Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?When Li Ke rushed to Baiyan City day and night, Emperor Taizong's carriage had already left, leaving him with only 50,000 Nanya new troops, and Cheng Zhijie, the governor of Youzhou, took over as commander.  ""

    "Your Highness, I will leave the army to you. I have to say goodbye now!" Cheng Zhijie said goodbye to Li Ke.

    Li Ke knew that this was what Li Shimin meant. He said a few polite words to Cheng Zhijie and sent him outside. When Cheng Zhijie left, Li Ke said to Zhongchang Wang, "Send an order for all the generals to come to the commander's account to discuss matters!"

    "Nuo" Wang Zhongchang took the order.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The sound of the three-way drums sounds, we see the generals walking into the hall one by one.

    Dozens of generals appeared in the tent. Except for Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui, Li Ke didn't know any of the other generals.

    "Students see the principal¡ª¡ª"

    Suddenly, the general in the book saluted Li Ke.

    Li Ke saw eight generals who called him principal. They were all wearing captain's uniforms.  Hearing this title, Li Ke knew that they were graduates of the Army Academy.

    "See the principal¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui also saluted Li Ke.

    "See His Royal Highness the Northern King, the last Turkic general Lan Dong¡ª¡ª" A Turkic general saluted Li Ke.

    "Well - is the Prince of Peiping in good health?" Li Ke asked.

    ¡°Khan is in good health¡ª¡ª¡± Lan Dong replied.

    At this time, except for Lan Dong, a Turkic general, everyone else in the big tent was a general from the Army Academy.  The entire tent became Li Ke's base camp.

    Because of the performance of Meng Zhao, the first batch of graduates from the Army Academy, Li Shimin demanded that half of the Army Academy graduates serve in the new army.  The students of the Army Academy have excellent skills in all aspects, allowing them to hold important positions in the new capital.  This is why there are so many generals from the Army Academy among the 50,000 new troops.  Furthermore, isn¡¯t this Li Shimin¡¯s consciousness?  When necessary, he would rather do away with these outstanding generals than let them continue to stay in the new army and accompany him back to Chang'an. In this case, it would be very dangerous to leave the city defense to them.

    Seeing the Army College in the big tent, Li Ke's face showed a faint smile.

    Li Ke believes in the abilities of the students at the Taiyuan Army Academy. They have tactical and strategic teachers like Li Jing, chief instructors like Chen Qi, practical instructors like Hou Hu, Ren Hu and Zhe Yu, and students from the Army Academy.  Absolutely top-notch in terms of tactical theory and combat skills.  And what Li Ke needs is such a general.  At first, he thought that Li Shimin would leave him an army of 50,000 to 60,000 men and some unfamiliar generals, making it difficult for him to integrate with the new army for a while.  Now looking at the army generals in the big tent, Li Ke liked Li Shimin's move very much.  With these generals, Li Ke had new thoughts about the war in Goryeo.  When he received Li Shimin's order in Qingtang City, he just wanted to remain undefeated. Now that he saw these generals, he would definitely deal with the Koreans, and he had a 70% chance of winning.

    "Everyone, sit down!" Li Ke said lightly.

    After the general sat down, Li Ke asked Xue Rengui, the highest official here, "Xue Li, tell me about the recent war situation!"

    In fact, Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian are at the same level.  Moreover, Pei Xinglian commanded 30,000 black cavalry troops, which was better than Xue Rengui in terms of troop command ability.  But Xue Rengui had been in the army since the Northern Expedition. He knew the situation in Goryeo, so Li Ke asked him by name.

    "Your Highness, since the emperor's northern expedition to Baiyan City, the Koreans have relied on the solid defenses of Baiyan City to deal with us. Now, the number of Korean troops in Baiyan City has reached 200,000." Xue Rengui said simply, "The soldiers of Baiyan City  The only road to Goryeo, if we don¡¯t capture Baiyan City, it will be difficult for us to take another step forward.¡±

    "How long can our food and grass last?" Li Ke asked Pei Xinglen.

    He also felt that Pei Xinglian and his 30,000 black cavalry troops would play the role of transporting food during the Northern Expedition.

    "Your Highness, this time the students brought food from Youzhou to support an army of 200,000 for two months. The Emperor did not bring much food and grass with him after he left, and all was left to Your Highness. With the current number of troops, it can support the army for three months.  Long."

    "Three months -" Li Ke sighed, "Is it enough?"

    None of the generals knew what Li Ke meant and did not dare to ask.

    After a while, Li Ke raised his head and asked, "What do you think of the current war situation?"

    "Your Highness, the students think that the Koreans may not be able to hold on for long -" a general stood up and said to Li Ke.

    "What's your name?" Li Ke asked.

    "The student's name is Li Fei¡ª¡ª" Li Fei replied.

    "You continue to talk-" Li Ke said."Nuo" Li Fei accepted the order and continued, "Your Highness, the students think that the current situation is ignored by Goryeo. Goryeo has devoted all its efforts to defend Baiyan City. This winter has consumed too much of their national power. It is almost spring now.  As long as the Tang Dynasty protects the half of Goryeo it invaded and prevents its people from cultivating the fields, there will be riots in their country and Baiyan City will surely collapse without attack."

    ¡°Haha¡ª¡ª¡± Li Ke laughed and said, ¡°Your attention is good¡ª¡ª¡± Li Ke continued to look at the generals in the hall and asked, ¡°What other ideas do you have? Keep talking¡ª¡ª¡±

    "Principal, the students think that the Koreans may attack the camp tonight -" a general suddenly said.

    "Well?" Li Ke said in surprise, "What's your name?"

    "The student's name is Xu Zhong¡ª¡ª" Xu Zhong replied to Li Ke.

    ¡°Tell me your reasons¡ª¡ª¡± Li Ke smiled.

    "Your Highness, the Emperor has left and you have come to Baiyan City. The army needs a handover ceremony, and what is left behind is the new army of Nanya. Your Highness is not familiar with the new army. The Koreans will think that our army's military morale is unstable at this time, and they will definitely send troops.  Come and attack the camp!" Xu Zhong explained.

    "What do you think?" Li Ke asked everyone.

    ¡°The students think so too¡ª¡± Pei Xinglen agreed.

    "The students think so too!" Xue Rengui agreed.

    "Well -" Li Ke continued with a smile, "Then tell me, how should I deploy my defenses?"

    "Principal, why don't we use the trick and give the Koreans a fire attack?" Xu Zhong said, "vacate the camp, lure the Korean army into the camp, and then set a fire."

    "Your Highness, since the Koreans want to attack us, why don't we take this opportunity to capture Baiyan City?" Pei Xinglian said suddenly.

    "Do you have any good ideas?" Li Ke asked.

    ¡°No¡ª¡± Pei Xinglian said frustratedly.

    "I also have this idea of ??taking the opportunity to capture Baiyan City, but it requires planning and deployment. We don't have much time. Please discuss it and formulate a detailed strategy for me!" Li Ke said to Pei Xinglen.

    He dared to request this because, except for Lan Dong, the other generals present were all graduates of the Army Academy, and were all military generals with a professional background. There was also Pei Xinglian, a general with a staff education.  Li Ke believed that if these people could not formulate a detailed plan, then the teaching level of the Army Academy would be questionable!  Besides, he believed that after these generals there would be many generals with staff background. He believed that as long as these people's brains were used well, an army of 100,000 could defeat Goryeo.

    "Nuo¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian took the order.

    "I will leave this matter to you -" Li Ke said, and then said to Xue Rengui, "You will take command of the 50,000 new army. You will discuss the specific deployment with Pei Xinglian, but the majesty of the Tang Dynasty must be demonstrated in a battle -"

    "Nuo¡ª¡ª" Xue Rengui replied excitedly.

    Li Ke gave him the command of an army of 50,000 people at once. This was an affirmation of his trust and ability. How could Xue Rengui not be excited?

    "Landong - your Turkic elite cavalry should rest for a few days. In the next few days, I will only have arrangements -" Li Ke said to Landong.

    "Nuo¡ª¡ª" Lan Dong knew Li Ke's identity and that he was Tu Li's son-in-law, and he was Tu Li's confidant general, so naturally he only followed Li Ke's lead.

    "Then you continue to discuss-" Li Ke strode out of the tent.

    In fact, he wanted to give these generals a chance to show their talents.

    Because, as long as these generals mature, they will be their precious wealth, and they will be their elite soldiers and generals to conquer the Western Regions and attack the Kingdom of Dashi.  To watch the first release without ads, please go to ""
