The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 705
"Your Majesty, if Quangai Suwen sent assassins to Chang'an as an excuse, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Chu Suiliang cupped his hands and said, "Although Gao Jianwu and Quangai Suwen are fighting fiercely in Goguryeo, and Gao Jianwu is already on the decline, but The nominal royal family of Goguryeo is still Gao Jianwu, not only that, but Gao Jianwu is also the King Rongliu personally appointed by His Majesty, if you send troops at this time, I am afraid that it will be offended." ·

"Your Majesty, we might as well take advantage of this. Gao Jianwu and Quan Gai Suwen are currently fighting fiercely. Gao Jianwu sent his son Gao Huanquan to Chang'an. Firstly, it is his attitude towards Datang. I hope our Tang Dynasty can support him." Li Xiaogong stood in front of the map and said with a smile: "In this case, we will pass the illness openly and stay in Liaodong. Gao Jianwu and Quan Gai Su Wendou, in my opinion, the current The situation is very unfavorable to Gao Jianwu, and Gao Jianwu won't last long. When Gao Jianwu falls, our army will be able to march eastward from Liaodong, take Liaodong City first, and at the same time send a general to lead a navy across the sea to attack Beisha City. Next is Anshi City, if we can successfully conquer Anshi City, then more than half of the purpose of using troops in Liaodong this time has been achieved, but this Anshi City is a tough nut to crack."

"King Hejian is right. This Anshi City is the gateway city of the entire Goguryeo. The Great Wall built by Gao Jianwu runs from Fuyu City in the northeast to the sea in the southwest. Fortunately, it has not been completed yet. If it is completed, the Great Wall of Tang Dynasty If you want to use troops against Goguryeo, it will be difficult.” Liu Hongji stood beside Li Xiaogong, and like Li Xiaogong, he looked at the hanging map of the Liaodong area, which had already marked the location of the Great Wall that Gao Jianwu wanted to build.

"But now, two, our Tang Dynasty, do we have a navy that can be sent out? Even if we send a navy from the coastal areas of Pingzhou and Andong Governor's Mansion to attack and occupy Beisha City, the sailing distance is not very close. If you go along the coast, you may not be able to achieve the purpose of the sneak attack. As soon as the Tang Dynasty's navy reaches the waters of Beisha City, it will be discovered by Goguryeo soldiers. Moreover, there are many Goguryeo fishing boats along the coast of Beisha City. It can guarantee that my Datang navy will not be discovered by these fishing boats." Changsun Wuji said.

"Master Changsun, military ships are always faster than fishing boats. As long as they are fast enough, Tang's navy can quickly seize the landing and attack Beisha City. As far as I know, because of the location of Beisha City, Goguryeo did not There are too many troops placed in Beisha City." Li Xiaogong pointed to the location of Beisha City on the map and said, so once the navy landed, they would launch an attack immediately, catching them by surprise, and there was an [-]% chance of taking Beisha City in one fell swoop. "

"I agree with King Hejian." Liu Hongji also echoed.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji saw that it was not an option to continue arguing with Li Xiaogong and Liu Hongji. His Majesty Li Er could decide whether to fight or not, so it was better to give the right to speak to His Majesty Li Er and let him go. Weighing the pros and cons, although the possibility of not moving troops is very small, it is not impossible. Now Chu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong and Liu Hongji have analyzed the various factors of war and non-war. I believe His Majesty Li Er I already have a conclusion in my heart.

His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the map of Liaodong and looked at it for a long time. He also remembered the preparations he had made before this time for the mobilization of troops. Now even Baiqisi has been dispatched to Liaodong. A few words with Chu Suiliang can be shaken.

At this time, the small yellow gate outside the Ganlu Hall walked into the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Dongshan is asking to see His Majesty outside the hall."

"Jing'er? Let him in."

"No." Xiao Huangmen responded and left.

After a while, Xuan Shijing, dressed in an eggplant purple official robe and official boots, walked into the Manna Palace.

"I see Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing bowed to His Majesty Li Er, and after getting up, he bowed his hands to Changsun Wuji and others, and greeted them one by one: "Master Changsun, Lord Chu, Lord Liu, Lord."

Everyone nodded in response.

"Jing'er fell just right, come and have a look, you are smart as a child, and now you can see through the current situation, how about coming to see the land of Liaodong?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing and pointed to Liaodong. said the map.

"Young minister is terrified." Xuan Shijing hurriedly cupped his hands. Now that the core figures of civil servants and military leaders are all there, if Xuan Shijing talks too much, it will become a big knife in front of Guan Gong's door. No matter what he says, he will always It will offend people, Xuan Shijing came here just to ask His Majesty Li Er what to do with those old ministers of the former Sui Dynasty, but he didn't want to get caught in the battle in Liaodong, even if he had to join the war in Liaodong, it had to be done after a clear fight OK.

Xuan Shijing would not despise such things as military merits. The Great Tang was led by military merits, not to mention those bigwigs in the military, even if they were civil servants, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, among the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, which of them had no Military meritorious honors without military merits will not be able to stand in Chang'an for a long time.

Now the war in the northwest area must have nothing to do with Xuan Shijing. When the Liaodong area is fighting, it is not bad for Xuan Shijing to go to the battlefield and make some achievements in the rear, but before the fight, what is the battle? If there is no fight, Xuan Shijing doesn't want to talk too much, although Xuan Shijing knows that the Liaodong area is still fighting in the end, and it is His Majesty Li Er himself who personally marched.

"If you tell me, just say it, and I won't blame you if you say something wrong." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said.

Come on, you won't blame me, but have you looked at the eyes of the people on both sides?

"If Marquis Xuan has high opinions, it's fine to say so." Changsun Wuji also said.

"That's right, Jing'er, tell me, I heard that when you fought against the Tubo army with the Cheng family boy in Shicheng, you were well organized." Li Xiaogong rarely echoed Changsun Wuji's words.

Having said all this, Xuan Shijing couldn't shirk it, so he had to go to the huge hanging map of Liaodong and observe it carefully. Although he didn't know how to march and fight in his previous life, he read it in this life. I have written a lot of military books, not to mention some historical experience, combined with maps, although it cannot be said to be perfect, but it is still possible to avoid some things that are taboo in marching and fighting, and then make some papers in the form of mountains and rivers.

"In my humble opinion, if you send troops to attack Goguryeo, Beisha City will become an important springboard. Relying on the water army of the Tang Dynasty, the two complement each other. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Even if it is the food and grass of the army, it can also rely on water. It is faster and more convenient to carry the army's ships by water than by land. As the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses move, and the food and grass are also the most important." Xuan Shijing pointed to the map and said.
