Li Jiancheng pointed at the screen and said angrily, "Do you know who used that screen?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng innocently and said, "I don't know."
Li Jiancheng was so angry that he took a big breath before saying with wide eyes, "King of Lanling!"
Under the door of the imperial study room, Li Anyan suddenly pulled Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xiangguo, hurry up and persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty is furious inside."
Wei Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the movement in the imperial study room was less.
Wei Zheng sighed and said, "If Fang Xuanling can't persuade His Majesty, it's useless for anyone to go, unless General Chen is here!"
Of course, what Wei Zheng said was insincere.
He and Fang Xuanling agreed in advance, and he firmly refused to agree to Li Jiancheng's expedition.
Li Jiancheng, like Li Shimin, is both civil and military.In fact, Li Jiancheng used soldiers like other people, extremely restrained and seemingly meek, unlike Li Shimin, who was as fast as the wind and as fast as fire, and Li Shimin liked to take risks very much.Don't look at Li Jiancheng's lukewarmness when he used his troops, that's the worst thing.
During the battle of Qianshuiyuan, Li Shimin won a small victory in the first battle.
However, Li Jiancheng seized the opportunity to take advantage of the internal disharmony in the Western Qin Dynasty to drive a wedge between his monarch and his ministers and expand the internal contradictions in the Western Qin Dynasty. In this way, Xue Rengao had no choice but to surrender.This was exactly the case in the battle of Hebei. Don't look at Dou Jiande pressing Li Jiancheng to fight, but Li Jiancheng sent Wei Zheng to contact the Hebei and Shandong aristocratic families.
Dou Jiande, who became a loner, had to surrender.
As the so-called good fighters have no great military exploits, in history, Li Jiancheng was responsible for the defense of the north, and the Eastern Turks could not advance an inch.On the contrary, as soon as Li Shimin took it back, Jieli Khan led 20 soldiers and horses, approaching the city of Chang'an.
In the imperial study room, Fang Xuanling folded his arms and squinted at the screen, with a serious look of appreciating masterpieces.
Li Jiancheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, and asked Fang Xuanling with a mournful face, "Fang Xuanling, am I so untrustworthy in military matters?"
Fang Xuanling still looked at the screen, and said calmly: "This is not a matter of trust... This screen is just average to me!"
Li Jiancheng asked almost tremblingly, "What's the problem?"
Fang Xuanling leaned closer to the screen again, looked more seriously and said: "Li Jing is in command, and His Majesty will grant him the white banner and yellow axe, and appoint him to lead the army; but, if Your Majesty is the commander, who will award it to His Majesty?" White flag and yellow axe? Who will come to worship His Majesty as marshal?"
Fang Xuanling turned her head abruptly, stared at Li Jiancheng, and asked with a questioning expression: "Could it be that you want to invite the Supreme Emperor out of the Ganlu Palace?"
Fang Xuanling spread his hands, pretending to be innocent and said: "If that's the case, I have nothing to say."
Li Jiancheng was tongue-tied and sat on the ground slumped in anger.
Li Jiancheng asked unwillingly: "In all fairness, in command of the Northern Expedition, is it I who is stronger or Li Jing who is stronger?"
Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "What is the purpose of His Majesty asking this question?"
Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Fang Xuanling said: "If His Majesty thinks that he is stronger in the military, so he wants to take command and conquer himself, then His Majesty should give Chen Ying the position of Grand Marshal of the Northern Recruitment Army!"
Li Jiancheng was speechless.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is stronger than Chen Ying?"
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Strong... Just a little bit stronger!"
Fang Xuanling said: "Based on the right guard of the Eastern Palace, there are only [-] generals in the four prefectures. Can Your Majesty defeat the tens of thousands of elite Turkic Shibi Khan?"
Li Jiancheng was speechless.
Fang Xuanling said again: "With 20 soldiers and horses, can your Majesty defeat the [-] soldiers and horses under the command of Yehu Khan, the Western Turkic Commander?"
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I can't!"
Fang Xuanling said: "Why didn't Your Majesty appoint Chen Ying as commander in chief?"
Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Fang Xuanling continued: "In this world, it's not that anyone who is suitable for doing something must do something. I think that I am better than your Majesty in governing the country. Your Majesty, the emperor, can you do it?" Come down as a changeling?"
Li Jiancheng curled his lips in disdain and said, "I'll let you do it, do you dare to do it?"
Fang Xuanling said: "If you dare to give, I will do it."
Li Jiancheng was angry.
Fang Xuanling held back his laughter, and said with a tense expression: "Your majesty can only choose one of them, if you are the son of heaven, or you are the emperor, please sit in the capital and order Li Jing to march in the north; if your majesty is the general, Please return the great treasure to the Supreme Emperor!".
Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling for a while, then said viciously, "I won't return it!"
……
Tong Wancheng, cold and windy.
Regardless of the cold wind, Chen Ying insisted on standing on the city gate and looking north.
Chen Ying was actually thinking, what will he wait for?
Twelve gold medals?
Or a decree?
However, the news from the court has not arrived yet.
Just when Chen Ying felt that he was about to freeze, suddenly a group of cavalry braved the cold and came from north to south.
The distance is too far, Chen Ying can't see clearly.
After a short time, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer.
Chen Ying turned to follow the prestige, and saw Ashina Simo, leading a group of Turkic cavalry, coming slowly.
This is the Lingwu Army formed by Chen Ying when he became the governor of Lingzhou.
The Turks surrendered their troops mainly, but since Yu Sheshe's rebellion, this army has been secretly controlled by Shan Xiongxin, whose alias is Chen Tong.
Seeing that Ashina Simo had turned white, Chen Ying asked, "Go in and be warm!"
With that said, Chen Ying went to the enemy building on the city wall.
During this period of time, Tongwan City, as one of the northern barriers of the Tang Dynasty, assumed the northern barrier.In order to alleviate the suffering of the soldiers in defense, Chen Ying ordered craftsmen to renovate Tongwan City, especially the enemy towers.
Fire walls are built inside, and heated kangs are built in the barracks.
Entering the enemy building, the temperature inside exceeds 25 degrees, and it doesn't feel cold at all.
Chen Ying asked for a brazier to be brought to Ashina Simo and a group of soldiers for them to warm up.
Ashi Nasimo took off his boots, and put the fire on the brazier to roast.
A stench comparable to that of biochemical weapons permeated the air, and Chen Ying hurried to the ventilated position at the door.
