The journey was originally a day, but when I returned, it took nearly two days to arrive at the Navy's base camp. Because the weight of the ship increased a lot, the speed naturally slowed down.

Everyone was hungry and had no strength to get off the boat because the navy's food was eaten up by Pang Xiaotai's troops, and everyone was hungry.

If you encounter pirates, it will probably be the rhythm of annihilation. Fortunately, there are no Japanese pirates these days.

Only Yuanjiu and Juya, the master and servant, were still energetic. Of course, they would not throw away all the food. They were just friendly and helping each other. Why should they stay hungry with everyone? Yuanjiu is not that person.

But for the Tang army, not dying is the blessing of my emperor. This is really a escapist. Therefore, after getting ashore, many people hugged their heads and cried.

Brother Xiong quickly led the logistics army to deliver the hot food to them. Everyone was eating in a dark and raised their glasses to drink. They were originally hungry because they had a chest against their backs, and they had just returned from the gates of hell.

Xue Rengui, Liu Renyuan, and Gao Kan also came to visit Pang Xiaotai.

Although Pang Xiaotai was not in Chang'an and had been stationed in the south. His power and status in the court were far inferior to those of commanders such as Qi Bi Heli, but his prestige in the army was very high because he joined the Tang army since Emperor Gaozu and has been respected until now.

It's really a long time since I tasted hungry. Han Yi had just eaten his fill and touched his round belly. When he was about to go for a rest, Ono suddenly walked in and said, "Brother Han, someone is looking for you."

Han Yi glanced at him, just nodded slightly, then walked out of the camp and followed Ono to the beach.

"The villain has met Shangshu Han."

But I saw a man with an ordinary appearance coming over.

Han Yi nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to Secretary Han, the Taiwei hanged himself in Yuzhou not long ago."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyelids drooped, and said, "Suicide?"

"This has been confirmed, and it is undoubtedly suicide, but it is said that it was forced to death by Yuan Gongyu and the others."

Han Yi had no fluctuations in his eyes and asked, "Where are the rest of the Changsun family?"

"Changsun Quan and others were sentenced to death and were executed on the spot, and Changsun Chong was demoted to Lingnan. Only Changsun Yan remained in Yuzhou to keep a mourning filial piety for Changsun Wuji."

Han Yi nodded and said, "I understand. You continue to pay close attention to the movements in the court. No matter what happens, you must report to me quickly."

"The villain understands."

After this person left, Han Yi did not rush back, but sat by the beach and stared blankly at the sea.

Although he had already predicted the ending of Changsun Wuji, who could be ruthless if this person is not a plant or a tree? After all, Changsun Wuji is indispensable along the way, and there will be some sadness in the end.

After a while, Han Yi slowly stood up and thought to himself, Taiwei, although I can have today, you have given me great help, but I have done my best to do my best to do your work for you. As a chess piece, I have a clear conscience towards you. Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his lips slightly and said to himself: "Now Taiwei is dead, no one in this court can threaten Empress Wu - except me."

The news about Changsun Wuji's suicide did not spread in the army. Maybe Li Ji and the others already knew it, maybe they didn't know it. In short, no one in the army talked about this.

The one who talked the most was Dugu Wuyue and Han Yi's rescue of Pang Xiaotai.

Especially in order to save people, Han Yi threw away tens of thousands of ounces of equipment without hesitation. The navy was the most expensive equipment, because all of them were purchased, and they were the most advanced and best. They also gave all the food to the soldiers, including Han Yi's food. Everyone came back hungry. This matter immediately spread in the army. Whenever they talked about this matter, the soldiers felt very happy and became more united. This kind of deed was very easy to infect people.

Yoon Gaisuwen originally planned to destroy Pang Xiaotai and attack the morale of the Tang army too much, but he did not expect to backfire, which in turn inspired the morale of the Tang army.

But at the same time, Li Ji ordered the three armies to start rectifying and stop attacking rashly, and summoned the general managers on the Yalu River to the Central Army for a meeting.

In the central army's tent.

"All large armies of our army arrived at the Yalu River early, but they were unable to make a breakthrough in the Yalu River for a long time. I think this is because our soldiers were too proud and complacent and did not take the enemy seriously, which led to our army's stagnation."

Li Ji glanced at him and continued, "After our army arrived at the Yalu River, they fought on their own. They all believed that Goguryeo was at the end of their power, so they all wanted to be the first to attack Pyongyang City, including me. But this is exactly what Yoon Gaisuwen hoped to see. Don't forget that although we had been unstoppable and had captured many cities before, we did not destroy too many enemy troops, and the main force of the enemy was still there. For both the enemy and us, the war had just begun and we had not yet won the victory. Remember not to relax our guard."

The commanders were silent.

This is the fact that the Tang army did not attack all the way. There are as many as seven general managers in each road alone. This general manager is named after Tao. As the name suggests, you are the general manager of Tao, attack from there and capture that area. This is right. It is reasonable to fight like this. It is impossible to march from all the way only, because it is likely that the enemy will be detoured to the rear. Therefore, it is attacking from all directions and pressing forward on the whole line.

Everyone was so smooth. In their eyes, Goguryeo was the meat on the chopping board, and everyone started to compete for credit. Whether it was Xue Rengui's journey, Pang Xiaotai, and Li Ji's own central army, as soon as they arrived on the Yalu River, they began to attack fiercely, and they did not cooperate with each other.

Li Ji pointed to the map and said, "Looking at the enemy's defense, their troops defended separately, it can be seen that they have expected that our soldiers will be proud and complacent when they arrive here. General Manager Pang crosses the river and fights is the best proof. The enemy has seen where our army's weakness is, but it is too dispersed. They hope to concentrate their troops and divide us and annihilate them. We cannot expect to be lucky enough to meet the navy every time."

Pang Xiaotai looked embarrassed.

He heard Li Ji say again: "But you can't blame General Pang for this matter. This is all my fault. If I had thought of this, our soldiers would not have suffered heavy losses. After returning, I will apologize to Your Majesty."

Pang Xiaotai was so anxious that he stood up and said, "Master General, I--!"

Li Ji raised his hand and said, "Mr. Pang must not say too much. Your Majesty has appointed me as the chief executive. Then it is my duty to coordinate all the armies. If I did not coordinate well, this would be a crime of dereliction of duty. If the enemy army had let me cross the river, I would have been like General Pang. I cannot blame you, General Pang, please sit down."

Pang Xiaotai sat down with gratitude.

The army must have clear rewards and punishments. Pang Xiaotai made such a fatal mistake and should have received the punishment, but Li Ji took the initiative to take it over. However, the only one who could punish Li Ji was the emperor. He was the chief manager, with the highest status and seniority. No one in the army could punish him. That is to say, after the fight, don't rush to punish anyone.

In fact, Li Ji was indeed responsible for this matter. He had already begun to react at that time. Something was not right, but it was too late.

Moreover, the other generals did not blame Pang Xiaotai, because everyone knew that Pang Xiaotai was very good. The whole family was dispatched and almost died. Moreover, the eldest son was killed in battle. Who would have the heart to blame Pang Xiaotai?

Cheng Mingzhen said: "Since that's the case, I think our army should unite and avoid being defeated by the enemy one by one."

Li Ji nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I invite you here today. I think we should concentrate our troops to attack from the south, because here is the closest to Pyongyang. On the northern line, we can send a few troops to garrison on the shore to prevent the enemy from detouring."

Xue Rengui immediately said: "But when we concentrate our troops, the enemy will definitely shrink the front line. Now that Goguryeo is the whole people, if we attack for a strong force, our losses will be huge. I think we have to find a way to send a force to bypass this area's defense and directly attack Pyongyang City."

Li Ji nodded and said, "But this is hard to come by. If you blindly pursue sneak attacks, you may not be worth the loss. General Liu can lead the navy to go to the nearby area to find out if there is a chance."

Liu Renyuan nodded.

Cheng Mingzhen was stunned. Didn’t he agree to make careful plans? Why has it become so hasty now? He said: “But the chief executive, autumn is now coming, and when it comes to winter, we will become difficult.”

The implication is that you should focus on this plan.

Before Li Ji could speak, Han Yi suddenly said: "I am about to talk about this issue. I think this is a very important issue for our army."

Cheng Mingzhen said in surprise: "How do you say this?"

Han Yi said: "I think we over-examination of winter is not good for our army, which leads to our army becoming impatient. It is undeniable that the arrival of winter will indeed cause some difficulty for our army, but we know this, and the enemy must know this. This is why Goguryeo can resist so stubbornly, because they all believe that as long as it is winter, the crisis will be lifted and everything will be fine by the time it is motivated by this psychology, it is very unfavorable for our army."

"It's reasonable." Li Ji nodded and said, "You keep talking."

Han Yi said: "If we become calm, the enemy may be restless and they may be unable to resist taking the initiative, because winter is not only harmful to our army, but also causes great difficulties for the enemy. Now that they are all soldiers, most of their territory is in our hands. They hoard the population of the country in a narrow place. What should we do about the food for the coming year?

How many people can be raised in just that small piece of land? If we set up a long battle, we came from afar, but our country has good weather and sufficient food, and what about them? They have to wait for death. Even if they win the present, they will lose the future. Therefore, this is a psychological war, which depends on who can calm down. The highest level of this tactic is to defeat others without fighting. We can let them see our strong national strength and force them to surrender."
