Chapter 498: Who is Xue Rengui?

"The person I recommend is Hedong Xue Li!"

When Zhang Yi finished saying this, Li Er was still in a state of confusion.

"Hedong Xue Li? Who is it? I haven't heard of it, among our Manchu Dynasty civil and military, is there such a person? ”

A series of questions popped up from Li Er's mind, and although he had tried hard to search in his mind, he still hadn't figured out who Xue Li was.

Looking at Li Er's bewildered expression, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty can't think of who it is, right?" ”

Li Er nodded.

"Even Your Majesty can't think of who it is, and in the court, the princes basically won't know who it is, and if I want to let an unknown person directly lead the troops to the battle, I will definitely be attacked by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."

"Even if I can convince you then, you may not be able to convince so many ministers."

Zhang Yi was silent, and kicked the ball back to Li Er.

Li Er frowned and said: "I really haven't heard of that Xue Li, and it's not worth him anything extraordinary, but a person with no name, how can he let you recommend him to lead the army to conquer Goguryeo?" ”

"You recommended him, then you have to say a good thing, why do you recommend him."

Li Er is not stupid, he can't directly hand over the military power to a person who doesn't know the roots, what is the difference between that approach and looking for death.

So he stuffed the question back to Zhang Yi and asked Zhang Yi to answer it for him.

Xue Li is naturally the famous Xue Rengui in later generations.

The Tang Dynasty pacified Goguryeo, relying on Xue Rengui, and if there was no Xue Rengui, the Tang Dynasty might not be able to win.

Although Zhang Yi doesn't know what Xue Rengui is doing now, it is always right for him to recommend Xue Rengui now.

Pinching his fingers, Xue Rengui at this time was only seventeen or eighteen years old, which was much younger than his later pacification of Goguryeo.

However, according to the wheel of history, Goguryeo should not make trouble so quickly, right, now that Goguryeo is making trouble in advance, will Xue Rengui also be born in advance?

And the conquest of Goguryeo was the credit of Xue Rengui, and Zhang Yi didn't want his credit to be robbed by others, so he directly recommended Xue Rengui to Li Er.

As long as Li Er can reuse Xue Rengui, then, no matter how you look at it, this war will be won smoothly.

Although Goguryeo is a small country, but it is not as easy to deal with as imagined, as early as the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, in order to destroy Goguryeo, Yang Guang has sent troops to attack Goguryeo three times, but his three crusades have failed.

Every time Yang Guang crusaded against Goguryeo, the number of soldiers would not be less than 300,000, and again it was more exaggerated, Yang Guang directly signaled 1.12 million people, claiming that the army of 2 million attacked Goguryeo.

But even if Yang Guang got so many teams to fight in the past, he finally had to go home, and in the end, the strength of the entire country suffered a major blow.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's three crusades to the east can be said to have directly consumed the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, which also led to the uprising that slipped later, and the Sui Dynasty was not able to ask.

If you follow the wheel of history, this time it should be Li Er who personally sent troops to conquer Goguryeo, but in the end Li Er did not succeed and was almost captured by the Goguryeo people.

It wasn't until the appearance of Xue Rengui that Tang Jun could be regarded as the next step towards victory under his leadership.

Being able to conquer Goguryeo was a great credit, and Zhang Yi didn't intend to snatch it from Xue Rengui, let alone give it to others, so he directly recommended Xue Rengui to Li Er.

But now that Li Er wants a reason, Zhang Yi has no choice but to casually list the advantages of Xue Rengui in his impression.

"Bravery, perseverance, loyalty, bravery..."

Zhang Yi closed his eyes and listed a lot of advantages for Li Erluo, which many excellent generals have.

In the end, Zhang Yi directly asked Li Er to send someone to investigate Xue Rengui.

He went to investigate on his own, and it was much more credible than what he said.

Zhang Yi didn't care whether Li Er would use Xue Rengui or not, anyway, all the suggestions and countermeasures on his side were given, that is, Xue Rengui plus gunpowder bombs, these two things were enough to beat the Goguryeo people to the ground.

Since his personal task is completed, if Li Er wants to continue to look for him, then he can rest assured that he will push Xue Rengui.

After Li Er heard Zhang Yi say this, someone immediately went to investigate Xue Rengui's details.

Masters are in the people, the world is so big, there will always be some masters in the world, these people just need a stage and a chance to prove themselves.

Therefore, Li Er did not directly and clearly tell Zhang Yi that he didn't need Xue Rengui, he had to see how people were first.

The investigation will take some time, and Li Er wants to continue to ask Zhang Yi about this expedition to Goguryeo, but Zhang Yi smiled and did not speak.

"Xue Rengui is my countermeasure, I believe that my countermeasure is the best, if he is used, then, he will definitely be able to quell this Goguryeo turmoil."

Zhang Yi swore and patted his chest to promise.

Goguryeo was indeed pacified by Xue Rengui, but at this time, the time was not right, Zhang Yi could only hope that Xue Rengui had grown up, otherwise he was only a teenager now, wouldn't he be laughed at by others.

Recommend a teenage child to lead the army to defeat Goguryeo, this is the first time people have seen such a joke.

Especially on this occasion, Li Er's whole family and country affairs, if Xue Rengui doesn't fight for himself, then he will have a problem.

If Xue Rengui was still a little kid and was investigated by Li Er, then Zhang Yi would definitely be heavily punished.

After all, there is a suspicion of teasing the emperor in this way.

Seeing that Zhang Yi had no intention of continuing to talk about the turmoil in Goguryeo, Li Er did not continue to force him.

Now, he can only wait for the spies to send Xue Rengui's information to his side, so that he can see what kind of person he Zhang Yi recommended is.

After chatting with Zhang Yi for a few more words, Li Er asked him to go back first.

After all, the matter of preparing for the conquest of Goguryeo is not a trivial matter, it still needs to be planned, as well as various things such as preparing grain, grass and weapons, etc., these things cannot be solved overnight, so Li Er sent Zhang Yi back first.

On the way back, although Zhang Yi was a little worried, he finally coped with Li Er's recruitment this time.

As for the rest of the matter, it will have to be handed over to Xue Rengui.

Zhang Yi knew that if Xue Rengui knew that he was recommended by himself like this, then he would definitely have to be grateful to himself, after all, unlike Xue Rengui, who started from the Huotou Army later, if he could get Li Er's appreciation at this time, then everything would be different.

"Xue Rengui, take it, it's up to you."

Zhang Yi said, and rode back to Zhangjiazhuang directly.

He had to get back to Zhuangzi before dark.
