Chapter 593: The Faint King of the Dog's Day
"The minister should be the chief of the conquest and the chief of the Changhae Road march to attack Goguryeo and Baekje by sea?" Wu Yuanqing's mouth was wide open and he could eat his fists.
Li Shimin nodded, and Wu Yuanqing understood the meaning expressed in his eyes, that is right, you kid is not having auditory hallucinations, how about it, my emperor's grace is vast, are you time to receive the decree and thank you.
Wu Yuanqing was struck by lightning, and felt that he had been scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Turning his head left and right, he looked at the other parties, and saw that they were always arguing non-stop, and they were avoiding their gaze, looking at their noses and noses, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.
Nima, this is a national event, do you want to be so childish.
Two days ago, it was decided that Li Ji, Xue Wanche and other military giants who have been famous for a long time and have made great achievements in war are now pressed on my special head.
Do you want to be so irresponsible, do you want to shrink your head and don't speak like a turtle, this Nima is a good army to fight, and it is good to die if you want to fight, can you say a word?
A bunch of dead people.
Dusk Jun, Shechen.
Wu Yuanqing found that he was so isolated and helpless, and no one came out to oppose the emperor's chaotic life, and he began to curse in his heart.
What Wu Yuanqing didn't know was that the ministers were sweeping him with the corners of their eyes, and it was full of pity, boy, you should be wronged, and it depends on the destiny of heaven to win or lose.
We can't object, if we want to oppose it again, Your Majesty will have to drive the expedition in person, the generals have been sent out, and half of the army has been transferred to the grassland, except for those who need to guard the place, now we can only make up 50,000 troops, plus 20,000 sailors and horses on the seaside.
With these 70,000 horses, there are not a few generals to follow, but they don't dare to let His Majesty drive the expedition in person.
His Majesty also said that Goguryeo must be fought, and now I can't find anyone who can rest assured to lead the troops, count and count, and you can use it, you have the experience of leading the troops, and you are especially familiar with the naval battles of the naval division, so it is either Your Majesty or you, choose one of the two, you have no choice, you can only go.
"Do you have any requirements, if you don't ask for anything, go down and prepare." Li Shimin was very unhappy when he saw that Wu Yuanqing was stunned and didn't say anything.
Full of resentment, I thought, stupid boy has such a good opportunity, if it weren't for these bastards below who didn't agree to my relatives, where would it be your turn to pick up the cheap.
"What, the minister asked to prepare more gunpowder and cannonballs for the sailors." It's a foregone conclusion, Wu Yuanqing knows that he can't oppose it, and it's impossible not to accept it, so he can only ask for more ammunition to enhance his strength, and he doesn't have a lot of money to worry about.
"You don't have to worry about this, the gunpowder shells equipped by the sailors are always full, enough for you to fight for several months." Li Shimin said this, in fact, he had the idea of attacking Goguryeo last year, and it was the idea to let the sailor escort the grain to the north.
Therefore, as early as the beginning of the year, when he had not set off from Chang'an, he had ordered someone to escort a large number of gunpowder shells to Langya.
The reason why he opened his eyes and said nonsense in front of the hundred officials was just because he didn't want the hundred officials to know that he had planned to attack Goguryeo and Baekje, otherwise, the emperor of the dignified suzerain, Tian Khan, was thinking about attacking the vassal state every day, and the hundred officials were not allowed to write a letter to persuade him to die.
"Then, the minister attacks from the sea, whoever attacks on land can't rely on the sailors alone." Wu Yuanqing asked again.
"The head of the march of Liaodong Road is Su Dingfang, the general of Zhonglang, Cheng Chumo, the head of the march of Pyongyang Road, and the head of the march of Wofu Road, Captain Chi Baolin." Li Shimin said.
Yes, as soon as I heard these candidates, in addition to Su Dingfang, who has always been very good, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin have never been in charge alone, and they have always followed the military giants as a pioneer, as a deputy of a deputy or something.
The key is that these two goods are more often in charge of the palace guards and commanders, leading the troops to fight, although it is a family heirloom, but Wu Yuanqing feels very unreliable.
It's really no one to use it, and they actually sent these two goods.
However, it can also be seen from here that in the eyes of Li Shimin and his ministers, Xue Yantuo on the grassland who can directly endanger the hinterland of Guanzhong is a big problem, while Goguryeo and Baekje are just scabies in their eyes.
Otherwise, if you really attach importance to it, you should transfer two senior officers from the army to come, although there are many sent to the grassland, but it is not impossible to draw them, it just takes some time to come.
When Wu Yuanqing returned home, his already unhappy face collapsed directly. If you want to fight, you won't be able to go down in a few months.
He was still thinking about waiting for Changle, and when Xiangcheng was about to give birth, he took a leave and ran back to Chang'an to accompany his two wives to give birth, but now it's okay, it's impossible to take leave to lead the troops.
Damn, faint.
Compared with Wu Yuanqing's depression, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were excited little hearts beating wildly, and they felt light and fluttering when they walked.
You must know that the two of them, as the eldest sons of the military magnate Datang Guogong, are naturally greatly protected, if it is not for special matters, or relatively safe circumstances, they will never be allowed or appointed to go out with the army.
Moreover, although the emperor has no intention of suppressing the military, he also does not want a certain family to appear in the military, let alone a general's family or something.
The military bigwigs also know the emperor's thoughts, so the children in the family, except for a small number of people who can't read books and will teach military martial arts, the rest are all studying and developing towards the civilian route.
That's why Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin are in their thirties, and they have very little experience in leading troops to fight, you must know that when their father was as old as them, he was already a famous rebel. With the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he directly became a military officer.
This time he was able to get the opportunity to lead the troops to fight, and he was still the marching commander of a front army, that is, the highest decision-maker, which was completely unexpected.
I couldn't have thought of it before.
Therefore, the two brothers were happier than the other, and they came to Wu Yuanqing when they met happily, because Wu Yuanqing was the chief of the conquest, nominally their superiors, and all the troops that conquered Goguryeo and Baekje were Wu Yuanqing's subordinates.
"Boss, my subordinates are polite." Cheng Chumo had a big round face with a fluffy black face, and he pinched his throat and saluted Wu Yuanqing without saying anything.
"Ahem, I've seen the Grand Steward." Yu Chi Baolin couldn't be so shameless as Cheng Chumo, but he also had some playful salutes.
"Roll on, roll how far and how far away. I'm angry when I see you now. Fuck off." Wu Yuanqing scolded angrily.
"Yo, this official's temper rises as soon as he rises, your face is so ugly." Cheng Chu sneered.
"You sarcastically say it again, believe it or not, I asked Your Majesty to change yours."
"Huh."
