Chapter 225 How can national affairs be played

When Li Yuan summoned his ministers to discuss national policies overnight, Chen Ying, who was 800 miles away, did not realize that he had crossed the river of time and came to the Tang Dynasty, and finally painted a more brilliant and bright future for his beloved nation and country.

Princess Pingyang is selfless. She did not wipe out Chen Ying's credit. Instead, she improved the scattered thoughts in Chen Ying's head with jealousy. The last trace of dust on the Chinese nation has quietly brushed away, and the Tang Dynasty has quietly begun to move to another direction. In the east of the world, the Chinese nation has begun to shine an extremely dazzling light. Where can she go?

It was late at night, and Wang Shiyun, who was in Yanshi City, tossed and turned, without any sleepiness. The sound of the whispers of the guards whispered in his ears. The sound seemed to be silent. Wang Shiyun got up, tiptoed to the door, listened in his ears, and heard intermittently the whispers of the guards whispered and complained.

"Liulang, are you hungry?"

"Stop talking, damn it, the more I talk, the hurried you get!"

"Shhh..."

"Be careful that Your Highness King Qi will hear it!"

"At this time, Your Highness, King Qi, should be asleep!"

"Don't...be careful..."

Wang Shiyun could no longer hear the remaining voice. Although he could not hear the voices of the guards' discussions in his ears, Wang Shiyun's heart could not calm down for a long time.

The territory and population of Zheng State were far from comparable to that of Li Tang. In particular, the materials were even scarce. Luokou Cang had already been warned, and the Central Plains had suffered a long time of war, people's livelihoods withered, and all industries were abandoned. The food and grass that Wang Shichong could recruit was very limited. Wang Shiyun's army of 20,000 to 30,000 shi of grain was distributed under Wang Shiyun, but there was no meat. Although Wang Shiyun did not deduct the food of the soldiers, each soldier could also get three liters of grain every day.

However.

People are afraid of comparison.

But now, Chen Ying was supplying food openly under the eyes of Zheng army soldiers as if they were not worth money. Even civilians could get a bowl of bone broth. Whenever the Tang army soldiers started their meal, the Zheng army soldiers looked at the smell of meat floating in the Tang army camp and kept swallowing their saliva...

Wang Shiyun wanted to curse Chen Ying, but this could not change the fundamental fact that the Zheng army soldiers were shaken. Now even Wang Shiyun's personal soldiers were shaking. As for ordinary soldiers, they might be even more complaining. His personal soldiers were 30% more than ordinary soldiers. It is conceivable that the soldiers of the Zheng army in Yanshi at this time were probably like a volcano that was about to erupt. God knows when this volcano will burst out.

Whenever I think that the soldiers will weaken their combat effectiveness and loyalty, I don’t mention how depressed Wang Shiyun is.

...

Wang Shiyun was just depressed, and Dou Jiande was about to vomit blood. He personally led the Xia army soldiers to attack Jinzhou City. He took the cost and day and night to finally seize Jinzhou City. In order to seize Jinzhou City, Dou Jiande lost more than 20,000 troops and almost the entire camp.

However, Li Jiancheng led the remnants of the Tang army to retreat to the bank of the Fenhe River, and set up a camp with his back to the camp. This camp with his back to the water. Looking at this camp, Dou Jiande frowned slightly and followed Ling Jing beside him, saying: "That is Li Jiancheng. He fought with his back to the water, with a basis for advance and retreat without any panic, as if he was following the wisdom of Huaiyin Marquis (Han Xin)..."

Dou Jiande shook his head and said, "He is not studying Huaiyin Marquis!"

Ling Jing was stunned and said in confusion: "Isn't this battle of the back-to-back battle to win the fame of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"Look, Li Jiancheng stood behind the river. In order to prevent us from attacking from the water, he used rafts to connect them together, set up arrow towers on the rafts, and connected the outer front lines, connecting them with large chariots and shields!" Dou Jiande sighed and said, "The entire camp was arranged in a half-moon shape, with the Fenhe River bay as the end of the month, and rafts and boats were arranged on the river. The main combat soldiers arrived with long soldiers such as chariots, crossbows, spears, and spears, and long soldiers, and axes and hammers as support. The cavalry was mobile and covered. Didn't Ling Qing think of anything?"

Ling Jing did not see anything abnormal at first. After being reminded by Dou Jiande, he suddenly realized: "Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Song...Du Yue Formation!"

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "Yes, Li Jiancheng is following the example of Emperor Liu Wu!"

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu was also a master of military tactics. His first time in the army was Sima, the champion general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun Wuzhong. His most famous battle was to establish the Queyue Formation, which defeated the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty with more than 2,700 infantrymen.

"Don't be discouraged, stand there with different temperaments, like a crane stands out from a flock of chickens. It is best to kill such a person with one knife, so as not to become a big trouble in the future." Ling Jing said to Dou Jiande: "At this time, there are less than ten thousand troops around him. Even if he uses his life, he must get rid of him."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Dou Jiande pointed to the generals beside Li Jiancheng and said, "There is a general flag with Xue, beside Li Jiancheng. I think it must be the son of Xue Shixiong, the former General of the Right Guard of Sui. I don't know if it is Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, or Xue Wanshu? Forget it, no matter who it is, look at the more than 2,000 cavalry under the general flag with Xue, all the troops are all in a mediocre hand, and they are also good horses. Even if they lose, their more than 2,000 cavalry guards protect Li Jiancheng to break through, how many people will be needed to get rid of him?"

Ling Jing looked at Li Jiancheng's arrangement. Although Dou Jiande had nearly 100,000 troops, it would be difficult to get rid of Li Jiancheng, unless Liu Heita could lead the Xia army cavalry. Ling Jing did not continue this topic, but changed the topic and asked Dou Jiande: "Your Majesty, now that Li Shimin is in Cijian, your Majesty also ordered people to send 100,000 stones of food and grass, and more than 30,000 armor and equipment to Wang Shichong. If it became a climate for him, wouldn't it be a disaster for raising a tiger?"

"So what if he becomes a climate?" Dou Jiande smiled and said, "If the Li Tang court could be defeated so easily, Liu Jintang and tens of thousands of Hebei men who died under Chen Ying would accept their fate."

Thinking of Chen Ying's army advancing like a wall, the sword light flashed and the people and horses were shattered, Ling Jing subconsciously shook coldly, he smiled and thought too much. It is said that even if the centipede worms die, even if the Li Tang court fails, as long as the foundation of Bashu, Guanzhong and Hexi is still there, the central government still has strong and powerful constraints on the local area. It is too early to defeat Li Tang.

Dou Jiande smiled and said, "The most important thing at the moment is to dig out the foundation of Li's family little by little to make it float. Although Li Yuan is not as young as Li Dalang, he is really not as good as Li Dalang in terms of being a good person. I don't know where Li Yuan has lived in the past years. As long as Li Shimin dies at the hands of Wang Shichong, Li Yuan will definitely be with Wang Shichong forever. In this way, I will have the opportunity to compete for the world."

Dou Jiande was not sure how much opportunity he had, but he could use Wang Shichong to hold the Li Tang court. When he recovered in Hebei, he would have more opportunities to move, whether it was attacking or defending.

...

At midnight, the moon is bright, the Fen River is surging silver waves, and the lights at the corner tower at the mouth of the river look like a bright star from a distance. On several rafts connected together, arrow towers are like quiet beasts lying on the river surface.

The breeze and the moon were bright, and the waves were not rising. Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other in the cabin and ate wine. When talking about state affairs, they sighed.

Li Jiancheng received the mansion report later. After all, the land of Hedong and the south of Jinzhou fell. The mansion report needed to be transferred from Longmen Ferry to Lishi before it could fall into Li Jiancheng's hands. The latest mansion report was sent back from the north.

Although Chen Ying took over Xingyang, he had a deep hatred with the Zheng clan of Xingyang. Li Jiancheng naturally knew the energy of the Zheng clan of Xingyang. Although the Zheng clan of Xingyang did not seize the world and had a strong ambition to win the supreme, with the strength of the Zheng clan, it was still easy to ruin the good things of the Tang Dynasty. At least, the entire Henan Road, the descendants of the Zheng clan of Xingyang and the former officials of the Zheng clan of Xingyang were unknown. If the Zheng clan was brave enough, it would probably take one day to change the flags and flags of two-thirds of the counties in Henan Road. Now Chen Ying was unexpectedly blocked by Wang Shiyun.

Wei Zheng said: "With General Chen's ability, he has a previous example. He broke Yanmen Pass within one day and Hangu Pass within one hour. However, a mere Yanshi City actually fought for five days. There was only one explanation. General Chen was trapped by the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"Not necessarily," Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Wang Shiyun is not a mediocre talent, and it is definitely not comparable to Liu Wuzhou and Wang Renze and others. Maybe Wang Shiyun is particularly good at defense, so that General Chen can't catch loopholes. You can see that Jinzhou City. Dou Jiande has tens of thousands of troops. When he attacks Jinzhou City, if it weren't for the voluntary retreat, then Dou Jiande can take Jinzhou City now?"

Wei Zheng suddenly remembered another possibility. Chen Ying did not want to break through Wang Shiyun's defense line so quickly. In fact, if you consider the problem from Li Jiancheng's perspective, the later Chen Ying conquered Yanshi City, the more beneficial it would be for Li Jiancheng. After all, without the King of Qin, there would definitely be no one in the court to suppress Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan's three adult sons, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, had a good relationship with the fourth son, Li Yuanji, King Qi. They are almost always prospering and losing both. Without Li Shimin's existence, there would be no internal factional disputes in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng looked at the lake in the distance and said silently. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's really a joke to treat the affairs of the country..."

Wei Zheng sighed lightly, looked back at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, the matter is important and urgent. I think General Chen can tell the difference."

Wei Zheng knew very well that if Li Shimin had not fought against him, he would have the benefit of successfully ascending the throne. He really did not dare to put his hope on Chen Ying's enlightenment.

However, from the bottom of my heart, Wei Zheng really didn't want Chen Ying to turn the tide and save Li Shimin this time.

Li Tang lost the loss of Li Shimin and Changsun Shunde's 50,000 troops under his command, and he could afford it, so try not to save him if he could.

However, Li Jiancheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "No, I must send a letter to Chen Ying. This matter must not be a joke. I must ask Erlang for help at any cost!"
