Story:
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the tributary state of Goguryeo experienced internal strife. The minister Jili killed the king appointed by Emperor Taizong and enthroned himself. Emperor Taizong intended to personally lead an expedition to Goguryeo.
However, General Chu Suiliang argued that such a minor affair did not warrant the emperor's personal involvement. He suggested that sending one or two capable generals with a hundred thousand troops would make little Goguryeo "唾手可取" (easily conquered).
