The reason why Li Zhi asked this was because Yuli Khan still held an official position in the Tang Dynasty, and it was supported by the Tang Dynasty to balance Xue Yantuo.

It's good now! Not only was he unable to appease his subordinates and became a loner, let alone thinking about him to balance Xue Yantuo!

Tong Lidu has become a loner, what else can he use to balance Xue Yantuo!

In Li Zhi's view, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, Tong Li failed to do the errand assigned by the emperor, which was dereliction of duty.

As a Turkic khan, it is even more dereliction of duty, a khan who cannot even control his own people has no value, it is better to choose another spokesman among the Turks.

Li Chengqian felt that Li Er would definitely be promoted to the rank of official of Li, and that Li was also the Khan of the Turks no matter how he said it, and leaving him to give favors would be more conducive to appeasing the Turks.

If the profits are taken away because of this, if they are used by people with ulterior motives, it is very likely to cause turmoil.

Therefore, Tong Li still has his value.

"King Jin, what do you think should be done with the Khan?" Li Er did not answer directly, but asked Li Zhi rhetorically.

"This, the sons and daughters thought that the Khan was derelict in his duties and had failed the high expectations of the court and his father, and should be severely punished according to the law."

"But after all, he has done his best for the court for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and for the sake of his many years of service, the son thinks that he should be sent lightly."

"Tong Li is guilty of dereliction of duty, and he has served the imperial court for many years, and his father can issue an edict to condemn Tong Li." Li Zhi's benevolence was manifested at this moment.

But whether Li Zhi is as benevolent as he appears, Li Chengqian remains skeptical.

Li Zhi in history is a ruthless person with a black belly, Li Zhi's main palace Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in the side room ended up miserable, and he didn't even say a word.

"If it is profitable, I have other arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it!" Li Er said that he had planned to wait for Tong Li to arrive in Luoyang, and then appoint Tong Li as the general of the Right Military Guard.

After all, he is the Khan of the Turks, and he knows more about the customs of the Turks, and it is more beneficial for him to manage the Turks to pacify the Turks.

To put it bluntly, the Khan was a signboard used to appease the Turks.

To solve the problem of dealing with Jili, the topic naturally returns to the preparations for this Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, after all, there is only half a month left now!

If you can't prepare enough supplies within half a month, how can you go to crusade against Goguryeo.

After everything was ready, Li Er would set off from Luoyang and go to Youzhou, and then lead all the soldiers and horses gathered in Youzhou to attack Goguryeo.

Counting all the soldiers, the total strength of Li Er's crusade against Goguryeo this time reached more than 100,000.

This time Li Er's expedition to the east is inevitable!

"Hubu, how is the grain and grass prepared?" Li Er asked.

The household officials came out and saluted: "Your Majesty! More than 200,000 troops have been hoarded in the territory of Youzhou, which is needed for half a year, and the rest of the grain and grass have been requisitioned from all over the country and are being transported to Youzhou. ”

"You must step up the delivery of grain and grass, and when I arrive in Youzhou, you must hoard enough for the army for a year, and there must be no mistake!"

"If you dare to be lazy, I will punish your sins, and I will not spare them!" Li Er said.

Li Er felt that this bit of grain and grass was still not enough, so he had to prepare a year's worth of food, so that he could be guaranteed.

The three armies did not move the grain and grass first! Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the entire army, the resource to ensure the combat strength of the army, and the most important.

If the food and grass are not prepared enough, it is easy to cause the army to have no food to eat!

In that case, who will fight desperately, and the lack of food is easy to cause mutiny among the soldiers, so whenever they go to war, grain and grass are ranked first.

Without food and grass, no matter how well prepared the rest is, it will be in vain.

"Obey orders!" The household officials saluted.

Prepare the army for a year in half a month, although the time is urgent, but it is not impossible, it is a big deal to send more people to transport grain and grass.

"General Young Eunuch Li Daoyu, how are the preparations for military equipment, weapons and other equipment?" Li Er looked at Li Daoyudao, who would be the young eunuch.

Li Daoyu came out of class and saluted: "Your Majesty! The armor, military bows, crossbows, and crossbow carts have all been prepared, and they have just been transported to Youzhou the day before yesterday. ”

"There are hundreds of large ships and 700 small boats, and if they are used to transport grain and grass, they can transport more than 100,000 stone of grain and grass at a time." Will be the young eunuch Li Daoyu Daodao.

During this expedition to Goguryeo, Li Er planned to transport grain and grass for the army by water and land.

Once one of them is intercepted by the enemy, or in case of any emergency, there will be no food for the army, and there is no need to worry about lack of food.

As for the specific operation, it has nothing to do with Li Er, he is only responsible for assigning the task, and how to carry out this task is a problem for the relevant officials.

As long as Li Er ensures that the grain and grass can be delivered to the front line on time, he doesn't care about the rest, and how to operate it is a problem for the relevant officials.

"Good!" Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't want anything to go wrong in this Eastern Crusade!" It is bound to destroy Goguryeo, and I still need a logistics manager to share my worries! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! Who do you think is the right person to take on the position of logistics director? Let's talk about it! ”

The ministers bowed their heads and were silent, all thinking in their hearts about who should be recommended to be the logistics manager.

Managing the logistical support of an expedition of more than 100,000 troops is not an easy task, and it is easy to become emaciated and die suddenly if you have to spend no amount of energy.

If the people recommended are improper, and there is any dereliction of duty or the like, it is strange that Li Er still picks their skins.

Therefore, they need to think carefully about this matter.

"What? Don't you have the right candidate? Li Er muttered in his heart when he saw that everyone was not talking.

What's going on? Isn't it so difficult for Datang to recommend individuals to be the head of logistics management?

It is not impossible to say that there are no experts in handling internal affairs, but it is really not possible for anyone to handle such a large workload by personally handling everything in detail.

Seeing that no one was willing to recommend, Cen Wenwen planned to stand up and recommend himself and take over the post of logistics manager.

Before he could get up, as soon as his butt left his seat, Li Chengqian took the first step to speak: "Father! Erchen has a suitable candidate here. ”

Now that the prince has spoken, Cen Wenwen has no choice but to sit back down, it is too unwise to compete with the prince.

Now it is different from the past, in the past, he supported Li Tai, but now Li Tai has become a thing of the past, and no one can shake Li Chengqian's position as the prince.

If he Cen Wenwen still can't get along with Li Chengqian, without Li Chengqian's hands, Li Er will find a reason to deal with him!

The left and right are all for the sake of profit, and following the prince is not necessarily a bad thing.
