Chapter 214 Arrogant ambition

Shibi Khan Ashinadujishi had actually heard of Chen Yingliang's name before the war in Gan County, and also knew that Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Chen Yingliang to serve as the commander of the Sui Army's King-Supported King-Supported Nine Edicts with the same content using a driftwood edict. Four of them were washed to the shore by the river, and then were discovered by Turkic soldiers and sent to Shibi Khan. Therefore, Shibi Khan not only knew Chen Yingliang's name, but also had a certain understanding of Chen Yingliang through the captive civil and military officials of the Sui Army.

The information of Chen Yingliang learned from the Sui army captors once made Shibi Khan laugh loudly. The nineteen-year-old man was not even qualified to join the regular army of the Sui army's military. His fiancée, who was so poor that he was accused of marrying, forced to break off the engagement. Two years ago, he was lucky to seize the end of his journey and picked up a cheap and merit to the official position. He then followed the famous general Zhang Xutuo to pick up cheap and gain experience everywhere, and got the official position of an ambassador of a 12 counties in Henan Province. This time, he didn't know what luck he had. Emperor Yang of Sui, who was in the head, was named the commander of the King's General. When he encountered such an opponent with no experience, no qualifications, no family background, and no age experience, Shibi Khan really wanted to laugh.

The cruel fact quickly made Shibi Khan laugh. Less than two days after hearing the name of Chen Sangliang, the Turks in Wanxian, who were responsible for intercepting the Sui reinforcements, were defeated and were extremely miserable. The 50,000 Turkic army was defeated by the Sui army in a battle. Less than half of the army fled back to the Yanmen battlefield, lost all their food and supplies, and countless precious war horses. The reinforcements sent to reinforce the partial divisions in Wanxian were also suffered considerable losses. After receiving this news, Shibi Khan not only was extremely shocked, but also remembered the name Chen Sangliang forever, and never forgot them again.

While extremely shocked, Shibi Khan naturally had to summon the Asina association rate who fled back from Gan County in a panic to understand the incidents of this crushing defeat. What surprised Shibi Khan was that although the Sui army relied on a heavy rain to win, the number of troops was less than that of the Turkic army. At the same time, Chen Yingliang's command and dispatch were quite well organized. Even if he was sure to win, he did not launch a general attack rashly. He calmly left a very powerful reserve team to prevent it. This put out the Turkic hope for the final counterattack. After mastering these situations, Shibi Khan suddenly felt that he was increasingly unable to understand Chen Yingliang.

"Boy Chen Yingliang, did he lucky enough to defeat our Turkic army? Or did he defeat our Turkic army by virtue of his strength?"

Shibi Khan couldn't understand Chen Yingliang's point most. In this battle in Dongxian, did Chen Yingliang win by strength? Or did he encounter a sudden heavy rain and win by chance? Or did both? When summoning his subordinate Ashinachakar to discuss military affairs, a group of generals in charge of Turkic military affairs had different opinions. Some believed that the Sui army won by luck, some believed that the Sui army should not be underestimated, some believed that Chen Yingliang was not afraid, and some believed that Chen Yingliang should be careful about how to deal with the Sui army's tactical opinions on how to deal with the Sui army's joint forces were completely inconsistent. There were opinions on fighting, defense and suggestions before the Sui army's military and military forces, and there were even voices of advocating peace and retreat.

The key reason for the inconsistent opinions within the Turkic army was that the enemy was unclear. The decision-making level of the Turkic army currently did not know the specific number of troops of the Great Sui Kings and how many subsequent reinforcements, nor did they know the composition of the Sui Kings and Kings and how many infantry there were, who had the higher combat effectiveness, was it a mess or a group of tigers and wolves? The information of the head commander of the Sui army, Chen Yingliang, was pitifully poor, and even no Turkic person had seen what Chen Yingliang looked like. So after discussion, Shibi Khan made a relatively safe decision to temporarily stop attacking Yanmen City, and collect and grasp the specific situation of the Great Sui Kings and Kings and then decide how to act.

The way to collect and grasp the military information of the Sui army is nothing more than sending scouts to reconnaissance and spy, capturing and interrogating the Sui army captors. At the same time, Asuna, the only one in Ashina family who was not named Chashuo proposed a good idea and suggested: "Khan, this time we captured the thirty-nine cities of Yanmen, and captured a lot of Central Plains soldiers and their families. Why not choose a few, promise to release their families and give them rewards, and send them to infiltrate the Central Plains team to spy on our internal situation of the Central Plains army."

"That's the trick." Shibi Khan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent his confidants to act according to the situation and arranged some surrendered Sui troops who were captured by the whole family to go south to spy on the military situation of the Sui army.

In contrast to the main camp of Turkic forces, there was already a lot of joy in the area of ​​Dong County. The Sui army, which had previously been huddled in Xinkou, drove northward. According to Chen Yingliang's order, the camp was north of Dong County, preparing to launch a second phase of war. The Sui army in Dong County, who had been surrounded for nearly a month, also escaped from the cage under the leadership of Yang Nan, the second son of Emperor Yang of Sui, and came to Chen Yingliang to express their gratitude. Chen Yingliang led civil and military officials who served the kings to welcome Yang Nan in public, performed a courtesy to Yang Nan, and respectfully invited Yang Nan to the Central Army camp to hold a banquet for a banquet.

In fact, it was not the first time Chen Yingliang met with King Yang Nan of Qi. When Emperor Yang of Sui returned to Daxing, Chen Yingliang had once met Yang Nan in the carriage of Emperor Yang of Sui. At that time, Yang Nan was quite intimate with Chen Yingliang, who had just made great contributions to suppress Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Chen Yingliang followed the warning of Wei Xuan Shao's contact with his royal relatives. He also knew that Yang Nan was not a winner in history and deliberately kept a certain distance with Yang Nan, so he did not establish any friendship. And when he met again two years later, Yang Nan, who was very ambitious, was of course more intimate to Chen Yingliang, who was successful in the young, but Chen Yingliang was even more cautious and kept a distance more carefully, and did not dare to give any chance to catch a handle for those who were interested.

The most typical example happened during the banquet. In front of many civil and military officials, in order to show their importance and intimacy to Chen Yingliang, Yang Nan personally held a golden cup of wine in front of Chen Yingliang with the dignified King of Qi, and asked Chen Yingliang to drink it to express his gratitude to Chen Yingliang. However, Chen Yingliang didn't even dare to touch the golden wine glass, so he waved his hand and refused, explaining: "Your Highness, the Lord of Qi, it's not that the Lord of Qi, it's not that the Lord of Qi, does not accept your reward, but because the king's affairs are very important. The Lord of Qi has always been drinking for a while, so please forgive me. Your Lord of Qi must not drink your wine."

"Yes, Your Highness King Qi, please forgive me." Yuan Tiangang, who was making a big splash in the Battle of Dong County, said with a helping voice: "Since receiving the imperial edict for the king, Marshal Chen has always been silent in order not to make things wrong with drinking. Even at the banquet, Marshal Chen used water instead of wine. If His Highness doesn't believe it, he can check the wine pot in front of Marshal Chen. It is not wine, but clear water."

He picked up Chen Yingliang's mat with some surprise. He smelled it and found that it was indeed clear water. Yang Nan laughed and said, "No wonder his father wanted to send an imperial edict to the driftwood to appoint Deputy Envoy Chen as the commander-in-chief of the King's army. The Grand Marshal is indeed loyal. If my royal family of the Sui Dynasty has a loyal minister like Chen Dashi, why worry about not breaking the Turks and not breaking the siege of Yanmen? Well, since Chen Dashi does not drink, I will not force myself. I will drink this glass of wine for you."

After saying that, Yang Nan really drank the wine that was respected to Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang bowed to thank him. Yang Nan smiled and returned to the seat, then gave a wink to Pei Jie, the confidant next to him. Pei Jie, who served as the recording room in the Qi Palace, immediately held a gift box and stood up. He smiled in front of Chen Yingliang: "Master, the humble position Pei Jie, is also from Wenxi Pei, and is of the same clan and generation as your uncle, Duke Li..."

Before Pei Gai finished speaking, Chen Yingliang, who was tightly reporting the thighs of the Pei family, had already stood up and bowed to Pei Gai, saying that he was uncle. Pei Gai smiled and said that he did not dare to climb up. Then he raised the gift box in his hand and said with a smile: "Marrior Chen, this little gift was given to you by Wei Zhi and some colleagues from the Prince of Qi's Mansion. The purpose is very simple, to express his admiration for you. Please accept it, don't be polite."

He glanced at the gift box that was obviously a little lost, and then looked at Li Yuan who was silent from the corner of his eyes. Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Uncle Pei, since this is the kindness of you and all the seniors of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, if you don't accept it, you will be too disrespectful to you. Since that's the case, I can only be the reward of Uncle Xie."

Yang Nan smiled, Pei Gai laughed even happier, and hurriedly handed the gift box on it, but Chen Yingliang refused to take it, and just bowed to Pei Gai and said, "Uncle, your reward is accepted, but my nephew is daring, I want to ask my uncle to exchange this gift for money and grain on behalf of my nephew and transfer it to the families of the soldiers and soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty who died in order to protect Dong County. If these soldiers did not kill the enemy bravely and sacrificed for the country this time, how could the city of Dong County last until the nephew leads his army to rescue him? How could he protect His Highness the King of Qi? So my nephew dared to ask my uncle to transfer this gift to the families of these fallen soldiers to express his respect for them and also express his gratitude to them for their swearing to protect His Highness the King of Qi to the death."

Pei Gai and Yang Nan's smiles were frozen on their faces, while Li Yuan next to him was silent and cursed in his heart, "Little slippery head, it's really so cunning, and I don't leave any handle for me."

However, Chen Yingliang's kindness was not enough. Pei Qiao had to take back the precious gifts, but Yang Nan's confidants were reluctant to give up. With Yang Nan's hint, he mentioned Chen Yingliang's marriage issue and asked if Chen Yingliang had hired another good wife after being resigned by the Chai family. Then, Yang Nan's number one confidant Qiao Ling couldn't wait to take the initiative to say that he had two daughters, one big and one small. Although he could not compare with the ancient big Qiao and Xiao Qiao, he was still pretty. He asked Chen Yingliang to choose one as his wife casually.

Another woman came to the door. Chen Yingliang, who has been a magician since he ruined his distant niece on the banks of the Sishui River, was extremely moved. Unfortunately, even if Chen Yingliang wanted to accept one as a concubine regardless of the suspicion, he couldn't do it. Before Qiao Lingze finished speaking, his brother-in-law Changsun Wuji, who was next to him, had already stood up. While introducing his identity, he also explained that Chen Yingliang had already made a marriage with his sister, completely blocking the mouth of the King of Qi, and also made Li Yuan, who was at the same table, look a little ugly. Yang Nan slapped the face in the face in public and mentioned that Chen Yingliang was once dismissed by Li Yuan's son-in-law, who was dismissed by the poor and loved the rich, which clearly showed that Chen Yingliang was more important than Li Yuan. How could our Ambassador Li not sulk?

The relationship was accused of being in love, and the money and beauty together still could not make Chen Yingliang move closer. Yang Nan secretly hated Chen Sangliang's villain, while she had to temporarily die and win over Chen Yingliang's heart and change her goals to be fucked with other officials who served the king. As a result, she also achieved some results. Many civil and military officials with low official positions in order to get promoted and make money, and even to burn Yang Nan, the second son of Emperor Yang of Sui, had a very happy conversation with the King of Qi. Many people even called each other brothers and sisters to the officials of the King of Qi on the spot - including Li Jing, who had been eating and drinking sand in Mayi County for eleven years.

A small incident happened during the meal, that was, the subordinates of Yinshi Division suddenly reported the ban, saying that they found that Wang Renze, the general of the Jiangdu Wang Army, violated military law and secretly hid a purebred Ili horse (Kazakhstan) seized on the battlefield. They did not submit it in accordance with the military law and asked Chen Yingliang to deal with it. As a result, Chen Yingliang was not polite, nor did he give his cousin of the side wife any face. He asked the military law team under Yinshi Division to beat Wang Renze twenty military sticks on the spot, and then announced in public that he had made great contributions to killing the enemy on the first day.

Chen Yingliang's punishment and reward for Wang Renze was of course exchanged for the full house of cheers with clear rewards. Wang Renze, whose butt was opened, also received the crime and apologized for the rewards with the threat of his uncle Wang Shichong's eyes, and then limped back to the camp to apply medicine with the help of Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers. Seeing Wang Shichong's obviously pretended gentle smile and the vicious resentment in Wang Renze's eyes, Li Yuan, who had already found out that Chen Yingliang had put Wang Shichong's daughter Wang Xueji first and then bought tickets, was even more happy and said in his heart: "It seems that not only Yang Nan can use it, but Wang Shichong's family can also make great use of it."

Even if he didn't drink, Chen Yingliang did not dare to let the generals drink too much in his tent. The banquet lasted only for more than half an hour. Chen Yingliang ordered the banquet to part with the excuse of serving the king. Although Yang Nan was still a little unsatisfied, the civil and military officials of the Sui army did not dare to violate Chen Yingliang's military orders, and honestly left the table and went back to the camp to preside over the matter of establishing the camp. Yang Nan had no choice but to take the civil and military officials of the Qi Palace to say goodbye and return to the city to rest. Yin Shishi, the evil Yin Shishi took the opportunity to catch up with Yang Nan. While engaging in relationships, he took the opportunity to put eyeliners around Yang Nan. Li Yuan deliberately went out of the camp one after another, and then found an opportunity to chat on the road.

Soon, there were only some Qiao Peng civil and military officials left in Chen Yingliang's central army tent, as well as Li Jing, the Mayi County Magistrate who was forgotten by everyone. It was at this time that Chen Yingliang lay on the coach's chair and breathed a sigh, "It's more tiring than fighting a decisive battle. Hurry up and withdraw the banquet, present the official documents, and our camp map."

"What time-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed?" Chen Yingliang asked.

"Of course it is an opportunity to defeat the Turks." Li Jing said calmly: "The Turks are afraid of fighting with our Great Sui army, but our Great Sui army is afraid of fighting with the Turks army. Marshal Chen, please pay attention to the Yanmen sand table created by Bei Zhi. The Yanmen battlefield is double-teamed by the Wutai Mountains and the Luliang Mountains. The Turks' army has almost no room for detour. The only open northeast direction is also located in the depths of the mountains and steep mountains and surrounded by several major mountains on three sides, which is like a heavenly prison. The main force of the Turks is moving south and stepping into this heavenly prison by himself. If you still want to force the Turks away, wouldn't it be too a pity? Too missed the fighter jet?"

After arguing this slowly, Li Jing smiled and said, "Master Chen, the lower officials can assert that if I had defeated the famous generals of the Turkic before the Sui Dynasty, such as Yang Su, Changsun Sheng, Dou Dingrong, Yin Shou and Shi Wansui, who were reborn and were in the current position of the Grand Marshal, then they would definitely cheer for the blessing of the Sui Dynasty, and then immediately try to temporarily stabilize the Turkic forces, so as not to escape from the Yanmen Heavenly Prison. Finally, we will make an effort to completely annihilate the main force of the Turkic forces in this Heavenly Prison, and fight to defeat the Yanmen border for decades of peace."

The terrain in Yanmen area has long been kept in mind by Chen Yingliang. The Yanmen battlefield was covered by three remaining veins on the Taihang Mountains. Only the terrain in the direction of Gan County and Xinkou is wide, which is like a prison. Chen Yingliang has also paid attention to this point, but he has never taken this opportunity to wipe out the arrogance of the Turkic main force in one fell swoop. So after hearing Li Jing's hint, Chen Yingliang was shocked and could not help but be moved. After a little calculation, Chen Yingliang pondered and asked: "Is our current strength enough? Not to mention that the main force of the Turkic people cannot be destroyed, it will completely collapse his teeth?"

"How isn't it enough?" Li Jing smiled and said, "In addition, the Jiangdu Kings Army who arrived on the battlefield yesterday, our troops have reached 140,000, which is not much different from the total strength of the Turks. There are quite a lot of elite troops from hundreds of battles, and there must be a steady stream of reinforcements. Is it necessary to use the Turkic army that is afraid that he will be in an unfavorable terrain?"

Chen Yingliang pinched his smooth pointed chin and thought for a while before saying, "This matter is too big, so I have to think about it."

"Don't be afraid, this matter is very important. You must consider it carefully. Master Zheng, and understand it." Li Jing nodded, and then said: "But the official still believes that it would be too a pity for the general to let this god-given opportunity slip away from his hands. Therefore, Master Zheng feels that no matter whether you adopt the advice of Master Zheng to wipe out the Turks, you should prepare for the future and immediately set up a plan to temporarily stabilize the main force of the Turks and prevent the Turks from being able to escape from Yanmen Pass in advance."

"Mr. Li, are you worried that the main force of the Turks will escape early?" Chen Yingliang asked in surprise.

"How can I not worry?" Li Jing replied: "The Turks were originally bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They dared to attack the saints when our army was unprepared. They were good at riding the storm. How could they not worry about being trapped by our army in the death of Yanmen where the terrain was extremely unfavorable to them? Seeing that our Great Sui army continued to go north to serve the king, and even defeated their 50,000 partial divisions in Gan County in one battle, how could the main force of the Turks not have the intention to retreat early?"

Chen Yingliang continued to think about it, and after a long time, he said, "How to stabilize the Turks?"

"Mr. Your age and various internal problems of our army are the biggest bait to stabilize the Turks." Li Jing smiled and said, "If Mar., you can let the Turks know that you are young and have shallow internal problems, and there are many contradictions, and even your position as a general is not stable. Let the Turks think that yesterday's victory in Dongxian was just because of your good luck. To show that the enemy was weak, then the Turks would not escape and would have the intention to swallow our army in one bite."

Chen Yingliang pinched his chin for a long time before asking tentatively: "Mr. Li, how do I let the Turks know about these situations?"
