Chapter 289 Recommending Hou Junji

"emperor."

"The Dang bandits are all cavalry, and they don't have much combat power in the southern border."

"In addition to wasting time, calling them will not have much effect." Li Zheng said immediately.

"Then where will we mobilize the troops?" Li Shimin looked worried.

"I do have a suggestion." Li Zheng smiled.

"explain."

Li Shimin said.

"General Hou Junji has one hundred thousand troops stationed in Liangzhou. If the troops are mobilized, it should take about a month to move them to the south." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Hear this.

Li Shimin smiled meaningfully: "What? Hou Junji and his group offended you to death, and now you actually recommend them?"

"It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, and everything is for my sake, the Tang Dynasty. How can I have prejudices in my heart." Li Zheng said with a serious face, just like a minister who truly cares about the country and the people.

"You're the only one who doesn't understand me yet?" Li Shimin smiled angrily.

With the character of his own prince, as long as he is offended to death and there is no room for relaxation, he will almost kill him with a painful blow and will never show mercy. That is why Kong Xian was treated so badly by his prince.

The reason why Hou Junji and his group were recommended was because their relationship with Li Zheng had eased and they had been together for so long. Li Zhenye could see that Hou Junji had really admitted his mistake. Otherwise, even if Li Zheng recommended him, it would be useless. No 2.
"Okay, just do it your way."

"I will summon Hou Junji and ask him to lead his troops to the south." Li Shimin said with a smile.

And then.

Naturally, he also has deep meaning in his heart.

Li Zheng is the basis for the survival of Hou Junji and his group. On the battlefield, they will definitely protect him to the death.

This way he can feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Li Zheng said immediately.

"Daozong."

"You go back and prepare, and take Li Zheng with you to the southern border the day after tomorrow."

"Zhenla and Nanzhao should have started fighting now, but it will take time before the fight reaches the point where both sides will be hurt. You can also go back to the southern border to prepare first." Li Shimin said alone.

"My brother understands." Li Daozong nodded.

"Your Majesty, I will continue to review the memorial." Li Zheng said with a satisfied look on his face, his smile was like eating honey.

"You kid, go back and accompany Wan'er."

"Make it clear to Wan'er that I didn't ask you to go on the expedition, you went on your own."

Looking at Li Zheng's bright smiling face, Li Shimin scolded him angrily.

"Then you're welcome."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng stood up immediately.

He smiled and repeatedly raised his hands to Li Shimin.

Then he ran away quickly.

Looking at this cheerful pace, it was obvious that Li Zheng was also very excited at the moment.

"That stinky boy."

Looking at Li Zheng's back, Li Shimin also had a warm smile on his face.

After one pill lasted.

Only then did Li Shimin regain his composure: "The gathering of Chuanhou Jun."

"Old slave accepts the order." Wang De immediately accepted the order.

He quickly walked out of Tai Chi Hall and sent someone to deliver the order.

Soon.

The side hall of Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji is here to see the Emperor." Hou Junji walked in and saluted respectfully.

Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "Do you know what I asked you to do?

"I don't know."

Hou Junji looked confused, and he really didn't know anything.

Not long after he returned home, Wang De sent someone, which naturally made him uneasy.

"Li Zheng recommended you to lead the army, as well as the Shandong and Hebei warriors under your command." Li Shimin said slowly.

"Your Majesty, is there going to be another war in the Tang Dynasty?" Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, then looked ecstatic.

"Open up new territory and expand territory!"

Li Shimin spit out four words.

"You take your group of people to Liangzhou and transfer your troops to the south. I will really give you the imperial edict, the Tongguan ultimatum, and the military talismans."

"All you have to do is follow Li Zheng's orders. This time Li Zheng is the main general and you are the deputy." "Also, I don't want Li Zheng to be harmed in any way."

"If Li Zheng is injured on the battlefield, you are the only one I have to ask." Li Shimin said with strong warning.

Hou Junji knelt down directly and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that even if I die, General Li Zheng will not have any hair damage."

……

Leave from the palace.

Hou Junji returned to the house with an excited face.

He also ordered to quickly summon the generals from Shandong and Hebei to gather in the mansion.

When everyone has arrived.

They all looked at Hou Junji in confusion. Hou Junji summoned them with great enthusiasm today, as if something big had happened.

"Brother, what happened?"

Zhang Liang looked at Hou Junji and asked.

The others were the same, watching with bright eyes, very curious.

"A good thing, a great thing."

"This is our chance to turn around."

Hou Junji laughed and said.

Hear the words.

Everyone looked at Hou Junji with puzzled expressions.

Nowadays, they, the noble generals of Shandong and Hebei, are as miserable as they can be. They have no power, no influence, and even no title. They have almost become a laughing stock in the court.

But there was no way. Even though they had done something, if it hadn't been for the protection of the crown prince, they would not have just been deprived of their titles.

"Brother, just tell me quickly."

"What happened?"

"What a great thing, is the emperor going to restore our titles to us?"

"Speaking of which, our titles have been revoked for more than a year, and everyone in the civil and military courts is laughing at us."

"..."

Everyone was talking to each other, urging Hou Junji to speak quickly.

"The title has not been restored."

"But the emperor asked us to go to Liangzhou to mobilize troops." Hou Junji smiled and said.

"Is there going to be another war?" Wang Junkuo asked excitedly.

"good."

Hou Junji nodded.

"Great."

"Finally we have a chance to come forward."

"The Emperor has not forgotten us."

"With this battle, we will be able to achieve military exploits and restore our title."

"Brother, where is the war?"

Everyone immediately said excitedly.

These generals are naturally happy except when there is a war. This is the only place where they can obtain military exploits. If there is no war, then they are of little use.

"It will be kept secret for now."

"Anyway, we will leave for Liangzhou the day after tomorrow."

"I will tell you the mission when we get there." Hou Junji said with a smile.

"Yes."

All the generals responded one after another.

"Do you know why the emperor asked us to lead the troops this time?" Hou Junji suddenly changed his voice.

"Why?" Everyone looked at Hou Junji again.

"Because of Li Zheng's recommendation."

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten this opportunity at all." Hou Junji said with a smile.

Hear this.

All the generals in Shandong and Hebei were inexplicably surprised.

I didn’t expect it to be recommended by Li Zheng.

"Are you all surprised?"
