Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 487 Raid on Goguryeo, Li You as General

Yes, this is the strategy Li You came up with these days.

On the one hand, continue the plan that Li Shimin has announced to the outside world, and on the other hand, prepare a surprise army to set off within a month, and strive to seize the main roads before Goguryeo has completed its defense, and prepare for the army to go to battle.

Of course, a better way is to use beheading tactics to take down Gai Suwen with a thunderous force, and force the new king of Goguryeo to surrender.

[The biggest advantage of this strategy is that it makes Li Er look like he has personally conscripted, but in fact he didn't. 】

[Even if it is a large-scale mobilization, it is just a stroll around to paralyze the opponent's vision. 】

[And if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, they can respond quickly. 】

Li Shimin soon realized that Li You's idea was more subtle than his original idea, so he couldn't help but nodded decisively.

"You'er has a good idea, but how to prepare for this raid is still a problem."

After agreeing with Li You, Li Shimin also raised his own question.

Although Li Shimin agreed, Li Ji on the side was not ready to agree. He finally had a chance to go into battle, but he didn't want to waste it in order to confuse the enemy.

He understood that according to Li Shimin's character of distinguishing between rewards and punishments, even if the army he commanded did not attack a tough battle, his credit would still be indispensable.

But Li Ji is not a greedy person, what he wants is a real battle.

"Since Your Majesty thinks King Qi's strategy is good, I am willing to be the commander of this raid force!"

"My minister promises to rule out all kinds of problems and win Goguryeo!"

When Li Shimin saw that the soldiers were about to agree, he heard Li You's voice.

[The raid commander can be anyone, but you Xu Maogong can't. 】

[Although the army has not been dispatched yet, the news has already been released. People like Zhang Liang and Xu Maogong will definitely receive special attention. Wouldn't it be completely exposed if they were asked to command the raid. 】

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

'This bastard has really grown up, and his thinking has become more and more comprehensive. '

Then Li Shimin also pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Mao Gong, I am afraid that this time I will go to Goguryeo and wrong you again."

"The general who raided the army, you really can't do it."

As the saying goes, the authorities are in the dark, but the onlookers are clear. If it were any other time, with Li Ji's ingenuity, he would be able to figure out the joints in an instant.

But today, when it comes to his vital interests, Li Ji is messed up.

He didn't dare to challenge Li Shimin directly, but he didn't let Li You go.

In his opinion, it was Li You's strategy that made him miss another chance to become famous.

He said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, if you refuse to accept, you can't be the general of the raid. Could it be that you can be the King of Qi?"

Li You was about to say that he didn't want to be the general of the raid, when he heard Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Youer proposed such a clever plan, of course he can be the general of the raid."

Hearing this, Li Ji also sneered and said: "Your Majesty, King Qi's talent in governing the country is also admired, but when it comes to war, he has never been on the battlefield."

"This [-]-strong army is going out, and there are so many details involved, and if you are not careful, the news will leak out."

"It's not that I don't believe in King Qi, but that this is indeed a little too much for him."

"I implore Your Majesty to think twice."

At this moment, Li You's stubborn temper also came up.

If Li Shimin asked him to be the commander of this raid, maybe he would refuse without even thinking about it, but now Li Ji said he couldn't do it, but he refused to accept it.

At that moment, Li You also said loudly: "Father, my son is willing to give it a try."

"Furthermore, I don't need a single soldier from the imperial court. I can defeat the enemy with [-] troops from the Qizhou Governor's Mansion."

"At that time, I hope that the frontal troops of the British Duke can keep up with our progress and properly deal with the Koguryo towns that have been captured."

After Li You finished speaking, a rare arrogance appeared on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing Li You's appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile on his face.

'Hahaha, this bastard has fallen into my trap this time. '

'I didn't think about the imperial conquest this time, I just wanted you to be the commander of the three armies. '

'However, it is beyond my expectation that you can come up with a surprise attack strategy. '

'Although the frontal force is still in the name of the imperial conquest, you are the one who actually does the work. '

'Hahaha, does this count as the unity of father and son? '

Li You, who was proud of himself, only noticed the smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth at this moment.

Immediately, he felt something was wrong.

[No, why was I so excited just now, I won't fall into Li Er's plan to provoke you! 】

[Looking at Xu Maogong's anxious look just now, it doesn't look like a fake at all, but what's going on with Li Er's smile at the corner of his mouth! 】

[Can someone at the scene explain it to me! 】

However, Li You looked around the scene, but did not get any useful help.

On the contrary, it was Li Jing who gave him an appreciative look.

Li Jing thought that Li You had something to say, so he took the initiative to say: "King Qi, do you have any specific plans for the battle?"

"You can say it now, and everyone will help you make suggestions."

Knowing that he couldn't ask the truth, Li You simply didn't think about it anymore. Now that he has accepted this task, he must do it well with all his heart.

Moreover, Li You had really prepared for this battle.

Li You thought for a while and said: "This time, the king said that he can go to Goguryeo by leading Qizhou soldiers and horses, which is not without purpose."

"Since I arrived in Qizhou, this king has been improving the Datang Navy. Now the Datang Navy in Laizhou can completely fight across the sea."

"So my son's idea is still to advance by land and water. Twenty thousand mixed cavalry immediately set out to meet Xue Rengui at the border, and select the elite to attack immediately."

"At the same time, [-] naval forces set off from Laizhou and pointed directly at Pyongyang, the hinterland of Goguryeo. They tried to cut off the connection between Gaisuwen and other troops with one blow and regain control of the Goguryeo royal family."

Then, Li You deduced the upcoming battle on the sand table.

It wasn't until this time that Li Ji finally came to his senses, and after giving Li You an apologetic look, he joined the discussion.

With the suggestions of Li Jing and Li Jing, the two commanders of the Tang Dynasty, Li You's original rough battle plan gradually became fuller.

Li Ji, who regained his spirit, soon realized that although he could not lead the army as a vanguard, he still had a great responsibility.

If Li You's plan goes well, then they will be the pinnacles to stabilize the situation.

If the plan fails, it will be up to him to turn the tide.

This discussion lasted until midnight, but Li You left for Qizhou non-stop after leaving the palace.
