Chapter Seventeen

"You are my person!" Chen Ying felt a lot of thoughts when he heard it.

Li Xiuning never lies. If it were during the Sui Dynasty, Chen Ying's affairs would be difficult to deal with. After all, Su Hu's father Su Wei was the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty and a wealthy family in Guanzhong for many generations. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official under the prime minister, let alone Li Xiuning could not afford Su Wei, even Li Xiuning's father Li Yuan could not afford Su Wei.

But now it's different.

Youdao is that the older the world, the less courageous he is. As Su Wei grew older, he lost all the moral integrity. When Yu Wen and killed Yang Guang, he appointed Su Wei as the Guanglu official. Yu Wen and his army were defeated, Su Wei surrendered to Li Mi. Li Mi was defeated, and then surrendered to Wang Shichong and appointed Su Wei as the Grand Tutor.

Su Wei seems to be a boss nemesis now, and he dies with whom he dies. Even Su Wei is already a slave of the three surnames, let alone his son Su Hu. If Su Hu is tactful, then he will be fine. If he really wants to make trouble, Li Xiuning doesn't mind and asks Wannian County Magistrate to change his person.

After all, Li Yuan will definitely give this little face.

Li Xiuning said: "In the past three days, only seven injured soldiers treated with surgery have died."

When Chen Ying heard this, he was shocked: "Seven people died? That would be great if there was penicillin!"

"What is penicillin?" Li Xiuning asked curiously.

Chen Ying said: "It is a magical medicine, which is very effective in treating trauma infections. I saw it from an ancient prescription, but I don't know how to make this medicine."

Li Xiuning showed a look of disappointment, and after a while, he said leisurely: "If this surgery had been invented and promoted throughout the army, I don't know how many people would have died less."

Chen Ying said: "It's not too late now!"

"The father is too stingy, why do you reward a fifth-rank Wusan official and actually a sixth-rank captain?" Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Why are you awarded a title?"

Chen Ying was ecstatic when he heard this.

The fifth-rank martial officials and the sixth-rank real position. If they were placed in later generations, they would at least be considered a department-level cadre. Sixth-rank officials under the age of twenty are rare in the world.

"It's not too young, it's not too young!" Chen Ying said: "I'm still young now. My real man is looking for a title of marquis. One day, I will also be appointed as a general and become a general."

"I'm really angry!"

"That's of course!"

"I hope you don't mind one thing!" Li Xiuning said: "It's the Yongying in Jingyang Township, which was reorganized into the Zhechong Prefecture of Jingzhou?"

"If you reorganize it, just reorganize it!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "If you can be recruited by the court, your brothers will be considered as having a background. It is better than having no name or no share."

Looking at Li Xiuning's desire to speak but stop, Chen Ying said: "Is it true that all the generals and officials in Zhechong Prefecture in Jingzhou have to be replaced?"

Li Xiuning said, "Not everyone has changed. According to the Ministry of War, the Zhechong Prefecture of Jingzhou was designated as the Shangzhou Military Prefecture, with four regiments and one team under its jurisdiction, each regiment under its jurisdiction, and the entire mansion had a total of 1,250 soldiers."

Chen Ying said: "That's not enough troops. There are less than a thousand people in Zhechong Prefecture, Jingzhou, and the minor and serious wounded people?"

Li Xiuning said: "The right-handed guard of the Eastern Palace, Xue Wanche, and 50 people from the Zhao Palace's Marriage Mansion, were all reorganized to the Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou. Xue Wanche was appointed as the commander of the Zhechong Mansion, and the right-handed guard commander of the Eastern Palace's Marriage Mansion Bi Lei, Shen Yanjing recognized the left and right-handed deputy lieutenant Guo Yi. The other generals were promoted to the Zhao Palace's Marriage Mansion Yuwen Bao, and the East Palace's Marriage Mansion Zhang Da, Meng Changze, Shang Yu and Li Liangheng served as the regiment lieutenant respectively!"

Chen Ying said: "Where are Zhang Huaiwei, You Ziying and the others?"

Li Xiuning said: "This...they have other important responsibilities!"

Chen Ying suddenly understood that Li Jiancheng really took action.

Li Jiancheng is also a person who is good at seizing the opportunity. Jingyang is 80 miles away, and you can reach the city of Chang'an by marching within one day. The East Palace has a direct army. The key is that this army is just under Chang'an's nose.

Like Chen Ying, Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying were both founders of the Yongying Camp in Jingyang Township. They have a great reputation in the army. If they cannot win over, it will be difficult to completely master the Zhechong Prefecture in Jingzhou. The safest way is to transfer them out of Zhechong Prefecture in Jingzhou. From the Zhechong Prefecture to the left and right deputy lieutenant Guoyi, other generals, chiefs and lieutenants of the regiments, are all old teams of the Eastern Palace. I am afraid that the imperial edict will not be able to do anything in Zhechong Prefecture in Jingzhou at this time.

Chen Ying was very calm. In any case, Li Jiancheng did not do anything at all. At least he retained the position of the brigade coach of the Jingyang Township Yongs Regiment as the official officer of the team. Chen Ying could have fulfilled his promise. Qin Gu's four sons, except for the fourth son Qin Ziyong, were killed in the battle, and the other three sons were all named the seventh-rank brigade coach.

On the third day of the eighth month of the first year of Wude, more than 260 people from the Qin Palace and Princess Pingyang led by Princess Pingyang and Princess Pingyang's personal guards returned to Chang'an.

Chen Ying looked at him and lay on an open-top carriage. The carriage was filled with the rituals sent by Qin Gu and other gentry in Jingyang County. If it weren't for Chen Ying, Jingyang might have been slaughtered by Zong Luohu like in history, with more than 20,000 people, and only more than 700 people left to survive.

Although Qin Gu died one son, he had four sons left, three of whom became a seventh-rank military officer, and the Qin family in Jingyang also became a prominent family. Qin Gu was very generous to Chen Ying, not only gave him one hundred Shu brocades, but also gave him two hundred silver quotations, not only about one thousand taels.

During the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were not circulating currency, but as precious metals, silver could be traded in bulk goods. These silver was given to Chen Ying by Qin Gu to purchase a house in Chang'an. One thousand taels of silver, which was equivalent to one thousand guan. You could buy a three-entry courtyard in Chang'an City.

Chen Ying looked back at Jingyang City, with a deep look of doubt on his face.

"Are you reluctant to leave Jingyang?" Ma Sanbao rode his horse to Chen Ying's carriage and joked: "There is still a lover of General Chen in the city?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning smiled, and a trace of undetectable worry appeared between her eyebrows.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about why Xue Renguo suddenly withdrew his troops. I haven't figured out this question yet!"

Ma Sanbao said: "What's so unpredictable about this? Maybe Xue Renguo's wife ran away with him, and he was in a hurry to go back..."

Chen Ying suddenly sat up and shouted: "I understand that something big must have happened in Xi Qin, which forced the prince of Xi Qin to return to the pseudo-duty to sit in the formation!"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Ying said: "Unless Xue Ju, the lord of the Western Qin Kingdom, is sick or dead, he, Xue Renguo, will go back to ascend the throne..."

"It's really God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xiuning said: "It must be Xue Ju's serious illness. Xue Renguo was worried that his brother Xue Renyue would take the opportunity to seize the throne, so he couldn't wait to return to Jincheng (now Lanzhou!) to defeat Western Qin. It's ripe. Come back to Chang'an!"

Li Xiuning pulled up his horse's buttocks and galloped forward like a gust of wind. Ma Sanbao and other cavalry followed closely behind. More than 200 infantry and Chen Ying were covered in dust and smoke.
