That night, as soon as he returned home, Chen's house closed the door, claiming that Chen Fei was sick, and on the way home, he blew a cold wind and contracted wind cold, and after the doctor's diagnosis, he could not get out of bed in recent days and needed to recuperate.

The marriage with the princess was all handed over to the housekeeper Sun Deyi, and Chen Fei needed to recuperate.

On the second day, the Silla envoys asked to see Li Shimin in the court, officially handed over a letter of help from the Silla queen, explained the cause and effect of the matter, and asked Li Shimin to send troops.

Li Shimin did not hesitate too much, and immediately decided to send troops to Goguryeo and fight with Silla.

Obviously, this was an impulsive decision made by Li Shimin, and naturally it was opposed by the civil and military officials of the current dynasty, and the matter of sending troops was not at most for the time being, and it was necessary to consider it in the long run.

Although Chen Fei complained of illness at home, he was still very clear about some things that happened in the DPRK, because he had a "small eyeliner".

"Brother Zicheng, since you are not sick, why do you pretend to be sick at home? Is it to avoid not marrying my sister? All right! I'm going to tell my sister and father to go! Li Zhi originally thought that he was really sick after hearing that Chen Fei was sick, and rushed from Chang'an City to visit him, but found that Chen Fei was not sick, but resting at home, and was immediately arrested by him, shouting that he wanted to go to Linchuan and Li Shimin to complain.

Chen Fei had a big headache about this, and cursed Sun Deyi ten thousand times in his heart. Didn't you say that you didn't see any guests behind closed doors, why did you still let this little ancestor in?

Sun Deyi saw that Chen Fei's face was wrong, he laughed, and smeared oil on the soles of his feet... Slipped,

"Damn Sun Deyi!" Chen Fei stomped his feet hatefully, and he was crazy, but when he saw that Li Zhi was still stunned, he was like a child who was caught doing bad things, and his heart was extremely weak.

"What's the matter with Your Highness?" Chen Fei listlessly beckoned Li Zhi to sit down.

"Hey, how do you know I'm here?"

Chen Fei glanced at Li Zhi blankly, as if he was looking at two fools.

Li Zhi was young, had little experience, and was relatively simple, and soon forgot about Chen Fei pretending to be sick, but told Chen Fei what happened in the court today.

"Because of this, I guess I will send troops in the end." Chen Fei buckled his nose and said nonchalantly.

Li Zhi's curiosity came up instantly, sat upright, and asked humbly: "Please also ask Brother Zicheng for advice." ”

"Your Highness, please look at the map." Chen Fei took a map and laid it out in front of Li Zhi, pointed to Goguryeo and said, "What does Your Highness think Goguryeo looks like?" ”

"Like what?" Li Zhi frowned and stared at it for a while, and said suspiciously: "Like... Resemble... Like what? Li Zhi threw the question back to Chen Fei in confusion.

Chen Fei angrily knocked on Li Zhi's head, pointed to the map and emphasized, "It's like meat!" It's like a piece of fat to your mouth! Do you think the border of our Tang Dynasty is like a mouth, biting the fat of Goguryeo? ”

Li Zhi took a closer look and was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world: "Huh? It's really like that, it seems that it's really a mouth biting a piece of meat, Brother Zicheng's heart is careful, and he admires it a lot. ”

Well, although the little kid is a little stupid, his attitude is still very correct, he is not arrogant or impatient, it is worth cultivating, and Chen Fei is very useful.

"Goguryeo is like fat meat on the side of the mouth, anyone who sees such a piece of fat meat on the side of their mouth will not be able to sleep, thinking about it day and night, Your Highness, are you right?"

Li Zhi nodded, "Well, it makes sense, so my father thinks so too?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty must have thought so too, so he agreed to send troops without much thought. Because before this, His Majesty had always lacked a reason to send troops, and he didn't want to risk the world's condemnation and rashly send troops, but now that the Queen of Silla has come to ask for help, His Majesty also has a reason to send troops, so he wants to take this opportunity to capture Goguryeo. Merely...... His Majesty will encounter great resistance, and I am afraid that many ministers in the DPRK and China will vigorously oppose this matter. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zhi nodded again and again, "Brother Zicheng said a lot, there are indeed many ministers in the DPRK... No, almost all the ministers were against it, and my father angrily dismissed today's court meeting. ”

"It's normal, if you think about how the previous dynasty perished, you can understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers, this is to dissuade Your Majesty, don't work hard and lose money, and squander the national strength that has been accumulated with great difficulty like the previous dynasty."

"But..."Li Zhi stared at the map and said strangely: "Goguryeo is such a small place, it stands to reason that it should be an easy thing to attack, such a large Xue Yantuo tribe has been wiped out by us, why is there nothing to do about this small Goguryeo?" ”

Li Zhi was puzzled, so he had to ask Chen Fei for help.

Chen Fei remembers that his history teacher discussed this issue with them when he was in school before, and he happened to discuss it with Li Zhi today.

Sooner or later in the future, Li Zhi will step onto the stage of history and create a world that belongs to him, what Chen Fei wants to do is to cultivate Li Zhi as much as possible, and cultivate him into a thoughtful and thoughtful Ming Jun, rather than an ignorant and wastewood emperor who only knows pleasure and playfulness.

Of course, judging from the current foundation of Li Zhi, it should be a very good piece of jade, which is worth cultivating.

"Your Highness, you might as well think about it, think about the differences between the Xue Yantuo tribe in the north, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, Goguryeo Silla and other countries, if you figure it out, the answer will naturally be known."

Chen Fei asked questions in the form of inducement, and Li Zhi stared at several places on the map, lost in thought.

Seeing that Li Zhixiao's brows were furrowed, but he didn't come up with a reason, Chen Fei said again: "Your Highness, think about the biggest difficulties we encountered when we were at war with these countries, this is the most critical place. ”

Li Zhi still frowned and pondered, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the territory of the original Xue Yantuo tribe in the north and said: "The northern people are highly mobile, and they rely on a momentum to fight, often relying on cavalry, a round of charge will rush our battle array, and it is difficult to resist the battle on the plain, but the weakness is siege and defense, once the cavalry does not break through the battle formation, but is besieged, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is not as good as an infantry, and what awaits them is only defeat and escape."

As for the Western Regions... Although the cavalry and infantry in the Western Regions are strong, they are defeated on the battlefield, lacking excellent generals to command, and there is not much cooperation between the soldiers. ”

Chen Fei nodded slightly after listening, the analysis was not bad, but he still didn't grasp the key point.

"As for Goguryeo...... On the plain warfare is not as good as the cavalry of the Xue Yantuo tribe, and on the melee is not as good as the small countries in the Western Regions, they.... They seem to be relatively stable...... Belch...... I don't know what to say about Goguryeo, because the war waged against them by the previous dynasty is difficult to judge because of the tyranny of the previous emperor. ”

Chen Fei shook his head slightly and smiled: "Your Highness, you have overlooked a very important thing, and it is also a point that many people ignore, Goguryeo's advantage is not in other things, but in their sufficient supply of grain and grass!" ”
