Chapter 238

Li Er thought over and over again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Chengqian's words, so he agreed that what Li Chengqian said was reasonable.

"What the prince said! It is very true. According to what the prince said, some teachers were sent into Goguryeo, mainly to harass Goguryeo."

"If the enemy advances, we will retreat, if the enemy retreats, we will chase, if the enemy is stationed, we will harass, if the enemy is tired, we will fight. This sixteen-character mantra, every word is a pearl, to disturb Goguryeo. Our Tang Dynasty will destroy Goguryeo just around the corner."

"My loves! I don't know what you think about this matter? Or what do you think about the crown prince's remonstrance!" Li Er asked.

"The prince's words! I have no objection!" Changsun Wuji was the first to express his opinion.

"Successor!" Jin Wang Li Zhi, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Yang Shidao, Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng Yaojin followed closely behind and stood up to express their opinions.

"Seniors and others!" The remaining ministers saw that none of the big shots objected, so they all stood up and agreed, and they all echoed.

Even if some people have other thoughts in their minds at this time, they dare not say it at this time, and everyone agrees with them tactfully.

Li Er was very happy. The more outstanding Li Chengqian performed, the more Li Er felt radiant on his face, and he was more satisfied with the prince in his heart.

"There is a plan! But who is the right one? It needs to be discussed again!" Changsun Wuji said, the selection of generals is very important.

"Is there any suitable candidate for the auxiliary machine? If you have any suitable candidate in your mind, you may as well say it and let me have a look." Li Er said.

"The minister thinks that Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Guo State, and Zhang Shigui, the leader of the left army, is suitable, so I recommend Zhang Shigui, the Duke of the Guo State." Changsun Wuji recommended Zhang Shigui.

Zhang Shigui was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, and he was trusted by Li Er. He was not a despicable and shameless villain who was jealous of the virtuous and capable, persecuted the loyal, and even conspired against him, as described in the novels of later generations.

Zhang Shigui was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Shigui trusted Li Er even more.

After Li Er ascended the throne as emperor, Zhang Shigui was ordered to be the "Head of the Xuanwu Gate" in order to prevent another occurrence of the Xuanwu Gate Change.

Soon after, Li Er asked Zhang Shigui to be the general of the Zuo Tunwei, and he also appointed the Northern Army to serve as him, which is equivalent to the position of the commander of the Imperial Guard.

This is enough to show Li Er's trust and regard for Zhang Shigui.

"Father! My son thinks it's wrong!" Li Chengqian came out and saluted.

"Prince! Guo Guo Gong Zhang Shigui is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty many times. He even went to Goguryeo with His Majesty on an expedition. It is most appropriate for him to lead a partial army to harass Goguryeo this time." Changsun Wuji said.

It is not unreasonable for Changsun Wuji to say this. After all, Zhang Shigui fought Goguryeo with Li Er, and he knows the terrain there very well.

Let Zhang Shigui lead a partial expedition to Goguryeo, Li Er was unwilling in his heart. After all, Li Er knew the importance of guarding Xuanwu Gate better than anyone else. Only Zhang Shigui could guard Xuanwu Gate, so Li Er could sleep peacefully.

"Guo Guo Gong Zhang Shigui is now very old, and my ministers are worried that it will be difficult for him to travel back and forth. What's more, guarding the Xuanwu Gate is very important, and someone who is not trusted by His Majesty is not enough to take on this important task."

"Guarding the Xuanwu Gate and commanding the Forbidden Army of the Northern Yamen, who else can take on this important task except Guo Guo Gong Zhang Shigui."

"Furthermore, the general who accompanied His Majesty on the expedition to Goguryeo was not the Duke of Guo, so why should the Duke of Guo go back and forth?" Li Chengqian said.

Apart from worrying that Zhang Shigui was getting old, and that one of them might die on the way, Li Chengqian actually planned to send his generals from the East Palace to do this.

On the one hand, they can experience them, and on the other hand, they can establish prestige in the army, which is beneficial for Li Chengqian to control Datang's army in the future.

The prince is hiding his selfishness this time, and he only wants to give his own people the opportunity to practice and gain benefits.

Changsun Wuji was speechless for a moment when Li Chengqian said this, but no matter what he said, he was right.

There is really no one more suitable to guard the Xuanwu Gate than Zhang Shigui, the leader of the Forbidden Army.

"What the prince said is very true. There are many generals who have gone on an expedition to Goguryeo, and Zhang Shigui is not the only one!"

"Even if I didn't follow me on the expedition to Liaodong, I'm afraid that no general can be competent in the great Tang Dynasty, which is full of talents." Li Er said.

Now Li Er already had candidates in his mind, and he felt that these people were quite suitable, Zuo Wuwei General Niu Jinda, and the current prince Zhan Shi, Te Jin, and Li Ji, the third rank of Tongzhong Shumen.

Li Er planned to let the two of them be the commander-in-chief, and each lead a partial division to go deep into Goguryeo to harass Goguryeo, so that Goguryeo would not be peaceful.

The two of them followed themselves on an expedition to Goguryeo, and they were very familiar with Goguryeo's geography, mountains, rivers and so on.

It is most suitable to let the two of them go!No one is more suitable than these two guys.

"Niu Jinda, Li Ji!" Li Er ordered their generals directly.

Niu Jinda and Li Ji understood that the emperor wanted them to harass Goguryeo, so they immediately stood up.

"The minister is here!" The two said in unison.

"I ordered Niu Jinda, General Zuowuwei, to be the general manager of the Qingqiu Road march, and General Zuowuhou Li Haijun to be the deputy, and sent more than [-] troops to cross the sea from Laizhou to Goguryeo by building boats." Li Er said.

"Chen Niu Jinda leads the order!" Niu Jinda said.

"Order Prince Zhan Shi Li Ji to be the general manager of the Liaodong Road march, Sun Erlang, the general of Youwuwei, etc., to lead [-] troops, and join the soldiers from the Governor's Mansion of Yingzhou to enter Koryo from Xincheng Road." Li Er went down again. issued an edict.

"I obey the order!" Li Ji hurriedly saluted.

The main and deputy generals of the two groups have been selected, so Li Er is relieved. With the two of them around, Li Er can sit back and relax.

These two groups of soldiers and horses are all selected soldiers who are good at water warfare.

Li Chengqian also took the opportunity to recommend Xue Rengui to Li Er. This time Li Chengqian asked Xue Rengui to go to the Korean Peninsula, but he actually had another purpose.

Li Er also asked people to draft an edict, ordering Silla and Baekje to cooperate with Niu Jinda, Li Ji and others to harass Goguryeo.

Silla and Baekje are feuds with Goguryeo, so they naturally hope to use the power of Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo.

In this way, Silla and Baekje would have the opportunity to annex Goguryeo's territory.

From the situation of three-legged confrontation to the situation of dividing the world equally.

"Is there anything else you want to play?" Li Er asked politely.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Wang Yuan stepped forward and shouted a classic line: "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

"Tang Chao!" After waiting for a while, if no one came forward, he could announce the end of the meeting!
"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The ministers hurriedly bowed to the ground and shouted loudly.

Amid the sound of respectful send-offs from the ministers, Li Er got up and left the Tai Chi Hall, and the morning court officially ended.

After the emperor left, these talents could get up, walk out of the Tai Chi Hall, and return to their respective offices to work.

A month later, Niu Jinda, Li Ji and others, who were well prepared, advanced to the hinterland of Goguryeo according to the established route.
