When Chang'an City was full of nobles dancing and singing, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the merchants were ready to do a big job, Goryeo, who had been defeated by Xu Yang once in the Silla Kingdom, was a little dishonest again, and Yuan Gai Suwen learned well this time, and no longer sent a large army to dispatch, but led a team of squads to harass the border of Silla, until the letter of the Queen of Silla was handed to Li Er's table, and Goryeo had already invaded the land of Silla for more than 50 li this time.

When Li Er saw the national letter, he was furious, and now the Tang Dynasty is several times stronger than in history, so Li Er's ambitions are also constantly expanding, since the destruction of the Eastern Turks, the self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty has reached an unprecedented height, the title of the Heavenly Khan, so that Li Er has the confidence to act as the world's policeman. Now that Siyi is bowing down to the Tang Dynasty, only this one Goguryeo keeps making small moves behind his back, and if he doesn't beat him, he will be sorry for the big hat that Siyi gave Li Er 'Tian Khan'.

Goryeo is located in a precipitous state, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty His Excellency attacked Goryeo three times, the last time, Goryeo was really moved by Yang Guang's resentful ghost-like persistence, announced that he was officially a vassal to the Sui Dynasty, and paid regular tribute from then on. This means that Yang Guang's expedition to Liao was a failure.

After Li Er ascended the throne, he was different from Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty everywhere, Yang Guang liked to be praised by others, and Li Shimin gave the power to find fault with his subordinates. Yang Guang likes to play around, and Li Shimin suffocates himself in the palace, even if he has internal injuries. But Yang Guang attacked Goryeo, but Li Er was the same as Yang Guang, from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to crusade against Goryeo.

During the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo was a vast country, occupying the Songhwa River valley in the northeast and most of today's peninsula. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the Chinese government was busy with the civil war. Goryeo grew rapidly, with three capitals alone, and also occupied strategic locations such as Liaodong.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Goryeo raised troops to attack Silla, and Li Er sent Xu Yang to stop it, but he didn't expect to win a big victory, and more than 10,000 people were captured from the captives alone, and Goryeo, who suffered heavy losses, was like a wounded beast. hibernated, and sent envoys to express their willingness to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and no longer provoke Silla.

And now, such an untrustworthy small country is eager to try to do something unruly, which Li Er cannot tolerate, although the dignity of the empire is a reason, but there is a more important reason, which always prompts Li Er to attack Goryeo, that is, Liaodong itself is Chinese territory, and the Han people there are many exiled Sui Dynasty people after the fall of the Sui Dynasty. In the early years of Zhenguan, Li Er had just ascended the throne. I was afraid that the domestic situation would be unstable and the people's lives would be low, so I didn't send troops to attack this thorn in the side, and now Li Er, as the world hegemon, must not tolerate the suffering of his compatriots, let alone the inability of Liaodong to return.

Now that he has made up his mind and has the experience of Xu Yang's victory, Li Erda has made a decision to fight to the death in this unruly small country from the bottom of his heart.

Summoned many generals in Chang'an, Li Er held a grand battle plan meeting, Xu Yang was also fortunate to be invited, according to Li Er, he wanted to launch a full-scale attack on Goryeo from three directions by land and water, this is a typical dumpling-making tactic, the Goryeo people have never eaten dumplings, so they don't know the power of this tactic.

Dumpling-making tactics and hamburger tactics are often used on the battlefield by outstanding military wizards, and the indiscriminate encirclement of the fighting method is to treat the opponent as a meat filling, frantically wrap it, and finally strangle it.

Li Er also firmly believed that he could be late for dumplings this time, and swore that he would drive the expedition in person, looking at his expression full of confidence and pointing at the country, Xu Yang was speechless for a while, this guy is now getting younger and younger, in history, he didn't think of pro-conquest of Goryeo until his old age, and now, this guy has a strange idea of pro-conquest.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now is not the best time to conquer Goryeo." Although Li Jing was very low-key in Chang'an and never expressed any opinions at the court meeting, he was the first to stand up and stop Li Er's impulsive behavior.

"Oh? Why did Li Aiqing say this? Li Er's eyebrows were raised, and he asked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, he always had a sense of rejection from the bottom of his heart for this former Tang Dynasty military god.

"Returning to His Majesty, the terrain of Goguryeo is steep, and now my Datang firearms are still in the research and development stage, and the firearms that can break through the city are not stable and cannot be put into actual combat, and now the snow in Goryeo is melting, the roads are muddy, and it is not suitable for marching, and His Majesty has only been on the throne for three years, so it is not suitable for large-scale use of troops." Lao Li's answer explained the reasons why it was not the best time from three aspects, and what he said was also methodical.

"Who said that firearms are not stable, I have personally seen the artillery and grenades trained by the chengguan team, which one is very powerful, although the snow in Goryeo is melting now, but the weather at this time is also just right, do we want to delay until the cold winter to attack their arrow tower wall?" Li Er snorted, "As for me only ascending the throne for three years, do you see that Emperor Taishang has been on the throne for eight years, and there is the prosperity of my governance?" ”

Li Jing listened, was silent, and then hugged his fists and said: "The last general just said his humble opinion, what His Majesty said is also very reasonable, and it is all up to His Majesty to decide."

Hey, Xu Yangzai sighed silently in his heart, Li Jing used to be such a good character, and now Li Shuang is on duty like a frightened little bird, he is basically not seen in Chang'an City, in order to avoid suspicion, lest Li Er suspect that he will rebel, he hides in the mansion all day long, and rarely interacts with the dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an, as if he is a transparent person.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, even a generation of military gods was persuaded by himself, and a sense of pride arose.

"Majesty, the minister thinks that Majesty is a little complacent and arrogant." The only one who can say that Li Er is complacent and arrogant is Wei Zheng, an old guy, who criticizes Li Er, but this guy is not merciful.

Sure enough, after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Er's face turned blue and black, and his face was full of displeasure, "Oh? Wei Aiqing came to tell me in detail, where did I rest on my laurels and become arrogant? ”

Wei Zheng's voice was still slow and logical, as a representative of the Shandong Group, he was the target of Li Er's wooing, so no matter what he said, he knew that Li Er would not move him, "Your Majesty, two years ago, when the minister just abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, you said to the minister: 'The chaos in the world, the suffering is in the people, my Tang Dynasty needs to recuperate for more than ten years, and when the people in the country live in peace and the treasury is full, then go to conquer the surrounding countries, it is' the Central Plains, Siyi self-submission's policy, but your Majesty, you see, after the fall of the Eastern Turks, His Majesty became more and more arrogant, and the surrounding countries did not put it in their eyes, some time ago, when His Majesty ordered General Li Ji, General Cheng, and General Wei Chi to attack Tuyuhun, my Tang Dynasty's taxes increased by a layer, and in less than half a year, His Majesty wanted to conquer Goryeo in person, which was really the consequence of arrogance and arrogance. ”

Wei Zheng criticized that he didn't save much face for Li Er, and it was no wonder that in history, Li Er would shout when he returned to the harem and said, 'This puppet should be killed', seeing Li Er's innocent face, Xu Yang wanted to laugh for a while.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei's evaluation is a little out of words." Li Er's brother, Sun Wuji, jumped out to relieve Li Er at this time, he is really a good brother.

"Mowgli, please speak freely." Li Er's face finally had a hint of a smile, and the eldest grandson Wuji's gloomy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and said eloquently: "Although my Datang has frequent foreign soldiers, it is all for a reason, and outsiders are not convinced, and my Central Plains Datang should let it be educated, not to mention, you see that although my Datang sends troops frequently, there is no chaos in the country, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the grain production is more and more season by season. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji has always been a pro-Li party, and he almost all supported Li Er's decision, so this time, he also strongly supported Li Er's dispatch to Goryeo.

"Hmm." Nodding with satisfaction, Li Er's gaze swept over many important ministers of the court, Fang Xuanling, Xu Yang and others, all of them did not have any objections, Li Er said loudly: "Immediately recall Li Ji, serve as the secretary of the military department, and prepare to send troops to Goryeo in Chang'an!" ”…… (To be continued......)
