Chapter 225 I want to go there in person
"My uncle told you more than once that you should use your brain before doing anything. Once you do some things, you have to consider whether you can bear the consequences of this matter.
Today, you have touched the taboos of the entire royal family, so you will be responsible for any punishment you suffer.
Your Majesty has handed over the control of the entire Tang Dynasty to His Highness King Jin. No matter what decision His Highness makes, we can only support it!"
Changsun Wuji said calmly that when Li Chengqian had just become murderous of himself, he had completely given up on him and would not say a good thing for him again.
Changsun Wuji's words made Li Chengqian fall into an ice cave, and the power in his entire body was instantly drained.
He was defeated, completely failed, and no one was willing to help him, especially when he targeted Xiao Zhengtai so much, how could he let him go?
"Uncle Cheng, detain him in Dali Temple. After the father returns, he will make a decision."
Xiaozheng sighed heavily, he couldn't bear to use such a killer.
From beginning to end, he never regarded Li Chengqian as an opponent, and he knew that what his father did not want him to experience would happen to them again.
Cheng Yaojin was very surprised when he heard Xiao Zhengtai's words. Such a decision was not something that ordinary people could make. Li Chengqian had taken action against him more than once. It was amazing that he could still take the overall situation into consideration.
Xiao Zhengtai naturally did not want to spread such news. After suppressing Li Chengqian that day, he issued a ban order to everyone.
However, paper can never contain the fire. The matter is so big and so many people die, which makes many ministers suspicious.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian is now in a confinement period, and it is impossible for others to go to see him. Secondly, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji were secretly suppressing this matter, so Xiao Zhengtai didn't bother with this matter.
Before he knew it, Li Er had been in charge of the war for more than half a month, and the first battle report was finally passed on.
The army had arrived at the frontier a week ago and won the first battle, which led to the defeat of Goguryeo soldiers fleeing in a panic.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought one after another to break through several cities of Goguryeo, but an accident occurred when they attacked the Goguryeo fortress Gaimu.
Goguryeo is like a fish in water here, and its territory is advantageous and entangled with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, directly blocking the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the natural barriers on both sides and the Gaimu City that was so close to each other, Li Er fell into deep thought.
Due to the geographical location of Goguryeo, the weather is getting colder and colder. If we cannot break through here in the short term, once winter comes, they will suffer heavy losses.
So in order to avoid such a thing, he had to order a forced attack, but he never expected that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were invincible for several days would suffer heavy losses here.
Just as the Tang Dynasty soldiers bravely attacked the city, a large number of archers appeared on the walls of Gaimu City, and they launched an attack on them without mercy.
After several rounds of arrow rain, even though the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had shield defense, they suffered heavy losses. Even Li Er accidentally shot his right leg under the attack of arrow rain.
If it weren't for the death-threatening soldiers who were not afraid of death and blocked the fatal blow for Li Er at a critical moment, he might not have come back.
Seeing the contents of the battle report, Xiao Zhengtai's heart couldn't help but lift it up. Before he knew it, he had adapted to this sentence.
"The father encountered difficulties and needed support!"
Xiao Zhengta slowly closed the battle report and said in a serious tone.
"What's going on? What's the difficulty your Majesty is facing?"
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Cheng Yaojin and others' expressions changed suddenly.
They could hear his concerns in Xiao Zhengtai's tone, and could make Xiao Zhengtai say it was a difficult problem, which was definitely not a trivial matter.
"Your Majesty is actually injured. What do those soldiers do for food?"
When Cheng Yaojin and others read the secret report, they were furious and thunderous. His Majesty is the Lord of Nine Five, how could he be injured?
Especially on the battlefield at this time, the environment is still unusual and the medical conditions are quite poor, so they are really worried.
As early as the Sui Dynasty ruled, he went to Goguryeo many times, but each time he ended in failure. After so many years of tolerance, no one knew what kind of strength Goguryeo has now.
"Fortunately, Sun Simiao went to the battlefield with the army this time, so his father's health will not have any problems. It's just that the climate there, and it is impossible for his father to return to the battlefield in a short period of time."
Xiao Zhengtai also knew that they were worried about Li Er, so he explained softly that his father was injured, which was a very bad thing for the entire army.
The entire army is now without a leader, and even the injury of his father will affect the morale of the entire army. The longer the delay is, the more unfavorable it is to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty brought a lot of supplies this time. I believe there will be no problem if you persist for a while."
This expedition can be said to be a luxurious type, and it is an unprecedented sufficient food and salary, so keeping cold is naturally no problem.
"No! Uncle Cheng misunderstood me. The temperature difference between the north and the south is definitely not as easy as you imagined. It is getting closer and closer to winter.
There may be bitter frost in Goguryeo now. If it is a while, it may be snowing heavily to block the mountain. Although the father brought a lot of supplies to the expedition, it is definitely not enough for the entire Tang Dynasty soldiers to keep warm.
Therefore, we can only fight quickly in this war. If we drag on it, there will be no benefit to us.
My father is injured now and cannot command the battle at all. I can't conquer Goguryeo anymore. I am worried that the morale of the army will disperse, and all I can wait for is death.
Therefore, I will go on a war again and continue to complete the great cause that my father has not accomplished."
After analyzing the situation for them, Xiao Zhengtai made a decision directly.
"Your Highness, your Majesty has issued an imperial edict before leaving. You must not go!"
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, everyone's expressions changed, and Changsun Wuji hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.
"Yes, your Highness, if you go to Goguryeo in person, you will be resisting the order!"
Qin Qiong also comforted him, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhengtai to be so decisive.
"Your Highness, although Your Majesty in Goguryeo has encountered difficulties, I believe Your Majesty can solve it. If you are on the front line, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty and what will happen to the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Cheng Yaojin was also very depressed, but he would do his best to complete the tasks assigned to him by His Majesty.
"Dear uncles, my nephew's words just now are definitely not exaggeration, especially since my father is injured and stays there, it will not be any good for his body, so my nephew decided to go there in person. I personally command the war and let my father come back to take control of the power. I hope you all will be successful."
Xiao Zhengta respectfully bowed to the people. This was his true thought in his heart, without any disobedience.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what the court will do after you leave?"
After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Changsun Wuji's face relaxed a lot, and he felt very relieved. Xiao Zhengtai was countless times stronger than the prince.
