Chapter 94 Wang Bo surrenders to Tang Dynasty
The Wei River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River. At the same time, the Wei River basin is also the birthplace of Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Shennong Yan of the First Ancestor of Humanities. Crossing the Wei River to the north means that Chen Ying completely left the scope of Chang'an.
People yearn for the prosperity and excitement of Chang'an, but Chen Ying didn't like the city of Chang'an very much. He felt that as long as he entered Chang'an, it was like a bird entering a cage. The moment he left Chang'an City, Chen Ying felt that he couldn't express his comfort in his body.
When the carriage rolled on the bridge of Weishui, Chen Ying's mind was full of thoughts. It was eight years later that Li Shimin set up a plan to suspect troops on the bridge and formed an alliance with the Turkic Jie Li Khan to kill the white horse. Of course, the price was also quite huge. Li Shimin gave all the wealth of Chang'an treasury to Jie Li Khan.
Chen Ying was maliciously thinking that as long as he had been in Lingzhou for one day, the Turks would not have a future Weishui Alliance. Of course, if he gave himself seven or eight years to manage it, even if Lingzhou was not a single piece, it would be difficult for the Turks to culminate.
Just as Chen Yingfu was thinking a lot, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Chen Ying lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked up at Zhao Chunyang and said, "What's going on!"
In fact, there was no need for Zhao Chunyang to answer, Chen Ying himself had already seen a large group of fierce cavalrymen appearing next to the official road, and the person in charge was actually Chen Ying's acquaintance - Xue Wanche.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Ying and Xue Wanche fought side by side in Jingyang.
Although Li Jiancheng did not appear, when Chen Ying saw Xue Wanche appear, he still didn’t know that Li Jiancheng was nearby?
However, Xue Wanche seemed to be intentionally showing off his riding skills and rushing towards Chen Ying's carriage. Zhao Chunyang did not know Xue Wanche, and he thought Xue Wanche was malicious. When he waved his hand, the Dingyuan army's cavalry lined up in formation.
Xue Wanche looked at the cavalrymen holding hooks and sickles and lined up with a wall of cavalrymen, and felt their scalp numb. He was still hundreds of steps away from Chen Ying's carriage. Xue Wanche urgently turned his head, and the followers followed closely behind.
"General..."
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's General Xue from the East Palace!"
Chen Ying quickly jumped out of the carriage, asked for a horse from the cavalry, turned over the horse, and ran towards the woods.
Sure enough, not long after, there was a large open space in the vast woods, and a huge curtain was spent. Li Jiancheng, dressed in military uniform, saw Chen Ying coming, and his originally cold face appeared: "I feel deeply regretful that this palace failed to practice it for General Chen..."
Li Jiancheng stretched out his fingers inside the curtain, and there were dozens of short tables of varying sizes, with beef, mutton and some wine on them.
"What kind of virtue does Chen Ying have?" Chen Ying suddenly found that the escorts under Xue Wanche were carrying marching dry food bags, and the quiver was also in combat readiness. The double quiver, fifty arrows, and ten sheep-headed armor-breaking arrows (both three-edged arrows), water bags, and Chen Ying's single-sleep sleeping bags. There were arrow bags, water bottles, and marching backpacks, which did not seem to be out for fun.
Chen Yingshi asked, "Where is the prince going?"
Li Jiancheng sighed leisurely and said, "Liu Wuzhou divided his troops to attack Fenzhou and Jinzhou. The three Hu asked his father to be anxious and even wrote a blood letter. Father... Alas, as the elder brother, I can't ignore it!"
It was not that Li Yuan did not want to take charge of Jinzhou, but that Zheng Qianfu, the governor of the Beihai of Sui, and Fang Hui, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Qianfu and Fang Huizhou were nothing, the key was that Wang Bo was going to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Bo was different from Li Mi at this time. Wang Bo controlled the East China Sea (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), Qi County (now Jinan City, Shandong), Dongping (now Yuncheng, Shandong), Rencheng (now Jining City, Shandong), Pinglu (now near Wenshang, Shandong), Shouzhang (now north of Liangshan, Shandong), Xuchang (now northwest of Dongping County, Shandong), etc. Wang Bo owned tens of thousands of people. In order to maintain his intimidation against Wang Bo, Li Yuan specially stationed the elite soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty near Chang'an.
Li Yuan thought that Jinyang had many soldiers and generals, and had a lot of food and armor reserves, and with Dou Dan, Yuwen Xin, Liu Dewei and others, nothing happened in the first place. The biggest problem in Jinyang was that Li Yuanji had a violent temper and was separated from the generals. As long as one member was gone, he could control Li Yuanji's people to Jinyang, and the dangers of Jinyang would be resolved without fighting.
When Chen Ying heard this, he sighed in his heart. History inevitably changed. Originally, in the danger of Jinyang in history, Li Yuan sent Pei Ji one after another. Unfortunately, Pei Ji did not solve the danger of Jinyang, but instead lost Jinyang.
Pei Ji lost Jinyang, but the influence was not great, because Pei Ji himself was Li Yuan's good friend, and the two of them had the same relationship. Even if they were defeated in Hedong, Li Yuan did not blame Pei Ji. He had good trust as always, but Li Jiancheng could not go. Once he fell into the whirlpool of Hedong, it would be difficult for Li Jiancheng to escape unstoppable.
Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng with a frown and said, "Your Highness, is Your Majesty clearing the order when you go to Hedong?"
Chen Yingsi thought about it. If it weren't for Li Yuan's clear order, Li Jiancheng would take the opportunity to get out and not get involved in this muddy water.
Li Jiancheng heard something vaguely in Chen Ying's words, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ying and said, "Does General Chen think that this palace will be in danger of going to Jinyang?"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, the disciples just think it's not worth it!"
If Chen Ying followed Li Jiancheng's words, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng would not have gone to Jinyang.
In fact, Li Jiancheng, like Li Shimin, was both a leader of troops. Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan and established the General's Mansion. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Li Jiancheng, the commander-in-chief of the left army, and the commander-in-chief of the left army, and was named Duke of Longxi County. Li Yuan led the central army himself, and the commander-in-chief of the right army was Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng was ordered to lead Liu Wenjing, Wang Changxi and others to station tens of thousands of people in Yongfeng Cang to guard Tongguan, and defeat Qu Tutong. Li Jiancheng only took the formation of Chang'an after being named the crown prince and no longer went out to lead the army. If Chen Ying dared to question Li Jiancheng's ability to command troops, it would probably be counterproductive.
"Isn't it worth it?" Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying with his eyes like lightning and said word by word: "In General Chen's view, isn't Jinyang worthy of visiting this palace as a place where Tang Longxing?"
Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng without fear and said, "I think it is really unwise for His Highness to go to Jinyang at this time!"
"Oh!" Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction when he heard this, and a warm anger appeared on his face: "According to General Chen's words, how can he be considered a wise choice?"
Chen Ying sighed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, now Wang Bo, Du Fuwei and others have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty one after another. If Your Highness the Crown Prince leaves the capital at this time, Wang Bo, Du Fuwei, and Li Mi's command are all taken by Your Highness the Qin King as used. One is rising and the other is not a blessing for the Tang Dynasty's country!"
Hearing this, a solemn look appeared on Li Jiancheng's face. Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said lightly: "Does Jinyang ignore it?"
