Ashina Simo said embarrassingly: "General, Jieli has led the Turkic people south!"
"What?" Chen Ying asked in amazement: "Going south at this time, does he think his life is too long?"
"The situation is correct!" Ashina Simo said: "It is said that there was a rare white disaster in the north. If they did not move south, the Eastern Turks would be frozen to death. According to reliable sources, Jieli led 35 horses and moved south to Dingxiang!"
"Dingxiang?"
Hearing this name, Chen Ying couldn't help thinking, "Li Jing's three thousand cavalry attacked Dingxiang at night, and Su Dingfang's two hundred cavalry attacked the Jieliya tent..."
History seems to be back on its original track.
Ashina Simo went on to say: "Migration from Mobei, the Turks had 60 or 35 horses, and now there are only about [-] people left, and the others died on the way of migration. At this time, the Turks were exhausted and exhausted. !"
Chen Ying's heart skipped a beat.
Tongwan City is only a thousand miles away from Dingxiang.
According to the speed of Chen Ying's trilogy, it is entirely possible to arrive at Dingxiang within three days and three nights.
Chen Ying turned to look in the direction of Chang'an. He didn't want to steal Li Jing's limelight, he wanted to make Li Jing famous, so he gave him the position of Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.
But right now Xieli has been wandering all the way from the distant Mobei.
Not only is morale low, but people are exhausted.And exhausted, [-]% of the combat power may not be able to exert [-]%.
As long as the strange soldiers appear under the city of Dingxiang, maybe the East Turks will collectively herd sheep.
Chen Ying murmured: "General Li Jing, Mr. Chen has to be sorry!"
PS: As the end of the year is approaching, there are too many trivial matters, and the update is a little slower. I hope you will forgive me.Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for a subscription!
Chapter 62 checks and balances each other
Chapter 62 checks and balances each other
Originally, Chen Ying didn't want to win the military exploits of destroying the Eastern Turks. For Chen Ying, the military exploits were enough.He needs to give up the stage to Li Jing.Attacking Yinshan Mountain at night was Li Jing's famous battle, and the first battle established his name as the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Jieli Khan was so desperate that he ran to Dingxiang with 35 horses.
It seems that Dingxiang City and Jieli Khan have formed an indissoluble bond.
Chen Ying can let go of his great contribution to pacifying the Eastern Turks, but these old ministries of his can no longer let go.From the consideration of the imperial court, this rumor turmoil also raised a warning to Chen Ying.
In fact, Chen Ying didn't stay anywhere very long.It's not like Li Jing, it's not like Li Shiji, it's not like Xue Wanche.Xue Wanche stayed in Jingzhou for six full years.
However, Chen Ying has only been in Lingzhou for more than two years, in Henan Prefecture for less than a year, Hebei for less than a year, and Anxi for more than two years, but the Western Regions are too big.
Because Chen Ying's performance was too eye-catching, he showed his sharpness, wherever he went, he would do it for his appearance.This made too many people in the court uneasy.
They were afraid that Chen Ying would take root locally.
In fact, it didn't work.
Before Chen Ying came, the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty were very miserable. Even the Zuo Wu Houwei among the twelve guards could barely eat enough water. As for meat, there was no need to think about it at all.
However, Chen Ying would never corrupt the poor Cai Jin of the lieutenant soldiers, nor would he tamper with the armor and weapons in the hands of the soldiers.On the contrary, any army that Chen Ying led, they all got specific benefits from Chen Ying.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to shallow.Once the army soldiers followed Chen Ying to have enough food, meat, and warm clothes, and their relatives at home had no worries about food and clothing, they couldn't do without Chen Ying.
If anyone changed to lead Chen Ying's soldiers, he could only follow Chen Ying's policy at that time, otherwise, the soldiers would show them color immediately.
Even if Chen Ying has no right or position, one order is issued, from Lingzhou to Shuozhou, then to Henan, Hebei, and even Hedong, the left and right guards of the East Palace, the left and right Siyu rate, and even the current left and right Wuhou guards.
As long as Chen Ying had led the soldiers, they would all accept Chen Ying's orders within a very short period of time.
As long as they were soldiers that Chen Ying had led, they would all bear Chen Ying's brand, and they would also develop Chen Ying's training methods, the unique way of working and resting in Chen Ying's army.
As said in "Bright Sword", the temperament of an army is directly related to the temperament of its first chief.Chen Ying's way of thinking is first of all different from this era. He doesn't even have the habit of being kind and not controlling soldiers.
Chen Ying believes that the lives of soldiers are precious, and if the battle can be resolved without casualties, casualties should be minimized.Especially the Dingyuan Army in Lingzhou and the Left and Right Army in Lingwu.This army was formed by Chen Ying based on the officers led by Donggong Youwei.
Although time has passed and circumstances have changed, although Chen Ying has not commanded the Dingyuan Army and Lingwu Army for nearly six years.
However, Chen Ying's era maintained the traditions of training in the morning and evening, learning culture in the whole army, talking heart-to-heart between generals and soldiers, and solving life and psychological problems.
When it was just dawn, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army had already woken up, and none of them slept late. Under the leadership of their respective brigade commanders and regiment captains, they conducted cross-country training in full armor as a unit.
Teams of soldiers braved the biting cold and panted for training.
Standing on the city gate, Chen Ying looked at the neatly lined up line, raising their legs and setting their feet neatly. Thousands of people were like an army formation of one person, and a smug look appeared on his face.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound behind Chen Ying. It was the sound of boots stepping on the snow.
Chen Ying didn't look back, because his footsteps were messy, he was obviously not one of Chen Ying's generals, Li Xiaogong was the only person who could get close to Chen Ying within thirty steps in Tongwan City without a report.
The soldiers training in the city accidentally looked up and found Chen Ying's figure on the city wall.
Their mood suddenly became excited: "General!"
All the soldiers were excited for a while, and the captain said with a straight face: "Look to the right..."
"Go forward!"
When walking forward, it is very powerful and gives people a very shocking feeling.
Li Xiaogong looked at the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army under the city, and said enviously: "General Chen's strict management of the army really lives up to his reputation!"
Chen Ying was not polite to Li Xiaogong's words.Instead, he said calmly: "King of Hejian, Jieli has come to Dingxiang!"
"Come to Dingxiang!" Li Xiaogong said in surprise, "Is he so impatient?"
Chen Yingdao: "He's here, I don't want him to leave again!"
Li Xiaogong naturally heard the meaning of Chen Ying's words.
However, the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks was the established strategy of the imperial court. Now that Li Jiancheng's imperial decree and the Ministry of War's dispatch order have not yet come, it is taboo to make a change at this time.
Of course, Li Xiaogong was not afraid of taboos, if Jieli had only ten thousand people around him, without Li Jiancheng's order, he would have rushed forward with the Hedong army.
The key is that Jieli Khan has 35 troops around him, and more than 4 troops from the Later Sui Dynasty.They are less than [-] horses, almost a ratio of ten to one, which is a huge disparity.
Li Xiaogong murmured: "Right now, we don't have an imperial decree from His Majesty, should we send someone to challenge Chang'an?"
"War by asking for instructions!" Chen Ying said angrily: "Eating shit can't keep up with the heat!"
Li Xiaogong was startled, and ignored Chen Ying.
In fact, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army that Chen Ying can mobilize alone are far from being able to go to Dingxiang City. Throwing these thousands of people in is likely to defeat Jieli Khan!
