Take the mall to Datang

Yuan Shan has already learned about His Majesty's personal conquest.

Ma He even came over to give him the title of Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Fleet, even though everything was done by his deputy Zhang Liang.

After Li Shimin arrived by train, Cangzhou had already gathered 10 of the most elite troops from the Tang Dynasty, as well as [-] Nanya Imperial Guards.

There are a total of 15 horses, plus Datang Hai's full force is 20.

When Li Shimin came to Cangzhou for the second time, he agreed to the saying that once you are born, you are familiar with it.

It was swift and resolute to bring a group of people from the Ministry of War out of the car.

Yuan Shan, Jiang Chengwang, Gao Biaoren, Zhang Shenwei, and the main personnel from Cangzhou were all present.

"Yuan Shan, you look very handsome, and the sea breeze is so cool." Cheng Zhijie came over and chatted.

"Uncle Cheng's words are funny, it's not good if the sea breeze blows too much." Yuan Shan said.

He was telling the truth, cold in winter and wet in summer.

"Yuanshan, you are very energetic, this is Tang Guohaibing's clothes, it looks very energetic." Li Daozong came over and said.

Niu Jinda and Yuan Shan are not familiar, they fought side by side when they moved to King Lu last time, so they are familiar.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde are very familiar, they all came to say hello.

The crowd was very enthusiastic.

Yuan Shan could see that these were fighting madmen, and they were happy when they fought.

The port office soon became the East Command.

Yuan Shan's seat is not too low, although he can't help much, and I don't know what to ask him to do, but can he refuse.

"Yuanshan, the Tang fleet will play a crucial role in this battle against Goguryeo," Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan knew that the time had come to show his loyalty. Anyway, he had to make some formalities. In the end, he didn't want Zhang Liang to lead the boat, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, my Tang Guohai soldiers obey the command in all actions."

"Okay, now let's talk about the plan." Li Shimin said.

Li Jing said solemnly: "Okay, our Ministry of War has formulated three plans. The first is to launch an attack from Liaodong and cooperate with the fleet to attack Beisha City. The second is to directly forcibly land from the waterway, and the third is to bypass Silla for a reasonable confrontation." Goguryeo and Baekje, each plan has a detailed implementation plan, and everyone can make judgments based on the current information and choose a suitable one.”

Yuan Shan saw the plan sent to him, turned a few pages and found that the content was quite comprehensive.

"You can share any opinions and suggestions you have," Li Shimin said.

"When will the troops be dispatched?" Yuan Shan asked.

"It is estimated that the troops will start in half a month," Li Jing said.

"In terms of time, the materials may be insufficiently prepared and rushed. My reason is very simple. The terrain of Liaodong is steep and easy to defend but not easy to attack. If there is no complete preparation, I may be delayed in this regard." Yuan Shan said bluntly.

"Back back?" Li Shimin muttered.

"Hahaha, this statement is interesting. Your thinking is very correct. I also think that the logistics must keep up. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are powerful and heroic in combat, but the principle that the soldiers and horses are not moved before the food and grass is always right." Cheng Zhijie published a theory. .

Everyone is thinking that the terrain of Liaodong is indeed a very important factor. If it is not because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Emperor Sui Yang would not be defeated. Although it is not all due to geographical advantages, it can be regarded as more than half.

"Yuan Shan is right, but if he sends troops later, Yuan Gai Su Wending will have more time to prepare, and then we will be passive." Li Ji said.

Li Daozong said: "It will be much easier for us to go by water. After we attack the island, we can fight steadily."

Yuan Shan felt that the waterway was indeed a good choice, so why didn't Emperor Sui Yang fight it back then? He didn't say it, but was thinking.

"The waterway is feasible. Ten treasure ships can transport 3 troops at one time. Coupled with the two cargo ships Cangzhou and Satisfaction, they can transport up to [-] troops." Yuan Shan said.

Cangzhou is not far from Beisha City. In addition to treasure ships, merchant ships and fishing boats can be deployed. It is very easy to transport 8 or [-] troops at a time. Besides, taking the sea route is one aspect, and the Liaodong land route still needs to send people to contain local troops. Yes, the main attack is the sea route, and the fleet clears the way. If there are enough supplies, it is still possible to lay down half of the land.

The other half is Silla, and the current situation will be too thick-skinned to deal with it, but everything is respected by the strong, and it will be a matter of time before Silla wins.

Yuan Shan thought that the problem was not comprehensive enough, so he was a little naive, but in fact, the geographical advantages of Goguryeo and Silla could simply determine success or failure.

"Okay, since that's the case, we will focus on the sea route." Li Shimin said.

"What do you think, generals?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"I agree." Li Daozong said.

"I also agree." Duan Zhixuan said.

Then they basically raised their hands and agreed, which means they approved the plan.

After the meeting was over, Yuan Shan began to arrange the ships. He had to wait three days to gather ten warships. It would take a week to transport the troops to Beisha City, and the time for material preparation was the most delayed.

Yuan Shan watched the convoys coming and going back and forth at the port in the port office, and the supplies were almost piled up like a hill.

He knew that after the battleship set off, it would inevitably cause a bloodbath. At this time, he could not be soft-hearted, because soft-heartedness would not have any effect.

He is not optimistic about places like Goguryeo. He is more concerned about the occupation of Liaodong. If Mohe can occupy it and go north, using Vladivostok as the port of Tang State, it can directly correspond to Donghai Prefecture. If it is winning Silla, it will definitely be the strategic pattern of the Iron Triangle. .

Yuan Shan suddenly stopped this prospect, because he felt that it would not be difficult to realize this plan. What he paid was Datang's manpower and materials, and the process was bloody, but he didn't have to go through all this, so he dared to imagine.

"Lan Guogong, the ships in the port can leave in three days." Zhang Shenwei came in.

"Then let the people from the Ministry of War prepare in advance. How is the preparation of Deputy Commander Zhang?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Taizong will serve as His Majesty's flagship, and Xiaolong and Jiaolong will serve as the main attack ships. This is the arrangement of Deputy Commander Zhang," Zhang Shenwei said.

"En, this is just right." Yuan Shan said.

Now the battleships with the most complete weapons are Xiaolong and Jiaolong. His Majesty took the Taizong and happened to liberate the two battleships.

"By the way, just now Li Jing from the Ministry of War asked me to give this to you." Zhang Shen said slightly.

Yuan Shan opened it and looked helplessly. How could he be the commander-in-chief of the Xiaolong battleship, and Zhang Liang be the deputy commander of the Jiaolong battleship?

Yuan Shan responded and went to the conference room.

"I have something to say about the appointment of the commander of the ship." Yuan Shan said after entering the room.

"What do you want to say, there may be many variables in the battle situation in Goguryeo, so you can rest assured." Li Shimin said.

Chapter 1022 Oh, I Have a Headache

On the Snapdragon.

Yuan Shan was dressed in a light sailor uniform and sat quietly on the ship tower.

"Governor, you will be able to reach Beisha City in about an hour." Du Jue reminded.
