The next day, inside the Taiji Hall.

Cheng Yanjin stood in his position with a dying face.

Listening to the court's ministers discussing the aftermath of the snow disaster, he was already tired of it.

These guys know all day long that they talk on paper.

The victims of the snow disaster have been unable to find a solution for a long time.

Cheng Yanjin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

But he is only a military general, and leading troops to fight is his forte.

It can provide disaster relief and reassure the people......

I don't know Lao Cheng!

Originally, he thought that today was also a dry day, but he didn't expect-

"I want to send troops and horses from Hebei Prefectures to Goguryeo, what do you think?"

Cheng Yanjin plucked out his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

The civil and military officials were also stunned, suspecting that they had not woken up yet, and were still in a dream.

Your Majesty, what are you crazy about? In all dynasties, have you ever heard of a disaster year when foreign troops were mobilized?

When Cheng Yanjin turned his head and saw that the other ministers of civil and military affairs were also shocked, he realized that he had heard correctly, His Majesty planned to use troops against Goguryeo!

Cheng Biting Jin, who realized this, shook his fists: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go for Your Majesty, and I will definitely beat that Shilaozi Goguryeo to the ground!" ”

However, Cheng Yanjin's request for battle also made the civil and military officials react.

The old minister, who had white hair, hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty! The country is plagued by snow, the treasury has no surplus food, and the people are still hungry and cold! It's not time to make a big splash at this time, Your Majesty! ”

This person is Liu Zhenghui, who is in charge of the household department.

On the other side, Li Ji of the military department also opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. But one is that it is difficult to transfer troops in snowy days, and the other is that it is difficult to transport grain and grass, so it is better to wait until the ice and snow melt before going to war! ”

As these two bigwigs spoke, the civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and the voices of exhortation came and went.

In the end, even Wei Zheng joined in and said loudly:

"Please think twice, Your Majesty! Please take back your order! ”

Seeing Zheng Guogong taking the lead, other officials echoed one after another:

"Please think twice, Your Majesty! Please take back your order! ”

Seeing this situation, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be anxious:

"If you don't fight, I'll fight! My old Cheng has long been tired of staying in Chang'an! Your Majesty, you want me to go this time to go on this expedition! ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense! Military affairs, is it child's play! ”

Fang Xuanling, who was the prime minister, also dissuaded: "Bite the gold! Now that my Datang has just encountered a disaster, the treasury is empty, and there is no money and food for you to take to the front line, you should stop. ”

Although he met everyone's rebuttal in unison, he Cheng Biting Jin was a person who was afraid of things, and even if he wanted to fight again.

Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side stood up.

Liu Zhenghui and others were immediately overjoyed.

His Majesty was indifferent to all the admonitions he had.

Even a single Cheng Biting Jin couldn't persuade him.

But Zhao Guogong is different, he is the brother of the eldest grandson queen!

Uncle's words, Your Majesty, you should listen to it!

So, under the anticipation of the ministers, the eldest grandson Wuji was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the army of Hebei is not enough to conquer Goguryeo, and it is necessary to gather Luoyang, Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses in the battalion.

"Only by marching together in this way can we kill the enemy with one blow and ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Liu Zhenghui hurriedly said: "Just as Zhao Guogong said, it is not appropriate for me to use troops in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

However, as soon as the words fell, he felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, what the eldest grandson Wuji said was not that he should not fight, but that he felt that there were not enough soldiers and horses sent, and he wanted to expand the scale of the war!

Lose your marbles!

The old Li family is crazy!

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Lao Liu, have you changed your ways?" ”

Liu Zhenghui: I'm not! I didn't!

But at this time, he didn't have time to pay attention to Cheng Biting Jin anymore.

You must know that since Fang Xiang's death, the prestige of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court has increased day by day.

Now even he agrees with His Majesty to send troops, so ......

Before Liu Zhenghui could think about it, an urgent report interrupted the thoughts of the hundred officials.

"Report! Yingzhou military situation, 100,000 urgent! ”

As soon as I dozed off, someone brought me a pillow.

Yingzhou is adjacent to Liaodong, and the military situation of Yingzhou must be related to Goguryeo!

So Li Shimin said: "Pass in!" ”

Subsequently, a cavalryman was carried in.

All the ministers looked at each other, and they all gasped.

I saw that the cavalryman's face was pale, his lips were chapped and bloody, and the armor on his body was also tattered.

What was particularly striking was the red blood on the sides of his thighs, which were still oozing red under the white gauze wrap.

Generals who have been fighting abroad all year round know that this is the pain caused by a long period of horseback riding.

What kind of urgent information can make this cavalry look like this?

"Your Majesty...... Heavy snow fell in Goguryeo, and the dynasty was in turmoil. ”

"Goguryeo's minister Quan Gai Suwen killed the regent of the king, and he is gathering troops and horses, intending to enter the south to attack my Tang Dynasty and plunder grain and grass."

It seems that after the news was passed and the mission was completed, as soon as the cavalry's voice fell, he could no longer support it and passed out.

However, the news of the cavalry caused an uproar in the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister Chi Gong, ask for a battle, and swear to fight to the death with Goguryeo!"

"Chen Qin Qiong, please fight!"

"Chen Li Ji, please fight!"

"Minister Li Jing, please fight!"

……

Originally, most of the military generals did not advocate sending troops to recruit in this disaster year.

After all, the war is fought by national strength, and because of this continuous heavy snowfall, Datang is extremely weak at this time, and there is no doubt that there are disadvantages and disadvantages in fighting.

But now that everyone is planning to go south to plunder, who can endure this breath of bird's anger, so they have asked to go to war.

In fact, Goguryeo has always been a lesion that plagued the rivers and mountains of the Great Han Dynasty.

As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Goguryeo cooperated with Cao Han, they sent troops to attack Liaodong County.

And after that, he fought against the Sui Dynasty for an entire dynasty.

Among them, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times in order to conquer Goguryeo, causing millions of lives to be lost and squandering the people's power, which also laid the groundwork for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Until the reign of Emperor Gaozu, there was also friction with Goguryeo, and the army was lost.

In Cheng Yanjin's words, it is:

"Those barbarians of Goguryeo are all very bad!"

Juli transited like a locust.

Even the egg yolk is going to be shaken up for him, and even the innocent dog on the side of the road has to be beaten by two big buckets!

Seeing that the military attaches of the Manchu Dynasty all invited to fight, Li Shimin was also in a good mood.

It seems that I am in China, and the Tang Tiger generals are still backbone and courageous!

In this way, it is not a problem to take Goguryeo!

So, he pondered for a while, pointed at Li Jing, and asked:

"Wei Guogong, you want to fight?"

Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin and the others turned their envious eyes on Li Jing.

Your Majesty is going to turn over Pharmacist Li's brand!

But who knows, Li Jing's next sentence poured a basin of cold water on Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please bring 10,000 troops! Defend Liaodong and don't let Goguryeo set foot in my Tang Dynasty land for half a step! ”

Li Jing made a military order, and his ambition was high.

But that's not what Li Shimin wants!

He said coldly:

"What I want is to conquer Goguryeo and incorporate it into my Tang territory!"
