Chapter 51: Smart but Mistaken by Smart

Chapter 51: Smart is wronged by cleverness

Chen Ying's dispatch of troops was actually to cover up the food, forage and armor and armor allocated, and he did not use the Chang'an treasury. The purpose was to hide the people's eyes and the world.

Sun Jingchu loaded the undisbanded soldiers of the surrendered army from Li Shentong in Mingzhou to ship directly, and at the same time loaded the grain and grass in Liyang. In this way, the Chang'an treasury completed the material transfer without using a grain of grain or a stone of grass.

However, these Hebei-born soldiers, not to mention armor, didn't even have any weapons, and they were all naked. These supplies needed to be replenished after they arrived in Lingzhou.

As for how the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue settled the dispute with Li Daozhen, this is something that Chen Ying was not concerned about. In Chen Ying's opinion, Li Yuan couldn't bear to take advantage of his niece.

Both personnel and supplies quietly set foot on the northbound fleet. After Chen Ying met with Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui, he arranged for Luo Shixin to be on the left bank and Zhang Shigui to be on the right bank, and to be on guard along the Yellow River. Whether it was the people or the vendors who traveled to the business, they were arrested and detained in various counties.

Any information actually has a certain timeliness. For example, now, Chen Ying needs to fight for time. As long as he arrives in Lingzhou, he is not afraid of the Turks' response. At that time, the one who is most worried about was the Turks.

In fact, in ancient times, in which reconnaissance intelligence was made in most cases, it was calculated. First of all, the consumption of food and fodder, and the sixteen guards stationed near Chang'an had a fixed rule, and the daily expenditure would not decrease or increase. Just leave a few spies in front of each warehouse, and you will definitely find signs of the mobilization of the Tang Dynasty's army. Of course, it is not possible to see the mobilization of thousands of troops, but more than 50,000 troops were mobilized, even if it was just a month, it was as many as tens of thousands of stones. According to this era, an ordinary car could transport more than tens of thousands of stones, and at least hundreds or thousands of large vehicles were required. Such transportation volume could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of those who were interested.

If you ask whether the Turks did it in Chang'an, this is actually something that is obvious to the bald man. However, due to the tense national relations between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in Chang'an City were closely monitored, but there were still loopholes. Because the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, especially after the Tang Dynasty occupied Liangzhou, the Silk Road was temporarily opened, and there were many merchants from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions in Chang'an City.

Although these people were not Turkic, they spyed on the military secrets of the Tang Dynasty for their benefit. There was a unique organization in the Eastern Turkic Khan, called "Faome", which was actually a spy organization. The person in charge was named Yehu Khan Ashina Sunis, who was the same mother brother of Khan Qimin and the uncle of Ashina Duo.

Asina Suni was proficient in Chinese. If he did not consider his golden hair and deep blue eyes, he could not imagine that he was a Turkic man just by his authentic Zhongguan dialect. However, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the difference between Turkic people and Lite people was just hair, so Asina Suni had dyed his hair and beard black, and ran a horse shop in Chang'an under the name of Lite merchant Huoba Mie.

In fact, this intelligence point has been reconnaissed by the left sect. The exposure of this intelligence point was mainly because the last time Chen Ying defeated Ashina Yiwuzhenmo, Shibi Khan Dujishi and Yehu Khan came to question Li Yuan. At that time, Mohe suddenly changed his words and quickly left Chang'an, which was the news that came from the mule and horse shop of Ashina Suni. However, due to the lack of interrogation, even Li Yuan did not know that the Turks had a Yehu Khan in Chang'an City, rather than an ordinary sect.

When Li Yuan and Chen Ying implemented a plan to conceal the world, they began to convey false news to Asina Suni. This falsehood was half true and half false. The Tang Dynasty sent the East Palace left and right guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and the left guards and clashed the mansion, which was naturally true. It was also true to claim that Li Shiji was the marshal and led the army northward. The fake news was that the actual commander of this army was not Li Shiji, but Chen Ying.

Asina Sunith is a smart man. He will definitely not trust this news just because the doctor of the Ministry of War he bought. He needs to make a judgment. When the news that the four guards led more than 30,000 troops to leave Chang'an, after repeated confirmation, it is certain that this is true. The food and fodder allocated from the treasury also verified the news.

However, Asina Suni was very concerned about whether Chen Ying was the commander of this army. If it were only Li Shiji, the Turks had nothing to worry about. If it was Chen Ying, it would be a different matter. At this time, Chen Ying had become the psychological shadow of most Turks.

The Turks worship shamans. Every time they pray, they silently muttered in their hearts that Chen Ying and Mo Qi swordsmanship. Simply put, every year, don’t beat me or beat me...

It's ridiculous to say that this situation was because Chen Ying beat the Turks too hard. The four Eastern Turkic Yehu Khans had twelve khans. Nearly half of them had suffered losses under Chen Ying's hands, not to mention that there were more than 30,000 Turkic people working as free laborers under Chen Ying's hands, and more than 20,000 heads, and now they are still piled up in the Wild Boar Ridge outside Lingzhou City.

If the Tang Dynasty did not send Chen Ying to fight, it would be fine if Zhang Shiji, one would kill one, and one would destroy one pair. The Turks were so domineering, but even if Chen Ying led an army of 300,000 to the north, half of the Turks would be scared.

This situation made Asina Suni very helpless, but now the Eastern Turks are in a difficult position. If they fail to establish their power this time, Asina Duo will become the biggest joke among all the Turkic khans.

Now Ashina Sunis is sitting in the yard holding a knife in his hand and cutting flesh on a roasted lamb. Below is a man with a pale face and skinny face, trembling.

Asina Sunii asked while sucking the grease on his fingers, “Have you eaten?”

The commoner trembled and said nothing. A vicious guard stepped forward and kicked, yelled: "Is he looking for death if he doesn't reply yet?"

"Eat... no... no... no... no..." The people were about to cry and said stammeringly: "Eat... still no!"

Asina Suni used a dagger to pick up a piece of roasted lamb and handed it to the people and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

"I want to... want to eat..." The people swallowed with difficulty.

Ashina Sunith's eyes flashed with disdain and said lightly: "What do I ask? You just need to answer truthfully and answer a question, a piece of meat. If you answer all of them, this lamb leg, not this sheep belongs to you!"

The people said, "Please ask, I will tell you everything!"

Asina Suni lost his word: "What's your name?"

The people said respectfully: "Little Huang San!"

Asina Suni used a dagger to cut off a small piece of meat and threw it in front of Huang San. Huang San didn't care that the piece of mutton had stained the soil. He reached out and pulled the mutton from the ground, and didn't even have time to clean the soil on it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Asina Sunis asked again: "What are you doing?"

Huang San stretched his neck and looked at the roasted lamb, showing a longing look: "The little Qujiangfang is used to collect the night fragrance!"

As promised, Asina Suni gave Huang San another piece of mutton, and then asked, "What did you eat yesterday?"

Huang San ate another piece of sheep and said without thinking: "Noodle...noodle cake..."

Asina Suni lost his words: “How much did you eat?”

Huang San said with difficulty: "One...one...one...and...a bowl of soup..."

Asina Suni asked in confusion: "Broth?"

Huang Sandao: "It's a vegetable...the vegetable soup...dried wild vegetables..."

Asina Sunis said to himself: "Eat only one bread for a meal? Are you eating small enough? No wonder you are so thin?"

Huang Sandao: "No...not a meal...it's a meal every day...it's a meal every day..."

Asina Suni lost his words: "Eat one meal a day, and there is only one cake at a meal?"

Although Asina Suni was so unruly, she asked Huang San as if she was a common person. Huang San gradually lowered her vigilance. While eating mutton, Huang San nodded and said, "Yes...yes..."

Asina Sunis asked again: "Have you ever met General Chen?"

Huang San shook his head and said, "I've seen it."

Asina Suni lost interest and said, "How could you see General Chen if you are a nightclub?"

Huang San shook his head and said, "Don't you know this? General Chen likes to get up in the morning and run around the flowerbed. When he gets up in the morning, he often sees General Chen. Once I pulled a big cart and almost slipped in the hill climbing. It was General Chen who helped me push!"

Asina Sunith frowned and said, "You don't ask if you tell lies. Who is General Chen? How could he help you push a cart? You will definitely not meet General Chen."

Huang San bumped into Tianqu and sweared that he had just met General Chen a few days ago. He saw General Chen running in the garden yesterday.

Asina Suni nodded and waved his hand: "Take it down and give him a meal of meat!"

The left and right guards took Huang San down.

Asina Suni fell and sat on the ground, speechless for a long time. He suddenly inserted the knife in his hand into the mutton, stared at the person who looked like a accountant, and asked, "What do you think?"

The man who looked like a accountant bowed and said, "Ye Hu Khan, it seems that Chen Ying's son must still be in Chang'an. The news that Chen Ying led the elite Tang army to Taiyuan must be fake!"

Asina Sunis shook his head firmly and said, "No, Chen Ying is no longer in Chang'an."

The accountant asked in confusion: "Ye Hu Khan, how is this possible? Didn't Huang San say that Chen Ying is still exercising?"

Asina Suni shook his head lightly, gently placed the knife on the case, and said lightly: "There is a famous saying in China: "Film and Film, Real and Film, Chen Ying looks at it, and I'm afraid that Chen Ying is no longer Chen Ying. If what is expected is right, Chen Ying has already followed the Tang army all the way north at this time, and maybe he will soon reach Jiexu."

Speaking of this, Asina Suni yelled coldly: "Come here, send a secret letter to Khan and tell him that Chen Ying has gone north!"

Asina Sunith was also smart but was mistaken for intelligence. He didn't know that Chen Ying did not go to Taiyuan. Moreover, Li Shiji, the most unpopular among the Turks, was actually a tough character and was not easier to deal with than Chen Ying.

When the Turks saw Li Shiji's power, they realized that if Chen Ying was described as a tiger, then Li Shiji was a poisonous snake. Once he was bitten, he would be unable to take it.

But this is only a matter of later, so I won't mention it for the time being.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs.

Asina Suni was so clever that he sent a wrong information to Jie Li Khan, which made the Turks lose in the diplomatic struggle of Li Tang.

Chen Ying took a boat to the north, heading towards Lingzhou at a speed of 200 miles a day.
