The three words "can't guess thoroughly!" naturally expose Pei Ji's cautious attitude towards life. However, these three words can also have many explanations.

Li Yuan was silent immediately.

Pei Ji asked, "If he had ambition, why would he refuse Liu Zhongzhi?"

Li Yuan instantly realized.

Although Liu Zhongzhi's appetite is not small, it is not worth mentioning compared to the country. Moreover, the northwest is bitter and cold, and although there are many lands, it is very barren. Li Yuan assigned the place under the nominal jurisdiction of Chen Ying, which is equivalent to Lingwu County during the Han Dynasty. However, even during the strong Han Dynasty, the population of Lingwu County was only more than 200,000. With the principle of ten households to provide one resident, Chen Ying controlled such a small population, and raising 5,000 soldiers was the limit. Even if he had ambition, what could he do if he had ambition?

At this time, Pei Ji said again: "Even if Chen Ying has ambitions, he is too young!"

Li Yuan was completely relieved after hearing this.

Chen Ying is now young. In this era, he has the saying that he has no words and is not doing things well. Even if there are heroes, he will not be able to serve Chen Ying. He has no soldiers or generals, and there are no capable ministers and counselors to help him. Chen Ying wants to break through the truth, but even if he is determined, he will be powerless.

Li Yuan ascended the Great Vehicle Yulu and walked towards the East Palace.

Looking at Li Yuan's back, Pei Ji smiled bitterly.

Li Yuan was very suspicious, but Pei Ji knew that the Tang Dynasty had no strength to fight at this moment. Stability overwhelms everything. Not to mention that Chen Ying did not rebel, even if he really rebels, he would still have to accept it, because the Tang Dynasty really had no way to establish a person who was helpless even if he was powerful Turks.

Although Pei Ji and Li Yuan have a very good personal relationship, it does not mean that their ideas and ideas are the same.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. Because the two are in different positions, the angles of considering problems are naturally different. Li Yuan is the emperor, and his starting point for his consideration of things has always been the country of the Li family for generations. As long as it threatens his dominance, he will get rid of this person without hesitation.

In the process of competing for the world with Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were defeated and surrendered to Li Tang. However, the treatment of the two was very different. Although Dou Jiande was defeated and surrendered, Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande without hesitation because Dou Jiande was kind and very popular. This was an irregular time bomb for Li Tang.

After Wang Shichong was taken down to Chang'an, Li Yuan let him go. Although he was eventually killed by Dugu Xiude, it was actually a personal grudge and had nothing to do with Li Yuan. The reason why Li Yuan lets go of Wang Shichong was mainly because Wang Shichong abused torture and lost the hearts of the people. Even if Wang Shichong returned to Dongdu, he could not even attract his old subordinates. There was no threat to Li Tang, so he could survive.

However, Pei Ji was considering different issues from Li Yuan. He was considering the issue of country and people's livelihood. Chen Ying was a good general. If Li Yuan forced him to rebel, he would definitely be a bad example. Who would dare to surrender to Li Tang in the future?

Therefore, even if Chen Ying really has the intention to rebel, as long as he does not formally raise the anti-bank, Pei Ji disagreed with strangling Chen Ying in the cradle. Because this will increase the process of Li Tang unification of the world. If Chen Ying really rebelled, the Li Tang army will suppress Chen Ying with reasonable ground and integrity, and there will be no loss of justice, and the people in the world will have nothing to say.

If you want to talk about the biggest difference between Li Yuan and Pei Ji, Pei Ji is just a black-hearted person, while Li Yuan is all black from the outside.

...

Just when Liu Zhongzhi left Lingzhou and returned to Chang'an, Chen Ying was still like a person who was fine, and he could live whatever he should do. But he was worried that Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Liu Tong, Duan Shigan, Liang Zan and others would be worried that the imperial army would come to Lingzhou or declare Chen Ying a rebellious person.

However, the things that made everyone worried did not happen in the end.

Chen Yingze still led his troops to train normally, and from time to time he took the cavalry to wander around Huaiyuan, where the Turkic Khan tent was located.

Although Chen Ying has not launched a large-scale attack on Huaiyuan, Chuluo Khan was frightened.

He made up his mind that as long as spring begins and the weather turns warmer, he will immediately lead the Turks to the north. Even if he is frozen to death in the northern part of the desert, he will never come to Huaiyuan.

This is so scary.

Although Chen Ying led the lances, they were only a thousand five. No matter how many cavalry the Turks dispatched to drive them away, they were all meat buns to beat the dogs, and they went there but never returned. Now the Turks are in panic all day long in Huaiyuan City.

The Right Guard of the East Palace led generals, Hu Yuejing, Gao Yunquan, Lu Decao, Wei Wenzhong and others, and Chen Ying did not ask them to return to Chang'an immediately, but took them to train every day and night. Of course, Chen Ying was still very grateful for Li Jiancheng's kindness. He didn't think that eight years later, if the Tang Dynasty continued to operate according to the original historical trajectory, the Xuanwu Gate Incident would eventually be irreversible, helping Li Jiancheng train a professional and regular army, so that Li Jiancheng would not lose too ugly.

Chen Ying did not think that he would become the winner of this game of fate. He just wanted to do his best and leave his fate. In fact, before Xuanwu Gate, reminding Li Jiancheng was useless. Wei Zheng reminded Li Jiancheng more than once that if the country was stable, he would kill the King of Qin. It was a pity that Li Jiancheng did not listen at all.

At this time, Chen Ying treated the Right Guard of the East Palace to train the generals as ordinary soldiers and gave them some military affairs from later generations. Although this knowledge is only a microscopic and tactical thing, it is undeniable that these things are very important.

On February 27, the second year of Wude, Chen Ying was blocked in the General Administration by Liang Zan, Zhang Huaiwei, Zhang Shigui, Liu Tong, Bi Xin and other core personnel.

Chen Ying looked at the uneasy people and smiled happily, "Why, I can't help it!"

Liu Tong really didn't understand Chen Ying's actions in this series of events. If he really wanted to be independent, he should kill Liu Zhongzhi, isolate the news of Chang'an, and then form an alliance with Liang Shidu and Turks, and do not invade each other. He made full preparations and faced the Tang army. However, Chen Ying not only let Liu Zhongzhi return to Chang'an, but everything was as usual, without preparing for supplies and equipment, nor was he intended to prepare for war.

"General, are you going to wait for death?" Liu Tong couldn't help asking.

"Should you die?" Chen Ying said: "How do you say this?"

"Even if Liu Zhongzhi climbs, he should have climbed to Chang'an. With his character, he will definitely try his best to arrange the general!" Liu Tong said solemnly: "Lord Li Tang..."

Chen Ying coughed and said, "It's Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Tong continued: "If Your Majesty mobilizes a large army to attack Lingzhou, will the general be willing to watch the corpses of the brothers separate?"

Chen Ying said: "Why did the Tang army attack Lingzhou? Are they full and full?"

Zhang Shigui said: "The general is sure that the Tang army will not come to attack Lingzhou?"

"You guys... are thinking too much!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "Damn Lingzhou, is it just Liu Zhongzhi's one-sided words? If Liu Zhongzhi really killed Liu Zhongzhi, we would have really broken up. But Liu Zhongzhi escaped back to Chang'an. If this general was determined to rebel, how could he allow him to escape back to Chang'an? What's more... Li Yuan is not confused yet!"

Everyone looked at each other, and it was really hard to understand the origin of Chen Ying's confidence.

In fact, although Chen Ying was not proficient in power and skills. He only analyzed the problems from the perspective of human nature. Li Yuan was suspicious by nature and was good at showing off his imperial power and skills. Therefore, Chen Ying deliberately angered Liu Zhongzhi, scared Liu Zhongzhi away, and then joined forces with Yang Ze and Du Shanguo.

Yang Ze and Du Shanguo were both loyal ministers, but it was precisely because they were loyal ministers loyal to the Li Tang court that they knew more clearly Chen Ying’s energy in Lingzhou. Once Chen Ying rebelled, Li Tang would be in chaos in the northwest. Chen Ying was like a sharp knife, pressing against Li Tang’s waist. As long as Chen Ying exerted force, Li Tang would definitely be hit by a fatal blow.

After receiving the assurance that Li Tang would not send troops to attack him and that he would never rebel, Yang Ze and Du Shanguo submitted a memorial to Li Yuan as Chen Ying wanted.

With Yang Ze and Du Shanguo as endorsement, Li Yuan also preconceived that Liu Zhongzhi failed to ask for bribes, and became angry and framed Chen Ying. After hearing Chen Ying's explanation, Liu Tong was secretly happy.

Although Chen Ying was young, he did not lose his mind. At this time, their power was still very weak. Now they occupied Lingzhou for a few years. Just watch Li Tang compete with Dou Jiande, Hebei and King Shichong of Luoyang for the world. As long as the time is right, they can lead troops into the pass and achieve the king's hegemony.

Liu Tong seemed to be about to cry. He was not moved by Chen Ying's words. With his IQ not so good, he felt that he had indeed met such a wise ruler! With such an unfavorable situation, he could turn it around in a blink of an eye and become a long-term plan to lay the foundation of the military and the country in one fell swoop!

For a moment, he was full of confidence in the future of Lingzhou. He was full of admiration for Chen Ying, but he felt that being a minister under such a wise ruler was a great blessing for him in his three lives!

Zhang Shiguize said: "Now, what should we do next?"

Chen Ying said: "Build a blast furnace and build an iron workshop!"

Chen Ying intends to build his foundation in Lingzhou, and is not worried that it will arouse others' vigilance and vigilance. The main reason is that Lingzhou is at the strategic throat and is at the forefront of the Turkic invasion. No one with a little ambition will look at Lingzhou. Moreover, although Lingzhou is large, due to the sparse rainfall, the development of arable land is limited.

Even if the restrictions on terrain and conflicts between forces are not taken into account, the six states in Lingzhou are in charge of the total area of ​​about 20,000 yuan, but more than 90% of them plant a thin field that can harvest seven dou. The 20,000 yuan glutinous land is the limit to produce more than one million stones of grain a year. The prerequisite is that Chen Ying must have a population of tens of thousands.

However, Lingzhou's population is too small now. Lingzhou has such limited productivity. Even if it is well developed, it will support more than 200,000 people and organize more than 5,000 troops.

However, Chen Ying did not intend to build Lingzhou into a grain production base, but an industrial base. There are rich coal and steel resources around Lingzhou, which can be completely built into an industrial center with coal and steel as the main industry and Lingzhou’s three salt fields as the foundation to form an industrial center with coal, iron and salt as the main industry.

Liu Tong and others were shocked when they learned that Chen Ying had such a big plan. Bi Xin said: "But, the general manager, whether it is reclaiming wasteland or building factories, the population has become too small, and we don't have that many people!"
