It's not just Li Hong who is puzzled by this, but even he believes that as long as this news spreads, I'm afraid the Manchu civil and military forces will not believe it.

Li Ji's significance to the military is almost equivalent to the role of Dinghai Shenpin, for so many years, he has no longer been involved in various wars, but there is no doubt that he is a generation of famous generals in the world!

At this moment, for the sake of a mere Goguryeo, how could Li Hong not be surprised if he wanted to alarm him to go on the expedition in person.

"The dispute between my Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo has a long history, and it can be traced back to the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, when the soldiers pressed the territory to conquer Goguryeo, but they did not complete the work, so that in the end, they caused a lot of resentment among the people, and the people lost money, but in any case, Emperor Yang was just in a hurry, and no one dared to say that he was wrong!"

Li Ji sighed, his voice was quite complicated, and his expression was also a little trance.

"At that time, the old man was only a young man, but he also followed the army to Goguryeo, and then Emperor Yang had no way, so that the heroes rose together, and there was no time to take care of Goguryeo, and when he arrived at the time of the first emperor, he went east again, and the old man was the general manager of the march of Liaodong Road, and followed the first emperor all the way like a bamboo, even breaking several cities, but he had no choice but to stop under the king city, and the unwilling expression of the first emperor at that time is still in front of the old minister!"

Unconsciously, Li Ji's tone was a lot gloomy, and the fists placed on the table were already clenched tightly, and his face became extremely unwilling.

And Li Hong's face was also slightly stunned, and he vaguely understood the reason why Li Ji insisted on going on his own expedition this time.

"Your Highness knows!"

Li Ji's voice rose suddenly, and a pair of tiger eyes also flashed with a terrifying light.

"Lao Chen has rarely lost in battles in his life! Only this Goguryeo is the old minister tried his best, are helpless, now its civil strife, it is a good time for my Tang Dynasty, how can the old minister miss, if you can't see Goguryeo really surrender to my Tang Dynasty, in the future, the old minister will see the first emperor underground, I'm afraid there is nothing to say! ”

Li Hong was silent, he had never experienced a battle array, but he also knew it.

For a famous general like Li Ji, what does a lost war mean, it is the shame of their life!

Although Goguryeo was finally intimidated by the might of the Tang Dynasty and surrendered, for Li Ji, for various reasons, he had to reluctantly withdraw his troops and return, which was defeat.

Since he is defeated, he will naturally make a comeback, this is the obsession of a soldier, and it has nothing to do with everything else!

Goguryeo is not only Li Zhi's heart disease, but also a thorn in Li Ji's heart, if you don't pull it out, I'm afraid the old man won't be blind when he dies!

Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Li Hong say?

Since Li Ji said this, it can only show that Li Ji's mind has been decided, this old man always seems to be smiling, but he is actually a stubborn person.

I'm afraid that no matter how much anyone tries to persuade them, it will be useless.

But having said that, after all, caring is chaotic, Pei Xingjian still couldn't help but speak.

"Master Li's intentions are understood, but this battle is enough with General Xue, why bother with Li Shi to go out in person, Master Li only needs to wait for good news in Chang'an City, not to mention ......"

Pei Xingjian's tone was a little eager, but he was a little hesitant halfway through his words, turned his head to look at Li Hong, gritted his teeth, and continued.

"What's more, Master Li is old after all, and the battlefield is dangerous, if there is any mistake, how can students be worthy of Master Li's teaching for so many years, please think twice!"

In fact, Pei Xingjian's consideration is also right, now Li Ji's age is indeed not young, although his body has always been healthy, but the road to Goguryeo is far away, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, if something really happens, it will not be good.

It's just that for some reason, Li Hong always felt that when Pei Xingjian said this, there was a bit of dodgy in his tone.

But soon, Li Hong understood why.

Because of listening to Pei Xingjian's words, Li Ji not only did not get angry, but smiled slightly, his face was a little indifferent.

"Keep the promise, things have come to this point, and there is no need to continue to hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, anyway, it won't be long before everyone will know!"

Pei Xingjian's face was a little ugly, but Li Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

I am afraid that it is not a trivial matter to be able to make Pei Xingjian so cautious, could it be that Li Ji has not brought him enough surprise today, and there is one more failure?

Sighing, Pei Xingjian arched his hand at Li Hong and spoke.

"Your Highness's forgiveness, it's not that the minister deliberately concealed it from His Highness, it's just that this matter is too big, so even the minister doesn't dare to say anything."

There was a hint of shame in his tone, after all, Li Hong had helped him at the beginning, but now he was hiding something from Li Hong, and with the fact that he already knew, he really didn't feel good in his heart.

"General Pei doesn't have to be like this, it's just that what is it that deserves the general's caution?"

Li Hong didn't care much, after all, everyone has their own secrets, but since Li Ji had already mentioned it, he had to ask.

Pei Xingjian, who was on the other side, had a somewhat gloomy face and said softly.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the reason why Master Li can't get sick these days is not because he is pretending to be sick, but because Master Li's body is indeed ......."

It can be said that today's unexpected things are one after another, but only Pei Xingjian's words are the most unbelievable.

Li Hong turned to look at Li Ji almost stiffly, and barely squeezed out a smile in his expression.

"This ...... British ......"

"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, the number of longevity is determined by heaven, the old man has lived so many years longer than Brother Li, Brother Su and countless other old brothers, it's time to go and see them! It's just that today, the old man's only wish is to be able to live to see Goguryeo being subdued, and hope that His Royal Highness will fulfill it! ”

Li Ji's face was still calm, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

After that, he actually stood up and saluted Li Hong in a dignified manner.

"How is this possible? This...... Isn't England doing well now? Did my father know about this? Has the Imperial Doctor ever come to see him? ”

It was only at this moment that Li Hongfang reacted and said eagerly.

You must know that the current Li Ji doesn't look like a dying person at all, not only is he very neat between sitting and walking, but even his spirit is very full, how can he live as little as Pei Xingjian said?

It's unbelievable!

"Hehe, Your Majesty naturally knows about this matter, and the reason why Your Majesty has not sent the imperial doctor here these days is because of the power of the medicine stone, which is now useless to the old man.

What His Highness sees now is just that the old man used a prescription left by his old friend back then, barely stimulating his physical potential, but in fact, he can't survive for a few months! ”

Li Ji chuckled, but sighed and said faintly. (To be continued.) )
