Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1066
Li Ji didn't ask about Goguryeo's five thousand soldiers and horses for no reason.

After all, this matter was too strange, and Li Qinzai's work was not perfect, and some gossip in the army had already reached Li Ji's ears.

In ancient times, killing and surrendering was a felony, not only inhumane, but also condemned by heaven. According to superstition, it would hurt the luck of the country, so from ancient times to the present, killing and surrendering has always been deeply tabooed by emperors and generals.

Li Qinzai killed the [-] soldiers, the high-sounding reason was of course treason, but regardless of whether the rebellion was true or not, the [-] soldiers were actually surrenders, and Li Qinzai did kill them.

This matter can be big or small, Li Ji is a little worried, so he must ask clearly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson doesn't think it's that serious. Whether the five thousand soldiers are rebellious or not, they are all dead. The grandson has the final say. If anyone doesn't believe it, please ask a wise priest to do it. These 5000 people are taken from the ground." Call out the soul and confront your grandson?"

Li Ji glanced at him, and scolded with a smile: "You're talking nonsense again, Taoist priests may not have the skills to summon souls, but it's not difficult to send you down to confront them."

Li Qinzai's eyes widened in surprise: "Grandpa, when did you become so skinny..."

Li Ji glanced at him, and said: "The old man received the letter from the family. You can't hide the fact that you killed five thousand Goguryeo troops. There are already some rumors in Chang'an City. It is said that the supervisory censor has impeached you. If your majesty can't bear it If you hold back the pressure, you may be transferred back to Chang'an."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and said, "It's such a big deal, is it necessary to mobilize the teachers?"

"If there are enemies in the court who want to deal with you, it is a serious crime for you to fart, don't you understand?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "Grandson really wants to go back to Chang'an. Whoever wants to deal with me will weigh me in person."

Li Ji shook his head: "You can't go back for the time being, just stay in the army honestly, the old man will write a memorial and send it back to Chang'an to defend you. The British public brand is still very loud, and besides, the old man is in command of the three armies, so we have to fight something Your Majesty will not add trouble to this old man in the rear in the battle of Guan Guoyun."

Li Qinzai was noncommittal.

Of course he believed that Li Zhi was not that confused. The emperor had a lot of minor problems and his private life was messy, but he was always sober and wise in matters of right and wrong.

Especially for such a major event as the Eastern Expedition, it was his lifelong dream, and now that the dream was about to come true, he would never allow anyone to have side effects.

The grandparents and grandchildren finished talking about business, but Li Qinzai didn't intend to leave.

When relatives meet, it is somewhat impolite to put on a businesslike face.

Only then did Li Qinzai take a serious look at Li Ji's appearance.

After not seeing him for several months, he found that Li Ji had aged a lot, and his face had many age spots. His hair, which was half black and half white before, was basically all white now.

The morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, he is devoting himself to the country day and night. This national war is exhausting the old man's blood.

Li Qinzai's mood was inexplicably heavy. He knew that this was the end of Li Ji's life, but he still wanted to prolong Li Ji's life for a few more years.

"Grandpa, we have already controlled half of Goguryeo's land. The next battle is not too difficult. Grandpa, how about sitting in the rear and planning a strategy. How about grandson helping you lead the army in this battle?" Li Qinzai asked tentatively.

Li Ji frowned: "The old man is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, why should the army be handed over to you to command?"

Li Qinzai spread his hands and said innocently: "Isn't this obvious? My grandson's wings are hard..."

Li Ji was startled, and subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife on his waist with his right hand.

Li Qinzai hurriedly laughed with him: "Grandpa calm down, grandson is getting a little naughty..."

"You're not being naughty, you're trying to die. Is there anything else? Get out of here." Li Ji waved his hands in disgust as if chasing flies.

Li Qinzai resigned awkwardly.

Originally, I wanted to have a meal in Li Ji's handsome tent to see how the old man's food is, but it seems that he is not very popular now...

Besides, with Li Ji's temperament of commanding the army, most of his meals are exactly the same as ordinary soldiers. It's not like Li Qinzai biting a few mouthfuls of wild vegetable dumplings in front of the soldiers like a play, Li Ji really eats it, and eats it every day.

Back at his camp, Li Qinzai still had Li Ji's gray hair in his mind, and felt uncomfortable, but he really didn't know how to help him worry.

Li Ji is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and all the military orders of the Eastern Expedition Army came from him alone. This responsibility cannot be borne by anyone, and his grandson is no exception.

Before returning to the commander's tent, Wang Fangyi greeted him and reported the matters after setting up camp.

Food and grass were temporarily abundant. As the Tang army took control of the northern part of Goguryeo, the logistics supply line of the Tang army was also smooth. The food and grass were transported from Yingzhou in Datang to Liaodong City without hindrance.

Li Qinzai's troops have fought several battles this month. The scale is not large, but there are also some losses in the soldiers. After counting the number, there are about 5000 Tang troops left, and the horses are not damaged. After entering Goguryeo, cavalry was rarely used.

As for the two miscellaneous armies, there were still more than [-] soldiers left in Jin Yuxin's Silla army. After being severely taught by Li Qinzai, Jin Yuxin was very well-behaved, and the Silla army under his command never dared to avoid the battle.

The Silla army basically participated in the few small battles that swept across the east of Goguryeo. The battle was not too brave, but it barely looked like an army killing the enemy.

And the tens of thousands of young and strong in the country of Wa are a little bit stretched, and 4 people were brought out from the country of Wa. After a few wars, the [-] young and strong lost about [-].

Li Qinzai felt a little distressed. This is all future labor, and the loss is a bit too much.

After serious consideration, Li Qinzai felt that it would not be appropriate to bring the [-] Japanese with him in the next battle.

Their combat power is too scumbag, and the morale of the army is slack. Every time they fight, they are used as cannon fodder. Burn cement.

There is no need to bring three thousand Xinluo troops. People like Jin Yuxin bully the weak and fear the strong, but it is hard to say whether they will turn against each other.

Li Qinzai has always been very vigilant against people who are not of our own race. He doesn't want to keep hidden dangers like Jin Yuxin by his side, so he might as well throw them to Li Ji.

With Li Ji's status, unless Jin Yuxin wanted to be exterminated, he would never dare to play tricks under Li Ji's nose.

After unloading these two motley troops, Li Qinzai suddenly felt a lot easier.

In the future, he would no longer have to fight against the generals under his command. Every time a military order was issued, he would always scare and beat Jin Yuxin, but he couldn't really kill him. Li Qinzai also felt quite boring.

After telling Wang Fangyi of his decision, Wang Fangyi also deeply agreed and arranged to go happily.

Li Qinzai returned to the handsome tent, but saw a person standing outside the handsome tent, to be precise, it was a wall of flesh.

"Greetings Li Shuai." Rouqiang spoke, with a low voice, like ringing a broken copper bell.

"Zheng Sanlang?" Li Qinzai asked strangely, "What are you doing here? Doesn't Modao Camp practice?"

Zheng Sanlang said aggrievedly: "The villain was kicked out by Modaoying."
