The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1164 Dormant for Three Years
Because the team carried gunpowder, they walked cautiously along the way. After walking for two and a half months, they arrived in Liaodong and entered the boundary of Liaodong City.

At this time, it has entered the end of May, and the weather in Liaodong is gradually warming up, but it is only a little warmer than Guanzhong. In Guanzhong, I am afraid that I have already removed the heavy clothes on my body. The clothes are starting to become thinner.

Xue Rengui is in Liaodong City, because Liaodong City is relatively far away from Anshi City, and it is convenient to watch Gao Huanquan, and the Liaodong City is high and deep, so it is convenient to garrison troops. Naturally, this is the best choice for the entire Liaodong Regional Administration.

Xue Rengui received the news of Xuan Shijing's arrival, and personally brought two hundred soldiers out of the city to meet Xuan Shijing. It was already evening when Xuan Shijing arrived outside Liaodong City. He entered the city that night and arranged a camp for the night. The hard work along the way came to an end.

All the gunpowder brought is still guarded by the five hundred soldiers of Zhuangzi. These gunpowder are very important to the battle situation. It can reduce the casualties of the Tang army.

Gunpowder is not a panacea, but it can reduce the casualties of the Tang army on the battlefield. For Xuan Shijing, it is a panacea.

"Xuanhou, I've been looking forward to you." Xue Rengui led Xuan Shijing to the mansion with a smile on his face.

The development of Liaodong to what it is now is really inseparable from Xuan Shijing's suggestion to Xue Rengui at the beginning. Before Xue Rengui took office, he went to find Xuan Shijing. At that time, he was also confused about Liaodong and did not know where to start. Xuan Shijing clarified his thoughts for him, allowing him to develop steadily in Liaodong for three years.

What was left after the Liaodong army withdrew was really a mess, and no one was willing to pick it up. Although Liu Rengui was stationed in Beisha City, he was in charge of the water army. It was a flattering job, so Xue Rengui, who was not highly qualified, was cheap at the beginning.

It can be considered Xue Rengui's luck. His bravery in front of His Majesty Li Er made a deep impression on His Majesty Li Er. In the end, he was allowed to sit directly on one side, and at least he became a general of one side.

"From what you saw along the way from entering Liaodong to entering Liaodong City, it seems that you have not been idle in Liaodong for the past three years." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Don't dare to be negligent, I also know that when I provoked the matter in Liaodong, if I was not careful, it would be a disaster, so I can only be cautious and conscientiously guard Liaodong." Xue Rengui smiled and said: " For the days ahead, Liaodong City has been preparing for three years."

A boy should wear a Wu hook. Xue Rengui has the ability to gallop on the battlefield, and has the dream of galloping on the battlefield. For the final battle with Goguryeo, he also took a lot of trouble. This is Xue Rengui's pursuit of fame and fame.

"Although Anshicheng has Gao Huanquan as cannon fodder, the chances of winning against Shangquan Gai Suwen are not very high with Gao Huanquan's people, so once this battle is fought, we must get involved in it." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord Hou, this way please."

Xue Rengui invited Xuan Shijing, Fang Yiai and others into the study room, and there were many military books in the study room. In the past three years, Xue Rengui has been managing Liaodong and other places, while also constantly enriching himself. He can't afford books and can barely read. Now sitting in this seat, Xue Rengui has the conditions to read these military books.

People always want to make continuous progress and improve themselves, so is Xue Rengui.

In the study, everyone was seated, while Chang Le and Gao Jun stood guard outside the door.

"General Xue, this is His Majesty's imperial decree." Xuan Shijing took out His Majesty Li Er's imperial decree from his bosom and handed it to Xue Rengui. No outsiders were present, so there was no need for so many complicated etiquettes.

Xue Rengui took the imperial decree from Xuan Shijing's hand and opened it to read.

"This time in the Liaodong battlefield, when attacking Goguryeo, General Xue was the commander in chief, and the Marquis followed him. Brother Fang and Marshal came here to help the Marquis take care of the government soldiers and the Jinyiwei. The dispatch of the army was still made by General Xue. Lord." Xuan Shijing explained.

First tell Xue Rengui that he didn't come to seize power. He came to Liaodong only to assist Xue Rengui in fighting, at most he was a dog-headed military adviser.

Xue Rengui quickly browsed through the content of the imperial decree, and nodded: "So, I ask Lord Hou to give me some advice."

"Hmm." Xuan Shijing responded, "I don't know what General Xue thinks about this battle?"

Xue Rengui heard the words and thought for a while: "Once Gao Huanquan fights with Quangai Suwen's army, we can immediately write a letter to Silla and join forces to attack Goguryeo and Baekje. In the past three years, Goguryeo We have a close relationship with Baekje, and we are still colluding with each other to openly fight against the Tang Dynasty. If this battle can pacify Goguryeo, it can also deter the Three Koreas. We will attack Goguryeo with Gao Huanquan. As for Baekje, let Silla deal with it. The two families have passed away soon, and Silla is attached to Datang, and they generally would not refuse Datang's letter request, let alone deal with Baekje."

"The Great Tang united with Silla to form a north-south attack, which is indeed beneficial to our army, but it is far from enough." Xuan Shijing said: "In this battle, the navy is indispensable."

Saying that, Xuan Shijing stood up and walked to the huge map hanging behind Xue Rengui: "This is Dahang City. If you want to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, you must go to this city, and this city is very close to the sea. The army's login operation is particularly critical. Moreover, marching from the sea can save the energy of the lieutenant and soldiers to the greatest extent. Within ten miles of Daxing City, there are all plains, and the army cannot hide during the march. Once there is a movement, the defenders in Dahang City will find out."

"In this way, a large number of ships are needed to transport soldiers." Xue Rengui said.

"Tomorrow morning, please write a letter to General Liu Rengui of Beisha City." Xuan Shijing said: "Not only the attack on Dahang City, but also the naval army of Goguryeo is a threat."

Xue Rengui nodded: "That's right. In the past three years, the Datang navy often encountered Goguryeo's navy in the Liaodong area. It's just that both sides silently chose to live in peace."

"From the looks of it right now, the most important thing may be whether there are enough ships at the Beisha City Naval Garrison." Xuan Shijing said, "It's not just that the Liaodong side is using a lot, but General Su Dingfang of Hebei has already led troops to the east. Alright, arrive at Wendeng and garrison troops at Wendeng, once we take Dahang City, we can divide our troops into three groups to fight Goguryeo."
