Li Chengqian didn't know much about the process of Li Shimin's conquest of Goguryeo, but he knew that this time the Tang Dynasty did not suffer any losses, and I think Li Shiji would not suffer any losses either.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said confidently: "No, I'll send an order to deal with them, and there's no need to rush to capture Anshi City. There are mountains and forests near Anshi City. Under the conditions of strong and weak, you can use the sixteen-character policy of "the enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy stands, I disturb me, the enemy is tired, I attack me, and the enemy retreats, and I chase me."

Ma Zhou and others knew that Li Shimin left to hand over the affairs of Youzhou and Goguryeo to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian is now the crown prince of the state. What he said can indeed be directly sent to Li Shiji through the Secretariat as an imperial edict.

But everyone in the hall was still skeptical about this style of playing.

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I think this matter is still a request to the Holy Majesty for the verdict!"

"His prince once led his army to destroy Goguryeo and was well versed in military affairs. Since he had already explained the countermeasures, why should His Majesty ask for advice?" Du He immediately stood up and refuted.

As soon as Du He stood out and spoke, the ministers in the hall looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian quickly calculated the gains and losses of the matter in his heart. If someone else said this, Li Chengqian might think that it was a blow to his prestige, but Ma Zhou did not have this need.

Following Du He's words, Li Shimin won't do anything to him...

Li Chengqian was thinking, and suddenly looked up and saw that all the ministers were looking at him. He was moved and said in his heart: "The Ma Qing family brought the orphan king's decree to ask His Majesty for instructions."

"I obey the order!" Ma Zhou's face showed a refreshing look of joy.

Li Chengqian looked at Du He and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

----------------------------

When he was traveling, Li Chengqian still felt that this was a miracle. He had never traveled through time, and he knew that the eastern expedition to Goguryeo was Li Shimin's obsession.

If Li Shimin goes to war this time, the Tang Dynasty will quickly destroy Goguryeo with gunpowder and hot air balloons, which will only make the Northeast more chaotic and leave huge hidden dangers for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin himself is also very likely to become arrogant. Historical records show that Wang Xuance will return to the Tang Dynasty from India next year, and he will bring back someone to Li Shimin who can refine the "elixir of immortality".

This person almost made Li Shimin a madman. Later generations speculated that Li Shimin died suddenly after taking the elixir of immortality.

At that time, I don’t know what kind of disaster it will bring to the Tang Dynasty and the world, so Li Chengqian has been trying to find ways to stop Li Shimin from the Eastern Expedition.

And those who have a little knowledge of history know that the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty were the beginning of China's transition from a warm and humid climate to a drought and cold climate.

After the Tang Dynasty, there were no more dynasties in Xi'an. The reason was that the northwest gradually became arid climate, and neither crops nor grazing could develop, making the entire northwest very poor.

It is justified to make the arrangement of Yanjing in advance, so that it can become a gathering place for Han people and Han culture, and to make the cultural context there stronger and radiate to Liaodong and the frontier.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has left today, just to let you preside over the overall situation in Liaodong and Youzhou. Why does Ma Zhou still ask Your Majesty for instructions?

If this is a fixed rule, His Highness the Crown Prince will step down from his position as a state supervisor, and he will definitely ask His Majesty for everything in the future." Du He asked in confusion.

Du He naturally would not refute Ma Zhou for no reason. He spoke for the sake of Li Chengqian's future growth.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Du He and smiled, "At first, the Lone King thought so, but when he thought about it, he realized something was wrong."

"oh?"

Li Chengqian continued: "Although Your Majesty left the hall, he is still doing it. It is natural to ask Your Majesty for advice on such military and national affairs. Moreover, I will not increase my troops for Li Shiji, nor will I allow him to withdraw his troops. If Li Shiji is a mediocre person and is defeated by this, who will be guilty of it?

Since Your Majesty intends to order me to Youzhou, as long as my will is outrageous, Your Majesty will not reject it to hurt my prestige."

Du He nodded and smiled, "It's my heart that I'm walking on the gentleman's stomach with a villain. Now I think if His Royal Highness insists on issuing the order and the matter is heard, there will be a villain who will provoke it."

Sure enough, as Li Chengqian expected, after listening to Ma Zhou's report, Li Shimin immediately agreed to issue an order to Li Shiji according to Li Chengqian's statement.

At the same time, the order was issued: to establish Youzhou Xingtai, preside over the construction of Yandu and Liaodong military affairs, and to control all military affairs in Hedong and Hebei. Crown Prince Li Chengqian selected Youzhou Xingtai officials and supervised Youzhou Xingtai government affairs.

During the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin served as a prince as a layperson, and the war to pacify the world was almost equivalent to another court.

Li Chengqian is now inconvenient to be the crown prince, so he directly ordered him to supervise him. His power is higher than that of the Shangshu Ling of the Daxingtai, which shows that Li Shimin has extraordinary trust in him.

"Your Highness, when will we set out to Youzhou?" Du He asked excitedly after receiving the order.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "No hurry, you must do the work here first, and it is not too late to go to Youzhou."

Li Chengqian thought to himself: Since Li Shimin has issued an order, it will not change in a short period of time.

But he had to prepare in advance. He planned to build Yandu City according to the standards of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which required countless money, grain and manpower.

If the civil servants were recruited from the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty could support the national strength, the gentry and officials of the Tang Dynasty would scold him to death, and even the Tang Dynasty would curse him to pieces.

"It's said that Xue Rengui came in."

As Li Chengqian's number one bodyguard, Xue Rengui has been guarding the palace these days.

"My de Xue Rengui, please see the Crown Prince!" Xue Rengui came in and bowed with his fists.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and said, "Rengui is flat, give him a seat!"

"Thank you, Prince." Xue Rengui bowed and sat down.

Among all the ministers, Xue Rengui believed in Li Chengqian the most because when he was not famous, Li Chengqian sent someone to find him and said that Xue Rengui had the talent of a general and could help him pacify the world.

The more extraordinary Li Chengqian showed, the more Xue Rengui took this sentence seriously.

Li Chengqian looked at Xue Rengui and said with a smile: "Rengui needs tens of thousands of manpower to build Yan Capital. Last time, we had left the manpower to destroy Xue Yantuo in the northwest to mine. The Gu Wang thought that the civilians who built Yan Capital would have to go from Goguryeo to build Yan Capital."

Li Chengqian destroyed Xue Yantuo and Xue Rengui as a general, so he naturally knew how those prisoners were arranged.

Xue Rengui directly asked for an order: "I am willing to lead troops to help Li's army break through the city of Anshi."

Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't rush to destroy Anshi City. Now there are soldiers from the edge of Anshi City. The Lone King thought that the nest of Maria would be empty. If a brigade had captured Maria's nest, the early manpower and livestock would be enough."

"I obey the order!" Xue Rengui stood up and received the order without saying a word.

Li Chengqian stood up and helped him up, solemnly arranged: "It is not easy to go on a labor expedition. You can send someone to Songxian to recall Pei Xingjian and ask him to arrange for spies to find out the specific location of the Marine nest first."

"I obey the order!" Xue Rengui saluted.
