As soon as these words came out, Li Jing couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart.

Although Xu Fenglei said that the possibility of him being in charge now is very small, he still wants to try!

What if you get selected?

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Tuyuhun!"

Li Jing raised his feet and bowed towards Li Shimin.

When he bowed, all the generals couldn't sit still!

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to go to Tuyuhun!"

"Your Majesty, the last general has been practicing hard skills all these years, and he is familiar with the art of war, and I just ask Your Majesty to give your ministers a chance!"

“……”

Suddenly, the generals all shouted.

Except for Li Ji, who has always been calm, the other famous generals in the court are all eager to try!

In an instant, Li Jing felt the pressure.

"Your Majesty, how many years have we not been at war? Give us a chance! ”

Wei Chigong couldn't help but complain,

"The muscles and bones of this body, if you don't move anymore, I'm afraid it's really going to rust!"

Cheng Yanjin on the side also echoed:

"That's it! Your Majesty, now that you have this opportunity, please take a look at us veterans! ”

They usually don't talk much in the court, and their sense of presence is not high.

Right now, it's basically a state of lying on the merit book and eating and drinking and waiting for death.

But as soon as they heard that there was a fight, they were all in good spirits!

If you want to talk about Wenzhi, they are blind in both eyes, they can't interject, and they are easy to make jokes when they talk too much.

But if it's a war, they're all connoisseurs!

If you don't fight now, when will you wait?

"A few old generals, kill chickens with knives? A small country like Tuyuhun can be leveled if it goes down. ”

Duan Zhixuan, who was in the middle of the team, said with a smile,

"You have also worked hard, and now that you have this opportunity, it is better to let us younger generations, so that we also have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

Here, Duan Zhixuan deliberately lowered his posture.

In terms of age, he may be a few years younger than Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, but his qualifications are not below a few people!

They were all the generals of Tiance Mansion back then!

Moreover, before the Xuanwumen Incident, the prince had also wooed him, but he firmly refused, and instead told Li Shimin about it.

He has this loyalty, and he is naturally deeply trusted by Li Shimin! Now the official worships General Zuo Xiaowei, which can be regarded as a high authority, but in terms of military exploits, it is almost meaningful.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Why did you let it? ”

"Can't you let us old people? Really, we don't have a few years to live, and you still have to fight with us, really...... I don't know about the elders at all! ”

"That's it, you go cool!"

“……”

The spittle of several veterans flew up, almost collapsing into Duan Zhixuan's face.

In this regard, Duan Zhixuan was also a little helpless, wiped his face, and retreated in disdain.

Where did he fight these old rascals? Let's stay out of the edge for the time being......

"Your Majesty! Let me be in charge! I'm willing to make a military order! If I don't come back victorious, you will punish me!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't ask to be in charge, so you can give a chance so that the ministers can go out with them, okay?"

"Your Majesty......"

shouted one by one, and Li Shimin's brain buzzed.

In fact, he has almost drawn up a candidate for the command in his heart.

Certainly not these old guys!

First, they have made great achievements in war and are extremely powerful ministers...... If they go out on the expedition again, it will be unsealable.

First, he also thinks that a small country like Tuyuhun is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the neighbors on the left and right have to raise teachers to ask for guilt, is beating it the same as beating a dog?

So, there's no need to bring out heavyweights!

But now that it's making such a fuss, if I don't give an explanation to these old guys, they will definitely not let go!

Headache......

Li Shimin stroked his forehead, glanced at Xu Fenglei who was there with the old god below, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

I'm worried here, but this kid looks like he doesn't care about himself!

Just look at it and get angry!

"Xu Aiqing, I see that you are calm, I must have thought about it in my heart."

Li Shimin suddenly said,

"Can you recommend a general for me to take command of the expedition?"

"I'd love to hear from you."

Whew!

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the generals fell on Xu Fenglei!

"Taishi, we have been friends for many years! Pick me, choose me, give me a chance! ”

"Master! Help, help, help...... Brother, I really don't have a few battles to fight......"

"Taishi ......"

Suddenly, these old people all pleaded, and there was endless anticipation in their eyes.

It seems that as long as Xu Fenglei opens his mouth to mention himself, he will be in charge!

Even Li Jing was nervous at the moment, and looked at Xu Fenglei with some nervousness......

Taishi he...... You're going to help, right?!

Xu Fenglei: "......"

This is damn.

Suddenly ask yourself what a dry hair!

As long as you recommend one of them, you will inevitably offend a large group of others!

At that time, everyone will not complain about the emperor, but only complain that the Taishi did not recommend himself!

Damn! Pit people!

As soon as he raised his eyes and saw Li Shimin's smiling gaze, he had a hundred MMPs in his heart that he wanted to say!

"Minister...... The minister thinks that anyone can do it. ”

Xu Fenglei replied,

"A country like Tuyuhun is just a plate of scattered sand, and the Murong clan itself doesn't have too strong dominating power."

"As long as the Tang Dynasty soldiers arrive, it will inevitably be overwhelming!"

"My Datang will gather stars, choose any one, and you can destroy it!"

He didn't exaggerate that too much.

All of you here.

Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing, Li Ji......

Which is not a heavyweight?

This vote person, any one of them can give Tuyuhun a good job.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

Li Shimin listened very carefully, and said,

"You're right, so pick one of them!"

"I believe in your vision!"

Whew!

Stars began to appear in the eyes of all the generals!

Now, the mouth of the master is the mouth of iron, who he says, that is who!

Choose me, choose me, Master please choose me!

Li Jing and others shouted silently in their hearts.

Xu Fenglei: "@#¥%......&@#!! ”

Something, huh?

Okay, okay, you forced me.

"Ahem! I think it's better to let me take charge myself! ”

He coughed dryly, raised his head to meet Li Shimin's gaze, and said,

"Your Majesty may have forgotten that I can also fight!"

"I've wiped out all the Turks! It's not a problem to just tuyuhun! ”

"Your Majesty let me go, I will definitely arrest that Murong Fuyun and dance for you!"

Generals: "......"

"Taishi, you're too boring!"

"That's it! You have so much credit, and you still want to rob this mosquito meat! Despise! ”

"That's right! Master, you are too greedy! ”

“……”

Their eyes were all a little resentful.

Xu Fenglei snorted coldly and said proudly:

"What are you doing? Do you dislike yourself for taking a lot of credit and taking a lot of credit? ”

"Since Your Majesty asked me to choose, then I must choose myself! Either let Your Majesty choose for himself, or I will choose myself out of ten! Who doesn't want the exploits of white picking? ”

These words also made the generals speechless.

That's right......

Who would think they have more credit?

Only Li Jing was a little helpless in his heart.

He knew that Xu Fenglei definitely didn't want to be in command, and made it clear that he didn't want to endure this hardship.

I say this just to avoid a choice.

After all, he still didn't name himself...... But that's all too normal.

Naming his name will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other generals.

In addition, the emperor may also be suspicious-

When did you two get in such a good relationship?

Therefore, it seems to be a self-recommendation, but in fact, it avoids the multiple-choice questions, and at the same time, everyone has no complaints.

People choose themselves, what do you have to say?

"Hehe......"

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and smiled,

"Just now Duan Aiqing said that he used a knife to kill chickens, but I think he said it well."

"With your ability, it's really a waste to fight a small Tuyuhun, you better stay by my side and give me advice."

Xu Fenglei spread his hands.

Of course, he knew that Li Shimin would say this, and quickly said:

"The minister has no choice, His Majesty lets the minister choose, and the minister will only choose himself."

"So, it's better for Your Majesty to choose for yourself."

Li Shimin laughed.

He knew that he couldn't beat this kid.

After such a stir-up, the old guys stopped making a fuss, and he took the opportunity to say:

"Okay, well, since you don't want to choose, then I'll choose!"

"Duan Aiqing's words just now, I think it makes sense, the Tang Dynasty will now gather stars, and I won't worry about the generals in the war, but what I'm thinking about is the future-"

"In a dozen years, decades, hundreds of years...... When the imperial court needs to use soldiers, can so many people pop up at once? ”

He paused for a moment, and said solemnly:

"So, what I'm thinking about now is the general...... Can't be disconnected! ”

"This requires young generals, and give young generals the opportunity to prove themselves! Only in this way will Datang always have famous generals available! ”

"Aiqing, you are all people who have proven your strength, I am extremely relieved of you! If I send you, I don't even have to look at it, it will be a victory! ”

"So, I can't send you there, I'm going to leave the opportunity to those who are almost there, but I still have a chance to prove my talents-"

"Duan Zhixuan!"

When Duan Zhixuan heard His Majesty shouting his name, he was shocked all over his body, and he came out of the ranks!

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

Li Shimin looked at him and said in a deep voice:

"I thought that Aiqing was a general, but he was up to the task!"

"I have decided to order you to be the chief of the Xikaidao march and lead the army to conquer Tuyuhun! Would you like to? ”

Duan Zhixuan: "!! ”

He didn't expect that such a good thing would fall on his head at all!

Is this true?!

This is too dreamy, isn't it?

At this moment, he felt that countless eyes were converging on him!

"Damn, why is this kid!"

"Hey...... Your Majesty should have thought about it a long time ago, right? Also, we old guys win the battle, and it's useless to Datang......"

"Then we've been fighting here for a long time? All of them look like monkeys! ”

“……”

The generals were all dissatisfied, but they were helpless.

The Emperor's words have already blocked their mouths.

The Tang Dynasty will be inherited for hundreds of years, and they will live for another twenty or thirty years at most.

If you rely on them too much, one day they will die, and who will they use to fight?

Therefore, the emperor must train young people, and young generals are the pillars of the future of the Tang Dynasty!

Duan Zhixuan, this kid, is more than ten years younger than them.

Just these teens are an advantage!

"Minister...... Wish! ”

Duan Zhixuan's heart was excited, he didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation, he bowed his head,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

"The minister will be effective, and he will not turn around if he does not break the Tugu Hun vow!"

Li Shimin nodded and laughed.

"Okay, well, Aiqing has this heart, I am relieved."

With a little expectation in his eyes, he said,

"I also look forward to you, fight a beautiful victory, and raise the prestige of our country!"

"Yes!" Duan Zhixuan's eyes were blazing, and he responded sonorously.

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for him to return to the queue.

And at the same time, he also began to reassure the veterans:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be depressed."

"This time, it's to give Duan Zhixuan a chance to rush first."

"If the water in Tuyuhun is deep, then I still have to use you veterans to go up to it, so you still have a chance."

When Li Jing heard this, his heart moved.

Your Majesty's words are combined with the hexagram calculated by the Grand Master......

Could it be that Duan Zhixuan is in charge this time, and he is going to lose?

If he loses, then his chance will come!

Because the Tang Army is invincible in the eyes of the surrounding countries, and it is full of heavenly might!

The Emperor must have thought so.

If he loses the first battle, the emperor will be in a hurry, and he will definitely be in a hurry to ensure victory! Otherwise, Datang's prestige will inevitably be greatly reduced!

At that time, the people who can win the battle in the DPRK and China will be himself, Taishi, and Li Ji.

Then he obviously has a better chance of winning than Li Ji!

The Taishi also made it clear that he would not fight, and he would be his own nobleman and help himself!

In that case......

Li Jing glanced at Duan Zhixuan, who was excited, and was also a little excited in his heart.

Although he was a little lacking in virtue in this way, he was actually looking forward to Duan Zhixuan's defeat at the moment......

Duan Zhixuan didn't expect Li Jing to have such a rich inner activity, and when he saw Wei Gong, who had always respected him in his heart, looked over, his expression was also quite respectful, and he arched his hand slightly.

Li Jing: "......"

He closed his gaze and looked sneered.

Forget it, I'm still hoping for him to order it, the boy is honest......

"What Your Majesty said is very true."

Xu Fenglei responded,

"Although Tuyuhun is a country, it is actually just a large tribe in bulk, and they have no fixed place to live and are nomadic everywhere."

"The grassland tribe is relatively easy to win and break it."

"But it is a little difficult to destroy it, especially to grasp its leader, it is often necessary to improvise and continuously predict its movements in order to block it."

"When the time comes, it will depend on General Duan's inspiration, if he just advances all the way, even if he hits their royal city and burns it with a fire, it will not hurt its roots, and as soon as the Tang army retreats, they will inevitably make a comeback."

"Fighting with these barbarians, sometimes it seems to be a success, but in fact, they are sneaking away, you can't tell."
