Chapter 145 The direction of the court has changed

The "east wind" mentioned by Chen Ying is actually not the real east wind, but the wind direction of the court. Attacking King Shichong of Zheng was Li Shimin's dish.

It is politically correct to stop at the right time. At any time, the sorrow of military generals is that they cannot see through the situation. On the contrary, Chen Ying saw this very clearly. For example, Liang Shidu, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and more than 20 counties. Not to mention mobilizing the imperial army, even if a general of the Sixteen Guards, with one guard and more than ten palaces, could torture Liang Shidu to death, but the court did not destroy Liang Shidu.

It is not because he can't, but because he doesn't want to. The scope controlled by the Liang Shidu happened to be on the Yinshan Mountain Road, which can reach the south of the Mo. In this case, if Li Tang eliminated the Liang Shidu, it would mean that he had to face the pressure from the Turks alone.

But Liu Wuzhou was different. After Liu Wuzhou died, his power collapsed. In fact, the Turks at this time, like the Tang Dynasty, were afraid of fighting wolves. Chuluo Khan was also afraid of being beaten by Chen Ying, and he did not dare to directly border the Tang Dynasty. As early as November last year, Chuluo Khan sent people to Dou Jiande and asked Dou Jiande for Queen Xiao and Yang Zhengdao at the cost of 10,000 war horses.

The Khan Ashinashiliver of Chuluo set up generals Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to welcome the Turks, supported Yang Zhengdao as the King of Sui, allocated all the officials and people of the Central Plains left in the Eastern Turks to Yang Zhengdao for governance, and restored the "Great Sui" regime. Yang Zhengdao set up hundreds of officials in Dingxiang, all of which were in accordance with the Sui Dynasty system and had more than 10,000 troops.

In this way, the Sui Dynasty established a buffer zone with the Turks in the direction of Shuofang, Hedong. Even though he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the banner of nominally, he actually made himself king, the chief of Youzhou, Luo Yi, the King of Yan, and the Turks did not dare to deal with it easily. Because Chuluo Khan was really afraid.

When Chen Ying had only thousands of cavalry under his command, he was no longer an opponent. Now, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, he could easily pull out 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry. At that time, even if he hid in the dragon court, it would be useless.

As early as when Li Yuan agreed to lead the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the left and right guards to attack Hangu Pass, Chen Ying had actually understood that Li Yuan really didn't want Chen Ying to break Hangu Pass. Because as long as he had some military knowledge, he knew that 20,000 troops would not easily break Hangu Pass.

Of course, if Chen Ying still used distilled hot oil to give Wang Renze a flame to burn the city, Chen Ying believed that Hangu Pass must have fought down like Yanmen Pass, which Liu Wuzhou guarded.

It is the nature of the emperor who likes to take everything into his own hands. As an emperor, Li Yuan had such an idea, which was naturally not beyond Chen Ying's expectations. It was actually not Li Yuan's purpose to break through Hangu Pass. Knowing how Chen used to break through Hangu Pass was what Li Yuan wanted to know the most.

He deliberately gave Chen Ying more than 20,000 troops, just to force Chen Ying to take out the incendiary bomb that broke through Yanmen Pass. Chen Ying felt ridiculous about Li Yuan's concerns. He wanted to tell Li Yuan that he could still use more powerful weapons as long as he was willing, but he just wanted to think that Li Yuan was so suspicious that Chen Ying really dared not trust Li Yuan without reservation.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder disrupted Chen Ying's deep thoughts. Shan Xiongxin looked at the small-scale cavalry team, suddenly became slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Why is he here?"

Chen Ying turned around and was looking at the visitor. This group of people were all his acquaintances, including the black-faced Luo Shixin, the honest Zhang Huaiwei, the fair-looking Zhang Shigui, and Duan Zhigan and Bi Xin.

Luo Shixin was still dozens of steps away from Chen Ying, and Asanosmo met. The two of them looked like cross-eyed eyes, and sparks collided in the air.

Luo Shixin looked at Asunasmo's hand and said word by word: "Hmph, don't use bows and arrows if you have any. Yeah, today you can teach you how to be a human being!"

Asuna Smoo retorted: "If you have a habit of not using your gun."

Luo Shixin jumped off his war horse and stabbed the frozen snow with a spear. He stumbled into the snow with an iron spear about one foot. Luo Shixin shouted at Ashinasmo and said, "Come on, come on, come on... Yeah, you can even defeat you with your fists!"

Asunasmo threw down his bow and arrow, and also rushed towards Luo Shixin with bare hands.

Shan Xiong's confidence tightened and was about to step forward to help.

In Shan Xiongxin's heart, brothers are always brothers. Luo Shixin is his brother, and Ashinasmo is not. Even if Ashinasmo is Chen Ying's confidant, he will be beaten up. At worst, he will turn around and accept Chen Ying's punishment with Luo Shixin.

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and pulled Dan Xiongxin's arm: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is their unique way of contacting each other."

Sure enough, as Chen Ying said, no matter Zhang Huaiwei or Zhang Shigui, they were not nervous, they all looked like watching monkey show with their arms around. The most overwhelming thing was Duan Zhigan, who actually pulled a group of generals to place bets next to them.

Luo Shixin and Asunasmo each have their own strengths. What Aunasmo is most proud of is his riding skills. However, Luo Shixin, the monster, not only has his riding skills not weaker than Asunasmo, but instead relies on his strength to do so. He often abuses Asunasmo in cavalry, but what Aunasmo is really powerful is his archery skills.

Among all the soldiers of the left and right guards in the East Palace and the left and right guards, there is probably no one who can compete with them. Even if Zhang Shigui's archery skills are good, Zhang Shigui's archery skills are still shooting, or standing on the ground shooting, with a very high accuracy. However, when riding and shooting on horseback, Zhang Shigui is far worse than Ashinasmo.

But compared to fists and feet, Luo Shixin is not inferior to Asunasmo, but Asunasmo is more powerful. Just like in "Water Margin", Li Kui is afraid of Yan Qing, Yan Qing can easily fall Li Kui. Similarly, as long as Asunasmo catches Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin will definitely be thrown. Of course, if Luo Shixin is not caught, the one who is beaten must be Asunasmo.

Just when Luo Shixin and Asunasmo were fighting each other, Chen Ying keenly discovered that there were a few unconventional faces in the team. Moreover, although these two men were dressed as cavalry, their attitudes were definitely not like mere soldiers.

Chen Ying looked at one of the people with a fair face, and the folds on his face. He was probably not less than forty years old, but he had no beard. There was only one answer - eunuchs from the palace.

"I don't know what this father-in-law is called?"

"Our father-in-law, we really don't dare to stop it!" The middle-aged man with a feminine appearance, a beardless lips and chin, and a white face as white as a woman, said with a smile: "We are the eunuch An Xing, the chief eunuch. I have met General Chen!"

During the Sui Dynasty, the eunuch was still an eunuch. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were demoted to the prison, and all eunuchs were demoted. Lang Guan was considered a relatively low-level eunuch in the eunuchs. He was much smaller than Chen Qi, a fourth-rank Zhongchangshi.

An Xing pointed to the soldier who was curious about the training of the Modao Army and the Scythe Spikes and said, "This is the Fangsi Lang Zhongwen Zhengming, the deputy director of the Ministry of War!"

Hearing this name, Chen Ying almost choked by his saliva.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhengming was a person with extremely poisonous eyes. He instantly caught the strangeness in Chen Ying's eyes and asked curiously: "Gen. Chen has heard of the officials?"

Chen Ying shook his head.

Wen Zhengming was tactful and did not ask questions.

Although An Xing, the eunuch, and Wen Zhengming, the Fangsi, the deputy director of the Ministry of War, Chen Ying already knew that the east wind he was waiting for had actually come. It didn't matter whether the east wind was considered or not, at least he already knew the specific actions next.

Wen Zhengming is a 5th rank in the Ministry of War, and he came to inspect military merits on behalf of the Ministry of War; An Xing, the inner minister, was a bureau chief who was waiting for supervision, and An Xing was probably the military supervisor.

An army without military supervision is actually very rare in this era. Chen Ying led more than 20,000 troops. If he knew the qualities, everyone would be happy. If he didn't know the qualities, a disaster would definitely come. Some people would ask him to settle the score later.

However, Li Yuan underestimated Chen Ying too much. Even though Chen Ying had not learned any political struggles, he had watched many TV series and movies. If a general, especially a general who has made great contributions, wants to live for a long time, he must first understand advancement and retreat and understand the general. Only when the emperor asked you to do things, you can do things. If you don't let you do it, it's best to keep your composure.

Having a military supervisor means that Li Yuan is preparing to give Chen Ying a more difficult task.

Chen Ying understood very well. After all, he was both a family and did not simply use his own awareness. He also relied on supervision. Now that Li Yuan asked An Xing to supervise the army, it means that Chen Ying would be weighted.

At this time, Luo Shixin and Asunasmo had already finished fighting. At this time, Luo Shixin's back was covered with snow, and he obviously fell more than one fall. Of course, Asunasmo did not take advantage.

Asuna's eyes were blue, the corners of his mouth were also broken, and a little blood was bleeding.

Luo Shixin patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "That's right, you fought beautifully in the North Plain of Hangu Road!"

"It's not enough. If Brother Luo, you can come here early!" Chen Ying pointed to Hanguguan City in the distance and smiled: "We can already drink in Hanguguan."

Chen Ying laughed and gestured to lead everyone to the Central Army tent.

This time, An Xing and Wen Zhengming brought the imperial reward from the court. However, the two good news and the seized gold were sent to Chang'an City. Chen Ying was not promoted or promoted this time, but was given a python robe.

The python robe is the clothing of the vassal king. The five claws are dragons and four claws are pythons. Chen Ying's head began to turn sharply. Li Yuan would not give him a python robe for no reason.

Although there were many kings in the Tang Dynasty, and there were many kings in different surnames. If you think about it carefully, it seems that no one else who was a king in different surnames had any good endings except Guo Ziyi. Although he had some contributions, he was still not even a little short of being named a king in terms of merit.

At this time, An Xing took out a roll of bright yellow jade scrolls and spread them in the unique voice of the eunuch, saying: "The champion general, the guest of the prince of the East Palace, the Duke of Pengcheng County, Chen Ying received the order!"

Chen Ying also knew the rules of the Tang Dynasty and immediately bowed and became serious.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered..."
