Datang's free and easy concubine

912 Awe

Cheng Yaojin tilted his head slightly and glanced at Su Cheng, only to find that the old god Su Cheng lowered his head at ease, fascinated as if there were flowers on the ground.

This kid is really a slippery head!

"Who will lead the army? I really have a headache!" Li Shimin sighed.

Cheng Yaojin cheered up, and said in a buzzing voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, although our Tang Dynasty has strong troops, cotton clothes, and cannons, I think the Goguryeo people are very tenacious, and it is really not easy to conquer the East. Soldiers are indeed extremely demanding, but I feel that the leader of the army is really hard to find."

Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help being a little startled when they heard that, they thought Cheng Yaojin was recommending himself again after Cheng Yaojin said so much.

Unexpectedly, at the end, he said that the leader of the army is indeed hard to find. What does this mean?

Didn't Cheng Yaojin and the others scramble to lead the army?

Why are everyone silent now?

Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and the others were puzzled, always feeling as if something happened that they didn't know about.

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin finally spoke, Li Shimin nodded slightly in satisfaction and asked, "Zhijie, who do you think is more appropriate to lead the army?"

Cheng bit Jin's mouth bitterly, and thought carefully: "I originally thought Wei Gong was the most suitable candidate, but Wei Gong was sick, which made people embarrassed. For the smooth expedition and the glory of the Tang Dynasty, a leader is always needed." Only those who are not as capable as Duke Wei can lead the army!"

Chu Suiliang and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this. There are still people in the court who are not as capable as Duke Wei?

You should find one and let everyone have a look!

If anyone's ability to lead an army is inferior to that of Duke Wei, do you still need to be so entangled?

Wei Zheng also couldn't help being slightly startled, although it suddenly dawned on him that there really is a person in this world who is not as capable as Li Jing in leading the army!

That is His Majesty today!

The question is, what did Cheng Yaojin mean by saying suddenly today?

Could it be that you want His Majesty to fail in the conquest?

Are you kidding me, this is not a life-and-death battle of the Tang Dynasty, so why do you need His Majesty's personal conquest?

In the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, the emperor did not personally conquest. This was just to save Silla. Is there any need for the imperial conquest?

And this is not a question of need or need, as an emperor, it is related to the country and the country, can he take risks lightly?

Just when Wei Zheng's thoughts were churning, Li Shimin asked, "Oh? Is there anyone in the court who can't be a pharmacist?"

Li Jing is recognized as the No.1 general in the world today, who else can lead the army better than Li Jing?

Yuchi Gong scratched his head and said, "Of course it is Your Majesty!"

As soon as Yu Chigong finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Chu Suiliang and the others were not stupid, they couldn't understand what the emperor, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong meant when they heard this.

Wei Zheng shouted in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Lu and Duke E actually encouraged Your Majesty to conquest in person, they deserve to be punished!"

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin were taken aback when they heard that, what the old thief Wei Zheng said was too harsh, what happened to Yu Jia's personal Zheng?Has Your Majesty fought few battles in his life?

Li Shimin was not surprised at all, because he had expected the opposition from Wei Zheng and others.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I feel that what Zhijie and Jingde said is reasonable. I am really worried that the pharmacist is sick. If I go to march personally, it will definitely boost morale."

"Your Majesty is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he is in charge of the people and the country. How can he drive himself to conquer and risk himself?"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and others came out one after another to persuade them.

Li Shimin got up and said with a proud smile: "It's just an eastward expedition to Goguryeo. Thinking back to when I scolded Fang Qiu and ruled the world, what is the eastward expedition to Goguryeo?"

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, time has changed. Back then, Your Majesty was a Prince. Unifying the world was the responsibility given to Your Majesty by God. So Your Majesty led the army to fight. Now Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year King. Governing the world is the responsibility given to Your Majesty by God!"

Fang Xuanling remonstrated: "Yes, your majesty, the court affairs are busy, and your majesty should put the country as the most important thing. It is just a trivial matter to go east to Goguryeo and save Silla. How can your majesty take risks for this?"

……

Li Shimin stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Conquest of Goguryeo and the solution to the crisis of Silla. You have talked about the benefits in this issue, so I won't say any more!"

"Now that I have decided to conquer Goguryeo, I attach great importance to it. At the beginning, I also wanted to send a large general to lead the army. Now Goguryeo's army is attacking Silla."

"If my dynasty's army marches eastward, then Goguryeo's army will definitely return to aid and give up attacking Silla. So as long as I send troops to the dynasty, Silla will surely be saved!"

"However, since I have sent troops to the court, there must be a battle with Goguryeo. In my opinion, this battle is very important!"

"Why is it that when the Eastern Expedition is mentioned, there is a lot of discussion between the government and the public, and countless people are shocked. Goguryeo is a small country, what right does it have to make my subjects so fearful?"

"Because the three Eastern Expeditions in the former Sui Dynasty all returned without success, and there were countless casualties. The people in the Central Plains feared Goguryeo. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, they were afraid of well ropes!"

"Silla is my country under the Tang Dynasty. Why did Goguryeo dare to send troops to attack Silla? Isn't it because of the lack of respect for our Central Plains dynasty!"

"So, I think this battle is extremely important, because it is a battle to wash away the shame! I want all the people to hold their heads high in the face of any foreign country!"

For a while, the quiet needle dropping could be heard in the hall, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and other generals were even more excited, their faces turned red, they could not let Goguryeo be in awe, on the contrary, the subjects of Tang Dynasty were in awe of Goguryeo, this is the generals Shame!

Even Wei Zheng and others couldn't help being silent after hearing the emperor's words. They also had to admit that what the emperor said was indeed reasonable. Since they sent troops, they should obey Goguryeo and show the confidence of the people of Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this battle is indeed very important, if it wasn't for the emperor's personal conquest, it would be great!

I don't know if Li Jing is really sick or if he is afraid of leading the army because of his high achievements.

Yu Shinan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is right. The Great Eastern Expedition is indeed very important to the Tang Dynasty. However, the Duke of England and the King of Hejian County are all famous generals in the world. On the other hand, there are no famous generals in Goguryeo. Why bother His Majesty to go on the expedition? "

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Mao Gong and others followed me to fight in the north and south. Of course they are famous generals, but I still don't feel relieved!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin glanced at Su Cheng and asked, "What do you think, Su Cheng?"

When Cheng Yaojin and the others heard this, it was as if they heard fairy sounds. They rushed to the front and were sprayed by Wei Zheng and the others. As a result, Su Cheng kept his head down and pretended to be dead. What's the matter?

Now the emperor directly opened his mouth to roll the roll. Seeing how Su Cheng kept his head down and pretended to be dead, Cheng Yaojin and the others felt a little gloating in their hearts for a while.
