Chapter 593 Final Battle ([-])
Half a month later
Imperial Capital
"No matter how you say it, the battle force is 140 million versus [-], and the advantage lies with me!"

Yang Guang was very impatient with those ministers who advised him to retreat.

Now is a big advantage!retreat?What are you thinking?

The reasons given by the ministers are also very good. Liaodong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yan is famous for its boats. Although it cannot invade the Central Plains because of its small force, it is still very easy to protect itself with the help of dangerous mountains and rivers and warship technology.

If the empire forcibly attacks Liaodong, even if it manages to defeat it, it will definitely lose its troops and destroy its generals, making life difficult for the people of the world.

"Using the national fortune of the Sui Dynasty to consume the national fortune of the Yan Kingdom is not what wise men do!"

"You mean I'm stupid?"

"The minister didn't mean that."

"Hmph! Drag it down, chop!"

"Your Majesty! No!—"

The total strength of the Sui Empire is 140 million, including 110 million from land, 20 from sea, [-] East Turkic servants, [-] Kumoxi servants, and [-] Khitan servants.

The total strength of the Yan State is actually [-], including [-] imperial guards, [-] noble soldiers, [-] guild mercenaries, [-] black water chieftain soldiers, [-] Korean servants, and [-] Fuyu servants. soldiers, five thousand Wuji servants, three thousand Shiwei servants, one thousand Turkic servants, and one thousand Linyi servants.

Generals of Shanhaiguan: Yan Dan, Yan Min, Yan Lang, Yan Duo, Yan Ge, Yan Xiangsheng, Yan Yuanshou, Yan Li]

Pointing to the location of Shanhaiguan on the map, Yang Guang said to himself, "You will be afraid of a mere pass. I have an army of millions. Throwing whips can stop the flow, and one person can flood Shanhaiguan with a mouthful of saliva."

After all, he emphasized again: "No matter how you say it, the battle force is 140 million versus [-], and the advantage lies with me!"

And in the old capital of Yan State (Taohuagang/Dalian City)
Because it is very close to Shanhaiguan, Central Plains, and Xindu, it is easy to receive information and issue orders, so it became Yan Xu's headquarters.

A group of generals gathered together, discussed with each other, and looked at the various maps hanging on the walls around them.

There are Liaodong administrative map, Liaodong topographic map, Liaodong climate map, Liaodong population resource distribution map, Liaodong traffic route map, as well as various maps of Shanhaiguan, and even maritime maps, including the Bohai Sea route map, the Yellow Sea route map, and the East China Sea route map , sea climate map, sea wind and wave map, etc., to understand the situation at sea, including where there are hidden reefs, where is suitable for landing, where is suitable for ambush, etc., etc., all are clearly marked.

There are not only big maps, but also maps specific to a certain village. For example, there is a small road near Shanhaiguan that can be detoured. There is a village at the entrance and exit of that small road. Even such small villages are drawn on special maps.

Yan State's control over Liaodong and Liaoxi is beyond the imagination of the Central Plains.

Although Yan Guo has few people, all kinds of preparations are very sufficient.

"According to reliable information, the Sui army's current combat plan is that the navy will directly attack the new capital, and a million troops will smash Shanhaiguan, but some troops will also be allocated to smuggle through the various mountain trails in Yanshan, Turks, Khitans, Kumoxi, Then pass through the Liaohe River, attack our Nanze City, and threaten us from the side."

After hearing this, everyone in the room looked dignified, the strength of the Sui army was too large, even if it was just a partial division responsible for containment, they would have a numerical advantage over Yan.

"This battle is not easy to fight, but it is not easy to fight. I hope everyone will have the determination to win!" Yan Xu encouraged.

He joined the army since he was a child, fighting against Hou Jing, Qi, Liang, Chen, Goguryeo, Heishui, and indigenous people. Now he is going to fight against the Sui Dynasty. He has fought all his life, from the age of 15 to 80 .

Fifteen from the army, eighty white-haired generals!
Clang!
A noble general of the Yan Kingdom suddenly drew his sword and shouted loudly:

"For the family! For our motherland! The descendants of ancestor Kang, there are no cowards!"

The rest of the people were also infected by the atmosphere. They pulled out their swords and shouted loudly:
"For the family! For our motherland! The descendants of ancestor Kang, there are no cowards!"

"For the family! For our motherland! The descendants of ancestor Kang, there are no cowards!"

"For the family! For our motherland! The descendants of ancestor Kang, there are no cowards!"

As the sun set, some guards lit the oil lamps in the house, and faint figures floated in the house.

Looking at these younger generations of the family, Yan Xu was very relieved. In terms of seniority, he was their elder, but Yan Xu would never be like Zhong Yuan, who would use the majesty of the elders and the authority of the parents, and would not bully the younger with the big.

For these young juniors, he is also very happy to see them grow up and work hard for the family.

"Our response plan is that Shanhaiguan and Nanze City can only be defended to the death. There are too many enemies, and going out of the city is a dead end."

"But Sui's navy can cut them off."

"Their navy is divided into battleships, troop carriers, and supply ships. Our fleet can go around behind their fleet group, attack their supply ships, and let their food sink into the sea."

"As a result, they have no supplies, and even if they go ashore, they can only be forced to attack the city, or be forced to disperse and loot around."

"If we are forced to attack the city, we can cut off their connection with the Central Plains, so that they cannot get support from the Central Plains, and then slowly consume them, and consume them to death in Xindu!"

"If the looting is scattered, then we will use cavalry to defeat them one by one!"

This can be regarded as a standard method of combat at sea. Everyone nodded and generally agreed, but they expressed their own opinions on some details.

Yan Xu nodded with a smile. He was willing to listen to opinions and would not go his own way. Therefore, by listening to the opinions of these juniors, he plugged some undetected loopholes in his combat plan in advance.

On the one hand, the emperor insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to other people's opinions, on the other hand, the monarch accepted advice humbly and let everyone speak freely.

From the very beginning, it seemed that the outcome of this war was decided.
