Helan Chushi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, Li Yong's influence on the emperor was too powerful, it was useless for the Manchu Dynasty to quarrel with the civil and military, how could it not be shocking that Li Yong encouraged the emperor to send troops? If you want to ask who is the most enkind in the court today, there is no doubt that it is Li Yong, whether it is him or His Royal Highness the Prince, they all hope that Hou Junji can lead the troops to make another meritorious battle, be able to regain his high position, and restore the holy family, but Li Yong is a hurdle that cannot be overcome! At the thought of competing with Li Yong, Helan Chushi was a little lacking in confidence, but this opportunity should not be missed, Helan Chushi groaned.

"No matter what, you can always try, Lord Yuezhang was originally a holy family, and with the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no chance, although he Li Yong has a deep holy family, but he has never led the troops to fight, and he has not proved himself at all."

Although Hou Junji was also very moved, he saw it more clearly than Helan Chushi, and shook his head.

"This expedition, you need to attack the city, so the Shenji Battalion will definitely go on the expedition, then Li Yong must be the deputy head of the march, since Li Yong and I do not agree, it is impossible for the sage to let me be the head of the march."

Although there is indeed some truth, Helan Chushi was unwilling and hurriedly said.

"Uncle Yue, how would you know if you didn't try? What if, Princess Changle and the queen mother are reluctant to let Li Yong go on the expedition, and only send the Shenji Battalion to the expedition? ”

Thinking that Princess Changle and Li Yong are very affectionate, maybe Princess Changle is really reluctant to let Li Yong go on the expedition, so she said that the saint and the queen mother were moved! Hou Junji nodded.

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the old man also recommended himself in the last chapter!"

In the past two days, there have been a lot of people looking for Li Yong, not only the generals in the army, especially Xue Wanche, who was particularly happy, Li Yong met Li Tai on the way to the palace.

"Yo, what a coincidence!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"It's not a coincidence, I'm waiting for you here!"

Li Tai asked.

Li Yong was surprised.

"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do? I'm in a hurry to enter the palace, summoned by the saint! ”

Li Tai nodded repeatedly.

"I know, it's to discuss who will lead the army!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Oh, do you want to lead the troops or do you want to recommend anyone?"

Li Tai hurriedly waved his hand.

"I'm leading my troops into battle? I haven't fought before, so how can I lead my troops into battle? I don't want to recommend anyone, I heard that the prince is going to recommend Hou Junji, and Hou Junji is also recommending himself. ”

Speaking of which, Li Taizheng said.

"Li Yong, whoever leads the army can go on the expedition, but Hou Junji is definitely not good, you must stop Hou Junji!"

"Hou Junji wants to lead the army? It's a beautiful idea! ”

Li Yong shook his head and said with a smile, not to mention that he followed the expedition, even if he didn't follow the expedition, as long as there were people from the Shenji Battalion to follow the expedition, he would never let Hou Junji lead the army, who he wanted to lead the army, he didn't necessarily have that ability, but if he didn't want Hou Junji to lead the army, he thought it was not difficult, Li Tai didn't want Hou Junji to lead the army more than Li Yong, he looked at Li Yong fixedly.

"It's up to you! I'm counting on you! ”

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, you just don't have anything to do with Hou Junji!"

How sure you are? Li Tai asked curiously.

"Don't you already know what to expect? Who is the person to lead the army? ”

Li Yong smiled slightly.

"You might never have dreamed of it! Okay, I'm going to the palace! ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the back of Li Yong's horse riding away, a candidate he couldn't dream of? There are only those generals who can take charge of the DPRK and China, and they can be counted on their fingers! How could you never dream of it? Could it be that Li Yong himself led the troops to the battle? Although this is indeed shocking, but it doesn't seem to be impossible, when Li Yong rode his horse to the palace gate, he happened to meet Cheng Yanjin and others, Cheng Yanjin and others were full of sadness, looking at Li Yong's eyes full of unkindness, since Li Yong told them that the emperor wanted to go on the expedition, how could they be entangled in their hearts, support the emperor, afraid of being drowned by Wenchen's spittle stars, not support the emperor, and afraid that the emperor will blame, Li Yong smiled and stepped forward and asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Cheng Yanjin didn't have a good airway.

"Why do you tell us? Yes? It's hard for us to sleep! ”

Li Yong said speechlessly.

"I didn't tell you, you think I didn't tell you, I told you, and you think I told you, should I tell you?"

Cheng Yanjin was speechless when he heard this, and a group of important ministers gathered in the Liangyi Palace, and Li Er's imperial case was full of chapters.

"Ministers and saints!"

"Excuse me!"

Li Er looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Thanks to Li Yong's reminder last winter, the imperial court has made preparations in advance, so although the Eastern Expedition is urgent, it is not busy, the only thing that makes a certain headache is who to let lead the troops to the expedition!"

Li Yong immediately came out and said in a deep voice.

"What the sage said is that although the sage and the minister analyzed that the Eastern Crusade had a great chance of victory, the Goguryeo people were in a bitter cold land, and their temperament was very tenacious, and the Eastern Crusade must be cautious, and because of the failure of the three Eastern Crusades of the former Sui, the ministers were afraid that the morale of the soldiers was not strong enough, so the minister felt that the candidate for the leader of the troops was very important!"

Li Er couldn't help but glance at Li Yong with satisfaction when he heard this, although this kid was good at hiding behind and watching the excitement and never came out, but it was just right to tiptoe when it was time to step on his feet, Li Er nodded.

"Li Yong is right, he has always been troubled by the affairs of the leader!"

Wei Zheng and other ministers couldn't help nodding when they heard this, what Li Yong said made sense, the candidates for the expedition should indeed be cautious, Li Er pointed to the recital on the imperial case, and said in a deep voice.

"I have read all these chapters, but it is still difficult to make a decision in my heart, although we have a great chance of winning, but the strength of Goguryeo should not be underestimated, so the ability of the generals to lead the army is extremely high, not only to be brave, but also to have strategy, and to have enough prestige, to be able to bring morale to the soldiers of the three armies, if the pharmacist is not sick, then it is naturally the most suitable! It's a pity that the pharmacist is sick! ”

Wei Zheng and the others heard it was a great pity, if Li Jing didn't call it sick, then the government and the opposition wouldn't have to be so embarrassed, Wei Zheng and the others just felt that the saint was having a headache for the candidate for the expedition, but Cheng Yanjin and the others heard the meaning of the saint's words, Li Yong really didn't lie to them, the emperor really wanted to drive the expedition in person! Just when they were thinking like this, they suddenly felt their eyes sweeping, they raised their heads slightly, and found that it was the emperor looking at them, with an inexplicable chill in their eyes, but they understood it at once, but they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, they still couldn't escape! Cheng Yanjin tilted his head slightly and glanced at Li Yong, but found that Li Yong's old god lowered his head comfortably, as if there were flowers on the ground, he was fascinated, this kid is really a slippery head!

"Who will lead the army? What a headache! ”

Li Er sighed.

Cheng Yanjin puffed up his strength and hummed.

"Yes, sage, although our Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and we have cotton clothes and cannons, we plan that the Goguryeo people are very tenacious, and it is indeed not easy to go eastward, in order to ensure the success of the Eastern Crusade, the requirements for the person who leads the army are indeed extremely high, but the minister feels that the person who leads the army is indeed difficult to find."

Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this, Cheng Yanjin said so much, they thought that Cheng Yanjin was recommended by Mao Sui again! I didn't expect that in the end, I said that the person who led the troops was really hard to find, what did this mean? Cheng Biting Jin, aren't they scrambling to lead the troops to the battle? Why are they all silent now? Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang were very puzzled, and they always felt as if something had happened that they didn't know, Li Er saw that Cheng Yanjin finally spoke, and nodded slightly with some satisfaction and asked: "Zhijie, who do you think is more appropriate to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin's mouth was bitter, and he pondered.

"Chen originally thought that Wei Gong was the most suitable candidate, but Wei Gong was sick, which made it difficult, in order to go smoothly and for the glory of the Tang Dynasty, there is always a person who is not inferior to Wei Gong to lead the troops!"

Chu Suiliang and the others were stunned when they heard this, there are still people in the DPRK who are not as capable as Wei Gong in leading troops? You'd better find one to come out and have a look! If there is really anyone who is not as capable of leading the troops as Wei Gong, do you still need to be so entangled? Wei Zheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although suddenly it suddenly dawned on him, if you want to say that there is really one person in this world who is not as capable as Li Jing in leading troops, that is, today's saint, the question is, what does Cheng Yanjin mean by suddenly saying this today? Is it because you want the saint to be unable to conquer the royal family? What are you kidding, this is not a battle of life and death in the Tang Dynasty, why do you need a saint to drive in person? The war to destroy the Turks back then, it was a battle to repay the country's shame, and the emperor did not drive a personal expedition, this was just to save Silla, do you still need to drive a personal expedition? And this is not a question of whether you need it or not, as an emperor, it is about the society of the country, can you take risks lightly? Just as Wei Zheng's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, Li Er opened his mouth and asked.

"Oh? Who else in the DPRK and China can't lead the troops under the pharmacist? ”

Li Jing is recognized as the number one general today, who else can't lead the troops Li Jing? Wei Chigong scratched his head and said.

"Of course it's a saint!"

As soon as Wei Chigong's words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent, Chu Suiliang and they were not stupid, they didn't understand when they heard this, what did the emperor and Cheng bite Jin and Wei Chigong meant by singing and harmonizing, Wei Zhenggong shouted.

"Sage, Lu Guogong and E Guogong actually instigated the sage to conquer in person, and their hearts should be punished!"

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin were startled when they heard this, Wei Zheng's old thief said too ruthlessly, what happened to Yu Zheng? Has the saint fought fewer battles in this life? Li Er was not surprised at all in his heart, because he had expected the opposition of Wei Zheng and others, Li Er said in a deep voice.

"I think that what Zhijie and Jingde said is reasonable, the pharmacist is sick, and he is really a little worried, if he drives in person, he will be able to boost morale."

"The saint is the Ninety-Five, and he is responsible for the Li Min Society, how can he take the risk of his own life?"

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and others came out to admonish, and Li Er got up and smiled proudly.

"It's just the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, I want to scold Fang Xuan and dominate the world back then, what is the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo?"

Chu Sui is good.

"Saint, time has passed, the saint was the king of Qin, and it was the responsibility of God to give the saint the responsibility to unify the world, so the saint led the army to fight, and now the saint is already the ninety-five, and governing the world is the responsibility of the saint given by God!"

Fang Xuanling admonished.

"Yes, sage, the court is busy, the sage should put the society first, the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo to rescue Silla is just a trivial matter, how can the sage take risks for this?"

Li Er slowly got up and put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

"The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, to solve the danger of Silla, you have said a lot about the advantages of this, and I will not say more, since it has been decided to go east to Goguryeo, a certain heart attaches great importance to it, at the beginning of a certain also wanted to send a big general to lead the army to the East, and now the army of Goguryeo is attacking Silla, and the army of our dynasty is marching eastward, so the army of Goguryeo will inevitably return to help and give up attacking Silla, so as long as I send troops to the court, then Silla will definitely be saved, but since we have sent troops to the court, there must be a battle with Goguryeo, in a certain opinion, this battle is very important, Why is it that when the Eastern Crusade is mentioned, the government and the opposition are all talking about it, and countless people are shocked, what qualifications does Goguryeo, a small country, have to make such a certain subject so jealous? Because the three eastern crusades of the former Sui Dynasty were all in vain, with countless casualties, the people of the Central Plains had a sense of fear of Goguryeo, and they were afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years! Silla is a subject state of our Tang Dynasty, why did Goguryeo dare to raise troops to attack Silla? It's not because of the lack of reverence for our Central Plains Dynasty, so this battle is particularly important, because this is a battle to wash away shame! Some, I want all the people to be able to hold their heads up in the face of any country! ”

For a while, the quiet needle drop in the hall could be heard, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and other generals were even more excited, their faces were flushed, they couldn't let Goguryeo be in awe, but the subjects of the Tang Dynasty were in awe of Goguryeo, this is the shame of the generals, even Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but be silent after listening to the emperor's words, they also had to admit that what the emperor said was indeed reasonable, since the troops were dispatched, they should obey Goguryeo and play the self-confidence of the Tang people, so this battle is indeed very important, if it is not the emperor's personal conquest, I don't know if Li Jing is really sick or afraid that the master will not dare to lead the troops to the battle, Yu Shinan said in a deep voice.

"The sage is reasonable, the Eastern Crusade is indeed very important to the Tang Dynasty, however, the British Duke, the King of Hejian County, etc. are all famous generals in the world, on the other hand, there are no famous generals in Goguryeo, why not the sage of Lao to drive the expedition in person?"

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Mao Gong and others followed a certain southern expedition to the north, of course they are famous generals, but they still can't rest assured!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er glanced at Li Yong and asked.

"Li Yong, what do you think?"

Cheng Yanjin and the others heard this, it was like hearing the sound of immortals, they all rushed to the front and were sprayed by Wei Zheng and others, but Li Yong kept his head down and pretended to be dead, what is this called! Now that the emperor has directly opened his mouth to take the roll call, seeing how Li Yong still lowered his head and pretended to be dead, for a while, they were a little gloating in their hearts.
