Now the commanders of the north and south roads have been selected, namely Tai Shici and Yu Ban. This result was unexpected, so it was natural for a group of civil officials to be cheated by Yuan Chang. It's a pity that Yuan Chang and Guo Jia didn't have time to be happy, so Cai Yan and Cai Yong's father and daughter joined forces to fight back, and the bets from the hands of civil officials were not enough to compensate Cai Yong for a fraction. The most pitiful is Guo Jia, the two of them are fighting, he got involved, and he lost five taels of gold, relying on his money, I don't know what year and month it will take to repay.

The matter has passed, and Yuan Chang and Guo Jia are no longer entangled, and continue to discuss who should be the political commissar of the Second Route Soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there is a recommended candidate for the political commissar of the soldiers and horses of the North and South Routes?"

The political commissar, of course, is served by a civilian official, and the military generals will naturally not participate, but this time, it is the turn of a military general to come and see the excitement. Just now, the civilian officials were very happy to see them competing for the post of commander of the Second Route Army, and this time, it was their turn to enjoy the performance of the civilian officials.

Excluding Guo Jia, the general political commissar of the temporary headquarters, there are only a few people who have the qualifications to serve as political commissars. Chen Gong, Xun Chen, Dong Zhao, Guan Li, Guan Jing and a few others, there are not many people who can be selected. Moreover, after experiencing a painful lesson just now, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia did not die again, what kind of bet did they make, so that the generals shouted, this is a rare opportunity to peel off the skin of Yuan Chang, a miser, a hundred times the reward, just a few candidates, anyone will choose the right person. It's a pity that Yuan Chang and Guo Jia didn't give them a chance, which made them regretful.

In fact, in fact, there is no need for everyone to recommend, and the candidates are already obvious.

Not long after Chen Gong joined Yuan Chang's side, although he had already begun to receive training for political commissar work, he was not fully trained. If it was only a few thousand troops, he might be able to handle it. It's just that now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses all the way, and Chen Gong does not dare to take over this important task; and Xun Chen and Dong Zhao, although they have long been trained in political commissar work, their main responsibility is to focus on internal affairs, and unless there is a shortage of manpower, they will be allowed to concurrently serve as political commissars. Therefore, the final candidates are only Guan Li and Guan Jing.

Guan Li and Guan Jing originally started their work as political commissars, assisting Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Ran respectively. has rich work experience, and the two of them have also received systematic training from Yuan Chang, there is no doubt that the political commissar candidate for the second route soldier and horse this time is naturally the most suitable for the two of them.

As a result, Guan Li and Guan Jing were unanimously recognized by everyone and obtained the position of military political commissar.

After Yuan Chang waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, he said, "Okay, now the commander and political commissar of the Second Route Soldiers and Horses have already had results. The remaining two deputy commanders and deputy political commissars of each line of soldiers and horses will be selected by the army commanders and political commissars themselves, and they will not be elected here. On this expedition, I will march with the army, and it is bound to solve the problem of Goguryeo once and for all. However, Feng Xiao and I stayed in Beijing for the time being, and waited for Xu Shu and Jia Xu to arrive before catching up with the army. Therefore, before that, everything was decided by Commander Tai Shici, Commander Yu Ban, and the two political commissars Guan Li and Guan Jing, and all affairs in the army were subject to the orders of the two commanders, and they must not be disobeyed!"

"Subordinates obey!"

The main reason why Yuan Chang did not set off with the army was naturally to stay in Beijing and wait for the arrival of Jia Xu or Xu Shu to show his importance to the two of them. Moreover, if the two of them arrived, Yuan Chang would also have to be appeased, after all, they were coerced into Beijing. In addition, it is also because the distance from Beijing City to Liaodong County, which borders Goguryeo, is nearly 1,500 miles, and it takes nearly a month to walk according to the speed of the march. Yuan Chang and Guo Jia then set off, and naturally they didn't have to spend so much time on the light car, so they didn't have to suffer from the fatigue of traveling and driving. Of course, Yuan Chang is not incapable of hardship, and now that he has this reason, he stayed, if under normal circumstances, Yuan Chang naturally wouldn't mind setting off with the army.

"The lord has a wonderful plan!"

Yuan Chang's voice only fell for a moment, and Guo Jia suddenly praised it, which made Yuan Chang confused. He's just waiting for the arrival of talents, and at the same time a little lazy, how can it be called a stratagem?

"Previously, the subordinates thought that the main guild would focus on Karasuma and Eastern Xianbei, however, they did not expect that it was Goguryeo who really planned for the lord. Therefore, the enemy obviously would not have guessed that the main guild valued Goguryeo so much that it did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to aspire to Goguryeo. The lord is now staying in the city of Beijing, and the commander of the army Tai Shi Ci and the commander of the forbidden army in the city of Yu can also cover up the purpose of this expedition, and will definitely be able to take Goguryeo by surprise; in addition, the stay of the lord in the city of Beijing can also make Karasuma and the eastern Xianbei dare not act rashly and delay the timing of their attack. The lord's plan is really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone, and his subordinates admire it!"

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Yuan Chang thought that he still had these benefits of staying in Beijing City. Of course, he naturally didn't stand up and say that he hadn't thought of these things before, but happily accepted the praise of his subordinates.

After the pretense was over, Yuan Chang looked at Zhao Yun, Xun Chen, and Dong Zhao and said, "Zilong, Youruo, Gongren, this time we will leave Beijing City, and the affairs of Youzhou will be handled by the three of you." Other things are not too important, the key is the matter of the Shuntian Alliance. If the Shuntian Alliance attacks, you will leave and withdraw from the city of Beijing, focusing on saving your life, and not defending the city. The victory of the war does not depend on the gains and losses of one city or one pool, but depends on the final result. As long as people are still there, victory will be ours sooner or later!"

"Yes, the subordinates must obey the orders of the lord!"

This time on the expedition to Goguryeo, Zhao Yun sat in Youzhou, and Ye Gucheng, Ximen Fuxue, Nanhua, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others guarded in Beijing. Once the master of the Shuntian Alliance appears, with the intelligence of Diao Xiu'er's intelligence brigade, he will definitely be able to find out as soon as possible, and Zhao Yun and the others will also have enough time to withdraw from Beijing City as quickly as possible. Now that he knows the location of the general alliance and the thirteen sub-alliances of the Shuntian Alliance, Diao Xiu'er has asked the soldiers of the intelligence brigade to keep an eye on the vicinity. Of course, there is also the most critical point, that is, Yuan Chang learned from Li Tongtian's several Dark Pavilion elders that the next attack of the Shuntian Alliance will not be so fast, and it is necessary to make full preparations and arrangements, and after carefully understanding and analyzing Yuan Chang's strength, he will send out manpower to attack Yuan Chang, and the time it will take will be at least a year. Yuan Chang and Guo Jia also analyzed that a year's time, in addition to the time spent back and forth, was enough for the soldiers of Youzhou to level Goguryeo for a few rounds. Based on these considerations, Yuan Chang decided to go to Goguryeo with his army.

And the reason why Yuan Chang wanted to go to Goguryeo was also for a reason, not because he was full and had nothing to do.

Since its establishment, Goguryeo has been exterminated by the Central Plains several times. At first, it was Cao Cao who destroyed Goguryeo, of course, it was not clean, so that Goguryeo was revived; secondly, Yang Jian and Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo also ended in failure; it was not until Li Tang completely destroyed Goguryeo, and it was more due to internal reasons on the Korean Peninsula that Goguryeo perished. Otherwise, no one knows whether Goguryeo will survive for how long and how much trouble it will bring to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Yuan Chang went to Goguryeo with the army this time to completely solve Goguryeo. Not only to destroy the country, but also to rule the people of this land completely, and not to give them a chance to resurrect again. As for how to solve this problem, it is natural to arrive at this land in person and understand the situation before making a decision. And this is also the reason why Yuan Chang wants to go in person. Otherwise, with such a big enemy as the Shuntian Alliance eyeing him by his side, how could Yuan Chang easily leave Beijing City.

"Okay, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. Commander Tai Shi Ci and Commander Yu Ban, you will go and prepare, and three days later, set off for Liaodong County overnight. ”

"No!"

After the arrangements were made, Yuan Chang discussed the details with Guo Jia and the others again before returning to his mansion. Speaking of which, recently, he has been running around and busy with affairs, and he doesn't have much time to accompany Liu Xi and other women. When he first traveled to this era, he just didn't want to waste the identity of a time-traveler, and wanted to make a name for himself and leave a mark in history. Therefore, he kept a low profile and forbearance, from a county magistrate, to a county governor, to now a state pastor. Of course, the higher the position, the heavier the responsibility. Moreover, since he knew the existence of the Shuntian Alliance and his identity as a rebel, Yuan Chang's pressure became even stronger. Sometimes I think about it, in fact, being a time-traveler does not have to be so tiring, and it is also a good thing to simply live a life. Many traversers are not like this, either to be a rich man, or to be a powerful minister, or to be a hermit, and their lives are just as chic, not so tiring as they are to dominate the world. Moreover, if you don't fight for world dominance, the Shuntian Alliance will not target you. Of course, these thoughts were just fleeting in Yuan Chang's mind, since he had chosen this path, he would persist in going through thick and thin.

Yuan Chang walked towards Liu Xi's residence, and when he reached the door, he saw Liu Xi with his head in his hands, his face was full of sorrow, and he didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at Liu Xi's expression, Yuan Chang only felt sad in his heart, he didn't have much time to spend with Liu Xi recently, and it was really undeserved for her to be so lonely.

"Xi'er, you've lost a lot of weight lately, don't be tired, I'll be sad. Yuan Chang walked into Liu Xi's room, looked at Liu Xi's face, and said distressedly.

"Brother Chang, Xi'er is all right!"

Liu Xi smiled sweetly and said softly, but looked at Yuan Chang with concern, and said with a distressed face: "Brother Chang, it's you, you've lost a lot of weight these days." People can't help you with anything, it's useless at all. It's not as good as Zhaoji and Sister Xiu'er, they can all help you do something, only people are the most useless. ”

Yuan Chang stepped forward, hugged Liu Xi in his arms, and said tenderly: "Xi'er, everyone lives in this world and has the meaning of their existence. Zhao Ji and Xiu'er girls can do this, which means that God arranged it for them. Of course, my family's Xi'er is not useless, but has a huge effect!"

"Really?"

Liu Xi's two beautiful eyes were shining, like twinkling stars, and he looked at Yuan Chang with a smile, as if he wanted Yuan Chang to tell her what he meant by his existence.

Yuan Chang nodded again and again, and said seriously: "Of course, will I still lie to Xi'er? Xi'er, the meaning of your existence is to give me greater motivation to complete my goals, if there is no Xi'er, what is the use of me doing this, and who can I show it? Therefore, Xi'er, you are responsible for being beautiful at home, and Brother Chang is responsible for conquering the world, so that we can share the picturesque country together." ”

"Brother Chang..."

There are not many love words in these years, except for a few classic love words such as "Guan Guan Ju Dove" in the Book of Poetry, when did Liu Xi hear such a superb love story, when he heard Yuan Chang's words, he was speechless and choked, and his eyes were sparkling, staring at Yuan Chang affectionately.

Seeing this situation, how could Yuan Chang hold back, his index finger moved slightly, and slowly kissed Liu Xi's cherry lips.

"Woo..."

For a while, the two lips parted, looking at each other affectionately.

Yuan Chang looked at Liu Xi and said softly: "Xi'er, it just so happens that Brother Chang has nothing to do during this period of time, if you want to go anywhere, just tell me, I will be by your side." ”

"Brother Chang, thank you!"

Liu Xi stared at Yuan Chang's face and said softly, "Xi'er didn't help you with anything, and you have to be tired Brother Chang to be so lenient to me." Xi'er doesn't want to go anywhere, as long as Brother Chang can be by my side from time to time, Xi'er is already very satisfied in her heart. ”

"Fool!"

Yuan Chang gently scratched Liu Xi's nose, and without waiting for Liu Xi to refuse, he asked the soldiers to pull a carriage, and took Liu Xi alone, and he personally drove the carriage towards the outside of Beijing. With Yuan Chang's existence, what could hurt them, so Yuan Chang did not let the soldiers follow and disturb their two-person world. After playing for half a day, it was not until the sun went down that Yuan Chang returned to Beijing with Liu Xi, who was still in the mood.

After dinner, the two of them naturally inevitably had a big war, which was delicious, but it was not enough for outsiders.

On the third day, Tai Shici and Yu Ban also selected the officers and soldiers at all levels, and 50,000 soldiers and horses on each road, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly left Beijing City and marched towards Liaodong County. (To be continued.) )
