Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

After Li Jing came to his senses, he took two deep breaths and then looked at it seriously.

"Pozhenzi? It looks like a poem!"

The moment Li Jing saw the name of the poem, he had already guessed whether it was a poem or a lyric.

Although the handwriting was ugly, the name of the tune was well chosen, and he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Li Jing read aloud while reading.

"Looking at the sword while drunk, I dreamed of blowing the corner of the company."

"..."

"I have accomplished the king's business, won fame in life and after death, but now my hair has turned white!"

After Li Jing finished reading it in a rhythmic manner, he was completely stunned.

I'm in a big trough!

These words touched his heart!

As Li Jing stood there like a fool, the scene instantly fell into deathly silence.

Du He smiled slightly and said nothing.

This poem "Poetry of Breaking the Formation: A Poem Written for Chen Tongfu" was written by Xin Qiji, a great literary figure of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Amidst the wars of war, there is a sense of unfulfilled ambitions and a heroic spirit in his old age.

Although this poem does not fit Li Jing 100%, it has a different meaning when interpreted considering his current age as a hero in his twilight years.

a long time.

"Whoo~"

Li Jing let out a long breath, and his hands holding the scroll of poetry were trembling slightly.

As he carefully put the scroll aside, he smiled and said to Du He, "Nephew Du, I am very satisfied with the content of this poem you wrote."

A fly in the ointment!

Although you can make a new copy by hand, it is no longer the original owner's authentic copy.

It's somewhat lacking emotionally.

If Du He knew what Li Jing was thinking, he would definitely advise him to copy it again quickly.

After all, Du He is not the original author, he is just the porter of poetry.

Du He smiled and said, "As long as Uncle Li is satisfied."

Li Jing stared at Du He, shook his head and said, "My dear nephew Du, this poem is impeccable, but the handwriting is a little bit not so formal."

"After I go back, I still need to practice calligraphy more."

His wording was euphemistic.

I didn't say directly that what Du He wrote was just a bunch of shit.

It seems that this poem has added a lot of points to Du He's image in his mind.

Without waiting for Du He to speak, Li Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nephew Du, let's go to my study and talk in detail. There is a marching map there."

"Since I have accepted your good poem, uncle will also give you a good idea."

Since he had accepted this generous gift from Du He, he did not hide it.

It just so happened that he had also worked out a battle plan against Goguryeo in the past few days and was worried that he had no one to talk to.

The two hit it off immediately.

After walking for a while, Du He followed Li Jing and quickly arrived at his study.

The study is even better decorated than the lobby, and the bookshelves inside are filled with books.

And on the wall on one side, there is a large marching map.

After closing the door of the study, Li Jing walked to the marching map and started his lecture directly.

"Nephew Du, our Tang Dynasty borders Goguryeo by land and sea, so we can fight on both land and sea routes."

As Li Jing spoke, he pointed to Yingzhou, which borders Liaodong, and Laizhou, which faces Pyongyang across the sea.

He saw Du He nodded, so he continued.

"For the land front, we can send troops from Youzhou and Yingzhou and send a large army to attack Liaodong by land."

"Liaodong City is an important city of Goguryeo in the north. It is high and strong, and is heavily guarded."

"If we attack Liaodong City directly, we won't be able to take it down in a short time, and the reinforcements from Xincheng, Jian'an and Gaimu City will attack our Tang army from behind."

"So the best way is to besiege the city without attacking it, and ambush the reinforcements halfway!"

"Besiege Liaodong City, ambush the reinforcements sent by Xincheng, Jian'an and Gaimu City on the way, and wait until Goguryeo's strength is almost depleted, then surround Liaodong City with heavy troops."

"After taking Liaodong City, one army crossed Xuantu City, and another crossed Gaimu City. The two armies marched southwards and headed straight for Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo."

Afraid that Du He wouldn't understand, Li Jing pointed at the marching map, pointing out each city one by one.

Then, Li Jing pointed at Laizhou and said.

"When the land army attacks Liaodong City, in order to prevent Pyongyang from sending reinforcements, the water army can march out of Laizhou and attack Pyongyang directly."

"The waterborne army is mainly used to contain and deter the enemy, so it cannot directly engage in close combat with the enemy troops stationed in Pyongyang."

"We have to wait until the land army arrives before we can unite and attack Pyongyang."

Li Jing spoke very carefully, and Du He instantly had a clear battle plan in his mind.

After explaining the overall strategic plan, Li Jing taught Du He some more detailed things.

One of them was talking intently, and the other was listening attentively, and they didn't even notice Mrs. Li coming in with fruit tea.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside gradually became darker.

It was not until the study became dim and the marching map could no longer be seen that the two ended their conversation with reluctance.

"Whoo~"

Du He breathed a sigh of relief with a fulfilled harvest.

He stood up and bowed to Li Jing to express his gratitude: "Uncle Li, thank you for your guidance. I have benefited a lot from it!"

Li Jing picked up the scroll of poems beside him and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite. We are just exchanging equal value."

In his opinion, these battle plans could be easily drawn up by Li Ji, Hou Junji and others.

But this tragic poem is not so easy to compose.

In Li Jing's heart, he still took advantage of Du He.

Du He shook his head and said seriously: "Uncle Li, a poem is not worth mentioning, but Uncle Li's military and political strategies are worth a fortune."

Everyone has different things and has different views on problems.

Li Jing waved his hand, then pointed at the fruit on the table and said, "Nephew Du, try the lychees that His Majesty gave you. They are still fresh now. If they are left for another day or two, they will not be so delicious."

"Then you're welcome, nephew."

After talking for so long, Du He felt dry mouth and hungry.

Lychees are a rare fruit in Chang'an.

Li Jing took a few sips of tea, then asked with interest: "Nephew Du, which generals will the Crown Prince take with him to conquer Goguryeo this time?"

Du He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Uncle Li, the prince has not yet decided."

Hearing Li Jing's tone, he also wanted to go to the battle.

Come to think of it, a general who has fought for most of his life would definitely be interested in a tough country like Goguryeo.

Li Jing then said, "Nephew Du, if the prince has not yet decided on a general, you can arrange for my uncle to be included."

Du He looked at him worriedly and said, "Uncle Li, you are already 73 years old. I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear going to such a cold and harsh place like Goguryeo."

It would be best if we could bring Li Jing, the god of war, with us, but Li Jing's health is not good now and we might get into trouble if anything happens to him.

Even if we won the battle, we would probably be condemned by Li Shimin when we returned to the capital.

The King of Wei's followers would certainly take advantage of the situation and impeach the Crown Prince.

When Li Jing heard Du He say that he was old, his beard immediately stood up. He felt very unconvinced.

"Nephew Du, watch out!"

Li Jing shouted loudly and then started punching.

Li Jing was so tired and out of breath before he finished half of the set of boxing and had to stop to rest.

Li Jing sat down helplessly and said, "Ah, I am indeed old. Time is merciless."
