The allusion that the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant is known to almost everyone, which refers to the fact that when a person's desires exceed the limits of his ability, then he is likely to fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen thought that they could easily swallow the 15,000-strong Tang army, and thought that they could control Li Er into their own hands before the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's ambush troops, and then they could see the stunned and surprised on the face of the Tang Emperor, and they could also laugh at the Tang Emperor's indiscretion.

But the two of them never imagined that the difference in strength between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty would be so big, and more than 100,000 people besieged 15,000 people and couldn't take it down after fighting for half a day, but instead trapped themselves.

150,000 people, a full 150,000 people. In the end, only 38,000 people were alive and intact, and these 38,000 people became the capital of Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's surrender.

"You two get up, you have to serve the court well, don't be half-hearted, you know?" After cleaning the battlefield and counting the battle damage, Li Er met with the two generals of the defeated army, and gave the 'two highs' official positions.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands!" Gao Yanshou replied in a deep voice.

"All right, you go down." Li Er nodded and waved his hand at the two, his expression was not very pleasant.

These two bastards surrendered too early, and when Li Er arrived at the battlefield with five thousand elites, the battle had almost come to an end, and there was nothing to fight except for the pursuit and clean-up work. The 'two highs' even made people kneel down on their knots solidly, putting on a look of waiting for the fall, so that Li Er had no place to be angry.

"Your Majesty, what about those Evil Warriors?" After the 'two highs' stepped aside, the eldest grandson Wuji came out and asked.

Of the 150,000 troops of Goguryeo this time, more than 10,000 were recruited from the Gazilla, and some of them died in a battle, and there were about 5,000 of them.

"Kill all the pits, not a single one will be left!" This is a war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and Li Er does not welcome any other forces to intervene in it, but since the Jin people are here, they will naturally have to pay the price.

"Whoa!" The eldest grandson Wuji agreed and retreated.

Li Er was unhappy, everyone could see it, but they didn't know why, although Comrade Li was not able to participate in the battle this time, but he would not lose his temper so much!

However, what these people didn't know was that Li Er's depression was not because of this ambush battle, nor because of this crusade.

The main thing is that he has just received the news that his old man is sick, and he is very sick, and it seems that it will be difficult to survive the next year.

This special thing is embarrassing, Lao Li Yuan is seriously ill, does Li Er want to go back? The matter of the Eastern Crusade is very important, but the Tang Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and Li Er always talked to his sons about 'benevolence', how could he continue to lead troops to fight in Goguryeo under such circumstances!

"Wuji, my father is seriously ill, and I need to return to Chang'an immediately, whose hands do you think is more suitable for the war on Goguryeo's side?" hastily ended the post-war deliberations, and Li Er left the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui behind.

"The Emperor is sick? Is this serious? Eldest Sun Wuji asked subconsciously. But soon he realized that he had asked a very stupid question, if it was not serious, how could Li Er even ignore the Eastern Crusade and have to return to Chang'an.

"It's serious, the medicine stone doesn't work!" However, Li Er didn't blame Changsun Wuji for anything, just lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Eastern Crusade is too important, and there are really no good candidates for the ministers." Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling and shook his head to say that he had no suitable candidate to preside over the Eastern Crusade.

And Fang Xuanling also shook his head at the same time, saying that he didn't know either.

They are all old foxes who have been practicing for many years, how can they not know that recommending others at this time is to put themselves on the edge of the cliff, in case they win the battle, it is better to say, if they lose the battle, they may not be impeached in the end.

And there are also some other questions about loyalty, as the so-called wealth is moving, Goguryeo is such a big territory, if the selection of people is not right, in the future, it will be knocked down here, in case there is another fuss about independence or something, then it is really lively to see.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to figure it out slowly!" The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said slowly: "It is not a good way to withdraw the army, only leave 100,000 troops in Goguryeo, and choose another minister to be in charge of this eastern crusade, and it is not a good way to encroach on his country a little bit." ”

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling can admit it, but his eldest grandson Wuji can't be cowardly, whether it is from the identity of Li's second uncle or the perspective of favored ministers, if he also pushes 625, I am afraid that he will be poked in the back.

"What do you think of letting Cheng Qian come?" Li Eryu was not shocked, and after saying a word, he frightened the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, looked at him dumbfounded, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"What? Do you think it's appropriate? Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, it's not a question of whether it's appropriate or not." Du Ruhui's face turned into a bun, and he struggled for a long time before he continued: "Too, the prince leads the troops, which is unprecedented!" ”

"The ancient does not mean that there will be no in the future, Cheng Qian is already an adult, he should let him know how terrible war is, otherwise that kid always likes to talk on paper, this is not what a qualified emperor should do." Li Er didn't know what the principle was, and he insisted that letting Li Chengqian come out to participate in a war, go through ups and downs, and see the world, would be very beneficial to his growth.

What can Du Ruhui say? What can Fang Xuanling say? I didn't see that the old fox of the eldest grandson Wuji had already moved the chair back a long way, so he almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into. The water here is too deep, and it is not for outsiders to participate at all, and whoever participates will die!

The prince led the troops, not to mention whether Li Chengqian dared to take on this errand, even if he did, he would be framed if he was not good, and it would be too easy to bear the charge of rebellion.

Li Er couldn't have thought of this? Of course, it is impossible to think of it.

So why did you want Li Chengqian to come out and lead the troops? Do you really want future generations to see the world? Still want to .......

Du Ruhui couldn't think about it anymore, his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Fang Xuanling, the Eastern Crusade was not over yet, was Datang going to make waves again?

Li Er waited for a while, and seeing that the three of them did not speak again, he nodded silently and said: "Since you are not opposed, then I will issue an order to recruit him over, and according to what Wuji said, give him 100,000 soldiers and horses, and see if he can bring me some unexpected surprises." ”
