Chapter 238: Candidates for the main general

Li Er thought about it again and again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Chengqian's words, so he agreed that what Li Chengqian said was reasonable. Flash Dance

"What the prince said! It was very sincere, so he sent a partial teacher into Goguryeo according to the prince's words, mainly to harass Goguryeo. ”

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I chase, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight, this sixteen-character mantra, every word is beautiful, in order to disturb Goguryeo, and my Tang Dynasty will destroy Goguryeo just around the corner."

"Everyone, Aiqing! I wonder what I think about this? Or what is the opinion on the prince's advice! Li Er asked.

"The words of the Prince! No objection! The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to speak.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Jin King Li Zhi, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Yang Shidao, Yu Chi Jingde, and Cheng Yanjin followed closely and stood up to express their position.

"The ministers seconded it!" The remaining ministers saw that several bigwigs did not object, so they all stood up and agreed, and they all agreed.

Even if someone has other ideas in their hearts at this time, they don't dare to say it at this time, and everyone agrees with interest.

Li Er was very happy, and the more Li Chengqian performed well, the more Li Er felt that his face was bright, and he was more satisfied with the prince in his heart.

"There's a plan! But who is going to be suitable? We need to reconsider! "The eldest grandson Wuji said, the selection will be very important.

"If you have any suitable candidates in mind, you might as well say them and let me see them. 35xs," Li Er said.

"The minister thinks that Zhang Shigui, the general of the left leading army, is suitable, and I especially recommend Zhang Shigui, the prince of the country." The eldest grandson Wuji recommended Zhang Shigui.

Zhang Shigui is a generation of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, and he is a person trusted by Li Er, not a despicable and shameless person who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, persecuts the loyal and good, and even rebels as the later generations say.

Zhang Shigui is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and after the change of Xuanwumen, Zhang Shigui is even more trusted by Li Er.

Since Li Er ascended the throne as emperor, he ordered Zhang Shigui to be the "head of the Xuanwu Gate", which was to prevent the Xuanwu Gate change from being staged again.

Soon after, Li Er asked Zhang Shigui to serve as the general of Zuotunwei, and also entrusted the Northern Army to appoint him, which was equivalent to the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard.

This is enough to see Li Er's trust and respect for Zhang Shigui.

"Father! Erchen thinks it's inappropriate! Li Chengqian came out of the line and saluted.

"Prince! Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Kingdom of Yu, was a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, who made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and even went on an expedition to Goguryeo with His Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

It is not unreasonable for the eldest grandson Wuji to say this, after all, Zhang Shigui has fought Goguryeo with Li Er, and he knows the terrain there very well.

Let Zhang Shigui lead the division to expedition to Goguryeo, Li Er was unwilling in his heart, after all, the importance of guarding the Xuanwu Gate Li Er knows better than anyone else, and with Zhang Shigui guarding the Xuanwu Gate, Li Er can sleep peacefully. 35xs

"Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, is now very old, and his sons are worried that it will be difficult for him to go back and forth, not to mention, the matter of guarding the Xuanwu Gate is very important, and people who are not trusted by His Majesty are not enough to take on this important responsibility."

"Guarding the Xuanwu Gate and commanding the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, except for Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Kingdom of Qiu, who else can take on this important task."

"Besides, the generals who accompanied His Majesty on the expedition to Goguryeo were not the only ones who went to Goguryeo, so why bother to let the Duke of Yu go back and forth." Li Chengqian said.

In addition to worrying that Zhang Shigui was old and might even die halfway if he was not good, Li Chengqian actually planned to send his military generals from the East Palace to do this.

First, it can train them, and second, it can allow them to establish prestige in the army, which is conducive to Li Chengqian's control of the Tang Dynasty army in the future.

The prince is hiding his selfishness this time, and he is bent on giving himself the opportunity to experience and reap benefits.

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless for a while when Li Chengqian said this, no matter what, what they said was right.

There is really no one more suitable to guard the Xuanwu Gate than Zhang Shigui, the leader of the forbidden army.

"What the prince said is very true, there are many generals who have gone on expeditions to Goguryeo, and it is not necessary for Zhang Shigui!"

"Even if I didn't follow me on an expedition to Liaodong, with my great Tang Dynasty and a lot of talents, I'm afraid that no generals can do it." Li Er said.

Li Er already has candidates in his heart, and he thinks that these people are quite suitable, Niu Jinda, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the current prince Zhan Shi, Tejin, and Li Ji, the third rank of Tongzhongshu.

Li Er planned to let the two of them be the commanders, and each lead a partial division to go deep into Goguryeo to attack and harass, so that Goguryeo would not be at peace.

The two of them followed their expedition to Goguryeo, and they were very familiar with Goguryeo's geography, mountains, rivers, etc.

It's perfect for the two of them! No one would be a better fit than these two guys.

"Niu Jinda, Li Ji!" Li Er directly ordered the two of them.

Niu Jinda and Li Ji understood that the emperor was planning for them to attack Goguryeo, so they immediately stood up.

"The minister is here!" The two spoke in unison.

"The edict ordered Niu Jinda, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to be the general of the Qingqiu Road march, and the general of Zuo Wuhou, Li Haihai, was the deputy of more than 10,000 troops, and crossed the sea from Laizhou to Goguryeo by boat." Li Er said.

"The minister's cow has reached the command!" Niu Jinda Road.

"The edict ordered the crown prince Zhan Shi Li Ji to be the general manager of the march of Liaodong Road, and Sun Erlang, the general of the Right Military Guard, was the deputy, leading 3,000 troops, and joined the soldiers of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion to enter Goryeo from Xincheng Road." Li Er issued another edict.

"Obey the order!" Li Ji hurriedly saluted.

The main and deputy generals of the two roads have been selected, and Li Er is relieved, with the two of them here, Li Er can sit back and relax.

These two soldiers and horses are all selected soldiers who are accustomed to water and are good at water warfare.

Li Chengqian also took the opportunity to recommend Xue Rengui to Li Er, and this time Li Chengqian asked Xue Rengui to go to the Korean Peninsula, in fact, there was another purpose.

Yi Er also had people draft an edict ordering Silla and Baekje to cooperate with Niu Jinda, Yi Ji and others to attack Goguryeo.

Silla and Baekje had a feud with Goguryeo, and naturally hoped to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Goguryeo.

In this way, Silla and Baekje had the opportunity to annex the territory of Goguryeo.

From a three-legged situation to a situation of equal division of the world.

"Zhong Aiqing still has something to do?" Li Er asked politely.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Wang Yuan stepped forward and shouted a classic line: "If you have something to play, you have nothing to retreat!" ”

"Tang Dynasty!" After waiting for a while, no one has come forward, and the meeting can be declared over!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

In the congratulations of the ministers, Li Er got up and left the Taiji Palace, and the early dynasty officially ended.

After the emperor left, these people could get up, walk out of the Taiji Palace, and go back to their respective offices to work.

A month later, Niu Jinda, Li Ji and others, who had been prepared, advanced to the hinterland of Goguryeo according to the established route.
