Chapter 40 The fateful showdown of Xuanwumen's blood change repeats itself(1/2)

Chapter 40 Fate duel Xuanwu Gate's blood change reenacts

Li Jing followed Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying entered the imperial study room. Li Jiancheng picked up a small box with a lock from the bookshelf and took out a stack of memorials from it. Li Jiancheng looked through it for a moment, took out a copy from it, and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jiancheng said: "This is the memorial that Tang Jian, the young minister of the Honglu Temple who was sent to the Turks, just presented, pharmacist, you are still thinking."

Li Jing whispered: "The prosperity of the Turks is marked by sheep, horses and livestock. Now the Turks are hungry and thin, which is a sign of demise. They are both resentful inside and outside, and many tribes rebel, and their soldiers are gradually weak. I have calculated that they are defeated and lost, and it takes less than three years..."

Li Jiancheng held his hands behind his back, looked at the north from afar, and said loudly: "If Tang Jian's news is accurate, civil strife in the Turks will inevitably be avoided."

At this moment, Chen Ying took the memorial. He was used to reading horizontally. He immediately discovered the problem and said: "Your Majesty, Tang Shaoqing's original intention is not as simple as it seems!"

Li Jiancheng frowned.

Li Jing nodded and said, "When I was in Liangzhou, I observed frequent abnormal movements of the Turks, and the troops of various units were frequently mobilized!"

Chen Ying picked up a pen and compiled the memorials. According to the words marked by Chen Ying, it immediately became: "The Turkic tribes were 300, and they were dispatched millions of troops, hoping to conquer the Tang Dynasty!"

When Li Jiancheng saw this scene, his face became gloomy.

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, don't blame Tang Shaoqing. It would not work in the Turks if the two countries had fought each other and did not take the envoys. They must force Tang Shaoqing to write this memorial according to their wishes!"

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists tightly and said, "The court can send troops, and we will deal with Liang Shidu first."

Li Jing nodded and said, "This time, it's time to settle the old accounts."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said, "If you want to annihilate the Liang Shidu, you must cut off the Turkic reinforcements, and you must take down the ten thousand cities."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Tongwancheng City's defense is strong, and it is ten times more difficult to attack than Yinzhou City."

Li Jing did not exaggerate that Tongwancheng was built by Helian Bobo, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Helian Bobo used Chigan Ali as a general as a master craftsman. Helian Bobo built a capital in the north of the Shuofang River and south of the Hei River. Helian Bobo said to himself: "I am now unifying the world and rule over all nations, and can be unified as the name of Wan."

Ali was particularly skillful in nature, but he was cruel and violent. He built the city with steamed soil. He then killed the author and built it. If he could not insert it into the city wall, he would kill the supervisor. The construction of Tongwan City took six years. After the completion of Tongwan City, the secretary-general Hu Yizhou wrote a complimentary article. The complimentary article said that the built Tongwan City was "Gaoyuyin said, Chongyongjiyun, Shiguo Tianchi, Zhoumian, Hualin Lingzang, Chongtai secret room, Tongfanglian Pavilion, and Chidaoyuan Garden."

From the date of its establishment, Tongwancheng existed like a military city. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tongwancheng was Tongwancheng, one of the six northern towns. Although it had been more than two hundred years, the walls of Tongwancheng were still as solid as iron, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Soldiers are very important. We know that Tongwancheng is difficult to fight, and the Turks also know that since this is the case, the Turks will definitely be relaxed in defense against Tongwancheng. If the King's army attacks for a long distance, it will not be without a chance to fight. If the Liang Shidu, who can conquer Tongwancheng, will lose foreign aid, will be in a turtle in the jar. Even if Tongwancheng cannot be captured, we can still choose to surround the points and attack the aid."

Li Jing looked at Chen Ying and smiled and said, "General Chen can overcome Yanmen Pass in one day and night, and break Hangu Pass in one hour. In the eyes of Turks, he is a heroic city, and in the eyes of General Chen, he must be able to capture it!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Transfer the Liuzhe Chongfu of Lingzhou Zhendingyuan Army to Weichen. Wei can guarantee that Tongwancheng will be taken down within half a month!"

Chen Ying's confidence makes sense. Tongwancheng is naturally extremely tight under the attack of siege in the cold weapon era. However, under the attack of Chen's use of hot weapons and primitive biological and chemical weapons, they can defend it, so they have a good idea.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "The six Zhechong Mansions in Lingzhou Town are too few. I will transfer the left and right guards of Zuowu Houwei to you..."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's OK!"

Li Jing said: "What the Turks are most worried about are Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs. These two tribes have long been resentful to Jie Li Khan. Now that they are becoming increasingly powerful, rebellion is almost inevitable."

Li Jiancheng said: "Then add more fire to them. I will issue an order to Zheng Yuanshou and order him to secretly contact Xueyantuo tribe and the Uighur tribe..."

Li Jing said: "If we want to eliminate the Turks, we must adopt the method of peeling bamboo shoots, layer by layer, piece by piece, to destroy Jie Li, and all tribes under Tu Li."

Li Jiancheng said: "Which side should do it first?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "Attack the west and defend the east."

Li Jiancheng asked back: "What if the Turks counterattack? They have many cavalrymen, so they can get rid of our field troops and directly attack the border defense on the Western Front."

Li Jing smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't come out. If you take down Tongwancheng, you can go back and forth with depth in the middle. You can start to attack the Turks and attack Tingzhou, Yiwuzhou, and the three thousand-mile-long grain road will kill them."

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "After that, will it be a decisive battle?"

Chen Ying also said eagerly: "At that time, I was ready. The troops on the Western Front, heading north along Jinshan, would definitely attract the main force of the Turks. The army on the middle line crossed the Hutuo River north, passed through Boling, Yanmen and Mayi counties to attack Mobei, and seized Jie Li's retreat, and Andong Li Shiji's troops surrounded the northwest along the Daxianbei Mountains."

Li Jing nodded and said, "The location where the East and West armies met should be Danhan Mountain. After the meeting, Maogong immediately swept the Linhuang River coast and completely destroyed the old Turkic camp."

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "The more he talks, the more it makes people feel itchy..."

The three of them burst into laughter knowingly.

At this moment, an eunuch walked towards Li Jiancheng and whispered: "Your Majesty, something happened!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his face changed slightly.

Li Jiancheng walked towards the Tai Chi Palace Shangshu Province. Chen Ying and Li Jing hurriedly followed Li Jiancheng.

It was not long, and the outside of the Shangshu Province was still bustling with people.

Li Jiancheng, Li Jing and Chen Ying came to the inside of the Shangshu Provincial Department Hall, but saw Fang Xuanling standing on a table and shouting to the officials: "I want to ask everyone, why did they want to become an official back then? What was the ideal of a scholar?"

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling with dissatisfaction.

Wei Zheng watched everyone's expressions change with interest.

Fang Xuanling pointed to the direction of Tai Chi Hall behind his finger and shouted in a stern voice: "The purpose of being an official is actually the same as the ideal of scholars, to cultivate oneself, to manage the family, to govern the country, and to pacify the world. Each of you pats your chest and think about it carefully. Have you still stick to your ideals over the years?"

The square in front of the Shangshu Province suddenly became silent.

Fang Xuanling's eyes were like lightning, and he slowly looked at the officials and said, "At any time, the court needs officials who are capable and able to uphold their integrity. There are many rules for the rule of eliminating officials, but in the final analysis, keep those scholars who can still stick to their ideals, and eliminate those corrupt officials who have long lost their purpose of becoming officials."

After Fang Xuanling said that, he turned around and walked into the Shangshu Province.

Wei Zheng followed in.

The historians rushed to clean up the case and some documents.

The officials gradually dispersed in groups of three or three.

Chen Ying suddenly laughed.

Li Jiancheng asked curiously: "Why are you laughing at?"

Chen Ying said: "I remembered an interesting couplet!"

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng asked, "What couplet!"

Chen Ying said: "If you are greedy and afraid of death, don't enter this door. Please go another way to get promoted and get rich!"

Li Jiancheng thought about it and wrote these sixteen big characters with his pen. Li Jiancheng's calligraphy is naturally excellent, at least domineering and solid. At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng came in a row.

Everyone was also shocked when they saw Li Jiancheng here.

Li Jiancheng took the couplet that had not dried ink, pointed at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and said, "I'll give you two!"

Fang Xuanling felt excited.

However, Wei Zheng said lightly: "Your Majesty, you should not give this couplet to the two of us, but to the government offices of all prefectures and counties in the world!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Okay, come here, ask the craftsmen to engrave them and set up the sides of the gate of the Tianxia Government!"

Chen Ying covered his head in pain, now he is having a big deal!

...

In Chenjiabao, Li Xiuning was coaxing Li Ruoxi who was making trouble. At this moment, Ma Sanbao came to report: "Princess, there is a manager of the King of Hejian outside the door and asks for a visit!"

Li Xiuning was upset by Li Li Ruoxi and waved her hand and said, "Bring him in!"

Not long after, Li Xiaogong's manager came to the hall. At this time, Li Ruoxi didn't know that she was tired of crying and fell asleep slowly.

Li Xiuning looked at the manager of the Hejian Prince's Mansion and said, "You are Kang Bo, what's the matter!"

The manager said, "My king wants to invite the princess to pass the mansion!"

Li Xiuning frowned and turned to He Yue'er and asked, "Hajian Prince's Mansion has any recent weddings and funerals?"

He Yue'er sighed and said, "Recently, the King of Hejian has taken six concubines, and all the servants sent people to prepare generous gifts!"

Li Xiuning looked at Kang Bo like lightning and said, "Did the King of Hejian say anything?"

Kang Bo's eyes dodged a little, and he said timidly: "No...no...what's wrong!"

Li Xiuning waved his hand and Kang Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew about Li Xiaogong's private meeting with Li Xiaochang, but Chen Ying was not in Chenjiabao, but there was only one Li Xiuning left.

He felt that God seemed to not let him get this great blessing.

After Li Xiuning asked Kang Bo to leave.

Li Xiuning handed Li Ruoxi to RU (this word is also a forbidden word), and Li Xiuning suddenly asked: "Yue'er, isn't Kang Bo very strange?"

He Yueer nodded and said, "It's a bit strange!"

Li Xiuning suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her head and said in shock: "Hurry up, someone will prepare a car, no, prepare a horse!"

Ma Sanbao asked strangely: "Princess, it's so late!"

He Yue'er said: "What happened to the princess?"

Li Xiuning said: "Hurry, inform the ladies of the personal guards, bring all their equipment, and go to Chang'an City with this princess!"

——Woooooo…

The thick and sob battle horn sounded, and a tense atmosphere of war immediately filled the sky above Chenjiabao.

Chenjiabao is an alternative to Chang'an City. Since Li Xiuning and Chen Ying both have military positions, their personal guards are only two Zhechong Prefectures, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, only the Changlin Army equipment and organization of King Li Yuanji of Qi can be compared with the guards of Chenjiabao.

At that time, this was just an open number. There were hundreds of workshops controlled by Chen Ying around Chen Jiabao, including the six major powers in Shuozhou and many craftsmen, all of Chen Ying's troops. Once war requires, Chen Ying could raise 6,000 troops in Chen Jiabao within one day. If there is three days of mobilization, the number would become 20,000.

After the Women's Detachment Army's personal guards and escorts gathered, Li Xiuning also dressed in military uniform and rode his horse to the school grounds and said, "Follow me to enter Chang'an City!"

When more than 1,500 guards of the Detachment of Women's Army set out, Zhou Qing immediately ordered: "Chenjiabao first-level combat preparations, and the tigers will return to build immediately!"
