Because the location of this Maqishui is in the hinterland of Goguryeo, if you want to reach the location of the Maqishui Jingguan, you must first pass through Anshi City and Liaodong City, these two huge cities!

These two cities are stuck on the road between Datang and Pyongyang, especially Anshi City, which is built in a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, the surrounding terrain is steep, and the city is guarded by Goguryeo's elite soldiers.

At the beginning, when Emperor Yang came to attack Goguryeo, he brought a full 2 million troops, and in order to take this dangerous pass, he paid a very heavy price.

Therefore, if you want to go directly from Anshi City through a sneak attack, it is basically impossible, not to mention, after Anshi City, there is also a Liaodong City!

The same Xiongguan is dangerous, and the same is guarded by Goguryeo's elite soldiers, and it is simply difficult to rely on an army and pass unscathed!

This is the reason why after Li Er's voice fell at this moment, the veterans in the conference room only looked at the map and remained silent!

Because, if they want to watch the surprise attack and achieve the goal of destroying the Jingguan, the danger they have to go through makes them unable to raise any excitement at all!

In addition to this land route, it is the road through the sea, just like the Ninth Route Army sent by Emperor Yang, with a total of 300,000 troops, secretly entering the Liao River by sea.

Then, enter the south bank of Maqishui from the Liao River, directly destroy the Jingguan, collect those bones, and then come down from the Liao River, still leaving from the sea!

Compared with the danger of the land route, this sea passage is obviously much less dangerous, of course, this refers to the original 300,000 troops!

Because, there are more than one million main forces under the city of Liaodong. Basically, all the troops on both sides of the Liao River were attracted to Liaodong City, so when the 300,000 troops secretly went north along the river, they basically did not encounter much danger along the way.

However, this is no longer the case. No one understands the specific situation of the defense on both sides of the Liao River today, but one thing is for sure, the defense on both sides of the river must be much tighter than it was at the beginning!

And, more importantly, the Goguryeo people are not stupid. Entering the Liao River from the sea, this is obviously a convenient way, not to mention the 300,000 troops of the previous dynasty, as a lesson from the past, the place to enter the Liao River, there must be a heavy defense!

Therefore, if you want to enter the Liao River from the sea, you must first solve this defensive gap. And, when it comes to settling. You can't alarm Anshi City and Liaodong City yet!

Otherwise, once the city of Anshi is alarmed, then the next thing should not be to consider whether it can destroy Jingguan and collect those bones and go home!

Rather, you have to think first. How to escape from the encirclement of the army alive!

"How many people does Your Majesty plan to send?" Frowning and looking at the location of Ma Yanshui on the map, he muttered slightly for a moment, and then Li Jing turned around. Looking at Li Er, he asked tentatively.

He has already carefully calculated, if he really wants to use an army to quietly destroy Jingguan from the past of the Goguryeo people and hide from the Goguryeo people, then the only way is to be light and simple, and fight quickly!

Therefore, the number of people in this army must not be too much, too much is a burden, under the heavy army of the Goguryeo people, the concept of 100,000 and 10,000 is actually the same.

Once discovered by the Goguryeo people, 100,000 people, like the concept of 10,000 people, are unbearable, and Goguryeo's heavy army attacks, so it is best to do it without being discovered by the Goguryeo people.

In this way, it is natural that the number of people should not be too much, and it is enough to destroy the Jingguan and collect those bones, but too much will make the grain and grass heavy, and it will become a burden!

"The army of the Sixteen Guards can't move!" When Li Er heard Li Jing's words, he took a slight breath, suddenly looked at the map and said, "This surprise attack on Ma Yanshui can be regarded as a secret operation that I have decided in private, so there are too few troops that I can secretly send!" ”

The matter of Goguryeo, because of the four large-scale pro-conquests of the previous dynasty, has now become an invisible nightmare for many people.

Even if you don't have to think about it, you can probably guess that at that time, I am afraid that the entire court will blow a storm until Li Er completely cancels this plan!

Most of the civil officials can't personally understand the heart-wrenching pain of the people in the gate, which cannot be described in words!

Therefore, because of this, in order to dispel this idea, they may not hesitate to put down their positions and negotiate with the Goguryeo people, and when the Goguryeo people agree, they will immediately send someone over to collect all the bones.

Without spending a single soldier, it can also achieve the goal of destroying Jingguan, and, most importantly, now Goguryeo is establishing a diplomatic relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there can be no problem at this time.

But this is not acceptable to Jiangmen, because the 300,000 soldiers in Jingguan were not killed in Goguryeo, but were slaughtered by Goguryeo after being captured!

300,000 unjust souls, in the land of Goguryeo, roared for more than ten years!

The previous dynasty failed to take them home, and if Datang used a negotiation method to take them all home, even if they could return to their hometown, they could only be humiliated forever!

Shame can only be washed away with blood, and the Tang Dynasty does not have enough energy to make a move against Goguryeo, so at present, it can only destroy Goguryeo's Jingguan through a surprise attack.

This is the only dignified way to keep the door!

Li Er's voice fell, and the veterans who were originally looking at the map, almost at the same time, all looked at Zhao Chen, the expression on their faces was slightly surprised, and their eyes were even more suspicious.

The Sixteen Guards Army can't move, and in addition to the Sixteen Guards, it seems that what can be requisitioned is the Flying Tiger Army in the military courtyard and the new military camp that has just been formed, and these two armies are both in charge of Zhao Chen.

Being stared at by everyone in the conference room so directly, Zhao Chen sat there and wanted to laugh, but unfortunately later, he only moved the corners of his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly at the veterans.

In fact. From the beginning when Li Er asked him to hurry up, in August, he had to train the new army, and later, he suddenly asked him for the drawings of shipbuilding, at that time. Zhao Chen already had doubts in his heart.

It's just that although he roughly guessed in his heart that Li Er might send the new army to the southern region, he didn't expect that he would be sent to Goguryeo in the end.

Moreover, still performing such a task!

"Your Majesty, doesn't you want the Flying Tiger Army and the New Army to complete this surprise attack mission?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes were filled with disbelief. Looking at Zhao Chen for a moment, he raised his head, looked at Li Er in disbelief, opened his mouth slightly, and asked tentatively.

"The New Army and the Flying Tiger Army are only 2,000 people!" Li Er's eyes also looked at Zhao Chen, after hearing Cheng Yanjin's words. Li Er couldn't help but take a slight breath, then looked at everyone and said, "This surprise attack mission." At the very least, you need 10,000 troops! ”

When he said this, Li Er's gaze suddenly turned to Cheng Yanjin and said, "So, not only the Flying Tiger Army and the New Army, but also the Lingnan Sailors!" ”

"Sailor?" When Li Er's words fell, most of the people present couldn't help but be stunned. There was a look of doubt in his eyes, but after a while, he reacted all of a sudden, and they all looked at Cheng Yanjin.

"Your Majesty, the Lingnan Sailor has only been established for a few months!" Cheng Biting Jin's expression. After hearing Li Er's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but before he could speak, Zhao Chen, who had been sitting there without speaking, had already spoken first.

Zhao Chen didn't speak before, that was because this matter had been expected a little earlier, but now when he heard Li Er talk about it, he actually let the sailor who had just been established also participate in this surprise attack, and he suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Of course I know!" When Li Er heard Zhao Chen's words, he seemed to know what Zhao Chen wanted to say, glanced at Cheng Yanjin, turned to Zhao Chen and said, "However, this is not what I meant, but the Lingnan Navy Admiral, Cheng Chumo requested!" ”

Seeing everyone in the conference room, they couldn't help but be stunned, Li Er took a slight breath, and then looked at everyone and explained: "This matter, I have actually been preparing for a long time, and I originally planned to train a navy from Jiangnan, but later after Chang'an Hou played and suggested the establishment of a sailor in Lingnan, I changed my mind!" ”

"Your Majesty means that Cheng Chumo knew early on that the sailor would go to Goguryeo in the future?" Hearing Li Er talk about this, Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at Li Er and asked.

"Not really!" When Li Er heard this, his eyes stared at Zhao Chen, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then explained: "It was I who later sent the eldest grandson to serve as the Sima of Guangzhou, and inadvertently let Cheng Chumo know!" ”

The following words, even if you don't need Li Er to say it again, Zhao Chen can naturally guess it, with Cheng Chumo's temperament, since he knows about this matter, if he doesn't want to find a way to participate in this matter, it will not be Cheng Chumo.

"Is it just these people?" Li Er's voice fell, and Li Ji over there frowned slightly, looked at Li Er, and asked with some worry in his eyes.

"This surprise attack is about the honor and disgrace of the gate!" Hearing Li Ji's words, Li Er's eyes looked at the people in front of him, and after a slight groan, he said, "So, I hope that you Aiqing can also send your respective escort army!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, all the noble generals have a different number of guards and guards, just like the guards under Zhao Chen, they are all elite people selected from their respective armies.

Whether it is the combat effectiveness of these people, or the ability to adapt to the situation, it is incomparable to ordinary soldiers, once these people are formed into an army, the combat effectiveness is terrifying to imagine!

"Since Your Majesty has said it, the last general is willing to send all the escort troops under his command to be sent by Your Majesty!" Li Er's voice fell, and there was a slight silence in the conference room for a moment, and then, Hou Junji, who was listening, was the first to stand up and bow to Li Eryi, and spoke.

"It's also one of the kings!"

"The little cubs under the old minister have been arguing for a long time, and they are rusty in the house!"

"Coincidentally, those killers in the old man's mansion are also shouting all day long!"

“……”

"Then this time, who does Your Majesty plan to send?" Li Er's words fell, and the veterans present immediately shouted one by one, expressing their willingness to send their guards out, however, when everyone finished speaking, Lao Qin, who had been silent, looked at Li Er and asked.

In fact, this answer has long been said by Li Er, and it has been obvious to let the two armies of the Military Academy participate!

Sure enough, when Lao Qin looked at Li Er and asked this, not only Li Er, but also other people in the conference room, at this time, they all looked at Zhao Chen in unison.

Since Zhao Chen knew that this time the Lingnan Sailor went to Goguryeo at Cheng Chumo's own request, he had been sitting there silently, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes had been staring at a corner of the conference room.

Until this time, when everyone's eyes were all staring at him, as if waiting for his answer, Zhao Chen, who was originally silent, suddenly closed his eyes, raised his head and took a long breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he simply said under the gaze of everyone: "I am willing to go to Goguryeo!"
