Seeing Su Cheng approaching, Xue Wanche quickly took two steps forward and said urgently: "My lord, I heard that your majesty has decided to lead the expedition in person?"
Su Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, your Majesty has issued an edict in front of the ministers at the court meeting today. Now, Silla is being attacked by Goguryeo, and your Majesty should send troops soon."
"The emperor is marching in person," Xue Wanche rubbed his hands and looked at Su Cheng excitedly, his eyes full of longing.
"If it was two years ago, even if he knew that the emperor would go on an expedition in person, he would not be so eager, because at that time he knew himself, and he was simply not qualified to compete with others for the opportunity to go on an expedition with the emperor and make achievements.
"But, it's different now. Su Cheng, a great nobleman, appreciates it.
In fact, his thoughts on making achievements and other achievements have faded away. He only hopes to fight on the battlefield and show off his power in front of the princess.
Looking at Xue Wanche's longing eyes, Su Cheng was still a little hairy and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I know you want to go out, don't worry."
Xue Wanche scratched his head and said: "Today is different from the past. Now that the emperor wants to lead the expedition himself, all the generals in the dynasty must want to go on the expedition. The competition is too fierce!"
Su Cheng couldn¡¯t help but nod after hearing this. Although the emperor wanted to lead a personal expedition with more generals, it would indeed be more intense.
"If Li Jing becomes the general manager of the march, then Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Yuchigong, Zhang Gongjin and other generals in the DPRK can just choose one to be the deputy general manager.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the emperor, might be followed by all the generals of the court, if the emperor himself was conducting the expedition.
How can Xue Wanche, Cheng Yaojin and others compete? Not to mention Cheng Yaojin and other princes, even if they compete with Niu Jinda and other county princes, they may not be able to compete.
Su Cheng comforted and said: "The competition has indeed become fiercer. I'm going to find out what your Majesty is saying. If it doesn't work, I can just go out with the Shenji Battalion. Our Shenji Battalion still lacks an experienced cavalry commander. It's just that my Shenji The battalion only has 5,000 cavalry, so I¡¯m really wronging you!¡±
Su Cheng¡¯s words are true. Although Xue Rengui is also a famous general, he is still young after all and has not experienced much battlefield experience.
As for Li Yun and the generals of the cavalry battalion, they have even been on the battlefield.
Xue Wanche is different. He is already a warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
Xue Wanche said excitedly after hearing this: "No grievance, no grievance, as long as I can go to the battlefield, and any personal guard leader who follows you will do."
Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "If you follow me, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to charge into the battle!"
Xue Wanche was slightly startled when he heard this and couldn't help but react. Su Cheng's strength was not to charge into battles. How could the emperor be willing to let Su Cheng charge into battles?
Xue Wanche couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. If Su Cheng was in danger, then he didn't say that he would definitely follow Su Cheng to protect Su Cheng, but Su Cheng was not in any danger, so why not just follow Su Cheng and watch others charge into battle? Isn't it the same as watching others drink while you swallow your saliva?
Seeing Xue Wanche, a fierce man with a red face and not knowing what to say, Su Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will go into the palace soon to find out what His Majesty says. No matter what, I will let you lead the cavalry battalion to send troops." .¡±
Xue Wanche hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I won't say anything else. If you have any orders, just let me know. I will fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire without even frowning!"
"I'll report back to the princess when I go back!" Xue Wanche went happily.
Silla is still being attacked, so the troops must be dispatched very quickly. Moreover, Li Shimin has been making preparations since last winter, so he must have a suspicion in his heart.
Su Cheng poked his head in front of the Liangyi Palace, and sure enough, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others had dispersed. It seemed that who would stay behind and who would go with the army had already been decided upon.
The little eunuch came in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Duke Rong is waiting outside the palace."
Li Shimin was in a good mood and was about to get up and go to the Zhengdian Palace. When he heard Su Cheng running towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. During the discussion, Su Cheng's figures were all gone. Now that the discussion is over, everyone is preparing for the expedition. Why did Su Cheng come here again?
"Let him in!"
Su Cheng walked into the hall and immediately saw Li Shimin leaning on his back with his legs crossed, looking very sultry, almost blowing a smoke ring with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, have the candidates for the generals been decided?" Su Cheng asked.
"It's settled. The three provinces have issued an edict." Li Shimin nodded and said, "What? Someone comes to you to complain?"
This Eastern Expedition was conducted by his imperial commander in person. Which general in the court did not want to accompany him on the expedition?
It is normal for someone to talk to Su Cheng about something, but at this speedIt's pretty fast.
Su Cheng smiled and said: "It's Princess Danyang's consort Xue Wanche. This guy gets very excited when he hears about the war."
Li Shimin guessed that it was also Xue Wanche. Ever since Su Cheng helped Xue Wanche and Danyang consummate their marriage, Xue Wanche regarded Su Cheng as a great benefactor.
However, Li Shimin was in a bit of a dilemma. It was true that Xue Wanche was a strong general, but there were many strong generals in the court. Moreover, this time he personally wanted to relive those glorious years with his old generals, but Xue Wanche was Li Jiancheng's people.
So Xue Wanche did not appear on the list of expeditions.
Now Su Cheng has come to help Xue Wanche, which makes him a little embarrassed. Su Cheng has to give him face. His long-cherished wish was made possible by Su Cheng, and it is rare for Su Cheng to speak. How can he refute Su Cheng's face?
However, it was difficult for Xue Wanche to arrange it, because Xue Wanche was also a general in the court and a consort.
Seeing Li Shimin¡¯s undisguised confusion, Su Cheng immediately understood that Xue Wanche was not on the list for the expedition.
Su Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Shenji Camp also has a cavalry battalion, but Shenji Camp does not have an experienced cavalry commander"
Li Shimin was moved after hearing this. Yes, the cavalry battalion in the Shenji Camp was newly built, and the generals inside were all newly selected young people with little battle experience.
Su Cheng certainly has no problem using firearms, but he has no experience in cavalry combat.
¡°Moreover, Xue Wanche must have no problem with Xue Wanche being Su Cheng¡¯s deputy, and he must be convinced by Su Cheng.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Forget it, let Xue Wanche be your deputy general and go out with the Shenji Battalion!"
Su Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Su Cheng entered the palace, the candidates who would accompany him on the expedition had already been decided.
Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others were listed. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu were ordered to assist the prince in supervising the country.
When the list of people accompanying them on the expedition was announced, it can be said that some people were happy and some were sad.
Those who were ordered to go on the expedition were of course happy to prepare, while those who were not able to go on the expedition could only regret it.
