Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3319
The imperial power is supreme, and no blasphemy or threat is allowed. As a general commanding troops to surround the emperor's central army... No matter what the original intention of this kind of thing is, it is difficult for the emperor to accept it, because this kind of behavior is already serious. Threat to the safety of the emperor.

If His Majesty Li Er is in good health, with his heart and spirit, he can understand and accept this kind of motive, but if something happens to His Majesty Li Er, then Cheng Yaojin is likely to be charged with the crime of "Killing the King".

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this is the crown prince. If the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, everything will be easy. Cheng Yaojin is not only innocent, but has made great contributions.

If the crown prince fails to ascend the throne in the end, then the successor will definitely use this as an excuse to cleanse Cheng Yaojin, and there will be eternal doom...

Making such a decision requires not only the boldness of "Where there is righteousness, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go to it", but also the courage to put everything to death and survive.

Li Ji raised his wine bowl and said with emotion: "Zhijie is always self-effacing and rude, but how many people in the government and the public are well-educated and ignorant of ordinary people, but how many people like Zhijie understand righteousness and care for the common people? This bowl, I Respect the festival, drink holy!"

Cheng Yaojin's character is extremely resolute, once a decision is made, he doesn't get entangled anymore, he laughed and said: "Usually, you are a tight thief, every time you drink, you steal and play tricks, it's not easy to force you once. It's a pity There is not enough wine today, otherwise you will have to lie down under the table."

The two of them slammed the bowl together and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Ji put down his wine bowl and said disapprovingly, "I know that Zhijie can drink a lot, but I don't like what's in the glass, otherwise in a real competition, Zhijie is not my opponent."

"What?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened immediately, and he yelled: "Mother! If you say that you read more books than me and fight better than me, then I will admit it! How dare you brag that you can drink better than me? Wow! This is unbearable, I have to fight you for [-] rounds, let you know how powerful you are."

Li Ji looked strange, looked at the empty wine jars, then looked at Cheng Yaojin with a dissatisfied expression, and asked, "Do you still have a lot of bars hidden?"

Cheng Yaojin was startled, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter? Absolutely nothing."

It's just this jar of wine, Li Ji will think of everyone's face and skip it anyway, and won't delve into it.But if he knew that there was still good wine hidden in his tent, with his stubborn personality, he might have to send someone to search it out and confiscate it all, and then he would have to report it to the whole army and punish him with military law...

Li Ji watched Cheng Yaojin shaking his head like a rattle drum, and said with an angry smile: "Military law is no joke. As a general in charge of the army, how can you take the lead in violating the law and defy the law by yourself? This time it is not as fussy as you are, but if I find out If you hide in the tent and drink, or even get drunk, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Cheng Yaojin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know that you are fair and strict in the UK, and you will definitely not delay."

I didn't say I wouldn't "drink", I just said I wouldn't "make mistakes"...

Li Ji shook his head helplessly and ignored it.

The wine jar was empty, but there was still a lot of meat. The two sat on the boiling hot pot, eating meat and chatting, talking about the current situation in Liaodong and Chang'an.

Regardless of the fact that Li Ji is the dominant one between the two, Cheng Yaojin's personality seems to be careless and careless, but Li Ji knows that Cheng Yaojin has his own unique views on the political situation, and he can always hit the point and make decisions that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages Therefore, Cheng Yaojin's opinion is also very important.

After eating all the meat, he asked the soldiers to make a pot of tea, but after drinking a few cups, he heard the sound of clappers outside, followed by chaotic footsteps, gradually becoming noisy.

Now that it is the fifth watch, the Huotou army will be living and cooking at the fourth watch. At this moment, all the troops are eating, and when it gets brighter later, they will continue today's attack.

The Tang army continued to storm and storm the Goguryeo army's positions every day, so as to continuously give the Goguryeo army strong oppression and hit its morale.

Cheng Yaojin muttered: "Actually, if a navy participated in this battle, it would probably have captured Pingrang City before the Weishui was frozen. After all, the artillery of the navy is very powerful. If there is a bombardment, where is Goguryeo?" Can it withstand it? Everyone is on guard against the navy, fearing that our meritorious service will be taken away by the navy, and the result is the current predicament. Countless food, fodder and supplies are wasted, and the casualties are huge every day, but it is still difficult to capture Pingrang City .”

Li Ji said in a bad mood: "What's the use of saying this at this time? The matter has come to this point, we can only do our best."

Guanlong, Jiangnan, Shandong, the three forces rarely agree that the navy should be excluded from the main force of the Eastern Expedition, and everyone will share the victory of the Eastern Expedition. Not to mention the two of them, not even His Majesty Li Er I can only pinch my nose to recognize it?

Fang Jun's stick is the most unwilling to suffer, so he is still obediently nesting in Chang'an...

The situation is such that no one person can resist it.

Even if he forcibly participates in the Eastern Expedition, he is afraid that he will be suppressed and squeezed out by all parties. Let alone gaining military merits, being able to win a battle and return to Chang'an alive is considered Fang Jun's ability.

The strife in the army is not inferior to that of the court...

Cheng Yaojin nodded, he was just complaining, when all forces excluded Fang Jun and his navy, he kept silent...

Drinking the tea in Gan Gan's cup, he got up and wanted to leave. Although he was not Zuo Wuwei to participate in the battle today, he had to return to the army to restrain him, and beware of accidents.

Suddenly remembered something, went to the door and turned back, frowned and asked: "Then why is Chang Sun Chong silent recently?"

Changsun Chong was in Ping Rang City, and His Majesty Li Er had promised to return to Chang'an after committing crimes and meritorious deeds. Naturally, these senior military officials knew about it.It's just a bereaved dog who committed a great crime of treason. His Majesty is willing to let it go for the sake of Empress Wende. Naturally, everyone will not jump out to oppose him without seeing him, and make His Majesty unhappy.

Li Jidao: "The wind and snow are raging recently, and the army is heavily besieging Ping Rang City. Presumably, Ping Rang City is also heavily guarded and equipped with railroads. How easy is it to pass the news?"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "You are serving as a military counselor by His Majesty's side, anyway, remember to be more prepared."

Li Jiqi said: "Do you think Chang Sun Chongfei is sincerely committing crimes and performing meritorious deeds?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. You can return to Chang'an after you have committed crimes and meritorious deeds. Is it possible that the kid who grew up Sun Chong still wanted to stay in Ping Rang City as his son-in-law?" Yuan Gai Suwen is not a generation of Yi Yu, how can he easily let Chang Sun Chong steal military secrets? In case the Yuan thief will plan, he deliberately releases a false message to lure Chang Sun Chong to pass it back to the army, and then falls into the Yuan thief's trap. Trickster, then it will be troublesome."

Li Ji pondered for a while, this possibility is indeed there, he nodded and said: "I remember, but Chang Sun Chong is smart and sharp, even if Yuan Gai Suwen has a trick, it may not make Chang Sun Chong fall for it."

Although he is now a bereaved dog, but after all, he was the most outstanding son of the eldest grandson's family back then, he should be careful in the enemy's camp, and the possibility of him falling into Yuan Gai Suwen's tricks is very small.

But Cheng Yaojin sneered, and said disdainfully: "Fart is smart and sharp! It's just an embroidered pillow, have you forgotten how that guy was played by Fang Er several times in the past? , cannot be entrusted with major matters."

He has never looked down on the sons of the eldest Sun Chong and other aristocratic families. He talks endlessly with extravagant hype, and his actions are ordinary. , but it is really unreliable.

What's more, it is such a major military matter that concerns hundreds of thousands of troops?

Li Ji said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will pay special attention to this matter."

Cheng Yaojin didn't say any more, nodded slightly, tightened the cloak on his body, opened the curtain and walked out.

A gust of cool wind swept in and blew on Li Ji's face, which refreshed Li Ji. Although he hadn't slept all night, he wasn't very tired. He asked the soldiers to call him warm water for a brief wash, ate another bowl of porridge, and then Dressed up in armor, he left the tent and went straight to His Majesty Li Er's Chinese army tent.

As the prime minister, he was the natural second in command in the army. He had to follow His Majesty Li Er's side to counsel the military aircraft in every battle, and he even gave orders directly.

The sky outside was gray and not yet full light, the north wind swept the remnant snow and danced freely between the camps, and the snow creaked under their feet, and groups of soldiers came out of the kitchen neatly and went straight to their respective positions.

When Li Ji arrived at the Chinese military tent, he just lifted the curtain and entered when he heard His Majesty Li Er's very happy voice: "Mao Gong is here, come and see, the news from Chang Sun Chong from Ping Rang City."
