Hearing that someone took the initiative to come out to ask for battle, everyone looked over. And this person is Hou Junji, the chief of the Tang Dynasty. Now Hou Junji is no longer the secretary of the Ministry of War, but he has been transformed into the chief of general affairs, although it seems that the scope of his responsibility is not so large, but in fact, the affairs under his jurisdiction are more refined. And there are more people under it, so the rights are not reduced. Moreover, personnel matters in the army are under his jurisdiction, so he is in charge of the appointment of officers, so no one dares to underestimate his position.

Now that he has taken the initiative to ask to go on the expedition, it seems that he also wants to make meritorious service in a hurry. And many people may also guess that Hou Junji is eyeing Li Jing's position. Now although Hou Junji is one of the three commanders, he can only rank second, so he wants to become the chief of military affairs and become the leader of the military. This can be said to be the highest ideal of a soldier, so of course he has to work hard to accumulate political capital. Li Jing will retire in less than two years, and Hou Junji is still young, if he can take advantage of the current opportunity to accumulate enough political capital, then he can become Li Jing's successor.

"Hou Qing's family is enthusiastic, and I am very satisfied. However, this time, I plan to personally drive the expedition! Li Shimin said.

"What? The emperor can't! Immediately a large crowd shouted.

Hearing that Li Shimin actually planned to drive the expedition in person, this simply made a lot of people almost crazy. Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, where can the emperor go out to fight lightly, this is simply unreasonable. And if the emperor goes out to fight, it is generally only if the country is particularly dangerous, and in order to boost morale, he will drive the expedition in person. And once the emperor goes out to fight and something happens outside, I'm afraid it will be miserable. After all, the emperor was the core of a country in ancient times, and if something happened, the country would probably be in chaos.

"Why not, I can be regarded as a horse all my life, and I have experienced countless battles? Am I not yet the commander of an army of 100,000? Li Shimin asked.

And Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty." If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case of an accident, then I will ...... Datang"

"Hmph, those clowns who jump off the beam in Goguryeo, can they still hurt me? I have 100,000 troops to protect me, what are I afraid of going wrong? Li Shimin asked.

And Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not afraid of Goguryeo, but the ...... within the army."

"Huh? Wei Zheng Aiqing, my Tang army is full of loyal ministers who are loyal to my Tang Dynasty, what do you mean by this quack? Li Shimin asked.

And those generals all looked at Wei Zheng. I want Wei Zheng to give an explanation. If, according to Wei Zheng, he was worried that there were plots within the army, wouldn't he be scolding the people present for plotting against him? Or is there something wrong with a subordinate and a mole? Obviously, Wei Zheng spoke very inappropriately this time, so the generals also looked at Wei Zheng deadly, if Wei Zheng dared to say anything again, it would also kill him.

"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant? Instead...... "Wei Zheng is still like to say something."

And Li Shimin immediately said: "Wei Zheng Aiqing." At that time, Emperor Yang Guangdu of the Sui Dynasty was able to personally lead a million-strong military region to conquer Goguryeo, so could I have any problems with taking a 100,000-strong army to conquer? So, do you mean that I am not as good as Emperor Yang Guang of Sui? ”

Li Shimin's words are a bit damning, that is, if someone dares to continue to refute. That is to say, Ming Li Shimin is not as good as Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. And Yang Guang was in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, but he was recognized as a faint tyrant, can everyone say that Li Shimin is inferior to Yang Guang? So he couldn't say this, so Wei Zheng was also dumbfounded. No matter how you say it. can't directly say that the emperor is a faint king!

And some people probably guessed that there was actually a profound reason why Li Shimin wanted to drive the expedition in person. The reason is that Li Shimin wants to fight with Emperor Yang of Sui. Since Emperor Yang of Sui had a big fall here in Goguryeo, Li Shimin naturally had to get up here. Emperor Yang of Sui suffered a big loss in Goguryeo, so Li Shimin naturally wanted to get back the face of the Central Plains Emperor. After all, the face of the Central Plains Emperor was lost in Goguryeo, so Li Shimin, as the heir of Emperor Yang of Sui, naturally wanted to regain this face. And Li Shimin also wants to prove that he is stronger than Emperor Yang of Sui. And to compare the ability of two people, in fact, the best way is to let them do the same thing, so as to see who can do it well and quickly.

And the reason why Li Shimin wanted to personally crusade against Goguryeo was because Emperor Yang of Sui personally went to crusade against Goguryeo, but failed. And Li Shimin is going to crusade against Goguryeo this time, so he naturally has to go on the expedition together in person, and then after destroying Goguryeo, this can not only recall face for the Central Plains again, and then avenge the Chinese children again, but also prove that the Tang Dynasty is better than the Sui Dynasty. Because the Sui Dynasty fell on Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty was able to regain face, which means that the Tang Dynasty was better than the Sui Dynasty. Good or not, this is actually a comparison, if there is no comparison, it is impossible to feel better.

As long as Goguryeo can be defeated and destroyed, it seems that the Tang Dynasty is much better than the Sui Dynasty, so that everyone can see the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Goguryeo has actually been right with the Central Plains Dynasty for many years, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they were also called ministers. And if the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, they will also take the opportunity to expand and then occupy the territory of the Central Plains. That's why this kind of person is so khagan and has such a strong desire to expand, so it is absolutely impossible to keep it. This kind of person, in Jing Wen's heart, is similar to the later devils of the Japanese Kingdom, when they are weak, they will beg for mercy and become vassals, as long as they can keep the stolen territory. But once the Central Plains is weak, they will encroach on the Central Plains land step by step, and their goal is to become equal to the Central Plains Dynasty. This kind of person has endured it for hundreds of years, and this time I can't let them go on like this.

"Well, this battle, I personally drove the battle. Lead the Eastern Legion on the expedition, and who wants to go with me? Li Shimin asked.

"I want to go!" Everyone said together.

Since it is inevitable that the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, everyone wants to follow Li Shimin to fight together. Not everyone has to go, but they have to show their loyalty. Therefore, everyone also asked to fight, so that they could appear to be loyal.

However, the person who asked to play did not have Jingwen. (To be continued......)
