Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 392: Your Majesty, the last general has the courage to request an expedition to Goguryeo

"Your Majesty, I am brave enough to request an expedition to Goguryeo." The man stood up and said with clasped fists.

"Okay. Ready to play!" Yang Yanzhang shouted loudly.

"Long live your Majesty, long live our Emperor, Your Majesty is wise." All the civil and military officials in the hall stood up, bowed and shouted.

"Pingshen!" Yang Yanzhang waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All civil and military officials stood up straight, waiting for Yang Yanzhang's next arrangement.

"Minister Zhang, you are responsible for preparing food supplies to prevent the Family Alliance from defeating the war, slowing down the march of the Tang Dynasty, and affecting the national destiny!" Yang Yanzhang turned to look at a middle-aged man with a beard and said.

"According to the order." The man named Minister Zhang said with his fists clasped.

"Cheng Aiqing, you will lead an elite force of the Forbidden Army to assist Minister Zhang in preparing military supplies, and monitor various places to prevent the rebels from taking the opportunity to cause trouble." Yang Yanzhang ordered again.

"I obey the decree!" Minister Cheng said.

"Pei Aiqing, you lead three thousand crossbowmen and secretly assist Minister Zhang in organizing military supplies. Remember, unless there is important news, nothing should be exposed." Yang Yanzhang asked again.

"Yes. Please remember this, Wei Chen." Pei Aiqing also stood up and said.

Yang Yanzhang gave instructions to the other ministers one by one, and finally looked at all the civil and military officials, and said thoughtfully: "My dear friends, I am convening you today mainly to discuss the strategic deployment of this attack on Goguryeo.

Let's talk now. Do you have any good suggestions? "

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Because no one has thought about this plan at all. The so-called tactics are nothing more than using military tactics, intelligence, the quality of weapons, morale, and the quality of generals to ensure the chance of victory.

But in this situation, even the art of war is of no use.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Yang Yanzhang sighed softly and said: "Forget it, I will do it myself. You tell me first, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is stupid, please show me!" This time, Yang Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs, said respectfully.

Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said: "You old foxes are stupid, you don't bother to think about it. I ask you, the royal family of Goguryeo has been destroyed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Goguryeo are now leaderless.

If I ordered you to lead troops to recover Goguryeo, what would you do? "

After hearing Yang Yanzhang's words, Yang Guang's face suddenly turned bitter. Yang Guang had already considered what Yang Yanzhang said, but he couldn't come up with a specific plan for a while.

After all, those Goguryeo royal families fled to the northeast of Goguryeo, which was very far away from Chang'an. The Tang Dynasty's army was far inferior to the Goguryeo royal family in terms of size and equipment. How to fight this battle?

"Your Majesty, although Goguryeo has been destroyed, it still has a large number of tribal forces in the country. Moreover, Goguryeo is densely covered with mountains and forests, with numerous mountains and rivers and complex terrain.

It is extremely difficult to completely defeat the Goguryeo army. And our goal is to occupy the Goguryeo Royal Capital. As long as we control the Goguryeo Royal Capital, then we will occupy the natural danger.

The Goguryeo people wanted to conquer the Goguryeo capital again, but there was basically no hope. Only by completely destroying the Goguryeo royal court can the threat to the Goguryeo royal family be truly eliminated. "Yang Yanzhang continued.

"Your Majesty is wise. However, we have thoroughly studied the geographical environment of Goguryeo. It is not easy to capture the King of Goguryeo." Minister Zhang said with admiration.

Yang Yanzhang nodded and said, "In that case, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works will immediately formulate a detailed battle plan." "I obey the order!" Everyone saluted.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." At this time, a scribe in blue stood up and said.

"Speak!" Yang Yanzhang waved his hand and said.

"There is a plateau in Goguryeo called the Tubo Plateau, which the Goguryeo people call Tianzhu. It is one of the largest plateaus in Goguryeo. Tubo has a unique landform, starting from the Snowy Mountains in the west and the Bohai Bay in the east.

It starts from the desert dunes in the north and is adjacent to the prairie in the south. It is narrow from east to west, and is covered by heavy snow on all sides. There is only a small path in Tubo that can pass through. The Tubo Plateau is rich in white yaks. The yak meat is fat, tender and delicious, and is the best in the world.

However, there are a lot of altitude sickness on the Tubo Plateau, and ordinary people cannot live at all, let alone eat yak meat. However, Goguryeo did not lack plateau herdsmen. This resulted in a huge number of white yaks in Goguryeo. "

"Then what do you mean?" Yang Yanzhang asked with a frown.

The Tsing Yi scribe smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Tubo Plateau is the choke point we must pass through to enter Goguryeo. We only need to occupy the Tubo Plateau.

It would be able to cut off the supply line between Datang and Goguryeo. As long as their supply line is cut off, Datang will definitely win. "

After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and said, "I agree with your suggestion. Let's do what you said."

"Your Majesty, who is our commander in charge of this expedition to Goguryeo?" a civil servant suddenly asked.

Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "I plan to transfer Pei Yuanqing to the front line to command the battle."

Yang Yanzhang knew that Pei Yuanqing was a fierce man. With his two thousand personal guards, he killed fifty or sixty Goguryeo royal families in just one day, which shows his bravery.

Moreover, Pei Yuanqing was good at commanding troops. With two thousand cavalry, he had a great effect on the entire army.

After hearing His Majesty's words, the others had no objections. After all, Pei Yuanqing was Yang Yanzhang's younger brother, and he once led two thousand cavalry into battle.

With 10,000 soldiers and horses, he gained a lot in the war between Tuyuhun and Baekje. Such a fierce man is enough to take on a big responsibility.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the elite of the military department to follow Mr. Pei to conquer Goguryeo!" Minister Zhang immediately knelt down in the hall and said excitedly.

Minister Zhang clearly knew the importance of Pei Yuanqing's two thousand cavalry in the army. As long as Pei Yuanqing can successfully complete the mission, Datang will quickly expand its army after the battle. This is extremely beneficial to the court.

Yang Yanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "Pei Yuanqing is a hero of our Tang Dynasty, and I cannot deprive him of his glory. Therefore, Zhang Qing, you still sit in the court and are responsible for the stability of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Yuanqing is my younger brother, so I naturally trust him. As for the elite of the Ministry of War, I will leave it to Li Jing. He can also shoulder this important task. "

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Minister Zhang immediately knelt down and said gratefully. Yang Yanzhang let Li Jing lead the army. This was a sign of trust in him. Minister Zhang kept this friendship in mind.

"Yes!" Yang Yanzhang responded lightly, then looked at the others and said, "Is there anything else? If not, just retreat!"
