Chapter 477: Strategy
Listening to Xuan Shijing's words, several people present nodded, don't say whether to fight or not, what Xuan Shijing said is fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Beisha City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, facing the mountains, the mountains are rich in resources, as long as the army of Goguryeo reacts and arrives at Beisha City, the Tang army has enough firewood and hoards enough armaments, it can easily hold Beisha City, and the Tang Dynasty naval army will also rely on Beisha City to be stationed in the harbor, so that whether it is on the ground or at sea, it is more than enough to hold Beisha City, and the mobility of the naval army is strong, and by the way, it is no problem to bear the military transportation of the Tang Army, but since then, It will be a great test of Datang's naval army.
"According to Jing'er, you want to capture Beisha City first?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
Xuan Shijing shook his head and said with a smile: "No, if you only attack Beisha City, it will be very difficult to hold Beisha City, because when the time comes, there will be Goguryeo troops all around, and the Tang army that entered Beisha City is a lone army, and the main force to capture Beisha City is the naval army, which is not good at land warfare and defending the city. The army on land drove directly to Liaodong City. ”
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he nodded again and again, Xuan Shijing's thoughts coincided with him, but for the role of Beisha City and the role of the naval army, Xuan Shijing said in more detail, and, according to Xuan Shijing's statement, the importance of Beisha City and the naval army in the entire Liaodong war situation is self-evident.
"Liaodong City, if Anshi City is the gateway to Goguryeo, then Liaodong City is the barrier of Goguryeo, Liaodong City is close to Liaoshui, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as the first goal of the Tang Dynasty's eastward expansion, conquering Liaodong City can only win, not defeat, so the generals who lead the army to attack Liaodong City are particularly important." Xuan Shijing's finger moved to Liaodong City, and in front of Liaodong City, it happened to be Liaoshui.
Xuan Shijing looked at the map and thought for a while, and then said: "While attacking Liaodong City, we must also consider the reinforcements of the Goguryeo side, behind Liaodong City is the domestic name and Gebe, both cities are military cities, once Liaodong City is fought, the soldiers and horses in the two cities will definitely come to reinforce Liaodong City, if you don't want the war to be stalemate, so, take Liaodong City, but also quickly, attack Liaodong City, if you don't move, move, as much as possible to fight." ”
"It only takes four days for Cheng and Ge to march from Liaodong City, which is still the reason why most of them are mountain roads, in fact, if you attack Liaodong City and enter a stalemate, you can send a force of soldiers and horses to ambush on the mountain road between the two cities and Liaodong City, and it will be a big victory." Liu Hongji stepped forward, pointed to the mountain range between Chengcheng and Liaodong City, and said: "In this way, it can not only intercept the reinforcements from the two cities, but also give the army behind enough time to conquer Liaodong City." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang just stood aside, listening silently, without making a word, now His Majesty's meaning is very clear, this battle must be fought, I didn't see the four of them, have they all begun to study how this battle is fought.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed silently in his heart, no matter what, Liaodong is also a matter of heart for Datang, it is good to be early, anyway, sooner or later, when to fight or not.
Thinking about it this way, it also has a bit of a broken jar, anyway, Your Majesty, you can just be happy, just fight, it's a big deal to arrange a few of your own juniors to the army when the time comes, and you won't suffer.
Thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, once the war in Liaodong starts, the role played by the Tang Navy is very important, the minister feels that if His Majesty is determined to fight, this sailor, I'm afraid that he will have to give an order now, hurry up and get into the water to practice, this time it is from Pingzhou Port to Beisha City, the sailing distance is long, the sea situation is complicated, for the sailor, it is also a major test, even if he overcomes the difficulties and dangers at sea, to Beisha City, if the soldier's combat ability is not one in ten, it is also in vain." ”
"The auxiliary machine is right, until July, there are still three months of effort, and in these three months, I will order the naval army to train as soon as possible to deal with the war in Liaodong, and all the military expenses required will be provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." His Majesty Li Er said with a wave of his hand.
Speaking of which, sending troops to attack Goguryeo in July this year has become a settlement, and no one can recover it, since this battle is going to be fought, it is best to fight it beautifully, and I hope that the struggle between Gao Jianwu and Quangai Suwen will not end so early.
The Tang Dynasty wants to send troops to attack Goguryeo, and everyone hopes that in this internal struggle in Goguryeo, Quangai Suwen will be able to compete for more energy, so that the Tang Dynasty will send troops, which is justified, because now there is a Gao Huanquan here in Chang'an, who is the crown prince of the Eight Classics, once Quangai Suwen wins in the internal struggle of Goguryeo, then the Tang Dynasty will directly take Gao Huanquan to Goguryeo.
No matter how bad Gao Huanquan is, he also accounts for the word "orthodoxy", and no matter how heroic he is, he is also a rebel.
One of the main purposes of Gao Huanquan's visit to Chang'an City last year was to ask Datang for assistance, and now, Datang should also give Gao Huanquan a clear answer.
And His Majesty Li Er said that all the expenses of the navy were provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which means that sending troops to Liaodong to attack Goguryeo does not need to be careless at all on the side of the treasury, so that the household department has nothing to say, and the household department has no money, where does it have the right to speak in the court.
The current Internal Affairs Office is extraordinary, speaking of the Internal Affairs Office, Xuan Shijing's heart is also a pump, maybe most of the money in the Internal Affairs Office is still from the Tang Chamber of Commerce, Xuan Shijing wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an City, and gave the shares of the Tang Chamber of Commerce to Li Chengqian's brothers, but now look at it, in addition to building a warm pavilion back then, the brothers have not been rich over the years, this money, maybe let them pay filial piety to His Majesty Li Er.
But it's understandable to do this, as a prince, what do you want to do with so much money in your hands? It is better to hand over all the money, at least it will not make people suspicious, perhaps because of this, His Majesty Li Er did not act immediately after knowing that the former Sui ministers were in Chang'an, and did not become suspicious of Li Ke or anything, but patiently waited for Li Ke's attitude. If Li Ke hoarded all the dividends of the Chamber of Commerce in the mansion or sent them away from Chang'an, then now the affairs of these former Sui ministers, even if Li Ke has ten mouths, he can't tell clearly.
