Li Yuanxing received a gift, a heavy gift from the people.
However, he could not wear this dress and it had to be enshrined in the ancestral temple. This was the honor of the Li family.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yuanxing woke up. He raised his wrist and looked at the time. There were still three hours until seven o'clock in the afternoon. The evening movie must be all ready. This year's venue will only be better than last year.
Qiuxiang took the clothes and said: "Your Highness, Princess Mingyue and the princesses have already gone to the south city arena. Li Shangshu, General Qin, General Yuchi, and Wang Shangshu have just arrived in the study. I think hot tea and snacks have been served by now." Qiuxiang
The level of speaking is really getting higher and higher.
In a few words, they not only told Li Yuanxing who was coming, but also told Li Yuanxing in a confidential manner. They did not affect Li Yuanxing's rest, and Li Yuanxing did not neglect the guests.
Li Yuanxing said to himself, today is New Year's Eve, why are you coming to my Admiral Tiance's house?
"Where are the two chief historians?"
"When I return to Your Highness, the two chief ministers are not in the mansion." Qiuxiang answered while helping Li Yuanxing get dressed.
Li Yuanxing got dressed and quickly came to the study.
"Wu Lang, what a plan!" Qin Qiong came forward first, with a smile on his face.
"I don't know what good thing is going on!" Li Yuanxing returned the greeting and sat down on the main seat.
Li Jing also had a smile on his face: "This year has been really good. Goguryeo tied up all the former Sui generals and sent them to Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng followed the plan and used a whip in front of the Goguryeo people, but
After the Goguryeo people left, they were entertained with good wine and meat. Lao Cheng would not talk about any big principles. He just told them that the Tang Dynasty would definitely use force against Goguryeo. Although they were former Sui generals, they were also people from the Central Plains.
A family cannot be injured in a war."
Li Yuanxing nodded silently. What Cheng Motou said was right. Rough people have their own way of talking about truth.
"Lao Niu has fought against Goguryeo three times and was also a general of the former Sui Dynasty. I have something to talk about with those people. After all, these young people are still in our Tang Dynasty. Before I went, I took the letters from these young people according to Wulang's words, and Lao Niu gave them to
Afterwards, they got two unexpected benefits." Qin Qiong also said.
"benefit?"
Li Yuanxing naturally became interested after hearing the benefits.
"They gave several maps and also drew a defense plan for 70% of Goguryeo's city. They also drew a list of people who could instigate rebellion. These people were originally caught between the Goguryeo royal family and the powerful Yuan family. So there are a few
There are many checkpoints, but you can win without fighting! The biggest gain is a granary located in a small harbor!"
Yuchi Gong was impatient and rushed to say: "After we get the seaport, we will march another three hundred miles on the road and cut off Bisha City directly. If Wulang's navy is fierce, whether Bisha City will be attacked or not will be decided by our Tang Dynasty."
The knife is down."
"Qingzhou, Dandong City!" Li Yuanxing squinted his eyes. He just muttered these words in a low voice, but no one heard him.
Wang Jishan also said: "Your Highness, the meaning of Tianyingge Xiaohui is to listen before the war!"
A small meeting refers to a small discussion, limited to the level of the pavilion master, and a total of six people.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "Let them make their own choice. If they want to go home, let them go home. If they want to compete for military honors in the army, just listen to them before the war. However, it is hard to say at this level!"
"According to the military rank of the Sui Dynasty, I will demote the three poles and listen to them!" Li Jing made a conclusion.
Li Yuanxing pressed his forehead, thinking whether to keep the original battle plan or use the intelligence of these people.
"How many capitals did Goguryeo have?" Li Yuanxing suddenly asked.
Qin Qiong couldn't answer this historical question. Brother Heitan could only stare. Li Jing knew but didn't give details.
On the other hand, Wang Jishan, who was well-read in poetry and literature, memorized the history of Goguryeo most clearly, but he and Li Jing looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. Li Yuanxing's question was really strange.
Li Yuanxing stood up: "The first capital of Goguryeo was Heshenggu City. This place is just north of the seaport you are looking for and east of Jian'an City. It is only five hundred miles away. If we conquer it, this place will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
."
This place can be hit. As soon as Li Yuanxing mentioned the location, the four people present knew it without a map.
Li Yuanxing continued: "The inner city of Goguryeo must be captured. If we can't take back the Jingguan here, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see the people of Chang'an again."
"If you can't take it down, I won't have the shame to enter Chang'an again!" Brother Heitan certainly understood.
If the Tang Dynasty military could not demolish the Jingguan, no matter how many enemies were killed or how much land was occupied, the battle would be considered a defeat.
"The third one, Wandu City, is not far from the domestic city. Take it!"
"Take it down!" Brother Heitan responded vigorously.
Li Yuanxing played with the jade fan in his hand and said with a smile: "The current capital of Goguryeo is Pyongyang City. Do you think the pharmacist can capture it?"
"It's impossible. Even if His Highness is sure of taking it, he can't hold it. The Goguryeo people will counterattack madly and turn Pyongyang into a killing place. The inside and outside of the city will be filled with the corpses of the Goguryeo people and my Tang soldiers. Even if
If we defend it, Datang will lose at least three guards, or even more."
Li Yuanxing scratched his scalp with an indifferent expression and smiled: "How about going on a robbery?"
"It is feasible to retreat as soon as the first battle begins. But..."
Li Jing wanted to say it, but was stopped by Li Yuanxing:
"There are no buts. Goguryeo dares to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Since we want to fight, we must first defeat Xiangcheng. I will arrange for Zhao Yande to lead Yeon Gaesumun and his people out of Pyongyang City first, and then take action to defeat Pyongyang City.
The more middle nobles die, the greater the chance of Yeon Gaesumun to rebel."
Li Jing understood and nodded.
"Your Highness, this is a good strategy. It can also make Goguryeo think that the Tang Dynasty is just teaching them a lesson. After the war in Pyongyang City has been raging for a few days, if other people from all walks of life take action again, they will get twice the result with half the effort. Three problems?"
This time, Li Jing didn't say 'but' because he didn't want to give Li Yuanxing a chance to interrupt him.
"First, how many troops are available for a raid on Pyongyang? Second, how to attack the city wall. Third, whether we can enter the city, and what we need to do after entering the city."
Li Yuanxing also stretched out three fingers: "A boat, including food and grass, can hold up to three hundred people, and there are no horses. This time, only ten boats can be used, unless the craftsmen can make more boats and launch them. Even so, twelve boats
That’s the limit. So this time, I’m going to use the Red Blood and Yulin Guards!”
"The Yulin Army is not good. They have no horses and their fighting strength is half."
That is Li Jing. Anyone else would never dare to oppose Li Yuanxing's opinion. As long as the Yulinwei heard that they were asked to fight, they would not consider whether they had horses or not. Last time they just went out for a leisurely stroll, which was not a battle at all.
Mission. The Habayashi Army really wants to prove its strength in a battle.
Li Jing added: "Use it in Yulin, use it in Liaocheng!"
"You win." Li Yuanxing agreed with Li Jing's statement: "Those former Sui Jiang generals must act together with Red Blood. If we hire another three hundred heroes, plus the powerful cannon equipped with Banzhong, it will not be a problem to invade the city. Goguryeo
There are many things in the palace that are worth grabbing. This is not just a matter of money. There should be a defense map of the entire Goguryeo country there!"
"Fight!" Brother Heitan jumped up: "This army has a certain leader!"
"Brother Tan, let's attack the inner city. Let you lead Yu Lin. Let Su Dingfang lead this one. Or recruit Li Ji back to attack the inner city. If Brother Tan doesn't lead the army, we really can't find better manpower."
"Thank you Goro!"
Yuchi Gong was deceived, at least Li Jing and Wang Jishan could see it.
Yuchi Gong was too impatient to do such delicate work, and Li Yuanxing must have some additional tasks.
Li Jing asked again at this time: "Where is His Highness's flying fortress? Is it Pyongyang City?"
"Five hundred miles an hour, you can go wherever you want!" Li Yuanxing gave an answer that was not an answer.
On New Year's Eve, Yuchi Gong didn't even return home, and didn't even have time to tell his family.
Tiance Admiral's Mansion, Chixue and Yulin gathered together urgently. Amidst the salute before the grand arena celebration, one thousand Chixue, three hundred Yulin, and the urgently recruited three hundred extremely skilled rangers had arrived.
Jinghe Military Control Wharf.
Li Yuanxing is rarely seen wearing the very formal robes of the King of Qin.
"I don't plan to hold any heavy drinking ceremony. Today is New Year's Eve. But we need to go out urgently, and we really can't miss the opportunity. Food and drink have been prepared on the ship. It only takes half a month to get on the ship from here.
Go to Hangzhou, make final preparations in Hangzhou, and then go to sea. We will arrive in Laizhou in five days, and we will stay in Laizhou. Some people will also come to Laizhou from Jian'an City and train every day, waiting for further orders from my king!"
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, the surroundings were still quiet.
Since no one asked questions, Li Yuanxing had no choice but to speak himself.
"The combat mission may have to wait. I asked you to set off on New Year's Eve so as not to attract attention. When you go to war, it will definitely shock the world. In short, thank you for your hard work!" Li Yuanxing gave a military salute of the Tang Dynasty.
No one answered, just silently returned the greeting.
It has been a full year and three months since the four guards of Tiance formed an army. Except for Lei Qi who participated in the campaign against Goguryeo, the other three armies have not made any achievements.
The rule of the Prince of Qin's Palace is that income is based on military merit, and Lei Qi is considered the best.
There is nothing dissatisfied, they are just holding their breath and preparing for a fight.
After speaking to the sergeants, Li Yuanxing turned around and said to Yu Chigong: "Brother Tan, this time is different. I only want to give Lao Cheng a word, just don't move, and move a hundred miles a day. This is my first time fighting.
This is a tough battle, and this is the first time that the life of the sergeant has not been put first. We cannot afford to lose this time!"
"Don't worry, Wulang. If anything goes wrong, it will be me and Lao Cheng who die first."
"Your soldiers will be mobilized in batches. They will definitely be sent to Brother Tan's men within two months at most. The ordnance and supplies will only be more, not less, please!"
Yu Chigong's heart was neither heavy nor nervous, but ecstasy and excitement. It was such a joy to fight all the way, and he hadn't felt this way for many years.
Looking at the fleet of ships slowly moving away, Li Yuanxing's heart felt heavy.
"Your Highness, General Li Xiaogong has returned to Chang'an." Lu Maofeng said softly beside Li Yuanxing. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
