Expedition to the East Battalion

"See the marshal."

After entering Su Dingfang's military camp, dozens of generals and deputy generals under his command are already kneeling in front of Li Xiang at this moment, Li Xiang used to be very rare in this title, but from rebirth to the present, most people call him His Royal Highness, and now we are also handsome.

"With the armor on your body, you don't have to kneel down in the future, please get up."

People in the army have long heard that although this highness is of noble birth, he can get along with the people in the army, otherwise he would not be able to achieve so many victories, and it is said that several old generals have a good relationship with Li Xiang.

At the beginning, there were still many people who suspected that Li Xiang had all kinds of aristocratic atmosphere, you must know that this is a military camp, if Li Xiang played the young master's temper to them, the front line is really not suitable, Goguryeo is such a small country, our Zhongnan Dynasty has been fighting up and down for decades, and has been disobedient to discipline since the time of Emperor Wen of Sui, if they are not solved this time, then they will be scolded in history.

This time, the emperor has 200,000 elite soldiers, and His Royal Highness Taisun is personally in charge, everyone has an idea in their hearts, that is, to set foot in Goguryeo as soon as possible, and then return to the dynasty, many people have been stationed here for five or six years, and in these five or six years, their sons have grown into children, but they have not seen them.

"Everyone has worked hard here, the emperor has a decree, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, everyone will be added to the official level first."

After sitting on the main seat, Li Xiang came first, and as soon as he recruited and bought people's hearts, this was also announced by Li Shimin, but Li Shimin did not come now, so Li Xiang announced it for him first, and the official position of the Tang Dynasty can be promoted according to hard work, but if it is a title, it is impossible.

According to the provisions of the law of the Tang Dynasty, you must have military merits on the battlefield, including some heroes who can only have a lifelong title when they are born, and they will be gone after you die, which can be regarded as a compliment to your Lao Tzu, but if you want to be able to inherit the title, you have to fight on the battlefield by yourself.

In this kind of social system, who doesn't want to leave more benefits to their children and grandchildren, so when they are on the battlefield, these people will work harder.

"His Royal Highness Taisun Xie."

Looking at the neat people in front of him, Li Xiang understood a truth, that is, Su Dingfang governed the army in a good way, if the management was not strict in peacetime, these people might have various forms now, and it would never be so neat.

"This king came to the military camp in advance, not to talk these nonsense to everyone, but to take advantage of our army has not yet come, to launch an attack on Goguryeo in advance, I believe you are also holding your stomach, it is not that the emperor does not let you attack in advance, but in these two years, we must weaken Goguryeo to the greatest extent, and now the time is ripe, the time for the generals to make contributions has also come, and this king has decided to launch an attack on Goguryeo within three days."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, many people below were not to mention how happy, from the day Li Xiang was reborn, the plan here was changed, it was originally to chase and fight hard against Goguryeo, and we won the victory on the frontal battlefield, which is what all soldiers are best at.

But Li Xiang suddenly gave these people an idea, that is, to take the crooked way, when they began to farm, our cavalry will attack lightly, not seeking to annihilate how many of them, as long as they have no way to cultivate on time, many people at that time felt that this method would not work, doesn't it seem that my Datang is too stingy? Don't we dare to fight them head-to-head on the battlefield?

Now no one has said this, in this year or so, everyone can say that it can be seen clearly, the weakening of Goguryeo can be seen with the naked eye, it turned out that when this strategy was not implemented, if our cavalry and Goguryeo's cavalry meet, if the number of both sides is equal, we may have to suffer a loss, after all, people are familiar with the local terrain.

But in the last month, we have not seen Goguryeo cavalry on patrol outside, if we want to talk about the latest battle record, it should be a month and a half ago, more than 70 cavalry on both sides met, our men chased and killed them for more than 50 miles, and finally beheaded them all under their horses.

At that time, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were stunned, you must know that this is the first time that the armies of the two sides have clashed head-to-head since the strategy of Shishi and Li Xiang, where did the Goguryeo army that could only fight a tough battle go? Many people couldn't believe it when they came back, and when they reported the news, the court knew it was time to do it.

If we don't do it now, it is very likely that we will be picked up by others, you must know that there are two countries in the south of Goguryeo, and there are also Heishui Corn in the north of Goguryeo, although they still exist in the form of tribes, but if they really gather, they may also pick our peaches, so Li Shimin immediately made a decision and immediately prepared to conquer Goguryeo, which led to this series of events later.

"Please rest assured, all of us have been put in order, and the main offensive force of our army at present is more than 24,000 cavalry, in addition to more than 18,000 hoplites and more than 20,000 light infantry, all of whom are currently waiting for the commander's orders."

There are a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people on Su Dingfang's side, all of them have finished training, they are not idle in normal times, it turns out that every 3,000 people are a brigade, and they cross the border line at every turn to attack and harass the peasants of Goguryeo, so that they have no way to farm on time, although there will be some casualties, but their efforts are not in vain, just look at the current grain shortage in Goguryeo.

"General Su has a set of troops, I have seen it clearly when I came, after this battle, General Su will definitely be transferred back to the capital, and this king will definitely protect General Su."

Su Dingfang has been carrying out the orders of General Li Jing, and the entire Northeast region is in good order, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid there may be many ways out, the original rise of Su Dingfang is not here, but gold can always shine, while completing the task, he can also bring himself a brilliant future, Li Xiang will never treat this kind of capable person badly, and Datang will definitely not treat this kind of capable person badly.

Their future has long been tied to the wheels of Datang, without them, how can Datang expand externally?
