Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 243 This is a battle of face!

"Ordinarily, such an arrogant person shouldn't be such a timid person!" Yi Yin looked at Liu Renyuan and said, "I look at Han Wei, and his ability is too poor!"

Liu Renyuan said: "Before, Han Wei was actually pretty good. I guess he became proud and arrogant, so that he despised the other party. Naturally, he suffered a big loss!"

"Is the emperor going to send me to Songzhou City?" Yi Yin looked at Liu Ren and asked.

Liu Renyuan said: "The general has already expected it. Then I will say it directly. Everyone recommends the general to go."

"Everyone recommends me?" Yi Yin felt a little proud.

Liu Renyuan nodded, and said: "The emperor said that you have a lot of business here, and originally wanted to send General Hou Junji to go, but Hou Junji suggested that you should go, otherwise, anyone who goes may lose the battle. Said, the most important thing is to lose face of Datang, that is the worst thing."

Yi Yin and Liu Renyuan chatted on the carriage, and arrived in the palace in a short while.

Everyone was waiting for Yi Yin's arrival.

Seeing Yi Yin coming in, Li Shimin stood up quickly.

"Yi Aiqing, it's good if you come, everyone is waiting for you!"

Yi Yin expressed impolitely, went straight to the front, and said, "Your Majesty, Guard Liu has already told me about the matter just now. As for the crisis in Songzhou this time, I am willing to lead troops there."

Li Shimin didn't expect Yi Yin to agree so simply this time.

It seems that his previous worries were unnecessary.

As long as Yi Yin agrees, it means that it will not affect his other affairs.

"General Yi is so straightforward, it's really admirable." Fang Xuanling thanked Yi Yin on behalf of the emperor.

Yi Yin smiled and said: "This kind of thing is our duty, but Tubo dares to yell at me, Tang Dynasty, how can it make him feel better?"

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "I also think so. What Tubo did this time is completely to compete with my Tang Dynasty for supremacy. How can my brilliant Tang Dynasty make him so rampant? My Tang Dynasty overlord Status, no one can shake it."

"That's right, no one can shake my Tang Dynasty's supremacy." Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, this time Tubo will still let him come and go."

Li Shimin said: "Songzhou City is an important city in the western part of our Tang Dynasty, and it must not fall into the hands of the Tubo people."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "I'm worried, the governor Han Wei has fallen now!"

Everyone is also worried about this issue.

Yi Yin heard the words and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, even if Han Wei has fallen, I will definitely take back Songzhou City."

Li Shimin said happily after hearing the words: "General Yi, what I mean is that not only Songzhou City, but also the Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Bailan and other ministries that have been conquered by Tubo, should let them return to our Tang Dynasty."

"Isn't this a very simple matter?" Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said, "Just roll Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo back to his Tubo, and then these will naturally belong to my Tang Dynasty!"

Everyone also understands this truth.

Li Shimin was very happy.

In fact, Li Shimin wouldn't be at ease if Yi Yin didn't go there.

This time Yi Yin was able to lead the troops there, Li Shimin naturally felt that victory was in sight, and his mood improved a lot.

"Since this is the case, General Yi, I will designate you as the chief commander of Dang Mi Dao's march, and lead the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to quickly go to Songzhou to solve the siege of Songzhou."

Yi Yin took the order easily.

At this time, Hou Junji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with General Yi."

Li Shimin heard the words and said: "Okay, with your cooperation with General Yi, I believe we can create another glory. I will appoint you as the deputy chief of the Dangmi Road Marching, and cooperate with Yi Yin to lead the troops to Songzhou to solve the siege of Songzhou."

Hou Junji accepted the order happily!

The last time they conquered Tuyuhun, Hou Junji and Yi Yin were also together.

However, at that time Li Jing, Li Daozong, and Duan Zhixuan all followed, but this time it was only Hou Junji.

Li Jing was no longer fit to fight on the battlefield.

When attacking Tuyuhun, Li Jing said that it might be his last battle.

Now that he is old, he only wants to stay at home with Hong Fu Nu.Everyone felt that General Li was a man of temperament, and this choice was normal.

Hou Junji then walked to Yi Yin's side and said, "General, I can fight side by side with you again this time. Thinking about it, I'm really excited!"

"Me too." Yi Yin looked at Hou Junji and said.

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "How many soldiers do you need to bring with you this time?"

Yi Yin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this time, just give me five thousand soldiers!"

Originally, five thousand soldiers were very few.

To deal with Tubo's 20 army, there are no tens of thousands!
"If there are more soldiers, the time on the road will be longer, so the chance of Songzhou falling will be greater." Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "5000 troops, take action on the road, it will be faster, and we can fight as soon as possible." Hurry to Songzhou City."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's good."

Yi Yin thought for a while, and then said: "In Songzhou City, how many soldiers are still stationed there?"

Li Shimin said: "Speaking less, it's not just five thousand."

Yi Yin said: "If that's the case, then there's no need to take the soldiers there, just use the soldiers from Songzhou City."

Hou Junji looked at Yi Yin, and said, "General, the two young generals, Zhishi Sili and Liu Jian, are very good. Do you want to take them to exercise this time?"

Yi Yin thought for a while, and said: "General Hou thinks it's okay, so let them go with them."

Hou Junji was obviously very happy when he heard this.

This is also the general that Hou Junji promoted to the younger generation.

People like Zhi Shi Si Li and Liu Jian lacked the training of actual combat outside.This time is a good opportunity to take them there and learn from Yi Yin.

And Hou Junji also knew that General Yi was also very willing to support his younger generation.

When he first went to Dangxiang Qiang, he took Qi Shanxing with him. Not long ago, Qi Shanxing achieved great success in suppressing the rebellion of the bureaucrats.

In short, following Yi Yin, you will learn a lot.

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin, and said: "This time you go, you must complete the task. This is a battle for my Tang Dynasty's face. You must not fail, you can only succeed!"

At this time, everyone knew how important the mission of this expedition was.

Songzhou is an important state city leading to the west. There are many small countries outside, and they are all watching!
If it fails this time, Datang's impression of the surrounding small countries will be greatly reduced, and the impact on Datang's conquest of these small countries will be very great.

As long as the battle of Songzhou is won, it will be easy to conquer those small countries in the future!
After thinking about this, everyone understood that the task of Yi Yin and Hou Junji this time was very difficult.

Moreover, this task is indeed not something that everyone can accomplish.

And at this time, everyone realized that the emperor wanted Yi Yin to go to Songzhou from the very beginning.
