When Li Chengqian, who was in the Tang Dynasty, learned the news, he was also shocked.
"What?"
"Gao Jianwu is really still alive?"
"And you even traveled across the ocean to Japan?"
Li Chengqian's face was full of confusion.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"And it's more than that."
"He has now become the nominal leader of the Japanese country."
Liu Qizhi next to him said to Li Chengqian: "And I heard that he was the one who started this war."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also stood stunned on the spot.
After a long time, Li Chengqian finally came back to his senses.
He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I personally led the team to hunt down Gao Jianwu, but when I chased him to the seaside, I suddenly lost track of him."
"At that time, I only saw him going out to sea in a fleet of ships."
"At that time, I thought Gao Jianwu would never come back after he escaped."
"But I didn't expect that he would go to Japan..."
Liu Qi had naturally heard of what happened back then.
At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "Who said it wasn't true, and who would have thought that he would become bigger?"
"If we hadn't captured a former Goguryeo prisoner today, I'm afraid we still wouldn't know about this..."
Gao Jianwu was helped by Zhao Youlin.
Successfully escaped from Baekje with the remaining soldiers, horses and some ministers, and traveled all the way across the ocean to the country of Japan.
The Japanese state at that time was in chaos just like the Western Turks at that time.
And this also allowed Gao Jianwu to see an opportunity.
At that moment, he led his soldiers and horses to conquer all directions, until he secured a large territory in the northern part of the Japanese country.
In two years, he also expanded his team to hundreds of thousands of people.
It was also at that time that he was valued by the Soga family.
The Soga family was the royal family of the Japanese king at that time, and was also the largest family in the Japanese kingdom.
Although Gao Jianwu surrendered to them on the surface, he was actually sucking blood from the Suwo family.
The final outcome was obvious. After using the Soga family to grow, he also completely destroyed the family.
During that great purge, the power of the Suga family was uprooted, and every member of the family was killed.
However, Gao Jianwu also understood the principle that when the king is absent, the son will succeed, and when the son is absent, the ministers will succeed.
After all, I am an outsider after all. If I sit on the throne, I will definitely attract dissatisfaction and even crusade from many people.
Rather than causing internal friction, it is better to temporarily stabilize people's hearts.
Therefore, he did not seize the throne at that time, but instead supported the puppet family of Nakamura.
Among them, the child Nakamura Daichi was selected as the new king of Japan, and he later controlled the affairs of Japan.
Speaking of this, Liu Qizhi said to Li Chengqian: "Reform and innovation, the development of firearms, and a series of other policies were all proposed and completed by Gao Jianwu."
"It's pretty awesome."
Li Chengqian shook his head and chuckled: "Gao Jianwu looks like a different person now."
"It seems that the experiences of the past few years have caused his face to be completely disfigured."
"When he was in Goguryeo, no matter what, he was considered a virtuous monarch."
"If I hadn't become obsessed with Zhao Youlin's words and tried to challenge the power of the Tang Dynasty, I wouldn't have ended up like that..."
Hearing this, Liu Qi also nodded in agreement.
"Who says it isn't?"
"But when he came to Japan, especially after taking control of the court, Gao Jianwu really showed his violence and cruelty."
"It's common for people to quarter their bodies with five horses, to be executed late, and to kill entire families."
"Kill the whole family and execute him in Lingchi?"
Feng Guangyao, who had been listening silently, suddenly said, "Can the Japanese tolerate him, an outsider, acting recklessly in their own country?"
"How can it be……"
"In the Japanese country, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out against him."
Liu Qidao: "Who calls someone strong and powerful?"
"In that case..."
Feng Guangyao suddenly said: "If we attack the Japanese country, are we helping the Japanese country?"
"Of course."
"We are the heroes who saved the Japanese people from fire and water."
Li Chengqian also joked, and then said: "But let's not worry about things over there right now. Let's study the things on our own doorstep first."
With that said, Li Chengqian walked straight to the sand table.
"Laidong and Laixi are two companion cities of Laizhou. Laidong is close to the sea and Laixi is close to the mountains."
"They are at odds with each other. If they attack either side alone, they are bound to be hit by the other side."
"Now, according to the situation of cases where the Japanese army deployed here, there are about 30,000 people in Raidong and 40,000 people in Raisi."
While Li Chengqian was observing the terrain of the sand table, he said, "Do you two have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"this……"
Liu Qi rubbed his chin and looked at the terrain in front of him and said, "Your Highness, what do you think of attacking Laidong first?"
"I thought, although Laidong is close to the sea, their number is small after all."
"And you see..."
Liu Qi raised his hand and pointed at Laidong City and said, "Because Laidong is close to the sea, the city wall on the east side is built low."
"Although we can't attack from this side, we can make a sneak attack."
"Sending a small force into the city will cause riots no matter what."
"At that time, we will lead the team to attack the west city and we will surely capture the city in one fell swoop..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head and slowly said two words: "The next step!"
Suddenly, Liu Qi was choked by Li Chengqian.
At that moment, he set his sights directly on Feng Guangyao.
After thinking about it, Feng Guangyao also said directly: "What if it is covered by direct artillery fire and attacks Laidong like the attack on Laizhou City?"
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian still shook his head and said: "The right strategy."
One is a bad strategy and the other is a middle strategy.
The two looked at each other, and then Liu Qi was the first to ask: "What do you think is the best way to attack, Your Highness?"
"Attack Lacey!"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said.
"ah?"
After hearing this, the two of them were even more puzzled.
Feng Guangyao said: "Your Highness, there are 30,000 soldiers in Laidong and 40,000 soldiers in Laixi."
"And in terms of city defense strength, Lacey is obviously stronger than Laidong."
"Why did Your Highness give up attacking the easy one and choose the more difficult one?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me ask you, if you were the general, you would have 70,000 soldiers and horses in your hands."
"You will station more soldiers and horses in a well-defended city."
"Or will there be more troops stationed in cities with weak city defenses?"
"Of course I will be there..."
Just after saying this, Feng Guangyao suddenly reacted.
He set his sights directly on Lacey City.
Laixi City was built on a mountain, and having a mountain to rely on meant that there were countless supplies that could be used to defend the city.
but……
That was in the non-firearms era.
In the current age of firearms, mountains are like time bombs.
After all, it is very likely that the mountain will slide under the attack of artillery fire, and in that case, the city defense will no longer exist.
Feng Guangyao looked up at Li Chengqian and said with joy on his face: "Your Highness, the general understands..."
