After a pause, he continued: "Goguryeo is not Gaochang after all, Gaochang is just a small country. Goguryeo has the right time, place, people and people, and only rely on a partial teacher. I think it is difficult to defeat. Of course, I did not mean to be despised by His Highness Shuofang Prince, but just felt... it was a bit risky."

"No." Li Shimin shook his head and said in a confident tone: "No adventure."

Zhang Qian was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Is Your Majesty confident in the Prince Shuofang?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Who dares to say that he is 100% sure of the wars in history? I am not confident in the Chen Qing family, but because... Chen Zhengtai's strategy is indeed a good idea."

While he said, pointing at the map, and then continued firmly: "The Tiance Army attacked north from Baekje, which will naturally threaten the domestic city hundreds of miles away. If the Goguryeo kings are not guaranteed, they will definitely leave a large number of military and horses here to prevent it before they happen. At this time, if I personally led hundreds of thousands of troops and marched east along the land route to Goguryeo, most of the military and horses in Goguryeo have been delayed by the Tiance Army in the domestic city, and the counties in Liaodong will be empty. As long as I traveled through the Liao River with my troops, I will be destroyed! Within a year, I will be able to reach the domestic city with the Tiance Army. At that time... it will be only a matter of time."

Zhang Qian immediately understood.

Chen Zhengtai’s idea was that he led his troops to take the other party’s nest, and this plan was of course very adventurous.

But Li Shimin was different. He did not object to Chen Zhengtai's opinion, but instead used Chen Zhengtai's Tiance army's threat to the domestic city, allowing the Tiance army to hold back a large number of Goguryeo's elite soldiers and instead attacked by land. Then Goguryeo was in a dilemma and rushed to support the Liaodong counties in large numbers, which would inevitably lead to the emptiness of the capital and the Tiance army might have been picked by the domestic city. However, if a large number of military horses were left in the capital, Liaodong would not have enough troops to guard it.

At that time, Li Shimin led an army of hundreds of thousands of people to go wildly, and could advance all the way eastward, and completely annex Goguryeo.

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is really a wise man. In this way, Goguryeo will become a turtle in the jar by then."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The Goguryeo people have never lost their responsibilities and have been secretly occupied by the counties of Liaodong and Lelang. If they are not eliminated for a day, I will not be able to sleep or eat. Emperor Yang of Sui cannot solve the hidden dangers, so I will solve them at once."

Li Shimin seemed very excited. To him, Goguryeo and Gaochang were different from Tubo. Goguryeo is a problem left over from the previous dynasty. If Goguryeo can be completely solved, then his civil and military skills will be able to catch up with Emperor Wen of Sui.

And he believes that this time he has a great grasp.

Of course... he must be in person this time. If other generals go to battle, he will not feel at ease. This battle is too important.

As for Chen Zhengtai's partial army... of course it is also very important... Chen Zhengtai can hold back the main force of Goguryeo, and when Li Shimin personally led the expedition, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops could conquer Liaodong first, and then go south directly to reach the Goguryeo royal city.

"If this battle is won, my achievements will be immortal." Li Shimin's eyes were slightly red and covered with blood. He said with a little excitement: "So... it is not a bad thing to use troops at this time. You can't give Goguryeo any more time. I have been waiting for too long and too long. Early tomorrow morning, please summon Li Jing, Chen Zhengtai and others to meet."

Seeing Li Shimin confidently, Zhang Qian could only respond honestly: "OK!"

…………

The next day, Chen Zhengtai entered the palace early in the morning and happily went to Tai Chi Palace.

By the time he arrived, the building was already crowded, and the prime minister and generals all arrived.

I think his memorial has a result, so next... it depends on the Tiance Army.

He promised Li Shimin that he would definitely solve the Goguryeo problem in advance.

Now that the time is ripe, it depends on his own.

But soon... Chen Zhengtai was a little confused.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile and said, "Zhengtai's Tiance army set out immediately, along the canal to Tianjin, then the Shanghai ship and Yang Fan went out to sea to Baekje... This battle is crucial, I will depend on the Tiance army."

Chen Zhengtai said happily: "Don't worry, your majesty, my son..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Li Shimin said again: "In order to support the Tiance army, I should send troops from the four 29 states of Guanlong, Hebei and Bingzhou. I ordered Li Jing to be the chief general of Liaodong Road, recruit 150,000 people, and march towards Liaodong. In addition, I led the imperial guards and escorted the formation in the back. This time... I will definitely recover Goguryeo to avenge Goguryeo to insult me ​​in the Central Plains."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

The situation was too sudden, and Chen Zhengtai was obviously a little overwhelmed.

No.

Didn’t I tell you to solve it?

I saw that Li Jing had raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed.

Yesterday, he opposed the advance and believed that this time was not a good time to advance.

But now it is different. Your Majesty ordered him to be the chief general of Liaodong Road and lead his army to fight against Liaodong, and Your Majesty also brought the imperial guards to escort the formation. In this way, this time is a great time for him to make contributions.

You know, Li Jing is not young now, and he knows very well that the world has stabilized. If he missed this time, he may never be able to make contributions in his life.

The battle of Goguryeo may be his last command of troops.

Li Jing was very happy, tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Here."

Li Shimin looked around with his tiger eyes and seemed full of confidence. He looked at the surprised Chen Zhengtai: "It seems that the Chen Qing family has something to say?"

Chen Zhengtai was speechless, but he hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, I think... with the Tiance Army, you can directly attack the domestic city."

Although he felt that it was useless, he obviously wanted to continue working hard!

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I am not questioning the combat power of the Tiance Army. This battle is not a small matter. It can only succeed, not fail. Goguryeo is a great country, claiming to have 600,000 elite soldiers. How can it be determined in one go? If you attack from the sea, you will go deeper alone. But if there is no large army to support you, the consequences will be unimaginable. If you are in the battle against Liaodong, you will just echo with you. You can attack yourself, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

This is not the version he originally conceived!

I thought I was the main force, but who knew... but I really became a partial master.

Chen Zhengtai still found it difficult to adapt. In his original idea, he should be the general who conquered Goguryeo, but judging from the current arrangement, it turns out that he is General Ershi? TMD, isn't this a mess?
