"See Your Majesty!" I saw Cheng Yanjin striding in, and then bowed to Li Shimin.

"Pingshen, Zhijie, why did you come to the palace late at night to see me?" Li Shimin smiled at this time and said, although among all the generals, Cheng Yanjin's military talent is not as good as Li Jing, Li Ji and others, but his loyalty is not comparable to others, which is why Li Shimin values him the most.

"Your Majesty, the minister has written his thoughts on attacking Goguryeo into a book during this time, and please take a look at it!" Cheng Yanjin said and took out a thick book from his sleeve, and then presented it to Li Shimin with both hands.

Hearing that Cheng Yanjin was here to send him a strategy to attack Goguryeo, Li Shimin did not show an expression of surprise, but looked at each other and smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, they had guessed that after Li Ji came back, Cheng Yanjin would definitely not be able to sit still, but they didn't expect him to come overnight.

At that moment, Li Shimin asked people to take the fold, and then opened it a little carelessly and took a look, originally with his understanding of Cheng Biting Jin, he thought that Cheng Biting Jin's strategy of attacking Goguryeo was nothing more than those few pieces, and there was still a little gap compared to Li Ji, but when he saw the content on the fold, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then looked at the whole fold carefully with a solemn face.

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was also one of the most famous commanders in the world, although he had not led troops for more than ten years, but his vision was still there, so when he saw Cheng Yanjin's detailed strategy of attacking Goguryeo, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Zhijie, you came up with the content of this recital yourself?" Although Li Shimin admired it in his heart, he couldn't help but ask in the end, after all, with his understanding of Cheng Yanjin, it seemed that such a bold idea was not something he could come up with.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the idea of crossing the sea was first put forward by the horse, and then he told Su Dingfang, and then Su Dingfang discussed with the minister whether this method was feasible, and it can be said that in the end, the three of us gathered the strength to have this book." Cheng Biting Jin didn't take credit, and directly told the truth, of course, after pulling Li Xiu, it could also increase his persuasiveness.

"I see, Li Xiu has a bold idea, Su Dingfang is an upstart in the army, and he is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and you are experienced, no wonder you can come up with such a solution!" Li Shimin couldn't help but praise at this time.

"Then Your Majesty thinks that the idea of the ministers is feasible?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Li Shimin's admiration, and he asked a little eagerly at the moment.

"Whether it's feasible or not is not up to me alone, but I have some new ideas from your compromise, so we might as well discuss it!" Li Shimin was also interested at this time, and immediately asked people to bring the map of Liaodong, and then spread it out on his bookcase, and began to discuss the possibility of cross-sea operations with Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin also actively expressed his opinions, after all, the twists and turns are limited, and many details cannot be completely written.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin discussed until the end of the third watch, this is still the eldest grandson Wuji is worried about Li Shimin's body, after all, he is old, and since the death of the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin's health has not been very good, in case Li Shimin falls ill before the war, I am afraid it will have a huge impact on morale, so he reminded Li Shimin many times to pay attention to rest.

Cheng Yanjin also knew that Li Shimin's health was not very good during this time, so he finally took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, which made Li Shimin put away his interest, and of course asked the eldest grandson Wuji to send Cheng Yanjin out of the Liangyi Hall on his behalf, but when the eldest grandson Wuji came back, he found that Li Shimin was still lying on the map studying the previous strategy.

"Your Majesty, is Lu Guogong's plan really feasible?" Eldest Sun Wuji also asked at this time, although he also heard something next to him just now, but after all, he is a civilian official, although he has led troops before, but after all, he can't compare with a military master like Li Shimin.

"Quite doable!" Li Shimin finally raised his head at this time, said with an admiring smile, and at the same time looked very relaxed, if he was only five points sure of attacking Goguryeo before, then now this grasp has increased to seven points.

"Then is Your Majesty ready to appoint Cheng Yanjin as the chief general?" Hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask again.

Hearing the appointment of the chief general, Li Shimin also showed a contemplative expression, and after a long while, he said again: "The selection of the chief general is very important, I still need to think about it, if you don't let him be the main general, with his temper, I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down." ”

When Li Shimin said in the end, he couldn't help but show a helpless expression, others thought that he would do whatever he wanted as an emperor, but who knew that when he was doing things, he needed to consider the influence of all aspects, and even the attitude of the courtiers should be taken into account, that is, he couldn't chill this heart, and he didn't hold the other too high, this feeling of having to calculate all the time can simply exhaust people to death.

In the next few days, Li Shimin once again gathered Li Jing and several other major generals, mainly to discuss the possibility of Cheng Biting Jin's cross-sea attack, but when Li Ji finished watching Cheng Biting Jin's recital, his face couldn't help but turn white, Li Xiu just mentioned it to him that day, and he didn't care about it at the time, but he didn't expect Cheng Biting Jin to write this method into the recital, and looking at his planning, it seems that this method is also very feasible.

Li Jing and others also had an in-depth discussion on this method of attacking across the sea, and supplemented the entire plan more completely, and the practicability was also higher, and Li Ji was also completely convinced, because compared with the frontal attack he proposed, although Cheng Yanjin's strategy increased some risks, but if it succeeded, it could reduce great casualties, if he was Li Shimin, I am afraid that he would choose this method in the end.

In the end, Li Shimin and a group of generals almost all agreed with Cheng Biting Jin's method, but although the strategy of attacking Goguryeo was decided, the candidate for the main general was still not decided, of course, Cheng Biting Jin, as the person who offered the strategy of attacking Goguryeo, would naturally occupy a great advantage, but as long as it was not until the last moment, then no one was sure.

In this case, on this day, Li Shimin once again summoned Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji into the palace for discussion, originally Li Xiu thought that Li Shimin was just looking for him to discuss the candidate for the main general, but what he never expected was that Li Shimin had another extremely important thing to announce.
