Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 908 Encouraging

All the ministers had no objection after hearing this, since it has been decided to go out, who will lead the army can be discussed later, the most important thing now is the preparations before going out.

But Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that the preparations issued by the emperor last winter were all applicable, and even just right.

After leaving the palace, Cheng Yaojin immediately grabbed Su Cheng and asked repeatedly: "Boy Su, I didn't blame you, why don't you help me to plead with His Majesty?"

Yu Chigong glanced sideways at Su Cheng, and said dissatisfiedly, "That's right, why don't you speak up? If you do, His Majesty will definitely decide on the leader of the army on the spot! Weigong is sick, so he must choose from among us." , you are fine, if you have to say something before discussing it, won't you let others take advantage of the loophole?"

Li Xiaogong said: "Isn't that right, you kid, why did you get scared at this critical moment!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Even if I recommend it today, His Majesty will not be able to decide who will lead the army!"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "How is it possible? Your Majesty is eager to go to the expedition. If you also open your mouth to recommend, maybe you will decide on the candidate on the spot!"

Yuchi Gong also said: "That's right, that's right, how do you know if you don't try?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Oh, that's fine, you all go back and prepare for the expedition!"

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Li Xiaogong immediately smiled when they heard this. Since Su Cheng said so, he must be sure.

Li Ji frowned, and asked ponderingly, "Shall we all go back and prepare?"

Cheng Yaojin, who was originally smiling, was stunned. That's right, Su Cheng just told them to go back and prepare. How is this possible?

Does the emperor have to divide the army into several groups?Let them all lead?

Not likely!

Even if the troops are divided, how many ways can they be divided?

Two ways?Three-way?

There are at most three routes to the sky, and it is more likely to be two routes. How can it be possible for them all to lead the expedition?

Several people looked at Su Cheng suspiciously. What does Su Cheng mean by this?

Su Cheng smiled without saying a word, but nodded slightly.

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said, "What do you mean?"

Su Cheng thought for a while, at this moment, there is no need to hide it from Cheng Yaojin and the others, after all, Li Shimin probably will announce the royal driver's expedition soon.

It's okay to tell Cheng Yaojin and the others, it can also make Cheng Yaojin and the others mentally prepared, and don't let Wei Zheng and the others be mentally prepared.

Su Cheng looked around and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty wants to conquest in person!"

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Li Xiaogong all stood there with wide eyes and mouths wide open, shocked expressions all over their faces, His Majesty wants to conquest in person?

If someone else said that, then Cheng Yaojin and the others would definitely spit on that person and ask for a personal conquest?how can that be?

However, the person who said this was Su Cheng.

No wonder Su Cheng said to let them all go back and prepare for the expedition. If the emperor's imperial driver went to the expedition himself, then of course they would accompany him to the expedition!

Cheng Yaojin and others suddenly felt pleasantly surprised. Originally they were worried that they would not be able to go to war, but if the emperor himself went to fight, then they would have a chance.

At their current status, it's not that they want to make more contributions, but they miss the feeling of being on the battlefield.

Li Ji looked at Su Cheng fixedly, and an incident that happened last winter flashed through his mind, and suddenly said: "Wow, boy Su, so you knew everything from the beginning!"

Su Cheng knew everything from the beginning?What does everyone know?

Cheng Yaojin and the others were puzzled at first, and then reacted. No wonder Su Cheng got angry when he was impeached last winter. No wonder His Majesty refused to reprimand Su Cheng. No wonder Emperor Ming made such a decisive move. Already know.

This is clearly planned for a long time!

In this way, Su Cheng's words are more credible. The emperor really wants to conquer by himself.

For a moment, Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at Su Cheng with some unkind eyes.

Su Cheng could only laugh dryly. Last winter he was impeached by the civil officials, and there was an uproar. He didn't care and hid in the Lishan hot springs. Cheng Yaojin and the others often defended him in Chang'an, and they were also given a good meal by the civil officials. .

Therefore, facing the gazes of Cheng Yaojin and others, he felt a little guilty.

They didn't say anything during the process, because they knew that since the emperor had other plans, he would definitely let Su Cheng keep it a secret.

Li Ji mused, "Your Majesty wants to conquest in person, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but be amazed when he heard that, yes, even the generals like them were shocked when they heard this, let alone the civil servants.

The civil servants in the court are not allowed to fry the pot after they know about it?

What will that scene look like then?

As long as you imagine it, the scene of Su Cheng's impeachment last year was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Moreover, in all fairness, they also felt that the emperor's personal conquest was a bit inappropriate.

Now that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, there are many soldiers and generals, so it still needs the emperor's personal conquest?

Of course Su Cheng also knew that if it wasn't for the spittle of the civil servants, why would Li Shimin be so cautious?

Su Cheng's eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin and the others, and he said with a teasing smile: "Isn't this your opportunity?"

opportunity?

It was indeed an opportunity, but Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the spittle of Wei Zheng and other civil servants.

The civil servants sprayed it, it was really scary, even if their skins were as thick as a city wall, they couldn't resist it.

How could a military general be so refreshing in a fight!

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Su Cheng, what about you? Since you know that the emperor wants to conquer in person..."

If Su Cheng rushed to the front, then they might as well follow Su Cheng and wave the flag.

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I, I'm young, short-sighted, and my words don't carry much weight!"

Cheng Yaojin and the others were very speechless. At this moment, do you know that you are young and have short experience?

Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and the others actually had another thought in their minds. Could it be that His Majesty asked Su Cheng to tell them secretly?

If so, then they would not be in vain.

The news of the emperor's decision to send troops spread throughout Chang'an like a gust of wind.

Not only did this news spread throughout Chang'an, but also the reason Su Cheng and Li Jing said.

In particular, the reasons cited by Su Cheng made everyone who heard it agree. As Su Cheng and Li Jing said, since the odds of winning by sending troops are so high, why not send troops?

Did it really make Goguryeo kick his nose on his face?

The officials who were discussing in the middle of the court originally planned to oppose the emperor's decision to send troops when they first heard the decision, but they did not object again later, because the imperial court only sent 10,000+ troops, which was not a big burden for the imperial court.

If the emperor intends to send hundreds of thousands of troops, even if the chances of winning are extremely high, they will fight to the end.
