Chapter Eleven The Worst Torture
In the study in the backyard of the Lingzhou General Administration, Chen Ying gently closed the newspaper. He was having a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart. Although the battle of Jinzhou thousands of miles away had nothing to do with Chen Ying himself, it was directly related to Li Jiancheng. If Li Jiancheng could not quickly recover Taiyuan, it would be a big blow to Li Jiancheng's prestige. If Li Shimin gained power, it is unknown how fierce Li Shimin would be against Li Jiancheng. However, as the popular himself, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Whether Chen Ying is for repaying kindness or self-protection, he cannot remain indifferent to the truth or reason. Chen Ying is considering how to maximize the benefits, and he wonders if there is a way to get benefits from it.
I don’t know what Shiliffes thought of it. The Turkic army that invaded Jinzhou now has more than tens of thousands of troops. All these Turkic soldiers and horses were led by Asuna Shiliffes’ younger brother Yehu Khan Ashinadu, and rushed in Bingzhou, burning, killing and looting.
Even if Chen Ying didn't think about it with his head and his knees, he knew that the Turkic Mobei would definitely be empty at this time. If he took advantage of the main force of the Turkic people moving south and attacked Mobei, he would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Lingzhou army alone, and he would definitely get unexpected results.
At this time, Chen Ying had nearly 20,000 troops, but in charge of Lingzhou's defense, the troops he could draw were only more than 9,000 light cavalry in the Lingwu Army and more than 1,800 cavalry in the Dingyuan Army. The other 9,000 infantry needed to defend Lingzhou. If Chen Ying wanted to use more than 1,000 cavalry to occupy the entire northern Mobei, it would be a bullshit, but if he used more than 1,000 cavalry to rob the desert, he would definitely be able to return with a full load.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt heartbroken.
"Did it!" Chen Ying smashed the table with a punch and shouted loudly: "Come here, please click the drum and gather the general!"
As the sound of thick war drums floated over Lingzhou City, what surprised Chen Ying the most was that the first person to arrive at this time was not the most well-trained Yuanxun's mansion, now the third Zhechong Mansion of Dingyuan Army, but the commander of the Liuzhechong Mansion, including Yu Guni of the Lingwu Army, and the deputy commander of the Twelve Guoyi.
Seeing Yu Guni leading the Lingwu Army soldiers to the Lingzhou General Administration Hall as soon as possible, Chen Ying stepped forward and patted Yu Guni on the shoulder and said, "It is as fast as the wind, its rush is as slow as the forest, its rush is as fire as the fire, and it is as motionless as the mountain. It is said that it is not easy for the Lingwu Army to be as fast as the wind!"
Yu Guni was praised by Chen Ying and felt so much that she wanted to cry. This was the first time Chen Ying expressed satisfaction with him.
When he heard Chen Ying praise Yu Guni without hesitation, Xu Jingzong said disapprovingly: "No, no!"
Chen Ying said curiously: "What's wrong?"
Yu Guni has made great progress now. He heard that Xu Jingzong was dissatisfied with him. Yu Guni had red eyes, like a beast, and wanted to tear Xu Jingzong apart. However, Xu Jingzong seemed to have not seen Yu Guni had reached the verge of going wild, nor did he see Yu Guni's terrible light like a man-eating person. Xu Jingzong said lightly: "The Lingwu Army is mostly Turkic!" |
"Well, so what?" Chen Ying said in confusion: "This shows that the soldiers of the Lingwu Army probably want to make contributions."
Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Maybe there is a reason, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they are escaping a torture, a torture that is ten times more painful than the enemy's desperate efforts on the battlefield..."
Luo Shixin happened to come in and said, "What's the hardship of torture on the battlefield?"
"Xu Jingzong said: "It's just learning Tang Yan."
Chen Ying suddenly realized that the complex and twilight Tang Yan was indeed a torture for the Turks.
Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Didn't the general manager notice that Tang Yan is very difficult to learn for them? Not to mention anything else, it is just the expression of Yu Gu Niluo Wu, which is like cutting his neck with a knife."
Luo Shixin was a little stunned when he heard this. Perhaps it was because of his childhood contact, or perhaps he did not think that speaking was difficult to learn, but literacy was very difficult for Luo Shixin. Even though he was very attentive, Luo Shixin would practice the big words for an hour every day, but writing the three words Luo Shixin, the ones he had named his own name, was still terrible.
Chen Ying showed a playful smile on his face.
Zhang Huaiwei looked at Chen Ying with a strange smile and asked in confusion: "Master, what's the matter so happy?"
"I thought of a scene, hahahaha..." Chen Ying was so angry that he was so happy that he was so angry.
Xu Jingzong also felt inexplicably strange and couldn't help but ask: "What scene?"
"I want everyone on this land to bite the muffle and learn Tang Yan!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "I'm going to beat him up, Tang Tang is lying on a hot bed... Haha. Haha, although I'm so painful that I want to saw my neck, I still have to hang my head and sting my head and prick the thighs to learn that scene. It must be spectacular and tight! Thinking of this, I feel so happy. Xu Zongjun, recorded the order, everyone in Lingzhou must learn Tang Yan!"
Xu Jingzong said: "I'm afraid those people won't go to study!"
Chen Ying said: "They know how to learn. If they don't talk about Tang Yan, they will say a word of the word "trumpet" and a fine for a penny. As long as they have money, they can continue to speak "runa"!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"This is OK!"
"Of course it's OK!" Chen Ying said lightly: "Putting money is not the purpose, it is undeniable that fines are an effective solution!"
Seeing the generals arrive one after another, and their efficiency is significantly improved a lot than before. Learning Tang Yan is a torture for the soldiers of the Lingwu Army, mainly Turkic people, which is more miserable than going to the battlefield. However, the so-called blind literacy for these soldiers who are used to holding the hilt of the knife, holding the pen will cost their lives.
Chen Ying understood that it was precisely because of the learning tasks, whether it was soldiers or generals, that everyone wanted to be freed from this quagmire. When Chen Ying proposed to take advantage of the Turks' idea of robbing the north of the Mobei, the generals had almost no hesitation and all expressed unconditional obedience.
Although the generals had no objection, Xu Jingzong raised an objection: "If the army leaves Lingzhou and goes to Mobei, if it crosses Hebei from Suoqiao Ferry (the ancient ferry crossing of the Yellow River Hetao River), the entire army marched nearly two thousand miles, how can we ensure the supply of the army?"
Even all cavalrymen actually need supplies. First of all, war horses need to be fodder-free, otherwise the war horses will lose weight and will kill the horses. It is definitely not possible to just let the horses eat grass.
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "We can support the war by fighting and eat from the enemy!"
Zhang Shigui said: "If this is the case, then the actions of the army will definitely be discovered by the Turks and lose their suddenness. If the Turks use the tricks and lead us deeper, and then encircle them with large troops, and cut off our return path, our army will be attacked from both sides!"
Chen Ying was also considering this issue. He found that military operations should not be too naive. Although the plan was good, it was not executable.
Chen Ying said: "Then how can we relieve the pressure in Jinzhou?"
