Chapter 45: The hero swallows thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Western Regions (second update)

Waiting is the most painful thing. When Li Yuan was waiting for Chen Ying to arrive, he looked at his three sons sitting down from time to time. After looking at Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan felt that he was most afraid.

But when I saw Li Shimin, there was a deep disappointment in my eyes. Although Li Yuan's disappointment only flashed away, it was captured by the keen Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and he was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Compared with Chen Ying, he seems even more incompetent. The battle in Luoyang was made by Chen Ying to rescue the siege twice and three times. Chen Ying turned the tide again and again like the firefighter captain...

Li Shimin really wanted to lead troops to fight the Turks, not because of the dispute with Li Jiancheng. However, Li Shimin's passion was coldly treated.

Li Jiancheng disagreed, Xiao Yu disagreed, and Li Yuan also disagreed.

This made Li Shimin feel a little crying.

Finally, when the patience of the ministers was about to be exhausted, Chen Ying finally arrived.

Chen Ying originally thought that Li Yuan was just summoning him alone and was worried about Li Xiuning's health. However, he did not expect that there were dozens of ministers sitting in Liangyi Hall, and they were all ministerial-level bosses.

Chen Ying bowed to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and said, "My minister Chen Ying, pay homage to His Majesty, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Li Yuan was originally happy, but when he looked at Chen Ying's face, his eyes were swollen, and his steps were floating, Li Yuan didn't know that Chen Ying was overly indulging in lust! Li Yuan said with regret: "Young people should abstain from greed and cherish their bodies!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying was really embarrassed! Last night, she had a seven-degree bloom the night. Now Chen Ying's legs were floating. Chen Ying lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely pay attention to your health."

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying and his tone softened. Li Yuan introduced a panic to Liangzhou by tens of thousands of soldiers from the Western Turks, and then said: "Chen Qing, the ministers have different opinions on the siege of Liangzhou. Some people suggest reinforcements of Liangzhou, and some people are worried that Jie Li Khan will pour his troops south. What advice does Chen Qing have?"

Chen Ying's head turned sharply. In his memory, in the original historical time and space, the Western Turks did not attack the Tang Dynasty until their demise. But now, Chen Ying is not sure.

After all, history has become beyond recognition.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "My ministers, Chen Ying wants to ask you a question: If there are ten birds on the tree and one arrow is shot, how many will there be?"

"What?"

The ministers were confused. Even Li Yuan felt that Chen Ying was not mentally ill. The ministers present were the best among the people. Although most of them were not proficient in math, the fool also knew that if ten birds shot over and had an arrow, there should be nine more.

Li Yuan was about to say this when he suddenly realized that the question Chen Ying asked should not be so superficial.

Just as the ministers looked at Chen Ying with laughter and cry, Li Yuanji suddenly said, "The third brother-in-law's question is too unreasonable. Children all know that there are nine more..."

"No!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Your Highness King Qi is wrong!"

"What!" Li Yuanji glared: "Why is the Lone King wrong? One of the ten birds shot down, aren't there still nine birds?"

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, don't believe it. Just shoot an arrow. No matter how many birds there were on the tree, the birds were frightened after the strings rang!"

"Flying away!" Li Yuan suddenly realized. In fact, the answer in his heart was exactly the same as that in Li Yuanji. Fortunately, he didn't speak just now, otherwise he would be too embarrassed.

Li Jiancheng asked in confusion: "What Chen Qing means is that the siege of Liangzhou must support, and it also needs support at all costs?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise"! Chen Ying flattered at the right time. Chen Ying turned around and looked at the ministers and explained: "This is God bless the Tang Dynasty. I congratulate you on Your Majesty!"

Pei Ji looked at Chen Ying, as if he was looking at a fool, and said in confusion: "Is Chen's concubine hysterical? Liangzhou is surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Turks, and Liangzhou City is in danger. Once Liangzhou City falls, millions of people in the entire 19 states of Hexi may be slaughtered. How could this be the blessing of the Tang Dynasty?"

Chen Ying said: "What Pei Xiangguo said is that the current situation in Hexi is only between success, failure, life and death! This is the crisis of the Tang Dynasty and also the opportunity for our Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed, a bit like a fox's arc. His brain was running rapidly, and gradually he had an idea that slowly emerged in Li Jiancheng's head.

Chen Ying walked to the front of Liangyi Hall, in front of the huge map, and punched heavily on the position of Gaochang City in the Western Regions, and said loudly: "Originally, the Western Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. As the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom, our Tang Dynasty had no reason to invade the territory of the vassal states. However, at this time, the Western Turks invaded the superiors, which gave us this opportunity. Our Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts. Since Your Majesty raised the army, it has been attacking, attacking, and attacking again! Going south from Taiyuan, Your Majesty captured the land of Hedong, and Princess Pingyang attacked Guanzhong.

Later, the Xue family of the Western Qin attacked the Tang Dynasty. Our Tang Dynasty went from Jingyang to Dunhuang today, dominating the 19 states of Hexi, Liu Wuzhou attacked Taiyuan all the way, we marched north and occupied the current Heshuo, Wang Shichong invaded our Tang Dynasty Huaizhou, our Tang Dynasty guided us, and occupied the entire Central Plains. Dou Jiande invaded our Tang Dynasty. Now the 39 states of Hebei are all owned by the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Western Turks are from the west of Yangguan, west to the West Sea, and the vast areas of 12,000 miles east and west are all things in my Tang Dynasty!”

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "According to the words of Prince Chen, if the Tang Dynasty had been in the West at this moment, would it be that Hetao, Hedong, and Hebei would become scorched earth?"

If he had asked Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying would immediately answer at this moment, of course, he would not be able to bear the child and could not trap the wolf. However, in front of the civil and military ministers in the court, Chen Ying would not say this, because once he said this, it would mean that this strategic plan would be completely rejected.

The Western Regions were also said to be a waste of money for the important officials of the Tang Dynasty court. However, Chen Ying knew that the Western Regions were a Feng Shui treasure land, but it is no exaggeration to say that if the four Anxi towns during the Tang Dynasty could be preserved to this day, including today’s Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, Iran and Afghanistan, all belong to China, just oil and natural gas resources, China would be the world’s largest resource-rich country. I am afraid that the people’s use of oil and water is cheaper.

Unfortunately, the unworthy descendants did not defend the territory captured by their ancestors.

Chen Ying felt ache whenever he saw this scene in later generations. He had been to the Western Regions and knew that the Western Regions were definitely not a barren land. He also knew that the grain output in Xinjiang alone was as high as 14.53 million tons. Moreover, after thousands of years of evolution of the ecological environment, the ecological environment in Xinjiang has actually been seriously damaged. In fact, this problem can be seen from many place names in Xinjiang.

For example, the second largest desert in the country today, the Gurbantonggut Desert, is the place where wild boars appear in Mongolian. We all know that the Mongolians became the masters of the Western Regions in the 13th century. It can also be inferred that when Mongolia occupied Xinjiang, the Qaidam Basin was still a place where wild boars appear.

Chen Ying pointed to the northeast and said, "Pei Prime Minister, Xiao Prime Minister, Chen Prime Minister, and the Minister of the Constituent Minister. Do you think that Jie Li Khan would pour out his army and go south to attack Tang? Everyone, please think carefully. Will Jie Li Khan really dare to attack Tang, and will he wait until now? As early as when we were in fierce battle with Wang Shichong, he could have led a 300,000 army and headed south. At that time, we were at a loss. Now, he dared not, although I don't know Jie Li Khan,

What means did we use to deceive the Western Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty, but it is certain that once our Tang Dynasty defeated the invading enemy in Liangzhou, Jie Li Khan would be like a bird on a tree. No matter how many people he had, he would run as far as he could! If you think about it carefully, then you should understand that this time, our Tang Dynasty was in danger, but in fact, it had created a rare situation, an opportunity for us to enter the Western Regions just rightly!"

Chen Ying said: "This is a big bet for us. Although there are certain risks, will the Western Regions and the Buwei are also fighting here!"

When talking to smart people, there is no need to explain too much, or even say it all. If you can become a senior official at the Tang Dynasty, there is no fool. Chen Ying can see clearly. From the reactions of Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, Chen Ying knew that these people were already moved.

Since Emperor Wu of Han opened up the Western Regions, the Western Regions have been the inherent territory of China since ancient times, and the Tang Dynasty can also legitimately restore the Western Regions.

The Tang Dynasty was not the Ming and Qing dynasties. At this time, the passion of the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty was not cold.

The heroes swallowed the Western Regions and spread the power of all directions.

It was not only to rescue Liangzhou, but also to take the opportunity to occupy the entire Western Regions. It was the spirit of the Tang Dynasty to fight against the big ones with small ones, and to fight thousands of miles apart, and to become stronger the more they fight.

Li Yuan was also considering it. What Chen Ying said also makes sense. With Jie Li Khan's cautious nature, who was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the future, as long as the Tang Dynasty defeated the Western Turks in Liangzhou, the Eastern Turks would inevitably retreat and herd horses and mourn the north.

At this time, Xiao Yu was the first to stand up and said, "Mr. Chen is right, but how many soldiers do you need to escape Liangzhou? But...what if you lose?"

"I will not be defeated!" Chen Ying said firmly: "Your Majesty, I will give you 30,000 elite troops. At most one year, I will open the territory for Your Majesty to split the land, swallow the Western Regions, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"

Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and his heart was like a deer.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's eyes met in the air, and saw Li Jiancheng nodding affirmatively. Li Yuan said: "I will give you 50,000 troops..."
