Chapter 18 The Prince's Recruitment

In the bedroom of the Qin King's Mansion in the Great Wall City, Qin King Li Shimin was lying on a soft couch with his eyes slightly closed. An imperial physician over 50 years old, who was grey-bearded and grey-bearded, was carefully taking Li Shimin's pulse.

The imperial physician sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned.

The Qin Princess Changsun Wugui asked nervously: "Doctor Chen, King Qin... how is his illness?"

The imperial physician showed a look of surprise on his face, and his eyebrows were dancing and said in a deep thought: "Your Highness, the pulse of the King of Qin is steady and powerful, and there is no big deal!"

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Nobody!"

Although Changsun Wugui didn't understand medical skills, he listened to Li Shimin's speech and did not look like he was sick at all.

Li Shimin also felt a little out of control and pretended to cover his head: "Why did the Lone King feel sore and weak hands and feet, weak limbs, and have no appetite for many days... Insomnia and dreams."

The imperial physician looked at the dissatisfied Li Shimin in his eyes, and he didn't believe that Li Shimin had no appetite, not to mention that a sheep bone fell off the case in front of Li Shimin's bedside few times. The imperial physician said tremblingly: "This..."

Although Changsun Wugui didn't know why Li Shimin pretended to be sick, she knew that Li Shimin would only make things worse. Changsun Hougui got up and picked up a long-lived lock made of pure gold from the dressing box in front of the bed and handed it to the Qin Taidian.

"I heard that some days my eldest grandson will be a hundred years old (also a hundred days). I really can't get rid of my body, and the small gift is not respected!"

"How can you be so embarrassed?"

Although Doctor Qin said embarrassed, he was not embarrassed to take the hand of the long life lock.

Seeing the imperial doctor Qin accepting the golden lock, Changsun Wugui said, "Does the imperial doctor Qin know what to say?"

"I know... I know!" said the Qin Emperor: "Your Highness, the evil wind, invaded, it is difficult to get down to the ground, and it takes some time to rest..."

After the Qin Imperial Doctor Qin left, Changsun Wugui pouted his mouth and said unhappily: "Second brother, why do you pretend to be sick and scare the slave? Do you know how I got through these days? I can't eat or sleep."

"Guanyin maid, it's worrying!" Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "I have no choice. Qianshuiyuan has to have someone come forward to take on this responsibility."

Changsun Wugui said: "Didn't your father scold Liu Wenjing? I heard that he would have to stop his position! This responsibility will never fall on you!"

"The Guanyin maid doesn't know anything!" Li Shimin said: "Although the court has many complaints about Qianshuiyuan's defeat, this is not the most critical issue. The most critical thing is that there are voices inside and outside the court, and the court sends troops to counterattack Xue Ju of the Western Qin."

How smart Changsun Wugui is? After a little thought, he understood the reason why Li Shimin pretended to be sick. Li Shimin was beaten out of his heart by Xue Ju, and he did not dare to take charge of the command and fight against Western Qin again.

At this moment, Lei Yongji's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I have important matters to report!"

Li Shimin said: "Come in!"

Changsun Wugui was about to retreat with his maid, but Li Shimin said: "It's all his family, so it's okay to listen!"

"Is the news from Jingyang coming?" Li Shimin looked at Lei Yongji and said anxiously: "Is there news from Jingyang?"

"Report to Your Highness, news came from Jingyang!" Lei Yongji said: "The brothers who went to Jingyang with Princess Pingyang, and the news came back that Jingyang was guarded."

"Hold it?" Li Shimin said in surprise: "How is this possible? With the fifty defeated generals of the remnants of Jingyang, how could it be that Guan Yingyue has such great ability?"

Lei Yongji said: "It's not Guan Yingyue. This inferior guy saw Zong Luohu leading the attack. He abandoned the city and ran away without a single arrow. The Zong Luohu chopped off his head with one knife. With just one meeting, forty-three people died of fifty Tang soldiers. Finally, there was a Xinding named Chen Ying, who had a broken arrow hidden in his hand and approached Zong Luohu as a false surrender. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he captured Zong Luohu and forced the Western Qin army to put down his weapons. After the Western Qin army put down his weapons, Chen Ying led the people of Jingyang to wipe out more than 3,000 troops below Zong Luohu, and beheaded only more than 2,500 levels!"

"It's really God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Changsun Wugui was secretly shocked.

Li Shimin said: "Even if Zong Luohu is killed, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the Western Qin Dynasty. I am afraid that it will not give up? Sanniang defended Jingyang with only 500 soldiers?"

Lei Yongji said: "A day later, the prince of Western Qin Xue Renguo led more than 13,000 troops to the city of Jingyang. Chen Ying used the captured armor of the Western Qin army to form a Jingyang Township Yong Camp with more than 1,500 people. Chen Ying claimed to be the general manager of Jingyang and led the Jingyang Township Yong and Princess Pingyang and Xue Renguo to fight against Jingyang. Chen Ying was really vicious. He deliberately sent a messenger to pretend to surrender Xue Renguo. Chen Ying's messenger was really clumsy. Xue Renguo saw through Chen Ying's trick on the spot and ordered his general Yao Damu to attack Jingyang. Who would have thought that Chen Ying's fraud was fake, and that it was true to lure the Western Qin army into the city. Chen Ying dug in the city, and narrowed his eyes with raw ash. It took only half an hour to wipe out more than 3,000 Qiang wolf soldiers under Yao Damu..."

Li Shimin said: "This Chen Ying is really a talent!"

"Who said no!" Lei Yongji said: "This Chen Ying is not only good at war, but also very good at wisdom. Xue Renguo lost half of his troops in the attack on Jingyang and retreated unexpectedly. Chen Ying inferred that there was a major change in Western Qin, and Xue Ju was either seriously ill or dead... Sure enough, just now, Xue Ju was immediately crazy and Xue Renguo had ascended the throne of Western Qin!"

"How can such talents not be used by me?" Li Shimin said: "Xue Ju died so well. Xue Ju is dead, so Western Qin is not worth worrying. Lei Yongji, prepare for a carriage, I want to enter the palace!"

...

Chen Ying and others were too late for Princess Pingyang for a whole day. When the Chang'an city gate was about to close, they arrived at Jingyao's gate in the west city of Chang'an.

Before Chen Ying took a carriage to enter the checkpoint of the soldiers guarding the city, a man in blue came up and asked, "Do you dare to ask, General Chen Ying and Chen?"

"It's just a mere talent!" Chen Ying quickly jumped out of the carriage and bowed, "I wonder if you are?"

The man in green said, "Wei Ting from the East Palace, and is hereby welcome General Chen and his party with the order of the prince!"

Li Shimin took a fancy to Chen Ying's talent, and Li Jiancheng also took a fancy to Chen Ying's talent. In fact, it was Wei Ting's plan to lead Xue Wanche from the right hand of the Eastern Palace to the right hand of the Guard to the Zhechong Commander of Jingzhou.

Wei Ting actually took a more eye on Chen Ying's ability. This is a genius who can actually lead a group of mobs into tigers and can even fight with Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty. This is not only a talent, but as long as Chen Ying becomes a disciple of the Eastern Palace, he can slap Qin King Li Shimin hard.

Li Shimin led 150,000 elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, lost 100,000 soldiers, and suffered a great defeat. However, the Eastern Palace Gate could defeat the more with fewer defeats and defend Jingyang. Whoever is better and who is inferior will be clear at a glance.

Chen Ying didn't know the dirty things between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers. He was worried that there would be no place to stay. The guards of Princess Pingyang's Mansion, the guards of Prince Zhao's Mansion and the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion would naturally return to the various prefectures to report, but he, Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying didn't even have a place to stay.

Following Wei Ting in a daze, Chen Ying asked in confusion: "Mr. Wei, where are we going?"
