Chapter 156: This general never fights a battle that is unsure

Chen Ying frowned.

Perhaps it was from the habit of later generations that Chen Ying still regarded the twelve-year-old child Li Siye, the eldest son of the treacherous son, as a child. In later generations, Li Siye was just a primary school student and was amazing to be able to enter junior high school.

However, it was so common that marriage was getting married at the age of twelve in the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wugui married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen. That year, Li Shimin was only fifteen years old.

Of course, Pei Ju's meaning is not to get married now, but to get engaged.

Generally speaking, the age of engagement is even younger. Not to mention twelve years old, there are many people who are engaged at the age of seven or eight. If Chen Ying wanted to reject Pei Ju by his young age, he would probably not be able to say anything.

From Chen Ying's height, his children's marriages can no longer rely entirely on free love. After all, political marriages are too common.

Even if Li Siye is just Chen Ying's concubine son, there are only two possibilities for his marriage, either a nobleman or a member of the Li Tang royal family.

Chen Ying did not make a decision directly, but looked at Wang Gui and said, "This matter... I can't make a complete decision, I need to discuss it with his mother. I will give you a clear letter in three days!"

Wang Gui thought Chen Ying was going to discuss with Li Xiuning, so he stood up and said, "I'm disturbing Chen Linggong like this, Wang said goodbye!"

Chen Ying stood up and gave him a look.

When Chen Ying walked to the door, he suddenly saw a team of knights in the distance, as if they were thunderous.

Chen Ying slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at the knight's clothing. It should be the Yuan Sui Imperial Guard. Their purpose was either to pass the order, but probably Li Jiancheng summoned him into the palace.

As expected, the knight turned over and dismounted from the horse thirty steps away from Chen Ying. The knight Chen Ying, who was in charge, also knew him, was Li Anyan, the current left-level guard guard.

Although Li Anyan's position is not as good as Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng will not usually use the dignified third-rank Left Supervisor General Weimon as a messenger.

Chen Ying was thinking in his mind, what happened to make General Li Anyan take action himself?

Just then, Li Anyan bowed and said, "The last general met with General Cavalry!"

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and comforted him: "General Li is exempted from the gift!"

Li Anyan cleared his throat and said, "Tell His Majesty the oral order, and ask General Chen to enter the palace!"

Chen Ying did not want to deal with Chen Qi, and spoke with money and bribed Li Anyan. Instead, he asked directly: "General Li, why did Your Majesty summon Chen to the palace?"

Li Anyan seemed to be eager to speak but stopped, but after thinking for a while, he still suppressed his voice to Chen Ying: "General, something happened in Liaodong!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses and ride to the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an.

Chen Ying and Li Anyan walked side by side with cavalrymen, and the two walked and talked.

Chen Ying finally figured out a rough idea.

Originally, Goguryeo was very close to Lu Yuan Taizuo's son Yuan Su Gaiwen to Chang'an to contact Li Yuanji, intending to send 50,000 surrendered soldiers from the Sui army to Li Yuanji, so that Li Yuanji could act as an internal support within the Tang Dynasty. Once Li Jiancheng launched a nationwide attack on Goguryeo, Li Yuanji took the opportunity to bloom in the center.

These 50,000 surrendered soldiers of the Sui army were secretly placed on Huzhou Island (Today's Jeju Island). As more than ten years have passed, the originally strong Sui army soldiers have long turned into walking corpses. Goguryeo was naturally willing to invest in Li Yuanji, not only supplying enough food and grass, but also arming the more than 50,000 troops with a large number of fine iron armor.

After Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng reconciled, Li Yuanji did not hide the 50,000 troops. Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuanji to pretend to stabilize Goguryeo, and then sent Changlin Army to command Xie Shufang and others to lead more than 1,000 old subordinates of the Qi Prince's Mansion to Huzhou Island to conduct restorative training for the more than 50,000 Sui army soldiers.

Originally, this was just a backup plan by Goguryeo to resist the Tang Dynasty, but no one really took it seriously.

Three days ago, Li Yuanji suddenly received an urgent report from Uncle Xie. For some reason, Goguryeo actually sent more than 70,000 troops across Huzhou Island and suddenly surrounded the wanderer who was wandering outside.

The Goguryeo people were very insidious and deliberately took the lead in suspending the supply of this army. After delaying for four or five days, they suddenly attacked when the army was so hungry that they were dizzy.

Xie Shufang is also a brave general. If he is given enough food and grass, there will be no problem in defending a semi-permanent military camp. Even if Goguryeo sent a hundred thousand troops, Xie Shufang would definitely believe that he could defend the Tang army until the arrival of the Tang army.

However, what I never expected was that the Goguryeo people would be so insidious.

Chen Ying seized the time to rush forward. When he arrived at the government office, the government office was crowded with people and quarreled.

Chen Ying had already heard it outside the door. Some people advocated the rescue, while others suggested that there was no need to work hard for the expedition for several dynasties.

When Chen Ying entered the Political Affairs Hall, he looked at the prime ministers and the political parties with a look of evil spirits.

Everyone stopped talking and arguing unconsciously.

Chen Ying bowed to Li Jiancheng, who was in the main seat and said, "I pay homage to your Majesty!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and signaled Chen Yingluo to sit down.

Chen Ying said angrily: "Are you still quarreling here for a long time!"

Listening to Chen Ying's words, the prime ministers suddenly became embarrassed.

Chen Yingke really didn't give them any face.

Especially Wei Zheng said embarrassedly: "General Chen doesn't know something..."

Chen Ying did not wait for Wei Zheng to explain, and said directly: "Since the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo has always been a vassal state of our heavenly kingdom. Since the latter Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo began to disobey the kingdom and acted recklessly. For more than 30 years, he invaded the west and occupied more than 50 former dynasties. Now he is openly attacking the commander-in-chief of the Prince of Hudao, and is an unjust minister, openly rebelling, and is ruthless. What else is there to discuss? He will kill him. Whoever rebels will destroy him, kills him and see who dares to rebel?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ying did not give the prime ministers any time to react. He turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I am willing to lead 30,000 troops to the Hu Island in Zhou Dynasty to quell the rebellion. If I do not destroy the country and destroy the ancestral temple, I am willing to come and see you!"

Chen Ying's words left the prime minister speechless.

The truth is this. The key is that after Goguryeo was beaten by Yang Guang three times, it left a shadow on everyone. After all, a million troops were defeated in the expedition, and suffered heavy losses.

So when Yang Guang's third expedition to Goguryeo, many people or soldiers would rather harm themselves than attack Goguryeo.

Even the Tiankhan Li Shimin, who was known as invincible in history, returned in disgrace.

Wei Zheng was about to refute Chen Ying, but Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "It's great. I ordered the General of the Cavalry Chen Ying to command the left and right guards to swear an oath to go to war!"

Wei Zheng opened his mouth but did not persuade him again.

He knew that Li Jiancheng had irreversible as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wei Zheng secretly complained in his heart.

Is Goguryeo so easy to fight? Regardless of Yang Guang's martial arts skills, at least Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was recognized as a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. During his reign, he still lost more than 30 armies, but he could not afford Goguryeo. However, Chen Ying actually asked to lead 30,000 troops to go to Goguryeo to destroy his country.

Even though everyone knows that Chen Ying has made great achievements, he is still worried.

Chen Ying got Li Jiancheng's permission and turned around and left the Zhengshi Hall.

After leaving the Political Affairs Hall, Guo Luo greeted him and said, "Master, where are we going?"

Chen Ying said: "Go home first, anyway, the army will be mobilized, and it won't be better for a while."

Just as Chen Ying was about to ride a horse back to Chenjiabao, he suddenly realized that Wei Zheng was chasing him from the Political Affairs Hall.

"General Chen!"

Chen Ying turned around and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What's wrong with Wei Prime Minister?"

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "General Chen, you are reckless today!"

Chen Ying pointed to a war horse and said, "Go on the horse, talk while walking!"

Wei Zheng turned his horse helplessly.

Chen Ying looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, we have known each other for twelve years. You should know that this general has never fought a war that is unsure. This general said that if he used 30,000 troops to destroy Goguryeo, he would definitely destroy Goguryeo!"

"Xuancheng still has a few plans for General Chen's military use!"
