It stands to reason that with the knowledge of Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, they shouldn't be so surprised when they see anything.

It's just that the map Li Wenbin took out is too shocking.

The scope of this map is extremely large, not only including the entire Hebei Road, but even the northern regions, including the entire Korean Peninsula.

"Big... Chief Manager, don't you want to..."
Zhang Liang's voice trembled a little. He never imagined that he just followed Li Wenbin to quell an insignificant rebellion, but he was very likely to become a great hero in expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"No, no, you misunderstood the manager." Li Wenbin chuckled, "It's just a random drawing, and it can't be counted."
If he admitted it openly, Wei Zheng would have doubts instead, but hearing Li Wenbin say this at this time proved his thinking even more.

"No, sir, I will never agree to this."
Old Wei Zheng roared: "In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops but failed to take down Goryeo. Now our army has a total of 3 people. How can we swallow Goryeo in one gulp?"
"In the future, if the chief executive wants to go on an expedition to Korea, the old minister is willing to lead the horse and ride for the chief executive. It's just that now, it's not the time at all!"
Naturally, what Wei Zheng said had his reasons—if he wanted to harass Goryeo, 2 or [-] people would be enough; but if he wanted to swallow the whole of Goryeo and bring it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, at least hundreds of thousands of troops would be needed. Only then is it possible.

And looking at Li Wenbin's appearance now, it is clear that he wants to use all his strength to completely defeat Goryeo, who has been against the Central Plains Dynasty from time to time, so that he has no chance of turning over.

Wei Zheng is also a Han Chinese, and he is also eager for credit. The last time he went to Yanzhou with Li Wenbin, although he was only sitting in the rear, the credit was definitely not small.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, Su Dingfang and the two hundred riders each received rewards, and even Wei Zheng added the honorary titles of Shiyi and Taifu.

If he can really make great achievements with Li Wenbin again, I am afraid that the title of Duke Zheng will be added with the word hereditary!

It is such a great honor for Zheng Guogong, who is hereditary and unreplaced, that he can be said to have died with the country-as long as the Tang Dynasty exists, his Wei family will never fall down.

Wei Zheng naturally wanted this credit, but no matter how he looked at it, it was really unrealistic to swallow Korea in one gulp!

You have only brought [-] light cavalry and [-] infantry. How does this look like you are going to expand your territory?

Not only Wei Zheng, but also Hou Junji and Zhang Liang thought so.

The two of them said that they have seen all kinds of scenes over the years, but they have never seen anyone with 2 people dare to say they want to swallow Korea.

Li Wenbin looked at the three of them with a smile. You said one sentence, and I said one sentence without saying a word.

Hou Junji looked at his expression, and his heart moved: "Chairman, could it be that you already have some plan to make it work?"
In his heart, this king of Qin can already be equated with omnipotence.

Since he was so confident, he might have already prepared his trump card.

"Mr. Lu, I don't dare to say anything about tactics, but I got some news recently, it's about Gaoli."
"Prince Goryeo is very resourceful. He has emptied the King of Goryeo and controlled the government of Goryeo."
"And this person is very ambitious. Recently, he started to build strong cities such as Dawang City in Liaodong. His purpose is self-evident!"
This is the first time Wei Zheng and the others have heard of such a thing: "Could it be that they want to start a war with my Tang Dynasty?"
"Well... I don't necessarily dare to go to war, but it's a matter of time for my Tang Dynasty to go to Korea. If I really let them build these powerful cities, it will take a lot of effort for our army to attack in the future. "
Originally, in history, such a thing would happen only after Yuan Gai Suwen usurped power more than ten years later.

It's just that the current history has become a mess because of the existence of Li Wenbin, so I don't know which butterfly's wings waved, so that Goryeo entered the stage of preparing for war with the Tang Dynasty more than ten years in advance.

In history, Li Shimin once attacked several fortified cities such as Dawangcheng, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, suffered heavy losses but had no results, and finally had to retreat.

And now Li Wenbin is thinking about taking these cities away before they are completed.

Even if they can't really win Goryeo, even if they can hurt their vitality, it's worth it.

The three of Wei Zheng looked at each other. They could hear the strong confidence in Li Wenbin's words. It seemed that the Koryo army had become vulnerable at this time. With just a slight push, those fortified cities under construction would collapse. Same.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but asked worriedly: "But our army is too small, how can we destroy these cities?"
"And there is no heavy siege equipment, if you only rely on temporary production, this power..."
Wei Zheng's worries were not unreasonable, and Hou Junji and Zhang Liang also had the same opinion.

And Li Wenbin seemed to have expected him to say this a long time ago, and just smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, my Lord Wei. Of course I have a trump card in my hand, but it's not the time to show it yet."
"When the time comes, I will make the three of you believe that we can destroy the city, and even take down the entire Goryeo!"
"Now I just want to ask, do you three have the courage to go crazy with me once?"
After a while of silence, Zhang Liang spoke first:
"For the sake of future generations, in order to be famous in history, the last general is willing!"
Zhang Liang opened his mouth, it was much easier to handle, and Hou Junji also expressed his willingness to support Li Wenbin's idea.

Both of them expressed their views, and Wei Zheng was silent for a long time before he said: "Chief Executive, it's not that I don't want to agree to your plan. But in case something happens, you must obey my orders and withdraw troops in time."
Wei Zheng was also afraid that if something went wrong and Li Wenbin would take the lead, he would rather die than withdraw for the sake of his military merits, so he had to make an agreement with him in advance.

"Don't worry, Duke Wei. This will never happen!"
"Okay, that minister is willing to support the chief executive!"
"Okay, let the gentleman say a word, let the horse whip!"
Li Wenbin raised his arms and high-fived Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang in turn.

After a few days, Li Wenbin led an army into Boling County.

As soon as they entered here, they immediately felt a difference.

In other places, the local officials were extremely courteous to the army, for fear of making Li Wenbin, the marching chief, dissatisfied.

But the officials of Boling County seem to have made an agreement, and their attitude is very cold.
