Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

A study room filled with the fragrance of books.

"Hey, I have a headache."

Du He threw "The Art of War" on the table and fell backwards like a salted fish.

After flipping through the military book for an hour or so, his mind became more and more confused, and he became even more confused about the battle plan.

Hey ~

I am still restless and can't concentrate on reading.

After lying down for a while, Du He sat up and looked at the rice paper on the desk with only a few lines of words written on it. He couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Forget it, I'm not cut out for this. There's no point in thinking too much about it."

"Tomorrow I should honestly ask for advice from Li Jing, the God of War!"

Anyway, Li Shimin did not allow Li Chengqian to ask for help from several military leaders, but he did not say that Du He could not ask.

Without seeking help from the big guys, even if this battle plan is developed, it will be full of loopholes.

It cannot withstand any scrutiny.

Although Du He wanted to prove his expertise in military law and strategy, the facts proved that the entire battle arrangement was not something that could be done on paper.

After pondering for so long, a series of battle plans came into his mind, such as attacking from both the north and the south, besieging a city to attack reinforcements, attacking a state via the false pretext of passing through Guo, making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, etc.

But if you ask him to write a complete battle plan, he just can't finish it.

Especially when it comes to the coordination of marching and combat, they are completely in the dark.

"It seems that I can only give some ideas and act as a dog-headed military advisor."

Du He is very self-aware.

It would be okay to ask him to come up with some novel combat ideas.

As for whether it is useful or not, it depends on whether the big boss sitting in the central army agrees with what he said.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a gentle knock on the tightly closed study door.

Then came Li Yi's crisp voice: "Husband, let's come in."

After the door of the room was pushed open, Li Yi took Linglong into the study. Linglong was holding a tray with lychees and tea on it.

Li Yi saw that Du He's face was full of annoyance, so he walked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and asked in a gentle voice.

"My husband, what's wrong with you today? You locked yourself in the study room after coming back from work, and you're so irritable."

This is not like my husband's usual style.

Apart from her, this study room has been used by her husband so many times that she can count them on one hand.

And my husband never stayed for more than half an incense stick of time.

This time he waited for more than an hour. Faced with such abnormal behavior, Li Yi was very worried.

Du He patted the back of her hand, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Yi'er, your husband is fine, he's just thinking about something for the prince."

"It's good that you're okay. If you can't figure it out, go out for a walk. Maybe you'll get a different perspective."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the scattered military books on the table, and a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work, my husband. I will reward you with a lychee."

She took a lychee from the tray, peeled it and fed it to Du He.

When the husband knew that the prince was going to lead the army to attack Goguryeo, he began to study the art of war diligently. He was really promising, so he was given a small reward.

At noon, Princess Changle Li Lizhi came to visit her and told her that at the court meeting in the morning, her father asked her brother, the crown prince, to lead the army to war.

Although Li Yi was worried, he gradually felt relieved when he thought about the many capable and brave generals in the Tang Dynasty.

The prince's achievements in battle will also help him in succeeding the throne.

Li Yi continued, "My husband, this afternoon Fang Yiai's servant brought over a piece of exquisite colored glass, saying it was yours."

"Yier, this glass belongs to my husband now, you can accept it without worry."

Fang Yiai is not good at anything, but he is reliable in giving gifts as an apology.

Hearing that Liuli was her husband's, Li Yi felt relieved.

After all, a piece of exquisite colored glass is worth a lot of money.

Li Yi stayed for a while, and seeing Du He was thinking about something, he said obediently: "Husband, you go ahead and do your work. Linglong and I will go for a walk in the garden."

"Go ahead, but be careful not to bump into anything on the steps."

"Know it."

After Li Yi covered his mouth and finished speaking, he pulled Linglong, who was looking around curiously. After the two walked out of the room, Linglong gently closed the study.

Then, Li Yi's voice of admonition came from outside the door.

"You stupid girl, don't say a word outside about what you saw in the study!"

"Your Highness, I didn't see anything..."

"Shit, there are a few big words written on the paper saying 'Goguryeo Battle Plan'. I don't believe you didn't see it."

"Don't worry, Princess. I can handle the heavy and light."

If the other generals knew that you were giving advice to the Crown Prince, they would definitely come to you and ask you to include them in the battle plan as commanders.

It will only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to my husband.

Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, Du He smiled silently.

Having such a virtuous wife is truly a blessing from his previous life.

"Li Jing and I don't have any contact on a daily basis, so it would be a bit rude to come to him and ask for advice."

"You still have to bring some gifts. After all, the more gifts, the better."

It is not appropriate for a junior to ask for guidance from someone empty-handed.

In addition, people like Li Jing, who hold high positions, usually stay at home and rarely go out. The two families have no contact with each other and look down on such a playboy.

Du He pinched his chin and murmured in a low voice: "What gift should I give?"

Li Jing was a man who loved military tactics, and he also wrote a military book called "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors".

Famous military strategies such as "The Art of War by Sun Tzu", "Wei Liaozi", "The Art of War by Sun Bin", "Six Secret Teachings", "The Art of War by Sima", etc. are already everywhere. These generals and some people from aristocratic families have collections of these books.

If you have a fragment of a military strategy book or a new military strategy book, giving it to him would be a good idea to please him.

But Du He had nothing.

"Hey~"

"Forget it, I'll just copy a poem and give it to Li Jing."

Du He can only make use of his advantage as a plagiarist.

After thinking for a moment, I thought of how Li Jing, at the age of 65, with gray hair on his temples, still defeated the Tuyuhun who invaded the Tang Dynasty.

Then a poem instantly jumped into Du He's heart.

He spread out a new piece of rice paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write quickly.

Not long after.

A good poem comes to life on paper.

Seeing the disgusting words like "Spring Earthworms and Autumn Snakes" above, Du He's face turned red.

"It doesn't matter if the characters are ugly, as long as the words are good."

Du He then framed the calligraphy himself, which took a lot of effort.

The next day.

After lowering the value.

When Du He got on the carriage, he said to the guards, "Let's go to the Duke of Wei's mansion."

"It's Master."

The guard driving the carriage responded and then drove directly towards the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Six guards followed closely on both sides.

Du He used to hang out in brothels and casinos, and he was a person who loved to offend people.

In order to prevent himself from being attacked, he hired seven guards.

Among them were two guards who were the masters of the Eastern Palace that Li Chengqian had requested.

At the gate of Weiguo Mansion.

The servant guarding the gate saw Du He jump off the carriage and walk towards the gate, so he quickly went to meet him.

"Prince Consort Du, are you here at the Duke of Wei's Mansion to look for the eldest son, Li Dejian?"

Li Dejian was Li Jing's eldest son. He was good friends with Li Chengqian and belonged to the Eastern Palace camp.

However, unlike Du He, he did not openly support Li Chengqian. Like Cui Shenji and others, he supported him secretly behind the scenes.

Du He shook his head slightly: "I came here today to visit the Duke of Weiguo, please inform him."

"Please wait a moment, Prince Consort Du. I will be there soon."

After the servant saluted Du He, he turned around and ran inside.

After a while, he hurried out again, came to Du He and spoke respectfully.

"Prince Consort Du, our master wants to see you."

Then he walked in front of the left and said, "I will lead the way for you."

Du He bowed to him and said, "Thank you."

This servant is quite interesting.
