Naturally, Jindeman would not refuse Li Daozong's request, not only was that area not suitable for growing crops, but that was just some chaotic open space near the dock, where some weeds and trees grew.

For such an open space to be ownerless, what Kindman says, it is naturally what it is.

After negotiating the dock, the two of them moved to the restaurant where Jindeman was resting before, and after re-seating, Jindeman continued: "General Li, I think you also need a lot of loading and unloading labor, why don't you leave this aspect to us to organize?" ”

"No need, Your Excellency the Queen, although we are on the land of your country, it is precisely because of the land of your country that it is even more impossible for us to give up the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty."

"Although I am a county king, I am also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, I must abide by the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, which has nothing to do with what I am, even if His Royal Highness the King of Qin is here today, he will not violate the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty." Li Daozong shook his head slightly and said.

Jindeman paused, Li Daozong had already said it to this point, and she knew that it was useless for her to say anything.

"Your Excellency Queen Seondeok, why don't we discuss the next military move? Can I know the current Goguryeo moves? Li Daozong changed the subject.

"Of course, according to the news from our front, Goguryeo's actions against us are not very large, and after their early actions are seen through, they are mobilizing troops in the future, and we are currently mainly concentrated in a few cities on the front line."

"Trouble General Kim to bring the map." Queen Kindman said.

One of the generals standing next to him immediately bent down and saluted, ready to get the map.

"Use ours." Li Daozong waved his hand and directly asked people to take out the military map of the Tang Dynasty on the peninsula, which was naturally from the military map modified and reprinted by later generations.

In later generations, this map is already very standard, with mountains, terrain, rivers, and so on, and everything is very exquisite.

When the map was taken out, the generals and ministers of Silla, including Kindman, were stunned, none of them had ever seen such a detailed map.

The point is, isn't this the topography of their peninsula? Why does Datang know it in such detail, even more detailed than they seem.

"Can you tell me about it?" Li Daozong said.

"The main force of our army is concentrated in these few cities." The general, who had just been instructed by Jindeman, immediately pointed to several border cities on the map.

"Are these cities military fortifications?" Li Daozong asked, the location of these cities is not too good, and of course it is not too bad.

In ancient times, wherever a city could be built, it must have had an advantage in one aspist. But if you think about combat alone, this is certainly not the optimal solution.

"No, it's an ordinary county seat." The general spoke immediately.

Li Daozong pondered for a moment, he knew very well that the purpose of the Tang Dynasty was not to defeat Goguryeo, if it was to defeat Goguryeo, it would not be more than 10,000 soldiers who came.

Datang's purpose is to form a counterbalance with Goguryeo, at least for a few months, or even by this time next year.

Goguryeo did not have many troops on the side of Baekje and Silla, because Goguryeo knew very well that their main enemy was the Tang Dynasty, so Goguryeo's heavy troops were at the junction of Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty.

In Silla and Baekje, the number of troops is not much, and they are all second-line troops, and the main elite forces are all in the confrontation area between the Liaodong region and the Datang border.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Yuangai Suwen adopted that strategy at the beginning, if they were the main forces of Goguryeo, and could carry the million-strong army of the former Sui several times without being defeated, Silla and Baekje would not be opponents at all.

Not to mention that if you hold on for so long, just sweep directly, where is the tactic used?

But thinking about it this way, Li Daozong found a blind spot again, this is indeed a tactic at the strategic level, Goguryeo deployed so few troops in the face of Baekje and Silla, but the current distance between Datang and Goguryeo, if it is transported with all its might, it can theoretically transport 50,000 elite troops in ten days.

What is the concept of 50,000 elite troops? Li Daozong knew better than anyone else that the current tradition of announcing the strength of troops in various countries to the outside world was to count the temporary requisitioned people who assisted in transporting grain and grass.

Including the city guards in the rear, etc., must be added.

But in fact, the elite troops of Datang and Goguryeo will not exceed 100,000 each, although there are 600,000 or 700,000 soldiers before Datang, but that is only a number, and the elite who can really fight is between 100,000 and 200,000.

And these elites can't all be put into the Goguryeo war.

Of course, this is the former Datang, not the current Datang, after the compulsory military service system with the conscription system of professional soldiers restructured, in just over two years, the current 600,000 troops of Datang can be said to be elite!

Even though many of the troops were mainly recruits, these recruits were young and strong men between the ages of eighteen and thirty, and were equipped with full body armor, bows and arrows, plenty of arrows, enough time for training, and plenty of food.

The sum of these things makes these troops, even those who are mainly recruits, probably stronger than the elite troops in the previous Tang Dynasty military system.

But Goguryeo could not reach the point of the Tang Dynasty, so if 50,000 elites appeared in the hinterland of Goguryeo, and then attacked at the same time, Li Daozong was confident that he would directly take the entire peninsula within a month!

When the time comes, take the Yalu River named by His Royal Highness, which is a fatal strategic point.

If this is the case, then it is now necessary to stock up on enough grain in Silla and Baekje and build grain depots.

After taking over these two countries at that time, then as long as Goguryeo makes a move, Datang can directly advance with the trend.

Li Daozong's heart instantly began to think of the important logistical support for future wars, and there are some things that must always be prepared for a rainy day.

In this way, by the way, let's change the follow-up strategy, presumably this highness should not refuse.

Li Daozong decided that he would write a recital to His Highness in a while and send it back to Chang'an, and as for Silla and Baekje, there was no problem in stabilizing the situation.

Li Daozong pondered here, and the generals of Jindeman and Silla naturally did not dare to interrupt, and the room was a little silent for a while.

Of course, Jin Deman and this Jin general probably couldn't imagine that Li Daozong's problem was not how to help them defend the border, but how to destroy Goguryeo.
