Li Zhong has already expressed his thoughts in the court.

The next thing will naturally be arranged by Li Er.

It's a pity that Li Jing is not here.

Otherwise, Li Er would directly let Li Jing take command.

In the side hall.

Li Chong was also left behind.

Li Er looked at the sunlight shining in from the window grille above the wall, and was a little worried about the candidate for this expedition.

There seem to be many people under him who can fight.

You see people like Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, who are all known for their martial bravery.

But there are very few people who can lead the whole army on their own.

The only thing that can reassure Li Er is Li Jing alone.

Hou Junji is okay, but his experience is not enough.

"Who do you think is a good one?"

Li Er asked Li Chong.

Li Chong is also worried, you Li Erhao is fine, let Li Jing go and be the ambassador of the dethroned Zhizhi What are you doing.

The so-called deposed ambassador is almost a minister.

The specific function is to examine the meritocracy of local officials, inquire about the people's suffering, treat the elderly with courtesy, give relief to the poor people, and use long-buried talents.

In the end, wherever the envoy went, it was as if Li Er went there in person.

As a result, it is good now, I went out in the first month, and now I haven't come back in May.

However, it can't be helped.

And he vaguely remembered that Datang did beat Gu Hun twice.

Because Qinghai Lake is rich in good horses, and Li Er is the kind of person who loves horses.

Therefore, some public accounts in later generations often like to make up stories and conspiracy theories, saying that he went on his first expedition and sent Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and Fan Xing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to fight Tuguhun, just for the good horses of Qinghai Lake.

Of course!

Don't say it.

Now the more Li Chong looks at Li Er, the more he feels that he is like such a person.

Li Er saw that Li Chong was also staring at him, and he was a little embarrassed by Li Chong.

Wait until Li Er turns his head.

Li Chong replied, "I think Li Jing is the best."

"But he hasn't come back yet."

Li Chong said, "Then bear with it first."

can't help it, that means that what the "New Tang Book" says is right.

And the views of those official accounts are actually taken from the "New Tang Book".

Of course!

The scholars of the Song Dynasty made up things, and half of them should be believed.

After all, it's a bit of a storytelling.

Maybe Li Er did tell Duan Zhixuan to go and snatch the horse back for him, but this was definitely not the main reason.

The main reason is that in recent years, Tuyuhun has been too arrogant.

But in fact, Tuyuhun has always been like this since the time of the Sui Dynasty.

It is known as Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

It is said that they have a holy place, and every time they lose a battle, they go to the holy place to hide for a while, and when they recover, they can come out and jump again.

So......

This kind of strategy like this can't beat and run is definitely not something that comes to mind on the fly.

But it may have penetrated into the bones of every member of Tuyuhun's clan.

When they fled, they should have driven cattle and sheep faster than other steppe peoples.

Li Er listened to Li Chong's words.

There is no way.

He could only say to this Fang Xuanling, "Li Jing should be there now?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was very puzzled.

He found out that His Majesty was for such a big thing.

It seems that he cares too much about Li Chong's opinion.

Not beat around the bush.

Wei Zheng on the side also felt the same.

……

In the end, Fang Xuanling said to Li Er.

Li Jing should be the soonest

A month to come back.

And after coming back, he will immediately lead the troops to fight, with Li Jing's current age of 64, to be honest, whether he can hold it is a question.

When Li Er heard Fang Xuanling say that, he could only wait.

Visually, the next step is to go out in June and July.

Li Zhong watched them discuss.

Do you think this is a change in history? Of course! In fact, he has been changing history all along.

The difference is only that in the past he changed history, and the impact was not very great, but now ......

It's a war!

What if I lose the battle?

If you can win the battle, you lose it in the end.

In fact......

Sometimes, Li Chong will inevitably have such worries.

But......

Such a change cannot be said to be without the slightest benefit.

After all...... In the history books, there were two expeditions to Tuyuhun, and now they won the battle once, which obviously saved the time of food and military service.

It greatly reduced the burden of military service on the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking about it like this, Li Chong suddenly felt much better in his heart.

Half a month passed.

Li Jing, who had returned to Luoyang, received a message from Chang'an.

His Majesty needs him now.

Li Jing is actually a person with great ambitions and dreams.

When he was young, he once said to his father, "If a great husband meets the Lord at the right time, he must do meritorious deeds in order to gain wealth."

So......

When the first contribution to the destruction of the Turks was given to Tang Jian, to be honest, Li Jing was somewhat unconvinced.

Of course, he was not unconvinced by Tang Jian.

Tang Jian, in his opinion, is just a little minion.

What he was not convinced was that he did not get the first credit.

It's all because of Li Chongzai!

It's good now!

The opportunity to make meritorious deeds is here again!

On the same day, he couldn't help but pack his things, leave the others behind, and set off immediately.

And it's as if the whole person is at least twenty years younger.

"Drive!"

Then the smoke is gone.

Seeing that Taichang Siqing and the others who set off with him to inspect various places, they all sighed that the other party was born to lead troops to fight.

……

June.

The list of expeditions is also out.

With Li Jing as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, he controlled the armies. Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, was the head of the march of Jishi Road, Li Daozong, the secretary of the criminal department and the king of Rencheng, was the head of the march of Shanshan Road, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, was the head of the march of the end of the road, Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou, was the head of the march of Chishui Road, and the head of the march of Yanze Road was the head of the march of Yanze Road.

Of course!

What was not mentioned, in fact, there were also tribes of the party, which provided grain and grass for the Tang army, as well as guides.

But this is already Li Jing's job.

Li Chong first asked Li Er to list the list, then looked at the list carefully, and finally circled Li Daoyan's name.

Li Er got the list, looked at it, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Li Chong said, "This person should be bad."

"What's bad?"

Li Er asked again.

Li Chong: "He will kill tens of thousands of Tang soldiers. According to the general situation, a marching commander with 20,000 men, plus logistics, maybe, about the same."

「？」

Li Er was puzzled.

Li Chong said, "You don't trust me again?"

"It's not that I don't distrust, I just want to know why."

Li Chong sighed, there was nothing he could do with Li Er, "This is a bit long."

And then Lee Chong

It took a while to finish the matter.

"Li Jing will spend a lot of money to buy the leaders of the party and tribe and let them act as guides, but this person is greedy and cheap, and he said that he would not sneak attack people's people's defenses, but he still attacked people's houses, and in the end only a few thousand cattle and sheep were seized, and people resented him because of this, so they blocked his way forward and backward, and in the end, this road was heavily damaged, so he could only retreat to Songzhou."

"Of course! Actually, I'm not sure if it's just him, but everyone else's name is familiar, but he doesn't know him very well, so it should be him."

Li Er was also puzzled: "Since you don't know him very well, shouldn't it be him?"

Li replied, "It's very simple, no one will take their names very seriously for this kind of little minions who have lost a battle."

Li Er was instantly persuaded by his reason.

Speechless.

In fact, Li Zhongxin was distressed by the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers, otherwise, to be honest, he didn't bother to say it.

After some discussion between the two, the final list can also be announced.

When Li Jing returned to Chang'an and saw that it was Li Chong again, he could only say...... How did he feel like he was living in the shadow of Li Chong all the time?
