Chapter 50 Su Dingfang, I'm optimistic about you (first update)

Li Yuan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, without expressing his opinion directly. He thought carefully. The Cavalry Army, the Mo Dao Army and the Shooting Army were three new troops formed by Chen Ying when he was in Henan Prefecture, based on the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the left and right guards.

Although Chen Ying informed the court of the dazzling achievements of the three new troops, in Li Yuan's view, these three new troops were only more than 20,000 troops. Even the elite troops were just a role of following the left and right guards and left and right guards in the East Palace. Chen Ying must have deliberately pushed his military achievements to the Mo Dao Army, the Shooting Army and the Cavalry Army in order to promote his confidant general. Of course, Li Yuan also considered a lot. Chen Ying was willing to lead more than 20,000 new troops, plus more than 30,000 surrendered soldiers to support Liangzhou and face off against tens of thousands of elite troops in the Western Turks. This courage alone was beyond the reach of the court.

Li Xiuning was anxious when he heard this: "A good wife cannot cook without rice. You don't want to lead the four guards of the East Palace. No matter how bad you are, you should lead the six palaces of Dingyuan Army. The surrendered soldiers from Hebei are all a group of mobs. If you ask me, go to Liangzhou. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

"Why is Xiongjie without the courage and courage to wrap a horse in the corpse?" Chen Ying laughed and did not worry about the fate of going north this time.

Although Li Yuan is an emperor, he is not really a heart-warming person. He is also a person, and he is a complex complex of contradictions. Just like in later generations, when men look at beauties, they wish that the beauties on the street are all sluts, and they can get started with it as soon as they hook up. However, once they involve their own relatives, they will immediately change to another set of behavioral rules, and they wish that their relatives are as conservative as possible.

Li Yuan was like this. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the real return of Hebei, Li Yuan did not hesitate to make a fuss about the situation early, and wanted to kill Dou Jiande's planner Ling Jing, and Dou Jiande. However, when facing Chen Ying, his son-in-law, he hesitated. If Chen Ying was unfortunately killed in battle this time, he knew that Li Xiuning would not forgive him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan raised his head and looked at Chen Ying with a burning look, "What else do you have? As long as I can do it, I will agree with it!"

Chen Ying reached out and patted Li Xiuning's back gently, while comforting Li Xiuning softly, and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, as the princess said, it is hard to cook without rice. I can not transfer the left and right guards of the East Palace, and the left and right guards led the elites. However, I want to ask Your Majesty to transfer Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan and Wei Wenzhong to me. These five generals are convenient!"

The reason why Chen Ying chose these five people to accompany him was not really easy to use. In fact, with Chen Ying's prestige and status in the army, no general dared to stumbling to Chen Ying. The army is not as good as the court, this is a place where strength is very important. Whether it is the general or the soldiers, they all hope to follow a general who can bring them victory.

However, since Chen Ying debuted, he has fought many big and small battles, and he has never suffered any losses. Of course, this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that once the situation in Liangzhou stabilizes, for a long time, the Tang Dynasty will have no external troubles, and the main struggle will also shift from outside to inside. The struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will be more intense.

Chen Ying did not want to intervene in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. In fact, there would be no way out if he intervened in this struggle. Success is good, but once he failed, he would have nothing. The current history has been changed beyond recognition by Chen Ying, and Chen Ying could not be sure whether Li Shimin would lay Qian Kun in one fell swoop like in history and successfully ascend to the throne of the Supreme Nine Five.

Moreover, Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's brother-in-law, and he is also Li Shimin's third brother-in-law. No matter who wins or loses, Chen Ying's status is unshakable. Chen Ying is different from Changsun Wuji. If Li Shimin fails, Changsun Wuji will fall to the mortal world. If Li Shimin wins, he will rise.

It is obvious that Chen Ying is invincible, and there is no need for Chen Ying to trek into this muddy water.

Of course, Chen Ying took Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Wei Wenzhong to Liangzhou, mainly because they did not want them to intervene in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Especially Luo Shixin and Zhang Huaiwei, they are both stubborn and upright people. If the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng intensifies, they are the most vulnerable people. Because they are sincere to others and will not be vigilant.

To deal with people like Luo Shixin and Zhang Huaiwei, set up a trap and trap them in and leave Chang'an, which is the best result.

In addition to their talents, those heroes who shine in the long river of history need some luck. Luo Shixin's luck is actually not very good, otherwise he would not have died in the battlefield when the Tang Dynasty was about to end the internal struggle and complete the unification of the world.

Although Li Yuan was not sure about the twists and turns in Chen Ying's mind, he felt that it didn't matter after thinking about it. After all, every general hopes to bring his own confidant in war. Disagreement between generals and generals is a real taboo in military strategists.

Li Yuan said: "I'm sure!"

Chen Ying also said: "I would like to ask for an order, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to approve me of my right to be independent in the battle, including the military of the nineteen states under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou General Administration. And once the front line comes, I would like to ask Your Majesty to disbelief of my unfavorable rumors, including the news that I have been killed!"

Chen Ying said this, in fact, it was just a vaccination for Li Yuan. Chen Ying believed that once he was frustrated in military terms, the Turks would take political measures. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling was just a fraudulent surrender at that time. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not heard of the rumors, Li Ling would take the opportunity to escape back. However, when Li Ling was completely cut off from Li Ling's journey back to Han.

Li Yuan did not consider this and agreed to it all.

It is naturally not that simple to involve national wars.

Li Xiuning, Li Yuan and Chen Ying discussed at Furong for a whole night. When it was dawn, Li Yuan dragged his tired body back to Tai Chi Palace.

However, Chen Ying also did not rest. He just washed his face in a hurry and met Sun Jingchu.

Seeing Chen Ying, Sun Jingchu immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know what Jingchu is looking for by the Lord, what orders do you have?"

Chen Ying handed a red note to Sun Jingchu. When Sun Jingchu opened it, he saw that it was written on it, "Zi appointed Sun Jingchu as the military officer of the Longyou Dao Military and Horse Marshal." There were also seals of the Longyou Dao Marshal, the Longyou Dao Xingtai Shangtai Zuo Pushe, the general of the army, the son-in-law of the Liangguo Duke Chen, the Duke of Liang. The ink mud on it was not yet done.

Sun Jingchu only had some understanding of the official system of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Ying, the Longyou Dao Military and Horse Marshal, was actually on par with the later Grand Governor's Office. Sun Jingchu, the military officer, was actually an official who managed armor and was ranked below the governor. However, due to the level of Grand Governor's Office, his military officer was one level higher than that of ordinary states and Caosan, and he was a fifth-rank official.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. More than 50,000 troops set out to fight 3,000 miles. In ancient times, transportation of food and grass would be a very difficult problem. Chen Ying knew that if the 50,000 troops rely on land transportation, they would probably have tormented the Tang Dynasty's treasury.

Of course, it is different to use water transportation. Once you go north along the Yellow River and flow back to Shuozhou, Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Lingzhou. Turn from Lingzhou to west, then you will only reach Liangzhou for more than one thousand miles. Although it is only reduced by two-thirds of the journey, it can reduce the consumption of the journey by at least half.

Sun Jingchu was extremely happy to see Chen Ying appointed as a fifth-rank official.

Chen Ying pointed to the red note and said, "The specific deployment is not convenient to disclose to you. It is impossible to carry all supplies from Chang'an, so I hope you can now transfer the canal transport ships and transport the young and strong from Hebei from near Mingzhou to Tongguan to Tongguan, and join the general in Tongguan!"

Sun Jingchu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, give it to the humble position and ensure that the task is completed."

If more than 30,000 people rely on a long walk for more than 3,000 miles, they will think of arriving in Liangzhou, at the speed of the elite of this era, it will take at least 60 days. However, if you take a boat, even if the canal ship is slow, you can reach Liangzhou for at most more than half a month and at most twenty days.

Chen Ying did not consider the Fourth Ranger of the Eastern Palace, because most of the soldiers in Guanzhong were landslides, but Hebei near Mingzhou was young and strong, because they were located in a terrain and were water-like. Even if they were not water-like, they would not be seasick when they marched by boat.

People who are not seasick will definitely not feel it. Once seasick is long, it is likely that people will dehydrate and lose their strength.

In order to deceive the truth, Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to put on his clothes and walked in the same car with Li Xiuning. From time to time, he went to Qinglin and wandered back and forth in Chang'an. However, because Princess Pingyang was a ceremonial guard and a prince, he could not get close within a hundred steps. In this way, Chen Ying still gave people the illusion that he was still in Chang'an.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Chen Ying sent troops, he did not transport much materials and food from Chang'an at all. Almost all of these materials were replenished in Lingzhou.

Chen Ying had already received news that Li Daozhen had stocked weapons and equipment in Lingzhou that could arm 100,000 people, as well as food for more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou for one year.

This saves Chen Ying the trouble, and Chen Ying can also take a look at his son, which is a killing two birds with one stone.

On September 17, the third year of Wude, Chen Ying took Asunasmo and Zhou Qing and took a light and simple carriage and took Chen Ying's boat to quietly follow the Jieyu River and enter the Wei River.

After three and a half hours of sailing, at the intersection of the Wei River and the Yellow River outside Tongguan, he took boats with Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui and Zhang Huaiwei's troops. More than 1,000 large canal ships transported by Sun Jingchu will transport more than 20,000 war horses and more than 20,000 soldiers and quietly head north.

"Wan'an" flowed upstream along the Yellow River. Chen Ying stood on the deck and breathed the wet and cold air on the river. Chen Ying felt that every pore on his body had indescribable comfort.

Su Dingfang stood behind Chen Ying. He could not understand why Chen Ying was so happy no matter what. He was simply ignorant.

In Su Dingfang's view, Chen Ying led more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry to Liangzhou, which was simply a death sentence.

However, not only did not realize the death of Chen Ying, he patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder and said, "Su Dingfang, this general is optimistic about you. After this battle, you will be famous all over the world!"
