At noon, Zhang Shigui was supported by He Zongxian and came to the big tent of the Chinese army. first saluted Li Shimin, and then met with Wei Chigong.

Seeing Zhang Shigui coming, Wei Chigong asked, "The time has come, I don't know how your landing plan is prepared." ”

"Back to the marshal, the last general really doesn't have that ability. But fortunately, He Zongxian, the virtuous son-in-law of the last general, read military books and war strategies. So the general begged him to write a plan for him. Zhang Shigui said to Wei Chigong.

"The virtuous son-in-law you are talking about is this He Zongxian. Why didn't Ben Shuai see where he looked like a man who had read military books and war strategies? ”

"Say, is it that in your vanguard army, there is a hidden emperor's Ying Mengxian minister. You coerced him into writing this landing plan for you. Wei Chigong slapped the case and asked angrily.

"Marshal, you can slander the last general, the last general has already told the emperor. In Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, there is no one named Xue Rengui at all. The emperor's Ying Mengxian minister is He Zongxian, the son-in-law of the last general. Zhang Shigui said to Wei Chigong.

"Why argue so much, whether He Zongxian is a virtuous minister or not, we won't know the truth or falsehood as soon as we take the test." After Xu Maogong finished speaking, he took the plan from Zhang Shigui's hand.

Then after opening it, he began to ask He Zongxian questions non-stop. Let him explain the proposal for the landing plan.

However, Zhang Shigui had already prepared and asked Xue Rengui to explain in detail. So at this time, he was taking He Zongxian, so naturally he couldn't be tested.

Seeing that Xu Mao had something to say, He Zongxian had something to say. Zhang Shigui on the side was so happy in his heart. said secretly in his heart: "This time, I think who of you dares to say that my son-in-law is not Ying Mengxianchen." ”

"Your Majesty, from the current point of view, this plan should indeed be written by He Zongxian. And this plan is also very feasible. Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"According to what the military advisor said, doesn't that mean that this He Zongxian is my Ying Mengxian minister." Li Shimin asked Xu Maogong.

"I'm afraid I can't confirm this alone, but General He Zongxian is in the forward battalion. When the time comes, when the two armies are fighting, his performance will naturally be seen by the emperor. ”

"As long as this He Zongxian is the emperor's Ying Mengxian minister, he will naturally pass the test and be invincible along the way." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"The military advisor is reasonable, whether it is my Ying Mengxian is not bad for a moment. After crossing the sea to conquer the east, after my Tang Dynasty leveled his Eastern Liao Kingdoms, it is not too late to reward him. Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Since the emperor thinks this plan is feasible, then Zhang Shigui, you can go down and arrange according to the plan. The ship must be renovated within seven days, and ten days later the commander will board the ship and cross the sea. Wei Chigong said to Zhang Shigui.

At this time, Zhang Shigui was very happy in his heart, and after nodding to Wei Chigong and making a promise, he left with his son-in-law.

Looking at Zhang Shigui and He Zongxian who were leaving, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help laughing out loud. Then he laughed and said: "This is the so-called self-righteousness, always feeling that I am doing everything seamlessly." didn't know that everything had already been penetrated by others. ”

"I said Cheng Biting Jin, if this matter is not for Li Tai's kid to strategize. As you can guess, Zhang Shigui's army hid Xue Rengui. ”

"I'm afraid you've been fooled by others a long time ago." Wei Chigong looked disdainful and said to Cheng Yanjin.

Now Zhang Shigui already feels that he has done a trick. In that case, let's go ahead with his plan. Xu Maogong said with a smile.

……

Zhang Shigui, who returned to the pioneer camp, did not fade with joy. He ordered someone to take ten jars of fine wine and fifty catties of pork, and sent them to the Huotou camp to reward Xue Rengui.

Zhang Shigui did this, but it was not his conscience that he wanted to thank Xue Rengui for his help. Instead, he is going to use small favors and small favors to win over Xue Rengui.

After all, Xu Maogong has already said that in the next big and small battles across the sea to the east. It also depends on the performance of his son-in-law He Zongxian.

His son-in-law is half a catty and eight taels, how could Zhang Shigui not know. So he had already made up his mind and was ready to let Xue Rengui and He Zongxian sing a double reed to Li Shimin.

While Zhang Shigui settled Xue Rengui, he began to modify the warship. The way this ship is modified is actually quite simple.

That is, at the bottom of the transshipment ship, a layer of water barrier is added. In this way, you can avoid the opponent sending a navy to sneak under the ship and scuttle the ship.

Therefore, it is not very troublesome to transform. It took only six days to complete it ahead of schedule. and reported to Wei Chigong.

Now that the ship has been built, the next step is to board the ship and cross the sea. From Dengzhou across the sea to Liaodong, the sailing time should take three to five days.

Zhang Shigui commanded more than 50 warships and led the vanguard army to take the lead in going to sea. After all, 500,000 troops crossed the sea at the same time, and the ships needed were not half a star.

Therefore, the landing plan provided by Xue Rengui is to land in batches and echelons. The first to land was naturally Zhang Shigui's vanguard army.

After the vanguard army successfully landed on the golden beach, the fleet returned to meet the main army. Plus the hundreds of warships remaining in the hands of the main army. You can transport everyone to the Eastern Liao Kingdom at one time.

Looking at the battleship slowly moving away, Wei Chi Jingde asked Xu Maogong: "I said military advisor, how long do you think they will be able to occupy Golden Beach." ”

"It takes at least three to five days to sail from here to the golden sand beach on the other side. However, it is not easy to successfully win the golden beach. Xu Maogong said with his hand curling his beard.

"If you don't know, say you don't know, and it's not a shame to say that you can't figure it out. Why bother there? At this time, Cheng Yanjin on the side spoke.

"I can't figure it out, can you figure it out, then you tell the marshal, tell the emperor. How long will it take for Zhang Shigui to occupy the golden beach? Xu Maogong looked at Cheng Yanjin and said.

"If I could pinch and calculate, I would have become a military advisor a long time ago, and what would I do with your bull's nose." Cheng Yanjin said confidently.

"Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin, how many times have I told you. Before you speak, you have to go through your brain, and when they finish speaking, is it too late for you to refute? Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Yanjin with a helpless expression and said.

Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Xu Maogong smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, it will be more than a month or less than ten days." Zhang Shigui will definitely be able to win the golden beach. ”

"Strategist, I'm afraid it's hard to succeed at this time. The other side has long known that we are ready to cross the sea to the east. And this golden sand beach is the first battlefield to bear the brunt. ”

"Could it be that King Gao Jianzhuang didn't know the importance there. Even if King Gao Jianzhuang didn't know, how could Gai Suwen, the generalissimo of the Eastern Liao Kingdoms, not know. Li Shimin said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, you should understand when you look up." Xu Maogong pointed to the sky and said to Li Shimin with a smile.
