Chapter twenty two
Chapter 220 God blocks the gods and Buddhas blocks the Buddhas and destroys the Buddhas
After leaving Dasan Pass, it is no longer considered the territory of Guanzhong. It is frozen thousands of miles away and snow falls thousands of miles away. Li Jing was not tired of the journey at all, but instead lifted the curtain of the car with enthusiasm and squinted eyes to the heavy snow outside the car.
The water in Chang'an City was getting more and more mixed. Li Jing was ordered to hold Liangzhou and was happy to be clean. As the Liangzhou General Administration, the chief executive of the fourteen military prefectures was in charge of the main office of the fourteen military prefectures. Although his official position was not as good as the original Lingnan general administrator, Li Jing was happy to be so happy. He looked at the sky and asked the coachman in front of him, "Where is this?"
"There is Gulang County ahead, and there are more than 140 miles to reach Liangzhou City..." The coachman replied respectfully.
If there was no such heavy snow, I would probably have arrived in Liangzhou in one day. In this situation, Li Jing could not be sure whether he could arrive in Liangzhou, so he tried to ask: "Can he arrive in Liangzhou before dark tomorrow?"
"This weather..." The handlebar showed a look of embarrassment.
Li Jing stuck his head out of the carriage and looked back and saw that more than 1,500 cavalry were walking with horses, which was very hard. His personal guards were mostly Bashu, Jiannan and Lingnan, and Guanzhong had fewer soldiers. These southern soldiers were not only inferior to those of northern soldiers, but also feared the cold. Although they were well prepared, many soldiers still had frostbite and yellow pus flowed out, which was very disgusting.
This time, Li Jing submitted an edict to replace Li Yuanji as the chief general of Liangzhou, rectifying the military and defense of Yumen Pass and Yang Pass, in name only to prevent the attack of the Tubo people, and in fact to prevent Chen Ying, the great protector of the Western Regions, from breaking through the pass at any time.
Li Jing couldn't figure it out. Did the court lose even the trust of the generals? He was in charge of more than 100 states in Lingnan, and his power was even greater than that of Chen Ying now. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong was holding on, he would have been suspicious of Li Yuan. Thinking of this, Li Jing felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit.
Chen Ying was the son-in-law of the prince, and his grandson of the three generations, and he had always been loyal and good at fighting. However, because of his outstanding ability and good at fighting, he was suspicious of previous emperors. From the Western Wei Dynasty to the present Datang Marquis Mo Chen Chong, three generations of Datang Marquis, have been tortured and tortured, and Li Jing was a little depressed.
Is there no more warriors in this world?
Before he left Beijing, Li Yi (also Luo Yi) was impeached by the censor, claiming that he had greedy for Mo and the amount of military capital was huge and he was punished for the crime. This made Li Jing feel a little bitterly. Prince Yan and the chief general of Youzhou Luo Yi was forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty because he lost to Dou Jiande. In name, Youzhou belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, Luo Yi had never received the food and fodder of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and he was responsible for supporting his troops.
This is a bit funny. The private army he paid for was impeached and corrupt was really ridiculous. However, Li Yi was imprisoned and Li Jiancheng tried his best to rescue him. I wonder if he could save his life. There was also a luxurious carriage behind Li Jing, sitting in Liangzhou Military Admiral Zhang Zongsheng. Zhang Zongsheng, who was almost fifty years old, was a confidant in Li Yuan's Neigong and was also used to monitor himself.
Li Jing felt very uncomfortable about being monitored. Unfortunately, he was also helpless in some things.
Li Jing felt that the carriage had stopped while half asleep. He lifted the curtain and saw Zhang Zongsheng sticking his head out to look here. After a long time of riding the car, he felt his hands and feet stiff. He jumped out of the carriage and said to Li Jing: "General Li, it's better to get off and move your legs and feet. It's not easy to ride the car all day..."
"Emperor Zhang thought that Mr. Chen would send troops now?" Li Jing couldn't understand. Li Xiuning was by Chen Ying's side, so how could Chen Ying do anything? Li Xiuning alone was enough to be worth an army of 100,000. At least, there were a few people who were dissatisfied with Li Xiuning in the Tang Dynasty? Li Jing got out of the car, stretched out his skills, and asked calmly.
Zhang Zongsheng twisted the orchid finger and said with a sharp voice: "Our family doesn't care about this. General Li came to Liangzhou to prevent the Tubo people from attacking Liangzhou. Liangzhou is fine. Even if we complete the task ordered by His Majesty, as for the others..."
Li Jing's eyes involuntarily fell on the brocade bag on Zhang Zongsheng's back. It seemed that there was more than one imperial edict in it. Li Jing originally thought that leaving Chang'an could bypass the right and wrong vortex, but he did not expect that when he came to the northwest, he still couldn't escape.
Li Jing vaguely heard about how many soldiers and horses Chen Ying had under his command, and there were no less than 100,000 elite soldiers and many cavalrymen. Liangzhou only had fourteen Zhechong Prefectures, plus the Dingyuan Army, with less than 30,000 troops.
He took 30,000 troops and let Li Jing take the initiative to attack, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to take advantage of Chen Ying. Li Jing had this confidence, but he had no idea about him to lead less than 30,000 troops to defend Chen Ying.
At this time, Li Jing looked at the endless ice and snow, not only smiling bitterly but also smiling bitterly.
Even if he thinks from the perspective of others, if he is treated like this unfairly by Chen Ying, he may be unwilling to accept it?
Looking at Li Jing's worried look, Zhang Zongsheng smiled disdainfully and said, "General Li, don't think about some Tubo people, are you afraid?"
Li Jing had no way to communicate with the eunuch Zhang Zongsheng at this time. Even if the Tubo people sent troops in such a snowy and ice, how many soldiers could they be sent? Covered with ice and snow, people and horses all need to be transported. With the transportation ability of the Tubo people, they could draw out three or five thousand troops to be sent out.
There are 30,000 or 50,000 people, Li Jing is not afraid at all, and he can teach them how to be a human being in every minute.
But this dead eunuch was just pretending to be confused. Did he really not know that it was Chen Ying who was going to be on guard against?
Didn’t he know what Chen Ying represented in the Tang army?
The God of War can also be said to be the god in the hearts of the new generation of soldiers of the Tang army.
The faith of hundreds of thousands of Tang army soldiers.
Even if Li Yuan issued an order to arrest Chen Ying, I am afraid that few people would dare to attack Chen Ying.
...
After Chen Ying was blown by Li Xiuning, his sorrow was wiped out. He led his personal guards to patrol everywhere in the snow to supervise the local disaster situation, and supervise the acceptance of savages in the Western Regions. He strictly ordered all cities not to refuse to accept savages or refugees.
In the Western Regions, the vast grasslands give countless small troops and villages space to live. In fact, the Western Regions are wars and storms every year, and wind and snow are stricken every year, but the population of the Western Regions will never decrease. This is because in addition to the cities of the Western Regions, there are countless unknown small tribes or savage villages. They do not accept the royal transformation and are unwilling to be exploited by the government, so they hide themselves and live by themselves.
But now it is wind and snow, and the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. If they have enough savings, they can still hold on. However, once they do not have enough food or fuel, there is only a dead end to them.
In this case, in order to survive, they will automatically go out to hide villages or valleys and seek help from cities or smoked places.
Chen Ying's management model in the Western Regions is actually similar to the Lingzhou model at the time. He has several counties in the prefecture, several towns and several forts.
At this time, Chen Ying was not focusing on the counties, but mainly remote towns and forts. He was not in trouble and did he need help? After all, in this era, the message was very slow, and it was not considered a message in later generations, and the whole world could receive it immediately.
Although the snow and ice were ice, Chen Ying and the Anxi Army did not have to suffer too much. More than 700 four-wheeled carriages transporting food or fuel, as well as soldiers, after removing the wheels, they were loaded with sleds, and they were boats in the snow, and their advance speed was faster than usual.
At the Bogula Pass, the sky and snow were connected together, and Chen Ying's convoy was slowly advancing on the snow surface.
Li Xiuning accompanied Chen Ying in the carriage. At this time, Chen Ying's carriage was covered with cowhide, which not only could isolation the cold, but even arrows could not be shot in. Although the carriage was as warm as spring, Li Xiuning, who was pregnant, felt uncomfortable in the weather and his hands and feet were cold. He just covered his legs and feet with a thin brocade quilt, and sat on the soft couch to see Chen Ying studying the map there.
On Chen Ying's map, Chen Ying took a quill and drew a black line in Ningjin Town, Hongkou Town, and Songshan County, Bogula Valley. Chen Ying pointed along the line and said, "This also requires a road to build. You can reach Kashmir along this road and also to Yandu!"
Li Xiuning has heard strange words from Chen Ying's mouth more than once, and she has no doubt about this. Li Xiuning frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Body body!"
"Shen Du was once a huge empire, but more than a hundred years ago, they encountered an unprecedented economic crisis!" Chen Ying's eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space, and he saw ancient India in the south.
To talk about ancient India, it is actually a joke.
They encountered more than 300 invasions in history. Except for the Mauryan period, they successfully resisted the invasion of Alexander (actually because of Alexander's sudden death) during the Mauryan Dynasty, all of them were invaded. During the more than 300 invasions, more than 180 ethnic groups of various sizes were gradually formed in ancient India.
Now is the chaotic period in India's history. King Ji Ri, who was yelled to heaven by the Indians, is actually just a powerful prince in northern India. His influence is no more than Deccan in the east, but it is only a few more than half of the territory of India's more than three million square kilometers, but it is definitely less than half.
Otherwise, Wang Xuance of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty would not have been able to stage the myth of destroying a country by one person.
As the Tang Dynasty became more and more influential in the Western Regions, Chen Ying gradually became concerned about the fat meat on his lips.
Li Xiuning looked at the map and found that Chen Ying's eyes were getting farther and farther away from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ying's hand and said, "Chen Lang, we can't retreat. We are our roots in the Central Plains!"
"What else?" Chen Ying laughed: "A bunch of short-sighted fools, they don't know that this is the real god-given place. The fertile Ganges Plain, the harvest of a year is enough for everyone in the Tang Dynasty to eat for decades. If no one wants it here, I want it!"
Li Xiuning put his elbow on the small table on the couch, held his pretty face with his hands, looked at Chen Ying a few steps away, and said, "I want to go back to Chang'an!"
"When I go back to Chang'an at this time, I'm afraid I can't come out alive!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "My existence threatens the stability of the empire, and many people want me to die!"
"I think who dares!" Li Xiuning said domineeringly: "If they really want us to die..."
Speaking of this, a thick layer of murderous aura appeared on Li Xiuning's face: "Then let's poke a hole in the sky!"
"Have you thought it through?" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "A lot of people will die if you do this!"
