Chapter 88 Support Lingzhou

When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly winked at Hou Junji without waiting for Chen Ying to react. He took a fancy to Luo Shixin and Kan Ling, and was about to win over the two of them to join him. Chai Shao would never allow him to disrupt the situation at this time.

Changsun Wuji cannot hold Chai Shao, which does not mean that Hou Junji cannot hold Chai Shao. Hou Junji is now one of the few masters of the Qin Palace. After this little episode, Li Shimin and Luo Shixin exchanged cups and drank together.

Chen Ying was naturally unwilling to make a wedding dress for Li Shimin himself. Whenever Li Shimin asked for help, he would deliberately uncover the topic by Chen Ying.

"Brother Kan, why are you here in Chang'an?"

In fact, Li Shimin wanted to know the answer that Chen Ying asked. Kan Ling was Du Fuwei's adopted son. When Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, Yuan Wendu and others who stayed in Luoyang also supported King Yang Tong of Yue ascended the throne, and were also Emperor Tai. Du Fuwei praised Yang Tong and was named King of Chu by Yang Tong and was the chief general of the host. Li Shimin thought to himself, could it be that Wang Shichong would not allow Du Fuwei and had a feud with Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei also intended to join Tang to attack Zheng? In fact, Li Shimin guessed that it was almost impossible to match the speculation.

Kan Ling hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke: "Master-in-law asked me to come to Chang'an..."

Yang Tong was a puppet in Wang Shichong's hands. Just after Wang Shichong defeated his old enemy Li Mi, his power expanded and his ambitions also expanded. At this time, he wanted to unify all the hills of the Sui Dynasty, so Du Fuwei, who controlled the eight counties of Jianghuai and had more than 100,000 troops, became a thorn in Wang Shichong's eyes. As a puppet, Yang Tong had to make an order to let Du Fuwei enter Luoyang to meet him according to Wang Shichong's wishes.

When Du Fuwei received Yang Tong's imperial edict, he immediately felt the murderous intent hidden in the imperial edict. As long as he went to the territory of King Shichong of Luoyang, he would definitely become a hostage. The Jianghuai army would have no surnames from then on. Du Fuwei discussed with Fu Gongyou and decided to make preparations.

While he was hypocritical and serfed with Wang Shichong who was giving orders under the banner of Yang Tong, he sent Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan to Chang'an to join forces with Tang to attack Zheng. After Kan Ling came to Chang'an, he met Chen Ying's reeling table. Based on the principle that he was not taking advantage of it, he brought the members of the mission to eat and drink.

When he saw Luo Shixin provoking, he couldn't help but take action.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. With the east, Wagang and Limi cooperation, and the southeast, Du Fuwei of Jianghuai, the three families joined forces to attack Wang Shichong, and the matter was halfway. Once Luoyang was occupied, the strategic security of the Tang Dynasty could be greatly changed.

Li Shimin could see that Wei Zheng was not fake to him. With Li Shimin's head, it was easy to think of it. For people like Wei Zheng, the indescribable King of Qin actually had no at all attraction.

As a first-rank prince, the things that the King of Qin could give Wei Zheng were really limited. He only had the power to appoint officials below the fifth rank. However, once labeled as the King of Qin's Mansion, it would not only not help, but a fatal obstacle for his future career.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no comparison with the late Tang Dynasty. Only the prince had the power to establish the government and build the yamen. The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts. As long as he had enough merits, he could get rewards. Now he was the Minister of Shang, and his official position was no longer promoted. He was already a first-rank prince, and his title was also no longer promoted. So he had meritorious but had to be rewarded. Only by rewarding him with the power to establish the government and build the yamen. As long as he had the power to establish the government and build the yamen, he could openly recruit civil and military officials. At that time, he could slowly accumulate capital that was relatively short of money with Li Jiancheng.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't sit still.

Recruiting ten or eight Luo Shixins is just an extra general who can fight for the Qin Palace. The courage of a man is a man, and private competition is of some use. The role it can play is very limited in the process of confrontation between the two armies. Even if you practice martial arts to the extreme, facing the charge of the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, you will have to escape in a panic.

The most important thing now is to fight for the power to command the troops to attack Wang Shichong. Once Wang Shichong is defeated, he can establish his own team.

"General Chen, I still have some trivial matters, so I won't bother you in your house!"

Li Shimin said goodbye to Chen Ying, and Chen Yingzheng wanted Li Shimin to leave quickly. However, Chen Ying also did a solid job in his face and repeatedly sincerely tried to keep him.

After the Qin King Li Shimin and the Qin King's Mansion left, Chen Ying and Luo Shixin and Kan Ling's mood were not affected and they were still drinking happily.

Chen Ying didn't know what Li Jiancheng had discussed with Wei Zheng in the backyard, and was not interested in knowing. However, when Wei Zheng was following Li Jiancheng away, there was an unconcealed joy between his eyebrows and eyes, Chen Ying naturally guessed that Wei Zheng's mission should have been completed well.

After Luo Shixin and Kan Ling said goodbye to Chen Ying one after another, Li Jiancheng did not leave immediately, but pulled Chen Yinggu to talk about other things, and talked about it all over. It was not until Chen Ying's patience was almost exhausted that Li Jiancheng asked Chen Ying in a concealed manner: "General Chen, what do you think of the Turks?"

"If you are not a person of my race, your heart will be different!"

After saying that, Chen Ying immediately regretted it. Then he remembered that the Li family of Li Tang actually had Xianbei blood. According to the "New Book of Tang Dynasty Genealogy List", Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu had a brother named Qitou, a brother named Qidou, and Li Qitou's son was named Bodhidou, and the ancestors of Li Tang were called Li Chuguba during the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, Xianbei blood. Moreover, Li Shimin's biological mother Dou and Li Shimin's wife Changsun Wugui were both Xianbei nobles.

However, Chen Ying's concern seemed to be redundant. Li Jiancheng did not care whether Chen Ying's words were biased. Li Jiancheng nodded undeniably and said, "Yes, the Turkic wolf ambitions have been invaded three times since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no support from the Turks, what's the point of Liang Shidu? General Chen and Ruoer's troops will have difficulty supporting Lingzhou for a few days?"

"Lingzhou?" Although Chen Ying didn't know where Lingzhou was, he knew that Lingzhou was in Ningxia in later generations. It was at least 2,000 miles from Ningxia to Xi'an, and the mountain road was rugged. Even the train took more than ten hours. In the Qinling Mountains, the train could not speed up.

"This... I don't know!" Chen Ying said with a tough head: "There are unexpected situations in the world. There are more than 2,000 people along the way, and there are too many unpredictable factors."

"Yes!" Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Lingzhou is far away and the road is inconvenient, but the situation in Lingzhou is now critical. If there is no support, Lingzhou will suffer a lot. But if it is to support Lingzhou, it is not easy to block the road after heavy snow."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it is actually not impossible to support Lingzhou. If there are abundant supplies, I am sure to lead my troops to Lingzhou within one month!"
