"See Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin strode in, then bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Pretty, Zhijie, why did you come to the palace to see me late at night?" Li Shimin smiled and said. Although among all the generals, Cheng Yaojin's military talent was not as good as Li Jing, Li Ji and others, his loyalty was not comparable to that of others, which was why Li Shimin valued him the most.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have written my thoughts on attacking Goguryeo in a memorial during this period. Please give your Majesty a look!" Cheng Yaojin said as he took out a thick memorial from his sleeve and presented it to Li Shimin with both hands.

When Li Shimin heard that Cheng Yaojin was coming to attack Goguryeo, he did not show any surprise expression. Instead, he smiled at Changsun Wuji. After all, they had guessed that Cheng Yaojin would definitely not be able to sit still after Li Ji came back, but he didn't expect that he would come overnight.

At that moment, Li Shimin asked someone to take the memorial, and then opened it casually and looked at it casually. Originally, based on his understanding of Cheng Yaojin, he thought that Cheng Yaojin's strategy of attacking Goguryeo was nothing more than those, which was still a little different from Li Ji. However, when he saw the contents of the memorial, he couldn't help but look surprised, and then looked at the entire memorial with a serious expression.

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was also one of the most famous commanders in the world. Although he had not led troops for more than ten years, his vision was still there. Therefore, when he saw Cheng Yaojin's detailed strategy of attacking Goguryeo, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Zhijie, you thought of the contents of this memorial yourself?" Although Li Shimin was amazed in his heart, he couldn't help asking in the end. After all, with his understanding of Cheng Yaojin, such a bold idea seemed to be impossible for him to think of it.

"Report to Your Majesty, in fact, the idea of ​​crossing the sea was first proposed by the prince-consort, and then he told Su Dingfang. Later, Su Dingfang discussed with me whether this method was feasible. It can be said that in the end, the three of us gathered the power of the three of us to get this memorial." Cheng Yaojin did not take the credit and told the truth directly. Of course, after pulling Li Xiu, it could also increase the persuasiveness of his memorial.

"So that's it. Li Xiu's idea is bold. Su Dingfang is a newcomer in the army and is familiar with the situation in Liaodong. You are experienced. No wonder you can come up with such a solution!" Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Then your Majesty thinks that my idea is feasible?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but lit up when he heard Li Shimin's admiration, and he asked anxiously.

"I am not the only one who decides whether it is feasible. However, I have some new ideas from your memorial. Let's discuss it!" Li Shimin was also interested at this time. He asked someone to bring the map of Liaodong and spread it on his own desk. He began to discuss the possibility of cross-sea combat with Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin also actively expressed his opinions. After all, the memorial was limited, and many details could not be fully written.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin discussed it until the end of the genius in the near third update. This was Changsun Wuji worried about Li Shimin's health. After all, he was old, and since Empress Changsun passed away, Li Shimin's health has been not very good. If Li Shimin fell ill before the war, it would probably have a huge impact on morale. Therefore, he reminded Li Shimin many times to pay attention to rest.

Cheng Yaojin also knew that Li Shimin was not in good health during this period, so he finally stood up and said goodbye, which made Li Shimin put away his interest. Of course, Changsun Wuji sent Cheng Yaojin out of the Liangyi Hall on his behalf. However, when Changsun Wuji came back, he found that Li Shimin was still lying on the map and studying his previous strategy.

"Your Majesty, Duke Lu's plan is really feasible?" Changsun Wuji also asked at this time. Although he had heard something beside him just now, he was a civil servant after all. Although he had led soldiers before, he could not compare with military experts like Li Shimin.

"It's quite feasible!" Li Shimin finally raised his head and smiled with admiration, and his expression was very relaxed. If he had only five points to attack Goguryeo before, then the grasp now increased to seven points.

"Are Your Majesty preparing to appoint Cheng Yaojin as the chief general?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but ask again when he heard this.

Hearing the candidate for the appointment of the main general, Li Shimin also showed a meditative expression. After a while, he said again: "The candidate for the main general is of great importance. I still need to think carefully. Yao Jin is the person who proposed this strategy. If he is not allowed to be the main general, with his temper, he may have a big fuss."

When Li Shimin spoke at the end, he couldn't help but show a helpless expression. Others thought he would do whatever he wanted as an emperor, but who knew that when he was doing things, he needed to consider the influence of all aspects, and even the attitude of his ministers should be taken into account. That is, he could not lose his heart, nor did he praise the other too much. This feeling of calculating at all times can make people exhausted.

In the next few days, Li Shimin once again summoned Li Jing and several other major generals, mainly to discuss Cheng Yaojin's possible attack across the sea. As a result, when Li Ji read Cheng Yaojin's memorial, his face turned pale. That day, Li Xiu just mentioned it to him, and he didn't care at that time, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would actually write this method into the memorial. And according to his plan, it seemed that this method was also very feasible.

Li Jing and others also discussed in-depth discussions on the method of crossing the sea, and supplemented the entire plan more comprehensively and more practically. Now Li Ji was completely convinced because compared to the frontal attack he proposed, although Cheng Yaojin's strategy increased some risks, if it was successful, it could reduce huge casualties. If he was Li Shimin, he might choose this method in the end.

In the end, Li Shimin and a group of generals almost all recognized Cheng Yaojin's method. However, although the strategy of attacking Goguryeo was decided, the candidate for the main general was still not decided. Of course, Cheng Yaojin, as the person who offered the strategy of attacking Goguryeo, would naturally have a great advantage, but as long as it was not the last moment, no one would be sure.

In this situation, Li Shimin summoned Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji to the palace to discuss matters again. Li Xiu originally thought that Li Shimin was looking for him just to discuss the candidate for the chief general, but what he never expected was that Li Shimin had another extremely important thing to announce.
