Chapter 175: Representative to the trial of you

The emperors have different perspectives on the issues. They often consider who is threatening them and whether there is a threat, and remove them as early as possible.

When Chen Ying and Li Xiuning joined forces into the Central Army's tent, they saw Chang'an's envoy at first sight. Of course, there was no way to ignore it. The entire tent was full of military generals, with only one official wearing purple clothes, soft feet, mutton fat and jade belts, and goldfish bags.

However, Chen Ying knew not many officials and attended the court meetings for a limited number of times. I just felt that this person looked familiar. Chen Ying really couldn't name who it was.

The official stayed for a moment, then bowed and said, "I have paid homage to Princess Pingyang and met General Chen!"

The situation of Feng Lun and Feng Deyi is quite complicated. It is said that he was Li Jiancheng's person, but he definitely helped Li Shimin a lot, otherwise he would not have given him tens of thousands of rewards. He also asked Li Shimin to always be a confidant and Li Shimin was not right. There is a saying in the Old Book of Tang, "At that time, Emperor Gaozu was going to abolish and established the matter, but he was hesitant and decided to plan for Lun, and Lun insisted on his advice and stopped." Who was the stop? I think what he meant was Li Shimin, so that the meaning of both grammar and sentence context was relatively coherent.

Chen Ying naturally heard Feng Lun's name and knew that he was a celebrity in front of Li Yuan and was famous for his sleekness. Chen Ying, who was so slick, Feng Lun, Feng Deyi, did not act too well, but just nodded and greeted him in a hurry.

However, although Chen Ying did not want to have an entanglement with Feng Lun, Feng Lun did not intend to let Chen Ying go easily. He smiled and stroked his beard under his chin and said, "General Chen was unable to help the danger and turn the tide. He was truly Zhu Xuhou of Anhan and King Lanling of the Northern Dynasties."

Chen Ying was a little confused. He had heard of Lanling King Gao Changgong, but it seemed that the outcome was not very good. He really had no impression of who Zhu Xuhou was.

Looking at Chen Ying's confusion, Li Xiuning gently said in Chen Ying's ear: "The former Marquis of Zhu Xu, Liu Zhang, killed the Lu family and helped Wei Dingqing."

After hearing this, Chen Ying suddenly realized. Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty was in power for fifteen years, and the nobles of the royal family swallowed their anger for fifteen years, all of whom had the intention to kill Lu. Empress Lu died of illness and urgently needed someone to stand up. Zhu Xu Hou Liu Zhang raised his arms and shouted, which quickly ignited the hatred fire that the royal family group had suppressed for too long.

"Records of the Grand Historian: The Ninth Annals of Empress Dowager Lu" records: After the King of Qi sent troops, Liu Zhang led his troops into the palace to kill Lu Chan in the toilet. His head was chopped off in the toilet, and Lu Chan was considered dead. Then Lu Lu was killed by Zhou Bo's army in his fiefdom.

The Han Dynasty was once again shrouded in bloody storms. The once prominent Lü family, hundreds of people instantly turned into lonely ghosts.

There is never political hatred or love without reason. It seems inappropriate to compare Zhu Xuhou and Gao Changgong to describe himself?

If it were in the past, Chen Ying had no choice but to use Feng Lun. But now Chen Ying has the power of Hou Mo Chen in his hands, so it should not be difficult to entrust Lun. Chen Ying made up his mind to check whether Feng Lun's surname is Wang or Jiang.

Chen Ying turned around and looked at Li Shimin and said, "I don't know what happened to His Highness the King of Qin summoned him?"

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but his face didn't look.

"You can see it yourself!" Li Shimin sighed and pushed a secret letter in front of Chen Ying.

Chen Ying took the secret letter in confusion, opened it and glanced a few times, and felt his breathing a little solemn: "Dou Jiande broke through Xiangzhou?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Xiangzhou is generally Yecheng, which is today's Anyang area in Henan. Of course, it is not far from Luoyang. Xiangzhou is about 600 miles away from Luoyang. According to the calculation of the infantry traveling forty to sixty miles in this era, as long as ten days or as long as half a month, Dou Jiande's army will face Luoyang City.

Chen Ying then looked down and found that on the secret letter, Li Yuanyu said to Li Shimin earnestly that Dou Jiande led an army of 300,000 to advance westward. Although Dou Jiande's troops did not have that many, there were definitely tens of thousands of troops. Once Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong were allowed to join, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be squeezed out of the Central Plains.

Now I have lost the best opportunity to seize the Central Plains. I have taken advantage of the fact that Dou Jiande's army has not arrived yet and retreated quickly.

At the same time, Li Yuan also gave Chen Ying a secret letter. In the secret letter, Li Yuan was both an official and a wish. He was promoted to Duke of Pengcheng County with Chen Ying and promoted to Duke of Liang. Through the status of a pacification envoy, he was appointed as a pacification envoy of the People's Republic of China. Li Yuan also gave Chen Ying a secret letter to the Ministry of Justice on September 8, 3rd year of Wude, which was a good day, so that the Secretary of the Shangshu, Princess Pingyang, could be the son-in-law of the Princess of the Consort.

At this time, it was difficult to defeat Zhu Can, and the morale of the Tang army, which had collapsed, gradually recovered. As long as the generals rested for a few days, they could launch an attack on Luoyang. Chen Ying was really unwilling to retreat at this critical moment. However, Chen Ying did not care about the high and small official positions, nor did he care about the high and low titles, but only whether he could stay with Princess Pingyang forever.

Now that he heard Li Yuan’s promise, Chen Ying was also in a dilemma.

Chen Ying thought about it and handed the secret letter to Li Shimin: "What do you think about His Highness the King of Qin?"

"I'm not willing to... I'm not willing!" Li Shimin sighed and said angrily: "Wang Shichong is only half his life left. Dou Jiande, a despicable villain, actually came to take advantage of the situation to rob him again."

Feng Deyi said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's meaning, I believe Your Highness has understood. Taking advantage of the news that Dou Jiande's army is about to arrive, it has not spread yet. Take the time to deploy the army to retreat!"

Li Shimin had a hesitation on his face and did not make a decision immediately.

"Boom..."

A huge thunder that shocked the world made the canvas of the tent tremble, and also interrupted Li Shimin's thinking in the tent.

"Bang!" Li Shimin raised his head, punched the table in front of him with a punch, pulled his feet to the door of the big tent, pushed open the curtain and looked out, the outside of the tent was dark, although it was only three minutes later, and it was more than an hour before it was dark, but the sky was gloomy and gloomy, and could not be seen dozens of steps away.

A flash of lightning flashed, and I saw a vast white area in the camp, with heavy rainstorms pouring out, and rainwater flowing on the ground, and there was no road surface that had never accumulated water. Li Shimin said anxiously: "This thief is the heavy rain, and it's not over."

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Li Shimin's meaning, it seemed that he didn't want to withdraw his troops either.

Once the Tang Dynasty retreats, it will cause chain consequences. First of all, Wang Shichong can fully gain a foothold in the Central Plains. At that time, if Li Tang wants to attack the Central Plains, the difficulty will increase exponentially. At the same time, as time goes by, Dou Jiande will occupy the Jiaodong Peninsula and stabilize the rear. He will form a three-legged tripod with Li Tang, Wang Zheng and Dou Xia. In that case, many people will die in wars for years!

At this moment, Du Ruhui hurried into the hall and handed over the battle report of this battle to Li Shimin. Li Shimin took it and looked at it with joy on his face: "Cut eight thousand beheaded, ten thousand prisoners were captured, armor was seized, and there were thousands of weapons?"

Du Ruhui nodded.

Li Shimin murmured: "More than 5,000 injured people, there are really a little more. If you cut off the captives, you can always get seven or eight thousand people, right?"

Fang Xuanling said: "It should be almost the same!"

Li Shimin said: "Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie!"

Qin, Cheng, Duan, and Hou Si bowed and clasped their fists and said, "The last general is here!"

Li Shimin said loudly: "You go to the prisoner camp and the civilian camp, choose the young and strong, and form the army..."

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Chen Ying interrupted Li Shimin and said, "Let's wait!"

Li Shimin's face darkened: "General Chen..."

Chen Ying naturally knew that in this era, it was common to reorganize the enemy's prisoners and reorganize them into his own troops with a little discernment. Even Chen Ying himself did this. In the army under the captive Liang Shidu, Chen Ying also reorganized them into the Dingyuan Army.

Chen Ying said, "Your Highness of the Qin King is a clear-cut secret. Zhu Can's troops are ogres troops traversing Jingxiang. Many soldiers have followed Zhu Can to eat people. If they just let these prisoners go and their generals go, it would be too cheap!"

"Killing prisoners is forbidden!" Li Shimin said: "Now they have surrendered. If they kill them again, it may be unfavorable to General Chen's reputation."

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Chen Ying doesn't mind. Some people have to accept justice for crimes committed by them. They cannot pretend to be good people just because they put down their butcher's knife."

Li Shimin thought about it and thought that Chen Ying suffered too much losses because his cavalry under his command had a revenge on Zhu Can's surrendered army.

Seeing Chen Ying hesitating, Chen Ying bowed: "Please help the King of Qin!"

Li Shimin did not agree to Chen Ying directly, but looked at Feng Lun, the palace.

"What do you think about the ban on prison?"

Seeing Li Shimin's eager gaze full of hope and a little nervous expression, Feng Lun felt soft and wanted to agree; suddenly he looked at the murderous aura in Chen Ying's eyes, and just wanted to refuse, but he saw Li Shimin's eager gaze again.

Feng Lun secretly complained in his heart, neither of them could offend him. He had to turn his gaze away and look at the rain curtain outside the door with help.

Li Shimin had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Chen Ying's request.

Chen Ying was not negligent, and with Li Shimin's permission, he immediately walked towards the captive camp with Shan Xiongxin, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo and a group of personal guards.

Chen Ying's heart was filled with hatred.

In his cognition, the only difference between humans and animals is because they have conscience.

However, Zhu Can is a beast in human skin and a beast.

Especially in the captive camp, Zhu Can still acted like a tyrannical attitude. Looking at Zhu Can's appearance, Chen Ying suddenly became angry. He didn't talk to Zhu Can for the first time, but raised his sword and grabbed Zhu Can and beat him up.

Although Chen Ying's horizontal knife was not unsheathed, it was swung by Chen Ying and smashed it like a stick. Zhu Can was also covered in scars and blood.

Until Chen Ying was so tired that Chen Ying threw down the knife and gasped, "Zhu Can, you are doing evil in Qingzhou, Luozhou, and Jingzhou. You are killing the Han people. You wantonly massacre and insult the people of our Han family. Do you think that you will be today?"

"Hmph. Don't be too proud too early!" Zhu Can suddenly brute force to break free from control. However, before he could pounce on Chen Ying, he was kicked by Shan Xiongxin and knocked to the ground. Zhu Can said to Chen Ying viciously: "If you have the courage, let me live a few more days. Let's see with your own eyes that you were beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water by the tower!"

"Is that true?" Chen Ying smiled coldly, "It's just a pity that you have no chance. Today, this general will be the main discussion to judge you."
