The Tang army's good news spread to Jicheng, Youzhou, and Li Yuanai's smile was open. I never thought that Goguryeo had no one but Yang Wanchun.

In more than 30 cities of all sizes, no one could withstand the beating. Gao Yanshou came to give him experience without disappointing expectations.

Although it is not as much as I have given in history, it is a total of 150,000 yuan. According to the current situation, it is already very good to be able to give 60,000 yuan.

The requirements for him should not be too high.

But as the Tang army went deeper and deeper, the pressure Li Yuanai felt became heavier and heavier.

China has a history of war for thousands of years, and all kinds of tactics and strategies have been thoroughly studied.

In addition to the tactical and tactical methods of the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Pre-Qin and Han Dynasty, it is an innovation, most of the descendants followed their tactical strategies. Winning and losing all depend on each other's understanding and application of tactics.

Goguryeo Yuan Gaisuwen was born into a noble family. In this era when the whole nation learned Chinese culture, the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wu Zi's Soldiers" may not be worse than the generals and officials of the Tang Dynasty. They can not only recite the genuine version, but also recite the Peninsula Hikari version.

You know a lot, and they are not bad either.

Yuan Gaisuwen contracted across the board, and his strategic intentions were very obvious, which lengthened the Tang army's front line.

Didn’t I clear the canal and place the base camp in Jicheng? Then I will give up the front line and leave the most difficult mountain path to you to increase the risk of your food transport route. If you have the ability, you can build the canal to Liaodong!

The first step is to lengthen the Tang army's front line, and the second step is to harass the food industry in old-fashioned ways.

There are many mountains and forests in the Northeast, and the Goguryeo fishing and hunting people are good at wading through mountains and rivers.

As soon as their small troops were hiding into the mountains and forests, the forest coverage in the northeast was 100,000, and if you sent a million troops into the forest, it would be like a river flowing into the sea, and it would not cause any storm.

In Liaodong, Li Shimin was able to send lightning-driving Tielle cavalry to escort the grain transport team. But after passing Liaodong and entering the northeast forest, it was the world of Goguryeo's small troops. They could run away if they could, and fought if they could. They were elusive. The Tang army had no way to deal with the Goguryeo small troops hidden in the mountains and forests. They did not take Goguryeo seriously when fighting in the field, but fighting in the mountains and forests might not be an opponent.

Li Shimin is a little regretful now, why didn’t he recruit some soldiers from Sichuan and Shu government?

Compare who is the king of the mountains?

The grain transport team was plagued along the way.

The Tang army, which guards the grain transport team, is not weak in combat. The grain transport team may suffer losses, but there is no situation where the grain transport team is robbed.

But it will inevitably decrease when it is attacked along the way.

The journey was long and the pressure of transporting food was extremely heavy. I was hit by the attack along the way, and all kinds of irresistible situations occurred. The servant who had been there once dared not go there again.

The soldiers transporting grain were almost the same. They were nervous and under the greatest pressure when facing enemies that could appear all the time.

Once you go, your mental power will be almost exhausted. If you really need to do it a few more times, you may not collapse.

This kind of thing is most common in the army.

Isn’t this the so-called bombing camp, the army is shocked and the killing of each other?

"This time, I am also a pity for His Majesty to let the frontline soldiers repair it on the spot. Otherwise, my subordinates would not be able to guarantee the completion of the task."

The food transport task this time was the most important. They transported not only food and grass, but also winter clothes and quilts collected by the court for the front line.

Perhaps because of the news, Goguryeo attacks were particularly frequent.

Tang Jun lost a lot, burned more than 100 sets of quilts and coats, which delayed a lot of time.

Li Yuanai listened to Lai Ji's complaint silently, patted his shoulder with a smile, and said, "Okay, I understand that you have worked hard. I will record this credit, and you will definitely benefit me."

When Lai Ji heard this, he patted his chest happily and said, "Where is no need to work for the court? Wait for the subordinates to rest for a while, return to their vitality, and then serve the court."

Li Yuanai smiled and sent Ji out. From this spirit of taking credit and daring to fight, he could determine that this person's future would be good.

After dealing with the things in his hands, Li Yuanai went to Linshuo Palace to find Li Zhi to investigate the situation on the front line.

Li Zhi was in the palace and talked about the important matters.

Li Yuanai could see that Li Zhi was using Liu Shi as a reward and led him as his helper.

Li Zhi's move is still accurate.

The three people Li Shimin arranged for him, Gao Shilian, Ma Zhou and Liu Wei.

Gao Shilian didn't have to think about it. He was Li Shimin's hardcore, Empress Changsun's dearest uncle.

Ma Zhou is the most talented and favored. He is introverted and obedient, and will not choose his position in advance.

Only Liu Shi had political ambitions and had enough talent to support his ambitions, he was the only candidate who would join the princeling party.

Seeing Li Yuanai coming, Li Zhi said: "I came just right, and I happened to talk about logistics issues with Shangshu. According to the letter from my father, it has cooled down. It is cooled down in late August, and it is estimated that it will snow in mid-to-late September. It is conceivable what will happen in November and February. My father does not consider a quick battle and a quick decision, so as not to have time to prepare for charcoal. He plans to set up camps on the west bank of Yaluzha. At the same time, he builds earth kilns in the camp and sends soldiers to cut down oaks, make oak charcoal, and resist the cold winter. In the letter, he said that the hinterland of Goguryeo is full of trees and oak forests are in large areas, which is more than enough for the army to spend the winter."

"The father also said that their food and grass can be maintained until mid-December, and our next batch of food and grass should be delivered in early December. This time, the transportation of food will be a real test related to logistics."

Li Yuanai nodded solemnly and said, "I thought about this issue and asked me to come today. I plan to escort the food myself to face various bad situations next time I transport food."

Li Zhi had a heavy expression and paused, "Do you understand the situation? From Jicheng to the front line, it will take at least one month to go. At that time, it is winter, and it is impossible to estimate the wind, rain and snow. It is cold and the ground is frozen, the grass and trees are frozen, and even snow is even more accumulated. All of this will cause great inconvenience to the grain team... The father's letter also said that if the grain and grass cannot be transported in early December, he will withdraw from the Yaluzha. He uses the remaining grain to retreat, join the grain team, and make plans."

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "It was because he knew the situation that he decided to go there in person. Now at the end of August and November, there are two months left, which is enough time to prepare. Here we need to apply to the prince to allocate one thousand Wuzhumuqin horses. If you want to overcome the difficulties, these thousand Wuzhumuqin horses are indispensable."

The Wuzhumuqin horse is actually a Mongolian horse. It’s just that it was Mongolian at this time, so it was called the name of the land.

The Tang Dynasty suppressed the north and was a veritable Tian Khan. With the order, the Turks and Tiele were able to send troops to fight, and it was not difficult to transfer thousands of Wuzhumuqin horses.
