Li Shimin's eyes were bright and his eyes crossed the Liao River. He was the emperor of the horse. He knew all over the world and pondered: "This place is about a hundred miles away from the royal city of Goguryeo. It takes one night for infantry to march, so he can only use cavalry."

Han Yue pointed and whispered: "What I want to fight is blitzkrieg, abandon all infantrymen, pay attention to coming and going like the wind. There is no need for too many soldiers, only a thousand people."

Li Shimin was stunned and scolded: "Absurd, Goguryeo is a great country in Liaodong. The capital has 100,000 permanent troops. You actually want to use a thousand people to attack. Are you afraid of your life?"

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I'm very afraid of death!" Han Yue said with a roar and explained with a smile: "I won't go to the capital tonight..."

"You won't go to the capital?" Li Shimin frowned and his eyes flashed.

Han Yue nodded slowly, and suddenly he pointed to the east and said lightly: "From this way, cross the Liaohe River and advance fifty miles southeast, you can reach the Liaodong County of Goguryeo. This county is the grain-producing place in Goguryeo. It has a grain-storing city called Xincheng..."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed. He was a military master. With a little guidance, he understood what Han Yue meant. He suddenly realized: "You want to burn their granary?"

"Not bad!" Han Yue nodded and smiled, and said, "Today, Gao Yuan not only forced me, but also humiliated His Majesty. He was on the first day of the lunar month and I was on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Tonight, he burned his grain city and let his army drink the northwest wind."

Li Shimin pondered for a while and hesitated: "Since ancient times, the military affairs have been severing logistics and burning grains. I also know that the city of grain garrison is called Xinwancheng. There are eight giant granaries built in the city, which store more than half of the military rations in Goguryeo..."

The emperor stopped suddenly when he said this. He glanced at Han Yue, slowly expressed his concerns, and sighed: "The permanent troops stationed in Shinmaru City are no less than the Goguryeo Capital, and their vigilance is even above the capital. If you want to use a thousand people to attack, this move may be difficult to succeed."

Li Shimin's concerns were reasonable. In ancient times, people paid the most attention to the guard of granaries. The Xinmao City was the location of the Goguryeo granary. There were barracks stationed in ten miles around. It was a fantasy to attack with a thousand men.

Han Yue smiled and said, "I am not going to fight, I just go to light fire and burn food. One thousand people are enough..."

"No, there are at least 50,000 troops stationed in Shinmaru City. Even if you attack at night, you will never succeed. Not to mention entering the city to set fire, you can't even rush through the battalion defenses on the periphery."

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of rushing over, I just need to continue harassing the outside of Shinmaru Castle and wait to take advantage of the situation to rob."

Li Shimin looked puzzled and said in confusion: "Why take advantage of the fire? What kind of disaster?"

Han Yue coughed dryly, and instead of answering the emperor directly, he asked: "Your Majesty, have Gu Mingwei and others followed you when you are here?"

Gu Mingwei was the down-and-out scholar at the time. He studied things for half his life, and was poor all his life. He changed his destiny after he defected to Han Yue.

Li Shimin didn't know why Han Yue suddenly asked Gu Mingwei. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked lightly: "When I got up from the trade, did the people from the research institute follow?"

Lao Cheng grabbed his head. He was a minister in front of the emperor, and he was a powerful Duke in front of ordinary people. Although Gu Mingwei was valued by Han Yue, he did not see it in Lao Cheng's eyes, and he didn't know if Gu Mingwei was following him.

In the end, Changsun took over the conversation and said warmly: "I have paid attention to this matter. This time we came here from Mutual Market, and all the staff from Mutual Market Research Institute came with me."

Han Yue's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Empress, have they brought the materials from the institute?"

Changsun frowned and recalled, pondering: "It seems like he was pulling more than a dozen big trucks, full of loads, all covered with thick cloth, and I don't know what it was..."

"A dozen big cars, haha, the institute has only one possession in total. At most, five cars are filled with various instruments, but they pulled more than a dozen big cars. It seems that they have completed the task arranged by me when I left."

Everyone was very curious. Li Shimin's eyes were bright and shouted: "What did the bad guy arrange? Tell me out quickly. If you dare to keep others in secret, be careful that your head on your neck will not be guaranteed."

The emperor threatened him not once or twice, and Han Yue was not afraid at all, and laughed and said, "Your Majesty, that thing is called a burning bomb. This thing sounds very strange. In fact, it is to use a light and brittle pot with tincture oil inside, and use phosphorus as the ignition material. After it is broken, it will burn when it encounters wind. The greater the wind, the greater the fire."

Li Shimin was stunned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in surprise: "You want to use this thing to burn the Shinmaru Castle in Goguryeo?"

"That's true." Han Yue smiled proudly and said with a smile: "Once this thing is ignited, there will be a huge fire in the blink of an eye. It is difficult to extinguish it with water. It must be covered with sand and soil. Hehehe, even if Xinmaru Castle has a water dragon for firefighting, it can only stare at me."

"So powerful?" Li Shimin gasped, and the queen and others looked at each other.

Han Yuezheng pointed at the head: "If it is not powerful, why should I study it hard? I asked Gu Mingwei to start making this thing before I left the market. This time he was pulling more than a dozen big cars, and I think he has never been idle."

"So that's it. No wonder you suddenly asked me if Gu Mingwei came. It turned out that he was waiting for his incendiary bomb..." Li Shimin suddenly realized, and Cheng Yaojin next to him suddenly opened his mouth and laughed wildly: "No wonder you dare to bring a thousand soldiers to Xinwan City. With this kind of fire-setting artifact in hand, there is really no need for many people."

Everyone kept nodding, but Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and frowned and said, "No, it's not appropriate. Although this thing is magical, you can't rush through the Xinwancheng Camp to defend, and you still can't set fire."

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone frowned slightly. Yes, no matter how powerful the incendiary bomb is, it is still impossible to set fire if it cannot be thrown into the city. You can't start from ten miles away.

Jin Ling'er bit her lip and whispered: "The moat of Xinmaru City connects the Liaohe River. If you can use a ship to go downstream, you may be able to approach the city defense."

"No!" Li Shimin shook his head slowly and sighed: "You little girl can think of attacking from the water. The ministers of Goguryeo are not fools. They will definitely set up defenses at the intersection of the Liaohe River and the moat."

Jin Ling'er was stunned and stuck out her tongue at everyone.

Changsun next to him held her in his arms and said softly: "Their men's affairs are worried about themselves. It is wrong to say too much, and it is wrong to say less. It is better not to say it. Little girl, go there with me and I will talk to you. I am very curious about the process of getting to know you and the brat..."

The queen pulled Jin Ling'er away slowly. The Central Plains was not like Silla, and women could not participate in military and national affairs. Changsun was teaching the girl in advance so that she would not understand the rules when she married in the future, and would cause too bad comments on the court.

They walked away from afar, leaving everyone to think hard. Li Shimin's eyes flashed and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I have brought a total of 20,000 cavalry this time. You can bring all of them with you. No matter what, you must satisfy your wish to burn Xinwan City."

Han Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need this. I said that only one thousand soldiers are used, so even one more soldier will not be brought. So what if there are many troops in Xinmaru City? They can only be on the ground, but I am in the sky tonight..."
