Du Qi lifted up his robe and sat down, asking: "Father called urgently, but what happened?"
Du Ruhui said: "The king of Qin sent a letter, asking you to rush to Mingzhou and help him take down Liu Heita."
Du Qi frowned and said: "Father, it stands to reason that with the strength of the King of Qin, it is not difficult to destroy Liu Heitai. The King of Qin also said before that the attack on Liu Heitai will be done steadily. Then gradually suppress Liu Heita. As long as there is no problem with the general direction, victory in this battle should not be difficult. Why did the King of Qin send a special letter asking me to go?"
You know, Li Shimin is also surrounded by a lot of talents.
Civil servants and military generals have everything.
Du Qi is not necessarily needed.
Du Ruhui sighed, and said: "The king of Qin conquered Liu Heita, the general direction is indeed no problem, he suppressed Liu Heita gradually, and achieved certain results. During this period, some things happened, which caused His Majesty to be furious, and he was very angry with King Qin. Dissatisfied. Now, His Majesty has already sent the crown prince and Qi Wang Li Yuanji north to Hebei Road to lead the overall situation to participate in the war. His Royal Highness Qin Wang is in a bad situation, and he is even more worried that the situation will continue to deteriorate, so please go."
Du Qidao: "What exactly happened?"
Du Ruhui said firmly: "King Qin led his army into Hebei Road from Guanzhong, and adopted a steady and steady strategy. He stationed in Weizhou, the southernmost part of Hebei Road, to counter Liu Heita who is entrenched in Hebei."
"In order to defeat His Highness, Liu Heita led his troops to attack several times."
"Failed repeatedly."
"Liu Heikai saw that the opportunity was not good, so he retreated northward and entered Xiangzhou. At that time, Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, asked to pursue him, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County, suggested Shi Wanbao to assist Li Daoxuan."
"I didn't know that Li Daoxuan's pursuit was in the territory of Xiangzhou, and Liu Heitai crazily counterattacked. Because Li Daoxuan went deep alone, and even threw away Shi Wanbao, Shi Wanbao failed to rescue him, and Li Daoxuan died in Xiangzhou."
Du Ruhui said: "This is the first reason why the war in Hebei has changed."
Du Qi narrowed his eyes.
There is a problem here.
Li Daoxuan is a man who is good at fighting, so it is impossible not to understand the danger of going deep alone.
Du Qi didn't ask much, and said again: "Father, you just said it was the first reason, so what about the second reason?"
Du Ruhui explained: "The second reason is that the King of Qin led his army all the way to the north and entered the territory of Mingzhou after taking down Xiangzhou. At that time, the general of the garrison in Mingshui County was Wang Junkuo. He couldn't hold the city, so he asked the King of Qin for help, and the King of Qin transferred Wang Junkuo After leaving the city, Luo Shixin was sent into Mingshui County to guard against the attack of Liu Heita's army."
"But in the end, Mingshui County was lost, Luo Shixin was defeated and captured, and was killed for not surrendering."
"This is the second reason for the accident."
"You know, Luo Shixin was also a general, but he died in Mingshui County. And at that time, King Qin rushed to rescue Mingshui County several times, but was stopped by Liu Heita's army and failed to rescue him."
Du Ruhui said: "The two news came back to the court, and the East Palace took advantage of the situation to call for a battle. So the prince who was originally ordered to stay in Chang'an persuaded His Majesty, so the prince and Li Yuanji went north to take overall command."
After Du Qi listened, he felt the inertia of history.
The matter of Li Jiancheng going to fight, it stands to reason that because of plotting against him, he has already been affected, and he was left in Chang'an, so he will not participate in this battle. But Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin were killed again.
caused an accident.
Everything returned to the original line, Li Daoxuan died, Li Shimin's expedition was blocked, and Li Jiancheng led the army northward as the coach. Such a situation was unexpected by Du Qi.
Du Qi then said again: "Father, even if these things happen, it's not enough to say that I will be allowed to go. Could it be, what else is going on."
This is the key point.
Du Ruhui said: "The situation in Mingzhou is indeed very complicated, because in the situation in Hebei, not only did Li Jiancheng go there, but also the Turks mixed in. Jieli Khan arranged cavalry to intervene in the situation in Hebei."
After a pause, Du Ruhui said: "King Qin is in a difficult situation, so he let you go."
"No, this is still not a reason."
Du Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Father, even if such a situation arises, it's not enough to say that I really want to go, because Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others are also with King Qin. There are these people Now, for the King of Qin, he has no shortage of people who can give advice, and it won't be of much use if I go."
Du Ruhui sighed and said, "You boy, you really see clearly."
Du Qidao: "Father, what's going on. Just tell me, I'll think about what to do."
Du Ruhui said: "The biggest problem is that after King Qin failed to attack Liu Heita this time, Li Jiancheng led his troops to the north. He commanded the army and had the right to recruit and transfer Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling away directly. King Qin Without me, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling by your side, there are no real counselors. So, I need you to go."
Du Ruhui didn't intend to hide from Du Qi.
Just want to give it a try.
Let's see if Du Qi can deduce the most fundamental reason, and Du Qi did not live up to his expectations.
Du Ruhui continued: "Speaking of which, there is another matter, which is about Li Daoxuan's death and Luo Shixin's death. At that time, when Li Daoxuan concealed and killed Liu Heitai, Shi Wanbao could have rushed to help, but it was too late."
"Although the King of Qin reprimanded Shi Wanbao for this matter, it didn't stop there. As for Luo Shixin's death, it was also a bit strange. Because at that time, in Mingshui County, there was an internal response to Liu Heitai."
"Because of the internal response, Mingshui County was lost, so Luo Shixin died without surrender."
"However, these things are just speculations, and we don't know for the time being. There is no one around King Qin to give advice, so I sent a letter, please go."
Only then did Du Ruhui tell the whole story.
Du Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.
This is the real reason.
If not, Li Shimin would not have called him over. After all, he is just a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has not yet entered the battlefield. Only around Li Shimin, there is really no real support, so he asked for help.
Du Ruhui said: "Erlang, what do you think about it?"
Du Qidao: "What else can we do? Naturally, we should go to Mingshui County to see the King of Qin. Although the Du family and the King of Qin are temporarily separated, they are still tied together. One is prosperous and the other is damaged. The King of Qin is in trouble now and must go to help. "
Du Ruhui said: "You have to work hard again, kid, and this time the battle is not easy, you have to be careful."
Du Qi said with a smile: "Even if the son goes, it is to make suggestions, not to charge, so the father does not have to worry about the safety of the son, it is no problem."
Du Ruhui said: "No matter what, be careful."
After a pause, Du Ruhui said: "Time is running out, so don't linger any longer, hurry up and start your journey. However, your news should not be known to the Imperial Army, nor to His Majesty who is far away in Chang'an."
"I understand."
Du Qi nodded with a smile, and said, "I'll go back and make some arrangements, then we'll set off."
"OK!"
Du Ruhui nodded in agreement. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
