Everyone became confident when they heard that Emperor Yang of Sui was so confident.

Li De only encouraged them spiritually. Since the business has been done, he hoped that they could win the war, but the specific situation depends on the situation.

There were more than 6,000 ships of all sizes sent from the south, and the number of troops transported at one time reached 50,000, including corresponding supplies. For this battle, ships on the southern coast were basically dispatched.

So during this period, it affected the development of the southern coastal areas, and the most important thing was that it affected water freight. Losing ships and many cargoes could only be transported by land. Not only did it increase the cost, it also required a large amount of manpower to be requisitioned.

This led to a significant increase in the price of goods. For example, the price of cloth from the south was shipped to the north and increased significantly. In the past, he could make two new sets of clothes in a year, but now he can only barely make one.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't care about these things. Anyway, he sent ships to fight for war. As for the money he rented and requisitioned, he was too lazy to care about. If he didn't care, it did not mean that the merchants would not care about it. However, in the face of major issues, it was actually under the pressure of the court. Many people couldn't say anything.

If you want to blame, who will blame them for having a boat at home?

Li De now did not know what Emperor Yang of Sui would bring to the Sui society. He would not give the money and grain without being delivered.

In Penglai City, Emperor Yang of Sui was in the palace of the General. Liu Xuanli and others asked carefully when discussing things with the emperor: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers from the northwest soldiers have not arrived yet, should you wait?"

In fact, it is not just Liu Xuanli who wants to ask about this matter, but many ministers want to ask. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Northwest soldiers and 100,000 soldiers cannot be underestimated. They all expect Northwest soldiers to come to fight.

Emperor Yang of Sui's face was calm. He thought it was very simple. It was just an excuse to lead the army to recruit people to fight with weapons. It was impossible.

His personal expedition stopped at Penglai City. He attached great importance to the arrival of the Northwest soldiers. Otherwise, how could he issue an order to attack? It was not because there were 100,000 Northwest soldiers who could escort him.

Emperor Yang of Sui never thought that the Northwest soldiers were on a boat to fight. After all, the Northwest soldiers were not good at water battles. Even if they were really transported to the other side, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced by half.

Although Emperor Yang of Sui liked to live a life of being drunk and enchanting, he was not a fool and was very good at fighting. When King of Jin was the one who led troops to fight, how could he not pay attention to the taboos of military service?

His thoughts were like this but he couldn't say them. If the ministers knew his thoughts, wouldn't he be laughed at for being timid?

"Soldiers are very fast. The soldiers gathered in Penglai for so long and I don't believe that the Koreans have no suspicion. Even those pirates will report the news. We cannot delay the time to prepare for the enemy."

"The northwest and Penglai are far away, and it is unknown when the northwest soldiers will arrive. Besides, we cannot expect people who are not good at water war to fight. There must be an adaptation process, so the action after three days cannot be delayed."

Emperor Yang of Sui was very polite. Liu Xuanli and others seemed to be like that. No one else said anything. Liu Xuanli was a minister of the Ministry of War and was familiar with military affairs, and the ministers were watching him.

At present, he is the one among these court officials who knows military affairs, so it is equivalent to entrusting the ministers' love.

Although the court officials are all doing things for the emperor, they really can’t get along with the emperor when they form cliques and unite. After all, they are different interest groups.

Civil and military officials usually don’t deal with each other, but at this critical moment, the civil servants don’t have much thoughts. They just want to live.

Liu Xuanli was a minister of the Ministry of War and was considered a civil servant. Don’t be responsible for the affairs of the generals.

"Your Majesty is right. The Northwest soldiers are very powerful in combat, and they are just fighting on land. If they are transferred to the sea, they may lose their troops in non-combat due to the lack of adaptation to the local environment." Liu Xuanli said.

It’s not that they have fought on the shores of Goryeo. It’s very common for them to be unacceptable to the local conditions. Didn’t they encounter such a thing in the last login battle?

He asked about the Northwest War Horses and wanted to know if the emperor had any better arrangements. Since there was no such thing, he would not have to worry too much about this matter and continued to discuss the next thing.

"Who will your Majesty lead the troops to attack in three days?" Liu Xuanli continued to ask.

Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it and asked tentatively: "Do you think Yuwen Chengdu is feasible?"

Liu Xuanli was unwilling to do so. The reason was actually very simple because General Tianbao was not good at water battles, so it would be inappropriate to lead people to charge.

Then Liu Xuanli told him what he was worried about, and even said that the safety of the imperial commander in person was the most important. Wouldn't it be better to have General Tianbao stay by his side?

Emperor Yang of Sui did not want Yuwen Chengdu to go, but there was no better candidate now, so let's talk about it and see the attitude of the ministers.

Although this matter is a trivial matter, it is actually a test of court officials.

It is understandable that Yuwen Chengdu goes to war. The ministers disagree. How many people disagree actually reflects the weight of the Yuwen family and the emperor's speech indirectly.

Emperor Yang of Sui understood the truth but did not explain it.

Looking at the ministers, he had a plan in his mind.

"Liu Xuanli, do you have any suitable candidate?" Emperor Yang of Sui continued.

Liu Xuanli thought about it and naturally had a choice of commander. Just find someone who is a good war. There are only a handful of those who meet the conditions. The famous commanders in the past were all defeated by Emperor Yang of Sui because of the failure of the Goryeo War. They killed those who should be killed and arrested, and criticized them.

If it is right now, there is only the Great Governor of Youzhou, Li De, but he is very clear about the matter between the emperor and Li De. He is not in the first place and asked him to command the troops of the Sui Kingdom. He believes that as long as he dares to say Li De's name, he will not be able to save his life.

"Your Majesty is good at fighting waters. It is very suitable for you to come to protect the other person. You can make him feel grateful for his crimes and meritorious service." Liu Xuanli said.

Emperor Yang of Sui thought that this person was pretty good. As for the argument that he made meritorious service, he was actually used to appease and protect his son, because he was in such an embarrassing situation that he wanted to resolve the misunderstandings and contradictions.

Especially those who were afraid of him, the emperor had rebelled before and sold all the prisoners of Goryeo because of the Goryeo envoy. Each of them was a matter of life.

Now Liu Xuanli proposed that this meritorious service in his crime is to give him a step forward, and as long as he completes everything according to the requirements, everything will be offset by the merit.

Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it and said that the battle between Sui general Zhonglai Hu'er was very powerful, but he did not win the battle last time he met Yang Xuangan at the sea, which made him hesitate a little.

After all, the commander of 600,000 soldiers was not a joke, and he was a little worried when he handed it to the water.
