961, Joint Command

"Joint Command?" Kindman asked.

"Your Majesty, our Datang plan to integrate the army of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the army of Silla, and finally the combined army of the Xi and the Yan tribe, and then carry out a certain ratio. We have united the armed forces and formed a common joint command. In this way, all our armies will be commanded by a joint command, so as to avoid the element of unclear orders. Your Majesty, you should also know that the most taboo thing in military combat is the lack of clarity of command, which is the case with any army. If the command authority is not clear, then there will definitely be loopholes everywhere in the battle, and in the end, it will fail. So in order to avoid these accidents, we let the Goguryeo people pick up the cheap, so we might as well settle the matter. So I thought that the establishment of this joint command was imperative. Jingwen said.

Jingwen, the joint command, actually sounds good, after all, many armies are like this. However, this kind of alliance of different countries can be said to be that after all, any commander wants to let the army of the "ally" take the lead and pick up the bargain himself. Therefore, the multinational joint command is definitely very insidious, and it is completely possible to let the armies of the allies go to their deaths, and their own armies will follow behind to pick up the cheap. And it was also very obvious before, the Tang Dynasty not only sent those Xi and Ya tribe coalition troops to send them to death once, but now there are only 20,000 of the 30,000 coalition troops left, and they are also the substitutes for the Tang army. However, Jingwen doesn't have any pity, after all, dead friends don't die poor, this is a consistent style.

"Joint command is not a problem, but how are these positions distributed? And the benefits at that time, how to distribute? Kindman asked.

After all, Jindeman is the king of a country, so he naturally attaches great importance to interests. This time, Silla and the Tang Dynasty united to destroy Goguryeo, in fact, they just wanted to take the opportunity to obtain a large amount of land, so that Silla could rise. As for Datang. Silla believed that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to continue to occupy these lands. In the future, the territory of the Korean Peninsula will be given to Silla, and the Korean Peninsula is the target of Silla. Therefore, Jindeman wants to take advantage of this opportunity to clarify the division of interests as much as possible, but Jingwen will not make it clear so early.

"Your Majesty, this should be who contributes more, and then divide it." Jingwen said.

"Hmm!" Kindman didn't say much.

"Her Majesty the Queen, the military affairs department of our Eastern Expeditionary Corps of the Tang Dynasty is also the place where the battle plan is formulated, and we have formulated the battle plan, which will be brought to the emperor and the queen for review, if you all agree. Then we can do it according to the plan. Jingwen said.

"Yes, I've also heard Shengman say that your military department is an important assistant to the commander-in-chief, able to formulate battle plans and supervise the implementation of the army's battle plans. I also plan to set up a corresponding thing in the Silla army, which will help improve the combat effectiveness of the Silla army. Kindman said.

And Jingwen was speechless, this Jin Shengman actually told Jindeman all this thing. This Jin Shengman really doesn't know what to marry and obey his husband, what to marry a chicken and a dog to marry a dog, and he actually sued Jindeman for all these things from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so that Jindeman can set up these staff officers? However, Jingwen didn't think that Silla would be able to learn the corresponding things well. Because these staff officers must have a sufficient culture to be competent. Silla is currently a bone system, so it is impossible for them to be able to open up their culture to ordinary people.

"General Jingwen, you Datang kind of people can explode. Can the kind of weapon that demolished the city wall at once directly tear down the wall of this Goguryeo city of Pyongyang? Kindman asked.

Jing Wen really has nothing to say to that Jin Shengman, with such a female spy by his side, what can be kept secret? However, this kind of thing can't be kept secret for too long, and it won't be long before it will be revealed. So Jingwen didn't have any surprises. Now that Kindman says that, it seems that he is tempted by this thing. If the Tang Dynasty can "demolish" the city of Goguryeo, it may bring great benefits. The casualties of the siege could be reduced a lot.

After all, Pyongyang was the capital of Goguryeo, and all kinds of defensive facilities were stronger than those of Liaodong City at that time. Since ancient times, the protection of the capital of any country has been very strict, and most of the various defense facilities have been prioritized in the capital, so Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is not a soft persimmon, and if it is attacked directly, the loss will be great. Jindeman also wanted the Tang Dynasty to tear down the walls of Goguryeo as much as possible, so that the Silla army could pick up the cheap behind.

"Although this thing is very powerful, it also has limitations. That's because he's afraid of water, and the Goguryeo people know this. So we had to start bombing from the ground, and we knew that. So it's not so easy to collapse the city wall by relying on this. And during this time, the Goguryeo people should still be strengthening the city wall, so we should not expect to directly collapse the city wall. However, we can use it as a secondary means and then kill a lot of enemies. Jingwen said.

"Then General Jingwen, do you have any plans for this attack on Pyongyang?" Kindman asked.

Jingwen shook his head and said, "At present, the information is not available, so we don't have a detailed plan yet. But I think as long as the corresponding things come over, then we can get the corresponding plan. ”

Now none of those scouts have come to report back, so Jingwen doesn't have any information in Goguryeo Pyongyang, so there will be no battle plan. Operational plans are based on sufficient intelligence data, and without intelligence data, operational plans cannot be formulated.

"Report! The emperor, General Jingwen, there is a Goguryeo envoy outside who asks to see him, he claims to be the envoy of the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu, and he wants to see the emperor! The herald staff officer at the door said.

Hearing this, Jingwen was really speechless for this Goguryeo man, and he also sent an envoy over at this time, I am afraid that he just wanted to persuade the Tang army to retreat! But at this time, can Datang still withdraw from the army? So Jingwen really convinced them of Goguryeo's brainless and unrealistic ideas. Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, you are not well prepared for defense, and you are still thinking about how to persuade Datang to withdraw from the army? (To be continued......)
