Because the team carried gunpowder, they walked carefully along the way, and walked for two and a half months before they arrived in Liaodong and entered the territory of Liaodong City.

At this time, it has entered the end of May, and the weather in Liaodong has gradually warmed up, but it is only a little warmer than Guanzhong.

Xue Rengui is in Liaodong City, because Liaodong City is relatively far away from Anshi City, and it is convenient to look at Gao Huanquan, and Liaodong City is high and deep, which is convenient for garrisoning, so it is naturally the best choice as the entire Liaodong Regional Governance Office.

Xue Rengui received the news of Xuan Shijing's arrival, and personally took two hundred soldiers out of the city to meet Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing arrived outside Liaodong City when it was already evening, and entered the city that night, and arranged a camp overnight.

All the gunpowder brought is still guarded by the five hundred soldiers on Zhuangzi, these gunpowders are very important for the war situation, there is no gunpowder, as soon as the fight starts, it is to fill it with human lives, Xuan Shijing brought gunpowder, but also hoped to reduce the casualties of the Tang army.

Gunpowder is not omnipotent, but it can reduce the casualties of the Tang army on the battlefield, which is all-powerful for Xuan Shijing.

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

The development of Liaodong to the present is really inseparable from the advice that Xuan Shijing gave to Xue Rengui at the beginning, when Xue Rengui went to find Xuan Shijing before taking office, he was also confused about Liaodong at that time and didn't know where to start, or Xuan Shijing gave him a clear idea, so that he developed steadily in Liaodong for three years.

Although Liu Renliang garrisoned the army in Beisha City, he was in charge of the navy, and he also took advantage of this reason to escape the thankless job of garrisoning and governing Liaodong, so he was cheap Xue Rengui, who was not highly qualified.

It can be regarded as Xue Rengui's luck, he showed courage in front of His Majesty Li Er back then, which left a deep impression on His Majesty Li Er, and in the end, let him sit directly on one side, and he became a general.

"From entering the boundary of Liaodong to entering Liaodong City, what you saw along the way, it seems that you have not been idle in Liaodong in the past three years." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be lazy, I also know that when I provoked the matter here in Liaodong, one carelessness would be a catastrophe, so I could only be cautious and conscientious to guard Liaodong." Xue Rengui said with a smile: "For the next few days, Liaodong City, I have been preparing for three whole years. ”

The boy should be born with Wu Hook, Xue Rengui has the ability to gallop on the battlefield, has the dream of galloping on the battlefield, for the last battle with Goguryeo, he is also quite troubled, who does not have the desire to be promoted to make a fortune, as a soldier to eat military rations, the battlefield is famous, this is Xue Rengui's pursuit.

"Although there is Gao Huanquan as cannon fodder in Anshi City, with Gao Huanquan's little people against Shangquan Gai Suwen, the odds are not great, so once this battle starts, we will definitely mix it up." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou, please come here."

Xue Rengui invited Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai and others into the study, and a lot of military books were placed in the study, in the past three years, Xue Rengui has been governing Liaodong and other places, while constantly enriching himself, his family was poor before, he couldn't afford to read, and he was barely literate, and now he is sitting in this position, Xue Rengui also has the conditions to read these military books.

People always have to keep making progress and constantly improving themselves, and the same is true for Xue Rengui.

In the study, everyone sat down, and Chang Le and Gao Jun stood guard outside the door.

"General Xue, this is His Majesty's holy decree." Saying that, Xuan Shijing took out the holy decree of His Majesty Li Er from his arms and handed it to Xue Rengui, no outsiders were present, so there was no need for so many complicated rituals.

Xue Rengui took the holy decree in Xuan Shijing's hand and opened it to see.

"This Liaodong battlefield, attacking Goguryeo, with General Xue as the main commander, Ben Hou from it, Second Brother Fang and the marshal came over to help Ben Hou take care of the affairs of the army and the Jinyi Guard, and the army dispatch is still dominated by General Xue." Xuan Shijing explained.

Tell Xue Rengui first, he didn't come to seize power, he came to Liaodong to assist Xue Rengui in fighting, at most to be a dog-headed military advisor.

Xue Rengui quickly finished browsing the content of the holy decree and nodded: "In this way, I also ask Master Hou for more advice." ”

"Hmm." Xuan Shijing responded: "I don't know what General Xue thinks of this battle?" ”

Xue Rengui heard this, and thought for a while: "Once Gao Huanquan's side fights with Quangai Suwen's army, we can immediately repair a letter to Silla, unite with Qi, and attack Goguryeo and Baekje, in the past three years, Goguryeo and Baekje have been in close contacts, and they are still colluding, openly confronting the Tang Dynasty, if this battle can pacify Goguryeo, it can also deter the land of Sanhan, we and Gao Huanquan will attack Goguryeo, as for Baekje, let Silla deal with it, the two families will not be long together, Silla is attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty's letter request, they generally will not refuse, not to mention dealing with Baekje. ”

"Datang unites with Silla to form a north-south flank attack, which is indeed beneficial to our army, but this is far from enough." Xuan Shijing said: "In this battle, the navy is indispensable. ”

As he spoke, Xuan Shijing stood up and walked to the huge map hanging behind Xue Rengui: "This is Daxing City, if you want to enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, you must go down to this city, and this city is very close to the sea, and the naval army login operation is particularly critical, and marching from the sea can save the physical strength of the officers and soldiers in the army to the greatest extent. ”

"As a result, a large number of ships are needed to transport the soldiers." Xue Rengui said.

"Tomorrow morning, please also ask for a letter to General Liu Renliang of Beisha City." Xuan Shijing said: "Not only to attack Daxing City, but also to attack Goguryeo's naval army, it is also a threat. ”

Xue Rengui nodded: "Yes, in the past three years, the Tang Dynasty Navy has often encountered Goguryeo sailors on the sea in the Liaodong area, but both sides have silently chosen to be safe." ”

"At the moment, the most nervous thing may be whether there are enough ships on the side of the naval garrison in Beisha City." Xuan Shijing said: "It's not just that Liaodong has a large amount of use, General Su Dingfang of Hebei has already led his troops eastward to Wendeng, garrisoning troops in Wendeng, once we take Daxing City, we can fight against Goguryeo in three ways." ”
