To tell the truth, when this holy decree came down, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were relieved, what they were most afraid of was that now Li Xiang and Li Shimin were facing each other, you grandchildren and grandchildren had a problem, then you can pick a time, but you must not pick this time.

The 200,000 troops outside the city are waiting for each other, and everyone wants to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield of Goguryeo, but now that your grandfather and grandson are facing each other, if it is just an ordinary family conflict, then no one here cares about such a matter, but if it affects the entire Tang Dynasty, then this is not a trivial matter.

Many ministers of the court were hesitating, whether to persuade them, just when they hesitated, the imperial eunuchs went to the East Palace to announce the decree, Li Xiang was officially inaugurated as the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, but the emperor no longer drove the expedition in person.

Li Shimin is also a bit petty in doing this, that is, you want to throw everything to Li Xiang, aren't you very capable? Then you can stand whatever the problem is, and you can go and talk to the soldiers in the camp yourself.

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Li Xiang generously took over this holy decree, General Li Jing, as the head of the march, followed himself to the expedition Li Xiang has a spectrum in his heart, in addition to Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang, plus his own system generals, what else can happen along the way?

Although the emperor will not take the imperial conquest in person, it will be a blow to the soldiers, but we still have an absolute advantage, according to Li Xiang's calculations, the probability of victory should be more than 85 percent, and the 15 percent can also be continued to be reduced through human reasons.

"Your Highness, you should go to the palace for a trip, long live the Lord is not happy."

After finishing the serious business, Wang De whispered beside him.

"Thank you, princess, go back and change your clothes next."

Li Xiang smiled bitterly, he has already taken the lead, he has to bow his head where he should bow his head, and he has to deal with the aftermath where he should take care of the aftermath, Li Xiang is going to go to the barracks tomorrow morning, and there are two important things to do today, go to the palace to comfort Li Shimin, this is the first thing.

Wang De and Li Xiang came back and forth, Wang De naturally entered the Qinzheng Hall very easily, he is the chief eunuch here, Li Xiang is not so easy, now the sun is noon, Li Xiang can only kneel outside, if there is no emperor, he has to kneel here all the time.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiang, although he was kneeling outside at the moment, showing great respect, but Li Shimin's heart was also uncomfortable, although he handed over the position of generalissimo to Li Xiang, but you should resign, who knew that this kid would take it like this.

For a full hour, Li Xiang's knee already felt a little painful, Wang Decai came in from inside, beckoned Li Xiang to go in, Li Xiang raised his head and looked at the palace, and knew in his heart what Li Shimin thought, he couldn't let himself get this handsome man so easily.

"Say hello to grandpa."

After entering the main hall, Li Xiang immediately changed his face and slapped a sweet date, this truth is useful to everyone, including the emperor, although Li Xiang won the political struggle, but he had to make the emperor feel energetic, when Li Xiang said the word grandfather, the dissatisfaction in Li Shimin's heart had gone to one-third.

"Get up."

He had been kneeling outside for a long time, so when he was in the house, Li Shimin did not make things difficult for Li Xiang.

"The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is a big deal, although the advantages are now on our side, but you still have to take it seriously, Emperor Yang of Sui suffered a loss in this, I also suffered a loss in this, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not suffer a loss after you go."

Seeing Li Xiang's cynical appearance, Li Shimin immediately straightened his face, there is no longer so much dissatisfaction in his heart at this time, how to say that it is also his grandson, Li Shimin feels that it is not ashamed to lose in the hands of his grandson, there should be such a grandson who should feel happy, if such a demon is in someone else's house, then Li Shimin is estimated to be unable to sleep at night.

"I wonder what my grandfather wants to become of Goguryeo?"

Li Xiang saw that Li Shimin's expression eased, and now he has to talk about some serious things, there is not much time between now and the expedition, Li Xiang has to know the purpose of Li Shimin's heart, in case there is something wrong with what he does at that time, there may be trouble after coming back, it is better to ask clearly before going on the expedition.

"Liaodong Protectorate."

Li Shimin said while writing, in the end, he is eloquent, and he can already express his thoughts in five words.

Goguryeo has repeatedly provoked the Central Plains Dynasty, Li Shimin is no longer ready to leave them a way to live, even if it is like Tuyuhun, Goguryeo must also become a territory of the Tang Dynasty, you people can be regarded as playing too far.

"My grandson vowed to pacify Goguryeo within four months."

Li Xiang knew that he had to give Li Shimin a word to get the position of marshal in this way, otherwise Li Shimin would not be able to find a balance, not to mention that Li Xiang had already read Goguryeo's information very thoroughly, and if I couldn't win Goguryeo within four months, then I would not be worthy of this position.

"There is no joke in the army."

Li Shimin glanced up at Li Xiang, of course he knew Li Xiang's ability to lead troops to fight, and he had verified his talent in several wars, Goguryeo's strength was not as good as Tuyuhun to put it bluntly, but Goguryeo was far away from Chang'an, Tuyuhun was all grasslands, Goguryeo was a large number of cities, and it was indeed difficult to take Goguryeo in three months.

"Please rest assured that my grandfather will definitely take Goguryeo within three months, and if he makes a mistake, he will be willing to be punished."

Li Xiang said with great confidence, with the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty, plus his own system army and the blessing of gunpowder, if he can't take Goguryeo in three months, it will be a joke.

"Go back and prepare, you don't have to come to me before you leave."

Li Shimin nodded silently, and knew that there were only a few days left, and there was no need for Li Xiang to come here to coax the old man, it was better to see how to boost morale, after all, Li Shimin would not go out with the army, and it would be a big blow to the entire army.

Li Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief after coming out, although Li Shimin had all kinds of ideas, but when facing national events, he was still able to put himself in the right position, and the sullen breath in his heart couldn't get out, but the most important thing was the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Li Shimin would rather hold this sullen breath, and he had to explain the affairs of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and he was also a responsible emperor......
