At the court meeting, Li Shimin was furious.

"I don't understand why a [-]-strong army can be defeated so thoroughly against a group of alien races like savages!"
Li Shimin's roar came out of Xiande Hall, and echoed in the ears of every minister.

"Is it because I didn't pay the army enough, or is it that the [-] troops don't have armor and weapons?"
"Who can give me an answer, what happened here? Li Jing, you are Minister of the Ministry of War, tell me!"
Li Jing had a look of embarrassment on his face: let me come out at this time, isn't it letting me take the blame?

"Chen... is not on the front line, so I dare not judge this."
Seeing Li Shimin's expression changed, Li Jing quickly said: "Your Majesty, please send ministers to go out to fight. If you dare to issue a military order, the rebellion will be quelled within three months."
Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hands: "It's really not your fault, that's all. You should stay in Chang'an with your body, and stop running around."
In this way, Li Jing, who was able to expedition to the desert in history and captured Jieli Khan, lost the opportunity to lead the army.

"King Qin, just work hard and take a trip."
Li Shimin directly ordered Li Wenbin's general, and Li Wenbin was overjoyed, and said, "Yes, I obey the order."
"I appointed you as the general manager of the army marching along the Hedong and Hebei roads, and you are fully responsible for the local military affairs in the two roads."
"The minister leads the decree."
"How many people are you going to take to counter the rebellion?"
"I plan to bring only [-] light cavalry and [-] Qin Palace guards."
"Don't you even bring a strong horse?"
"Yes, I don't plan to bring Qiangqi to go out this time. I think that Xi and the Khitan rebels are mostly entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests, and heavy cavalry like Qiangqi won't play a big role."
"Well, what you said makes sense, I agree."
"Your Majesty, please send Wei Zheng, the Duke of Zheng Guo, to serve as the marching commander of the minister. In addition, there will be Duke Junji of the Lu State, and Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County, will assist the minister."
"allow!"
……

Not a day later, a [-]-strong army marched forward. At the gate of the city, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man looked at the long marching team and muttered something.

After waiting for half a day for the army to pass by, he hurried back to Chang'an and came to a mansion.

This mansion is where the Cui family of Boling now gathers for meetings, and the person in charge of daily affairs has also changed. It is no longer Cui Tongjian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, but the eldest grandson of the Cui family of Boling who came from Boling County. , Cui Qingyuan.

"My lord, Li Wenbin's army has already left Chang'an."
The middle-aged man came to Cui Qingyuan and reported: "The old slave can see clearly that there are indeed only [-] light cavalry and [-] infantry troops. There are no such strong cavalry."
Cui Qingyuan was sent by the head of the Cui family to replace Cui Tongjian - because of the food price, the Cui family's property in Chang'an was almost completely lost.

There were even usury creditors blocking Cui Tongjian's door to collect debts, which were treated like a joke in Chang'an City.

Naturally, the Cui family would not allow their hundreds of years of reputation to be ruined, and immediately asked Cui Tongjian to retire and return to his hometown, and then sent Cui Qingyuan, the leader of the younger generation of the family, to Chang'an.

This Cui Qingyuan was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he was extremely loved by the Patriarch of the Cui family. This time he was sent to Chang'an to give Cui Qingyuan more experience, so that he could inherit the Boling Cui family in the future.

Cui Qingyuan was a tall man with a gloomy face, he thought for a while after listening to the middle-aged man's words, and then waved him away.

"My lord, what shall we do?"
The servant of the Cui family who came with Cui Qingyuan asked: "This King of Qin is obviously Xiang Zhuang dancing sword, and he intends for Pei Gong. We must take precautions."
"Don't worry, my son has already thought about it." Cui Qingyuan dismissed this question, "Then Li Wenbin leading the army is also within my plan."
"Didn't he want to deal with our Cui family and the others? Well, let him see if he can get in and out of Boling County!"
"Send the news back to the family, and make more inquiries about Li Wenbin's army along the way!"
"Yes!"
"Every move of them must be under the control of this young master, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
At the same time, Li Wenbin was discussing with Wei Zheng, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others.

Wei Zheng's face was very ugly - he had already written the memorial for returning to his hometown, and he was waiting to hand it in, but he was dragged by Li Wenbin and became his marching commander again.

For this marching Sima, Wei Zheng didn't want to do anything, but he couldn't stop Li Wenbin from visiting the thatched cottage.

The first time he went to Wei Zheng's mansion, Wei Zheng said that he was unwell and could not see guests.

The second time, Li Wenbin simply brought Sun Simiao here, saying that he wanted to treat Wei Zheng.

This time Wei Zheng had no choice: he could not give Li Wenbin face, but who would dare not give Sun Simiao the face of the old god Sun?

If Wei Zheng dared to shut Sun Simiao out today, he would be impeached by the censor tomorrow, saying that Wei Zheng was proud of his merits, and even Sun Simiao would dismiss him.

When Sun Simiao met Wei Zheng, he naturally couldn't find any problems, and Wei Zheng simply told the truth.

He really couldn't afford it. The last time he followed Li Wenbin to Yanzhou, he was terrified for several days.

This time, if he followed him to Hebei to suppress the rebels, it might not cause any trouble.

Li Wenbin who said this was ashamed.

As a result, when he came for the third time, Li Wenbin made it clear: this time, there must be some moths.

But if Wei Gong is willing to be the marching Sima, this king must try his best to make such a moth smaller.

If Wei Gong refuses to go, if the king will kill Goryeo by hand, then don't blame the king for not saying it in advance.

In the end, what Wei Zheng said almost didn't have a heart attack, and finally he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and got on his boat.

But even if he became the marching commander, Wei Zheng would not give Li Wenbin any good looks.

But no matter what, he is also the commander of the marching army, and Li Wenbin is the general manager of the marching army. Even if he doesn't want to, he still has to say what should be said.

"Chairman, you only need to quell the rebellion this time, please don't do other things."
It's no wonder that Wei Zheng said that. On Li Wenbin's map, Cui's hometown in Boling was circled with a cinnabar pen. The meaning is self-evident.

Even a fool can see that the Boling Cui family is one of the targets Li Wenbin wants to deal with.

"Wei Gong, don't worry. This is just a preliminary plan."
Li Wenbin chuckled, and simply took out another map. When this map was taken out, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji, and Zhang Liang gasped.
