To be honest, when Li Chengqian received the sudden news from Li Shimin, he was stunned. The expression on his face seemed to be frozen, and he looked a little confused.

He seemed to want to say something, but the unexpected news blocked his throat.

What on earth is Lao Li doing? Is General Tiance back at the factory again?

Li Chengqian's mind immediately appeared the vicissitudes of life on Li Shimin's face, and worry surged in his heart.

He is no longer young. After years of fighting in wars and taking care of state affairs, how can his body withstand such torture?

Li Chengqian's eyes revealed deep worry.

He tried to calm himself down, carefully recalling Li Shimin's usual spirit and vigorous and decisive style of doing things. Seeing that there was not much panic in the eyes of the messenger soldier, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Li Shimin's physical condition is now better than he imagined, and it should not be too bad.

With his own Five Military Camps and the Divine Machine Camp, he should not encounter too many obstacles in pacifying the Western Regions.

What's more, the lineup for this expedition is extremely luxurious, bringing together those famous veteran generals from the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

These veterans have all been through hundreds of battles and have made great achievements on the battlefield.

In addition, there are some young generals who are not bad and would benefit from some experience, such as Xue Rengui.

Originally, according to his plan, he had not intended to launch a large-scale recovery operation in the Western Regions in such a short period of time.

After all, the country has just experienced a series of wars, and people's livelihood needs to recuperate. All affairs require a lot of energy and time to be properly arranged and steadily developed.

Now, in order to avenge his grandson, Li Shimin, regardless of his own old age, resolutely decided to march to the Western Regions.

Li Chengqian sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

Forget it, forget it. I know Li Shimin's temper very well. If I insist on stopping him and not letting him go, I'm afraid he will worry day and night, unable to sleep or eat, and in the end it will hurt his body.

Although it was really not appropriate for Li Shimin to participate in such a tiring and exhausting war, he had made up his mind. How could he have the heart to refuse?

He is old, how can we make him so happy?

What's more, in history, he was also at this age when he personally led the expedition against Goguryeo. Now, compared with his historical age, his health is much better and he has no psychological pressure.

Li Chengqian agreed, but repeatedly reminded him to take care of his health.

With Li Chengqian's approval, Li Shimin instantly regained his former dominance on the battlefield.

He was dressed in majestic armor, standing in front of the army with his head held high, his eyes revealing a confident light.

His high-spirited look made the veterans around him recall his heroic figure when he was as powerful as a tiger.

During this expedition, we must ensure that the soldiers of the three battalions have no worries and devote themselves to the battle wholeheartedly.

So, Li Shimin waved his hand without hesitation and announced loudly: "Brothers, I will double your military pay for this expedition!"

"All the property looted on the battlefield will belong to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers burst into deafening cheers, their eyes flashing with excitement, and their eyes were full of gratitude as they looked at Li Shimin.

Looking at the simple reactions of these young soldiers, Li Shimin felt an unprecedented sense of joy in his heart.

Only then did he truly realize that spending money lavishly brought not only material satisfaction, but also spiritual pleasure. This generous feeling was so intoxicating.

Of course, Li Shimin himself did not have enough money to pay such a huge military pay.

But he is not worried about this, because he holds a special "trump card" in his hand - a "card" that can withdraw wealth, and a wealthy nephew.
