Since the founding of the Great Xia, the era name is the beginning.

The so-called inheritor, that is, to continue the business of the predecessors and rejuvenate the future, the long journey begins here.

At the beginning of this year, the imperial court held the imperial examination to recruit talented people from all over the world in Xiajing. So that the people are proud of the imperial examination, and it is also a way to promote the ranks.

After finishing many things, Luo Cheng began to plan another thing. In the north of Yanyun, there are Goguryeo people, who are far from the Central Plains and disrespectful, and they want to conquer it when the Sui Dynasty is in power.

If it weren't for Luo Cheng's appearance, I'm afraid that Yang Guang would really lead his troops to attack Goguryeo three times, but in the end he was defeated and returned. It is precisely because of this that the rebels from all walks of life can defeat them with great strength.

After all, Emperor Wen of Sui left Yang Guang a very sufficient foundation, if he was not too unscrupulous, I am afraid that the current Great Sui is still firmly in the world. can only say that Yang Guangtai has done something, and nothing else.

Now that the Turks have surrendered to Bactria and Goguryeo is close to the northeast corner of Bactria , it would be too lonely to keep it. Naturally, we have to find a way to solve it.

Luo Cheng has never been an indecisive person, as long as he makes a decision, it will be implemented soon. For an existence like Goguryeo, Luo Cheng is even more resolute.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Goguryeo's strength is relatively strong. Don't look at its territory is only so big, but it also has a population of one million and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough for a war.

If there is no such strong strength, in the face of the impact of Yang Guang's million-strong army, it is impossible to win even if the terrain is superior. This is also one of the issues that Luo Cheng needs to consider.

Of course, some things are too straightforward and don't work, and you have to figure them out slowly. It was Luo Cheng who first discussed with Luo Yi, and then sent an envoy to Goguryeo, saluting first and then soldiering.

But this so-called etiquette is obviously impossible to be polite, and Luo Cheng sent people just to ask whether Goguryeo will descend or not. If he is obedient, he will spare his life, if he is disobedient, then it is no wonder that Luo Cheng is ruthless.

This is Luo Cheng's final decision, and strictly speaking, this also represents the will of the entire Great Xia. After all, Luo Cheng, as the highest-ranking Tiance general in the army, is of great significance.

It has been made clear that Luo Yi has full authority to entrust Luo Cheng with this, which is a manifestation of his trust in Luo Cheng. If anyone tries to drive a wedge between their father and son, I'm afraid it will end badly.

So the envoy left Hakyung and went to Pyongyang, the royal city of Goguryeo.

Because Goguryeo's territory is not far from Yanyun, it won't take long to get a reply.

Speaking of Goguryeo, Luo Cheng summoned Du Ru and Xuan Ling, and now that the two are Luo Cheng's subordinates, they naturally have to be cultivated well. Even if they are extremely talented, they cannot be completely left alone.

Luo Cheng looked at the two of them with an indifferent smile and said: "Goguryeo has always been a great disaster in northern Xinjiang, if it really doesn't respect the orders of the imperial court, do you think you want to send troops to conscript?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, but they each understood, and gave an extremely positive answer. Today's Great Xia is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and if Goguryeo does not respect the order, it will naturally be defeated.

The most important thing is that although the current Great Xia is only a place where it was built, the situation is much better than that of the previous dynasty. The world is stable, potatoes and other grains are promoted everywhere, and commerce and trade are ......

Anyway, the current Great Xia is not at all like a country that has just been built, but it has a great heritage, and in the eyes of Fang Du and the others, the conquest of Goguryeo is not a problem at all.

Luo Cheng was somewhat satisfied with this answer, so he nodded slightly and said: "Then if you really send troops to conquer Goguryeo, what countermeasures will you two have, such a big battle, you must plan and then act."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui instantly understood, I am afraid that before asking them, Luo Cheng had a decision. Now is also their chance to articulate their responses.

In addition to the ability of government affairs, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also have the ability to know soldiers. Although they don't have the combat strength of Luo Cheng, there is no problem in commanding an army.

During the Tang Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of scholars was actually very strong, and people like Li Jing and Li Ji were not orthodox generals, but their final achievements were very unexpected.

Of course, Li Ji is also Xu Maogong, in this world of romance, Xu Maogong's ability is obviously more outstanding than Li Ji, whether it is in the strategy of soldiers and horses, or other numerology calculations and the like.

was asked by Luo Cheng about the key point, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling didn't dare to be ambiguous, so they just thought about it carefully. Now in the vicinity of Great Xia, I am afraid that there are only enemies like Goguryeo.

Goguryeo's military strength is strong, but there is still a gap compared with Yanyun's elite. Even if the 100,000 Snapdragon Army makes a move, it can basically be pushed sideways, and I am afraid that its combat effectiveness is not as good as Li Tang's soldiers and horses.

But the problem is that the journey from Bactria to Goguryeo is not so simple. Because of the good greening, the situation is much more complicated, and if you want to defeat Goguryeo, these are the natural lines of defense.

Just like the first emperor's conquest of Lingnan in the past, it took a great deal of money to succeed. But this is obviously not what Luo Cheng wants, if there is no obvious direct effect, what is the use of asking them?

As long as we can get through that line of defense, the situation will be much more stable on the Korean Peninsula. So this is where the key is, and if you can quietly break through its barrier, you will definitely achieve unexpected results.

In addition, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling learned from Luo Cheng that he was going to train the water army, so they had a simple and feasible plan. As long as an army is sent along the coast to raid the belly of Goguryeo, it will be successful.

When the time comes, you can first send a large army to confront it on the Great Xia Frontier, and then attract its attention. In fact, it was to send troops and horses to raid from the sea, and I am afraid that Goguryeo could not have imagined it.

After all, today's seafaring technology is not developed, and it is not yet possible to build a ship that can carry many people. This is true even in the Central Plains, let alone those small and remote countries, which is its limitation.

For this answer, Luo Cheng was also expected, after all, he also planned to do so. What was the purpose of building the ship, in addition to Goguryeo, there was another place where he had a lot of resentment.

It's hard to get through, and if you don't even take the island, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?

After listening to the two of them's answers, Luo Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Since you are my master, you will have to go out with Gu in the future, and some things must be prepared in advance."

Luo Cheng's words suddenly made the eyes of the two of them light up, and it was obvious that they had been recognized by Luo Cheng. This is a good sign, since this period of time, the two have long been convinced of Luo Cheng.

Many times, they can't keep up with Luo Cheng's rhythm at all, this is the gap in the realm. Luo Cheng thinks about things that are obviously deeper and farther, not just focusing on the things in front of him.
