The battle on the front line went smoothly, the army of the Tang Dynasty won great victories one after another, and the army of Goguryeo was defeated and retreated, and the victory of this war was already stable for the Tang Dynasty.

And Xue Li's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

His vanguard army of 6,000 men actually killed more than 40,000 Goguryeo soldiers, and attacked all the way to the capital of Goguryeo.

It can be said that Xue Li's vanguard army, in Goguryeo, is much larger than the main force of the Tang Dynasty.

After Goguryeo withdrew the elite troops that attacked Silla, the army of Baekje alone could not take the capital of Silla.

Although in the previous war, Silla's army was almost exhausted, but the people of Silla have not yet been exhausted, and now they have the aid of the Tang Dynasty, and Goguryeo has withdrawn, leaving the Baekje army, so they can't fight back?

Under the strong counterattack of the Silla army, the Baekje army was defeated and was soon driven back to Baekje territory.

However, the Silla army also suffered heavy losses, and after regaining the lost territory, they stopped their attacks on Baekje and Goguryeo.

If Goguryeo does not surrender as soon as possible, then the Tang army will definitely enter their capital unceremoniously and escort their king to Chang'an to meet His Majesty Li Er.

The news that Li Er heard all day long was good news, even if he had been in battle for a long time, when he heard so many good news in a row, he was also smiling and happy.

The smooth operation of the Tang Dynasty's army means that his soldiers suffered less damage, and once Goguryeo is defeated, it will be of great significance.

What the emperor of the previous dynasty failed to do, he Li Er did, this is an achievement.

Also, after defeating Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty was no longer invincible, and all those who tried to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty were subdued.

In the future, whoever dares to provoke the Tang Dynasty will have the same end as Goguryeo.

However, Li Er was also surprised by Zhang Yi's viciousness in his eyes, Xue Li is a native of Hedong, and has never been to Chang'an, and Zhang Yi has never been to Hedong, how does he know that Xue Li will definitely be able to lead troops to fight, and he will definitely be qualified to be the vanguard of this Eastern Crusade.

Xue Li was not famous, and even said that in addition to their place, other places didn't know that there was such a person, and when Zhang Yi recommended Xue Li to him, he was still a little confused.

At that time, he was still thinking about Xue Li's family, but after thinking about it, he didn't think of whose family it was.

There were very few Xue surnamed Xungui in Chang'an, and he also went through the adult men of those families and found that there was no one named Xue Li.

Later, when Zhang Yi explained to himself, he realized that what Zhang Yi recommended was only a civilian, and he had no merit at all.

Even, Li Er could hear from Zhang Yi's tone that he didn't know Xue Li, although he didn't know from which channel he learned about Xue Li, but they didn't know each other at all, why did he recommend Xue Li to be the vanguard of the Eastern Expeditionary Army?

All kinds of things, Li Er couldn't figure it out.

But he didn't plan to think about it, anyway, now that Xue Li led the vanguard army of the Eastern Expedition to sweep the four winds in Goguryeo, and he has already successfully won over Xue Li, it is not surprising that Xue Li will become a fierce general in the Tang Army in the future, and he will be loyal to him.

In any case, Zhang Yi still discovered a very good general for him, and from this point alone, Zhang Yi also has merit.

Moreover, in this Eastern Crusade, the gunpowder bullet invented by Zhang Yi played a great role.

Xue Li also clearly told Li Er before that when it comes to thermal weapons, Zhang Yi is a well-deserved first person, and many of the things he has mastered were also taught to him by Zhang Yi.

So this time in the Eastern Crusade, Zhang Yi's contribution is still not small.

However, since he rejected himself, and he also had a lot of trouble with himself, Li Er would definitely not reward him for no reason.

At most, don't trouble him.

However, Zhang Yi's eyes made Li Er a little worried.

He's so good at spotting talent, and his brain is so good that it's not too much to describe him as a genius.

If such a person can be used for himself, of course, it is the best, but if such a person is not disciplined and cannot be used for himself, then he must take some measures.

In any case, he can't be allowed to stand on the opposite side of himself, at least he can't cause any harm to the current Datang.

If Zhang Yi dared to have any dissenting intentions now, Li Er would deal with him mercilessly.

However, judging from Zhang Yi's performance now, Li Er is still relieved, his wives and concubines are in groups, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and he looks free and easy in the world.

Li Er: This point still has the strength to see people's eyes.

However, it is indeed a little unfair to think that he treats Zhang Yi like this, because he doubts him, he has been treating him so unfairly, and because he wants to squeeze his use value, he has been forcing him to do a lot of things, and even, his daughter has become a condition of the transaction, although that daughter Li Er is not very impressed.

But now that he realizes his problem, it's a little late, after the last time he had a fight with Zhang Yi, I'm afraid that kid has been a little disheartened.

Easily, it is difficult to call him back, and even if he is called back, it is difficult to let him selflessly advise himself as before.

People, sometimes like this, there is a saying called what, people, are lost, only to discover the preciousness of a certain thing, but at this time to want to cherish, it is too late.

"That's it."

Li Erchang sighed, he was unfair to him, just compensate him a little in the future.

As for whether he is willing to give advice to himself, it depends on his mood.

Anyway, now that Datang's internal and external troubles have been basically solved, and there are many talents in the court, it is enough for him for the time being, so let Zhang Yi go to live his carefree life for the time being.

Thinking of the word Xiaoyaohou, Li Er's heart suddenly moved.

"This time the Crusade army has returned, and it's time for me to do something for him."

Li Er whispered, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he knew what he should do next.
