Because of the particularity of Goguryeo's geographical location, it was not only difficult to overwhelm the territory with heavy troops, but also relied on the advantages of the fortified city, which repeatedly made the Tang Dynasty unruly.

But this time is different, you know, Quan boy is the eldest son of Quan Gai Suwen, and he is also his rightful heir, although he was plotted by his two younger brothers, forced to flee to the Tang Dynasty for help, but don't forget, he is also very powerful in Goguryeo's country, and even some towns in Goguryeo are still under the control of Quan boy.

In addition, the Izumi boy himself is very familiar with various situations in Goguryeo, and if he can get his help, Datang will definitely be able to strengthen his wings.

When is a person most powerful?

The answer to this question may vary, but one thing is certain, and that is that when a person's heart is filled with hatred and anger, he will burst out with power that he can never imagine.

That's what Izumi boys are like now!

Originally, he was the successor of Goguryeo Damo's detachment, but now Feidan did not succeed to the throne, but was plotted by others, left his hometown, and even his life was threatened all the time.

How could he not feel anger and hatred?

And now, Datang is his only hope for revenge!

This is also the most exciting place for Li Hong, to be led by such a noble guide who is extremely familiar with Goguryeo, the Tang army will definitely be able to break through!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this Zhanquan boy is a key figure, if he helps, our army will definitely be able to solve the big problem of Goguryeo!"

Pei Xingjian's face was a little red, obviously caused by excitement.

However, the voice is still steady, and the tone is slightly conservative.

"Is General Pei really sure of this?"

It's just that although this sentence is a bit conservative in Pei Xingjian's opinion, it is a bit arrogant in the eyes of other ministers.

And what Li Hong didn't expect the most was that it was Xu Jingzong who spoke out this time!

This old fox, who was silent from the beginning, did not clearly indicate his attitude.

But judging from the fact that he had just entered the hall, the resolution of the political hall this time should be unanimous, otherwise Li Zhi's face would not be so ugly at that time.

"It has always been difficult to be very sure of the affairs of the soldiers, and now that the Quan boy has not yet arrived in Chang'an, the specific situation of Goguryeo is not clear, so the old man does not dare to make a rash assertion!"

Pei Xingjian calmed down from the excitement just now, and his tone became a little more cautious.

After a pause, he continued.

"It's just that judging from the current situation, the civil strife in Goguryeo is a rare opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, if it is missed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future!"

I have to say that Pei Xingjian is still a soldier in the end, and he never hides his words, and even sometimes collides with Li Zhi.

But this time Li Zhi felt that he was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye, after all, under the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, Pei Xingjian's voice of approval seemed to make him extremely satisfied.

"Yao Qing, the baggage of the military department is still enough, can the mobilization of soldiers arrive on time?"

However, Li Zhi didn't say anything, nodded lightly, and asked Yao Chong, the secretary of the military department.

"Back to Your Majesty, if it is as General Pei said, only 100,000 troops are needed, the military department should be able to deal with it, as for the problem of soldiers, the Western Expeditionary Army has just been transferred back to defense, and it has been reunited with its family for several months, and now the blood is still alive, it should be able to be mobilized as scheduled!"

Yao Chong, the secretary of the military department, is also a figure raised by Li Zhi, so naturally he will not dismantle Li Zhi at this time, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly at the moment.

Of course, this is also thanks to Li Zhi's hard work over the years, so that he, the secretary of the military department, still has the confidence to say such things at this time.

"Good!"

Li Hong laughed, with a little pride, looked at the several prime ministers in the political hall, and did not speak.

Now that the money is available, the people are there, and the time is there, Li Zhi doesn't believe that these people have any reason to oppose it.

After a pause, Li Zhi's face was a little lonely, and he spoke.

"Zhuqing, when the first emperor died, he said to me that if Goguryeo is not removed, the future generations will be in great trouble, and this battle is not only to remove the great disaster for future generations, but also to fulfill the last wish of the first emperor!"

Well, now that Li Zhi has moved Emperor Taizong out, what can he say more.

"In that case, it seems that the Eastern Crusade is imperative!"

Xu Jingzong sighed and said faintly.

Since someone started up, everyone no longer insisted, so they had to follow the way.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Well, in that case, Yao Qing will start working on this matter when he goes back today, as for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, try to choose elite soldiers from all over the country, and when the Quan boy arrives in Chang'an, he will officially start and conquer Goguryeo!"

Li Zhi's face flushed slightly, looking a little excited.

You must know that even his father, Emperor Taizong, known as the "Heavenly Khan", did not conquer Goguryeo, if it was completed in his hands, he would have no regrets in this life!

"Father, the Eastern Expedition is very important, the person in command is the most important, according to the son's view, General Xue Rengui is brave and brave, in the time of the first emperor, he had an expedition to Goguryeo with the army, and now the war has resumed, General Xue should be able to take on the responsibility of the commander!"

What everyone didn't expect was that it was Li Xian who spoke this time.

And it wasn't Liu Renliang who he recommended, but Xue Rengui!

You must know that now the people in the court are clear that Liu Renliang is the confidant of His Royal Highness King Yong, and he is also a military general, which can be said to be the most suitable!

But in comparison, although Xue Rengui is also famous, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with King Yong, how could His Royal Highness King Yongwang suddenly remember to recommend him?

And Xue Rengui is indeed very brave, and he is also loyal to the Tang Dynasty, if nothing else, he should be able to compete with Pei Xingjian in the military.

But the problem is, he just had an accident!

Just a few years ago, Xue Rengui led his troops to fight against Jiu surnamed Tiele and returned with a great victory, but it was also the starting point of his political frustration, because he did one, no, two things that risked the world's disapproval!

One is to kill prisoners, and the other is to take bribes!

At the beginning, I don't know why, after Xue Rengui's victory, Xu is proud of his achievements, Xu is Tiele people did something to anger him, in short, in the end, he disobeyed the edict, ordered to kill more than 30,000 captives surnamed Tiele, and took the Tiele women captured by his subordinates as concubines, and also accepted a lot of bribes and gifts.

Although in the end, under Li Zhi's hard work, he was pardoned for his great merit, but he lost all his power, and he could only be kept in the mansion with peace of mind, and was not used again!

At this moment, what is the purpose of Li Xian bringing him up again?

Li Hong frowned slightly, looking at Li Xian's calm expression, he couldn't guess his thoughts. (To be continued.) )
