Of course, the same risk also represents the same benefit. If we can succeed this time, it will prove that we can march from the sea. By then, no matter where in the world, our navy will be able to survive. Li Xiang's World
The strategy is considered theoretically approved.
"Your Highness, didn't you say that we won't have a combat mission this time? Aren't we just here to collect intelligence this time? Why are the navy urging us so urgently?"
Qin Huaiyu has just returned from Goguryeo, so he naturally knows how powerful our naval warships are. After installing artillery on them, no matter what kind of defensive offensive there is on the shore, as long as they can get close to the shore, all kinds of defenses will be destroyed.
Exploded into ashes.
"Everything must be prepared in advance. I planned to collect information in the past, but if the other party is too weak, or if we can solve it, why wait until later? In addition, you also have to do these toasts on the road.
Be prepared for battle. If someone goes too far, we'd better fight all the way, but this time besides these three thousand soldiers, I won't bring one more soldier. It's up to you how to fight."
Li Xiang pointed to the mountains and forests in southern Sichuan and said that there are several chieftains, large and small, gathered here. These people are all descendants of barbarians. On the surface, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they were similar to some countries in the Western Regions. The previous
We didn't bother to care about them because the harvest in this area was too little, and even if we conquered them, it wouldn't be of much benefit to us.
But now the situation is different. Since Li Xiang wants to annex Nanzhao, it is very likely that he will send troops along this road in the future. These people happen to be on the way where we send troops, and they have a good relationship with Nanzhao. Wan
Once we start fighting and they cut off our logistics line, then the soldiers on the front line will be in trouble. Li Xiang will never allow such a thing to happen.
"I originally thought it was an easy march route, but I didn't expect that we are now preparing to attack. But don't worry, Your Highness, although we only brought 3,000 people there, our current army is different from before. These 3,000 people followed us south.
In the Northern War, we have seen almost all kinds of enemies. Maybe we have not fought in the mountains, but as long as we train properly, we should not make any mistakes."
When Li Xiang came back, he had already given them orders to conduct more mountain operations. There were a few hills around Chang'an City, but these hills were nothing compared to the mountains in the south.
"Don't talk so eloquently. You must intensify your training in the past few days. If you need anything, just make a note to get it. If the court does not supply it in time, go directly to Zhi Daobao and see my shopkeeper."
Although Li Xiang brought back a lot of money, most of the money was used by Li Shimin to repair the Yellow River embankment. This amount of funds cannot be touched. Li Xiang has also seen that in many areas, if they are not repaired now
, the embankment will definitely burst next year or the year after that, and the damage caused by then will be much more expensive than repairing the Yellow River embankment. You may have to pay dozens of times the price.
"With His Highness's words, we have nothing to fear. If you want to build an elite army, money is essential. There are many people who only use their mouths to train, but if you have the skills in your hands,
Without money, it is estimated that this army will never be able to form an army."
What Qin Huaiyu said is true. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, there were many elite armies. But now the combat intensity of these armies has declined, because they are no longer needed on the battlefield. Instead, Li Xiang's
My subordinates use it more.
Although Li Shimin also understood this, he also wanted to train some of the elite troops from the past, but was this a small sum? There was money everywhere in the court. If they were to be trained, then they would not know how to do it.
How much money has been spent, let alone repairing the Yellow River embankment, you don't even have the money to repair the palace.
"Scream, isn't this cool?"
When Li Xiang was about to leave, Chang Sunze came over on horseback in the distance. Li Xiang originally thought that this guy couldn't ride a horse, but he didn't expect that he could run fast on a horse. He also shot an arrow with a crossbow just now, although it didn't hit the target.
Red Heart, but he also hit the target from forty meters away, not like a playboy at all.
"What does this mean? There are a few children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City who cannot play like this. Don't forget how their parents came here in the past. When our Tang Dynasty was first established, even the civil servants
My children can also fight, and at that time, they can’t rely on anyone but themselves.”
After Qin Huaiyu's words, Li Xiang understood what was going on. It was indeed not stable enough at that time, and the area controlled by the Tang Dynasty was relatively small. No one thought that the Tang Dynasty could develop into what it is now, and some even thought that the country might be destroyed.
, so as long as there is a male in the family, he must be trained in this from an early age. Not only can he protect himself at critical times, but he can also help the adults take care of the family.
"This kid should be a good seedling. Don't stay in Chang'an City and become a waste. You should pay close attention these days and train him as much as possible. We will take him with us on the road."
Li Xiang can see that Changsun Ze's skills are not weak, but he failed in the past. If he can practice well now, he can be a good helper on the road in the future. Who wants us to master it now?
There is a shortage of people here, otherwise how could we possibly put our thoughts on such a second-generation ancestor.
"Don't follow me back. Since you have already come here, you two should cooperate with each other and train these three thousand people hard for me. When the time comes, I will not ask for one to be equal to a hundred, but one to be equal to ten."
necessary."
When Li Xiang saw that Qin Huaiyu still wanted to go back with him, he immediately persuaded this guy to go back. After this guy came back from Goguryeo, he had not stayed at home for more than five days, but in order to follow Li Xiang south, he had to go back less often.
Don't go home less. What kind of climate can you create just by staying in Chang'an City?
With Li Xiang's words, these three thousand people were really complaining in the next few days. Although they were exchanged by Li Xiang from the system, their combat effectiveness was much stronger than ordinary people, but in mountain combat
I have never trained before, this is a new subject, and my bones are almost torn apart.
