Chapter 864 Take the opportunity to rest

Thanks to Cheng Yaojin's big mouth, news that Liaodong is about to change is spreading rapidly in the government and the country.

Coupled with the confirmation of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, the government and the people believed it firmly.

Originally, this quiet winter suddenly became popular, and the civil officials were worried and worried, while the military generals wrote letters to request troops!

Even the people were talking about it. Although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty were defeated shortly after a crushing defeat, the people in the market were still angry about it.

Over the years, the Tang Dynasty's national strength has been booming, the Western Regions have shown great power, and the people from all directions have come to court. All the people in Chang'an have stood up straight. Now I suddenly heard that Goguryeo took the initiative to provoke, which is simply intolerable!

"You don't know that the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, and each time it launched a million troops, and countless soldiers conquered, causing chaos in the world, and unparalleled casualties. It still failed to conquer Goguryeo!"

"Bah! Emperor Yang of Sui was the king of the devastated country. Can he compare with His Majesty today?"

"That's true!"

"Emperor Yang of Sui was besieged by the Turks in Yanmen Pass back then! Our Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop. Can it be the same?"

"That's true! Not only your Majesty's wiseness, there are many wise ministers and generals in our court!"

"There is also Duke Rong, Duke Rong is not just a talented man, but also a strange man!"

"When you mention Duke Rong, you don't mention muskets and cannons. You will definitely beat the Goguryeo people to the point of falling water!"

Although Emperor Yang of Sui took three Eastern Expeditions and made people breathe a sigh of relief, after the people discussed it, they felt that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was no longer comparable to that of the former Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, the Holy Emperor is in the court now, and there are many wise ministers and generals, as well as monsters like Duke Rong.

The most important thing is that people come to the door and can’t be cowardly no matter what!

Just as the government and the opposition were talking, Su Cheng was very calm and did not look angry at all.

Not only Su Cheng was a little calm, but even the emperor was a little calm. He only issued some orders for transferring troops, food and grass from time to time, and all of them were successfully executed.

There was no voice in the court and the country, and even Wei Zheng had no voice.

Wei Zheng was also a minister who had experienced the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. He was not afraid of war. If Goguryeo took the initiative to provoke the war, the most important thing was that the government and the public united and beat Goguryeo's dog head!

The fight is fierce! The fight hurts! They will never dare to start the battle lightly again!

The civil officials were responsible for government affairs, and the military generals were ready to show their skills.

The government and the country were waiting for the urgent report from Liaodong.

Xue Wanche rode straight to Sujiazhuang.

"Duke, Liaodong's urgent report should be coming soon, right?" Xue Wanche asked sneakily.

Liaodong urgently reports? Liaodong urgently reports!

The subjects of the Tang Dynasty were afraid of attacking Goguryeo, but Goguryeo was also afraid of being attacked by the Tang Dynasty.

Although the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty failed, Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses and almost destroyed the country. Now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still above the former Sui Dynasty.

The monarch and ministers of Goguryeo were very wary of the Tang Dynasty and could not take the initiative to launch troops against the Tang Dynasty. How could there be an urgent response?

Su Cheng called out and said, "Who knows when will I come urgently?"

Xue Wanche said anxiously: "If you want to fight in the east, then the Duke of the State must be the deputy general manager. I am willing to be the pioneer of the Duke of the State!"

Su Cheng was a little confused, why am I the deputy general manager?

The emperor will lead the army in person, where did these rumors spread? They are also very well-known!

But there are some words that cannot be explained to Xue Wanche. Su Cheng smiled and said, "You have just returned from Jiangnan in autumn and still want to go out for battle? Don't have more rest, so spend more time with Princess Danyang!"

Have more rest?

On the one hand, he missed the feeling of riding on the battlefield, but on the other hand, he also wanted to rest!

Yes, he went to the battlefield to fight just to take the opportunity to rest.

Of course, this is not easy to say to Su Cheng.

Xue Wanche hurriedly said, "No need to rest? I just went to Jiangnan. I was not tired at all! I don't need to rest at all. Of course, I, Xue Wanche, have to fight on the battlefield and live up to this bravery!"

Xue Wanche was right at all. When he was galloping down the south of the Yangtze River, he really didn't feel tired. He felt energetic and his muscles were moving.

On the contrary, my legs are sometimes a little weak in Chang'an.

Su Cheng didn't think much about it. A powerful general like Xue Wanche was born to fight on the battlefield, and it was normal that he couldn't wait to go to war.

Moreover, Su Cheng felt that if Li Shimin led the army to fight in person, Xue Wanche would definitely go to war with the army.

First of all, wouldn’t it be a pity for a powerful general like Xue Wanche to stay in Chang'an?

Secondly, Xue Wanche was once Li Jiancheng's confidant general, so of course it is best to let him go to the army to fight.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "That's right, you are born to fight on the battlefield. It would be a pity if you stayed in Chang'an!"

"Don't worry, if you go to the battle, you will definitely be yours!"

Xue Wanche didn't think much after hearing this. He thought Su Cheng meant that if Su Cheng went to war, he would definitely bring him with him.

Xue Wanche breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said happily: "Thank you, Duke! Thank you, Duke!"

Lao Xue is so honest. Su Cheng was really embarrassed and could only smile and said, "Whether we are with each other, do you need to be so polite?"

Xue Wanche scratched his head and felt moved. He felt like Su Cheng was dying for his confidant, and Su Cheng really said nothing to him, which was very good.

If Su Cheng goes to war, then he is willing to be Su Cheng's vanguard and say that he will help Su Cheng win a big victory no matter what.

Xue Wanche returned happily and was ready to go to war because he guessed that the emergency report from Liaodong was about to arrive.

Not only Xue Wanche felt this way, but also the generals in the court felt this way, and they wrote letters to request the expedition.

They felt that they could not wait until the emergency report from Liaodong came to go to the expedition. The army arrived in Liaodong and the daylily was cold!

By then, the Goguryeo army might have captured the city long ago. Even if it cannot capture the city, it will burn, kill and loot.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for the urgent report from Liaodong and send troops directly.

Of course, Li Shimin ignored the memorials written to request the battle. What are you sending troops? There is no war in Liaodong now, and there is no need to report urgently. He just wants to prepare food and grass in advance, but he doesn't want to mobilize troops to Liaodong in advance.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others couldn't help but run to the palace. After hearing this, Li Shimin only said lightly that he didn't know what was going on in Liaodong now, so he would talk about it when he was urgently reported.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were a little confused. What was going on in Liaodong? Isn’t it all over to send troops directly!

Even if there is an urgent report from Liaodong to Chang'an, Liaodong is so far away from Chang'an, the situation in the urgent report is the situation in Liaodong before.
