Chapter 178: The child who can call her has milk

"Summon all the leaders of Bashu to recruit and apply, and recommend and promote them to the outside world, while the inside is to take them as a qualifier..." In the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, Li Yuan was covered in spring breeze. In front of him was the "Ping Xiao Xiance" written by Li Xiaogong. Of course, as long as anyone familiar with Li Jing, he would see at a glance that there were too many traces of Li Jing in Li Xiaogong's Ping Xiao Ce.

Although the Tang Dynasty suffered a defeat in Luoyang, Li Yuan was not worried. There was a danger in Hangu Pass, even if the six Kanto countries joined forces with one million troops, they could not conquer it. As long as Li Shimin led the army back, the Tang Dynasty would focus on Badong, first destroy Xiao Xian, and then join forces with Du Fuwei to attack Lin Shihong. As long as Lin Shihong was destroyed, the entire Jiangnan could be determined.

At that time, Wang Shichong will be surrounded by the north and west sides of the Tang Dynasty and will definitely lose sight of one thing.

Li Yuan appointed Li Xiaogong as the general manager of Xinzhou without hesitation, and Li Jing was appointed as the chief minister of Xinzhou General Manager and the chief officer of Xinzhou General Manager. He promoted Li Xiaogong to be the king and the title of Zhao County. He changed Xinzhou to Kuizhou. He built a large ship to teach soldiers to fight water and prepare to attack Xiao Xian.

Unifying the world and creating the Tang Dynasty's Li family unifying the country for generations. What a remarkable military achievement! With such military achievements, at least in history books, it is comparable to that of Guangwu of Han. Li Yuan was happy. Feng Deyi walked in in a very embarrassed manner, kneeling at him, shouting: "Your Majesty, please punish the old minister..."

Li Yuan hurriedly looked at Feng Deyi and found that his official boots actually showed his toes, his eyes were covered with red blood, his hair was messy, and his body emitted a strong sour smell.

Li Yuan was startled when he saw this scene and hurriedly said, "Deyi, you are..."

Feng Deyi said aggrievedly: "I am following the order of Your Majesty to go to Luoyang to announce the secret order. However, His Highness of Qin refused to obey the orders of the general outside the country, and said... He said... He would not return the army if he did not take Luoyang!"

Feng Deyi learned that Li Shimin was firm in his attitude, but did not persuade him, but returned to Chang'an overnight in the rain. You should know that Luoyang is more than 700 miles away from Chang'an. If it were an hour and a half from the high-speed rail in later generations, Feng Deyi ran for two nights and a day before he arrived in Chang'an.

Li Yuan looked at Feng Deyi suspiciously and said, "Is this actually the case? The King of Qin is too bold, right?"

Pei Ji frowned slightly and said, "Is the information in advance not accurate? The King of Qin was just a small blow in Luoyang? The King of Qin still has the power to fight again?"

Pei Ji thought that this was the only situation. Li Shimin was unwilling to give up on victory and would definitely dare to disobey his orders. Li Shimin was Li Yuan's son. Even if he disobeyed, Li Yuan would not kill him. It was amazing that he would be dismissed from office and title. Just like Li Yuanji's death of Longxing Land in Taiyuan, he was enough to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. However, Li Yuanji had only been a commoner for three months and had regained his title and won the third-rank champion general (this is a honorary official in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no fixed number).

Feng Deyi shook his head and said, "It is definitely not a small defeat, but a great defeat. His Highness the King of Qin has a large army of 150,000. Now there are less than 50,000 people in the Beimeng camp. He suffered heavy losses in war horses, armor, food and fodder."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart sank. The smile on his face was empty and he asked coldly: "What does the King of Qin want to do?"

Feng Deyi pondered: "But..."

"But what?" Li Yuan asked.

Feng Deyi said: "However, the champion general Chen Ying, along with Princess Pingyang, King Yuanji of Qi, Qin, Cheng, Luo, Hou and other generals, won a big victory in Luoyang a few days ago, defeated the strong with the weak, and wiped out more than 20,000 troops under the command of King Jialu Zhu Can, beheaded more than 8,000, captured more than 13,000 people, and captured Zhu Can alive!"

"Captain Zhu Can alive?" Li Yuan said in surprise: "Why didn't I receive the good news?"

Feng Deyi took the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful and said, "I came back from Beimeng Camp and worked all the way. I think it would be faster than the messenger."

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in with small steps and bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, An Xing, the military envoy of Henan Prefecture, asked for a visit!"

Hearing the news that Feng Deyi returned to Beijing overnight, he was no more nervous than An Xing, Henan Prefecture. As long as he was a eunuch, he had a common hobby, that is, he liked money. An Xing, the commander of the Henan Prefecture Guanjunying, was no exception. Chen Ying promised him that he would just deposit his money into the Tongli Money House in the Tang Dynasty and give him 10% of the annual interest, which was the highest treatment for Tongli Money House. In other words, 10,000 guan of interest per year. When An Xing saw that it was profitable, he threw all his capital into the Tongli Money House in the Tang Dynasty. It was a full 65,000 guan.

It is precisely because Chen Ying's interests are directly related to his income. If Chen Ying was bitten by Feng Deyi, although as Chen Ying's identity at this time, he would not be beheaded as long as he did not rebel, once Chen Ying became an official and dismissed from his title, Chen Ying would be unable to protect Tongli Money House, and his pension money would be ruined.

When An Xing asked Chen Ying to return to Chang'an, Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "What a big deal, do you need to be so nervous?"

An Xing was urged to vomit blood. He was so anxious that Chen Ying, the person involved, did not take it seriously. He finally knew what the emperor was, and the eunuch was anxious! Although it was the idea of ​​King Li Shimin of Qin to refuse to withdraw this time, Feng Deyi dared to bite the King of Qin? The harm was more minor, and he must be aimed at Chen Ying.

Of course, Anxin is purely a judge of a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain. Although Feng Deyi was sloppy, he knew that Li Shimin was not easy to mess with, but Chen Ying was also not easy to mess with. Chen Ying was not alone. Hou Mo Chen's family stood behind him. As time went by, especially Hou Mo Chenxu returned from Lingnan. Although Hou Mo Chenxu was secretly dealing with things, the major aristocratic families in Chang'an got some news.

Guizhou and other 17 states, including the 13 caves and 183 villages, headed by the Hou Mo Chen clan. Once they get into evil with Hou Mo Chen clan, Hou Mo Chen clan will send some dead soldiers here. If you can't kill you, you will be disgusted to death.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's disciple, and he is also one of the most popular disciples in the East Palace. In terms of closeness and alienation, Chen Ying can now rank among the top three in the East Palace. Once he offended Chen Ying, he will not only have to bear the revenge of Hou Mo Chen's clan, but also have to bear the anger from the East Palace. This is simply because the birthday boy hangs himself and his life is long.

Li Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he waved his hand and said, "Xuan Anxing goes to the palace!"

As soon as An Xing entered the hall, everyone frowned. If Feng Deyi was just embarrassed, then An Xing should be miserable. His face was blue and white, his lips were chapped. Although his clothes were temporarily wiped, there were still many spots of mud. He was extremely embarrassed. He was not as sad as a military commander, and he was even worse than a beggar!

An Xing hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan frowned and asked, "How could you make you so embarrassed?"

An Xing trembled all over and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I have important military information to report, so I rode a horse to face the wind and rain, and rushed back to the capital from Beimang Mountain. I suffered a lot along the way, but it was of great importance, but I couldn't care!"

Li Yuan was even more moved. It seemed that An Xing, the military supervisor, was still very dedicated and responsible. He was already at the level of his life! He said with some emotion: "Military information is of course important, but you can't be too life-threatening. If you have anything to do, who will do my business for me?"

An Xing said: "I am trying to report good news to Your Majesty!"

"Where does the joy come from?" Li Yuan was really depressed. He lost half of the 150,000 troops, and he even made a fart joy come from.

An Xing said loudly: "The King of Qin misjudged Wang Shichong to escape and personally led the Xuanjia cavalry to pursue Wang Shichong. However, he was not prepared. At Longmen, he was surrounded by 50,000 or 60,000 troops of Wang Shichong. General Qu Tu was defeated by Wang Shiyun. The soldiers were either captured or killed. Seeing that the troops of His Highness of Qin were gradually killed, Wang Shichong's arrogance became increasingly arrogant. At this critical moment, General Chen resolutely led 5,000 Eastern Palace Yue Cavalry Army, resolutely reinforced Luoyang, fought bloody battles with Wang Shichong's troops, and killed the corpses. General Chen and the soldiers of Yue Cavalry Army of the Eastern Palace were determined to serve the country, bravely moving forward, and never succeeded. General Chen, General Luo Shixin, and General Zhang Shigui were the three important generals who led the army. The army was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. They defeated Wang Shichong at Longmen Mountain, and advanced rapidly to rescue His Highness of Qin..."

Although Li Yuan already knew the result, this peaceful word was so good. He was like a storyteller, who made the entire Battle of Longmen and the Battle of Beim in a turbulent manner. Li Yuan asked nervously: "What's next?"

"It's very miserable..." An Xingru said, "This battle was too miserable for our Tang Dynasty. Although the Beim camp was saved at the last moment, the soldiers suffered huge losses and their morale was low. At this time, the general of Wang Shichong, King Jialou, led more than 30,000 troops to provoke in front of the camp. There was no one on the left and right of His Highness the King of Qin, and only three regiments of the Yue cavalry under Chen Ying's army could barely fight..."

An Xing spoke very artistically. Zhu Can had only more than 20,000 troops, but he changed it slightly and added 10,000 people, which turned into 30,000. However, if there were more than 10,000 people, it would be the same if it was less than 10,000 people.

An Xing said with emotion and emotion, "...the formation kills more than 16,000 people..."

Just now, Feng Deyi jumped up and said, "What are more than 16,000 people? Aren't they beheading eight thousand?"

An Xing shouted Qu: "Your Majesty, all beheadings were investigated by Wen Zhengmingwen, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and Qu Tutong, the Minister of War, was present. If I had a word to tell a lie, I would let thousands of arrows pierce my heart and would not die well..."

Li Yuan glared at Feng Deyi fiercely, and Feng Deyi shrank his head and stopped talking.

An Xingchong Feng Deyi looked at him with provocative eyes, which made Feng Deyi so angry that he vomited blood.

"The sword is swinging like flying, and the people and horses are broken. The enemy army dares to be cold, and Zhu Can dares to be sharp and retreat in a panic. Our army's morale is greatly boosted, and the offensive becomes more and more fierce..." An Xing took an hour and a half to tell the whole story of the battle in Luoyang. The ministers in the entire hall were fascinated by hearing it.

Pei Ji stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said, "The iron cavalry is magnificent! I really want to witness the style of my Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry with my own eyes!"

At this moment, An Xing burst into tears, tears and snot flowing: "It's gone, it's gone, Pei Xiangguo can never see it anymore. This iron cavalry ran for more than 200 miles in just two and a half hours, and rushed to the enemy's formation twenty-one times. Even though the soldiers of the Zheng army were so scared that they were almost exhausted, the soldiers were exhausted!"

Li Yuan originally planned to let Li Shimin retreat to Guanzhong, but Guandong gave up everything, but when he heard An Xing's words, his head felt hot and he immediately said, "Isn't it just 15,000 war horses? I can still afford to lose."

Li Yuan turned around and looked at Pei Ji and asked, "Pei Jian, how many more war horses can Chang'an City draw now?"

"This..." Pei Ji felt something was wrong when he heard this. Didn't he agree to go south first and then north, why did he change his mind now? But Pei Ji's cleverness is that in public places, he would never contradict Li Yuan, but followed Li Yuan's words: "Report to your Majesty, there are currently 18,000 official horses in the two horse farms in Zhongnan Mountain and Shanglinyuan. If it is the private horses of the major families in Chang'an, there are more than 20,000."

The war horses of this era are actually like private cars in later generations. Poor families are full, not to mention war horses that require a full twenty stone of food a year. However, for the aristocratic families, these twenty stones of food are simply like children peeing and drizzling, not worth a day. Just like Pei Ji, he owns more than five hundred war horses at home, and of course these war horses are not all raised in Chang'an City, most of which are outside the city. However, Pei Ji knew that the private horses in the entire Chang'an people should be less than fifty thousand, and 20 thousand were conservatively estimated.
