    The next day, Li Shimin was discussing the specific march route with Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and others. The purpose of his personal expedition was to solve Goryeo through a battle. At the worst, he wanted to drive Goryeo back.  to their territory.  Therefore, regarding the march route, Li Shimin discussed it with everyone again and again, trying to make it foolproof.  During this period, both Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng mentioned summoning Northern King Li Ke to the palace to listen to his opinions, but Li Shimin rejected both.  Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, the two men stopped mentioning the matter.

    After everyone discussed for nearly two hours, the marching route was determined.

    At this time, Wang De was seen walking quickly into Liangyi Hall.

    "Your Majesty, His Highness the Northern King would like to see you!" Wang Dehui reported.

    In the past, if anyone had an audience with Li Shimin under such circumstances, Wang De would probably not be willing to pass it on. After all, the emperor was discussing military and national affairs. If the border crossing was not six hundred miles away, who would have anything more important than military and national affairs?  But Li Ke was an exception, especially when Li Shimin refused to summon Li Ke when the ministers were discussing military affairs. Li Ke's request for an audience outside the palace at this time made Wang De active. He believed that Li Ke's arrival could solve more military affairs.  aspects of the problem.

    "You let him wait outside the palace, and then let him come in after the meeting has finished discussing military affairs!"

    However, Wang De never expected that the emperor's attitude was so cold, and he dared to look at himself coldly, with reproach in his eyes.  Wang De has lived in the palace for decades and has never experienced any kind of storms. How could he not know the reason why the emperor treated Bei Wang like this, so he could only bow down and retreat.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not let Li Ke see him until everyone had finished discussing the details of the food, grass and baggage, and everyone exited the Liangyi Hall one by one.

    "My son, please see your father!" Li Ke saluted Li Shimin respectfully.

    "What's the matter with you?" Li Shimin asked calmly.

    "Father, you want to personally conquer Goryeo and leave your subjects to stay in Chang'an. Your subjects will feel unfilial!" Li Ke cried in a low voice. He learned this trick from Li Zhi in history. Li Zhi used it in history.  This trick will never work against Li Shimin.

    "You -" Li Shimin was moved by Li Ke's filial piety and said in a gentle tone, "Why are you crying? The majestic Northern King of the Tang Dynasty, you are also a veteran on the battlefield, and you are still crying. Get up and say it!"

    ¡°Thank you, Father¡ª¡ª¡± Li Ke responded to Li Shimin¡¯s words, stood up and stood in front of him respectfully.

    "If you don't want to stay in Chang'an, what do you want to do?" Li Shimin asked.

    "Father, you are going north to Liaodong. The northwest has just experienced a war. The remaining Tibetan forces have not been wiped out. The people of the new Tubo country are unstable. The countries in the western region are also heavily guarded against the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that something will go wrong." Li Ke  Having said this, I glanced at Li Shimin and saw that he was listening attentively, so I said loudly, "I would like to request an order to patrol the northwest border!"

    "Well -" Li Shimin said calmly, "I have neglected the northwest issue. I went north to Liaodong to fight against Goryeo. The countries in the Western Regions and the remnants of Tubo will use this to cause trouble. We have to guard against this, so you can go to the northwest.  , so that I can feel more at ease when I go north to conquer Goryeo."

    "Thank you, father -" Li Ke thanked him. He didn't expect Li Shimin to agree so happily. He thought that since Li Shimin was already suspicious of him, he would definitely not let him leave Chang'an under such circumstances. If he wanted to leave, he would need to  After spending a lot of effort, Li Shimin unexpectedly agreed to his request immediately.

    "Ke'er, what do you think of your father's northern expedition to Korea?" Li Shimin suddenly asked Li Ke.

    Li Ke didn¡¯t expect that Li Shimin would suddenly ask him this question, and he didn¡¯t know what to say.  But he reacted very quickly, and after thinking for a while he replied, "Father, Goryeo has been invading our Chinese land since the Sui Dynasty. From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present day, although they ostensibly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, their ambitions are clearly revealed.  , always looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will never tolerate the existence of such a vassal country. Now that the Tang Dynasty has the ability to pacify Goryeo and seize the land lost in the past, we cannot leave this problem to our descendants  .¡±

    Li Ke¡¯s words were not very impassioned, but they still made Li Shimin very satisfied, and he nodded frequently.

    "Then tell me, how should I destroy Goryeo?" Li Shimin asked again.

    This problem really stumped Li Ke. In Li Ke¡¯s heart, it was not the time for the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goryeo.  Because, in his plan, the best time for Tang Dynasty to send troops was when Goryeo was in domestic chaos due to opium.  Therefore, he has not thought carefully about how to destroy Goryeo in one battle.  But today Li Shimin asked himself, but he couldn't answer freely.

    So, Li Ke started to frown and immediately thought about the situation in his mind.Li Shimin encountered problems when he conquered Goryeo in 2001. I wanted to give him some reminders to avoid making mistakes.

    Li Shimin saw Li Ke thinking hard and did not disturb him, but quietly waited for Li Ke.

    After a while, Li Ke replied, "Father, the first priority is food and baggage. Goryeo has demobilized a vast territory, and the Tang Dynasty is marching north to Goryeo. It must have been known in Goryeo. They did not send an envoy, which shows that they are ready to fight the Tang Dynasty."  Prepare, and in this case they will hold on to the wall and clear the country, and defend completely. If our army wants to win, the food and grass must keep up. It may be difficult to obtain food locally in Goryeo."

    "Second, we must not disperse our forces. My father is personally leading twenty armies to conquer Goryeo, but there are too many cities in Goryeo. If you want to capture a city, you must send troops to guard it. This will not only reduce the number of the main army, but also the number of captured cities.  The city needs to be defended and it will also give the Korean army a chance to counterattack." Li Ke continued.

    "If you don't defend the city, what do you mean?" Li Shimin asked.

    "Destroying the enemy is the first priority, and occupying the city is the second best!" Li Ke answered word for word.

    "Kill the prisoners?" Li Shimin's eyes shot out a cold light.

    "Father, sometimes you have to do this!" When Li Ke saw Li Shimin's cold gaze, he knew that he did not agree with his suggestion, but he still advised him.  Because he knew very well the ugly face of the Korean people. This is a country where if you beat them, they will surrender, and if you let them go, they will continue to beat you.  He did not want Li Shimin to make such a mistake and let his kindness cost the lives of Tang soldiers.

    "You continue talking -" Li Shimin said coldly, obviously not wanting to listen to Li Ke's words of advice.

    "Third, the uncle of Rencheng King has lived in Chang'an for a long time. My father can take him with him to sponsor military affairs!" Li Ke did not make any further suggestions, but recommended Rencheng King Li Daozong to Li Shimin.  He believed that the generals around Li Shimin were a bit too thin. In history, there were Li Ji and Li Daozong, but now Li Ji was guarding the gate, and Li Daozong was not among the generals Li Shimin had conquered Goryeo this time. Only then did Li Ke suggest.

    "Well - are you finished?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

    "My son, I've finished speaking!" Li Ke replied.

    "Then you go down! I will ask the military book to give you orders. When I leave Chang'an, you can go to the northwest!" Li Shimin sighed.

    "Nuo" Li Ke bowed and exited the Liangyi Hall.

    However, when he exited Liangyi Hall, he didn't know what the reason for Li Shimin's slight sigh was.

    Li Ke returned to his mansion, and in the evening, the transfer order from the Ministry of War was issued.

    Two days later, Li Shimin swore to conquer Goryeo in the north outside Chang'an City. In front of the three armies, he issued an edict and announced to the world, stating the five sure-fire ways to win this eastward campaign against Goryeo: "One is to attack the small with the big, and the other is to attack the small with the big."  To fight against disobedience with obedience, the third is to use order to overcome chaos, the fourth is to treat labor with ease, and the fifth is to respond to resentment with joy."

    When Li Shimin finished reading the edict, all the soldiers shouted long live.

    Immediately, Li Shimin began to lose morale again, "The old China in Liaodong has existed since the Wei and Zhou Dynasties, and has been ignored. Four of the Sui clan's disciples came back in mourning, killing countless good people in China.  I have been thinking about it for a long time.  Go to bed. I will avenge my children for China!"

    As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience shouted long live, their blood boiling and their fighting spirit high.

    Because the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer Goryeo three times, Goryeo built a temple with the bones of the Sui army's fallen soldiers.  In ancient wars, in order to show off their martial arts, the victors collected the corpses of their enemies and sealed the high tombs called "Jingguan". "After the body died, it was buried in Shanyang. The mountains are so majestic and the sky is so blue. There are trees in the mountains and the country has mourning.  . The soul comes back to look at the rivers and mountains." The cold wind blew, and the thin soil on the Jingguan was blown away, immediately revealing the dense white bones underneath. The so-called mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood is not just an adjective.  The loyal souls of hundreds of thousands of martyrs are constantly shouting and calling here.

    The fall of the Sui Dynasty was not far from the Zhenguan period, and the fathers of many military officers and soldiers died in Liaodong.

    How can the descendants of the Tang Dynasty forget this unforgettable hatred?

    Amid this burst of impassioned fighting spirit, Li Shimin's carriage slowly left Chang'an City.

    PS: I don¡¯t want to say too much. Since I have promised to update three times on the 26th, I must do it.  However, there was a problem with the update during the day, and Lao San could only code at night to make up for the chapters he had promised.  I hope everyone will continue to support "Back to Tang" and Lao San.
