Chapter 557: Soldier City Strategy
Yang Xuangan's matter is now known to everyone.
Emperor Yang of Sui originally wanted to use Li Yuan to solve Yang Xuangan, but Tang Guogong was a shrewd person, and the excuse for the loss of the Li family's reinforcements this time was not to accept the order.
Emperor Yang of Sui was anxious, he didn't want to leave time for Yang Xuangan to prepare, the soldiers and horses who came to protect the children were already near Yanmen Pass, and they wanted to return to Penglai to quell the chaos, it was really not something that could be done in a few days.
Emperor Yang of Sui's will has been sent to various generals, not only Tang Guogong, as long as he can crusade against Yang Xuangan, he will be promoted to become rich.
With such a plan, even the people in the rivers and lakes want to ask for some benefits.
Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, got the news that if he didn't do it again, he would have to let others take the lead, so when many people were eager to try, the Li family mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Penglai to quell the chaos.
Li Jiancheng was the main general, and Tang Guogong stayed in Taiyuan Mansion to continue to manage his forces.
Li De, who was far away in the military city, was reading the letter sent by Emperor Yang of Sui, and the captains were all sitting around the conference table and waiting.
They still attach great importance to the emperor's letter, they all want to know what is written in Emperor Yang of Sui's letter, yes, this time it is not a handwritten edict, it is not a holy decree, it is a real letter.
After reading it, Li De's face was still flat, and the captains were anxious, they all wanted to know what the emperor said in the letter, and they knew that it was better not to come out at this time.
"Are you curious about what is written in Your Majesty's letter?" Li De asked.
"Ahem ......" Several people are coughing to solve their embarrassment.
"Your Majesty sent someone to deliver a letter, don't say it's you, I'm curious, now I'll tell you a good one." Li Dedao.
"The Governor ......"
He Bida thought that Li De was accommodating their curiosity, and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Li De.
"It doesn't matter, the things mentioned in Your Majesty's letter are closely related to you." After Li De finished speaking, several people around him became more curious, what had something to do with them.
"Your Majesty intends to attack Goryeo, if we are willing to be the vanguard, we have made generous conditions, not only can we transfer Goryeo to the jurisdiction of Youzhou, but also promote the ten captains to generals."
Several governors looked at each other, the general is the top of the military general's official position, and if he gets a reward, he will enter the knighthood, which means that they will have their own background.
The future is limitless.
"What about you, Grand Duke?" He Bida asked curiously.
"Haha, King Youzhou!"
He Bida and the others didn't think about it, they all stood up in unison, they all clasped their hands and fists and said in unison: "The last general is willing to swear allegiance to the king of Youzhou!" ”
The current Li De can actually be called the king of Youzhou in their hearts, but this form is not really recognized by the people and officials of the world.
The feudal system is like this, and it will not be convincing to say things that are not justified, just like Li De's achievements now, it is clear in the hearts of those who know the inside story that the strength of the Li family is there.
The vanguard is the foundation of Youzhou City, but there is a premise that they are all officials of the Sui State, although Li De is not treated by the emperor and the court, but in the eyes of the people, it is justified.
With the development of Youzhou City, even if they have enough strength, they can't take off the hats of Sui officials, even if they are tough, they can only make people dare to be angry and dare not speak.
After all, the vanguard is powerful, and the sixteen states of Youji are really in charge of Li De.
Now that the emperor has opened Chrysostom, once he attacks Goryeo, Li Dek will be the rightful king of Youzhou, and the royal family will notify the world that their current awkward relationship will be resolved.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is clever in the fact that the ten governors under Li De are all disciples of Jiangmen, and if Li De becomes the rightful king of Youzhou, then their relationship with their family can be restored, and it will not have a bad impact on Jiangmen.
Their becoming great generals is an achievement of glorifying their ancestors.
It would be a lie to say that they were not moved, He Bida and the others were very smart, in fact, even if Emperor Yang of Sui didn't say it, they would know that they would definitely have such achievements in the future.
The power of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji and the development of several major cities such as Youzhou, they believe that in a few years, there will be a few more Chang'an and Luoyang cities here.
When the tide rises, they will naturally be feudal officials and important ministers of Youzhou.
Now that there is the emperor's affirmation and promise, this time is directly shortened to a few battles, how can they not be tempted.
Li De suppressed everyone's emotions, and it was not appropriate to say these questions at this time.
"King of Youzhou, it's not easy for you to realize your dream of being a general, we have already discussed the situation in Goryeo during this time, there are two ways to take Goryeo, one is to cross the Beiban region by land, and the second is to take the water route, which is not so easy."
Li De calmly stopped the thoughts of several people.
"Governor, at present, it is safest to take the waterway for shipbuilding." Hebida said.
Of the two options, Hebida advocated taking the waterway, because the distance was close and as long as there were enough ships, they could transport troops, horses, and supplies, and a direct landing operation would have a great advantage for them, and the disadvantage was that they needed to build a large number of ships, which would take time, and this time could be three, five, or even ten years.
Therefore, Shi Huaiyi and others agree to take the route of the Northern Barbarians, first fight the Northern Barbarians and then take Goryeo, the problem is that they are still limited by the terrain, they need to travel a long distance, and the material pressure is very great.
The advantage may be that he can conquer the Northern Barbarians first, and put all the forces in northern Liaobei in the hands of Youzhou.
They had been discussing these two options for a long time, but in the end they did not come to a conclusion.
Li De didn't nod, he was inclined to take the land route, because he didn't want to attack Goryeo from the beginning, so occupying Liaobei was his goal.
It's just that if you can take Goryeo and Silla by the way, it would be a good thing.
As soon as Li De's words began, the captains were energetic again, and the battle was what they were interested in, and the country they fought was more reliable than what was given, and all the benefits to Emperor Yang of Sui at this moment were left behind.
They knew that all the benefits were based on the fact that they were able to conquer Goryeo, which was easy to say, but it was not done with courage that the number of people could succeed.
"How to decide, please ask the Metropolitan Governor to make it clear." Hebida said.
Li De has long thought about this problem, if he wants to be strong, it is not enough to dominate only by land, sooner or later he must develop the shipbuilding industry, and the resources of the sea are incomparable to the land.
It is also of unique strategic significance.
It's just that at the moment, it can't directly start HNA, and now the vanguard has a big business but has no foundation, and he can't spend as much money as he wants, which can't last long.
"The vanguard and the Northern Barbarians are destined to have a war, the Turks and the Tiele tribe are all connected, and now the Turkic soldiers and horses have suffered great losses, and they will definitely unite with other tribes, we can't let them unite, our battle plan must be arranged as soon as possible."
