Chapter 476: To Fight or Not to Fight

"Your Majesty, if you use the excuse that Quangai Suwen sent assassins to Chang'an, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chu Suiliang arched his hand and said: "Although it is said that Gao Jianwu and Quangai Suwen are fighting fiercely in Goguryeo now, and Gao Jianwu has also been in decline, but the nominal royal family of Goguryeo is still Gao Jianwu's branch, not only that, Gao Jianwu is also the king of Rongliu personally appointed by His Majesty. โ€ยท

"Your Majesty, we might as well take advantage of this, Gao Jianwu and Quangai Suwen are fighting fiercely now, Gao Jianwu sent his son Gao Huanquan to Chang'an, one is his attitude towards Datang, and the other is that he still hopes that our Datang can support him." Li Xiaogong stood in front of the map and said with a smile: "In this case, let's go over with illness generously, and camp in Liaodong, Gao Jianwu and Quangai Su Wendou, in my opinion, the current form is very unfavorable to Gao Jianwu, and Gao Jianwu will not last long, when Gao Jianwu falls, our army will be able to move eastward from Liaodong, take Liaodong City first, and at the same time send a general to lead the water army across the sea to occupy Beisha City, and then Anshi City, if you can successfully conquer Anshi City, then the purpose of Liaodong's troops, It's already more than half, but this Anshi City is a hard bone to gnaw. โ€

"The king of Hejian is right, this Anshi City is the gateway city of the entire Goguryeo, the Great Wall built by Gao Jianwu, from the northeast of Fuyu City, southwest to the sea, fortunately, it has not been completed yet, if the construction is completed, the Tang Dynasty wants to use troops against Goguryeo, but it will be difficult." Liu Hongji stood beside Li Xiaogong, and like Li Xiaogong, he looked at the hanging map of the Liaodong region, which had already marked the location of the Great Wall that Gao Jianwu wanted to build.

"But now, the two of you, our Datang, do you have a navy that can be dispatched? Even if it is from Pingzhou, the coastal area of Andong Prefecture sent a naval army to attack and occupy Beisha City, the distance of the voyage is not very close, if it is along the coast, I am afraid that it will not achieve the purpose of sneak attack, as long as the Datang naval army arrives near the waters of Beisha City, it will be discovered by the soldiers of Goguryeo, and there are many Goguryeo fishing boats along the coast of Beisha City, how can we ensure that my Datang naval army will not be discovered by these fishing boats. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Lord Changsun, military ships are always faster than fishing boats, as long as the speed is fast enough, the Tang Dynasty naval army can quickly seize the landing and attack Beisha City, as far as I know, because of the location of Beisha City, Goguryeo did not place too many troops in Beisha City." Li Xiaogong pointed to the location of Beisha City on the map and said, therefore, once the naval army landed, it immediately launched an attack, taking them by surprise, and there was an eighty percent chance that they would take Beisha City in one fell swoop. โ€

"I agree with the King of the River." Liu Hongji also chimed in.

"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji saw that it was not a way to argue with Li Xiaogong and Liu Hongji again, whether to fight or not, it was still up to His Majesty Li Er to decide, it was better to hand over the right to speak to His Majesty Li Er, and let him weigh the pros and cons, although the possibility of not moving troops was very small, but it was not for nothing, now Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong and Liu Hongji have analyzed the various factors of war and non-war, and I believe that His Majesty Li Er has already made a conclusion in his heart.

His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the map of Liaodong and looked at it for a long time, and also remembered the preparations made for this mobilization before, and now even the Hundred Cavalry Division has been sent to Liaodong, and it is absolutely impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang to be able to shake it with a few words.

At this time, the small yellow door outside the Manna Hall walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongshan is asking to see Your Majesty outside the palace."

"Jing'er? Let him in. โ€

"No." The little yellow door went in response.

After a while, Xuan Shijing wore an eggplant purple official robe, stepped on official boots, and walked into the Manna Palace.

"Minister, see Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing bowed to His Majesty Li Er, and after getting up, Fu arched his hand to the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, and greeted them one by one: "Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Chu, Lord Liu, Lord Wang." โ€

Everyone nodded in response.

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

"The minister is terrified." Xuan Shijing hurriedly gave up, now the core figures of Wenchen and the military bosses are there, if Xuan Shijing says more, won't he become a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen, no matter what he says, he will always offend people, Xuan Shijing just wanted to ask His Majesty Li Er how to deal with the old ministers of the former Sui, but he didn't want to get caught up in the war situation in Liaodong, even if he had to join the war in Liaodong, it had to be after the battle was clearly started.

Military merit, Xuan Shijing will not dislike this kind of thing, the Tang Dynasty is headed by military merit, don't say that those bigwigs in the military, even if they are civilian officials, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which one has no military merits, and the nobles who have no military merits will not be able to stand for a long time in Chang'an.

Now the war in that place in the northwest must not have anything to do with Xuan Shijing, Liaodong is fighting, Xuan Shijing can go to the battlefield and make some achievements in the rear, but before the start of the fight, what to fight or not, Xuan Shijing doesn't want to talk much, although Xuan Shijing knows that this place in Liaodong still fought in the end, and it was His Majesty Li Er himself, who drove the expedition in person.

"If you are asked to say it, you will say it directly, and I will not blame you if you say it wrong." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said.

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

"If Xuanhou has a high opinion, it doesn't hurt to say it." The eldest grandson Wuji also spoke.

"Yes, Jing'er, let's talk about it, this king heard that when you fought the Tubo army with the Cheng family boy in Shicheng, you dispatched it in a good way." Li Xiaogong also rarely echoed the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

When it came to this, Xuan Shijing couldn't shirk it, so he had to walk in front of the huge Liaodong map that was hanging, and carefully observe, although he didn't know how to march and fight in his previous life, but he had read a lot of military books in this life, not to mention that there were also some historical experiences in it, combined with the map, although it could not be said to be perfect, but to avoid some things that were taboo in marching and fighting, and then to do some paper talk about the army in accordance with the form of mountains and rivers.

"According to the humble opinion of the minister, if the army is sent to attack Goguryeo, Beisha City will become an important springboard, relying on the water army of the Tang Dynasty, the two complement each other, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, even if it is the grain and grass of the army, it can also rely on the ships of the navy to carry it, and it is faster and more convenient to take the waterway than to go by land, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain and grass are also the most important." Xuan Shijing pointed to the map and said.
