Liaodong to Liuqiu! Although Guo Rong has done enough foreshadowing, after hearing about this vast area and this predictable right, Li Yu is still excited and unable to hold himself.

From Liaodong to Liuqiu, Guo Rong said very simply, in fact, Liaodong, Silla, and this almost encompasses the entire northeast of the Tang Dynasty!

Liaodong, naturally there is no need to say much, from the former Sui began to conquer, until Gaozong completely took it, under the development of the Tang Dynasty has been a hundred years.

Liaodong used to be a barren land, but after more than 100 years of development by the Tang people, it was actually no less rich than Jianghuai.

The five states of Jiaodong, Qing, Zi, Mi, Lai, and Deng. Qing and Zi are the birthplace of Qi country, with a large population, prosperous commerce and trade, the pottery of Zizhou and the silk of Qingzhou are the best in the world, and the status of the former Jixia School Palace in the literary world is incomparable, no matter from which angle it is a prosperous place.

Mi, Lai, and Deng used to be barren places, but the only two naval divisions and four coastal defenses in the Tang Dynasty were all located in Sanzhou.

There are also planned marine, navy, and sea ship integrated bases in the five states of Jiaodong, with the deepening of Datang's ocean exploration, Jiaodong is destined to become the most solid foundation for Datang to go to the ocean.

The so-called Ryukyu is not the Ryukyu Islands of Guo Rong's time. To be precise, since the late Han Dynasty, when Sun Quan sent Wei Wen to arrive on the treasure island, the Ryukyus of the era in which Guo Rong lived before were called Xiaoliuqiu in this era.

In the eyes of the Tang people, from the perspective of cultivation and development, Liuqiu is small and useless, but the Tang Dynasty's move to the ocean has become an irreversible trend, so the position of Liuqiu, which is at the forefront of the Tang Dynasty's extension to the ocean, is particularly important.

Li Yu remembered Guo Rong's evaluation of Liuqiu, which was an aircraft carrier that would never be silent. Li Yu didn't know what an aircraft carrier was, but from Guo Rong's expression and attitude at that time, he could already understand the importance of the status of Ryukyu in Guo Rong's mind.

Liaodong, Jiaodong, and Liuqiu, together with the peninsulas where Silla and Baekje are located, constitute the main outline of Guo Rong's target Middle Sea Theater.

The vastness of the territory under its jurisdiction, the importance of its location, and the other matters that Guo Rong has pointed out, this position has in fact surpassed the jurisdiction of any Jiedu envoy.

Today's Li Yu is only 356 years old, and at the age of 356 years old, he is in charge of such an important region, and it is inevitable that he will be excited to have such rights.

If Li Yu is a careerist, or a warlord in his bones, after getting such authority, I am afraid that he will wake up with a smile in his dreams.

It's just that at this time, Li Yu was still a hot-blooded general loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so after obtaining such authority in his eyes, it also represented a huge responsibility on his shoulders.

Before, although Li Yu was also in a high position, such as the Jingzhou Assassin History, such as the general of the Changying Army, and the envoy of Hebei Jiedu...... However, those are either ineffective positions, or torii gates, or only need to be responsible for a single aspect of civil or military affairs, and the level of complexity and authority is not at all incomparable to that of the Tokaido theater that is now being planned.

At the helm of the Tokaido, it is necessary not only to be responsible for defense, but also to prepare for the offensive, not only for land routes, but also for land and sea, not only to preserve the existing strength, but also to guard the development of naval divisions and navigation...... After determining his rights and responsibilities, Li Yu couldn't help but have such a question in his mind, can he bear such a burden with his own ability?

The next moment, Li Yu subconsciously looked at his side, Guo Rong, this kid was ten years younger than himself, and he was even only twenty years old five years ago.

Five years ago...... After a stroke, there was only half a life left, and he couldn't even speak, and he was forced to abdicate by the eunuchs and the feudal town.

A man who is only in his early twenties, relying on a fierce courage, and a guide disguised as a man, forcibly killed the stunned young man from Anxi to Chang'an.

is such a pair, relying on thousands of remnants of soldiers, relying on the luck of the envy of God, to carry the entire Tang Empire stubbornly, so that this disease-ridden empire can be reborn.

Thinking about his previous inference, Guo Rong, this kid, was pushed to his current position by the Emperor Taishang, how could Guo Rong, this kid, have a choice and room for refusal.

Looking at Guo Rong, who is still young now, Li Yu's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and a word came to his mind, fate!

"Why did the eldest brother suddenly look at me, could it be that I have flowers on my face?" Hearing Guo Rong's slightly joking voice, Li Yu also came back to his senses from his trance, and his expression that had just unfolded brought a hint of complexity and caution.

"It's not an easy task for me to arrange!" did not refuse, it was equivalent to accepting, after Guo Rong let out a sigh of relief, he also carried a trace of guilt and apology, and then respectfully bowed to Li Yu.

"Big brother, this is really something that can't be helped, now that the reform of the Tang Dynasty is imminent, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, although Anxi is not as dangerous as five years ago, but there are really not many old men left......"

"Old men, ......" Li Yu silently repeated in his heart, but what came to mind was a group of white-haired soldiers armed with horizontal knives and rifles guarding the side of the Tang Banner in the lonely city.

“…… I am afraid that the remaining national strength will be tilted to the west, but Liaodong, Korea, Jiaodong, Ryukyu, and Wa Kingdoms, the responsibility of this line is too heavy, and it cannot be let ......go."

“…… Li Shidao is a wolf, and his counterattack on Datang is pure wishful thinking, but if he uses the sea to attack and disturb ...... My Datang will never be peaceful......"

"Those who can shoulder this responsibility must be wise, courageous, careful, and loyal...... Thinking about it, only the eldest brother can shoulder it,...... If the eldest brother has any needs, Rong will do his best! Although Guo Rong said that it had not yet been decided, and he still needed to ask Li Chun for his will, but from Guo Rong's previous foreshadowing and the final firm tone, Li Yu knew that the general manager of the East Sea Road march in this idea would not be able to run away.

Since he couldn't run, Li Yu changed roles as quickly as he could, and began to think of himself as the real head of the Tokaido march.

"Guo Rong, you honestly give me the bottom, how many men and horses and grain and grass can you give me now!"

"This, Your Majesty and I haven't studied it in detail, but it's not a big difference between studying and not studying, after all, that's all that can be mobilized, I want to think about where to start, oh, from the water master......"

"In my thoughts, half of the naval division stationed north of Rongcheng Bay will transfer its garrison from Dengzhou and Laizhou to the ...... of Qingnipu and Duli Town, that is, the ink division is still ......, and the third naval division will be formed in Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu......" Hearing that Guo Rong's plan was to form a third naval division with Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu, Li Yu determined Guo Rong's goal and plan: the three directions of Liaodong, Jiaodong, and Liuqiu almost formed a strategic encirclement of Silla, Baekje, and Wa.

From this point of view, Li Yu is sure again, Li Shidao and the Wa Kingdom are dead!

“…… Imitated Jiaodong coastal defense four guards, in the ...... Liaodong set up Jinzhou Wei and Qingpu Wei, and set up Zhenhaiwei ...... in Jianghuai, with a total of 12 guards from north to south...... Nominally garrisoned coastal defense, but in fact served as a marine corps fighting with the naval division,...... It can also be seen as a soldier and horse to prevent the Japanese invasion of the Japanese country, and it is okay to ask them to prepare Japanese soldiers. ”

“…… After the war was basically over, an army and a guard were transferred from Chang'an...... Enter............ Core ......"

“…… Food and money supply ,...... Zizhou, Qingzhou...... Yanhai ...... "All ...... in Linhai" Guo Rong's thinking is very clear, and Guo Rong's words are also very clear, the situation is not as bad as Li Yu expected, but it is definitely not much better.

The biggest advantage is that by setting up a coastal defense, the prefecture where the coastal defense is located is included in the jurisdiction, so that the so-called Tokaido has a stable supply of money and food.

The problem is that these states can supply only a limited amount of money and food, and even this limited money and food needs to take into account the construction of the 12th Guards of Haiphong, and there is really not much surplus money and food.

Simply, the money and grain of the water master and Jimo were directly allocated by the imperial court, and he denied that if he still needed to take care of this part, Li Yu would directly pick the child.

For Li Yu, in the future, the places that can really accumulate money and food for the expedition will still be placed in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the more land and population he can obtain...... As for the military, in terms of military affairs, Li Yu is more scratching his head, Guo Rong's words are very clear, the reinforcements in the direction of Chang'an need to be completely defeated by the rebels in Hebei, Tubo is defeated, and they can only set off after they withdraw from the Tang realm...... Guo Rong transferred 15,000 people from the four guards in Jiaodong, but that part could only be said to be temporarily sent to Li Yu to prevent Li Yu from being driven out of the sea because of the serious attrition...... When the situation on Li Yu's side stabilizes, this part will still have to return to Jiaodong, after all, the hidden dangers on the island country's side are still there......

"Beiyang!" 、

The two sailors of "Jimo" will indeed be assigned to Li Yu's subordinates. These two naval divisions are large in scale and strong, coupled with the use of new sea ships and new weapons, they are basically invincible above the ocean.

Of course, the advantage of having these two fleets is obvious, that is, you don't need to worry about the flanks, and you no longer need to worry about logistics and supplies.

The problem is that the sailor is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful the sailor is, it is impossible to drive on land, and it is impossible to help Li Yu defend Beisha City.

Through this, Guo Rong has made it very clear that he is unlikely to get much support for a long period of time, unless the soldiers and horses attacking Hebei fight all the way to Liaoxi and Liaodong.

The 20,000 horses in Beisha City, plus more than 10,000 coastal defense guards, plus 80 sea ships remaining in Liaodong, became all the actual forces at Li Yu's disposal.

After a moment's thought, his gaze quickly locked on the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside Beisha City.

Lack of people! Although the responsibility is nominally heavy, the first step is still in front of us. The idea that had calmed down a little gradually came to his mind again, and he must take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly clean up the enemy who had besieged Beisha City for a long time.

"I said Guo Rong, don't you really have any ideas?" As he spoke, Li Yu pointed his finger out of the city.

Seeing Li Yu's old story brought up again, Guo Rong was also helpless. If he had 70,000 or 80,000 people on hand, let alone 70,000 or 80,000 people, even if he had 30,000 Changying troops, he would order a pursuit, without Li Yu's suggestion, and let the enemy leave tens of thousands of corpses, he would not be surnamed Guo.

Now, the enemy troops outside the city are indeed panicked by the attack of the sailor's eight-bull crossbow, and there has been a large-scale rout, and in order to fight for a chance to live, some have even raised butcher knives against their own people.

However, this is not the only thing that is presented on the battlefield, there is also the continuous sound of gold. Although they are all failures, or even routs, with the sound of Mingjin, it means that everyone's retreat has been recognized by the coach.

It means that after they flee back to the camp, they will not be punished by the warlords for fleeing, which invisibly releases their pressure.

In this case, in the face of pursuit, this fleeing guy may not be able to fight back. Accompanied by the sound of gold, there were also groups of elites protruding from the opponent's camp.

After these elites rushed out of the camp, they did not raise their butcher knives against the retreating soldiers, but began to separate the panicked soldiers through their own ranks.

The rout is still a rout, not everyone can control themselves rationally and follow the guidance of these elites to evacuate, but these elites are not soft eggs, and those who do not obey orders will naturally be killed.

Of course, in addition to grooming, Guo Rong also knows that these elites are also responsible for vigilance and defense.

If the pursuers are really dispatched, at least it will be difficult for Guo Rong to accurately control the progress of the pursuing soldiers and horses, and if he collides head-on with the soldiers and horses serving as the core guard, Guo Rong believes that all reversals will only be in a blink of an eye.

First Mingjin, then guidance, and then vigilance and defense, can make such an effective organization and response when the defeat is decided, at least Guo Rong is convinced.

And Guo Rong believes that what he can see can definitely be seen by Li Yu, the reason why Li Yu mentioned it over and over again is not only unwilling, but also more afraid of the great pressure brought by the hundreds of thousands of people outside.

"Of course I have ideas, but, big brother, the fifth round is also a battlefield veteran, although he suffered a loss for the time being, but he dealt with it improperly, just directly covering up the past, it may be possible to have results, but the effect is not bad?" Li Yu frowned at first, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a wicked smile in the corner of Guo Rong's eyes.

According to Li Yu's understanding of Guo Rong, whenever Guo Rong wears such a smile, he must have a ghost idea, but ......

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"Big brother, I have brought a total of ninety warships, and these ninety warships can transport nearly 20,000 soldiers at most!"

"So?"

"The other side's military camp stretches for miles according to my observations, and it is along the coastline, why don't you think we use sea ships to make an amphibious landing!"
