The prince asked for a change of commander and general, this is not a trivial matter.

Originally, the court meeting was still discussing the transfer of grain from Bashu to Luoyang, thinking that the army would need grain and grass in the future, but as soon as Yang Ming's incident came out, everyone had no mind to discuss other things.

After all, the selection of generals is the top priority in the conquest of foreign clans, and it has already been decided, but the prince's intervention will naturally cause a storm.

Su Wei glanced at Niu Hong with his eyes, wanting to see what the other party meant.

The two have been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, and there are some things that can be understood by eye contact, and without Gao Xi, the two of them do not agree with each other, so they need to use their eyes to unify their positions without psychological preparation in advance.

Niu Hong was also suspicious in his heart, after all, changing the commander is a very big thing, judging from the prince's previous stability, he should not move such a thought at this time, as Yu Wenshu said, the twenty-fourth route army is already preparing, and it is not appropriate to change the commander at this time.

He really respects Yang Ming, not only because the prince is benevolent and loves the people, and he is old-fashioned, but also because the prince often goes out to protect people.

Gao Xi is protected by him, Shi Wansui is protected by him, Xue Daoheng is still protected by him, among the three people, two of them are Niu Hongzhi's friends, so he thinks that befriending the prince has an advantage, in case he steps on the wrong foot in the future and is about to fall into the abyss, then only the prince can protect him.

At this point, Niu Hong felt that he had to support the prince.

So he stood up and said: "The minister thinks that Li Jing, Yang Yichen, and Zhang Dinghe are all fierce generals, and the three of them have already proved themselves on the battlefield, and Lu Guogong needless to say, he has never tasted defeat in his life, and with the victorious general as the commander, the military heart can be used." ”

As soon as he heard this, Su Wei understood what to do, so he also echoed:

"Lu Guogong has been at home for a year and a half, I heard that he is in good health, he is completely competent, this expedition, is a righteous battle of my Great Sui with the strength of the country, the commander of the selection can not be sloppy at all, in terms of seniority and prestige, Lu Guogong is undoubtedly better."

Yu Wenshu was completely stunned, Shangshu Province shot left and right, and they all stood up against him, and also brought a future prince, in this situation, if you want to turn the tables, there is only one possibility, that is, the emperor is on his side.

Yuwen Shu fell to his knees, and the old tears said:

"The minister has His Majesty's kindness, sincere fear, because of the meager merits, often day and night thinking about the report, this time as the marshal of the march, but also the abyss, everywhere careful, the needs of the march, do not dare to have the slightest slack, only expect to destroy the state, in order to solve the king's worries, this time refused to let the handsome, non-ministers greedy for rights, the battle to change the commander, is the taboo of ancient and modern soldiers, the minister does not let it, is for the country for the king, not for their own selfish interests, I hope Your Majesty will be clear."

After all, he was a confidant, and Yang Guang was also moved by Yuwenshu's words of gratitude.

"Aiqing, please get up, discuss state affairs, you don't have to kneel, your heartfelt words, I am very relieved, and I don't want to change the commander."

Well, as soon as Yang Guang spoke, Yu Zhongwen, Zhang Jin, Wei Xuan, and Xue Shixiong also stood up and said that they did not support the change of commander.

They also have their own considerations, Yuwenshu is already arranging preparations for the recruitment of people from all walks of life, and it is really inappropriate to change the commander at the moment, besides, a commander has a way, if Shi Wansui comes, I am afraid that the current deployment will be greatly changed.

And a few of them think that there is no need to change it.

If you can't compete for the handsome position, then compete for the general position, Pei Ju said again:

"The minister thinks that Li Jing, Yang Yichen, and Zhang Dinghe are all vanguard and brave generals, and they need sharp weapons to attack the fortifications, Jing Yuanheng, Xin Shixiong, and Zhao Xiaocai are still inexperienced, and they are not as good as Li, Yang, and Zhang."

These three people led the troops to fight, and it was really not good, because the three of them were the old men of Yang Guangjin's palace, and they did follow Yang Guang south to destroy Chen, but they were only subordinate officials of the Jin Wangfu at that time, and they did not lead the army to fight, so they were indeed inexperienced, but their loyalty was commendable.

Jing Yuanheng is now the general of the Right Reserve Mansion, and he used to be Yang Jun, and after Yang Jun was masturbated, he took over.

Xin Shixiong and Zhao Xiaocai are the two generals of Zuo Xiaowei, among which Xin Shixiong took over the position left by Changsun Sheng, and Changsun Sheng went to pick up Zuo Tunwei left by Shi Wansui at that time, after Changsun Sheng's death, Zuo Tunwei is now Yang Hao.

Pei Ju is also bold, and directly follows the prince's wishes, the person who wants to change the emperor seems to be risky, but in fact it has an advantage, that is, it will make others feel that he is really thinking about the expedition.

Because of these three related households, it is really impossible to fight, there are some things that can be done by sincere loyal ministers, but there are some things that they can't do, because they don't have that ability.

These three people are placed in the army, which is actually the emperor's means of manipulating the forward army, because these three people represent his meaning, and Yuwenshu also has to be careful.

To put it bluntly, this conquest of Goguryeo was Yang Guang's final say, and Yuwen Shu was half a puppet.

Therefore, Yuwenshu also hopes to replace these three people, this is Yang Ming's strength, but Yang Ming didn't expect that Yuwenshu would be Yuwen's defeat.

Pei Ju's words, others don't dare to make a mistake, after all, this is a direct influence on the emperor's employment.

It is also inconvenient for Yang Guang to answer directly, after all, these three people are really not qualified.

If he doesn't come forward, someone will come forward, it's Jing Yuanheng,

"What does Gong Pei mean, my position as the general of the Right Reserve Mansion should be given to one of Li, Yang, and Zhang?"

Pei Ju said with a smile: "The general is too worried, your duty should be to defend Your Majesty, and the matter of using your life on the battlefield is better left to Li Jing and the three of them, defending Your Majesty is more important than anything, and the general is in charge." ”

Cui Hongsheng is very rare, and he also stood up and said:

"Li, Zhang, Yang three, good at attacking, this is known to everyone, Goguryeo has built the Great Wall defense in Liaodong, build a city, to wait for work, my army to the north to discuss, the early stage must be the battle of the fortification, the minister thinks, when Li Jing is appropriate, in Beijing, the minister has discussed with Li Jing the book of war, this person is good at the way of using soldiers, enlightened in Han Baohu, Han Seng Shou, Han Hong brothers, from the Chu Guogong, given time, must be the commander of the talent, this person should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

As soon as he heard the praise of Li Jing, Yang Yue would naturally stand up and cheer for him:

"When the elder brother Yang Su was alive, he pointed to the chair under the seat and said to him: You deserve this position in the end, even Niu Gong, when he first saw Li Jing, didn't he also call him Wang Zuozhicai?"

Niu Hong nodded, looked at Yang Guang and said: "That's true, this person is in the art of war, and he does have the posture of a grandmaster, and this expedition is also an opportunity for training, so I think I might as well let him go." ”

You've all praised this person to heaven, can't I use it? Yang Guang frowned and said:

"Summoning Li Jing to Luoyang, I will personally interrogate him, and as for the other two, let's discuss it again."

Yang Guang is definitely unwilling to replace all three of his own people, but with so many people opposing it, he can't insist on it, after all, everyone's reasons are very good.

Lack of military merit is indeed a hard injury, no matter how decisive he is, he can't work against the ministers in military affairs, after all, everyone's purpose is the same, and they all want to win.

After the court meeting, Yang Guang was a little unhappy, he was wondering, what did the third child want to do? Is there anything I can't write to me that I have to say at the court?

But when he learned from the chamberlain Gao Ye that the prince did have a letter, which was delivered last night, Yang Guang couldn't wait to open the envelope.

The content of the first paragraph of the letter is touting, which means that the defeat of Goguryeo is an immortal achievement, which can add a strong stroke to the hegemony of the father's emperor, and will be praised by future generations for thousands of generations.

Yang Ming felt that since it was to attack and destroy Fanbang, it was not appropriate to set up this position, which was easy to restrain the commander, so that there would be problems with the use of troops in the front, and when the army surrounded Pyongyang in the future, the enemy army would have no strength to fight again, and it would be a suitable time to surrender at that time.

It means that you can pretend to be forced, but it has to be timed.

Then Yang Ming also mentioned: Your Majesty's personal conquest, although it is a perfect situation, but there are many history books, and there are many outnumbered victories, although it is impossible, but in case of defeat, it is difficult for the Great Sui to bear its burden, and the sons implore their father to think twice.

At the end of the letter, Yang Mingzuo asked Li Jing to be the head of the march, leading a total of 40,000 cavalry to break through the vanguard army of Liaodong.

Yang Guang closed the envelope and frowned in thought.

What he was most afraid of was actually defeat, although he felt that the possibility was very small, but Yang Ming's words in the letter deliberately intimidated him, which really worried him for a while.

Of course, that is, for a while, Yang Guang felt afterwards, how could I defeat my million-strong army? I can't defeat even if I want to.

"Being cautious and looking ahead is a strength, but sometimes it can be misguided," Yang Guang muttered to himself.

The son suggested a change of commander and general in the form of a recital, indicating that he was resolute, and suggested that the consolation envoy be canceled in the form of a family letter, which was unwilling to oppose his decision in front of everyone at the court meeting.

After all, the general candidate was chosen by Yuwenshu according to his wishes, but the comfort envoy was completely his own idea.

To surrender or not to surrender? After Yang Guang was silent for a long time, he said to Gao Ye:

"Summoning Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yu Shiji, Qiu He, Guo Yan, Duan Da, Li Hun, Duan Wenzhen, and Wei Xuan into the palace, I have important matters to discuss."

Yang Ming, who was in Hedong, was instantly overjoyed when he learned the news that Li Jing was called to Luoyang.

As long as Li Jing can lead the army smoothly, this battle will be easy to fight.

So he wrote a letter to Li Jing and ordered him to come to Hedong to meet him first when he went to Luoyang, because Yang Ming had some things to explain.

After all, Yang Ming knew how to defeat the first expedition to Goguryeo, but how to win depends on Li Jing.

Dugu Bailou has already come, and when she sees Dugu Feng'er's current appearance, she knows what to do.

She understands sexual affairs, although she has not practiced it, but Yang Yong and Yuan Zhen, Yang Guang and Xiao Hou, Yang Jun and Cui's, Yang Xiu and Changsun's, Yang Liang and Doulu's wedding night, she was responsible for arranging the whole process under the instruction of Dugu Jialuo.

Because Dugu Jialuo wants his daughters-in-law to know how to please their husbands.

It's a pity that two of the five daughters-in-law went wrong.
