Linshuo Palace.

After Li Yuanai was granted the title of the commissar of the transportation, he did not immediately accept the appointment, but led Luo Tong, Liu Boying and a group of Qianniu Guards to Jicheng.

Jicheng is now crowded with all kinds of warriors gathered in the city.

Walking along the way, looking around, they were almost all heroes holding big guns and suffocations.

Li Yuanai was not familiar with Jicheng, so he asked Liu Boying to ask passers-by and found a luxurious restaurant.

Liu Boying asked for the way, but they were overcrowded when they went to the two restaurants.

I had no choice but to find a nearby place, and found a better place on the second floor. I ordered a few signature dishes, ordered soju and sat down on the opposite seat.

Liu Boying can be regarded as a turbulent person and shouted carelessly: "This person is so beautiful."

Li Yuanai said proudly: "Goguryeo and our people are as deep as the sea of ​​hatred. His Majesty is different from Emperor Yang Guang, who show off his national prestige excessively and strictly controls the conscription personnel to slow down the pressure on the logistics. This has led to many warriors seeking to join the army but failing to get it and gather in this Jicheng city."

It is said that Yang Guang and Li Shimin are very similar.

But that's the biggest difference between them.

Yang Guang was too radical and knew himself, but did not know how to be polite to the people. However, Li Shimin was able to understand the sufferings of the people and knew how to relieve the people's strength.

When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, the world was terrified and rebelled. The people even interrupted their hands and feet, making themselves disabled. They also laughed at the fact that they were blessed to avoid military service and corvee service.

Li Shimin issued an edict to recruit troops, which was something the world should follow. Those who were willing to go to war would be able to recruit hundreds of people and hundreds of thousands of people. It was said that he had collected enough amounts of the war in an instant.

There were no selected soldiers in the palace and were even willing to go there on their own.

Especially those confident families of generals and families, they requested to bring their entourages with them to the army without any support from the court.

Those brave men who were unconfident rushed to Jicheng to seek a way out.

This desire to fight is so exciting that the whole country is in full swing.

This is the centripetal force possessed by the Tang Dynasty, the feeling of sharing honor and disgrace between the people and the country.

A shout suddenly came from outside the house: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, this battle is the saint's visit. In this battle, I must fight to fight the enemy, take back Liaodong, seize a few more heads, and make a Jingguan to have fun."

As he finished speaking, there were even more shouts outside the house.

Luo Tong and Liu Boying showed a little envy in his eyes.

Li Yuanai knew it clearly: "Don't be frustrated, know why you were invited to drink here? It was for you to practice..."

Luo Tong and Liu Boying looked surprised.

Li Yuanai said: "I don't understand your thoughts yet? I have told the prince that I don't need so many people around me, you can be transferred at any time. Looking back, I will make an excitement from General Li Ji: I have learned the inside story. This time, Li Ji is a former general of the army. If you transfer you to his command, you may be able to become a vanguard army."

Luo Tong and Liu Boying were very happy one after another.

Liu Boying looked excited.

Luo Tong then showed his confusion on his face, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

The former was because of his admiration for Li Yuanai's football skills and was willing to do things in his hands. During his time in governing the canal, he worked hard and had no other words. However, the conquest of Goguryeo was a battlefield where all the aspiring generals and officials of the Martial dynasty dreamed of, and Liu Boying was naturally more willing to participate.

Luo Tong is different. After years of getting along, they are both masters and friends. Li Yuanai is still very kind to him. Now that he is leaving, he is certainly the ambition, but his loyalty in his heart is a dilemma.

Li Yuanai waved his hand to stop Luo Tong and said, "Now I am different from the past. More than 30 guards are all Qianniu Guards with extraordinary martial arts. Even without you Luo Tong, I believe that there will be Zhang Tong and Wang Tong, so there will be no need to worry about me at all. Duke Hu Qin Qiong is the most powerful general of my Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty told me personally. In the past, when the two armies were in a fight, he was unhappy when he saw the enemy general showing off his power, so Duke Hu broke into the enemy camp alone and took the head of the enemy general among the thousands of troops and returned. This kind of bravery, only a few people can compete with him in ancient and modern times. His descendants have no talent to inherit his martial arts skills, but you only get the true master of his gunshot skills. If you don't use it, kill the enemy and be a guard under my command? Wouldn't that be useless and make a laughing joke?"

"What's more..." He said with a solemn look: "Goguryeo is my feud. I am not good at learning skills, and it's just embarrassing to go to battle. You can help me kill a few more thieves and vent my anger for me, and it's not in vain that we will meet each other."

In fact, Goguryeo was not qualified to call it "family enemies" from the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks could be regarded as one.

But Yang Guang was defeated in the battle against Goguryeo, with twenty-four regular corpses, more than 1.3 million soldiers and nearly five million logistics. These are all actual numbers, not exaggerations to scare people. In the era of cold weapons, this large-scale war was one of the past and present. As a result, even a Liaodong city was not defeated. Not only was it impossible to attack the city, but the navy army that came to protect the other side, only a few thousand soldiers survived. The nine armies commanded by Yuwen Shu defeated the entire army, and only more than two thousand fled back to Liaodong.

Goguryeo arrogantly cut off the heads of the Sui army soldiers and piled them up into Jingguan to promote the prestige of the country.

Such a great humiliation cannot be forgotten even if the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.

Although in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo destroyed Jingguan due to Li Shimin's tyranny. However, only blood can cleanse this shame.

Luo Tong was no longer confused and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your highness, Tong will never embarrass Your Highness."

Liu Boying seemed to feel that he agreed too readily and was a little embarrassed, and echoed: "Boying also wants to kill a few more Goguryeo pigs for His Highness."

"Okay!" Li Yuanai raised his glass and said, "I wish you to go to Goguryeo this time, keep your name in history, and return in triumph."

Luo Tong and Liu Boying raised their wine glasses and said, "Thank you for your good words."

March 15, the 19th year of Zhenguan.

This day was the day Li Shimin decided to go to war.

Li Yuanai found Li Zhi early in the morning and planned to accompany him to send Li Shimin to the war.

Li Zhi was wearing clothes under Ji Yongji's service.

Only Li Yuanai can enter while Li Zhi is still dressing up.

"I have met the prince, please protect me!"

Li Yuanai saluted Li Zhi and greeted Ji Yongji.

Li Zhi gave him a look and asked him to do whatever he wanted.

Ji Feng smiled and replied: "How dare the old woman accept this great gift from Your Highness."

Li Yuanai joked: "Pay is different from the past. You have watched me grow up and will take care of you in the future."

Although this is a joke, it is not a false statement.

Since Empress Changsun passed away, Li Shimin has not appointed an empress. Those who are in charge of the harem are either one of the four concubines appointed by Li Shimin or Li Chengqian's crown princess.

However, after Li Chengqian was demoted and Li Zhi became the crown prince, he did not give his crown princess the corresponding power.

Now that Li Shimin is expeditioning in the east, Li Zhi is supervising the country. According to the principle, the helmsman of the harem should be the crown princess. However, Li Zhi directly appointed his own security guard, Ji Sheng, to take charge of the harem.

In other words, the nanny in front of him who took care of Li Zhi's daily life is now the most powerful woman in the dynasty harem.

During this Eastern Expedition, Ma Zhou reminded Li Zhi that even if Li Shimin went east, he would need someone to serve him.

Li Zhi immediately arranged for Ji Yongji to select concubines from the harem and personally sent them to Jicheng for service.

Ji Sheng kept saying, "The prince will be fine soon. There is the crystal dragon and phoenix cake I made myself there. Your Highness will try it."

Li Yuanai walked over in two steps and said, "I learned yesterday that the Baofu was here. I didn't have breakfast this morning, so I'm just waiting to eat."

Li Zhi said anxiously: "Save me some, please hurry up, you are my guardian, and you are too fond of him."

Li Yuanai said while stuffing dragon and phoenix cake into his mouth: "The prince is not in a hurry, there are so many."

Seeing Li Zhi a little angry, Li Yuanai smiled bluntly.

The two of them had some breakfast and went to see Li Shimin together.

Before Li Zhi left, he was holding a robe in his hand and said strangely: "It's not cold outside, what should I do if I take another robe?"

Li Zhi said: "This is for the emperor, you can take it first..."

He gave it to Li Yuanai and walked quickly.

When it was almost time for Li Shimin's residence, Li Zhi snatched the robe from Li Yuanai and went to the palace to pay homage.

"Have you met my father!"

"See Your Majesty!"

In formal occasions, Li Yuanai still calls His Majesty Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin was already wearing a golden armor.

Originally, Mingguang Armor was one of the most handsome armors in ancient times. Li Shimin's set was specially made, and this Tian Khan was a rare hero, so the two were more majestic.

It was so majestic that Li Yuanai was drooling.

Li Shimin saw the robe in Li Zhi's hand and hurriedly said, "Zhi Nu is weak, please put on your clothes quickly."

Li Zhi raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, this is my son's personal instructions to make a robe for the father. I will give you one, one on your child, exactly the same."

Li Shimin was very moved when he heard this. He took off the robe he wore, left it aside, stepped forward to take the robe he gave to Li Zhi and put it on his body.

Li Yuanai peeked at the side, and the father and son were a pair, each with a yellow robe, which looked very conspicuous.

Li Shimin happily turned around and said, "The father and the monk made an agreement that I would wear this robe on my body today and return to me in the future."

Li Yuanai was stunned when she heard this. Is it true?

Then, Li Zhi's words came to his ears: "The child is wearing it, waiting for his father to return triumphantly."

Li Yuanai suddenly smelled a strong sour smell. This "love" show and the dog food in the TV series are not as good as the father and son.

Wearing the battle robe given by his son, Li Shimin was even more confident, jumping on horseback and urging his troops, leading an army of 100,000 land and water to start heading towards Liaodong.

Li Yuanai kept following Li Zhi to send Li Shimin out of the city.

When Li Shimin's figure completely disappeared on the horizon, Li Zhi turned his horse's head and prepared to turn back.

Li Yuanai asked what he had been holding back for a long time: "The prince really wants to wear it until His Majesty returns?"

Li Zhi asked back: "Or otherwise?"

Li Yuanai didn't say anything for a moment. After a while, he said softly: "Isn't it smelly?"
