Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1138

Inviting some of the most famous oirans in Chang'an recently is not just a matter of money, but also has enough status.

Although Cheng Chumo and the others are Chang'an's incarnate demon kings, they did not succeed after a long time of grinding, but in the end when they revealed that the person who was going to have a banquet was Su Cheng, they turned around and all the oirans agreed wholeheartedly.

This made them very speechless. The sum of their little princes and princes was not as effective as Su Cheng's name.

They were also a little embarrassed, because the reason why they worked so hard was not only to clean up Su Cheng, but also to thank Su Cheng.

This time the emperor’s personal expedition, all the old men of their family accompanied him on the expedition. To be honest, they were all worried. After all, the old men are all old. Know how much hard work it takes.

Before going out, they all wanted to go out with the old man so that they could take care of them, but the old man flatly refused. If it was possible, they really wanted to go out on behalf of their father.

Unfortunately, they are not qualified enough.

Even the old man didn't want to take them with him, and they all knew what the old man was thinking. The general will inevitably die immediately, and it's hard to say that no one will be able to return smoothly from the expedition.

If they die in battle, there must always be someone at home to support them.

Fortunately, the Eastern Expedition went very smoothly, and it can be said that the momentum was overwhelming, and the Goguryeo army was simply unbearable.

This is completely different from the predictions of the officials in the DPRK and China. After all, the lessons learned from the previous Sui Dynasty are still there. Everyone thinks that the Goguryeo soldiers and horses are very powerful, and it is another expedition.

All the worries of Cheng Chumo and the others dissipated, and the reason why the Eastern Expedition went so smoothly this time was because the cannons of the Shenji Battalion easily blasted through the gates of Goguryeo.

That's why Cheng Chumo thanked Su Cheng from the bottom of his heart.

A group of people rode away from the gate of the mansion, and Cheng Chumo asked: "Do you know that Tubo led troops to attack Tuyuhun while His Majesty was on his own expedition?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "I know, I heard about it when I came back."

Yuchi Baolin said in a deep voice: "I heard that His Majesty was furious when he found out, and now many courtiers are impeaching the crown prince for concealing the military situation!"

"Well, the prince's move is really inappropriate. However, the prince supervised the country for a year without credit or hard work. If you think about it, your majesty just reprimanded him!" Su Cheng laughed.

Li Chongyi shook his head and sighed: "I don't know why the crown prince kept this matter a secret. Isn't this giving someone a handle?"

Su Cheng smiled and said nothing, of course he knew why Li Chengqian wanted to hide this matter, because Li Chengqian was afraid that the emperor would return to the court immediately after Tubo invaded Tuyuhun.

In fact, Li Chengqian was too worried. The emperor's lifelong wish was to destroy Goguryeo. How could he retreat when he was about to succeed?
In the final analysis, Tuyuhun is only a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Shimin played a great role in containing Tubo and Western Turks in the Western Regions, it is not considered the territory of the Tang Dynasty after all.

As long as Tubo did not invade the land of the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to retreat from Goguryeo and waste all previous efforts.

In fact, was Li Shimin really angry when Tubo sent troops to attack Tuyuhun?
Su Cheng felt that Li Shimin might not be angry. After all, although Tuyuhun was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was not considered a territory of the Tang Dynasty after all.

Tuyuhun is a big piece of fat, not only Tubo is greedy, even Li Shimin is also greedy.

However, when Li Shimin sent troops to attack the Eastern Turks to avenge his shame, Tuyuhun also sent troops to join the battle, and Li Shimin was still regarded as the Khan of Heaven, so it was not good to make Tuyuhun's idea again.

Now that Tubo suddenly attacked Tuyuhun, it might be an opportunity for Li Shimin.

Therefore, Su Cheng guessed that what Li Shimin was angry with was not that Tubo sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, but that Li Chengqian concealed the military situation. Although this did not cause any bad consequences, it is a taboo to conceal the military situation after all.

Cheng Chumo said nonchalantly: "Let them quarrel in court, it's none of our business whether His Majesty pursues it or not, Su Cheng, do you think His Majesty will send troops?"

These Dukes of theirs have always kept a distance from the Crown Prince and King Wei, respectful and close, so they just watched the battle between the Crown Prince and King Wei coldly. government.

What Cheng Chumo and the others were concerned about was the emperor's decree to send troops. The last Eastern Expedition was the emperor's personal conquest. Without their juniors, it would be impossible for the emperor to return to the imperial conquest this time, right?

"Your Majesty will definitely send troops. It is impossible to sit back and watch Tubo annex Tuyuhun!" Su Cheng replied with certainty.

Li Shimin was in his prime and ambitious, and had always attached great importance to the Western Regions. Now that he had solved the worry of Goguryeo, how could he sit back and watch Tubo plot Tuyuhun?
Tuyuhun is the checkpoint that prevents Tubo from advancing westward. Once Tubo annexes the Western Regions, it will have a springboard to continue to enter the Western Regions.

Can Li Shimin bear this?

Not to mention that after Tubo annexed Tuyuhun, it would greatly increase its strength and threaten the Central Plains. Tubo's plot to Tuyuhun is tantamount to stealing meat from Li Shimin's mouth!
Not to mention that this Eastern Expedition proved the power of firearms. Even without firearms, Li Shimin would not have been able to sit back and watch Tubo annex Tuyuhun.

Therefore, Su Cheng dared to assert that Li Shimin would definitely send troops.

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and the others were immediately excited when they heard that, the emperor really wanted to send troops!

Will Su Cheng lead the army?

Su Cheng must at least be the deputy chief of the army, right?Even the Marshal is not out of the question!
Now is a good time to hug your thighs!

Cheng Chumo and the others all looked at Su Cheng, with a somewhat "affectionate" look in their eyes.

Su Cheng's goosebumps came up, and he said speechlessly, "Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, you have to fart!"

Cheng Chumo smiled honestly: "Su Cheng, are we brothers?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "We? Not familiar with each other, are we?"

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and the others had black lines on their heads, they almost fell off their horses.

Just for today's dinner, how much effort they put in, even though they borrowed Su Cheng's name, it was their intention.

"Okay, just say what you have!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Chumo grinned and said: "This time the troops are dispatched, and the Shenji Battalion is indispensable. Therefore, this time the troops are dispatched, you will either be the Chief Chief or the Deputy Chief of the March. When ordering the generals, don't forget about us!"

Yuchi Baolin nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, we have long wanted to go to the battlefield to fight!"

Li Chongyi shouted: "It's okay to be a soldier by your side!"

Su Cheng was speechless when he heard this. A group of you little princes and princes are going to be personal soldiers?Do you want to go to the battlefield and go crazy?
