Chapter 1308: Pre-War Meeting

In order to make sure that nothing was lost, the shopkeeper took out two of the only three maps in his hand, quickly re-marked them, and sent the two maps back to someone.

Although Goguryeo and Datang are already in a state of war, both sides are on guard against each other, but for the border, it is too simple to intersperse it, this era is not like the later generations, the border line is guarded by countless sentinels barbed wire, etc., as well as all kinds of monitoring equipment.

Time is like flowing water, it never stops, it always slips away quietly.

In less than fifteen days, Li Shiji received two maps from Liaodong City, and both maps had already been received.

After confirming that there was no problem with the comparison, Li Shiji immediately ordered people to gather most of the generals who had arrived here, and then hung the map on the wall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the information provided by the Ministry of Intelligence, and now these locations marked by red circles on the map, these villages, can be said to be completely controlled by our Datang, and the people here are all oriented towards our Datang, that is to say, these people don't have to worry at all when we pass by."

"Also, be sure to order the army to protect them." Li Shiji first pointed to the red circles on the map and said.

Looking at those who were mostly concentrated on the border between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, and then extended to the interior of Goguryeo, the circle became more and more sparse, but it was still there, and all the generals were a little confused.

Take control of the entire village and rebel? This...... How is this done?

For these generals, they have fought a lot of battles, in fact, for ordinary people, they basically don't take it to heart, because the army has driven through any country, and ordinary people dare not resist. The army of the Tang Dynasty has always rarely plundered, and it used to fight with the surrounding small countries, including the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun and other nomadic countries.

As long as they are not carried away by their khans and some small tribes left in place, they will not resist and will not run away.

And if it weren't for the surrounding nomads entering the Central Plains, often burning, killing and looting, it is estimated that the people of the Tang Dynasty in the past would basically not be able to resist them, and they would not dare to resist.

After all, they didn't have enough to eat before, and if these armies didn't make them unable to live, no one would use their necks to compete with the enemy's steel swords.

Of course, those are the people of the Tang Dynasty in the past, and the people of the Tang Dynasty now, you let them try it.

But...... Although these Goguryeo people will not resist, not resisting and completely throwing themselves into the Tang Dynasty are two different concepts.

This...... Is the Ministry of Intelligence so wild? Have all the intelligence been done directly to the enemy's hinterland? And even if it goes to the enemy's hinterland, it's normal, it's normal to instigate some special personnel to work as intelligence gathering, this is ...... Village-by-village rebellion, what's going on?

And those ordinary people who don't understand anything, they will listen to your reasoning?

Looking at the confusion on the faces of these generals, Li Shiji could also understand them, after all, Li Shiji was also very dazed when he first learned the news.

"I don't think you need to be too shocked, if you have been to some places in Datang, you can look at the villages in Qinghai, look at the villages in Yunnan-Guizhou, and look at the tribes on the grassland now, you will know that these ordinary people can also understand the reason. Especially the truth that His Highness told them. Li Shiji said.

"Yes, you can underestimate anything, but you can't underestimate my third brother, otherwise why do you think San Lang can have such a high reputation in Datang?! It's not just that San Lang has done these things for the people of Datang, but that San Lang knows what they think, and can really tell them these truths and let them understand these truths."

"So, this Datang can't do without me, but it can't be without San Lang, you have to understand this truth." Li Chengqian, who was next to him, knocked on the table and said.

Generals: "......"

No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you talking about? This is also outrageous.

"Look at what I'm doing, I'm telling the truth, I'm not going to play any foolish with you here, I'm just letting you know the necessity of my third brother, my third brother is invincible in the world. Let's move on to the discussion. Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Shiji: "......"

He always felt that there was something going on here, but there were some things that they couldn't get involved in.

The other generals also felt a little speechless and outrageous, but it was impossible for them to refute His Royal Highness the Prince's words casually, and except for what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was not quite like what he said in his identity, what he said was the truth.

"However, will this affect the rhythm of our attack? If we all had to pay attention to these villages, and even protect them, then some of our offensive tempo would have to be slowed down. Hou Junji next to him decided to move directly back on track.

"It's a good thing to affect our tempo, but I think these villages are good for our offensive plans." Li Shiji spoke, "This time, His Highness has ordered Hanhae Prefecture to send 20,000 cavalry into the area where Murowei is located, and cross the Great Khing'an Mountains to reach the hinterland of Goguryeo. Judging by the time, they will have half a month to reach the place. ”

"Behind them is a logistics transport force composed of 40,000 grassland herders, which will send them a large number of logistical supplies, which means that we have a flexible and mobile force."

"Although most of the territory of Goguryeo is not suitable for cavalry, the high mobility of cavalry, if combined with these villages." Li Shiji pointed to the villages in the hinterland of Goguryeo.

"Then these cavalry have a place to supply, which means that these cavalry can be active in the hinterland of Goguryeo for a long time, which means that the small forces of Goguryeo to support the front line, as well as the logistics supply line, can be cut off by us."

"And you notice these villages. These villages are located in the middle of the mountains, which means that they have little contact with the outside world, and if the cavalry team is not very large, there is no problem in repairing and supplying these villages. Li Shiji pointed to the fenced villages in the hinterland of Goguryeo.

"What General Li said makes sense, if this is the case, then Goguryeo's logistics troops and supplies will not have to worry at all." The eyes of several generals in the field lit up instantly, and they all nodded one after another. It is true that they had not thought of this kind of combat plan before, after all, there is a way for cavalry to harass supply lines, but it is impossible to harass them for a long time.

Because the supply of cavalry is also a problem, and the whereabouts of large-scale cavalry are not easy to hide.
