Cangzhou. \ Yuan Shan has already learned about His Majesty's personal conquest.
Ma He also came over to add him the title of Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Fleet, even if everything was done by his deputy Zhang Liang.
After Li Shimin arrived by train, Cangzhou had already gathered 100,000 of the most elite horses of the Tang Dynasty, as well as 50,000 Nanya forbidden troops.
A total of 150,000 horses, plus the Tang Dynasty Navy is full of 200,000 people.
Li Shimin came to Cangzhou for the second time, but he responded to the saying that one is born and two are ripe.
It was resolute to get out of the car with a group of people from the military department.
Yuan Shan, Jiang Chengwang, Gao Biaoren, Zhang Shenwei, and the main personnel of Cangzhou are all here.
"Yuanshan, you kid looks beautiful, this sea breeze is really chic."
Cheng Zhijie came over and almost chatted.
"Uncle Cheng speaks funny, and it's not good if the sea breeze blows too much."
Yuan Shandao.
He was telling the truth, it was cold in winter and wet in summer.
"Yuan Shan, you kid is very energetic, this is the clothes of the Tang State Navy, it looks very spiritual."
Li Daozong came over and said.
Niu Jinda and Yuan Shan are not familiar with each other, they fought side by side when they moved to King Lu last time, and they are familiar.
Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde were very familiar, and they all came over to say hello.
The crowd was very welcoming.
Yuan Shan saw that these were battle maniacs, and they would be happy if there was a fight.
The port office then became the headquarters of the expedition.
Yuan Shan sat in a position that was not low, although he couldn't help much, and he didn't know what to do with letting him come over, but could he refuse.
"Yuan Shan, in this expedition to Goguryeo, the Tang fleet will play a vital role."
Li Shimin said.
Yuan Shan knew that the time had come to show his loyalty, anyway, he took a formality, and in the end he didn't want Zhang Liang to take the boat, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, all the actions of my Tang Navy are under command." ” "Alright, now let's talk about the plan."
Li Shimin said.
Li Jing said solemnly: "Okay, our military department 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 force a landing by water, and the third is to make a detour to Silla to reasonably confront Goguryeo and Baekje. ” Yuan Shan saw the plan sent to him, turned a few pages and found that the content was quite comprehensive.
"If you have any comments and suggestions, you can talk about them."
Li Shimin said.
"When will the troops be sent," Yuan Shan began.
"It is expected that the troops and horses will be deployed in half a month."
Li Jing said.
"In terms of time, the materials may be insufficiently prepared, a little hasty, my reason is very simple, the terrain of Liaodong is steep, easy to defend and not easy to attack, without all preparations, I am afraid that this aspect will be delayed."
Yuan Shan said bluntly.
"Stand back," Li Shimin muttered.
"Hahaha, this statement is interesting, your consideration is very right, I also feel that logistics must keep up, the soldiers of the Tang State are strong in combat and brave in battle, but the reason that the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first is always right."
Cheng Zhijie published a general theory.
Everyone is thinking, the topography of Liaodong is indeed a very important factor, if it were not for the easy defense and difficult attack, Emperor Yang of Sui would not have been defeated, although it was not all because of geographical advantages, but it could be regarded as the majority.
"What Yuan Shan said is right, but if the troops are sent later, Yuan Gai Su Wen will definitely have more time to prepare, and then our side will fall into passivity."
Li Jidao.
Li Daozong said: "It's much easier for us to take the waterway, and we can fight steadily after we attack the island." ” Yuan Shan felt that the waterway was indeed a good choice, so why didn't Emperor Yang of Sui fight it back then, he didn't say it, but thought about it.
"The waterway is feasible, ten treasure ships can transport 30,000 troops at a time, and with the two cargo ships Cangzhou and Satisfaction, they can transport up to 50,000 troops."
Yuan Shandao.
The distance from Cangzhou to Beisha City is not far, in addition to treasure ships, merchant ships, fishing boats can be deployed, it is very easy to transport 70,000 or 80,000 troops at one time, and it is easy to take the sea route on the one hand, Liaodong land route still has to send people to contain the local forces, the main attack on the sea route, the fleet opens the way, and there are enough materials to lay down half of the land.
The other half is Silla, and the current situation is really not thick-skinned and can't cope with it, but everything is respected by the strong, and it is a matter of time before Silla is taken.
Wonseon thought that the problem was not comprehensive enough and was naïve, but in fact, the geographical advantages of Goguryeo and Silla could simply determine success or failure.
"Okay, in that case, we'll focus on the sea route."

Li Shimin said.
"Generals, what do you think?"
Li Shimin continued to ask.
"I agree."
Li Daozong said.
"I agree."
Duan Zhixuan said.
Then they basically raised their hands and agreed, which was considered to be an endorsement of the plan.
After the meeting was dispersed, Yuan Shan began to arrange ships, and it was necessary to wait for ten warships, and after three days, it would take a week to transport troops to Beisha City, and the time for preparing materials was the most delayed.
Yuan Shan watched the convoy back and forth in the port office, and the materials were almost piled up into a small mountain.
He knew that after the battleship set off, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm, and he couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, because soft-heartedness would not play any role.
He was not optimistic about these places in Goguryeo, he was more concerned about the occupation of Liaodong, if he could occupy it and go north, and use Vladivostok as a port of the Tang Kingdom, it could directly correspond to Donghaeju, and if he was taking Silla, it would definitely be the strategic pattern of the Iron Triangle.
Yuan Shan suddenly stopped this prospect, because he felt that it was not difficult to realize this plan, it was the manpower and materials of Datang that were paid, and the process was bloody, but he didn't have to go through all this, so he dared to imagine.
"Lan Guogong, the port ship can depart in three days."
Zhang Shenwei came in and said.
"Then let the people from the military department prepare in advance, how is Deputy Governor Zhang preparing," Yuan Shan asked.
"Taizong will be the flagship of His Majesty, and the two ships of Snapdragon and Jiaolong will be the main attack ships, and Deputy Governor Zhang arranged it this way."
Zhang Shen said slightly.
"Yes, that's just right."
Yuan Shandao.
Now the warships with the most complete firearms are the Snapdragon and Jiaolong, and His Majesty took the Taizong and just liberated the two capital ships.
"By the way, Li Jing from the Ministry of War just now asked me to hand this over to you."
Zhang Shen said slightly.
Yuan Shan opened it and looked at it, very helpless, how could he be the commander-in-chief of the Snapdragon battleship, and Zhang Liang was the deputy commander of the Jiaolong battleship, isn't this.
Yuan Shan answered and went to the conference room.
"I have something to say about the appointment of a commander on the ship."
Yuan Shan said after entering the house.
"What do you want to say, there may be many variables in the Goguryeo battle, you can rest assured."
Li Shimin said. xb1806091:
