Chapter 157 Fighting Tigers Brothers and Sons
Chapter 157: Brothers in the battle of the tiger
Chen Ying was in a military life and participated in almost all the major battles after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
When he was an ordinary soldier, he blocked the general Luohu under Xue Rengao from Longxi, defeated Song Jinggang and Liu Wuzhou from Bingzhou, and conquered Yuchi Jingde.
He defeated King Shichong of Henan and forced Dou Jiande of Hebei to surrender, and had great achievements and great reputation. He fought against the Turks in four battles, which made the Turks lose their courage. It can be said that Chen Ying made great contributions to Li Jiancheng being the emperor.
In the later foreign wars, Chen Ying successively destroyed the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, annexed Gaochang, and swallowed thousands of miles. He also destroyed Tubo casually, blocking Tubo and continuing its expansion momentum.
Although Chen Ying did not fight against Goguryeo. Wei Zheng had no doubt that Chen Ying had the confidence and confidence to defeat Goguryeo.
However, Chen Ying was just a person after all.
However, Chen Ying was not an invincible general who was invincible, but like Li Jing and Li Shiji, he was famous for his wisdom and command.
Even though the Eastern Turks suppressed the Sui Dynasty for several years and the Tang Dynasty for nearly nine years, the Eastern Turks had gained the upper hand in just over ten years. As early as the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, before the Turks were divided, they were divided and divided. Then Yang Jian made three northern expeditions, which made the Turks feel shadowy.
Chen Ying could lead the Tang army soldiers to kill the Turks and defeat the army. The Tang army soldiers had this confidence and confidence. The key is that Goguryeo is different.
Goguryeo entered a state of war with the Sui Dynasty more than 40 years ago when the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen State. When Yang Jian was achieving a prosperous country and strengthening the army, he began to use troops against Goguryeo. The first time he used troops was Yang Liang, the King of Han, and Gao Jin and the general Zhou Luohu assisted him, leading a large army of 300,000 sea and land to attack Goguryeo. As a result, the plague was rampant, and Zhou Luohu and Jiang Yishi's 50,000 naval troops did not defeat the Goguryeo Navy and ended in a big defeat.
When Yang Guang was conquering the world in the seventh year of Daye, Wang Bo wrote a poem "Song of the Death of the Waves of Unsighted Liaodong". In front of Changbai Mountain, Shilang was wearing a red silk brocade back and a crotch. A long spear invaded the sky, and a wheel knife shone with the sunlight. He went up the mountain to eat roe deer, and down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, he heard that the official army was here, and he carried the sword and swung forward. It was like the death of Liaodong, and what was the injury to beheaded?
Why can Wang Bo respond to his requests? The key is that he was afraid of being beaten during the first campaign of Goguryeo.
Now Wei Zheng is very worried that Chen Ying will repeat this mistake.
Of course, after hearing Wei Zheng's words, Chen Ying did not refute because this was the fact.
Chen Ying was even more moved by the soldiers' fear of this.
The War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for fourteen years, especially after the September 18th Incident, the Northeast Army gave up resistance, and Japan almost completely occupied the entire Northeast.
Of course, history says that Zhang Xueliang was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek and refused to resist. Audience friends, there are many people who hold this view? Is this true?
Zhang Xueliang is a warlord. For warlords, the first thing that is most important is strength. For a Chiang Kai-shek, the Northeast Army is not a direct lineage. He uses a knife to kill people. When the Northeast Army fights to the east and west, isn’t it more in line with Chiang Kai-shek’s interests?
No matter how the Northeast Army is whitewashed, it is as afraid of the enemy as a tiger. The 300,000 Northeast Army can withdraw from the Northeast to the pass intact. What kind of mobilization ability is this? The Northeast Army is really bloody. It can learn from Huang Xiansheng, Ma Zhanshan, and Zhong.
But how many Huang Xiansheng's voices did the Northeast Army have? How many Ma Zhanshan have?
In addition to the Northeast Army, there was also Han Fuqu, and the King of Shandong also fled without fighting.
In addition to the general factor, the warlord army at that time had complex components and no national concerns were also the main reason.
It has been without any sign of victory for more than 40 years. It can be said that the fear of the soldiers of the Tang army is also the real reason why Li Shimin failed to defeat Goguryeo. Chen Ying felt that the twelve guards could not move lightly. If the soldiers did not obey the orders and were released directly, not only would Chen Ying's reputation be destroyed in his lifetime, but it would also help the arrogance of Goguryeo.
Especially Chen Ying is now known as a military god in the Tang army. Once he is defeated, the morale of the Tang army soldiers will be even more serious.
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Xuancheng, what you reminded is that now that your Majesty's golden mouth cannot be changed. As the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, you will issue an order to the Su Dingfang troops of the Anxi Army, so that they can take the train back immediately!"
There are three reasons why Chen Ying considered this.
First, Anxi can do it as an arm instructor, and Anxi has been defeating the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Kucha, Shule, Yutian, and Tubo since Liangzhou, and has swept thousands of miles without any signs of defeat.
Second, the soldiers of the Anxi Army have lived in Anxi for a long time and have long been accustomed to the heat and cold of Anxi. In the face of the severe cold, they have already gained rich experience in dealing with it, which can greatly avoid non-combat reductions.
The third is that it comes from political purposes. It represents Chen Ying, who is completely selfless in dealing with the Tang Dynasty court and can accept the court's strategy of moving the government.
Finally, there is a small selfish intention. As the saying goes, not returning home without wealth is like walking in a night clothes. Not all the soldiers of the Anxi Army like to settle down in Anxi'an's home, and many soldiers also want to return to their hometowns.
"Where to garrison the guards?"
Wei Zheng looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "General Chen thought what to do?"
"Easy!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Su Dingfang can be appointed as the general of the Youtun Guard, and all the more than 30,000 soldiers of the Youtun Guard will be moved to Kucha, while all the troops of Su Dingfang will be moved to Guanzhong. Once the attack on Goguryeo is completed, let them stay in Chang'an as the Youtun Guard!"
Wei Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
In fact, the court had long had the idea of mixing sand to Anxi Army. This plan was put on hold just to take into account Chen Ying's feelings.
Now, Chen Ying proposed this plan.
Just in time to go with the flow.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng bowed and said, "General Chen, Wei Zheng still has to discuss with His Majesty, let's leave!"
Chen Ying nodded.
...
When Chen Ying returned to Chenjiabao, the battle between Li Xiuning and Yang Rong was over.
Li Xiuning almost won back half of Yang Rong's shares by cheating.
Yang Rong had already said goodbye and left.
Li Xiuning, who was physically and mentally exhausted, lying in bed and sleeping soundly.
After Chen Ying took a shower, he lay beside Li Xiuning and took a nap.
It was not until the lights were held that Li Xiuning woke up slowly.
Chen Ying ordered the meal to start directly.
Perhaps she felt very good about herself. Li Xiuning ate a bowl of rice and kept showing off to Chen Ying. She spent half a day and night and won more than two million dan.
Chen Ying did not point out Li Xiuning's little thoughts.
Pretending to be unintentional, Chen Ying asked everyone two things, namely, sending troops to Goguryeo, and Pei Ju, as his youngest daughter, asked Li Siye for marriage.
When Li Xiuning heard this, her face turned gloomy: "I'll go find Your Majesty!"
Chen Ying grabbed Li Xiuning and said, "Sanniang, listen to me!"
Li Xiuning was not angry that she asked Chen Ying to send troops. She was not worried about Goguryeo Li Xiuning. She had blind confidence in Chen Ying.
The key is Anxi. Others don’t know Anxi’s wealth, but Li Xiuning, who has lived in Anxi for more than three years, knows it very well.
Anxi is actually a treasure land, and now this treasure land has been enthroned by Li Jiancheng to Chen Qian.
Even at that time, Li Jiancheng's real idea was to make Chen Ying pretend to die, and to make up for the pain of Chen Ying's invisibility.
However, Li Xiuning doesn't think so.
She believed that Li Jiancheng had given Anxi to Chen Qian, who was King Anxi.
Everything about Anxi is owned by Chen Qian and Chen Ying. What's the point of moving the left and right garrisons to Anxi now?
Chen Ying said: "Let's discuss this later. Should Dalang refuse or agree to Dalang's marriage?"
Li Xiuning did not directly express her attitude. She respected Li Daozhen and took into account Li Daozhen's feelings.
Li Daozhen thought a lot.
Her son is already a concubine's son, and it would be even more funny if he married another concubine's daughter.
You can ignore your status, but your son cannot.
Anyway, Chen Ying is different from other nobles.
Other nobles, titles and property are only distributed to the eldest son, while the second son or other concubines have no chance.
However, Chen Ying divided his property in triplicate, which may become four or five in the future. Now it depends on the three of them who will give birth to a son or daughter for Chen Ying.
A concubine's wife is not only a bad reputation.
There is also a problem of ability.
The concubines are of low origins and will definitely not be able to receive the key training of the family during the training process. They have narrow horizons and are even more ineffective in handling housework.
This is something that Li Daozhen cannot tolerate.
On the contrary, Pei Ju's daughter, regardless of her origin or family background, is worthy of Li Siye.
Thinking of this, Li Daozhen said, "Sister, I feel good. Wenxi Pei has a family background. He has a family of Dukes and Marquis, and is full of hats and clothes. It is a good marriage!"
Li Xiuning looked at Li Daozhen's attitude very clear and said, "Chen Lang, Dalang is now twelve years old. It's time for you to attack Goguryeo. Why not take him to see the world!
Li Daozhen is not stupid, she can easily hear what Li Xiuning means.
Seeing the world is just an excuse, giving Li Siye a chance to make contributions, which is the real purpose.
Following Chen Ying is not only safe, but also has credit for it.
