Li Shen's words brightened the atmosphere at once, and everyone became enthusiastic, Li Shen was right, they would be promoted after they went back,

Then he was assigned to each region as a general,

Li Shen experienced the graduation season, gathered from Tiannan and Haibei to stay together for four years, and then returned to Tiannan and Haibei.

They have been through the same window together, fought together, went to the Qinglou together, shared the spoils together, and they have all the four major irons in life.

So how can the relationship not be deep, many people who were said by Li Shen were a little sad, and they were more enthusiastic about the partners around them.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but sigh in his eyes when he saw it, this little prince is really powerful, and his means of provoking people's emotions are so clever.

Just a few words to tame the unruly wild horses here, no wonder his son has been screaming and full of energy in everything since he followed King Ji.

"Your Highness, the old minister has something to ask for." Cheng Yanjin said to Li Shen with wine.

"Old general, please speak." Li Shen replied politely.

"Although the generals in front of the battle are not good things, they are loyal to Your Majesty, and they have also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that the prince can show mercy to his subordinates, punish them a little, and spare their lives."

“......”

Cheng Yanjin said very sincerely, but Li Shen was full of black lines.

"Old general, is there any misunderstanding here, how can this king He De have the strength to punish the generals, let alone harm their lives.

The old general is not going to talk nonsense. Li Shen hurriedly explained,

How can this say that he is like a big villain, he is a good person, a simple and kind good boy.

"Alas~~~" Cheng Yanjin sighed when he saw Li Shen's attitude, and the wine in his hand was also drunk.

Li Shen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ran to play with his peers, everyone sang and danced for this bonfire, and Cheng Chuliang howled a few times,

The crowd was lively until midnight, but they didn't drink much, because they had to march tomorrow.

On the second day, when the army was packing their bags, Li Shen also prepared the completion ceremony of the bridge at the bridgehead, and when the army came to the shore of Liaoshui, Cheng Yanjin saw a bridge he had never seen before across Liaoshui.

Li Shen stood at the head of the bridge, where red silk had been pulled up, and there were big red flowers and so on.

"Lu Guogong, this is a bridge built here by this king, the name is not yet there, wait until I go back and let me give the name to Aya, this is our first bridge in Goguryeo,

Today, the army crosses the bridge, and you and I will have a bridge crossing ceremony. ”

Li Shen said to Cheng Yanjin, then took a pair of scissors from the tray next to him and handed it to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin took the scissors, followed Li Shen to the bridge, and then followed Li Shen's example, and cut the red silk with scissors with Li Shen.

There was applause and cheers all around, and the workers of Goguryeo were also very proud to have participated in the construction of a bridge that had never been built before.

Looking at the flat bridge deck and the smooth railings on both sides, Cheng Yanjin walked on the bridge and stomped on it.

"Don't worry, old general, this bridge is too hard to collapse. This king has spent a lot of money. Li Shen said to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin was relieved when he heard this, returned to the team and said to the herald;

"Command, cross the bridge."

With Cheng Yanjin's order, Li Shen also returned to his team, and this time he could leave with his luxury carriage.

The team quickly passed the bridge without any problems, and Cheng Biting Jin was relieved to pass.

Cheng Yanjin rode across the bridge on horseback, and couldn't help but admire Li Shen very much, this bridge can be said to be very practical for Datang, military, and commercial are very important.

It is now the autumn harvest season in the north, and many of the early people have begun to harvest.

Take advantage of the good weather to harvest the ripe crops.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, the old minister finally understands what the Huairou strategy mentioned in the battle report means, you look at these people, seeing that our Tang army is not only not afraid, but smiling,

And this large tract of fertile land, if there is still good land for the people to plant, as before, then even if we conquer this place,

The imperial court also has to come up with a large amount of food to help them, otherwise the people will rebel if they don't have enough to eat, and now not only do they have food, but also the logistics of our army. ”

Looking at the endless fertile fields, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but sigh with emotion,

There are many plains in the north, and Cheng Yanjin rarely sees this kind of farmland in an endless range except for the grassland.

"The old general's words are very good, if we just give Goguryeo a warning, this king thinks that it is harmless to loot, even if it is to kill some more people, it doesn't matter,

But my Tang Dynasty is going to capture Goguryeo this time, the land here, the people here, and everything here will belong to my Tang Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, this king thinks that we should not destroy them, and the amount we destroy, the court will have to spend more to fill them in the future.

Population is a very important strategic material for a country. We can't just let them starve to death. ”

Li Shen began to instill his thoughts in Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin also nodded after hearing it, he felt that Li Tao and them did not understand, but pretended not to understand for the sake of interests.

No wonder His Majesty is so angry, this is a matter of attitude.

As soon as the army walked by, many Goguryeo people looked at this Tang Dynasty's backup army, and they now recognized the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and the Tang Dynasty was helping them, and the endless grain in front of them was the best proof.

In two days, 200,000 troops arrived outside Hengshan City, and the Goguryeo soldiers defending the city stood on the city wall and secretly rejoiced, fortunately they all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The 200,000 in front of him are already invincible, and Datang has sent hundreds of thousands of troops, who else in the world can resist.

The team set up camp at the Liaoshui branch, preparing to rest for half a day to cross the river, which was very close to Li Chengqian.

Half a day, almost to be able to arrive,

At night, Li Shen brought a group of generals to the big tent, including Cheng Yanjin.

"I called you here today because I have something to tell you," Li Shen took the lead in speaking,

Hearing Li Shen so formal, everyone present began to get serious.

I only heard Li Shen continue;

"I think everyone knows that I am the Governor of the Eastern Expedition, and I belong to the post of Overseer, and my main focus is on military law and military regulations. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been adopting our new strategy, named Huairou Strategy,

Huairou's strategy is to treat the Goguryeo people as if they were my Tang people, which may be a little different from your usual battles.

So before we meet, I want to make it clear to you, lest the team you lead make a mistake, and then we will not be able to get over the face.

You must remember what I say next, and then convey it to everyone below, so as not to lose your life and not know it.

”

This is a map of Goguryeo, and if you keep it, you will know where the name of the place I am talking about and where to rest, otherwise it would have been up to your head to figure it out.
