Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 893 Incentives

The envoys of Silla finally arrived in Chang'an, and Su Cheng was relieved that he was not buried in the sea.

This also means that the war is about to begin.

Su Cheng rode his horse straight to Shenji Camp.

The land of Datang still has a strong sense of the New Year, and Shenjiying is no exception.

The faces of the soldiers were all filled with smiles, and they all saluted when they saw Su Cheng.

"Beating drums and gathering generals!"

Drumming drums sounded, and the generals of the Shenji Battalion rushed over from all over the camp.

"The last general will wait to see the Duke!"

Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite! How is everyone doing this year?"

"Thanks to Duke Guo, everyone is living a good life!" All the generals said in unison.

What they said was not false. Since entering the Shenji Camp, everyone's life has become better and better, and life has become more and more exciting.

The smile on Su Cheng's face gradually faded away, and he said in a deep voice: "The New Year's Eve has passed, so everyone's thoughts should be put away, and normal practice will resume from tomorrow. After ten days, I will personally test it!"

Resume normal practice tomorrow?

Inspection in ten days?

This is a drill that requires everyone to work hard!

Why is the Duke so eager to practice?

They couldn't help thinking that last winter, everyone was very nervous, because last winter, everyone thought that Goguryeo was going to invade Liaodong.

Everyone is gearing up to go to Liaodong, but the result is that they have not received the news of Goguryeo's invasion of Liaodong.

Could it be that Goguryeo finally sent troops?

It's just that Goguryeo didn't send troops in the cold winter, but chose to send troops in spring. Was King Goguryeo's head kicked by a donkey?

Xue Rengui asked: "Grandpa, is it because of something that you are in such a hurry to go back to the house for practice?"

Su Cheng nodded and said: "Because, there is going to be a war! We have worked so hard to train soldiers for so long, but we will not be able to fight a war. Instead, we will relax!"

Are you really going to fight?

The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became lively. Since the establishment of Shenji Camp, everyone has been gearing up for a fierce battle.

Waited and waited, but never got the chance.

Is the opportunity finally here now?

Li Yun quickly asked: "Master, is Liaodong going to war?"

Xue Rengui asked: "Duke, is our Shenji Battalion going to march?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, Liaodong is about to go to war, and all of our Shenji Battalion will go out with the army!"

The entire Shenji Battalion will go out with the army?

The dream that I have been thinking about day and night is finally coming true!

"It's finally time to fight!"

"Hey! Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, it's finally here!"

"I didn't expect those bastards in Goguryeo to be so bold that they dared to invade our Tang Dynasty! I don't think they can beat them to death!"

"That's right, that's right, our Tang Dynasty is not the former Sui Dynasty!"

"Before, the civil officials in the court all impeached the Duke, saying that the information of the Duke was wrong. Now let's see how shameless these civil officials are!"

"Yes, yes."

Now that Silla's envoys have arrived in Chang'an, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Goguryeo did not invade Datang, but sent troops to attack Silla. Silla could no longer hold back, and sent envoys to Tang for help!"

It turns out that Goguryeo didn't send troops to invade Datang, and everyone thought Goguryeo was daring.

However, everyone immediately had a question. Since Goguryeo is attacking Silla, it is dog eat dog. Will the emperor send troops to fight?

Li Yun scratched his head and said, "Goguryeo attacked Silla, what's the matter with Tang Dynasty? Will His Majesty send troops to attack Goguryeo?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, with the same question on their faces. Silla is too far away from Datang, and Silla and Baekje are separated in the middle.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard that, Li Shimin was waiting for such an opportunity in his dreams, not to mention sending troops to go to Goguryeo, Li Shimin was still energized to go to the imperial conquest himself!

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Silla is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty. Now that Silla comes to ask for help, in my opinion, His Majesty will definitely not stand idly by."

Although Silla was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was only in name after all. Would the emperor really send troops to conquer Goguryeo because of this?

If someone else said that, everyone would doubt it, but since the Duke said that, it should be right.

After all, the Duke's family is not given for nothing, and of course he can guess the emperor's intentions better.

"In fact, Goguryeo has always been ambitious. To unify the three kingdoms, conquering Silla is the first step, and conquering Baekje is the second step. Once the three kingdoms are unified, their strength should not be underestimated. It is definitely a great deal for our Tang Dynasty. Threat!" Su Cheng explained with a smile.

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Your Majesty is so talented, he will definitely resolve the threat in advance, and will never leave the threat to future generations!"

When everyone heard that what the Duke said was too reasonable, they became even more excited. Although there were legends that the three campaigns against Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty all failed miserably, Xue Rengui and other generals were all full of confidence.

They are full of confidence in His Majesty today. How can His Majesty be as talented as a god in using soldiers like a god, how can Emperor Sui Yang compare to him?

They are also full of confidence in the Duke, the Duke's strict drills, and the powerful power of muskets and artillery, the Shenji Battalion will definitely shine on the battlefield and kill the Quartet!

Finally have the opportunity to make contributions!

I just don't know who the chief commander of the march will be this time.

Is it Li Jing, the Duke of Wei?

Or Ying Guogong Li Ji?

Or Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County?

As long as it wasn't Hou Junji who was the Chief Marching Officer, no matter who was the Chief Marching Officer, there would be absolutely no one to restrain them from the Shenji Battalion's expedition this time.

Xue Rengui asked with concern: "Our Shenji Battalion goes out with the army, so the Duke will also go out?"

Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course!"

As the Duke of the state, if he goes on an expedition, he should be the deputy chief of the army.

Moreover, if the duke of the state goes to war, then how can the chief executive be Hou Junji, right?

Although Hou Junji was higher than Duke Guo in terms of seniority, but in terms of holy family members, Hou Junji was no match for Duke Guo, and there were too many candidates for the chief executive of the court.

How could it be impossible for Duke Guo to let Hou Junji be the general manager of the marching army!

If someone else was the deputy commander of the march, of course he would not have the ability to decide the candidate for the chief commander of the march, but the Duke of the State had such a great ability as the deputy commander of the march.

All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion went out with the army, and the Duke personally led the army. There is no better result than this!

Everyone was very excited, gearing up, wishing they could go out to fight Goguryeo immediately.

Su Cheng raised his hand and said solemnly: "Therefore, we must not slack off in military training. We must adjust our mentality before going out to fight, and use the strongest combat power of our Shenji Battalion. Your Majesty will not treat our Shenji Battalion this time. High hopes!"
