Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Shen could only bite the bullet and come up. Li Shen looked at the map and his mind was running rapidly.

Suddenly he saw a big dot with the words Inner City written on it. He immediately pointed at Inner City and looked at the crowd.

He wanted to ask how far the inner city was from them, and how long it would take for the inner city to send troops to attack them, but before he could speak,

Qiu Xiaozhong answered:

"Does the Governor mean to directly attack the inner city?"

"Attacking the inner city directly?"

Everyone was surprised. Even Li Shen's eyes widened and he looked at Qiu Xiaozhong with confusion. When did I say I would attack the domestic city.

Suddenly Li Daozong clapped his hands and praised:

"Yes, we can attack the domestic city directly. We have 40 troops, plus nearly [-] Goguryeo surrender troops. The Treasure King has no chance at all.

We crossed the river from Momi, took Liangcheng by the way, and then went straight to Heshenggu City, which is the domestic city in the past.

At that time, the Treasure King will either have a big battle with us and then lose his troops and be attacked by Yeongaesomun, or he will abandon the domestic city and cross the Yalu River to develop to the south of Yeongaesomun.

And as long as we occupy the domestic city, all the cities west of the Yalu River will be our cysts, and we can take them whenever we want.

King Ji is indeed a great talent. "

Li Daozong gave a crackling explanation, supplemented Qiu Xiaozhong's words, and then it became Li Shen's brilliant move.

"Oh, my tenth brother is very talented. He has been cunning and cunning since he was a child. It's not because he was smart since he was a child." Li Chengqian praised him quickly.

"King Ji is indeed very resourceful."

"Prince Ji is indeed a handsome man."

Li Shen was stunned, what did I say? I didn't say anything, I just wanted to say that it's important to be prepared for the Treasure King's surprise attack.

What are you guys doing?

Seeing Li Shen like this, many people were even more convinced that Li Shen must have meant this. However, Qiu Xiaozhong and Li Daozong guessed it before they said anything.

That's why Li Shen was so shocked. Even Qiu Xiaozhong looked proud. Look, how accurate my guess was.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't, I'm not." Li Shen wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

"Tenth brother, please stop being modest. You should have come up with such good advice earlier. Although you are the military governor and have no dispatch power, you can come up with good advice." Li Chengqian began to teach Li Shen not to be overly modest. Be sincere to others.

Li Shen nodded blankly and walked back to his seat. He was still thinking about what happened just now.

Seeing everyone praising him, Li Shen really wanted to tell them that it's not how great he is, but how great your brains are.

Soon, everyone began to intensely discuss the detailed battle plan, while Li Shen silently walked out of the commander's tent.

He raised his head and looked at the dazzling sunshine. He could feel a little warmth and couldn't help but sigh that it was really difficult to be himself.

Back at the school grounds, Li Shen looked at the Liuli who had been trained to death and shouted;

"All training volume is doubled today. No meals until you finish."

Soon Li Chengqian issued a command, telling Cheng Yaojin not to come back, but to first station himself at Momi to build a bridge across the river in preparation for the army to cross the river.

The city defense and some related matters have begun to be arranged here. The army cannot leave and there will be no one to manage the city.

The officials sent by Li Shimin should have been on the way, but those literati could not bear to travel long distances, so they walked slower and had not arrived yet.

Two days later, Li Chengqian arranged everything and set off with the army, heading straight for Momi City without stopping at Jiashi at all.

It took seven days of continuous march to reach Momi.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin, Li Chengqian hurried forward to congratulate:

"Congratulations to General Cheng for taking two cities. General Cheng's sword is still young, and it is a great victory when he leaves the army. I will send a letter back to Aye to report it."

"Marshal praised me. In fact, the veteran didn't do anything. They surrendered directly. It was the result of the marshal's persuasion to surrender in advance. The veteran didn't dare to take credit."

It was rare for Cheng Yaojin to be so humble, but the truth also made him depressed.

I originally thought there was a battle to be fought, but as soon as his 20-strong army arrived at the city, the two cities opened their doors and surrendered, giving him no chance to show off.

While others were making arrangements to set up camp, the generals all entered Cheng Yaojin's tent, and Li Chengqian said directly;

"General Cheng, our plan has changed, so we did not let General Cheng return. Now it is almost winter. After winter, our operations will stop.

So we need to speed up and approach the domestic city. "As he spoke, Li Chengqian explained the plan they had discussed to Cheng Yaojin in detail.

Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment after hearing this, and then asked;

"Your Highness, what should Liaodong City do? If Liaodong City is not cured, it will be like a cancer, making it difficult for us to sleep and eat well."

"We have also discussed this. Liaodong City can only defend the city now. They dare not leave the city to attack us. There is General Cheng Mingzhen's [-] troops outside Liaodong City to contain them.

In fact, we don’t really plan to capture the domestic city. We just want to weaken the Treasure King, or make him feel afraid, and drive him to the east bank of the Yalu River. Then, we can watch the fire from across the bank and watch him and Yuan Gaisu Wendou. "

Li Chengqian replied.

Cheng Yaojin nodded. It was indeed the case. If the goal could be achieved, it would be more directly and useful than occupying half of his territory.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian ordered the team to rest for a few days and helped Cheng Yaojin's team erect the unerected pontoon bridge in preparation for the army to cross the river.

It is now the end of October, and the weather in the north has begun to get colder. In history, Li Shimin's first eastward expedition to Goguryeo was successful in the early stage, but in the end it ended in failure because of winter.

Li Shen is a person who loves to enjoy things, and of course he won't just freeze like this. The best heating method in Goguryeo is the big Kang.

The layout of houses in the north is different from that in the south. Kitchens in the north are often in the outhouse of the bedroom, with the kang connected to the stove.

You can also heat the kang while cooking.

So these days Li Shen has been drawing plans for a big Kang. There are no bricks to build with stones. He needs to transform the villages in the occupied area.

Otherwise, when it snows heavily, we don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

There was no winter in this period where people froze to death. As a northerner, Li Shen heard old people say when he was a child that people froze to death in the beginning, let alone more than 1000 years ago.

Food and clothing are always the most basic issues for the people.

These days, no one saw Li Shen. They only knew that King Ji left early in the morning and came back late every day with his guards, who didn't know what he was doing.

It wasn't until one day that Li Chengqian saw the smoke rising from a distant village that he realized that Li Shen might be doing something big.
