After Li Ji defeated Goguryeo for 40,000 reinforcements, Yuan Gaisuwen did not dare to rescue him easily.

Li Shimin personally threw the follow-up troops through the Liaoshui army and Li Ji.

Li Ji reported to Li Shimin: "Gamu City has been taken down, Zhang Jian is stationed in Jian'an City, and Zhang Liang leads the navy to obey the orders at any time. Liaodong City has become an isolated city, and Yuan Gaisuwen will not dare to send troops to aid in the short term."

Li Shimin showed a smile on his face and said, "In this way, everything is only one step away?"

Li Ji nodded silently and said, "It's just a matter of taking down Liaodong City."

Using troops is not a joke. The strength of the Tang army lies not only in the courage of the soldiers, but also in the overall planning.

The Tang army has been planning this conquest for a long time, and the beginning of their overall layout from Li Ji's alone in-depth army.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Liaodong City. Yang Guang's army is one million, but he can't even take it down, which shows that it is generally the case.

Therefore, Li Shimin first used bluffing method to directly arrange for Li Jiqi to cross the Liao River, and unexpectedly conquered Gaimu first.

Liaodong City and Gaimu City rely on each other. Without Gaimu City, Liaodong is like a broken arm.

At the same time, their surprise weapons came from the sky, disrupting the rhythm of Goguryeo.

Originally, Goguryeo planned to step back and retreat gradually, just like dealing with Yang Guang, luring the enemy into depth, and finally strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, gathering the surrounding people and soldiers to Liaodong City, and using the solid Liaodong City to defend.

However, the Tang army entered the hinterland of Liaodong and its troops headed directly to the city of Liaodong.

In this way, Goguryeo lost the opportunity to clear the fields and concealed the Liaodong soldiers and retreated to the Liaodong city. He could only divide his troops to defend the surrounding cities, resulting in a serious shortage of defenders in Liaodong city.

At the same time, the Tang army defeated the Goguryeo reinforcements, leaving Liaodong City in an isolated and helpless situation.

In the end, the Tang army's navy always threatened the rear of Goguryeo and fought across the sea, making Yuan Gaisuwen, in the hinterland of Goguryeo, feel afraid.

This is a strategy that Li Shimin had set at the beginning, just like the generals of his advisers and generals. Li Ji's seemingly self-disciplined and brave style of playing is wonderful step by step.

Under their plans, Liaodong City has become fish on the chopping board.

Li Shimin didn't wait long, and the longer he waited, the greater the logistical pressure.

On the second day after he and Li Ji met, he launched an attack on Liaodong.

On the fifth day, Liaodong City was broken.

The Tang army killed more than 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers and captured 40,000 urban residents.

Jicheng.

Li Yuanai never realized the power of his feeding envoy. It was not until he took over the work of the feeding envoy that he realized that he now controlled the financial and economic power of Hebei Road, the Tang Dynasty.

The north of the Yellow River is connected to the sea in the east, the south is adjacent to the river, and the west is Taihang, Changshan, Yuguan and Jimen. The food, grass, silver and money in the north are allowed to be allocated by oneself.

Li Yuanai looked at the food and grass in his hands, military pay accounts, and his eyes were about to pop out.

If you are greedy for yourself, you will be enough to eat for ten lifetimes.

"No wonder there are so many corrupt officials in history, and this huge amount is placed in front of you. Even if you have a little less concentration, you can't control it. It's also my fault that I have changed someone and save Heshen."

Li Yuanai couldn't help but mutter.

"Your Highness!"

Wei Ting came to the nearby place with a document in his hand and said, "This is the first batch of grain counted by his subordinates. Please check it out and order the seal. The food brought by His Majesty and the others should last for a month and a half. It should take a month for us to go to Liaodong. Two thousand soldiers and six thousand laborers were escorting food and grass."

If you don’t do this, you can’t understand the heavy load of logistics.

The food consumed by a hundred thousand troops is astronomical every day.

They not only need to deliver the corresponding food, but they need labor to transport the food and need protection.

They not only have to bring food for the front-line soldiers, but also to bring their own food and drink back and forth.

We also need to calculate the time of the next wave of food transportation.

All kinds of details, one after another, one must be calculated.

Li Yuanai looked at the list Wei Ting gave him, and did not rush to agree. Instead, he pulled out a silk cloth and listed the multiplication formula on it.

How much food is used by a frontline soldier in a day? Multiply it by ninety days and calculate the total amount of food used in March. Then, the food used by the grain for transporting grain and guarding grain labor for one day is multiplied by the roughly number of days to transport, and the risk of delay is also included.

As for the scrubbing, Li Yuanai calculated the total grain needed by the grain team during the cup of tea.

Compared with the amount calculated by yourself, it is not much different from Wei Ting's.

"Just use mine!"

Li Yuanai is quite confident in his arithmetic level.

Wei Ting couldn't understand the twists and turns on the silk cloth at all, but hesitated without any hesitation and used Li Yuanai's data directly.

In fact, Wei Ting was extremely dissatisfied with Li Yuanai at the beginning.

He was born in the Wei family in Jingzhao, and there is a way to be Wei Du in the south of the city, and he went to Tianchi Wu. This Wei family is in the capital of the capital, which is comparable to the five surnames.

This time the imperial court launched a war, not only the generals were moved, but also the civil officials were sharpening their heads and trying to get in.

Wei Ting has been coveting this Meimao for a long time and has gone through many relationships, but in the end he has only got a deputy envoy, and his heart is extremely unbalanced.

Wei Ting is a self-reliant person, while Li Yuanai is just a relative and has no qualifications to compare himself with him.

As the deputy envoy, I just do the official business and be honest as a decoration.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Ting entered, he said that Li Yuanai would take a look and then stamp it. He did not intend to ask Li Yuanai for his own opinions...

Seeing Li Yuanai casually writing and painting on silk cloth, he denied the number he had calculated with many subordinates for three days. He felt angry and said, "Your Highness is such an excessive!"

Li Yuanai said with a look of surprise: "Why is it too much?"

He really didn't know what the reason was.

Wei Ting is already over half of his fifties, and in Li Yuanai's eyes, he can be regarded as an elder.

Working together, although I am my subordinate, I have given enough respect and inexplicably cause trouble for myself?

Wei Ting glared with anger and said, "This is the number carefully calculated by the lower officials and many judges. You changed it casually and turned it into what you calculated by yourself? Wouldn't it erase our credit together?"

He directly regarded Li Yuanai's calculation as an example, and then made up one based on the numbers they calculated.
