Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, his eyes crossed the Liao River, he was the emperor immediately, he knew all the countries in the world, and muttered: "This place is about 100 miles away from the Goguryeo royal city, and the foot soldiers need to march overnight, so they can only use cavalry." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Han Yue nodded and said in a low voice: "What the minister wants to fight is a blitzkrieg, abandon all the foot soldiers, and pay attention to coming and going like the wind." You don't need too many soldiers and horses, just a thousand people. ”

Li Shimin was stunned and scolded: "Ridiculous, Goguryeo is a big country in Liaodong, and the capital has 100,000 permanent soldiers and horses, you actually want to use 1,000 people to sneak attack, don't you want to die?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is very afraid of death!" Han Yue snorted and explained with a smile: "Tonight's sneak attack, the ministers will not go to the royal capital......

"You're not going to the royal capital?" Li Shimin frowned, his eyes flickering faintly.

Han Yue nodded slowly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and said lightly: "From here, cross the Liao River, advance fifty miles to the southeast, and you can reach the Liaodong County of Goguryeo, which is the grain production land of Goguryeo, and there is a city of grain storage, called Xincheng ......"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, he was a military master, and with a little touch, he understood what Han Yue meant, and suddenly realized: "You want to burn their granary?" ”

"Not bad!" Han Yue nodded and smiled, and said, "Today, Gao Yuan not only persecuted me, but also insulted Your Majesty. He did the first day of junior high school and I did the fifteenth, and tonight he burned his grain city and made his army drink the northwest wind. ”

Li Shimin pondered for a long time and hesitated: "Since ancient times, the major events of the military family have been nothing more than cutting off logistics and burning grain and grass. I also know that the name of that grain city is Shinmaru Castle, and there are eight huge granaries built in the city, which store more than half of Goguryeo's military rations......"

The emperor suddenly stopped when he said this, he glanced at Han Yue, slowly expressed his worries, and sighed lightly: "The permanent soldiers and horses of Shinmaru City are not inferior to the Goguryeo royal capital, and the vigilance is even above the royal capital, if you want to use a thousand people to sneak attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed in this move." ”

Li Shimin's worries are not unreasonable, the ancients paid the most attention to the granary guard, and the new pill city is where the granary of Goguryeo is located, and there are barracks stationed around it, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to use a thousand men and horses to sneak attack.

Han Yue smiled and said, "The minister is not going to fight, he is just going to light a fire and burn food, a thousand people are enough......"

"Nonsense, there are at least 50,000 troops stationed in New Pill City, and even if you sneak attack at night, it is absolutely impossible for you to succeed. Not to mention entering the city and setting fire, you can't even rush through the outer fortifications. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's thousand soldiers and horses don't plan to rush over at all, they just need to keep harassing them outside Shinmaru Castle and waiting to take advantage of the fire to rob them."

Li Shimin's face was full of doubts, and he was puzzled: "What kind of fire?" What kind of robbery? ”

Han Yue coughed dryly, he didn't answer the emperor directly, but asked, "Your Majesty, did Gu Mingwei and the others follow you when you came this time?" ”

Gu Mingwei was the down-and-out scholar at the beginning, this person studied Gewu for half his life, was poor all his life, and only changed his fate after defecting to Han Yue.

Li Shimin didn't know why Han Yue suddenly asked Gu Mingwei, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin, and asked lightly: "When I got up from the mutual market, did the people from the research institute follow?" ”

Lao Cheng scratched his head, he was a courtier in front of the emperor, and he was a high-powered prince in front of ordinary people. Although Gu Mingwei was valued by Han Yue, he didn't look at it in Lao Cheng's eyes, and he didn't know if Gu Mingwei had followed.

In the end, it was the eldest grandson who took over the conversation and said softly: "This palace has paid attention to this matter, this time we came here from the mutual market, and all the personnel of the mutual market research institute came with us." ”

Han Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, did they bring the materials of the research institute?" ”

The eldest grandson frowned and recalled, and muttered: "It seems to be pulling more than a dozen carts, full of loads, all covered with thick cloths, and I don't know what it is......"

"More than a dozen carts, haha, the research institute has a total of that little belongings, and all kinds of instruments are filled with five carts at most, but they have pulled more than a dozen carts, it seems that they have completed the task arranged when the minister is leaving."

Everyone was very curious, Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and he shouted lightly: "What the hell has the stinky boy arranged, hurry up and tell me about it, and then dare to learn from someone to sell Guanzi, be careful that your head is not guaranteed." ”

The emperor didn't threaten him once or twice, Han Yue was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that thing is called an incendiary bomb, this thing sounds very strange, in fact, it is a clay pot that is light and brittle and easy to crack, the inside is filled with fire oil, and phosphorus is used as a combustible substance, and after it is broken, it will burn when it encounters the wind, and the stronger the wind, the bigger the fire." ”

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in surprise: "You want to use this thing to burn Goguryeo's Shinmaru City?" ”

"Exactly." Han Yue smiled proudly, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Once this thing ignites, it will be a monstrous fire in the blink of an eye, it is difficult to extinguish with water, it must be covered with sand, hehehe, even if Shinmaru City is equipped with a water dragon to fight fires, it can only stare dryly." ”

"So powerful?" Li Shimin gasped, and the queen and the others also looked at each other.

Han Yue nodded solemnly and said, "If it's not powerful, why would the minister bother studying it?" Before I left the market, I asked Gu Mingwei to start making this thing, and this time he pulled more than a dozen carts, and he thought that he had not been idle. ”

"I see, no wonder you suddenly asked me if Gu Mingwei came, it turned out that he was waiting for his incendiary bombs......" Li Shimin suddenly realized, and Cheng Jinjin next to him suddenly cracked his mouth, and laughed wildly: "No wonder you dare to take a thousand soldiers and horses to Xinmaru City, with this kind of fire-setting artifact in hand, there is really no need for many people." ”

Everyone kept nodding their heads, but Li Shimin suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said: "It's not proper, it's inappropriate, although this thing is magical, but you can't rush through the camp defense of Shinmaru City, and you still can't set it on fire." ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone frowned slightly, yes, no matter how powerful the incendiary bomb is, it can't be set on fire if it can't be thrown into the city, so it can't start from ten miles away.

Jin Ling'er bit her lip lightly and whispered, "The moat of Shinmaru City is connected to the Liao River, and if you can use a boat to go down the river, you may be able to get close to the city defense." ”

"No way!" Li Shimin shook his head slowly and sighed: "You little girl can think of attacking from the waterway, and the ministers of Goguryeo are not fools, and they will definitely fortify at the junction of the Liao River and the moat." ”

Jin Ling'er was stunned and stuck out her tongue at everyone.

The eldest grandson next to her took her in his arms and said softly: "Let them worry about their men's affairs, it's wrong for us to say too much, and it's wrong to say less, it's better not to say it than this." Little girl, go over there with this palace to talk to yourself, I'm very curious about the process of you getting to know the stinky boy......"

The queen pulled Jin Ling'er and walked away slowly, the Central Plains is not like Silla, women cannot participate in military affairs, and the eldest grandson is teaching the chick in advance, lest she marry in the future and not understand the rules, and then cause the court to have a stroke too badly.

The two of them walked away from the place, leaving everyone to ponder on the spot, Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "I have brought a total of 20,000 cavalry this time, you bring all of them, stinky boy, no matter what, I will satisfy your wish to burn New Pill City." ”

Han Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, the minister said that only a thousand soldiers and horses will be used, so there will be no more soldiers." No matter how many garrisons there are in Shin-Marujo, they can only be on the ground, but the minister is in heaven tonight......"
