Chapter 5: Preserving the Turks (Three Watches)

Ashide Jie Lifa actually knew that Chen Ying was the master who refused to suffer, and he had been guarding against the revenge of Chen Ying and the Lingzhou army. The force of the Turks was a great deterrent to the other Han forces, and since the eleventh year of the Great Cause, no army has ever dared to take the initiative to attack the Turks.

However, the military deterrence of the Turks was simply a joke for Chen Ying. Chen Ying divided the Lingwu Army into more than 30 teams of more than 9,000 people, but he did not take any action, at most he only strengthened the patrol in Lian County. In order to avoid impulsiveness with the Lingwu Army, Anad Jie Lifa forced Palken Brut to withdraw from Xihe Pavilion in Lian County.

It can also be said that although this retreat was only more than 30 miles, in fact, Chen Ying was almost bloodless, expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty by nearly 600 square kilometers.

Anad Jielifa thought that Chen Ying would be satisfied, but in fact, Anad Jielifa thought badly, and Chen Ying's appetite was much greater than Anad Jielifa imagined.

Ashed Jielifa ordered the people who controlled the strings to closely monitor the Lingwu army for more than half a month, and Anad Jielifa's troops gradually complained that it was the season when the spring grass grew wildly, and it was also the best season for sheep and horses to replenish their fat, seeing that the horses and sheep in the tribe were still skinny, these Turks protested to Anad Jielifa and strongly demanded the disbandment of grazing.

In desperation, Anad had no choice but to order the highest combat readiness to be lifted, and the young men of each department returned to their headquarters for grazing. However, on the night of the seventh day when Anad Jielifa lifted his guard, the Lingwu army broke into the shore of the plain lake in the Yinchuan Plain along the Bronze Canyon.

Pingyuan Lake is a small lake on the Yinchuan Plain. Due to the blocking of the winter monsoon by Helan Mountain, the winter here is relatively warm, the land is more fertile, and the grassland is lush, which is an excellent pasture. In this meadow of about 600,000 pours. Scattered with seventy or eighty thousand sheep and more than seven thousand horses.

The grassland on the shore of Pingyuan Lake is relatively unfamiliar to Chen Ying, and the surrounding roads are not familiar. However, for Chen Jinyong, Ashina Simo and Yu Guni, this place is as familiar as their own backyard. The Turks were caught off guard, and after more than 9,000 Lingwu troops broke in, they were divided into more than 30 teams and robbed all the horses and sheep on the shore of the plain lake.

In the first wave of robbery, the Lingwu army gained quite amazingly, not only grabbing more than 56,000 sheep, but also more than 6,000 horses, hundreds of camels, and more than 800 cattle.

Not only did they plunder so much property, but at the same time, the Lingwu army also grabbed the grass and beat the rabbits, and plundered more than 3,000 Turks. By the time Anad Jielifa reacted and then concentrated on the young men in his department to catch up, the Lingwu army had already returned with a full load.

After Yu Guni, Ashina Simo, and Chen Jinyong returned to Lingzhou. Chen Ying immediately sent a messenger to a wicked person to sue first, asking why Ashid Jie Lifa sent someone to pretend to be a horse thief and plunder the ground of Lingzhou, causing hundreds of injuries to the people of Lingzhou and destroying 10,000 acres of fields.

This can make Anad Jieli confused, and Anad Jieli angrily roared: "We pretend to be horse thieves? It's clear that it's true that you Tang Jun are pretending to be horse thieves. ”

The envoy of the Tang Army said according to the words discussed in advance between Chen Ying and Xu Jingzong: "I sue you for slander and insult the Tang Army, that is, to be the enemy of the Lingzhou Army, and if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, this matter is not over!" ”

"It's not slander, it's the truth!" Asdejieli roared like a drop of blood: "The blue wolf god is in his eyes! ”

The envoy of the Tang Army plucked out his ears and said, "What is the Blue Wolf God?" I haven't seen it and I don't know it, what about the evidence? Without evidence, that's slander! ”

Anad Jielifa naturally has no evidence, he hasn't even captured a single Lingwu Army prisoner, how can there be evidence? Besides, Chen Ying's most poisonous thing is the arrows used by the Lingwu army, all of which were originally captured by the Turks, and on the battlefield on the shore of the plains and lakes, Anad did not even find a single arrow of the Tang army.

Once this kind of war of words starts, it will be endless.

Chen Ying originally wanted to use the captured sheep and horses to graze on the wasteland of Bogulucheng in the south of Lingzhou City. However, because Lin Chuanfu followed Chen Ying's design, he created the plough mirror. The plough mirror, which was originally invented in the Song Dynasty, greatly improved the efficiency of cultivated land. In just one month, 200,000 wastelands were reclaimed.

Chen Ying had to endure the pain of transporting these sheep to Guanzhong for sale, in addition to rewarding meritorious soldiers, more than 40,000 sheep were sold to Guanzhong, due to long-distance migration, serious weight loss, after arriving in Guanzhong, each was sold for only 300 yuan, and finally got 13,000 yuan. And the horse Chen should leave 2,000 horses to reward meritorious soldiers, and more than 4,000 horses to get more than 32,000 yuan.

With this income of nearly 50,000 yuan, he bought grain directly in Guanzhong, and Chen Ying finally made up for the food gap in Lingzhou.

However, the Lingwu Army, which had repaid the sweetness, did not give up this opportunity to make a fortune, although it did not take such a large-scale raid as this one, but it continued to carry out activities like three or five hundred horsemen, holding one handful and leaving.

Later, the Turks near Huaiyuan City could not bear it anymore, and they were harassed day and night by the "horse thieves" who came and went. After each raid, Chen Yingbi sent someone to ask Ashed Jielifa, "Why did you send someone to pretend to be a horse thief and harass me Lingzhou?" ”

Chen Ying's shameless style also made Chen Ying's reputation spread within the Turks, and basically Chen Ying has become synonymous with demons.

Even when the Turks were arguing, they swore and said: "If I lie, let me meet Chen Ying!" ”

Ashdejie Lifa really saw Chen Ying through, Chen Ying is a despicable and shameless person, the water is clear, there is no fish, and the person is invincible. Chen Ying is so shameless, and Ashide is helpless.

Although he knew that Chen Ying was a ghost, he was afraid of the might of the Tang army, and he did not dare to march south with the army.

At this time, Ashide had no choice but to rescue Philosher, who had already returned to the Hunhe River with his troops. Hopefully, this Chuluo Khan will be able to lend a helping hand.

But Ashina Lifushi has been psychologically shadowed by Chen Ying.

Hearing Chen Ying's name, Ashina Lifushi felt a numb scalp.

Chu Luo Khan and Lifu set up trouble for Asdejieli, and scolded him for having a large army but there was nothing he could do about Chen Ying, who had fewer troops than himself.

But at this time, Princess Yicheng wrote to him at this time and told him: "Now that the generals of the Tang Dynasty and Jinzhou are not in harmony, it is a great opportunity. If he took advantage of the gap between Li Yuanji and the generals, he would definitely be able to capture Jinyang, the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, to avenge the previous humiliation. ”

He wished that he was as far away from Chen Ying as possible, and he was very concerned about Jinyang's attack plan, so he ordered Ashid Jielifa to move closer to Dingxiang and issued a golden arrow herald.

The golden arrow issued an order, which meant that Chuluo Khan was ready to mobilize all the absolute forces of the Turkic Khanate and prepare to conquer Jinyang in one fell swoop.

However, Bu Lugen said: "The origin of these bandits is unknown, and from what they did to Lian County, it is clear that they are still a gang of gangsters. It is difficult for such people to become a great climate, but it is extremely difficult to exterminate, and it is impossible for people to prevent it. For the sake of the present, it is better to try to preserve the Turkic side. ”
