Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's words immediately heightened the atmosphere, and everyone became enthusiastic. Li Shen was right, they would be promoted after returning.

Then he was assigned to be a general in each region,

Li Shen experienced the graduation season, stayed together from all over the world for four years, and then returned to all over the world.

We went to school together, we fought together, we went to brothels together, we shared stolen goods together, they had all the four pillars of life.

So how can the relationship not be deep? Many of the people Li Shen said were a little sad and more enthusiastic about the partners around them.

Cheng Yaojin looked at this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this young prince is really powerful, he is so skillful in provoking people's emotions.

It only took a few words to tame the unruly wild horses here. No wonder his son has been howling and full of energy in everything since he followed Queen Ji.

"Your Highness, I have something to ask of you." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shen while holding the wine.

"Old General, please speak." Li Shen replied politely.

"Although the generals in front of the battle are not good people, they are loyal to His Majesty and have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I hope the prince can be merciful and punish them a little to spare their lives."

"..."

Cheng Yaojin said it sincerely, but Li Shen's mind was filled with dark threads.

"Old General, is there any misunderstanding here? How can I, King He De, have the strength to punish the generals, let alone harm their lives?

Don't talk nonsense about what the old general said. "Li Shen quickly explained,

How can he describe himself as a great villain, a good person, a simple and kind-hearted young man?

"Alas~~~" Cheng Yaojin sighed when he saw Li Shen's attitude, and drank the wine in his hand.

Li Shen was too lazy to pay attention to him and ran to play with his peers. Everyone sang and danced for the bonfire. Cheng Chuliang even howled a few times.

Everyone was busy until midnight, but they didn't drink much because they had to march tomorrow.

On the second day, just as the army was packing their bags, Li Shen also prepared the bridge completion ceremony at the bridge. When the army arrived at the shore of the Liao River, Cheng Yaojin saw a bridge across the Liao River that he had never seen before. .

Li Shen stood at the end of the bridge, where red silk had been pulled up, as well as big red flowers and so on.

"Gong Lu, this is a bridge built by my king here. It doesn't have a name yet. Let me, Aye, give me a name when I get back. This is our first bridge in Goguryeo.

The army is crossing the bridge today. You and I should have a bridge-crossing ceremony. "

Li Shen said to Cheng Yaojin, then took a pair of scissors from the tray next to him and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin took the scissors and followed Li Shen to the bridge entrance. Then he followed Li Shen's example and cut the red silk with scissors.

There was applause and cheers all around, and the workers of Goguryeo were also very proud. They participated in building a bridge that had never been built before.

Looking at the flat bridge deck and the smooth railings on both sides, Cheng Yaojin stepped onto the bridge and stamped it with his feet.

"Don't worry, old general, this bridge is extremely strong and will not collapse. I spent a lot of money on it." Li Shen said to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin was relieved after hearing this and returned to the team and said to the messenger;

"Send the order, cross the bridge."

Following Cheng Yaojin's order, Li Shen also returned to his team. This time he could take his luxury carriage with him.

The team quickly passed the bridge without any problems. Only then did Cheng Yaojin feel relieved.

Cheng Yaojin rode across the bridge and couldn't help but admire Li Shen. This bridge can be said to be very practical for the Tang Dynasty. It was important for military and commerce.

After crossing the Liao River, there are large fields and villages ahead. It is the autumn harvest season in the north, and many people who planted early have begun to harvest.

Take advantage of the good weather to finish harvesting the mature crops.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I finally understand what the gentle strategy mentioned in the battle report means. Look at these people and see that our Tang army not only has no fear, but smiles on their faces.

There are also these large tracts of fertile land. If it remains as before and the people have no fertile land to cultivate, then even if we conquer this place,

The imperial court also has to provide a large amount of food to help them, otherwise the people will rebel if they don't have enough to eat. Now not only do they have food, but we also have the logistics for our army. "

Looking at the endless fertile fields, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but sigh,

There are many plains in the north. Cheng Yaojin rarely sees this kind of endless farmland except on the grasslands.

"The words of the old general are very kind. If we just give Goguryeo a warning, I think there is no harm in looting, even if it means killing a few more people, it doesn't matter.

But our Datang is going to capture Goguryeo this time. The land here, the people here, and everything here will belong to our country in the future.

Therefore, I think we should not destroy them. However much we destroy, the court will have to spend more to make up for it in the future.

Population is a very important strategic material for a country. We can't just let them starve to death. "

Li Shen began to instill his thoughts into Cheng Yaojin, and Cheng Yaojin nodded after hearing this. He felt that it was not that Li Ji and the others did not understand, but they were pretending not to understand for the sake of their own interests.

No wonder His Majesty is so angry, it's a matter of attitude.

As the army passed by, many Goguryeo people looked at the Tang Dynasty's backup army. They now recognized the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and the Tang Dynasty was helping them. The endless grain in front of them was the best proof.

In two days, 20 troops arrived outside Hengshan City. The Goguryeo soldiers guarding the city stood on the city wall and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The 20 people in front were already invincible, and the Tang Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands more troops. Who else in the world could resist.

The team set up camp at the branch of Liaoshui River, preparing to rest for half a day before crossing the river. It was very close to Li Chengqian's place.

You can almost reach it in half a day.

At night, Li Shen brought a group of dandy generals to the big tent, including Cheng Yaojin.

"I called you here today because I have something to tell you," Li Shen spoke first,

Hearing Li Shen's formality, everyone present became serious.

Just listen to Li Shen continue to say;

"Everyone must know that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition. I hold the position of military governor and am responsible for military laws and regulations. His Highness the Crown Prince has been adopting our new strategy, named Huairou Strategy.

The summary of the Huairou strategy is to treat the Goguryeo people as the common people of the Tang Dynasty. This may be a little different from your usual battles.

So I want to make it clear to you before we meet up, so that the team you lead will not make mistakes, and no one of us will be able to survive.

You must remember what I say next and convey it to everyone below, so as not to lose your life without realizing it.

"

This is a map of Goguryeo. If you save it, you will know where the place names I mentioned are and where to rest. Otherwise, how could you come up with it all by just thinking in your head?
