Du Qidao: "His Royal Highness should be aware of the battle report sent during this period. Five days ago, it was Zhao County King Li Xiaogong who led an army to attack Mingshui County. Because the county is surrounded by rivers, it is difficult for our army to cross the river. Even after crossing the river, attack There are also considerable difficulties in Mingshui County, after all, Mingshui County is strong."
"So, Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao Jun, failed."
"Four days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Liu Hongji to attack Mingshui County again, but it failed again in the end."
"Three days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Duan Zhixuan to attack, but it still failed."
"Two days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Yin Kaishan to attack Mingshui County. At that time, people from King Qin's family attacked Mingshui County successively, but they failed repeatedly. There were rumors in the army that the generals of King Qin's line were not worthy of the name."
"Public opinion is raging all of a sudden."
"Yin Kaishan led the army and went all out to attack, which proved the strength of the generals of the Qin Palace. They took risks and attacked them regardless of personal life and death. Yin Kaishan had already reached the top of the city, but he died in the battle in the end, and the offensive was complete. reduced to nothing."
"Just yesterday, Zhang Shigui led troops to attack the city again, but he was still defeated."
Du Qi talked eloquently, and said: "From the beginning to the end, the people who attacked Mingshui County were all generals of Prince Qin's residence, and no one from the prince's family was seen. The most important thing is that when the city was attacked, no one who gave to King Qin was seen. To respond, only a few soldiers and horses were given."
"Such a constant consumption of the Qin Palace's troops."
"It has a great impact on the Qin Palace."
"Previously, the generals of Prince Qin's Mansion were asked to come forward, but the generals only lost face and dignity. However, His Highness has never been involved. Looking at the prince's strategy, it should be to attack you."
"To weaken your prestige."
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "An invincible King Qin, and a King Qin who failed in battles, and even the whole army of King Qin's mansion who failed in battles. At that time, the whole army will think that the King Qin's mansion is not invincible, which is tantamount to weakening The influence of the King of Qin in the army. Li Jiancheng did not dare to frame the King of Qin, but he was able to weaken the King of Qin justifiably."
Li Shimin fell silent after listening.
He didn't think of this.
During this period of time, Li Shimin has always been unfavorable, passive everywhere, and didn't think clearly about what happened when he fell to the ground. Now after listening to Du Qi's words, Li Shimin suddenly realized.
Seems to be true.
This is the reason why there is a lack of counselors around him. Without counselors to analyze the situation, and without counselors to make suggestions, it will have a great impact on Li Shimin. Even though Li Shimin is resolute, brave and fearless, his resoluteness on the battlefield is often useless in the face of conspiracy and tricks.
So Li Shimin needs a counselor.
Li Shimin said: "Erlang, if the crown prince really joins the war, how should he deal with it?"
Du Qi said solemnly: "You can only participate in the war. If you refuse to participate in the war, it is tantamount to handing over the handle to Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng can hold His Highness accountable."
Li Shimin said: "But on the battlefield, but as you said, under the situation of insufficient troops, it is very likely that the casualties will be increased, and the prince will also count. According to your inference, then after I am defeated, the next step is It's time for the crown prince to order the general attack, right?"
"yes!"
Du Qi nodded and answered.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he was also thinking about the trade-offs.
It's not that he doesn't understand.
It's just that I didn't think it through for a while, but now that I think it through, Li Shimin can make a decision.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and said after a while: "Since that's the case, then we can only join the battle. As long as this king joins the battle, he must destroy Mingshui County and prevent the prince's plan from succeeding."
Du Qidao: "King Qin is wise, the only way to break the current situation is to use tyrannical force to break through Mingshui County and order Liu Heita to withdraw his troops. As long as King Qin wins this battle, even if Li Jiancheng is the coach, he will It's nothing if you don't take credit for beheading Liu Heitai, after all, the situation is unstoppable. It's just that fighting Liu Heitai in this battle is really a big loss."
"Yes, the loss is huge."
Li Shimin's mood dropped immediately.
Li Daoxuan died in battle.
Luo Shixin died in battle.
Yin Kaishan died in battle.
Li Daoxuan was born in the clan. He is not very old, but he is good at fighting. He is a member of the clan under Li Shimin's command. As for Luo Shixin and Yin Kaishan, they were both generals under Li Shimin's command, but they both died here.
The loss is too great.
Du Qi comforted: "Your Highness, you don't have toheart. Everything today will be returned one by one in the future. After all, under the current situation, Li Jiancheng is the prince, who has taken the right and the upper hand, so that His Highness has nothing to do. What His Highness has to do now is not only to build meritorious deeds, but also to protect himself. "
Li Shimin said: "Erlang's words are like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which makes this king suddenly open."
Du Qidao: "Your Highness is in the middle of the game, so I can't figure it out. If Uncle Changsun and Uncle Fang were by your side, they would have given you some advice. Speaking of which, the two of them are now recruited to Li Jiancheng. Could it be that you can't go back to His Highness?"
"I can't come back!"
Li Shimin shook his head and answered.
He said in a deep voice: "Under the current situation, their actions are restricted under Li Jiancheng's command. Under such a situation, they are very passive."
Du Qidao: "It seems that if we want them to come back, we have to wait until the end of this battle. But this time, Li Jiancheng has tasted the sweetness of transferring the people under His Highness's command, and he will definitely continue to follow suit in the future."
"Although in Chang'an, it is not possible to transfer away your eldest grandson uncle and others, but it is very likely that many generals and advisers will be released as officials, just like my father. "
"Such a situation is difficult even for His Highness to stop. It is an open conspiracy, not a conspiracy."
Du Qi raised the possibility of the future.
Li Shimin said: "It is indeed possible, but now we can only take one step at a time."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier reported outside.
The curtain of the camp tent was raised, a soldier entered, and reported: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send an order, please go."
"knew."
Li Shimin waved his hands to make the soldiers retreat.
After the soldiers retreated, Li Shimin looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, you really expected it. Just now, the prince has arranged for someone to deliver the order."
Du Qidao: "Your Highness, just go, it's just the news of my arrival, Your Highness, please keep it secret. Once the crown prince knows that I'm coming, he will target His Highness even more."
Li Shimin said: "This king is clear."
In fact, Li Shimin's news about Du Qi was originally hidden, and he strictly ordered people in the army to spread the news about Du Qi.
Li Shimin immediately stood up, changed into a suit of clothes, and left the military tent, heading for Li Jiancheng's camp. When he entered the tent of the Chinese army where Li Jiancheng was, he saluted and said, "His Royal Highness!"
Li Jiancheng said with a smile on his face, "King Qin is here, come, sit down!"
Li Shimin lifted up his robe and sat down. With a bright smile on his face, Li Jiancheng said, "King Qin, the Prince called you here to attack Mingshui County."
Li Shimin said: "Prince, please tell me."
Li Jiancheng said: "Liu Thief is currently entrenched in Mingshui County, arrogant and unable to attack for a long time. Everyone in this army believes that King Qin is the God of War, and he is invincible. Therefore, this prince has made a plan to arrange for you to send troops tomorrow to storm Mingshui County. You, what's your opinion?"
"No!"
Li Shimin shook his head and answered.
Previously, he had listened to Du Qi's analysis, and Li Shimin didn't think there was any surprise.
After all, I was mentally prepared. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
