Chapter 125: Taking His Life While He Has Sick

Chen Ying was a little surprised. He did not expect that Hou Mo Chenqian would send his confidant Yu Qing to the northern plateau of Hangu Road overnight. However, when he saw Yu Qing coming, Chen Ying also knew that there was a way to ask what he asked Hou Mo Chenqian for.

Otherwise, Hou Mo and Chen Qian would not have to send Yu Qing to come at all, and could even find an excuse to send him away. Chen Ying also knew that Hou Mo and Chen Qian would help him as a favor, and it would be his duty not to help him. After all, Luoyang is Wang Shichong's nest, and he must have been managed by him for a long time. The task of rescuing Shan Xiongxin's family is undoubtedly a tiger's teeth. Even if it is surprisingly unexpected, it will successfully steal Shan Xiongxin's family out of Luoyang City and heading towards Guanzhong all the way, and will definitely be surrounded and intercepted by Wang Shichong's troops.

When performing this task, no matter whether it is successful or not, the losses will not be light.

Chen Ying looked at Yu Qing straight at him without saying a word.

Chen Ying smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know this is a bit difficult. If Hou Mo Chen is not able to do this, I understand it. Even if you are here, I understand what your elder brother means. Let me tell you, what I need to do in this trip, as long as I can do it, I will never say anything!"

Yu Qing smiled lightly and still didn't say anything. Chen Ying was a little confused and confused.

After a long time, Yu Qing sighed and said, "In the second year of Yong'an in Wei (529 AD), a rebellion of refugees broke out in Qingzhou. Tens of thousands of bandits, like locusts passing through the border, destroying villages and slaughtering countless cities. At that time, Lingzu followed the Daozai Yuan Tianmu to quell the Qingzhou Rebellion. Thousands of people in Licheng, Qingzhou Qi County followed Lingzu, fought dozens of battles, and finally quelled the Qingzhou Rebellion. Three hundred people survived and became Lingzu's follower Yicong. From then on, he conquered Dou Tai, restored Hongnong, defeated Shayuan, fought against Heqiao, and spread the world. Later, Lingzu was promoted to the general of the pillar country in the 15th year of Datong (549), and was transferred to the young tutor. Lingzu's follower Yicong, from the original more than 300 people to 3,000 people..."

Listening to Yu Qing's story, Chen Ying gradually understood.

Youdao is that a general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven, which is roughly the truth. After Hou Mo Chen Chong became the general of the Pillar Kingdom, he gave his name to these surviving soldiers. Hou Mo Chen still exists, and the tiger's righteousness comes forever.

In other words, as long as Hou Mo Chen is still there, the more than 3,000 soldiers will not need to worry about life problems. This is certainly grateful, but more of it is a measure to win people's hearts.

However, later, Hou Mo Chen Chong was killed, and these Yi Cong sacrificed themselves to avenge Hou Mo Chen Chong and killed all the young and old Yuwen Hu's family, both openly and secretly. However, during the period of Yuwen Yong and Yang Jian, the Hou Mo Chen family gradually resurrected, and these descendants of Yi Cong also became retainers of Hou Mo Chen family, following them for generations.

The two sides formed an alliance of interests to advance and retreat together, but with Yang Guang's rise to power and vigorously suppressing the clans, the Houmo Chen family, as a general for generations, was suppressed again. In recent years, the Houmo Chen family's industry gradually shrank, and the Houmo Chen family did not have talents who were good at managing, so life became more and more difficult. Three Thousand Yishu family members and more than three thousand families. After decades of development, although the number of wars has decreased, the total population of these three Thousand Yishu people now has more than 40,000 people across the country, which has increased by more than ten times.

At this time, the support of these 40,000 people had become the biggest burden of Houmo Chen family. Especially Chen Ying wanted to see the fort and control so much land around him. Houmo Chen Qian thought about transferring the burden to Chen Ying.

Looking at Yu Qingqiqi Ai's ai, "I don't know... Wulang, what do you think?"

More than 40,000 people are equivalent to the population of the four prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. With so many people, they need to eat more than 400,000 stones of grain every year, plus oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, consume almost 50,000 to 60,000 jin of money every year (the common people always have to spend more than a year). Not to mention the Houmo Chen family, who is in the evening, even a clan like the Hongnong Yang family cannot afford it.

However, Chen Ying was not only not afraid, but was worried about his lack of manpower. After this battle, Chen Ying knew that the internal conflicts in the Tang Dynasty would become more and more acute in the next period of time. Chen Ying was preparing to withdraw from the court and manage his business empire well in the Qinglin. It is good to develop the economy, but the shortage of manpower is Chen Ying's shortcomings. There are more than 40,000 loyal and reliable people. Chen Ying was confident that he would establish his business empire before the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Seeing Chen Ying hesitating, Yu Qing thought Chen Ying didn't want to take this heavy burden. He slowly put away the Golden Tiger Token and walked out with a staggering pace.

"Uncle Yu, why are you leaving?" Chen Ying asked in surprise: "How do you plan to place these people?"

Yu Qing was originally a versatile person. Judging from Chen Ying’s meaning, it seemed that he was not trying to refuse. Yu Qing was overjoyed: “Wulang, are you willing to take over the Golden Tiger Order?”

Chen Ying said: "What the eldest brother said is not bad. Yi has shed blood for Hou Mo Chen at the beginning. Now, no matter how difficult the Hou Mo Chen family is, they cannot let them cry again. Let's do this, Jinhu will ask you to take it back first, but I am responsible for these more than 3,000 households and more than 40,000 people!"

"But, Goro's name is only 50,000 acres of land, which is probably not enough to accommodate so many people!"

"Yes, those fields can be managed at most two or three thousand people, and they are also sperm species!" Chen Ying smiled relaxedly, "But who said that there is only one way to farm in this world?"

"What do they eat if they don't farm?"

"If you don't farm, you can do work!" Chen Ying said: "I now have a carriage workshop in Chang'an, a Chidao workshop, a high carbon steel workshop, a high manganese steel workshop, and a spring steel workshop. Whether it is high carbon steel or high manganese steel, even spring steel is in short supply. If there is enough manpower, I will be planning to increase the production capacity ten times or even twenty times. Every day, I watch a lot of silver flowing away from my eyes. You don't know how heartbroken I feel. Uncle Yu, don't worry, I will order Ge Tong to design a farm, start construction immediately in the spring, build eight farms on the periphery of Chen's Fort, east, west, south and north, each farm, and place 5,000 people. It won't take long to find that a city appeared outside Chang'an City."

At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have too few cultivated land in Guanzhong, but too few people, so they could not grow it at all. However, a large amount of land was in the hands of aristocratic families. Whenever there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, these families used various means, either forcing or taking over. In short, they would first force these people to destroy their families, and then purchase the land in the hands of farmers at an extremely low price.

Chen Ying founded various factories not to make money, but to give the family and aristocratic families of this era another way to develop the industrial economy, so that they can understand that the output value of land is far lower than that of industrial manufacturing, so that they can also delay land annexation.

In the end, Yu Qing kept the Jinhu Order and left. However, before leaving, Yu Qing told Chen Ying that he would go out to Luoyang in person and prepare to personally direct the secret stakes in Luoyang to handle the matter.

After Yu Qing left, Chen Ying immediately summoned four captains of the Beiwei Army and came to the central army's tent to listen to the orders of the marquis.

Although the battle on the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Wude caused Chen Ying to suffer a lot, Wang Renze did not take advantage. If compared, Wang Renze suffered a great loss.

The loss of two generals Shan Xiongxin and Guo Qing, and more than 15,000 troops under his command, Wang Renze's strength has been greatly damaged.

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Chen Ying naturally would not be ruthless to Wang Renze. Chen Ying looked at the four captains under his command, and his eyes finally fell on Liu Tong: "Liu Tong!"

"The last one is here!" Liu Tong stepped out and responded.

Chen Ying said: "I am now promoted to the left deputy lieutenant of the Beiwei Army, commanding the four regiments of the Beiwei Army, and let Xunxiang support you. You should advance eastward immediately, go down the ice surface of the Yellow River, waiting for an opportunity to obtain Hangu Pass, and seal Wang Renze's retreat to Hangu Pass."

Liu Tong was very surprised. He was Chen Ying's confidant, but Chen Ying himself served as the commander of the Beiwei Army, and his nominal deputy commander was actually the executive commander of Beiwei. However, this commander was two levels higher than other Zhechong commanders and was on par with the deputy commander of the left and right guards. Suddenly, Liu Tong became a senior general under Chen Ying, which made Liu Tong very uncomfortable.

However, he was not ecstatic, but said with a worried look: "General, although Wang Renze is defeated and his morale is low, he still has more than 1,500 troops and only uses more than 2,000 troops, and his strength may be insufficient."

Chen Ying smiled softly and did not answer.

It’s not right for Liu Tong to leave, nor is it right for him to stay.
