Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 427 Bad Father-in-Law
"Although Xue Rengui has great achievements in battle, the most important thing in my Tang Dynasty is a famous general with great achievements in battle. The crusade against Goguryeo is of great importance. If there is no one who convinces everyone and has a high prestige as the commander, others may not be convinced."

"At that time, not to mention defeating Goguryeo, it might be used by Goguryeo in turn, causing our army to collapse. At that time, it will not return without success, but will cause even greater losses. Please think again, Your Majesty. "Li Ke said.

Li Ke's objection naturally has his reasons.

In the era when the generals of the Tang Dynasty were as numerous as clouds, there was no shortage of generals with great military exploits, and what was lacking was a commander who could command all armies.

In the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, it is not surprising that a great man like Xue Rengui was caught in a handful.

In the Tang Dynasty, the country was not destroyed, so I was ashamed to say that I was a famous general.

"Then you can tell me, who is suitable to be the commander in Tang Dynasty now, who has the ability to command the armies and convince them." Li Chengqian said.

The elimination of Goguryeo is of great importance, and it is related to the future strategic goals of the entire Tang Dynasty. If the commander-in-chief is not suitable and all previous efforts are wasted, it will affect the entire future situation.

He Li Chengqian is an emperor who can listen to other people's advice.

He will carefully consider Li Ke's opinions.

"My brother thinks that the British Duke Li Ji is worthy of this post, and it is most suitable for Li Ji to be the general manager of the Liaodong Road and command the army." Li Ke said.

As the veteran of the three dynasties, Li Ji also made great military exploits. He is not only senior, but also has a high prestige. If he is the general manager of the Liaodong Road, he will command all the troops. Qi Li and others will be convinced.

Li Chengqian had no objection to the candidate recommended by Li Ke, and Li Ji was indeed the top choice in terms of prestige and qualifications!
It is also good for him to be the general manager of the Liaodong Road March!
When it comes to letting Li Ji command the army and crusade against Goguryeo, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of an allusion.

It is said that when Li Ji went to Goguryeo, he wanted to take his son-in-law Du Huaigong with him, so that he could make great achievements and find a good future.

No one expected that Du Huaigong would give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With his father-in-law around, making achievements is not a piece of cake, just a matter of sprinkling water.

Du Huaigong declined on the grounds that his family was poor. Li Ji felt that this was not a problem at all, so he promised to provide him with money and insisted on taking him to Liaodong.

Du Huaigong saw that the plan was not going to work, so he declined on the grounds that he had no servants and horses. He was still unwilling to follow Li Ji to Liaodong.

Li Ji saw that he was evasive, so he ordered people to prepare servants and horses for him. Now Du Huaigong had nothing to say, so he could only agree to follow Li Ji.

Just when everyone thought that everything was settled, Du Huaigong hid in Qiyang Mountain when Li Ji and others were not paying attention.

Everyone was puzzled, how could there be such a stupid person in this world, your father-in-law took care of you like this, let you follow him to make contributions, and he could still treat you badly, it's okay if you Du Huaigong is ungrateful, and let others dove, it's really too much not something.

So everyone decided to find Du Huaigong and take a good look at him, whether he had lost his mind or was kicked by a donkey, otherwise why would he leave such a good person alone and run to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

As Li Ji's son-in-law, he is naturally very clear about Li Ji's pissing nature. Where Li Ji wants to support his son-in-law, he clearly wants his life. People go to Liaodong.

He, Li Ji, wanted to establish his prestige by killing relatives righteously, so he didn't want to be a chicken killed by his father-in-law.

If he died, wouldn't his mother-in-law remarry?How could he let such a thing happen.

When someone found him and asked why, Du Huaigong cried and said to people: "Why does Mr. Li want to support me? He clearly wants to use me to make an example of others."

Naturally, people didn't believe Du Huaigong's words, they all felt that Du Huaigong didn't know good from bad, so they told Li Ji what Du Huaigong said.

When Li Ji heard about it, instead of being heartbroken as people imagined, he shed tears and said: "Du Lang is loose and unrestrained, and that's exactly what I meant. I never wanted to be seen through by him. That's all. Since he didn't want to go with him, I let him go." Him!"

Everyone was shocked by Li Ji's words, and Du Huaigong really hit the mark!Although this son-in-law is not a son, as a father-in-law, you can't be like that!

Therefore, Li Ji asked Du Huaigong to be released and did not ask him to go with him.

"Since you strongly recommend Li Ji, then appoint Li Ji as the chief marching officer of Liaodong Road, and Xue Rengui as the deputy chief marching officer of Liaodong Road." Li Chengqian said.

Since Xue Rengui cannot be allowed to be the coach of the crusade against Goguryeo, it is still possible to have a deputy commander.

Li Ke and others had no objection to Li Chengqian's decision.

The imperial court issued an imperial edict to appoint Li Ji as the general manager of the Liaodong Road Marching Army, commanding all the troops, and going out to attack Goguryeo.

After Li Ji received the imperial edict, he went to the residence of his son-in-law Du Huaigong, and when he learned that his father-in-law had come, Xiao Du's family was naturally very happy, so they took care of themselves to entertain their father-in-law Li Ji.

While eating, Li Ji told his son-in-law and daughter the purpose of his visit, and Du Huaigong's expression changed drastically on the spot.

I entertained him kindly, but this old man had such sinister intentions that he wanted to trick him to Liaodong and kill Liwei.

What kind of character is Du Huaigong, I don't know in my heart.

On weekdays, he is used to being undisciplined and has never been restrained. If he goes to Liaodong, he will definitely violate the military law.

At that time, his old father-in-law, Li Ji, would definitely show no mercy by withdrawing him and beheading him in public to impose strict military laws.

He and Li Ji have been Weng son-in-law for so many years, who would not know what kind of sex the other party is.

But it was not very good to refuse in person, so Du Huaigong had an idea and started his performance according to the historical script.

First, he said that his family was poor and there was no rice for cooking. If he went to Liaodong, there would be no one to take care of him!

Li Ji is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, seeing every move, he insisted on dispelling all Du Huaigong's moves, even if he didn't go with him.

Du Huaigong simply gave Li Ji a 36-counter plan and ran away, to see what Li Ji could do with him.

In this way, Li Ji was completely at a loss. After hearing what Du Huaigong said to others, he gave up the idea of ​​taking this son-in-law to Liaodong.

When Li Ji and Xue Rengui were ready, they led the army to go to Goguryeo.

Before leaving, Li Chengqian came to see them off in person, and personally poured a bowl of wine for both of them, wishing them a triumphant return from their crusade against Goguryeo.

After drinking the farewell wine, Li Ji and his two got on their horses and set off. Li Chengqian watched them leave before returning to Daming Palace.
