Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 426
After a period of preparation, Datang began to crusade against Goguryeo. This time against Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty decided to completely eliminate Goguryeo, so that it would not have any chance to breathe.

The Tang court increased the number of troops to Liu Rengui, who stayed behind in Baekje, to [-].

At the same time, Liu Rengui was granted the right chancellor and inspector prince Zuo Shuzi, and was given the honor of Lequan County Bo, as the appeasement ambassador of Xiongjin Dao and the general manager of Huijiang Dao.

Li Chengqian appointed Qibi Heli, the general of Youxiaowei, as the appeasement ambassador of Liaodong Road, Pang Tongshan, the general of Youjinwuwei, and Gao Kan, the governor of Yingzhou, as the marching chiefs to jointly crusade against Goguryeo.

"Why does Qili care about their battle in Liaodong?" Li Chengqian asked looking at the huge map hanging on the wall.

As the emperor, Li Chengqian really wanted to go to the royal conquest, so that after a hundred years, he would leave a strong mark, which would be passed on to future generations through the ages.

But he knew in his heart that he was not good at such things as leading troops to fight, and if it was true that the royal conscripts were to be conscripted by themselves, it would only add to the chaos.

Maybe it might end up the same as Ming Yingzong's Tumu Fortress Change, and that would be a lot of fun.

For a dignified son of heaven to be a captive of a small country on the peninsula, it will only make people laugh out loud!
And Li Chengqian, the emperor, will also become the talk of the people in teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys after dinner.

Li Chengqian couldn't afford to lose this person, so he could only point the map at the map for a while, as an afterthought.

"Your Majesty! The news has just come back from Liaodong that Pang Tongshan and others have defeated the Goguryeo army and achieved a preliminary victory." Li Ke said.

"Oh! Where did the Goguryeo army be defeated?" Li Chengqian turned his head and asked with his eyes shining. It was time for him, the emperor, to point out the country and make an afterthought.

Li Ke didn't step forward, but signaled Li Chengqian's sons to give their grandpa some advice.

Li Xiang, Li Jue, and Li Sujie didn't move. They were not interested in this kind of thing, but their grandpa never tired of doing it, so he insisted on pulling them together and giving them a lesson along the way.

Even Li Hui and Li Wu, who were younger, did not step forward, and only Li Xulun, the youngest, stepped forward in the end.

"Father, I have heard my third uncle discuss with a few elder brothers, and I know where it is." Li Xulun said.

"Oh! Where is it? Tell Father Yu to listen." Li Chengqian bent down to pick up the youngest son, turned to look at the map and said.

Li Xulun's big eyes rolled around, and finally stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's there, I've seen Uncle San point it out to a few elder brothers."

"Where? Here?" Li Chengqian asked while holding Li Xulun in one hand and pointing at a point on the map with a thin wooden stick in the other.

"A little lower, no, it seems to be a little further to the left..." Li Xulun corrected the mistake.

Under Li Xulun's repeated corrections and instructions, he finally pointed Li Chengqian to the right position. Li Chengqian put Li Xulun down and said with a smile, "My son is awesome!"

"Hee hee!" Li Xulun smiled happily after being praised by Li Chengqian!

"Look at you, as an elder brother, you don't even know the exact position, and you still need your younger brother to teach you how to do it. Let me tell you what to do." Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiang and his sons, and once turned on the teaching mode.

After Li Chengqian reprimanded Yizhu, Li Xiang and others bowed their heads and admitted their mistake, "I know I was wrong! Please calm down my father."

Li Chengqian couldn't get enough of it, he turned his attention to the map again, and officially started his performance today, talking about wars on paper and pointing out the country.

"Tell me about the situation at that time!" Li Chengqian said with his back to everyone.

"According to Pang Tongshan's military report, they encountered the Goguryeo army shortly after entering Goguryeo, and Pang Tongshan immediately launched an attack on the Goguryeo army..." Li Ke gave Li Chengqian a rough account of the situation at that time.

These were described in the military newspaper sent by Pang Tongshan. At that time, the two armies met, the number of both sides, the terrain, the weather, etc., were all briefly described.

"Although Pang Tongshan and others defeated the Goguryeo army, they still have shortcomings. If Pang Tongshan led the main force to attract the attention of the Goguryeo army."

"Qili Hebi and Gao Kan each lead a troop, and detour from here to here to the back of the Goguryeo army, and then they can wipe out the Goguryeo army." Li Chengqian tapped the thin wooden stick on the map several times and said , I really have a bit of a pointing question.

Li Ke and others quickly agreed. As for whether it is really feasible, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, the Tang army has defeated the Goguryeo army. Now that the situation cannot be reversed, the emperor will show off his skills in the palace at most.

"Of course, even if you don't detour and attack the Goguryeo army from behind, you can still lure them here." Li Chengqian pointed to another place and continued: "As long as you set up an ambush here, you can still wipe out the enemy army."

"What the emperor said is very true! I'm waiting to be taught!" Li Ke said with a smile. He has accompanied the prince to study since ancient times, and now he is accompanying the emperor to discuss wars on paper, which is unprecedented.

"I heard what you said just now, it seems that they are fighting each other, not without mutual cooperation, why?" Li Chengqian asked.

Why else?
Of course, it is for their respective merits. Their status and status are similar. This time they sent troops to attack Goguryeo, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary.

"This time they are attacking Goguryeo. They have the same positions and the same rights. No one can control the other. They can only attack separately." Li Xiang crossed his hands and said.

"This is not acceptable! If it continues like this, not only will it not be able to solve Goguryeo, but it will even return in vain. Then my Tang Dynasty's long-term preparations will be in vain."

"In order to get rid of the border trouble of Goguryeo once and for all this time, I have spent a lot of national power in the Tang Dynasty. I want to assign a commander to them to lead them." Li Chengqian said.

In order to be able to destroy Goguryeo this time, Li Chengqian spent a lot of money. If he couldn't destroy Goguryeo like the previous few times, he would not have the strength to destroy Goguryeo in the future.

"I have decided to let Xue Rengui be the general manager of the Liaodong Road Army, and Li Ji be the deputy general manager. Xue Rengui will command the army and take full responsibility for the attack on Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said.

In his heart, Xue Rengui is the best candidate to destroy Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty! The minister objects! Xue Rengui is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of this attack on Goguryeo." Li Ke crossed his hands and saluted.

"Why not? Xue Rengui has made great military exploits, and made many contributions to our Tang Dynasty. He not only showed his might in Liaodong, but also settled Tianshan Mountain with three arrows when he pacified the nine surnames of Tie Le. If he can't? Who else can do it? " Li Chengqian asked.

If even a master like Xue Rengui can't do it, who else is suitable to be the commander of the crusade against Goguryeo.
