Han Shizu

Chapter 1267 As always, full support

On the edge of the lawn, there is also a flower garden with a group of flowers planted in a very orderly layout. This season, peonies and rhododendrons bloom most vigorously, and the patches of purple are very gorgeous.

However, in this harmonious atmosphere, there is a young figure active in it, not chasing flowers and butterflies, but holding a wooden sword, chopping among them, making "hey ha" sounds constantly, urging him It was a joy to break the flowers and branches, but the bright little eyes kept glancing at the place where Emperor Liu was sitting.

Sure enough, he managed to attract Emperor Liu's attention, noticed the movement, turned his head to look, and lightly reprimanded: "Little Thirteen!"

The scolding immediately had an effect, the little guy stopped moving, and Emperor Liu got up and walked forward.This child is naturally Liu Ye, the thirteenth son of Emperor Liu, who is only seven years old this year. His mother, Qin, is of the Yao nationality. When he first entered the palace, he was granted the title of beauty.

Emperor Liu looked at the mess in the flower garden, and stared at Liu Ye who was led to him by his servants. The majesty of the emperor's father still made the boy a little afraid, and he couldn't help but look down at the tip of his shoe, with a shy and nervous look on his face.

"What are you doing with your head down, raise it up! Let me ask you, what are you doing!" Emperor Liu asked.

Hearing and asking, Liu Ye held his head high, still waving the wooden sword in his hand, and there was a little excitement in his childish voice: "I'm killing the enemy!"

Emperor Liu was surprised, but he gave him a quick look, and asked with interest: "You are so young, what kind of enemy do you kill!"

Liu Ye pointed to the flowers and trees behind him, and replied, "These are all Liao thieves, and I'm killing Liao thieves!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu immediately laughed, and asked softly, "Who taught you this?"

Liu Ye looked at Xiang Xun with ignorant eyes, and said, "Master Xiang taught me!"

Xiang Xun was still enjoying himself, but when he heard what the thirteenth prince said, his old face darkened immediately. He met Emperor Liu's suspicious gaze and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to teach the prince indiscriminately."

"Xiao Shisan, please tell the master, he didn't teach you to bully these flowers and plants!" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Ye with even more interest: "What's going on?"

Liu Ye said: "Tell the master that the big man is attacking the Liao thieves. The second brother, the fourth brother, and the sixth brother are all on the battlefield. I can't join them. I have to treat these flowers and plants as Liao thieves."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu was a little happy. He squatted down, touched his thin body, and brushed off the two petals on his head, encouraging him in a gentle tone: "Your ambition is good, but you You are still young, if you want to kill the enemy, wait another ten years! Now, you should go to school seriously, and then go to the battlefield in the future."

"Okay!" Liu Ye looked at Emperor Liu and nodded again and again, very happy, and there was a kind of admiration in his clear and bright eyes.

This kind of look made Emperor Liu's heart tremble. He raised his eyes and saw that the older brothers were all playing around on the grass, chasing Cuju. There were only thirteen sons, who were too young to participate.

Touching Liu Ye's head, the corner of Emperor Liu's mouth was still smug, and said to him: "However, these flowers and trees are innocent, you destroyed them for no reason, but you made a mistake!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Ye could not help drooping his little head, and replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished!"

Liu Ye nodded, his eyes rolled around, and he ran to the flowerbed with his short legs, picked up a broken branch, returned it to Emperor Liu, and then spread his hands
Emperor Liu was taken aback by Liu Ye's self-conscious performance, and then laughed loudly: "Okay! You made a mess of the flower garden, and I will punish you to clean it up!"

"You won't hit me?" Liu Ye asked suspiciously.

"Don't fight!" Emperor Liu couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Liu Ye heaved a sigh of relief.Seeing this, Emperor Liu greeted Yantuo: "Prepare him something to clean up, don't help him, let him do it himself!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the little figure in the flower garden became busy again.

Emperor Liu sat down with Xiang Xun, feeling a little emotional: "It may not be a good thing if there are too many sons, they are all mischievous."

Having said that, Emperor Liu always had a smile on his lips.Xiang Xun looked calmly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the thirteenth prince is still very well-behaved on weekdays, and he is also working hard to learn martial arts!"

Emperor Liu murmured for a while, his eyes gradually softened, and he said: "It seems that I care too little about the young children! It's my fault to manage students and not teach them!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Xiang Xun said: "Your Majesty is in charge of the military and state affairs, and manages a lot of opportunities every day. How can you take care of everything? On the contrary, it's the ministers who can't share their worries."

Seeing Xiang Xun doing this again, Emperor Liu stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile, "However, even this little boy knows how to kill the enemy and serve the country, so why worry about the soldiers of the Northern Expedition not being able to use their martial arts to beat the Liao bandits!"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Inside the Privy Council, it was still in the military computer room. With the vigorous development of the Northern Expedition, the main work of the Privy Council was also invested in it, and the military computer room was the command and dispatch center at the rear.The presence of Emperor Liu in person also brought a little tension to the staff members of the Privy Council.

"From Yanshan to Liaodong, there are three main routes!" Emperor Liu and Xiang Xun sat aside and listened carefully to Shi Shouxin's explanation: "First, go out of Yuguan and take the Liaoxi Corridor, which is the main road; The Yanshan trail is not only blocked and difficult; the third is to transport troops by sea!"

"According to the camp report, the East Route Army's specific plan for marching is also these three. The [-] troops along the way, led by Wang Yanchao, the Marquis of Yongqing, will go out of Tanzhou and attack Liao Xinghua, Shenshan and other places to contain their forces. If they break through, You can attack Qi Xi's department by way!

The remaining part of the front and rear troops, the front army was [-] elite, led by Gu'an Hou Ma Renyu, first attacked Jinzhou.Jinzhou is located at the end of the Liaoxi Corridor. It is an important route in and out, and it is also the first pass for troops to enter Liaodong. Liao has heavy troops. According to the report of Wude and the Second Division of Military Intelligence, the city gate is solid and hard to get. It is a big difficulty!
As for the sea route, under the leadership of Marquis Guo Tingwei of Hai'an, first eliminate the Liaosuzhou Navy, clear the Liaohai Sea, ensure the smooth flow and safety of the sea route, choose a place to land as a fortress, and then transport the army from Wuqing Port! "

While Shi Shouxin was talking, Emperor Liu and Xiang Xun nodded, obviously approving of the camp arrangement.

"Xingmin, you commanded a navy back then, what do you think?" Emperor Liu asked Xiang Xun for his opinion.

Xiang Xun nodded and said: "There are many strong castles in Liaodong. Although our army has superior equipment and is good at attacking fortified areas, if we fight one city at a time, it will inevitably waste time and increase losses. According to the arrangement of the camp, if we can Carrying out the intention, the water and land will work together to seize the victory in Liaodong, which will make the Liao army difficult to look at from head to toe, facing the enemy from the front and back, and greatly increase the chances of victory. With the benefits of the water army and the ability of the Marquis of Hai'an to command the army, I believe that it will be successful!"

It's not that Emperor Liu likes to listen to good things, but Xiang Xun's analysis is indeed well-founded and pleasant to listen to, even if he has heard it many times in similar forms.

"Is there any news about the battle?" Emperor Liu looked at Shi Shouxin.

Shi Shouxin responded: "The navy attacked from the sea, and there is no news yet! According to the latest battle report, Ma Renxuan's troops entered Baili, but were rejected by Liao's thousand cavalry. Steady progress. If there is no accident, the army has already arrived in Jinzhou, and the Liaoxi Corridor is only [-] miles away. The Liao army can be delayed, but it cannot affect the mighty momentum of our army!"

"Take the initiative to attack, thousands of horses charge into the formation, the Liao army is not lacking in courage, who leads the army?" Emperor Liu became a little interested.

"Brother Yeluxiu, Liao Jinzhou Defense Envoy!" Shi Shouxin said, "You are not worth a penny!"

Hearing this name, Emperor Liu frowned slightly, and then instructed: "The Liao army still has capable people! Send an order to set up camp, so that they will not be careless and underestimate the enemy!"

"Yes!"

When the army was away, Emperor Liu's interference in the front line often had only similar reminders, and the generals were used to it.
"Looking at the reaction measures of the Liao Army, the will to fight is very firm! I wonder if Liaoyang can be defeated in half a year?" Emperor Liu said for a long time.

Half a year later, it will be winter, and winter is the biggest enemy in marching operations. The Liao army is more used to fighting in winter. If the Bohai Sea freezes again, the navy's advantage will no longer exist.

Shi Shouxin couldn't give a completely affirmative answer to this question. He could only say that if the strategic and tactical intentions could progress smoothly, taking down Liaoyang would not be a big deal.

As for Emperor Liu, after pondering for a moment, he just expressed his support for the Northern Expedition!
