Chapter 377 The most feared thing in marching and fighting is haste

Zhang Liang, the Minister of Justice, has led his troops here.

Now in Youzhou, there are 60,000 people.

The Tang Dynasty was good at defeating the many with fewer people. Li Shimin originally planned to mobilize 100,000 people, saying that he would create a soldier in the world, recruit 100,000, and visit Pyongyang to attack Goryeo.

By calculation, it is not enough now.

Zhang Liang came over to lead the Tang Dynasty Navy, mainly leading 40,000 elite soldiers and 500 warships in the south who were good at water battles in Jiang, Huai, Ling, and Gorge.

He has been appointed by Lee Shimin as the chief marching manager of Pyongyang Road and attacked Gogurye by water.

On the other hand, Li Ji is also preparing to bring people here.

As one of the most outstanding generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally would not forget that he was appointed as the commander of the Liaodong Road marching, that is, the commander of the army, and was expected to lead 60,000 troops.

Of course, above the two major managers is Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was the final commander, and this was the reason why he wanted to lead the army in person.

As for Liu Hongji, Niu Jinda and others, they were just coming to train troops. When the generals arrived, they would be fine.

The same is true for Fang Jun.

He would probably follow Li Shimin to fight, and he might need to command the vanguards to surround the back and break the city, but it would not be his turn to lead a 100,000 army.

In fact, although Li Shimin recruited 100,000 troops, he was still far from enough to face Gogurye.

According to statistics, there are more than 170 cities in Goguli and more than 600,000 households. You should know that the Tang Dynasty now has more than 3.8 million households, which is not much larger than Goguli.

In addition, Gogurye is currently a nomadic fishing and hunting nation. They trained troops across the country, and their strength was not very poor.

You should know that Emperor Yang of Sui personally conquered Goguryeo for the first time, but was still defeated. It is conceivable how powerful Goguryeo was.

This is also why Gogurye thought of annexing Silla, and had a disobedient attitude towards the Tang Dynasty, and repeatedly provoked the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin did not want to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty, so he wanted elite soldiers and generals. Seeing this, he defeated Goguli with the least number of troops to show that he was the orthodox Central Plains and blocked the mouths of the people of the world. Therefore, he wanted to lead the army in person.

When Zhang Liang arrived in Youzhou, he naturally had a sensation.

Everyone knows that since Zhang Liang has reached it, Li Shimin and Li Ji are about to arrive.

Fang Jun was invited to attend a banquet hosted by Zhang Liang. Many generals would come over, and the banquet was extremely lively.

In fact, when I was in Chang'an, many people invited Fang Jun to the banquet. After all, I did some things, and I was the second son of the Fang family, so such things were always inevitable.

However, most Fang Jun will not participate.

First, I felt troublesome. In my previous life, I talked to people and talked to ghosts. I just felt tired and didn’t want to do it again.

He didn't plan to become an official, so he refused.

Of course, in order to avoid being said to be arrogant and arrogant, you will take the initiative to say hello to others when you see someone, laugh when you should, and give gifts when you give gifts, so that you will never feel alienated or offend others.

The same is true for attending Zhang Liang’s banquet now.

"The craftsmen still need some time to be busy. At present, this prince-consort has ordered them to work as soon as possible. But General, you also know that the musket is a new thing and is extremely difficult to make. It requires all rules and regulations to be processed. Therefore, it may not be used in a short period of time!"

"As for the red cannon, there is no need to mention this item. Although the test has been successful, there are still some disadvantages that need to be dealt with. I am afraid that you will have to wait for His Majesty to come before the completion will be completed!"

"Although the battle between Gogurye and Silla is imminent, the most feared thing about fighting is hasty! Once it is hasty, it may cause the morale of the army to be defeated! I have already explained to Your Majesty this matter, and Your Majesty has agreed with this matter!"

"This thing is really so magical?" Zhang Liang was curious.

Fang Jun nodded: "It's a pity that I can't show it to the general. This thing needs to be kept confidential. Assassin just appeared in Youzhou a few days ago!"

When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "In fact, when I was in Chang'an, I once told His Majesty that the musket and the prince-consort of the room. Now when I came here to see him, I am indeed outstanding! I am just curious about the red cannon. If it can be used on the warship, I am afraid that the combat power will be extraordinary!"

"I don't know whether it can be done or not. The new warships are also being made. The warships of the Tang Dynasty are peaceful and cannot ride the wind and waves. I have already written to His Majesty to make them bigger."

"It's better to be bigger! If you're bigger, you can repel the enemy!" Zhang Liang laughed: "It happened that I came here this time to lead the navy. At that time, I'll take a look at what the warship of Prince Consort Fang's princess is like!"

Fang Jun nodded.

The banquet was very lively, and many people toasted Fang Jun.

Although Fang Jun did not drink often, he was considered an alcoholic in his previous life, so he had a very high alcohol tolerance and generally could not get drunk.

But today everyone is in high interest, and with the imminent war, I am afraid that I will never be able to indulge in a while, so after drinking a few bowls in a row, they all drank all the vegetables.

At more than ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda and others didn't want to let Fang Jun go, so they grabbed her and continued to drink. However, when Xiaohe came in, she was a little anxious and immediately notified Jinyang.

Immediately afterwards, Jinyang rushed over from the mansion.

Now, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda and others did not dare to pull Fang Jun to continue drinking, so they could only let him go.

"Drink again next time, drink again next time! Haha!"

"Since the princess is here, I naturally dare not let go. It's just that the prince-consort in the room is quite interesting, and I just hit it off at first sight!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liang laughed and asked someone to send the two back.

Fang Jun was indeed drunk today, and he was drunk. When he saw Jinyang coming, he hugged her and touched her.

Jinyang had a pretty face red, so he had to carry him into the sedan chair with Xiaohe.

Until now, Jinyang has seen him like this for the first time.

Although he also drinks and mutton, he rarely gets drunk. When he sees it now, Jinyang can't help but find it interesting.

"My husband used to say that being an official was not good, and that's the bad. He didn't do this before!" the little girl said to Xiaohe.

Xiaohe was also speechless: "Maybe the prince consort was so excited. It happened that he was fine these days, so he drank a little too much. But I think this is good, just like an ordinary person!"

Jinyang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes!"

Without saying much, he returned to the room and hurriedly took off Fang Jun's top carefully and fed him some sobering soup.

Since the red cannon was made, many people have been very happy.

Even my husband himself is the same.

Although my husband hasn't told her the power of that thing, Jinyang can know that it is definitely an extremely terrifying thing.

In the past few days, the father has issued several imperial edicts, requiring the husband to keep it as confidential as possible and not allow anyone to watch it. He has to wait for the father to come and talk about it.

I also said that this thing is earth-shaking. If you use it well, it can turn the world upside down. It is a huge force, so you must be cautious and cautious.

My husband had nothing to say and was waiting.

Nowadays, several large workshops have been built by the craftsmen.

Sometimes Jinyang and Xiaohe don’t know what their husband is thinking or what they are doing. After all, sometimes what he makes can exceed everyone’s imagination.

Out of everyone's expectations!
