Chapter 156 The Great General never fights a battle that he is not sure of

Chen Ying frowned.

Perhaps out of the habit of later generations, Chen Ying still treats his eldest son Li Siye, a twelve-year-old child, as a child, and in later generations, Li Siye is just a primary school student, and he can enter junior high school.

However, it is too common to get married at the age of twelve in Datang.

The eldest grandson Wujian married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and that year, Li Shimin was only fifteen years old.

Of course, Pei Ju does not mean to get married now, but to get engaged.

For the age of engagement, generally speaking, it is younger, let alone twelve years old, even if it is seven or eight years old, there are many people who are engaged. If Chen Ying wants to refuse Pei Ju because he is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to say it.

Standing at Chen Ying's height, the marriage of his children really cannot completely rely on free love, after all, political marriages are too common.

Even if Li Siye is only Chen Ying's concubine, there are only two possibilities for his marriage, either Xungui or Li Tang clan.

Chen Ying did not make a direct decision, but looked at Wang Jue and said, "This matter ...... I can't be the perfect Lord, and I need to consult with his mother. I'll give you permission in three days! ”

Wang Jue thought that Chen Ying was going to discuss with Li Xiuning, so he got up and said, "It's so disturbing Chen Linggong, Wang is leaving!" ”

Chen Ying got up to send him off.

Chen Ying walked to the door and suddenly saw a team of knights in the distance, like thunder.

Chen Ying slowly squinted his eyes and looked at the knight's clothes, it should be the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army, their intention was not to pass on the decree, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng summoned him into the palace.

Sure enough, the knight turned over and dismounted neatly thirty steps away from Chen Ying, and the knight Chen Ying at the head also knew that it was Li Anyan, the current general of the left prison guard.

Although Li Anyan is not as good as Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng will never use the dignified Sanpin Left Guardian General as a herald.

Chen Ying was thinking in his heart, what happened to make Li Anyan, the general, go out in person?

At this moment, Li Anyan bowed down and said, "The last general will meet the hussar general!" ”

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and stroked: "General Li is exempt!" ”

Li Anyan cleared his throat and said, "Pass on Your Majesty's message, please General Chen to enter the palace!" ”

Chen Ying didn't want to deal with Chen Qi, open his mouth with money, and bribe Li Anyan, but asked directly: "General Li, dare to ask Your Majesty why he summoned Chen into the palace?" ”

Li Anyan seemed to be about to stop talking, but after thinking for a moment, he still suppressed his voice to Chen Ying and said, "General, something has happened in Liaodong!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a horse and ride to Chang'an Taiji Palace.

Chen Ying and Li Anyan marched side by side in cavalry, and the two talked while walking.

Chen Ying finally figured out a rough idea.

Originally, Yuan Su Gavin, the son of Lu Yuan Taizuo, went to Chang'an to contact Li Yuanji, intending to send 50,000 soldiers of the Sui army to Li Yuanji, so that Li Yuanji could act as an internal response within the Tang Dynasty.

These 50,000 Sui soldiers were secretly placed on Huzhou Island (today's Jeju Island), and because more than ten years have passed, the originally strong Sui soldiers have long since become walking corpses. Goguryeo was naturally willing to pay for Li Yuanji, not only supplying enough grain and grass, but also arming a large number of fine iron armor with more than 50,000 men and horses.

After Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng's brothers reconciled, Li Yuanji did not hide it from the 50,000 horses, Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuanji to pretend to stabilize Goguryeo, and then sent Xie Shufang, the commander of the Lin army, to lead more than 1,000 Qi Wangfu to Huzhou Island to conduct restorative training for these more than 50,000 Sui army soldiers.

Originally, this was just a backup plan of Goguryeo to resist the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, no one really took it to heart.

Three days ago, Li Yuanji suddenly received an urgent report from Xie Shufang, and for some reason, Goguryeo actually sent more than 70,000 troops across Huzhou Island and suddenly surrounded this wanderer.

The Goguryeo people were very insidious, and deliberately took the lead in suspending the supply of this army, and after delaying for four or five days, when this army was hungry and dizzy, they suddenly attacked.

Xie Shufang is also a brave general, if he is given enough food and grass, there is absolutely no problem in defending a semi-permanent military camp, even if Goguryeo sends an army of 100,000, Xie Shufang absolutely believes that he can defend until the arrival of the Tang army.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Goguryeo people would be so insidious.

Chen Ying hurried to the road, and when he arrived at the government hall under the door, the government hall was full of people and was arguing.

Outside the door, Chen Ying had already heard that some people advocated immediate rescue, while others suggested that there was no need to go on an expedition for a few remnants of the former dynasty.

When Chen Ying entered the political hall, he looked at the ministers and the politicians with a sinister face.

The crowd unconsciously stopped talking and arguing.

Chen Ying bowed to Li Jiancheng, who was on the main seat, and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and motioned for Chen Ying to sit down.

Chen Ying said angrily: "A little is still arguing here for a long time!" ”

Listening to Chen Ying's words, all the ministers were embarrassed all of a sudden.

Chen Yingke really didn't give them any face.

In particular, Wei Zheng said abruptly: "General Chen doesn't know something......

Chen Ying did not wait for Wei Zheng to explain, and said directly: "Since the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo has always been a vassal state of my Heavenly Empire, since the Later Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo began to disobey the king, recklessly, and for more than 30 years, all the way to the west, invaded more than 50 of the previous dynasty, and now openly attacked the Qi Wangfu of Zhouhu Island to unify the army, Yin is not a minister, openly rebelled, and rebelled, what else is there to discuss, beat him." Whoever rebels, destroys whom, kills rivers of blood, and sees who dares to rebel? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ying didn't give the ministers time to react at all, and directly turned to look at Li Jiancheng and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not talented, he is willing to lead 30,000 horses and horses to Zhouhu Island to quell the rebellion." If you don't destroy your country and destroy your temple, your ministers are willing to come and see you! ”

Chen Ying's words made Xiangguo speechless.

The truth is this, the key is that after Goguryeo was beaten three times by Yang Guang, it left a shadow on everyone. After all, a million-strong army, a labor expedition, was defeated in three battles and suffered heavy losses.

So much so that when Yang Guang went east for the third time to conquer Goguryeo, many people or soldiers would rather harm themselves than attack Goguryeo.

Even Li Shimin, the invincible Khan in history, returned the same way.

Wei Zheng was about to refute Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng got up and said: "This is very good, I ordered the hussar general Chen Ying, to command a total of 30,000 horses and horses on the left and right guards, and swear to go on the expedition!" ”

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but did not persuade again.

He knew that Li Jiancheng was a golden mouth, and it was irretrievable.

Wei Zheng secretly complained in his heart.

Is Goguryeo so easy to beat? Regardless of Yang Guang's martial arts, at least Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, who was recognized as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, during his reign, he still lost more than 30 armies, but he couldn't go to Goguryeo, but Chen Ying actually asked to lead 30,000 horses and horses to Goguryeo to destroy his country.

Even if everyone knew that Chen Ying had made great achievements, they were still worried.

Chen should have gotten permission from Li Jiancheng and turned around and left the political hall.

Out of the political hall, Guo Luo greeted him and said, "Lord, where are we going?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Go home first, anyway, the army is mobilized, and it won't be better for a while." ”

Just as Chen Ying was about to ride his horse back to Chenjiabao, he suddenly saw Wei Zheng chasing him out of the political hall.

"General Chen!"

Chen Ying turned to look at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xiangguo, what's the matter?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "General Chen, you are reckless today!" ”

Chen Ying pointed to a war horse and said, "Get on the horse and talk while walking!" ”

Wei Zheng reluctantly turned over and got on the horse.

Chen Ying looked at Wei Zheng and said: "Xuancheng, we have known each other for twelve years, you should know that this great general never fights a battle that he is not sure of, and this great general said that if he uses 30,000 horses to destroy Goguryeo, he will definitely destroy Goguryeo!" ”

"For General Chen's way of using troops, Xuan Cheng still has a little calculation!"

Wei Zheng had no choice but to implement the truth and said: "General Chen is naturally not afraid of Goguryeo, but General Chen has not considered it, what is the mood of the soldiers?" ”
