Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1502 Preparation
Cheng Yaojin jumped up excitedly and said with a big laugh, "Boy Su has brought the Shenji Camp, what are we waiting for? Go and greet him!"

Although Cheng Yaojin and the others are very senior, and they are elders, Li Ji is the coach of this expedition. It stands to reason that no matter who comes, there is no need to greet them.

However, their relationship with Su Cheng was unusual, and they were very excited, so the three of them left the hall without hesitation and drove their horses straight out of the city.

Li Ji and the others just walked out of the city gate when they saw a group of cavalry coming straight to the city gate, and the leader was Su Cheng.

The army was still behind, and after Su Cheng arranged the camp, he handed the army over to Xue Wanche, and brought the army straight to the city gate.

"Boy Su, I've been waiting for you!" Li Ji laughed.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to return to your teacher in Xinghai City. I've been waiting, but I didn't expect the news that Tubo was torn apart. I actually had to come to Fucheng City. I knew that I would be with you back then. Come to Fucheng City together."

Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to ask: "Has your Majesty ordered us to attack Tubo?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile: "Of course, otherwise why would I come to Fucheng City with the Shenji Camp? Is it to see the scenery?"

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were completely relieved, and suddenly grinned.

"I wanted to kill Tubo's hometown for a long time!"

"Haha, it's fun to kill again! I hope Lu Dongzan won't let the old man down!"

Su Cheng looked at the two of them and grinned like he was looking at two big fools.

After laughing, Cheng Yaojin looked at Su Cheng again and said, "Boy Su, you should have received the imperial edict long ago. Why didn't you send someone to report it earlier? Do you know how anxious we are waiting?"

Su Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "I immediately set off when I received the imperial decree. I don't need to send someone to report the letter. It's not less than half a day!"

"Why not half a day? Do you know how hard it is to wait an extra day?" Cheng Yaojin said angrily.

Su Cheng laughed when he heard it: "Then you shouldn't blame me, you should be grateful to me!"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head with some doubts and said, "Thank you? Thank you for what?"

Yu Chigong had the same look of doubt.

Li Ji smiled and said: "I made a general calculation just now. From the emergency report to Chang'an, then the imperial decree to Xinghai City, and then the Shenji Camp marched to Fucheng City, without a day's delay."

Cheng Yaojin wondered, "You didn't delay a day?"

Su Cheng smiled and nodded: "Well, after seeing the report, His Majesty made a decree that day."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were stunned when they heard it, and they made an order that day?This is too fast, isn't it?
What about Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Chu Suiliang?
Shouldn't they all fall ill?
It shouldn't be, it can't be so coincidental, all the civil servants in the DPRK and China have fallen ill, right?
Cheng Yaojin wondered: "How could it be so fast? Could it be that the civil officials in the DPRK and China agree to attack Tubo?"

Before he asked Su Cheng to issue a memorial to persuade him, he never thought that His Majesty would issue the decree so quickly. After all, even if His Majesty agreed to send troops to attack Tubo, but the civil ministers in the court objected, His Majesty would not issue the decree so quickly.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Although there are definitely some civil ministers in the court who are against sending troops, there are also ministers who agree to send troops. As long as Your Majesty is determined to send troops to attack Tibet, then naturally there can be no delay, otherwise the civil strife in Tubo is over, isn't it a missed opportunity? "

Li Ji smiled and said, "The question is how can you make your Majesty make up your mind to attack Tubo?"

Cheng Yaojin wondered: "Yes, how did you do it, Su Xiaozi?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's very simple, let's put the facts and make sense. Your Majesty has a chance but won't solve it now. Do you want to leave the hidden danger to future generations?"

Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh and shouted, "Isn't that the case!"

The memorial on them only said what a good opportunity this was, the strategic significance of Tubo, the significance of capturing Tubo, and the grasp of capturing Tubo, but they never thought about this angle.

Thinking that His Majesty has always loved his children, how could he leave this trouble to future generations?
Moreover, what Su Cheng said really makes sense. If you don't take this opportunity to completely solve the trouble of Tubo now, even if you pay ten times the price in the future, you may not be able to solve the scourge of Tubo.

Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, Su Cheng, you are very right in this point. This trouble must be solved completely, and this hidden danger cannot be left to future generations."

Su Cheng said slightly: "The principle is indeed this principle, but His Majesty said that if it is impossible, there is no need to force it."

Although Li Shimin felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Tubo, after all, Tubo was located on a plateau, and no one knew what would happen after the army attacked Tubo. Therefore, although Li Shimin listened to Su Cheng's advice, he did not strictly order the army to To conquer Tibet.

If the war does not go well, Li Shimin can allow them to withdraw their troops and return. Even if Tubo cannot be captured, Tubo will not become a threat within 20 years. He does not want Li Ji, Su Cheng and the [-] soldiers to be buried in Tubo.

Although they are all battle-hardened veterans, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchigong, Li Ji and the others were not without emotion when they heard it. How could the emperor secretly order to withdraw if they could not fight?

Li Ji and the others couldn't help but glance at Su Cheng. The reason they didn't like it was probably because of this kid.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Your Majesty has been thinking too much. Tubo has lost [-] troops, and now we are in a civil war. How can we not defeat Tubo?"

Yuchi Gong also laughed and said, "What I'm saying is, if we can't beat Tubo, then what kind of face do we have to lead troops in the future? Just go home and farm!"

Li Ji also smiled and said: "No matter what the situation of the civil war in Tubo is, in short, the power of Tubo has greatly damaged people's hearts. As long as we fight steadily, it is not difficult to capture Tubo."

In fact, Su Cheng also has great confidence in this point, otherwise he would not have encouraged Li Shimin to decree.

Su Cheng asked: "By the way, have you read the letter I gave you before? How are the preparations?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything has been prepared as you said. Those with old illnesses have been picked out and asked to stay in Fucheng City, and the three armies have been reorganized."

Su Cheng couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's good, I have already obtained the trust of Minzhou for the warm cotton-padded clothes and medicinal materials, and I will directly levy it from Minzhou, and the court will supply Minzhou later."

In Su Cheng's view, the biggest difficulty in attacking Tubo this time was keeping out the cold and altitude sickness.

Fortunately, the soldiers have been trained for a long time and have a strong physique and have adapted to Tuyuhun for a period of time, but Su Cheng still let the soldiers with old diseases stay in Tuyuhun, plus the medicinal materials and cotton-padded clothes, there should be no problem.
