Chapter 106 Born to be rich and prosperous

On the banks of Shule River, the Tang army camp. Chen Ying ordered the reward of the three armies, but he was happy. Even the wine was open, Chen Ying walked to Ashinasmo, picked up a jar of wine, and tilted his head to drink it.

Looking at everyone's happy appearance, Chen Ying laughed silently: "Why are you all so happy with my son?"

"Of course I'm happy!" Asunasmo said: "For the sake of his son, and he is the legitimate son recognized by the court. As long as he is over a hundred years old (almost a hundred days), the Ministry of Rites of the court will definitely sign him the Prince of Liang. The soldiers, including me, can also feel at ease!"

"Safe..." Chen Ying heard this and then remembered that this time was not later generations, and in the feudal era, she was focused on hereditary, one day, and lifelong. Even if the master died, their descendants were also servants of Chen Ying's son, just like Guo Luo, Zhou Chengdong, Sun Jingchu, Yu Qing and others. Their fathers were loyal to Hou Mo Chen, and they would also be loyal to Hou Mo Chen, and their descendants would be so close to each other in the future.

As long as a family has inheritance, it will truly begin to rise.

Luo Shixin came to Chen Ying drunk and smiled, "Brother Chen, it seems that we have no plans to return Jin Man for the time being?"

As he said that, Luo Shixin pointed to the bank of Shule River and made of soil, which was built with a permanent military camp. A permanent military camp was much more labor-intensive than an ordinary combat camp. A war camp can usually be completed within one and a half hours or two hours, but a permanent military camp may not be completed in one month.

Chen Ying picked up a branch from the ground and drew a map on it. Now, Chen Ying is located in Ganzhou. This location is in a triangle area, more than 1,600 miles from Dafeichuan, more than 1,800 miles from Yiwu, more than 2,700 miles from Jinman, and more than 600 miles from Liangzhou.

While drawing a map, Chen Ying explained: "The Western Regions are about to usher in a terrible bloody storm, and our army is very important. Once we return to the Western Regions, the Tubo people will inevitably attack Liangzhou, but Liangzhou does not have enough strength to protect itself. Of course, more importantly, the layout of the Western Regions is almost inflamed!"

Luo Shixin nodded without understanding.

In fact, he was not very clear about Chen Ying's layout.

It is not difficult to conquer the Western Regions because all the tribes of the Western Regions are fence-bearers, but it is very difficult to manage the Western Regions, because these tribes have one characteristic, that is, they are unruly and unwilling to be bound by the law. If these hidden dangers are not cured, Chen Ying will have no way to continue attacking the Western Regions.

Therefore, Chen Ying had to use Murong Fuyun's hand to capture all the hostile forces in the Western Regions in one fell swoop. As long as these hostile forces were eliminated, Chen Ying could boldly manage the Western Regions and make the Western Regions a springboard for his Western Expedition.

As long as people from later generations, they will definitely find that the Western Regions are actually a treasure land. Whether it is farming or natural resources, the grain output in Changji, Yili, and Urumqi areas in later Xinjiang regions exceeded 10 million tons.

Even if the food in this era is only one-fifth of that in later generations, if the land in later generations is reclaimed under severe desertification, Chen Ying could harvest at least 30 million stones of grain in a corner of the Western Regions and supply more than 500,000 troops.

The first person to feel the bloody storm was the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, as well as the Han people in the Western Regions who danced on the tip of the knife. The Han people in the Western Regions were actually ethnic minorities, of course, just relative. These people who were very sensitive to war quickly smelled an abnormal smell.

Duan Zhigan issued an order to seize grain in the entire army. As a result, more than 30,000 new Hebei troops joined the ranks of rushing to collect grain.

The characteristic of the Western Regions is that it is large and endless grain fields. This kind of scene is rare in the Central Plains. Countless men, women, young and old all act together. Cut the wheat off and put it directly into a huge wooden barrel. The tall wooden drum device is connected to a rotating shaft through a strange machinery. Two or three donkeys pull the shaft and rotate constantly, and the drum also rotates. There are bursts of metal friction and scraping sounds inside. The shaft of the wooden barrel is a wooden stick wrapped in an iron sheet in a key part. When the roller rotates, the shaft does not rotate accordingly.

This is a threshing machine developed from Xiuli's livestock mixer. In this way, the harvested grain can be threshed directly in the fields, without having to repeatedly roll and press it with stone roll and press it repeatedly like in the past. The stone roll and roll and press it repeatedly, which is too slow. Even if it is a horse, it can actually thresh one or two thousand kilograms of grain. However, using a threshing machine, three animals can thresh tens of thousands of kilograms a day.

For labor, each nation may have different endurance, but for harvest, each nation will work the same hard work.

Chen Ying gave Duan Zhigan very harsh orders. If a grain of wheat is left in the field or is stolen by the Tuyuhun people, he will wait for the fat land!

The mixer used when building the road was modified and turned into a grain decompression machine. On the contrary, the one Duan Zhigan lacked the most was a war horse, mule, donkey and ox. Seeing a field and a field being harvested, Duan Zhigan felt relieved.

Except for Duan Zhigan's expectations, the Tuyuhun people did not make trouble, and the remnants of Gaochang State did not make trouble, which surprised Duan Zhigan very much.

The entire Western Region is on the crater, and I don’t know when it will break out.

However, the first one to erupt was not the Western Regions, but Hedong.

Li Shimin's troops were divided into three groups and rushed out of the Great Wall.

However, after leaving the Great Wall, Li Shimin felt something was wrong. He didn't even see a Turkic tribe. Except for the sporadic Turkic scouts, he had never encountered any enemy.

"Wuji, why did the Turks suddenly disappear?" Li Shimin's eyes were staring at the map, his eyebrows frowned.

Changsun Wuji smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into slits: "Our army is full of spirit and has excellent soldiers and armor. These are not secrets. The Turks are not idiots. They will definitely not face the enemy head-on."

Hou Junji said: "If I were to command, I would definitely hide the main force in the mountainous area of ​​Yeyin Mountain, waiting for you to attack from afar, and at the same time, I sent a large number of elite rangers to harass you, tired you, and wait until your physical strength and supplies are almost exhausted before you can go out to surround you!"

Li Shimin nodded, smacked his lips, and said, "There are strong walls and clear fields, and the ranger attacks, waiting for the effort to work. These routines are very familiar to the Turks. I don't know how many famous generals fell on these three axes."

At this moment, Fang Xuanling was silent for a while and suddenly said, "You are not unreasonable, but I don't think it's that simple. I always have a feeling that the Turks seemed to have known that we were going to go out to fight them, and they were prepared for it!"

Changsun Wuji was startled and exclaimed: "Xuanling, this joke cannot be made, it will kill people!"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Xuanling is really not a joke. There is a great crisis ahead. If we are not careful, we will be wiped out and smashed to pieces!"

When Li Shimin recalled the various situations he encountered since he went out of the frontier, he had to admit that Fang Xuanling's statement was reasonable. He hated him and said, "Which bastard is so crazy that he actually leaked such secrets to the Turks? I've chopped him!"

Changsun Wuji sneered: "Who else can there be except that group of people?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Wuji, you should not speak nonsense, without any evidence, you must take responsibility for saying this."

Fang Xuanling said: "Wuji is wrong, it cannot be them. You must know that this battle is not only our Qin Palace, but also the four guards in the East Palace. These four guards are the direct troops of His Royal Highness. Even if we cannot defeat the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry, we can still run. Most of the four guards are infantrymen. If they are surrounded, they will not even have a chance to run. It will not be beneficial for them to disclose this information."

李世民皱起眉头:“那到底是谁呢?”

Fang Xuanling suddenly showed a sudden look of enlightenment, but shook his head again.

When Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling's expression, he guessed what he thought of. Li Shimin asked: "Who is it?"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "The final layout and troops mobilization of His Highness Qin King have very limited people to know. Even General Qin and General Cheng and others only knew the news before sending troops. However, the Turks have retreated very cleanly, so they must have known this news very early."

Changsun Wuji's eyes were rounded: "Are you saying there are traitors among us?"

Hou Junji's knife was pulled out in an instant: "Who is it?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Does Your Highness the King of Qin still remember that a month ago, Wang Renbiao came to ask His Highness the King of Qin for pleading for Princess Tong'an?"

Li Shimin vaguely remembered something. At that time, the sand table in his room was not built up. It was not until Wang Renbiao entered the room that Li Shimin built up. If he had a good memory, he could see all the arrangements at a glance.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who it is, I will never let them go!"

Du Ruhui brows slightly and said, "The account must be settled, but what should we do now? We are now trapped in the mud, and as time goes by, it will only sink deeper and deeper. If we can't find a solution, this grassland will be our grave!"

Hou Junji scratched his head and said, "I really can't think of any way... The Turkic tactics are so rogue!"

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Robby? To deal with such rogue tactics, we can only use even more rogue tactics!"

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand, gestured quickly on the map, muttering to himself: "The temperature dropped rapidly before Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's winter must be even harder than last year. It was because the Turks saw this that they gathered a large army and tried to break the border and grab enough food to survive the winter... That's right, their purpose was to grab food! Our army launched a large-scale outbreak, disrupting their plans. They had to use the troops originally intended to use to break the border and grab food to deal with us! They strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, so that we could not find them, and could only consume supplies on the grassland for free. Of course, it was annoying, but they also let us hold back. They would never dare to attack the border easily before destroying us, because once they attacked the border, it would be equivalent to giving us a clear target and we could bite them!"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "So what? These damn rogues can always hide, not attack the frontier, and continue to waste time with us!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you still afraid that you can't afford to spend money with the Turks? Don't forget that the food in Hedong this year is more than three times more than last year. We will spend money with the Turks and see who can't consume it first."

Li Shimin nodded heavily and said, "Then let me waste it, notify Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, let them shrink their troops, lean on the Great Wall, and waste it with them to the end!"

...

When Li Xiuning received Chen Ying's letter, it was already mid-September in the fourth year of Wude. Of course, Chen Ying finally did not plagiarize four lines of poetry to replace his letters. He knew that the war was going to last for three months and his letters were worth ten thousand gold, and he wrote a long letter with Li Xiuning in plain language.

Thank you all over and the deep love. This made Li Xiuning read it more than ten times. Li Xiuning felt Chen Ying's love and Chen Ying's guilt from Chen Ying's letter.

In order to express his guilt towards Li Xiuning, Chen Ying decided to hand over the naming rights of his son to Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning put down the letter, hugged his son, and said intimately: "Your father has written to me. I'll give you a name. What should I call you?"

The little fat baby looked at Li Xiuning and only knew how to smile like a princess.

While teasing his son, Li Xiuning thought about what name his son should be named. Li Xiuning patted his forehead and said, "You will call him Vigor from now on?"

Just then, Li Jiancheng came from outside the door and asked curiously: "What mighty?"

Li Jiancheng naturally did not need to be rumored when he entered Chenjiabao. Their brother-sister relationship was very good, so he came in directly.

Li Xiuning raised her head and smiled and said, "How about my son's name is Weiwu?"

Li Jiancheng said laughing and crying: "This name is too cheesy!"

Li Xiuning patted her forehead and said, "What's the name?"

Li Jiancheng thought about it and reached out to take over the fat baby.

The nephew, the uncle, said this was right. When Li Jiancheng was holding Li Xiuning's son, the fat baby looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled, and even reached out to pull Li Jiancheng's beard.

Xiaopang was very strong and grinned Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng still did not look angry. He looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and said, "I am very strong and I will be another hero in the future!"

"Of course, this is my son, he must be a hero!" Li Xiuning smiled very proudly: "His father is the general of the country and the mother is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. He will definitely be blessed and noble in the future. Brother, how about you calling him Rong'er?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Not good, no good!"

Li Xiuning said: "This is not good, that is not good, so what name is good?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "A gentleman should use a gentleman to use a great river. It is better to take a name for a character. Humble, humbleness is inferior, and humbleness is to be respectful to maintain his position. Also, humbleness is the handle of virtue..."

Li Xiuning teased the little fat baby and smiled and said, "Did you hear it? Your uncle gave you a name, Qian'er, Qian'er, you will be called Hou Mo Chenqian in the future!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Brother, let's agree that my son must be the Duke of the Tang Dynasty who was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and he will live with the country!"

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the titles below the Duke of the State will be reduced. The son inherits the county duke, and the grandson inherits the county duke, and later he will be demoted to marquis.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "This is naturally. I can still treat my nephew badly. Don't worry, I will keep the position of the general of the country in the future. This is your credit and his destiny!"

Li Xiuning raised her head proudly: "Since it's fate, I have to fight for him for my mother."

In the past, Li Xiuning never considered his own interests, such as salary and Yongye Field. According to Chen Ying's title, he was the first-class Duke of Liang and should have 4,000 acres of Yongye Field, while Li Xiuning enjoyed the first-class prince and had 10,000 acres of Yongye Field. In fact, these rewards were just a blank check.
