Jingwen took this plan of combat thinking and got it to Li Shimin's handsome account, and Li Shimin, the emperor, was the emperor himself, so of course he was the commander himself. And Jingwen took the battle plan, so he naturally had to bring it to the emperor for personal review, and then it could be truly promulgated and implemented.

When Jingwen came to the Shuai Tent, he first saw his student Gao Kan explaining the general situation of the army to Li Shimin, pointing to the map to introduce the current composition of the army. Gao Kan is currently selected by Li Shimin to be his attendant staff officer, so it is also his duty to introduce Li Shimin to the composition of the army. Gao Kan saw Jingwen coming, and didn't take the initiative to say hello, just nodded, signaling that he understood.

"Jingwen, you're here, are you here to report the battle plan? What battle plan did you come up with? Li Shimin asked.

Normally, Jingwen goes on the expedition as the commander, but now he is on the expedition as the Minister of War, and his role has changed. Originally, Jingwen only needed to make the final decision, but now he just needs to be a staff officer, so this role must be changed.

"Your Majesty, this is also our battle plan!" Jingwen said.

And Li Shimin took a look at it and was obviously satisfied. Because this battle plan is not distinctive, it is also advanced step by step, and then it will compete with Goguryeo for one city and one pool. Although this plan could not be passed on to Goguryeo, it could consume Goguryeo's vital forces and various materials to the greatest extent possible, and in the end, Goguryeo could not support and collapsed, which could be regarded as a victory.

And this plan is actually very scoundrel, using the abundant resources, food, and various advanced weapons of the Tang Dynasty to bully Goguryeo. Anyway, the bullying Goguryeo had a small population, inferior weapons, and not enough food. The plan for this battle was actually to use the national strength of the Tang Dynasty to consume Goguryeo, so that he could not support it and collapse. And the war potential of the Tang Dynasty was much higher than theirs, so there was no need to be afraid of them at all. And now the conditions of Datang are also very good. With this thing, it is equivalent to being able to fight in winter, and it is much stronger than Goguryeo.

Jingwen also knew that in fact, in this war, the most critical thing was not a cannon, not a variety of advanced weapons, but a down jacket. According to Jingwen's estimation of the original history, Li Shimin personally went out to fight in the original history, but as a result, the army besieged the enemy's Anshi City, and finally because it could not be attacked for a long time, it was finally able to retreat in winter. And this is also the helplessness of ancient times, the ancient winter war is simply dead! And with the down jacket. Then the Tang Dynasty can be consumed with Goguryeo at any time, anyway, they are not afraid of cold in winter, even if Goguryeo delays, they can only be the ones who can't get off in the end.

"Your Majesty, this battle plan doesn't seem to have any special features!" Gao Kan also asked with some doubts.

But Li Shimin said: "If there is no feature, even if it is the biggest feature." The Goguryeo people simply couldn't grasp too many loopholes in this battle plan, so we were undefeated in the first place. Jingwen's meaning is to pass guò my Datang's perfect logistics to fight a war of attrition. We attacked step by step, and the Goguryeo people couldn't hold it at all. ”

"And you say that if we encounter a strong enemy that we can't win by normal means. So what should we do? Li Shimin asked Gao Kan.

And Gao Kan could only answer: "If we encounter a strong enemy that cannot be defeated by normal means, then we can only win by surprise." Anyway, winning by surprise is a gamble, and if it succeeds, then you can win. According to the teachings of Jingwen sacrificial wine, the so-called surprise wins. That's what you're forced to use when you're at a disadvantage. ”

"You said it well, but now we are obviously much stronger than Goguryeo, so why do we choose to win by surprise? Surprisingly winning, that is actually the original balance of advantages and disadvantages. Then forcibly concentrate on a certain strength, make it longer, and then attack the enemy's weakness. For example, the Battle of Chibi back then. In fact, the Sun-Liu coalition army also brought its own means of being good at water warfare to the limit, and then took advantage of Cao Cao's army's water army, coupled with the shortcomings of water and soil adaptation, to carry out a fierce attack, which defeated Cao Cao. Attacking the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths is actually the core of winning by surprise, and our plan is first of all to make ourselves have no shortcomings, and without shortcomings, the enemy will not have any chance to choose to win by surprise. ”

"The Goguryeo people definitely want to win by surprise, so we just don't gamble with them. If we choose to win by surprise, then our weaknesses will inevitably be exposed, and if the Goguryeo people find an opportunity to attack, then we will be miserable. Therefore, Jingwen's plan is to do everything, and not use any strange means to attack, as long as you do a good job of attacking step by step. In this way, we have no shortcomings at all, and no matter what the Goguryeo people want to win by surprise, there is no way. The former Sui actually wanted to send a special team to attack Pyongyang, but the enemy seized the opportunity to cut off their food routes, and finally failed. So surprise wins, big wins or big defeats. What kind of identity do we have in the Tang Dynasty, gambling with a small Goguryeo country? Li Shimin sneered.

In fact, if Emperor Yang of Sui could fight steadily and didn't want to quickly force Goguryeo to submit, then I am afraid it would not have ended like this. Emperor Yang of Sui was too anxious, so he used a strange strategy, but in the end, the strategy failed, and he was caught by the weakness and annihilated 300,000 troops. Therefore, every plot has his helplessness, and naturally has his very fatal weakness. If the enemy doesn't catch the weakness, then you win. And if the enemy catches on the weakness, then you are dead. And now, of course, the Tang Dynasty must learn the lessons of the former Sui Dynasty, and do not expect Tongguò to defeat Goguryeo quickly by certain means, but only to gradually compete for one city and one pool, so that Goguryeo will not be able to grasp the weakness of the Tang Dynasty at all. If you can't grasp Datang's weakness, then I'm afraid you can only delay. As for delaying absorption, the final result of failure will definitely be Goguryeo.

Goguryeo was not the later China, and China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was a protracted war. However, Goguryeo is not China, and the current Tang Dynasty is not the resource-poor Japan of later generations. The Tang Dynasty itself has a lot more resources than Goguryeo, and if Goguryeo also wants to play "On Protracted War", it would be more comfortable to hang the rope earlier. Therefore, guerrilla warfare and war of attrition also depend on the situation and cannot be abused casually. If one day China attacks Japan, and Japan also talks about protracted war, it will be its own death. (To be continued......)
