During the Kaihuang period, Yang Jian's most relied on foreign ministers were Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju, because the main conflict at that time was with the Turks, so Changsun Sheng played a greater role.

However, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the Eastern and Western Turks had been cleaned up by Yang Jian, and the role of Changsun Sheng was not prominent, and Pei Ju became the first person in the Great Sui to the outside world.

The excuse of playing Goguryeo, that was also thought up by Pei Ju.

Yang Guang now asks Pei Ju whenever he is in a foreign country, and Xin Shixiong knows, so when Pei Ju appeared in the Youxiao Guard Mansion, Xin Shixiong asked someone to sit down with a hippie smile.

"I'm here to be a lobbyist this time," Pei Ju said straight to the point.

Telling the truth first is good and will make people feel that what you are going to do is also the truth.

Xin Shixiong was curious: "Who does Pei Gong give as a lobbyist?" ”

"Naturally, it's Li Jing," Pei Ju said with a smile after sitting down:

"Li Jing found me last night, hoping that I could persuade Shixiong to go to the city of despicable luxury, and when I learned the whole thing, I felt that this lobbyist didn't need to be a lobbyist, but he was entrusted by someone to make a trip."

Xin Shixiong snorted coldly: "Relying on the protection of the prince, this person is already so arrogant, he actually invited Pei Gong?" I don't know why Pei Gong thinks that he doesn't need to be this lobbyist? ”

Pei Ju smiled: "Because I think Shixiong should understand the benefits of fighting a lowly luxury city." ”

I don't understand, but if you say that, all I can say is, "Oh? Pei Gong might as well talk about it. ”

Pei Ju continued: "The two major naval divisions of Goguryeo, one is in Pyongyang and the other is in Beilu, among which Beilu and my Dongnae County are across the sea, and they have always been the top border trouble in our maritime frontier. Shixiong should understand. ”

"I understand this," Xin Shixiong said: "After Rong Guogong goes to sea, the first thing to fight is the enemy naval division on the Liaodong Peninsula. ”

Pei Ju said: "How many warships do you have?" Does Shixiong know? ”

"Yes, more than sixty," Xin Shixiong said.

Pei Ju smiled: "Then do you think that the Humble City Water Master dares to fight with Rong Guogong?" ”

"Without the inland river to rely on, we should not dare to engage in battle," Xin Shixiong said.

Pei Ju nodded: "Now the imperial court thinks that the humble water division is very likely to go to Pyongyang at the beginning of the war and join forces with the Lianshui water division before it can fight with Rong Guogong, so the humble luxury has no benefit from the water division, it is actually very easy to fight, because in the peninsula, once it is surrounded, there is no possibility of supply, does Shixiong think so?" ”

The city of Beiluxury, that is, the area of Dalian, is located on the peninsula, and if its land supply is cut off, and there is no support from the sailors, it is easy to besiege it.

The sailors here plus Pyongyang's sailors have only 140 warships, and they are not in good command to fight with Laihu'er.

Now is the era of cold weapons, not relying on ships to make profits, to a large extent, it is the quantity.

The warship is basically equipped with two weapons, one is a ballista, that is, a giant crossbow, one in the bow and one in the stern.

Twist the axle car with manpower, open the bow, put a giant arrow in the middle, three feet five inches long (about 1.2 meters), thick five inches (about equal to 12 centimeters), the arrow is cast of fine iron, as long as the shot is shot, the power is not small.

In addition to the ballista, it is a stone-throwing vehicle, which can be set up with several planes, and it is divided into ships.

There are six kinds of sea ships built in Donglai County this time: building boats, shipwrecks, fighting ships, boats, yachts, and sea falcons.

The combat form of each kind of warship is different, such as the building ship, which has ballistas and stone throwers, and is also equipped with a female wall, crossbow windows, and spear holes, which can be fought from far and near, and is the capital ship.

The other five are all dependent on the building ship to fight, such as the fighting ship, as the enemy ship continues to get closer, the attack method is also constantly changing, first release arrows, then use spears to stab in the spear hole, and finally use the hook to pull the enemy ship closer, board the ship and fight.

The smallest sea falcon, specializing in large ships, after approaching, specially put fire oil or cowhide ball into the holes on both sides of the enemy ship, the smoke is huge after the cowhide ball is ignited, if it is thrown into the lower layer of the cabin, it will have a huge impact on the sailors, and it will also affect the sight of the enemy's shooting holes, it belongs to a small clever ghost, this thing must be built and the ship in front of the front, he can get closer, otherwise it will be sunk by the opponent's rubble.

Of the more than 300 sea ships built by Dongnaejun this time, the six types of warships were properly matched and the number was so large that the two naval divisions of Goguryeo would not dare to fight if they did not join forces.

Why did Yang Guang order to build 300 ships, it is twice as much as the enemy, as for three times, without that ability, it is really not enough money.

Xin Shixiong also roughly understood Pei Ju's meaning, no matter which of the five fortified cities north of Pyongyang is captured, it is a great achievement, and these five cities are best fought without the humility of the sailors.

The humble luxury relies on the support of the sailor on the sea, and the black bone on the land, the sailor runs to Pyongyang, and the black bone Li Jing will fight, so the humble luxury is simply in the pocket.

As long as he lays down the humility and luxury, it is the same as Duan Wenzhen's contribution to Fuyu, and he did not disgrace the emperor.

"Those who know me, Pei Gongye," Xin Shixiong said with a smile: "I want to take humility and luxury, but I saw Li Jing domineering, so I made this gesture, this person is young, no one in his eyes, I don't like it." ”

"The prince's face must be taken into account after all," Pei Ju said with a smile: "Otherwise, if the contradiction between the two of you is transmitted to Jingshi, do you think the prince will change Li Jing or you?" ”

The corners of Xin Shixiong's mouth twitched, I am His Majesty's person, can he change me?

Pei Ju said directly: "The prince is the prince, and the son of His Majesty is also." ”

Xin Shixiong was seen through his thoughts, the corners of his eyes moved, and he nodded: "Naturally, I have to take care of the prince's face." ”

Pei Ju smiled and got up: "I'll just say, today must be like running in vain, Shixiong doesn't need me to remind him." ”

"I'm old, and I'm still angry with young people, so much so that Pei Gongjian laughs," Xin Shixiong sent Pei Ju out of the door until the other party walked away.

In fact, he didn't need so many soldiers to fight the humble extravagance, and Li Jing allocated another 5,000 light cavalry to Xin Shixiong, just because he was worried about the return of the sailor and made all preparations.

As soon as the news of the defeat of the Humble Water Division arrived, Li Jing would immediately transfer half of Xin Shixiong's men.

On this day, Li Jing has been staying in the military department, and he wants to choose ordnance for the army under his command.

At present, the military department is very lively, and the general manager of the 20th Route runs here every day to ask for ordnance, grain and grass.

The military department of the Great Sui was in charge of logistics, and it was far less powerful than the military department in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

On the flank of Li Jing's west road, there were 67,000 people, and he only needed 10,000 light horsemen, 5,000 heavy horsemen, and the rest were all foot soldiers.

There is no need for cavalry to attack the mountain city, and the cavalry of this ten thousand and a half is just to cover the main force attacking the mountain city, so as not to be harassed by the enemy cavalry.

If you want to carry heavy weapons, you always rely on your ability, not that what you want, the military department can give you something.

Because hundreds of shields will be noisy.

The entire lobby of the military headquarters was extremely noisy.

Mingya, the squire of the military department, secretly called Li Jing to the side, and whispered: "You open me a dosage list, and when the military department is ready, it will send you to the military government as soon as possible, quietly, don't tell others." ”

Li Jing knew that Yang Ming had greeted him, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Ming Shilang." ”

Mingya nodded and left directly.

He was born in the Pingyuan Ming clan, that is, the Pingyuan County of Shandong, Xianbei people, this is also a big family, several officials in the court during the Kaihuang period, and the ancestors can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Qin State A generation of famous ministers Baili Xi's son Meng Mingshi.

Meng Mingshi, depending on the name, the Ming character, and the name of the meritorious, actually comes from the Jiang surname Baili.

The surname is a branch of the surname, a surname Ji derived from 411 surnames, a surname Jiang derived from 102 surnames, of which the surname Ji is the ancestor of all surnames in China.

Ming Ya didn't let Li Jing spread the word because she was afraid that others would know that the Ministry of War would open the back door to Li Jing.

After all, there are a number of ordnance baggage, there are more people, there are fewer people, anyway, it can't be fair, because people's hearts are insufficient, you still want it.

But Li Jing didn't want much at all, he paid attention to the use of arms, rather than relying entirely on ordnance.

He is now in charge of the entire Right Xiaowei and half of the Right Wuwei, and the headquarters of these two armies are in Guanzhong, so Li Jing plans to go north from Guanzhong in the future and go to Goguryeo.

In fact, you can also come to Luoyang to take a boat, and in this regard, you also have to say hello to the military department and ask the family to allocate ships for you, but Li Jing doesn't want to do this, he wants to restrain military discipline and rectify the generals on the land march, so as to facilitate future scheduling.

After all, he was completely unfamiliar with the Right Guard.

Regarding this point, Yang Ming was also paving the way for him, and when he learned of Li Jing's appointment, he personally went to the Right Xiaowei camp.

The left and right Xiaowei are all new military mansions after Yang Guang's restructuring, there are not many old people in them, and no one can cover the sky here with one hand, unlike some old military mansions after the name change, which are all some people's private territory.

Li Hun, the general of the right Xiaowei, is already in a semi-pension state, and he is more concerned about the affairs of the military government than the affairs of the military government.

So Yang Ming went to Youxiaowei this time and directly arranged for seven people to go in.

Shi Wanshou is the chief of the right guard, Pang Ben is the military for the record, Pang Tao, who was transferred back from the Jiangling County Lieutenant, is the soldier Cao Cao, Chen Shuyi's younger brother Chen Zhuang is the eldest son of Zhou Cao and Zhou Luohu, and Zhou Zhongmu's eldest brother Zhou Zhong'an is the military for Cangcao.

Zhou Zhongmu was originally arranged by Yang Ming in Wuhou Wei's two sons, Zhou Qing and Zhou Tian, to serve as Zuo Si Rank and Zuo Zhong Hou respectively.

He was worried that Li Jing would not be able to lead the right Xiaowei and would be set aside, so he directly put others in the air first.

Nepotism is the first priority to do great things, because obedient, no matter how capable you are, disobedient? Get out of the way.

Those generals who were replaced, Yang Ming was afraid that they would complain, so he also had other position arrangements, but he would not let them stay in Youxiaowei.

These seven people were brought by Yang Ming, and they settled in early, so that they could adapt early.

Whoever dares not to listen to the dispatch will be dealt with directly by military law.

There are a lot of thorns in the military government, especially the people in Guanzhong, and Yang Ming is also worried that Shi Wanshou will not accept them well, so he invited two big people who are familiar with the affairs of the military government to help.

One is Shi Wansui, and the other is the monk Shou of Xincai County Gonghan who is retired in Beijing.

Han Seng Shou is Li Jing's second uncle, of course he is willing to help, how to manage the army, he is a grandmaster.
