Chapter 575: Aim, Jian'an City
Liu Hongji's sailors who had already appeared to deal with only the sailors on the side of Beisha City, and it was not a difficult task to call back and forth, but in the end, Quangai Suwen, who was far away in Pyongyang City, still learned about the situation at sea and ordered 30,000 Goguryeo sailors to set off from Pyongyang City and go to Beisha City to meet Liu Hongji.

As a result, Liu Hongji's burden was much heavier, and among the sailors, there were not many people to transport supplies to Beisha City.
Fortunately, when they landed in Beisha City before, the vanguard army had already brought a lot of supplies, and intercepted a batch of supplies from Anshi City on the way, so they would not be worried within seven days of frugality, but if the plan to cheat the grain and grass of Anshi City failed this time, seven days later, the vanguard army had to take the initiative to find trouble in Anshi City.
In the palace, Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong couldn't help but be silent when they talked about the Tang Dynasty's sailors, no one knows what the specific situation is on the water division's side, and the most important thing now is to manage the situation in front of them, and not let the Tang soldiers in Beisha City starve is the right way.
"If this plan fails, Lord Wang, I'm afraid the last general will really have to take people out to loot, and fighting to feed the war is the best countermeasure." Xuan Shijing said.
Listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Li Daozong's eyes fell on the map on the bookcase, this map is also the masterpiece of the scouts sent out in the past few days, the original map, and the current situation in Liaodong, are still a little surprised.
"There are three cities around Anshi City that can hoard grain and grass, among which Gaimu City is only more than thirty miles away from Anshi City, the distance is too close, our people, once they appear in Gai Mucheng, Anshi City will immediately react, we want to run, I'm afraid it will be laborious." Li Daozong said, and then stretched out his finger.
"Here, Qianyu City, is the farthest city from us, but it is also the city with the least number of troops among the three cities, and this king estimates that three thousand vanguard troops can take it."
"But the distance is hard, it is impossible for our vanguard army to disperse our forces to defend such a city within the Goguryeo forces, even if we loot this city, the grain and grass obtained will be transported back to Beisha City, once the grain and grass are transported, the speed of the march will definitely be greatly reduced." Xuan Shijing said: "Lord Wang, let's talk about Jian'an City." ”
Jian'an City, the last of the five cities on the Liaodong Peninsula, if you talk about it, Jian'an City is the closest one to Beisha City, just like Beisha City, it is also a coastal city, and there are 20,000 Goguryeo sailors stationed in the city, but after the sailors of the Tang Dynasty on the sea and the sailors of Beisha City fought, they have already dispatched eighty percent of the troops to deal with Liu Hongji.
"The scale of Jian'an City is comparable to that of Anshi City, and it is still a little difficult to build An'an City." Li Daozong stroked his beard and said: "If you really want to take Jian'an City, the loss of the vanguard army will be immeasurable. ”
"The geographical location of Jian'an City is special, and the general wants to give it a try, and the number of people does not need to be too much, and the headquarters can be three hundred." Xuan Shijing said.
"Three hundred? Xuanhou can't be reckless, this is the battlefield of Liaodong, not the imperial capital Chang'an. Li Daozong admonished.
Three hundred people went to Jian'an, which made it clear that they were going to die.
"For the sake of today, if you don't try it, how will you know if you can't? There is not much food and grass in the city, and if it goes on like this, it is also a helpless situation, it is better to give it a go, the vanguard army, what to do is to clear the obstacles, and now how can it be done if you can't even overcome this little obstacle? Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Having said that, but Xuanhou, this king has to say that it is a good thing to have ambition, but on the battlefield, everything has to be done according to his ability." Li Daozong said bitterly.
No matter what method is used, three hundred people, Li Daozong asked himself, he can't do it, although Xuan Shijing has a good mind, courage and strategy, but the innate gap is huge, and he can't bear it by himself.
"That's it, it's nothing to tell the prince the truth, and the prince also knows that there is a chamber of commerce in Xiaohou's mansion, which can barely be regarded as a big business, and it just so happens that the chamber of commerce also has some business in Goguryeo, if you simply want to get some grain and grass back, it's still very simple." Xuan Shijing said.
If there is a problem on the side of Beisha City, the five thousand vanguard army will not be able to keep it, and even Xuan Shijing and the three hundred soldiers of Dongshan County will have to get in, as the saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest, that's the truth, so Xuan Shijing plans to use the power of the Chamber of Commerce in Jian'an City.
Not to mention how strong the guards of the Chamber of Commerce are, but it is still possible to do an internal response, as long as the three hundred soldiers of the government have brought all the supplies, let alone get some grain and grass, even if it is to stir up this Jian'an City, it is not impossible.
Everything is about people.
"I see." Li Daozong suddenly realized: "Xuanhou is going to use the power of your mansion?" ”
"Yes, no matter what the power is, as long as it works." Xuan Shijing smiled: "On the battlefield, it's important to save your life, maybe there will be any unexpected gains over there in Jian'an City, or maybe you can take Jian'an City and give Liu Hongji's sailor a camp." ”
Xuan Shijing's words, Li Daozong only thought that he was joking, three hundred people, all of them could come back alive, thank God, the rest of the words, just to comfort him.
After all, the family happened to have business in Goguryeo, not.
Don't say that the Dongshan Marquis Mansion is on his Li Daozong's Mansion, no, it should be said that it is under his command, and there are also many caravans coming and going to Goguryeo, which is not a secret in the circle of Chang'an, which noble family has no business, but it is only Xuan Shijing who dares to use these relationships on the battlefield in Liaodong so grandly.
Whether it is Xuan Shijing's identity or age, or the environment in Chang'an, no one dares to pursue these things about Xuan Shijing.
"If Xuanhou wants to go to Jian'an, he can bring a thousand vanguard troops to deal with everything." Li Daozong thought for a while and said.
Suddenly, one-fifth of the troops were distributed to Xuan Shijing, and Li Daozong was still very generous, because in this way, the remaining troops in Beisha City were only enough to defend against Anshi City.
After this battle, the 5,000 vanguard army lost more than 100 people, and the rest, in addition to the scouts sent, there were 1,000 people to Xuan Shijing, and more than 3,700 people defended the city.
"No, in this operation, the general thinks that the fewer people the better, it is hidden enough, and if you can't beat it, you can still run, and if there are more people, the target will be bigger." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
