Chapter 110 Li Jing is the Grand Marshal
After Li Shimin spoke, Li Jing came back to his senses.

He was a little hesitant because Li Shimin asked him to go out with the army, because to be honest, Li Chengdao had a very good impression on him. He really didn't want to fight with such a great hero who had destroyed the Turks on the battlefield.

However, when Li Shimin asked him, he naturally couldn't say no, so he raised his hands and said, "No... I am willing to be sent by His Highness."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously: "Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Hou Junji obey orders!"

"The end is here!"

The three of them knelt down and answered in unison.

"This king has appointed Li Jing as the Grand Marshal in charge of the army, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji as the vanguard generals, and led 20 troops to stop the enemy north of the Yellow River!"

Li Shimin said solemnly, he has been preparing for this period of time, and now has mobilized 30 troops.

This time he was facing Li Chengdao, and even Li Shimin had to be cautious. After all, Li Chengdao himself was extremely brave, and he also destroyed the Turks, which can be said to be a shining achievement in battle.

Therefore, he directly sent Li Jing, the top coach, and his two confidants Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji to face Li Chengdao.

With the three of them and 20 elite troops, Li Shimin was confident that Li Chengdao could not even cross the Yellow River.

"The last general takes orders!"

Li Jing sighed in his heart and accepted the order issued by Li Shimin.

After the three people left, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Auxiliary machine, do you think who will persist to the end when this king and that prince are competing for the throne?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Highness holds military and political power, and there are many fierce generals under his command. Victory will definitely belong to His Highness."

"Then why after the news came that Li Chengdao led his troops to attack Chang'an, all the officials in the court claimed to be sick and refused to go to court!"

Li Shimin said angrily.

When all the officials in the court learned that Li Chengdao was going to attack Chang'an, they all said they were sick and refused to go to court. There was no need to think about why they were doing this, because they were afraid that he would force them to take sides in the court.

What really annoyed him was why these officials refused to stand up and support him. Did he really think that he couldn't defeat Li Chengdao with the power he had now?
Simply ridiculous!
"When the pharmacist is defeated and Li Chengdao is defeated, those damn officials and the common people in the world will know who is most qualified to ascend to the big position!"

Li Shimin murmured to himself, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

……

Li Shimin's scolding of the scholars in front of Tiance Mansion spread quickly in one day. Countless scholars and even officials were shocked by this.

No one expected that Li Shimin would directly admit the act of killing his brother, and also explicitly stated that he wanted to compete for the throne.

But if you think about it carefully, Li Shimin's move is the most correct response at the moment.

Except for the last one of the crimes listed in Li Chengdao's submission, it doesn't matter if he admits the above two. Although it is a bit bloody and cruel, in the end it is just a battle for the throne, and it cannot really conquer Li Shimin.

Instead, Li Shimin could use this to directly express his willingness to fight for the throne to the world, and also hint that some people would take sides when they should.

Moreover, Li Shimin's tough statement was also proof of his confidence, which reminded many people that the King of Qin, who was overshadowed by Li Chengdao, was also a tough leader with countless brilliant military exploits!

Could such a King of Qin, who single-handedly laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, really be no match for his grandson Li Chengdao?Many people's hearts were shaken by this.

Within two days of this incident, the imperial court announced that Li Chengdao was a traitor, and at the same time sent 20 troops, led by Li Jing, and two fierce generals, Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, to suppress him!
With such a quick response, Li Shimin perfectly demonstrated the powerful power he possesses.

Therefore, after the second day, many officials rushed directly to court and no longer complained of illness.

There was also much less criticism and criticism of Li Shimin between the government and the public, because everyone understood that now was the battle for the throne between Li Chengdao and Li Shimin.

……

Wei House.

"Let Li Jing lead the army to the expedition?"

After Wei Zheng heard the court's arrangements, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

To be honest, he felt that Li Chengdao's move of troops was a bit too hasty. How could a mere [-] troops attack Chang'an?
We should continue to develop slowly in Youzhou.

However, he also understood that Li Chengdao could not continue to delay and repeatedly refused the imperial edict, which was already a taboo. Li Shimin would definitely send troops to suppress it when he was ready. In this case, it would be better to strike preemptively.

However, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Hou Junji led an army of 20 to the expedition. He felt that Li Chengdao's chances of winning were really slim.

"At this point, I can only try my best to help a bunch of Your Highnesses."

Wei Zheng sighed slightly in his heart, got up and went back to his study to quickly write a letter, and then asked his confidants to take the letter out of the city and deliver it to Li Chengdao.

Three days later, Li Shimin's response was learned by Li Chengdao.

"This King of Qin is indeed not an ordinary person, and he is no less courageous than His Highness."

After reading the information, Jia Xu couldn't help but praise it.

Li Shimin easily resolved the pressure brought to him by paying the documents and locked the war into the battle for the throne. In this way, the two sides had nothing to argue about in terms of justice and could just fight directly.

Winner and loser, it's that simple.

"I have never underestimated him. He is a strong enemy."

Li Chengdao nodded and acknowledged Jia Xu's words.

Even though Li Shimin has been tortured by various methods on his side for a long time, it would be extremely terrifying for Li Shimin to let go of his hands and feet to deal with him once the pressure from the fishing boat is gone.

Not to mention anything else, the 50 troops Li Shimin can mobilize is a gap that is difficult to make up.

They suddenly raised troops this time, and they didn't know how many troops Li Shimin had mobilized in advance.

"This battle cannot be dragged on for a long time and must be resolved quickly."

Li Chengdao thought to himself, then looked up at Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He, this time Li Shimin asked Li Jing to lead an army of 20 to fight against the enemy. What do you think?"

The news that Li Shimin asked Li Jing to lead troops to suppress him had already spread, and Li Chengdao came to Jia Xu to discuss the matter today.
