Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help laughing after hearing this. From beginning to end, they didn't expect Su Cheng to go to war with the army. Of course, the reasons the emperor said were also reasons, but not the biggest reason.

The biggest reason is of course that Su Cheng has been newly married for less than half a month. Why is the emperor willing to let Princess Changle stay alone in the empty room less than half a month after she got married?

Su Cheng had no choice but to bow and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The marching chief manager was confirmed, but the candidate for the deputy chief manager was not determined.

If Su Cheng went to the army with the army, the candidate for the deputy general manager must be Su Cheng, because a group of old guys did not go to the battle. Who else could suppress Su Cheng except Hou Junji?

However, Su Cheng did not go to the war. Xue Rengui was the one who took over Su Cheng's war. Of course, Xue Rengui was not qualified to be the deputy general manager of the marching.

Everyone's attention is focused on the candidates for the deputy general manager. After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, who has not had a close subordinate?

This time, the dispatch of troops to Gaochang is a battle to destroy the country, a battle to glory, and a battle to expand territory. The contributions of this battle can be imagined, and it will be solemnly written into historical books!

Not only the battle to destroy the country, but also search for the seeds of white flower, which is another great contribution to the people of the Tang Dynasty!

Of course, the biggest credit is that Su Cheng couldn't escape, but the soldiers who brought back the white flower seeds on the expedition were also great credit.

Moreover, everyone was not worried about what would happen if they failed? Isn’t it just a small Gaochang country?

Not to mention conquering Gaochang Kingdom, even if they conquer the Western Turks, they all have strong confidence! Because the Tang Dynasty has become even stronger!

Not only are there artillery and muskets, the overall strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the soldiers are brave and confident, with sufficient food and supplies, and will become more and more sufficient, with enough national strength and military strength to launch a war.

Of course, if we conquer the Western Turks, it would be a war that would be carried out by more than 100,000 troops and the entire court would run for it.

Therefore, there is no need for the court to prepare for the war with all its might. Send a partial army to conquer the battle, and everyone will have the confidence to win.

This is a journey of meritorious service!

Li Shimin pondered and asked, "Do you have a candidate for the deputy general manager?"

Cheng Yaojin and others stared at each other and waited for this sentence! But before everyone could speak, Su Cheng was already confused and said, "Isn't the deputy general manager Xue Rengui?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even Li Shimin was stunned. He asked Xue Rengui to be the deputy general? Xue Rengui was just a general. Is he qualified to be the deputy general?

And he is also a deputy general manager who has never led troops to the battlefield. Can he convince the public?

Su Cheng What do you think?

Li Shimin and others looked at Su Cheng with speechless eyes.

However, Su Cheng did think that Xue Rengui was the deputy general manager of the marching, because Li Shimin mentioned Xue Rengui after appointing Hou Junji as the chief manager of the marching. Moreover, in Su Cheng's heart, Xue Rengui was a famous general, so it would be fine to be the deputy general manager of the marching!

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I know that Xue Rengui is proficient in military tactics, but he still lacks experience in combat formations, and lacks qualifications and prestige, so he cannot convince the public."

Su Cheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this. He thought that Xue Rengui had the opportunity to lead the army and would shine. After all, he had great expectations for Xue Rengui.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin flatly rejected it. He was also helpless. He could only say that there were too many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and any one of them was a super powerful general.

Seeing Su Cheng's disappointed look, Li Shimin felt a little dissatisfied. He also knew that this battle was of great significance and great contribution. Su Cheng was denied by him because of his newlyweds, and Xue Rengui was indeed not qualified enough.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Su Cheng, do you have anyone else to recommend it?"

Who else would recommend it? Su Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. Although he had a good relationship with many generals in the court, strictly speaking, it was not his.

Although Su Cheng was very influential in the court and in front of the emperor, Su Cheng himself had a solid foundation because of his extraordinary achievements, but he had no other foundation.

But he was slightly stunned. After a while, he realized that he still had a big fool?

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I really want to recommend someone. He has qualifications, prestige and ability."

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Oh? I'm curious about who you want to recommend, and you actually praised you so much!"

Cheng Yaojin and others were also very curious, who would Su Cheng recommend?

Su Cheng said seriously: "I recommend Xue Wanche."

Li Shimin was stunned at first, then suddenly realized that this was unexpected to him and reasonable.

Su Cheng has a very close relationship with Xue Wanche recently, and it was the one he took the initiative to pull him, so Xue Wanche became enlightened. He actually climbed up along the pole, running towards Sujiazhuang all day long, and even found medicinal wine from Sujiazhuang.

Don’t say that the medicinal wine is really effective.

If Su Cheng recommended someone else, he would be even more surprised.

Not only Li Shimin was surprised, but also Cheng Yaojin and others were surprised. They never expected that the person Su Cheng recommended was Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche is a powerful general!

The teenagers are already charging into battle!

During the Battle of the late Sui Dynasty, although Xue Wanche was not old, he was also a famous general!

It’s just a pity that he was eventually taken over by Prince Yin.

After Xuanwu Gate, although Xue Wanche was pardoned by His Majesty, he was still kept away from everyone. Therefore, no one would remember him, let alone recommend him!

Originally, Cheng Yaojin and others were all from the Qin Prince's Mansion and were not very familiar with Xue Wanche. How could they recommend Xue Wanche?

In the past, the people from the Prince's Mansion had long since fallen into trees and scattered, only asking for their own protection, and they dare not interact with each other, for fear of causing misunderstandings and suspicion.

Moreover, if Xue Wanche is recommended to lead the troops, he will take risks. What if Xue Wanche suddenly rebels when leading the troops outside?

Then those who recommend Xue Wanche will also be implicated, unless someone is not afraid of implicating, but how many people can there be in the court?

Su Cheng is one of them. If Xue Wanche led his troops abroad and rebelled, Su Cheng would probably go to Li Shimin to report the good news.

Look, isn’t this a great achievement when a traitor has been lured?

Of course, Su Cheng would not think that Xue Wanche would rebel. Even if Xue Wanche really wanted to rebel, the question is whether Xue Wanche had a direct army? Who is so stupid that he rebelled with Xue Wanche?

So Su Cheng didn't care about this at all, and now he didn't feel resentment in Xue Wanche.

It is indeed pitiful to think about Xue Wanche’s frustration and despair over the years. A good general is idle and decadent, and he will not be really useless in the end, right?

That would be a pity!

So Su Cheng really wanted to give Xue Wanche a hand.
