In fact, if Li Chengqian doesn't go, then these people should be enough.

But now that Li Chengqian is gone, there are not enough of these people.

Of course, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, and any one of them can make up for the vacancy on this list.

It's just that......

If these people are pulled in, it is difficult to say whether these people will listen to Su Dingfang's command.

Hearing Wu's question, Li Chong said, "Don't ask so many children."

Wu: "......"

After a pause, Wu said again, "I'm not too young."

Li Chong said, "In my eyes, you are still young."

She hasn't broken her yet.

Then he said, "If you really have nothing to do, just serve me obediently."

Wu had no choice but to bury his head down.

Li Zhong felt that this list was still not good.

There has to be some more generals.

Niu Jinda was good before!

The main thing is that Niu Jinda is relatively low-key.

Come to think of it, there shouldn't be any competition with Su Dingfang for any command.

If you are not afraid that the enemy is too strong in battle, you are afraid that you will have pig teammates by your side.

……

And at the same time.

Li Er's side......

Datang definitely has no cotton.

Merely......

As long as you have money, you can buy even a good horse from the Western Regions.

In order to make it better for Li Jing and Wuxiao to go to Liaodong in the future, let's get them a cotton coat.

Next, Zhenguan fifteen years.

Only a month passed.

Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and Niu Jinda all arrived at the East Palace.

Of course, there is also the princess's mansion and Wang Yan.

There were six people in total.

Li Chong then said directly to the point: "Next, you will go to Goguryeo with His Royal Highness the Prince."

After everyone listened, they all looked at Li Chong.

Although......

The people here are more or less related to the war.

For example, Liu Renliang, he once served as a member of the army in Xizhou, which means military staff officer.

As for Pei Xingjian, it was Zuo Tunwei's Cangcao who joined the army, which is almost equivalent to being in charge of warehouses, grain, grass, and ordnance.

But the question is......

They don't have much experience in fighting.

If only they had gone on their own.

After all, for the sake of Datang, it doesn't matter if he dies, but now, if he wants to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with him, then the pressure will be greater.

I saw that everyone opened their mouths wide, as if they were about to make a "forehead ......" sound.

Li Chong said, "What, what questions do you have?"

Liu Renliang said bluntly, "Isn't this going to die?"

All I can say is......

He is such a upright person, he likes to have one thing to say.

And Li Chengqian, who was listening to the conversation on the sidelines, actually felt the same way.

This reminded him of when he was very young, and his teacher took him to climb mountains.

I almost starved to death.

Li Zhong listened to the other party's words, and said very calmly: "I don't allow you to be so unconfident in yourself! You have to believe that you are all dragons and phoenixes among people, one in a million."

When Xue Rengui heard this, he was very encouraged.

After all......

It's the first time someone has said that he is the dragon and phoenix among people, one in a million.

Niu Jinda felt that Li Zhong was bragging. Where is there any person who is one of the dragons and phoenixes, one in a million? Of course! He'd seen the power of the artillery, but even so, he felt a bit risky.

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not put his life at risk."

Subsequently, the cow entered the poop

To Li Chengqian.

Although Li Chengqian is reluctant to go, this lineup, how to play, let's give him a Li Shiji. But......

Then he said, "I believe in the teacher. The teacher will not let Hongu go to death. You don't look famous, but I believe that the teacher will never be wrong."

Pei Xingjian was also a little modest at this time: "Kechen has no experience, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Li Chong said, "I'm afraid. What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I need is someone as cautious as you."

Su Dingfang asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there this time?"

Li Chong: "It depends on how much you can recruit, at least, there should be 40,000 or 50,000." It's too little, and it won't work, after all, in case it's surrounded. Moreover, there were many cities in Goguryeo, and maybe after some of them were defeated, they would have to divide their troops. Speaking of which...... Su Lie, do you like not obeying orders?"

Su Dingfang; 「……」

Li Chong: "Last time, I asked you to kill Tubo Zanpu, but you didn't do it."

Su Dingyi said with a weak heart: "I see that there are still a lot of people on the other side, and if we are in a hurry, our side will increase the damage."

Li Chong took a deep breath and said, "It's really good that you can take care of the soldiers, but have you ever wondered why I want you to do this?"

Su Dingfang: "......"

Li Chong: "Of course, you're actually doing a good job. The reason why I want to make artillery is that I don't want to have too many casualties among the Tang soldiers in the future. I don't want to see a wife lose her husband and a parent lose a son. But...... If you don't listen to the command like this, you will throw trouble on me and Your Majesty."

"It's not that you won't be allowed to do that, but ...... I hope you weigh the pros and cons before making a decision."

After speaking, Li Chong returned to the theme and said: "This time to fight Goguryeo, the main thing is to kill the enemy and plunder the population, Goguryeo is not an enemy who will surrender easily, and they will also surrender and rebel, which Emperor Yang of Sui has already suffered in the Sui Dynasty."

"Therefore...... Your task this time is to kill if you can, kill what you can't, and bring back what you can bring back at the same time, bring it back to us for iron smelting and mining. Datang is very short of iron now."

"And if it is the Han people who did not enter Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty and are willing to return to the Central Plains, then treat them as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, Your Majesty and I will make arrangements for them according to the situation."

Everyone was silent.

This is really going to go.

Niu Jinda said, "So...... We don't have to take down all the cities?"

Li Chong: "If you can fight, if you can't, then you will destroy their army first." Of course, the ultimate goal is to take Liaodong City, but it depends on whether you have the ability. If you don't have that ability, then you can come back halfway."

was said by Li Chong, and everyone immediately felt that this was a bit of a contempt.

What does it mean to be unbeatable?

They won't be able to beat Goguryeo?

Look at what kind of equipment the Tang Army generally has, almost everyone is wearing armor, and the self-confidence will come up in an instant.

In addition to Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian.

But......

If there are forty or fifty thousand people, it should be fine.

Truth be told, it was the first time they had led so many soldiers.

Although I don't know where Li Chong's confidence comes from.

But......

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

So......

They soon stopped refusing.

Anyway......

If you really can't beat it then, then let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ride his horse and run first.
