Cheng Yanjin felt that the candidate for the deputy chief manager was very likely to be Li Yong, plus Li Yong's holy family, basically whoever Li Yong recommended, who was the chief of the march, although this sounds a little incredible, it is still possible to say that the chief manager recommends the deputy general manager, but the deputy general manager recommends the general manager, I always feel a little incredible, but it is not against Li Yong at all, so Cheng Yanjin felt very surprised, if Li Yong firmly recommended him, then he felt that the matter of the expedition was stable, Li Yong smiled and nodded.

"Of course! Uncle, don't worry, you're indispensable on the expedition! ”

Li Yong can say that he dares to pat his chest and pack the ticket, because he knows that this expedition is the emperor's personal expedition, and it can be said that most of the generals in the court will go out with the army, of course, Cheng Biting Jin is also indispensable, so Li Yong agreed very happily, this favor is not taken advantage of, Cheng Biting Jin heard Li Yong's very positive answer, an old face flushed with excitement, and laughed.

"Okay, okay, the old man didn't hurt you in vain, I went to sit with the old man these days, and the old man has recently gotten a few good skins!"

"Uncle is too polite, it's a trivial matter!"

Li Yong said with a smile, after Li Yong left, Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed, and his mouth was almost closed, and after getting off the horse, Cheng Yanjin walked out of the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize him, and immediately shouted when he saw the person in front of him.

"Old Yan! Old Yan! ”

Yan Liben stopped, looked back, and said slightly

"It turned out to be Lu Guogong!"

Cheng Yanjin stepped forward and put a heavy hand on Yan Liben's body and said with a smile.

"Old Yan, do you know that Liaodong is going to change!"

Yan Liben stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground, feeling the hot pain in his shoulder, he was very helpless, I am just a painter, not a martial artist, so strong, who can stand it? But Yan Liben soon didn't care about whether it hurt or not, he was shocked by the change in Liaodong, but anyone who has experienced the Sui Dynasty, who doesn't tremble when they hear the word Liaodong? The song of the death of the undirected Liaodong wave spread all over the country back then! How could this change suddenly occur in Liaodong? Yan Liben hurriedly asked.

"Liaodong is changing? What do you mean? ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"You don't know that, do you? Goguryeo is moving troops! Maybe it's already encroaching on the border by now! ”

Yan Liben was surprised when he heard this.

"Goguryeo is mobilizing troops to invade the border? Is this true? Why didn't you hear any wind at all? ”

If there is a war in Liaodong, how can the DPRK and China be so calm? Cheng Yanjin nodded.

"Of course it's true, the news of the border invasion hasn't come yet, and it's estimated that it's coming soon!"

"What does it mean to be fast? Could it be that the prince of the country can still predict the prophet? ”

Yan Liben wondered, is Cheng Lao Demon reliable? Nonsense, of course Cheng Laoyou is unreliable, but no matter how unreliable Cheng Laoyou's score, it is impossible for him to mess around with such an important military situation, right? Cheng Yanjin explained with a smile.

"Of course, the old man can't be unpredictable, Li Yong has a caravan to Goguryeo, do you know? It's the news they kept coming back! ”

Yan Liben was slightly stunned when he heard this, it turned out to be Li Yong! Although his status in the court is not high, he has a good relationship with Li Yong, quite familiar, Li Yong often comes to his house with a line of heavenly wine, and always brings back a few paintings every time he is a guest.

"Ah, it's the news that Rong Guogong got it!"

Yan Liben said, Cheng Biting Jin patted Yan Liben's shoulder heavily and asked.

"What? Don't believe Li Yong's kid? ”

The current Li Yong is not a rising star, he can already be called a big man in the court, what are you kidding, that's the county prince! And he is also a county prince with a deep family, although his qualifications and age are much older than Li Yong, but his status in the court is really not as good as Li Yong, to be precise, it is far inferior to Li Yong, Yan Liben hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Believe, of course!"

The shadow of the famous tree, since it was said by Li Yong, who doesn't believe it?

"Goguryeo dared to provoke a war, what a boldness! What can I do? ”

Yan Liben was a little worried, and Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"What to do? Of course, it's to do him Goguryeo, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are brave and invincible, can they still be afraid of Goguryeo? ”

While speaking, Cheng Biting Jin patted his chest, the meaning was very obvious, brother, do you think the old man is fierce? However, Yan Liben didn't notice these at all, he was still thinking about the impact of the changes in Liaodong, it was an eventful time! Cheng Yanjin let go of Yan Liben because another person appeared in front of him.

"Hey! Lao Cen! ”

Cheng Yanjin shouted while striding forward, Cen Wenwen knew who it was when he heard the voice, and a trace of helplessness flashed on his face when he stopped and turned around, as a civil official, the person he didn't want to meet in Chang'an was probably Cheng Yanjin! Oh, and Yu Chi Gong.

"Oh, it turned out to be Lu Guogong? What a coincidence! ”

Cen Wenwen smiled, Cheng Biting Jin slapped Cen Wenwen's body, Cen Wenwen gritted his teeth and didn't scream, and said helplessly.

"The old man's body bones can't stand your shooting like this!"

"The old man didn't use his strength!"

Cheng Yanjin looked innocent, forget it, it doesn't make sense to the boss, Cen Wenwen has given up, Cheng Yanjin asked.

"Lao Cen, do you know about the changes in Liaodong? Oh, you certainly don't know! ”

Cen Wenwen was taken aback and asked.

"What? Liaodong is changing? Is it Liaodong Emergency? ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said.

"That's not it, the news from Liaodong hasn't come yet!"

Cen Wenwen is speechless, aren't you kidding the old man? Thinking of Cheng Biting Jin's unrelenting temperament, it seems that this possibility is not impossible.

"There is no urgent report, so how do you know that Liaodong has changed?"

Cen Wenwen asked, Cheng Yanjin explained with a smile, Cen Wenwen's face became solemn, it turned out to be Li Yong's news! That can't be fake.

"Li Yong has already entered the palace to report to the sage, but there is no need to worry too much, just those dogs and cubs in Goguryeo, let the old man lead the troops, and see if they are killed!"

Cheng Biting Jin said, I heard Cheng Biting Jin This means that I want to lead the troops to the battle! Also, which military general in the DPRK and China does not want to lead the army? However, he didn't think that Cheng Biting Jin was the right person, either questioning Cheng Biting Jin's ability, or thinking that his unstingy temperament was unreliable, Cen Wenwen's casual look on his face disappeared, and he became very dignified, since Li Yong entered the palace to report to the emperor, there must be no fake, I just don't know what the scale of the war provoked by Goguryeo is, if you really want to start a big war, then there is no doubt that Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, is the most suitable person, although he has retired, but it is not easy to go east to Goguryeo, Wei Guogong Li Jing is recognized as the first general of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the safest to let Li Jing take command. Thanks to Cheng biting Jin's big mouth, the news of Liaodong's imminent change spread rapidly in the government and the opposition, coupled with the confirmation of the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, the government and the opposition are even more convinced of this, the original quiet winter suddenly became hot, the ministers were worried, worried, and the generals wrote to ask for troops, and even the people also talked about it, although the three eastern crusades of the former Sui were not long ago, but the people in the market were still indignant about it, Over the years, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been thriving, the Western Regions have been prestigious, and the people of Chang'an have all straightened their waists and behaved, and now they suddenly heard that Goguryeo actually took the initiative to provoke, which was simply unbearable.

"You don't know! The former Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, and each time it launched a million army and recruited countless husbands, which caused chaos in the world, with unparalleled casualties, and still failed to defeat Goguryeo! ”

"Phew! Emperor Yang of Sui is the king of the dead country, can he compare with His Majesty today? ”

"That's just as well!"

"Back then, Emperor Yang of Sui was still besieged by the Turks at Yanmen Pass! Our Datang Dynasty destroyed the Turks in one fell swoop, can that be the same? ”

"That's right, not only saints and saints, but also many virtuous ministers and famous generals in our court!"

"There is also the Rongfu County Prince, the Rongfu County Princess, is not just a talent! It's still a strange person! ”

"When it comes to the Rongfu Jungong, don't mention muskets and artillery, you can definitely beat the Goguryeo people to the ground!"

Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's three Eastern Crusades made people gasp, but after the people discussed, they felt that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty today was no longer comparable to that of the former Sui Dynasty, and now it is the Holy Son of Heaven in the court, there are many virtuous ministers and famous generals, and there are demons like Rongfu Jungong, the most important thing is that everyone has come to the door, no matter what, they can't be coaxed, just when the government and the opposition are talking, Li Yong is very calm, there is no indignation at all, not only Li Yong is a little calm, even the emperor is a little calm, It's just that from time to time some orders for troops, food and grass are issued, all of which have been implemented very smoothly, there is no opposition in the government and the opposition, even Wei Zheng has no voice, Wei Zheng is also a courtier who has experienced the battle of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and is not afraid of war, if Goguryeo takes the initiative to provoke a war, the most important thing is that the government and the opposition unite to blow up Goguryeo's dog head and fight hard! It hurts! They no longer dare to start the war lightly, the ministers take care of government affairs, the generals are ready to show their skills, the government and the opposition are waiting for the urgent report from Liaodong, Xue Wanche rode straight to Lijiazhuang.

"County Prince, the urgent news from Liaodong should be coming soon, right?"

Xue Wanche asked sneakily, Liaodong Urgent Report? Liaodong urgently reported that the subjects of the Tang Dynasty were afraid of attacking Goguryeo, but Goguryeo was afraid of being attacked by the Tang Dynasty! Although the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui failed, Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses, and almost perished, and now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still above that of the former Sui! The Goguryeo monarchs and ministers were very wary of the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to mobilize troops against the Tang Dynasty, so how could there be an emergency? Li Yong snorted.

"Who knows when the emergency will come!"

Xue Wanche said urgently

"If you want to go east, then the prince must be the deputy governor, and I am willing to be the vanguard of the county prince!"

Li Yong was a little confused, why am I the deputy manager? The emperor will drive the expedition in person! Where did these rumors come from? It was also passed on, but some words could not be explained to Xue Wanche, Li Yong said with a smile.

"You only came back from Jiangnan in the fall, and you still want to go on the expedition? Don't rest much, spend more time with Princess Danyang! ”

Rest and rest? On the one hand, he misses the feeling of galloping on the battlefield, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to rest and rest! Yes, he went out to fight on the battlefield just to take the opportunity to rest and rest, of course, it is not good to say this to Li Yong, Xue Wanche hurriedly said.

"Where do you need to rest, just go to Jiangnan, I'm not tired at all, I don't need to rest at all, of course I, Xue Wanche, have to fight on the battlefield, so I can live up to this bravery!"

Xue Wanche was right, when he galloped all the way down the Jiangnan, he really didn't feel tired, he felt energetic all the way to the horse, and his muscles and bones were active, but sometimes his legs were a little weak in Chang'an, Li Yong didn't think much about it, a fierce general like Xue Wanche was simply born for the battlefield, and it was normal to be impatient to go on the expedition, and Li Yong felt that Li Eryu drove the expedition in person, Xue Wanche would definitely go out with the army, first, wouldn't it be a pity for a fierce general like Xue Wanche to stay in Chang'an? Second, Xue Wanche used to be Li Jiancheng's confidant general, of course, it is most appropriate to let him go with the army, Li Yong said with a smile.

"That's right, you were born to fight on the battlefield, it's a pity if you stay in Chang'an, don't worry, if you go on the expedition, you will definitely have your share!"

Xue Wanche didn't think much about it when he heard it, he thought that Li Yong meant that if Li Yong went on the expedition, he would inevitably take him with him, Xue Wanche was relieved when he heard it, and said with great joy.

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Gunny! ”

Lao Xue is so honest that Li Yong is really embarrassed, so he can only laugh.

"Which of us is with whom? Do you still need to be so polite? ”

Xue Wanche scratched his head when he heard this, and his heart was moved, for Li Yong, he had a feeling that he was dying as a confidant, and Li Yong really didn't say to him, it was very good, if Li Yong went on the expedition, then he was willing to be the striker under Li Yong's command, and he would help Li Yong fight a big victory if he said anything, Xue Wanche went back happily, and was already ready to go on the expedition, because he estimated that the urgent report from Liaodong was about to arrive, not only Xue Wanche felt so, but the generals in the court all felt so, and they wrote to ask for the expedition, They felt that they couldn't wait until the urgent report of Liaodong to come before going on the expedition, the army rushed to Liaodong, the daylilies were cold, and the army of Goguryeo might have captured the city long ago, even if it couldn't capture the city, it would burn and loot, so there was no need to wait for the urgent report from Liaodong, just send troops directly. There is no war in Liaodong now, and there can be no urgent report, he just wants to prepare grain and grass in advance, but he doesn't want to transfer troops to Liaodong in advance, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others couldn't help but run to the palace, Li Er listened to it and just said lightly that it is not clear what the situation in Liaodong is now, and then talk about it when the emergency report arrives, Cheng Yanjin They are a little confused, what is the situation in Liaodong, it will not be over if the troops are sent directly, even if there is an urgent report from Liaodong to Chang'an, Liaodong is so far away from Chang'an, and the situation on the emergency report is also the situation in Liaodong before.
