One more chapter.
New Year's Day.
Li Chao put on a purple robe and jade belt again after a long absence, although he does not hold a substantive position in the imperial court now, he still has a rank, a title and an honorary title.
Kaifu Yisi Sansi, Taibao, Shangzhuguo, Zhao Guogong Li Chao.
This is all Li Chao's lords and official ranks now, this product is still from the first product, but the title is the first product.
As the prince of the real seal and the Taibao of the three divisions, Li Chao usually doesn't have to go to the court, but he still has to go on a special day like the Zhengdan Dynasty.
Dressed neatly, Li Chao set off.
The group of little princes and uncles of the Li family, although they are also knights, are not old and do not need to attend.
Today's day is special, and Steward Li made people fight Li Chao's entire honor guard early.
The palace also sent someone over early, a full five hundred soldiers of the Divine Machine Army.
One hundred and three-eyed knights, four hundred shotgunslingers.
Coupled with the Li family's own hundred families, the momentum is extraordinary.
Hugging around Li Chao's carriage, the family emblem of the white tiger and bird Li Shuzhi fluttered on the swallowtail flag.
Along the way, there are such teams everywhere.
Usually, only Beijing officials go to the court, and in the Zhengdan Dynasty, a large number of local officials also enter the Beijing court, plus those who are not in charge of their duties like Li Chao also come to the court today, so the roads are crowded.
The genius was slightly bright, there were no other people on the road, and everyone knew that this morning, and they were all wise to stay at home.
Otherwise, there will be high-ranking officials everywhere on the street, and you won't be able to eat any of them.
Li Chao's team is very spoiled, and there is basically no more pomp and circumstance on the road than his guard of honor.
The carriages of each family took the initiative to give way to Li Chao's convoy, and some princely officials would take the initiative to get out of the car and come over to greet them.
When we arrived at the noon gate, the palace gate had not yet opened.
The convoys of various families had stopped in front, and the officials got out of the station and waited in front of the noon gate.
Everyone held the stove in their hands and chatted together.
As soon as Li Chao appeared, everyone came over to greet him.
"Zhao Guogong" "Taibao" "Ling Gong" Li Chao returned the salute one by one, and Taiwei Li Jing was in good spirits, wearing a purple robe with a flower beard, but he was in good spirits.
"Wenyuan, thank you for what happened last time."
Li Chao replied with a smile, "Gong Wei's words are exaggerated, our two families are in-laws, why bother saying such extraneous words." ” Li Jing has several sons, many grandchildren, and even a bunch of great-grandchildren.
Li Jing's great-eldest grandson was engaged to Li Chao's daughter, and the relationship between the two families was naturally extraordinary.
This time, the imperial court sold Liaodong Jue, and Li Chao's in-laws, that is, Li Jing's eldest grandson, also bought one. bought a real marquis, but it was almost money, and Li Chao took the initiative to borrow money.
Not only did he buy a knight for his in-laws, but Li Chao also took the initiative to say that he could help borrow the cost of territory construction.
One is the Taibao of the Three Divisions, and the other is the Taifu of the Three Princes.
Li Chao and Li Jing are the only two of the three princes of the Tang Dynasty, and both of them resigned and stayed at home, plus they are in-laws, so there is no need to avoid suspicion as in the past.
It turned out that Li Chao was Shang Shuling, and Li Jing was a privy envoy, and the two of them were in charge of the administration and the army, and the two did not have any dealings.
But now, I don't have this scruples.
"Have you heard, recently, the nobles of the real seal have made an appointment to regain Liaodong."
Li Jing told Li Chao a piece of news.
Li Chao didn't feel strange at all, he held the stove in his hand, saying that he had also heard the news.
The emperor gave all of Goguryeo's Liaodong to the nobles as fiefs, and the money was collected.
The nobles spent real money, so they naturally thought that they would be able to get their fiefs one day earlier.
Even if the emperor didn't want to fight Liaodong, now the nobles won't.
There are more than 300 real feudal nobles who spent money to buy land, and these more than 300 nobles, although many of them are second generations like Li Chao's son.
But the people who really pay for it are all generations, what is this country, that prime minister, and this general.
Which one does not occupy a place in the court, or is a thousand-year-old wealthy family such as the five surnames and seven wangs.
"What does Wei Gong think" Li Chao asked with a smile, Li Chao did not object to fighting Liaodong.
As long as he doesn't have a hot brain, he is messing around like Yang Guangzheng Liao, in fact, he supports fighting Liaodong.
Of course, play strategically.

Li Jing and Li Chao have the same idea, "Liaodong has to fight, it is better to fight late than early, take advantage of the current momentum of the imperial court, and send troops to conscript." ” "That's what I mean, I still have to fight, last time Goguryeo offended me, we cut off an arm, and now the vitality is greatly damaged, we can't let them recover.
But be careful, I mean, how to play well.
You can't fight like the previous dynasty, especially not like that.
The terrain of Liaodong is unique, with many high mountains and mountain cities, and the climate is also very cold, so it is especially difficult to supply the army.
The more troops are out, the greater the logistical pressure. ” As soon as Li Jing said about fighting, he came to his senses, stroked his white beard and asked, "Wenyuan, you are a recognized god of war, and the 50,000 people in Goguryeo were not in your hands last time."
Tell me what the trick is. ” "Fighting Liaodong, let's not fight with him and attack on a large scale, and we don't expect to perish in one day.
The Goguryeo people had a territory of thousands of miles, deep and wide, and were quite strong, and it was unrealistic to want to destroy them in one battle.
We must be prepared for a long time, and it is best to use small forces, multiple road attacks, and little by little devouring and consumption.
By the way, contact Silla and Baekje on the Samhan Peninsula behind Goguryeo, they have fought with Goguryeo many times before, and by the way, we can also have a land and water exchange. ” "Land and water" Li Jing was a little puzzled, when the Sui Dynasty went eastward, several times it was by land and water, and attacked Pyongyang from Shandong by sea.
Once, he even directly entered the city of Pyongyang, but he was only a surprise soldier at sea, and he was also a lone soldier all the way.
After all, tens of thousands of horses and horses crossing the sea by boat are no longer possible, and supplies are also difficult and difficult to last.
If the land route cannot be broken through, then the final sea route can only be retreat.
Li Chao smiled, Li Jing still had the idea of fighting a large army.
"We don't have to do that, and we don't have to go directly to Pyongyang for a naval attack.
We don't even need tens of thousands of people, we can use pirate tactics to break up the whole and raid the entire coast of the Goguryeo.
Attacking their villages and towns, capturing their populations, looting their food and property, destroying their crops, burning their villages and towns, in short, shedding Goguryeo blood. ” There has to be something good about fighting.
With the strong strength of Datang, especially with Li Chao's sailing ships and new navigation technology, Li Chao believes that this kind of pirate tactics is completely feasible.
At that time, the Goguryeo people will be overwhelmed.
At the same time, this tactic can also make a fortune.
Looting people, plundering property, and making more money the more you fight.
Li Jing gave Li Chao a thumbs up, "Ruthless, but it will indeed be effective." ” Li Chao laughed, if the imperial court can adopt this plan, Li Chao can still sell a wave of sailing warships to the imperial court, and maybe even ask Li Shimin for a merchant ship privateering license, and then Li Ji's merchant ships, and even all the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty, can go to plunder Goguryeo.
Selling ships can make a profit, and orders from the imperial court can allow the shipyard to expand in size.
And if you let go of plundering the coast of Goguryeo, you can still take a large number of people back, and Li Chaozheng is short of people.
The noon gate has been opened, Li Jing packed up his official robe, and sighed to Li Chao, "Your plan is better than 100,000 male soldiers." t1706231537:
