If it weren't for what Li Shen said just now, Jin En would definitely think it was a compliment. However, after Li Shen's interlude just now, Jin En felt blushing after listening to Li Chengqian's words.

No matter how you listen to it, you feel that this sentence is mocking him, and it feels that this sentence is extremely fake.

After Jin En sat down awkwardly, Li Chengqian began to discuss the next thing.

"According to the plan, we have to cross the Liao River, and then go straight to several small cities near the Liao River. General Jin knows this place quite well, and I don't know if he has any insights."

Since you have surrendered, you must act like you are surrendering and be worthy of the treatment given, so Jin En said;

"Marshal, I sent someone to issue a warning earlier. Now I guess there should be a lot of reinforcements in Liaoshuidong.

The Liao River is difficult to pass, and I estimate that there are at least [-] troops defending the other side.

As for the surrounding cities, it is actually easier. They have few defenders and no barbicans. "

"That means the first thing we need to consider is how to cross the Liao River." Li Ji said.

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty crossed the Liao River, he lost all his troops and generals, which shows how dangerous the Liao River is. At that time, they had an army of millions.

"Crossing over is not a problem, the key point is how to cross the Liao River at a small cost." Qiu Xiaozhong asked.

"Your Highness, if you are a trustworthy minister, I am willing to lead [-] soldiers to cross the Liao River on the pretext of defeat and give the opponent a sneak attack.

When the time comes, His Highness will immediately arrange for people to forcibly cross the Liao River, so the loss will not be great. "Jin En said,

After all, he was a reduced general and still had an inspection period. The [-] soldiers and horses he mentioned were definitely not Goguryeo soldiers, otherwise someone might have tipped him off.

But if Jin En faked his surrender, then these [-] soldiers would be in danger.

Everyone is also thinking about gains and losses.

In fact, the best way is to send a general, but it is dangerous for anyone to go.

"I think this method is good."

Just when everyone was thinking about whether it would work, Li Shen woke up.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Shen continued;

"We must believe in General Jin. I think General Jin looks like a loyal man. Since he has promised to be loyal to me, Datang, he will never repent.

General Jin is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He will never abandon his more than 2 subordinates and the tens of thousands of people in the city just to survive. "

After hearing this, Li Chengqian thought that Li Shen had confidence in Jin En, but other veterans on the battlefield, including Jin En, immediately understood what Li Shen meant.

Li Shen told Jin En, we have protons, more than 2 soldiers under your command, and tens of thousands of people in the city.

An idea came to everyone's mind. This governor was young and cruel. He was threatening Jin En with the lives of tens of thousands of people.

If you get tired of playing around, we will massacre the city. Let you Goguryeo people be buried with you.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, since Jin said he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he will never go back on his words. If he violates his will, he will be punished by heaven and earth." Jin En quickly swore to show his loyalty.

Ancient people still attached great importance to oaths.

"Okay, let's rest for a day tomorrow. General Jin will set off with [-] soldiers the day after tomorrow. We will follow from a distance. We are waiting for your signal." Li Chengqian made up his mind.

"The minister takes orders."

Then we started to discuss the details, and finally Qibi Heli took the initiative to ask for help and was willing to follow him personally to facilitate the command.

Because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not necessarily listen to Jin En.

After the discussion, when Qibi Heli was leaving, Li Shen stopped him and secretly gave him two signal bombs from Prince Ji's Mansion.

This is a secret of Prince Ji's Mansion and would not be revealed under normal circumstances.

On that day, Li Chengqian fulfilled his promise, distributed grain to tens of thousands of people in the city, and sent orders to the rear to transport grain seeds.

Prepare to let these tens of thousands of people farm. It is the sowing season in the north at this time. Time cannot be wasted, otherwise the Tang Dynasty may not be able to supply the entire people of Goguryeo next year.

On the third day, Jin En set off with the team that had changed into Goguryeo armor. After Li Chengqian left [-] defenders to guard Wuliluo City, he waited for half a day and set off with the rest of the troops.

------The hydrographic line that I haven't seen for a long time--------

"Eight hundred miles urgent~~~The prince captured Wu Liluo, killed [-] enemies and captured [-]~~~~~"

"Eight hundred miles urgent~~~The prince captured Wu Liluo, killed [-] enemies and captured [-]~~~~~"

Two fast horses from the east gate of Chang'an City quickly passed through the Chunming Gate and went straight to the palace.

Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial in Liangyi Hall, and he had to handle everything after the prince left. At this time, I heard a noise outside,

Soon Li An brought in two messengers.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up for eight hundred miles and the prince will capture Wu Liluo." One of them said and took out two memorials from his arms.

"Hurry, bring it up." Li Shimin said anxiously to Wang De.

He took a look at the memorial handed over by Wang De and saw that one was from Li Chengqian and the other was from Li Daozong.

Li Shimin opened Li Chengqian's handwriting first and read it. His handwriting was neat, much better than Li Shen's handwriting, and it was very organized.

Write clearly every step of the battle, every order given, and the process of the battlefield.

After killing more than 3000 enemies and capturing more than 6000 people, Goguryeo surrendered and wrote that he wanted to give him the title of County Marquis.

Looking at Li Chengqian's memorial, Li Shimin laughed loudly. A title was nothing, and he was a county prince with only a name but no power.

This time Li Chengqian was very proud of him, and the governor he appointed also played a key role.

He knew how could a guy like Li Shen, who was afraid of death, not bring some good things.

Li Shimin was happy for a while and then opened Li Daozong's memorial. This memorial was actually similar to Li Chengqian's.

It is just an observer's attitude about all Li Chengqian's words and deeds during the battle, including various orders.

It's just that there's not a single word mentioned about Li Shen's role.

"Wang De, please pass this memorial to the three provinces and circulate it in the court tomorrow." Li Shimin handed Li Daozong's memorial to Wang De.

Li Daozong has followed Li Shimin for so many years, and of course he understands Li Shimin's thoughts and intentions. Understanding the holy will is also the basic accomplishment of an official.

What he wrote was that Li Chengqian stayed calm in the face of danger and ordered a surprise move to capture Wuliluo within half a day, thus reducing the casualties of the soldiers.

He also persuaded the Goguryeo general Jin En to surrender, making Jin En kneel down and pledge his allegiance.

Li Shimin was very satisfied and showed these big shots that the prince was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs and that the memorial was written by Li Daozong himself.

I know all the handwriting and cannot fake it. This is enough to prove the ability of Prince Li Chengqian. There are successors in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin wanted others to know that his son would be like him, opening up and expanding territory for the Tang Dynasty, able to govern the country with literature, and prosper the country with force.
