Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 862

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said: "Su Cheng is right. The marching and fighting is not about the more troops the better. I think it's about the same if we dispatch 10,000+ troops!"

Empress Changsun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and pursed her lips and said, "At the beginning, the former Sui Dynasty dispatched millions of troops..."

Although she had great confidence in the ability of the emperor to lead the army, the difference between an army of 10,000+ and an army of one million was too far, so she was still a little confused.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I am not Yang Guang. I lead the army myself. Why do I need a million troops? With 10,000+ troops, I will definitely be able to defeat Goguryeo!"

Li Shimin is indeed very confident, because now that the Tang Dynasty is powerful, there are artillery, a siege weapon, and cotton, which keeps him warm, so he can relieve his worries.

The most important thing is that he is also very confident in himself, he is not as ambitious as Yang Guang.

Therefore, just a big victory can't satisfy Li Shimin's appetite. What he wants is a battle to destroy the country!

Empress Changsun asked: "Does Your Majesty want to personally conquest?"

Li Shimin nodded his head as a matter of course and said: "Of course! Conquering Liaodong is a major event. If you don't personally conquer Liaodong, I can't rest assured!"

If he just wanted a big victory, then he didn't need to go on a personal expedition. He could win a big victory by choosing any general from the court to march eastward.

Even if you send Su Cheng to lead the army, you can win a big victory!

Li Shimin said with a relieved smile: "Don't worry, Su Cheng has full confidence, and I also have full confidence. Even if Su Cheng is sent to lead the army, they can win the battle, let alone my own conquest?"

"Besides, I'm now the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and I won't go to battle in person! Don't worry!"

When Li Shimin said this, he was quite regretful. Now that he is the Ninth Five-Year Master, it is impossible for him to go to battle in person. If he insists on going to battle in person, it is estimated that the courtiers will kneel before the horse and cannot get up.

However, at the thought of being able to lead the army again, Li Shimin was still a little excited, and those glorious years seemed to appear before his eyes again.

Hearing that the emperor said that he would not go to battle in person, Empress Changsun was completely relieved. What she was most afraid of was that the emperor would have to go to battle in person.

However, Queen Changsun was also a little speechless. What does it mean that Su Cheng can lead the army and win the battle?

Su Cheng is obviously very powerful, right?

At this moment, Empress Changsun's heart has completely settled down, and Su Cheng also feels that Dongzheng is [-]% sure, and His Majesty promises not to go to battle in person.

When Su Cheng walked out of the palace, he was still in a good mood.Cheng Yaojin, who was walking towards him, looked at Su Cheng with a surprised face: "Hey, why did you come into the palace in this snowy day?"

If he wasn't on duty today, he would have found a place to drink, so he wouldn't have come out for a stroll.

Su Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw Cheng Yaojin, and he needed a big mouth to spread the news about the changes in Goguryeo.

And Cheng Yaojin is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Cheng Yaojin's big mouth is famous in the court.

"Oh, Uncle Cheng, what a coincidence!" Su Cheng arched his hands and smiled.

"What a coincidence? The old man is on duty today!" Cheng Yaojin said unhappily. At this moment, Yu Chigong and the others guessed that the wine was in full swing.

"Why did you come into the palace facing the heavy snow?" Cheng Yaojin asked doubtfully, Su Cheng is not a diligent person.

Su Cheng deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, there's something wrong!"

"What's the matter? What happened to you?" Cheng Yaojin immediately raised his head and asked with concern.

He wasn't surprised by Cheng Yaojin's questioning, after all, Cheng Laoyao had a big mouth that gave his life away.

But Su Cheng always felt that the expression on Cheng Yaojin's face was a little gloating.

"Didn't I have a caravan go to Goguryeo?" Su Cheng explained.

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly, and asked: "This old man also knows, why, he was bullied by the people of Goguryeo? Next time the envoys of Goguryeo come, blow their heads off!"

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "It's not that they were bullied, but the people in the caravan noticed something wrong with Goguryeo. They were dispatching troops, so the people in the caravan galloped back to report the news despite the severe cold!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help exclaiming after hearing this: "What? Goguryeo is mobilizing troops? Have they eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?"

Su Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "He has withstood three attacks from an army of millions, and it's normal for him to have confidence!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted dissatisfied: "Can it be the same? Emperor Sui Yang's ambition and lack of talent made the three Eastern Expeditions fail!"

"Our Great Tang has destroyed the Eastern Turks, and it has shocked the Western Regions. How dare he, Goguryeo, take the initiative to provoke?"

"Su Cheng, you can't make a mistake, can you?"

"I went to the palace and told His Majesty, do you think there will be a mistake?" Su Cheng laughed.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but nodded. If Su Cheng was very sure, he would not be able to enter the palace to report to the emperor.

Of course it was very unpleasant to be underestimated by Goguryeo, but Wei Mao felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but licked his lips, and grinned loudly.

There is going to be a war!

Exciting just thinking about it!

As a general, is it not a kind of sadness to be drunk every day?

Cheng Yaojin excitedly said: "I didn't expect Goguryeo to have such courage. It seems that the old man has been idle in Chang'an for too long, and the bastards of Goguryeo have forgotten the old man's reputation!"

Su Cheng listened with black lines on his face, the Goguryeo people know your reputation!You have never fought Goguryeo!

I have to say that Cheng Laoyao is really narcissistic!

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder, excitedly said: "Goguryeo dares to take the initiative to provoke, is it tolerable or unbearable!"

"Gao Jianwu must be remembered, Su Cheng, who else can you tell me about this?"

Su Cheng smiled and nodded.

Cheng Yaojin coughed dryly: "Su Cheng, how did the old man treat you?"

Su Cheng couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard it, he didn't know what Cheng Yaojin meant, didn't he just want to go to war?

This is all playing the emotional card!

Su Cheng couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Does uncle want to go to war?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly and said, "You still understand me! I've been idle in Chang'an, and my idle time is almost rusting!"

"Although Liaodong is farther away and colder, it's good to be able to exercise your legs and feet!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, take care of me!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being overjoyed after hearing this: "Really?"

If it is to lead the army, there are too many candidates in the court!

Li Jing, Li Ji, Yu Chigong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche...

So Cheng Yaojin didn't have the confidence to lead the army, but with Su Cheng's help, he would have great hope.

Because it is difficult to guess the candidate for the chief of the march, but it is easy to guess the candidate for the deputy chief of the march.

It must be Su Cheng!

If you want to fight Goguryeo, you must use firearms. Who else can be the deputy general manager?
