"You can be more free when not in the war, but if you are in the war, you must obey the command of Uncle Fang Cheng and others. Otherwise, don't blame your teacher for being ruthless and drive you all back to Chang'an without leaving any!" In the last sentence, my face turned serious and my voice turned sharp.

Liu Yue and others quickly answered honestly: "Students must obey and live up to the teachings of their masters."

Thousands of flags rolled around and thousands of sails competed. The large and small ships of the Datang Navy came out from the Dengzhou Navy Port and headed north. After passing Daxie Island, Guida Island, and Wuhu Island arrived at Beisha City at the lower end of the Liaodong Peninsula for supply. They went directly eastward and went straight to the entrance of Huangshui River, which was the mouth of the big river that landed on the last time to attack Goguryeo, and then went down along the coast to Changkou Town, an important port south of Pingliao City.

When we arrived at Changkou Town, we had been bumping on the sea for nearly ten days, but thankfully, Fang Cheng, Bonahrjin and others had adapted to the life on the boat some time ago. And my students were still tirelessly learning various sea knowledge from skilled sailors on the boat, such as watching the clouds and identifying the weather, how to use stars to identify directions, and the application of compass on the sea. They also made a lot of records in all this. Seeing them learning knowledge so tirelessly, I, as a teacher, was also very pleased.

The only disturbing thing is that so far we have not found a ship from Baekje or Japanese that appears in our sight. This is not a good sign.

My flagship has become the general command center of the Datang Navy. In addition to the naval generals, a group of twenty-person staff sent by the Datang Staff Academy were also on my ship. They came with us, but after arriving in Dengzhou, they had already started a tense and orderly work. General Zhang was very satisfied. At least he felt that with such twenty experienced staff, he had saved a lot of effort in intelligence analysis and combat situation analysis. Moreover, a large area had been set up in my ship and sand tables for the peninsula and the Japanese land. The speed of the Datang fleet propulsion was changing positions at every moment.

Several generals surrounded the sand table and communicated with these staff from time to time, and then had a low voice with General Zhang. "Our naval fleet is dozens of miles in radius. There is no enemy ship between Baekje and Japan, and there is no abnormality along the coast!" A staff officer placed the latest report from the flag soldiers who received the patrol ships of the ground, chariots, and the ground was placed in front of General Zhang.

————————————————————————————－——————————————————————

General Zhang narrowed his eyes, looked at the report for a while, and handed it to me beside me, and continued to look at the progress of our ships on the sand table. The huge group of ships used flags to convey information at their speed. It was much faster than the previous shouting of small boats running around. This also gave us more time to consider.

I took it in my hand and read out the content of the report. At this time, someone finally couldn't hold it in.

"It's so weird. According to the results calculated by the staff, our navy is now less than 150 miles away from Xiongjin River, but now, let alone the enemy ships, they don't even catch their roots." A general complained angrily: "Did these guys slip away with their tails when they saw my Tang Dynasty warship?"

This immediately caused a burst of laughter, and I laughed: "Baoje and Japan are indeed not the enemy of our Tang Dynasty. However, it is feasible for us to despise the enemy strategically, but in tactical terms, we must pay attention to it. After all, Baekje and Japan are both island countries, and the navy and ships of the two countries do not have less time to deal with than the Tang Dynasty. According to our Tang Dynasty Jinzouyuan, Baekje and Japan have more than a thousand large and large warships. Although there are advantages in number, most of their warships are narrow and small, and they are not comparable to the Tang Dynasty Tower ships. However, the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, so we should be more cautious."

"Well, this is reasonable!" General Zhang finally spoke, waved at us a few times and pointed at the sand table and said, "Everyone, come and take a look. Tell me, if you are the commander of the Japanese naval commander of Baekje, what will you do when I come to the Tang naval commander?"

Some people say that the Japanese and Baekje were preparing to surround the Tang Dynasty waters and invade Baekje. They crossed the defense line of our Tang Dynasty Navy in one fell swoop and pacified the city of the Liaodong Daozhu District of the Tang Dynasty. Some people like to use oil-adding tactics and attack tactics, making it difficult for the Tang Dynasty fleet to advance. In short, they all have their own opinions, but my eyes fell on Liu Rengui, who was standing behind General Zhang. Although he had not spoken since now, from his expression, I know that he must have any ideas.1415e49

I cleared my throat and temporarily suppressed the debate: "Mr. Liu, I am eager to try it when I see you. If you have a wonderful plan, it doesn't matter."

At this time, all the generals stopped arguing and turned their eyes to Liu Rengui's face, who looked a little surprised and surprised. The generals looked at me, then Liu Rengui, with a strange look.

I have known the close relationship with Liu Rengui over the past period of time. Many people have been talking about it. Liu Rengui is really good, and he flattered him and the son of the prime minister who is deeply favored by the emperor. In short, the words that came out are not nice. Of course, these news were all transmitted to my ears by my personal soldiers or students in private, and fei-handedly beat me. I just laughed it off. For me, I knew very well who Liu Rengui was. It was not that Liu Rengui was deliberately making friends with me, but in the eyes of others, they would not think so when dealing with a famous official as big as a nail.

However, Liu Rengui is not the kind of person who is afraid of being afar. This young master is also a gentleman who is cold-blooded and pointed at thousands of people, so he still does his own things. However, if I say this now, it will naturally cause speculation from the generals around me. Even Liu Rengui himself seemed a little hesitant, and seemed to think that such a military conference seemed unreasonable for him, a civilian official in the army to participate.

General Zhang glanced at me meaningfully, then turned his head toward Liu Rengui: "Shi Shi Liu, since the deputy general manager has spoken, if you have any strategy, it is okay to say it, don't forget that the Tang Dynasty has established various marching staff departments, just to concentrate on thinking, you are the chief of the army and to contribute your part."

All the generals around him were fighting. Anyway, I just said it, and I didn't think Liu Rengui could come up with any better solutions than them. Liu Rengui's eyes fell on me again. I nodded slightly at him and nodded encouragement. I believe I had never misjudged the person.

Liu Rengui gritted his teeth and looked at his expression, and he was willing to let go. He did not hesitate or retreat at all. He stood before the sand table: "Since the chief executive and deputy chief executives can respect the subordinates, the subordinate officials will be talking nonsense here. If there is anything wrong, I hope all the generals will give me some advice."

Liu Rengui held his sleeve with his left hand, stretched his finger straight with his right hand, and then landed at the mouth of the Xiongjin River: Baijiangkou.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Since the Tang navy has been invaded and before we can understand the situation of the enemy, we will naturally think that the Tang navy went down the coast, and we must have ideas about the Sibu City, the capital of Baekje. After all, Sibu City, the capital of Jibu City, is like a Ping Liao City, and is mounted on the Xiongjin River. If I were a general of Baekje, I would have formed a warship in the mouth of the Baijiang River to wait for the enemy. On the bank of the river, heavy infantry and cavalry were placed, and another warship was left to hide in the hidden place on the bank of the river. Finally, the main force of the warship was cruising on the sea.

If the Tang warships landed at this river estuary, I would have to set up heavy troops and the Tang army on the shore. When the battle was in full swing, I would order the warships hidden on the river bank, arson ships and other ships hidden in the river estuary rushed out, and entered the Tang army's naval formation, burned the enemy ships, disturbed the Tang naval formation, intercepted the middle section, so that the warships cruising on the sea would be blocked from the back... "Liu Rengui's words made the Tang generals present gasp, and everyone, including me and General Zhang, were shocked and suspicious, and lay on the sand table for a long time.

General Zhang turned around and patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder and sighed: "Fortunately, you are not the general of Baekje and Japan, otherwise our army would be in danger. Even if we can win, it would be a tragic victory."

I finally recovered and nodded in agreement. This guy is worthy of being the head coach of the Tang Dynasty who directed the Battle of Baijiangkou more than ten years later. If he was the head coach of Japan at that time, it would be really hard to predict. But no matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look like a Japanese with short limbs and a vulgar appearance. I am still very relieved about Liu Rengui's bloodline.

Liu Rengui's move really surprised the generals present and the staff of the Generals of the General Staff. No one expected that such a civil servant among the generals who were only for the commander of the marching, would have such a poisonous attack. Even if there were twenty gunboats in the Tang Dynasty, the best combat distance for gunboats was long attack, not melee combat. Moreover, the most feared thing about warships in this era was fire attack. If he did this, if the Tang Dynasty really accidentally caught Dao'er, the losses would definitely be small.
