After arranging the main persons in charge of government affairs and the navy, seeing that everyone's mood was almost the same, Qin Feng said: "I believe some of you have understood the situation in Goguryeo before this. The place where the big fart of Goguryeo www.biquge.info is purely poor mountains and bad waters, they are sparsely populated, poor and backward, their weapons are not as sharp as those of the Central Plains, and their armor is not as tough as the Central Plains, in fact, their overall strength is not strong. But this group of poor bastards can make Yang Jian fail miserably and shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, which shows that there is something special about it. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and if we want to succeed, we must face up to Goguryeo and face up to what they are difficult to deal with. Only in this way can we overcome it. ”

Liu Renliang said: "The general's words are reasonable, and the book of war is cloudy: knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and only by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy can we be invincible." Goguryeo is a tough nut to crack. In my opinion, this battle is to win steadily, step by step, and make yourself invincible. Don't give Goguryeo a chance to take advantage of, and then seek victory in stability and look for a fighter to win. But the previous dynasty was blind and arrogant, looked down on Goguryeo, and couldn't see each other's strengths and weaknesses, and defeat was a normal thing. ”

Luo Tong bowed his head and said: "The last general agrees with Mr. Liu's opinion, the last general has recently carefully studied the war between the previous dynasty and Goguryeo, and found that they all have a common characteristic with each other...... Underestimate the enemy. Yang Jian inherited the strength of the Northern Zhou regime, and after the usurpation, there was no decent threat to the surrounding area except for the Turks. After easily destroying the unification of Nan Chen, the only fierce rival Turks also split under their planning, and made the Turks revered as a saint khan. It can be said that throughout the ages, no founding emperor has been as easy as Yang Jian. Goguryeo's strength was not strong, and Yang Jian was too smooth, so when Goguryeo provoked the previous dynasty, Yang Jian did not hesitate to mobilize 300,000 troops to conquer. It can also be seen from the generals sent that Yang Jian did not take Goguryeo to heart at all......"

The generals who knew that period of history all nodded in agreement.

At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian led an army of 300,000 by sea and land with the Han kings Yang Liangxie Gao Gong, Wang Shiji and the general Zhou Luohu to attack Goguryeo. Yang Liang is of course the commander, but the crowd of the three armies is obviously in the hands of Gao Gong and Wang Shiji, and they are just named after the prince according to the convention, just like Ping Chen Yang Guang was the named coach at the beginning.

Gao Gong and Wang Shiji are both famous generals who have experienced a hundred battles, the former is shrewd and capable, fighting outside and inside, and leveling Nanchen, and his military exploits are particularly brilliant; The latter destroyed Chen, and Dingyuzhang, Luling, and Xunyang were also invincible. However, when they attacked Goguryeo, they marched straight ahead, marching together with an army of 300,000 land and water. As a result, the navy encountered a strong wind at sea, and many ships sank. As soon as the Sui Dynasty navy broke down to rest, it allowed the advance troops of Goguryeo to attack. The commander of the waterway, Zhou Luohu, had previously lost his troops and lost his vitality, allowing Goguryeo to be defeated. However, Gao Gong and Wang Shiji went too deep into the hinterland, which led to the same tragedy as Li Shimin in the future, and the key fortresses could not be overcome, and the army completely dragged Goguryeo down. Because it was too deep into the hinterland, the battle line was stretched and the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied, which directly led to the rout of the 300,000-strong army, and ninety percent of the soldiers and horses were left on the land of Goguryeo.

In all fairness, if he hadn't carelessly underestimated Goguryeo, with the military standards of Gao Gong and Wang Shiji, even if he couldn't win Goguryeo, he would have been like Li Shimin later, and it would not be difficult to retreat calmly after achieving rich results, because in the past, he had strong troops and was able to hit the egg with a stone, and he was careless to underestimate the enemy, and as a result, the egg broke the stone.

As for the later Yang Guang, several million-strong armies attacked Goguryeo...... Hey, that's the joke! Luo Tong pursed his lips and said no more.

Xue Rengui smiled and continued: "They all underestimate Goguryeo, maybe Goguryeo is not strong, but they have a unique geographical advantage. And it's very good at taking advantage of this.,It's definitely not an object to be underestimated.。 Stability is the best way to deal with Goguryeo. ”

Qin Feng admired, sure enough, none of the generals who could rank in this period were mediocre, and they had the same opinion as Qin Feng.

Goguryeo and the Turkic nature is just the opposite, fighting Goguryeo is seeking to be fast, to be unexpectedly fast, while to fight Goguryeo is to seek stability, step by step, not to give them a chance to counterattack who are good at defending and counterattacking, and then seeking the opportunity for a decisive battle.

"Everyone's views on the regrets of the previous dynasty and the strategies they came up with are not in line with my ideas!" Qin Feng's gaze swept in front of everyone and said: "However, seeking victory in stability is the way for the imperial court to march into the army on a large scale, but we are not, so this kind of tactic has nothing to do with us." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but when they understood, they couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly.

Oh, yes!

This time, it was to support the survivors of the previous dynasty, to make waves in Goguryeo in the name of the survivors, and to seek victory in stability, no matter how good the tactics of one step at a time were not suitable for this operation.

"General, do you have a map?" Ma Zhou asked.

Qin Feng smiled: "Map? Don't do that! Then, he motioned to Qiang Jianfan and Li Mu, and the two of them left quickly, and after a while, several guards carried out a shocking thing.

"This, this is a sand table?" Everyone's eyes turned into light bulbs.

That's right, this is the sand table that Qin Feng made out with a group of craftsmen during his rest.

Qin Feng made the East Asian version of the sand table, when he was in the army before, he didn't come into contact with this thing, for the convenience of doing things, it was almost deeply engraved in his mind, although he didn't know how to do it himself, but there was no shortage of good craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Feng was responsible for guidance, and the craftsmen were responsible for doing it, after more than a month of hard work, it was finally made.

Looking at the mountains and rivers, and being able to know at a glance what the place is, the eyes of everyone sitting suddenly lit up.

Ma Zhou said excitedly: "The previous sand table analysis is slightly lacking, if it is really applied to the war, I am afraid there will be some discrepancies." And this sand table made by the general is simply a miniature version of the topographic map of the world, even people who can't read the map can recognize it. ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "On the battlefield, the slightest discrepancy may determine the final victory of the war!" Therefore, in order to be able to see the form of both sides on the battlefield at a glance, in order to provide more vivid and intuitive information to the commander of the army, the integrity of this sand table is very important! Even if the sand table in front of you is still imperfect, my Datang's territory is okay, and the error is not big. But the terrain of Goguryeo still needs to be improved, I have never been to Goguryeo, and I don't know anything about Goguryeo, I only know that the terrain there is harsh. The situation is complicated. The previous military map was not enough to show the key, and the Goguryeo on this sand table was discovered by a friend living in Changbai Mountain for more than ten years. Among them, a detailed sand table is drawn according to the small paths and trails mastered by the visitors to and from the east to the west. But despite this, there are still some things that need to be improved, and this is one of our tasks in Youzhou. Now you can take a closer look. It is good to have a general understanding of Goguryeo. Okay, you guys are studying in the palace, and I'll go to the royal family and exchange another identical sand table for some useful qualifications for us. After speaking, let the five guards carry another sand table to the palace.

Everyone laughed out loud, the value of this sand table is self-evident, with Li Shi's trust and favor in Qin Feng, he will definitely try his best to meet Qin Feng's requirements.

Li Shimin had just left the early court when he heard the news that Qin Feng was waiting for him in the Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin knew very well that Qin Feng was preparing to take office recently, and he did not summon him, seeing that he was sent to the door today, he believed that he was ready. So he walked briskly to the temple of manna.

When he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin found that there was a large table in the center of the hall, on which was placed something that he didn't know what it was, because it was covered with silk.

"What's the matter with you kid? This can't be this thing, right? Li Shimin smiled and pointed to the sand table and said.

"Father-in-law, this is no ordinary thing. It took me and the craftsmen nearly a month to make the baby, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's worth a thousand gold, and you'll fall in love with it at first sight. Qin Feng motioned for Li Shimin to come forward and unveil it.

"I want to see what the hell you kid does, if it's not worth a thousand gold, don't blame me for cleaning you up." Qin Feng's help made Li Shimin curious, he took a few steps forward, gently uncovered the silk, the silk slid down, and suddenly revealed the true face of Lushan in the sand table.

"This, this is a sand table?" The vivid sand table, mountains, rivers, and cities, and the comprehensive and complete terrain of the Tang Dynasty suddenly amazed Li Shimin. He was amazed, and directly forgot about Qin Feng, and threw himself on the sand table, carefully looking at the Tang Dynasty territory presented in a reduced way. The eyes that looked at the sand table were like hungry wolves seeing their prey, and they were green and shining.

Staring at the sand table for a long time, Li Shimin let out a sigh of admiration with emotion, and at the same time looked at Qin Feng's eyes full of happiness and joy.

"Father-in-law, how about this gift? Is it worth a thousand dollars? ”

"Worth it, it's worth it. How did you come up with it? ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "My Datang craftsmen are the most outstanding craftsmen in the world, and even the magnificent imperial city has been made, and this small sand table can't stop them at all." It's just that everyone didn't think about presenting the Datang version in this way before. The difficulty in making this sand table is that the topographic maps of the states are not complete and detailed, otherwise the error will be smaller. The craftsmen borrowed by the son-in-law all know what the sand table is all about, and the way of making it will not be difficult for them. The son-in-law suggested that the father-in-law should give you the most detailed maps from the state, county, and county officials, and then make the sand table one by one by the craftsmen, so that you can know what is going on in the world when you are in the palace, and you can find a place on the sand table and formulate the most timely and correct countermeasures according to the facts. ”

"It should be, it should be. I'm going to make an order, I'm going to make an order" Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, and he was about to become a repeater.
