This is the second time Han Yi watched Chen Shuozhen as he was heading for a dead end, but felt powerless. The only thing he could do was to ask the bodyguards of the Yuan family who went to Tuyuhun with him to go around to inquire, because they had seen Chen Shuozhen, but they could not investigate openly, so they could only investigate secretly, and they must be careful and pessimistically, this is looking for a needle in a haystack.

In fact, Han Yi and Chen Shuozhen have always had an unknown premonition about the ending of Chen Shuozhen. As Wu Meiniang said, Chen Shuozhen could not see the light of the sky again. It was too great that she offended her and could not be saved. She should not live in the world.

However, what Wu Meiniang didn't know was that Han Yi had been trying to help Chen Shuozhen break this fateful arrangement.

This puts his heart in favor, Wu Meiniang certainly wouldn't have thought that Han Yi would be so stupid, after all, Han Yi is now the prime minister.

Of course, Chen Shuozhen's departure will not only not stop Han Yi, but will instead make Han Yi go on more firmly, because he doesn't want to meet the second Chen Shuozhen again, and he doesn't want to let helplessness and sadness intertwined again.

Daxingshan Temple.

"Dad."

Cui Jieren came to Cui Pingzhong's courtyard.

"You are here, sit down." Cui Pingzhong stretched out his hand slightly.

Cui Jieren knelt down and sat opposite Cui Pingzhong, and said curiously: "I wonder why Dad is looking for a child?"

He was a little curious about this because Cui Pingzhong rarely took the initiative to look for him.

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you early in the morning."

Cui Jieren looked at Cui Pingzhong for no reason.

Cui Pingzhong said: "You have also seen the fate of the Taiwei. You think you can serve as prime minister for 30 years like the Taiwei, and have a strong power for a while."

Cui Jieren was slightly stunned and said, "Dad means to let the child give up his career?"

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "I just want to hear what you think."

Cui Jieren pondered slightly and said, "Dad saw the Taiwei, but the child saw Changsun Yan. You know Changsun Yan's character, but what's the result? Therefore, the child believes that the Taiwei ended up like this because he was born in the Changsun family and his sister was the queen. If he committed a serious crime from his father, the child would probably be implicated."

"You're right." Cui Pingzhong nodded with a smile and suddenly said, "Do you know why Han Yi can be in the temple when he is in a bad mood?"

Cui Jieren frowned slightly, a little embarrassed. Although he was arrogant, he was not arrogant. He never thought of denying this fact before him. The gap between him and Han Yi was indeed getting bigger and bigger, and he shook his head.

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "That's because Han Yi is good at capturing details that others ignore. Everyone can see the credits on the surface and will also grab them. If you want to compete for these credits, it will of course be very difficult. This may be related to Han Yi being a businessman, because merchants are born to be good at speculation, but this speculation is not a sidetrack, but a kind of wisdom. If you can capture those credits that are ignored, just like Han Yi, then you can also rise to the top and rise step by step."

Cui Jieren said in confusion: "The credit that has been ignored?"

Cui Pingzhong nodded with a smile and said, "How much chance do you think this army's expedition will have to win?"

This made Cui Jieren a little confused, but he had already been accustomed to his father's jumping way of thinking. After thinking carefully, he said: "The child felt that the chance of winning this time was very high. When Emperor Taizong went to the Eastern Expedition, Goguryeo suffered heavy losses. His Majesty has never given up harassing Goguryeo's partial army in recent years. Goguryeo's national strength is already weak. This time, our army has even emerged in full swing, but I am afraid that Goguryeo will be irresistible."

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "Dad thinks that the hope of successful troops this time is not high."

Cui Jieren was startled and said, "Why?"

"Because Goguryeo is on the east side."

"Please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know what Dad said." Cui Jieren said with a confused look on his face.

Cui Pingzhong said: "Now the eyes of the whole country are all focused on the Liaodong region. Why? Because this is a place where Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong have not completely conquered. If Your Majesty could conquer Goguryeo, that is, Your Majesty did what the late emperor had never done, which is of great significance to Your Majesty. For Sikong, he was once excluded because he suggested sending troops to Goguryeo. This was a rare defeat in his life. He must be very eager to destroy Goguryeo with his own hands and avenge his previous shame. As a result, they all focused on Goguryeo and ignored a very important enemy."

Cui Jieren opened his eyes and said, "Tubo."

"good!"

Cui Pingzhong said: "Tubo has always been eyeing the northwest region and Tuyuhun, because Tubo also understands that the reason why our Tang Dynasty took down these two places at all costs was to trap them on the plateau. Because if we send troops to Tubo, the loss would be very great, and even if we finally defeat Tubo, it would be difficult to obtain anything. Therefore, the Emperor Taizong chose to be in-laws with Tubo at the beginning, but this did not mean that our Tang Dynasty monarch really put aside his guard against Tubo. Why did the Emperor Taizong and His Majesty send troops to Tuyuhun several times was to surround Tubo. If Tubo wants to continue to survive, he must break the siege of our Tang Dynasty. When I was young, I met Lu Dongzan. This person was not only smart, ambitious, but also good at seizing opportunities.

What's even more terrifying is that he knows the customs and national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. I think he must know that Goguryeo is like a thorn in my Tang Dynasty. If you don't vomit, you will definitely send troops to Goguryeo. This is a god-given opportunity for him, and he must be waiting for this moment. Although my Tang Dynasty has strong military strength, it is actually not large in number, similar to Tubo. It is very difficult for us to defend with such a vast territory.

Now Your Majesty has transferred all the elite troops to the Liaodong region, and even transferred General Su Dingfang from the Anxi Grand Protectorate to Liaodong. It can be seen that Your Majesty and Sikong did not consider Tubo, and Tuyuhun was only about 10,000 soldiers on the other side were defending. This was originally arranged because there were heavy troops in Guanzhong area and the troops could be quickly sent to Tuyuhun. However, now the elite troops in Guanzhong will be transferred to Goguryeo, so both the northwest and Tuyuhun will become very empty. Lu Dongzan will definitely not miss this opportunity. If I had not expected it to be wrong, when our army was fighting with Goguryeo, Lu Dongzan would definitely concentrate all his troops and choose to attack on both sides, and seize the northwest and Tuyuhun at the same time.

In comparison, Goguryeo is just a piece of fat that is no longer threatening. Northwest and Tuyuhun are crucial to our Tang Dynasty. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely choose to withdraw his troops and transfer the main force to the Northwest and Tuyuhun to resist Tubo. Therefore, this time the troops will definitely return in vain, and even the gain will not be worth the loss."

Cui Jieren took a deep breath of air conditioning and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't Dad say it earlier?"

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "This is inevitable, because Goguryeo is in the east and Tubo is in the west. Although there is no contact between the two sides, they will definitely cooperate very well and restrain our Tang Dynasty. Because they all know that once the other party is destroyed, the remaining party will be the only enemy of our Tang Dynasty. Fighting on both sides is something that our Tang Dynasty must face. If it cannot be done, it may be the limit of our Tang Dynasty now, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough again."

Cui Jieren pondered for a moment and said, "Dad Daddy has a way to solve it?"

Cui Pingzhong said: "From the strength of our Tang Dynasty, if we draw elite troops to attack Goguryeo, it will be difficult to defend the Tubo attack anymore, and fighting on both sides is a taboo in military strategists. However, the military strategy is full of military strategists, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. You can suggest that Your Majesty arrange two ambushers in the northwest and Tuyuhun to wait for the Tubo army to invade, and use them to win by surprise. Although this move cannot be fatal, Lu Dongzan originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he did not expect that we would be prepared. He would be timid at that time, and he would be added to him.

With a suspicious personality, you will definitely not dare to invade rashly without knowing the reality of our army. This will win a precious time for our army. But you must wait until the army goes to war and then go to your Majesty alone. At that time, your Majesty will probably hand over this task to you, because Sikong and others have already gone to Chang'an, and there are no generals in the court, and you can arrange it and it can be well concealed. If you can win at that time, your Majesty will definitely promote you, because you have made great contributions in this battle."

Cui Jieren looked at Cui Pingzhong with a little surprise and suddenly said, "If the child remembers correctly, Dad has never trusted him so much and helped him."

Cui Pingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Just treat it as Dad's compensation to you."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, outside the East City Gate.

"I really don't know why you left this second year of junior high school?"

Xiao Wuyi, wrapped in a green cloak, stood in the snow, looking at Han Yi with reluctance.

Today, Han Yi was going to Laizhou, which could also be said to be going to Laizhou to take office. After all, he was the Liaodong ambassador, not the Guannei ambassador. In fact, he was still late. Qi Heli had already set off a few days ago, but Qi Heli and the others were a little worried because they didn't know where the food and grass were, and they had never set off so nervously, but they were even more afraid to cause trouble for Han Yi. Han Yi's words did leave a shadow on them, and they could only pray that Han Yi would be very compassionate and not play with them. But fortunately, they just went to feint attacks. If the army had not set off yet, the food and grass in the local prefectures and counties would be enough to last for some time.

Han Yi smiled and said, "You are stupid. There are few people on the second day of the Lunar New Year and there will be no traffic jams."

Xiao Wuyi chuckled and then said, "You are the smart ones."

Han Yi laughed and said, "When I'm not here, you, the mistress, have to manage your family well. This is a test of you."

Xiao Wuyi immediately said: "You can rest assured that I have won Feixue. I don't believe that we can't suppress her."

Han Yi blinked and said, "Why don't I wait and leave later."

Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "It's good too!"

Just then, I suddenly heard someone say, "Sikong is here."

Han Yi looked up and saw a carriage slowly coming.

Xiao Wuyi said tactfully: "I'm going to find Xiaopang."

After saying that, he walked towards Xiong Di and Ono who were surrounded by Si Meng and the others. Han Yi greeted Li Ji's carriage.

"Han Yi has met Sikong."

When Li Ji got off the carriage, Han Yi bowed and said, "I really didn't expect Sikong to come and see him off in person. Han Yi was really flattered."

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be flattered, I'm scared you too."

Han Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sikong was joking."

"It's not a joke." Li Ji said: "Now, who is not afraid of you in the army? If I had known this, I would not have recommended you as the grain escort officer at the time." As he said that, he looked around, afraid that someone would hear him. Now he decided not to let people know that he pushed Han Yi up.

I regret it, hum, see if you dare to insult me ​​in the future! Han Yi smiled and said, "Sikong Yan is so serious. No matter how stupid I am, I will not dare to act voluntarily in this matter."

Li Ji nodded and said, "If you can say this, I will feel a little relieved. However, I still have to ask you, are you sure?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "If I were not sure, how could I wait until now to set out? Sikong should rest assured that all this is in my control."

Li Ji nodded and said, "I believe in you this time."

Li Ji didn't explain anything to Han Yi because he couldn't explain. He had never seen Han Yi's tricks before, so he could only believe him.

After saying goodbye, Han Yi and the others were ready to set off. There were not many people, just Han Yi, Xiong Di, Ono, and a small number of imperial guards. Han Yi didn't look like Zhaoyao, and the three brothers rushed together, which was so relaxed and comfortable. However, before that, Han Yi had sent several groups of people, and Yang Sixun and only fifty students from the Military Academy had already set off before the New Year. He, the logistics manager, set off the latest, not to show off, but he might have to stay for a long time this time, and he had to explain a lot of things.

As Xiong, the richest coachman in the world today, threw a whip, the carriage slowly moved and moved forward.
