Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Let's go!" With the order from the King of Chu, the Chu army equipped with various sophisticated equipment set out from Yazhou Port and headed for the Goguryeo waters.

While His Royal Highness the King of Chu was still on his way to Goguryeo, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo broke out in full swing.

Because of the bonus of the emperor's personal leadership, the Tang army was unstoppable in the early days. In just half a month, Li Ji led his army to capture three cities of Goguryeo.

By the way, during this period, the Turkic generals Qibi Heli, Zhishishili, and Ashina She'er had all made great contributions.

In the following battles, Ashina Simo, who had been relatively inconspicuous, finally proved himself. He led the charge in an encounter and was shot by an arrow while bravely killing the enemy.

For this reason, Emperor Li II personally sucked the poisonous blood from his wound, but the good doctors in the army were helpless against his injuries.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Li II had no choice but to send someone to send him back to the rear for recuperation.

"Your Majesty, we are about to capture Liaodong, but whether to attack Anshi City or Jian'an City next is up to you to decide." In the imperial tent, Duke of Zhao Zhangsun Wuji was dressed in military uniform and spoke in a serious tone.

"Maogong, tell me what you think." Upon hearing this, Emperor Li II looked at Li Ji.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that we should attack Anshi first." Li Ji would naturally not be vague when it comes to military affairs: "Although the lord of Anshi City has not been very obedient to Quan Gaisuwen since he became the Mozhili of Goguryeo - Quan Gaisuwen even led his army to attack Anshi City before, but if we let Anshi City go now and attack Jian'an City, the lord of Anshi City will definitely lead his army to attack our supply line - by then, once the food and grass are cut off, it will become a big trouble.

Therefore, in my opinion, for the sake of safety, it is better for us to remove the nails one by one - even if the progress is a little slow, but this way, there will be no worries. "

"What Duke Yingguo said makes sense." After Li Ji finished speaking, Li Xiaogong, who was standing next to him, expressed his opinion in public: "Your Majesty, I also support attacking Anshi City first."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal." After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin also formally expressed his position.

As for Duke of E, Yuchi Jingde, after Cheng Yaojin expressed his opinion, he also said that they should attack Anshi City first.

As a result, the situation began to become one-sided, and everyone felt that Anshi City should be attacked first.

But even though everyone wanted to attack Anshi City first, His Majesty Li II did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, after a period of careful consideration, he agreed to this decision: "It is indeed a good idea to attack Anshi first. However, Anshi City is like a copper wall and an iron wall. If we want to capture this city right now, I am afraid we do not have enough people. Therefore..."

When His Majesty Li II said this, he suddenly stood up and came to the table: "Come here, all of you."

Upon seeing this, all the generals stepped forward and gathered around the table.

"To the north of Goguryeo, the only powerful people are Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen. If they form an alliance with the Mohe, their number will probably be several times that of ours. So I decided to besiege Anshi City without attacking it, and attract reinforcements from the north to come to the rescue. We are here..." His Majesty Li II said, his finger swiped across the map and stopped at a canyon south of Anshi City: "Li Ji!"

"Chen is here!"

"I will give you 20,000 troops. You will lie in ambush on the east side of this place and prepare to ambush the Goguryeo army that comes to rescue."

"only!"

"What power does Qibi have? He has lost his thinking power!" Emperor Li II issued orders again.

"The general is here!"

"You two, each leading 800 cavalrymen, block the road that the Goguryeo reinforcements must take in advance and lure them over. Can you do it?"

"I will not refuse death!"

"Changsun Wuji!"

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

"I will also give you 20,000 cavalry." Thanks to King Chu, the Tang Dynasty now has no shortage of war horses: "You will ambush on the hill opposite Li Ji first. After Ashina She'er and his men start to provoke Goguryeo's reinforcements, you must go around to the rear of the reinforcements as quickly as possible. Once Li Ji engages in a head-on confrontation with them, you must cut off their retreat as quickly as possible." When His Majesty Li II said this, he finally pointed at the ambush point on the map, then raised his head and swept his eyes over everyone around him: "As for me, I will personally lead the remaining 10,000 troops to guard the south. Once I launch a charge, everyone must appear on the battlefield. We don't have enough people, so we can only use the fastest speed and launch the most fierce offensive to expand the results and win this battle! Do you understand?!"

When the aura of His Majesty Li II, General Tiance, was fully unleashed, no one in the tent would doubt the outcome of this battle anymore.

With Your Majesty here, they will definitely win!

And just when Emperor Li II was preparing for a big move.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu's fleet has just arrived in Quanzhou after half a month's journey.

However, it still takes at least half a month to reach the Goguryeo waters from Quanzhou.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu also wanted to arrive as soon as possible, but he had to stay in Quanzhou for a day to get the necessary supplies.

"Zhenxuan, you said that the tyrant king is already old, why doesn't he admit his age?" At the Quanzhou dock, His Royal Highness the King of Chu leaned on the railing of the bow, looking at the civilians below who were constantly carrying food to the deck. He couldn't help but sighed helplessly: "I hope this is not a waste of time."

"Your Highness, how could that be?" Zhang Zhenxuan knew what his master was worried about: "You have almost never made any mistakes when it comes to war, so I believe that this time will be the same."

"Ah? Is that true?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not yet thought about this: "Zhenxuan, is this king really so wise?"

"Of course, these are the conclusions that Brother Xuan Ce came to after carefully studying all of your past battle records." Zhang Zhenxuan laughed softly and said, "Could it be possible that what Brother Xuan Ce said was false? He is your Li Si."

"Then you are still my Huo Guang." His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhenxuan, following me in my battles may not bring any good results. Speaking of which... I really have some -"

"——Your Highness, please stop." Zhang Zhenxuan did not wait for His Highness the King of Chu to finish his words, and stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing to speak: "I have always believed that Your Highness has great ambitions in your heart, and with your character, you will never treat anyone who follows you unfairly - but because of this, the road you will take in the future will definitely be full of difficulties. And I... I don't have any other wishes in this life, I just hope to accompany you to complete this difficult road, so that it can be regarded as the righteous result of this life, which is naturally a great good."
