Luo Zhaoyun was asked by Yang Guang himself and could not escape, so he could only bite the bullet and answer. The other generals and ministers were also energetic. He wanted to know how this young marshal, who was the rising young man, proposed a strategy?

In recent years, Luo Zhaoyun's reputation has been too great. He was originally the son of the deputy general of the Youzhou Prefecture, but he did not live under the shade of his father. He went to the frontier alone and started with a small pawn. This alone made these generals admire him.

Too many mediocre talents and sons of generals live in the courtyard all year round, stay away from the battlefield, and only know how to talk about war on paper. Some good people can learn from their fathers and appoint a lieutenant. They usually don’t participate in the battle with real swords and guns. They just get mixed up with military ranks and most of them will not have a future.

This is why few sons of famous generals become famous and surpass their fathers because they all live under their wings and lack training.

Like those generals, who were not the first to lead the way, started from the front line, accumulated endless experience, polished it out, as long as they were not dead, improved layer by layer, and finally tempered, they were all iron-strong generals.

The process of Luo Zhaoyun's rise is something that other generals' children cannot imitate because they cannot bear to let their children fight like they do on the front line. Therefore, as generals, their children lack blood and experience, and cannot stand alone.

If Luo Zhaoyun had told Luo Yi about his thoughts, Luo Yi would definitely not agree. How could the Luo family be the only one who was born in the Luo family to let him go to the front line? He would only let him guard the border defense. When he grew up, he appointed a supervisor, and he was silently unknown.

It can be said that everything Luo Zhaoyun has made at the moment is achieved by himself and is even more respected!

Luo Zhaoyun said: "I think that if you want to attack Goguryeo, you cannot be too hasty. Logistics support is needed. The troops are deployed in place, so that you can be unstoppable. I just calculated that with the population and military strength of Goguryeo, plus the steep city defense and fortress, you can seize the land of western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, 300,000 troops, but to completely defeat Goguryeo, force it to surrender and destroy its country, at least 500,000 troops are required. If the food and grass are run by ox carts, donkey carts and manpower, it is too slow, and five to ten times the strength of the men must be used to meet the needs of the frontline."

"In this way, a 500,000 army will require at least three million people to transport grain, and it will consume nearly half of it on the way. If the people are allowed to bring their own food, it will be impossible to use up all their own food in a few months' drive. Therefore, I think it is best to wait until the Yongji Canal leads to Zhuojun, northeast China, and successfully open to navigation. The transportation of grain by water will alleviate this logistical support and will be more secure."

After hearing this, Emperor Yang of Sui fell into deep thought, and then his eyes lit up. He felt that this idea was good. Now, the Yongji Canal, which is located northeast of Luoyang, has been built for a year, to communicate with the Qin River, Qishui, and Wei River, and gradually communicate with the Youzhou area. If the project is accelerated, we will go up the Yongding River next year and lead to Zhuo County. The food and grass will continue to be transported to the border of Youzhou. It is indeed much easier to fight against Goguryeo.

The other ministers and generals were not as meticulous as he thought, and did not consider the logistics and transportation too deeply, because the general considered it as a combat route, and only the six ministries would care about the transportation of grain, food, and military pay, and how to cooperate with it.

"Speak!" Emperor Yang of Sui was intrigued and asked him to continue speaking.

Yuwen Shu's face was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Luo Zhaoyun had some clever plans. He thought that all he should have said had been finished by these generals and ministers. He said this, and he was suspected of picking up people's wisdom, so he made a spoil.

"The second is the attack issues such as equipment and war horses. I think that if I could go to Youzhou a year in advance, start building war weapons, secretly build siege equipment, and develop more powerful chariots, chariots, large crossbows, etc., which will be built in Youzhou and reserved. At that time, the battle will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. If more horse farms can be set up, more than a year later, the war will start the next year, and many war horses can be cultivated, which can be used at any time, without having to travel thousands of miles to draw cavalry from various places."

"Well, it makes sense. General Luo is guarding the border and is very clear about these aspects. Although these suggestions are not attack routes and plans, they are helpful to the overall situation. In recent years, it seems that you have made rapid progress!" Emperor Yang of Sui praised Luo Zhaoyun's words, which was not empty at all. He completely entered the key points and belonged to the practical faction, which made Emperor Yang of Sui very happy.

"Yes, General Luo is young, but he can consider it in detail. He is indeed very talented and knowledgeable!" Lai Hu'er is more straightforward in character. When he heard good opinions, he couldn't help but praise him.

The other generals more or less knew that Luo Zhaoyun seemed to be incompatible with Yuwen Shu, so they just nodded slightly, did not publicly express their support, and did not offend both.

"Since General Luo has these specific ideas, I will give you an errand. After the spring of the New Year, you will go back to see your father, General Luo Yi, and secretly mobilize people and start building equipment and expanding the horse farm to prepare for the attack on Goguryeo!"

Luo Zhaoyun was delighted. With the imperial order, it would be easier to go back to Youzhou. He could restock the Youzhou area and plan his own layout. If the world is in chaos in the future, Youzhou in the northeast will be a powerful place for vassals!

"Your Majesty, please listen to what the old minister said!" Yuwen Shu immediately clasped his fists and interrupted.

Emperor Yang of Sui frowned. If it were someone else, he would definitely be unhappy. However, Yuwen Shu was the first person he favored and kept running around for him. He considered that unlike other ministers, he completely followed his arrangements. So, he was not angry and asked, "What do you have to say?"

"I think that if such a big thing is to put General Luo alone, it would be too heavy to have a heavy burden and a heavy responsibility. After all, one person has limited energy. This is to build weapons and expand the horse farm. He is incompetent. It just so happens that the three of them are all generals in the capital, but they have no place to temper. It is better to send Yu Wen and go to Youzhou to be responsible for the horse farm, share your worries and contribute to the Great Sui Dynasty."

After Yuwen Shu finished speaking, he still looked at Emperor Yang of Sui pitifully, and at the same time he looked at him, meaning that there was a reason for me and that other words were inconvenient to say.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very familiar with Yuwen Shu, so he nodded slightly, agreed to his request, and said, "Okay, the two things did have a great impact on the conquest of Goguryeo. It is a bit serious to only leave it to Luo Zhaoyun. Then let the Right Guard General Yu Wenhua and obey the orders, and go to Youzhou after the New Year to supervise the horse farm."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Yu Wen Shu thanked him, secretly happy. He was considered to have made a good job for his son. He didn't know how to build weapons, but it was easy to raise horses. Once it was completed, it would be very rewarding. (To be continued.)
