At the gate of Nancheng, the shouts gradually subsided.
Everyone, enter the city.
Instinctively, Li Shimin ordered: "Come here, pass on the order, and leave a thousand elite soldiers to guard Mingshui County. The rest of the people, chase Liu Heita quickly, and make sure to keep Liu Heita in Mingshui County."
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Du Qi stopped him.
Li Shimin looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, why stop it?"
It is normal to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
This is an opportunity.
Once this opportunity is missed, it will be impossible to destroy Liu Heita. Therefore, Li Shimin believes that now is an excellent opportunity to pursue, and he must work hard.
Du Qidao: "Your Highness, there are two reasons why you are not allowed to order the pursuit."
Li Shimin said: "Say!"
Du Qidao: "First, Li Jiancheng will not let you pursue him. Anyone who is a human being can see that Mingshui County has won this battle. If Liu Heita retreats, he will become a bereaved dog. Leading troops to pursue now is a profit. Take credit for it. Does Your Highness think that Li Jiancheng will miss such an excellent opportunity?"
Li Shimin said: "The prince will indeed not let go of the opportunity to take down Liu Heita."
Du Qi nodded and said: "So I expected that Li Jiancheng would send someone to send an order immediately to order His Highness to garrison the county seat and wipe out the enemies in the county seat, and will not let His Highness leave the county seat."
A gleam of gloom passed over Li Shimin's face.
Now it is everywhere.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "What about the second reason?"
Du Qi said: "Secondly, don't chase after the poor. You must know that Liu Heizai's troubles in Hebei, across Hebei, have always been involving Turkic people. I checked the previous information carefully, and there were no Turkic people in the previous sieges. .¡±
"Not only that, the Turkic people seem to have disappeared out of thin air. So I conclude that the Turkic people must be hiding near Mingshui County. This is to hide Liu Heita's fighting power."
"It might even be Liu Heita's trump card."
"Now that Liu Heita has lost in Mingshui County, if he wants to reverse the situation and change the current situation, he has to hope that the Turks will come forward. So when Li Jiancheng sent people to pursue him, I think Liu Heita must join forces with the Turks to pursue him Soldiers."
Du Qi said: "So this time the pursuers must be ambushed."
When Li Shimin heard it, he suddenly realized.
If Du Qi didn't point it out, Li Shimin wouldn't have thought of this level. But Du Qi broke the point, and Li Shimin understood it immediately.
This matter is really the case.
Li Shimin thought for a while, and continued: "Erlang, since we have seen through this situation. Then, can we send troops to follow behind, and prepare to pinch the Turks and Liu Heita?"
"No!"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, do you still want to take the blame?"
Li Shimin said: "What do you mean?"
Du Qi said: "As long as His Royal Highness leads the army to follow behind, once Li Jiancheng's pursuit is defeated. Then, Li Jiancheng can be said to be because you knew it clearly, but you didn't point it out, and didn't remind you. In the end, His Highness suffered again. For now I can only ignore it. Anyway, it is Li Jiancheng's strength that will be lost."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "But, this is also Datang's army!"
Du Qidao: "Your Highness thinks this way because His Highness has a big heart and will not persecute his own people. But, will the other party think so, will he think so?"
"If Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shentong all considered the overall situation, would Li Daoxuan, Luo Shixin, and Yin Kaishan die on the battlefield? Your Highness, the situation is already in turmoil, and there is simply no way to have the best of both worlds."
"It's impossible for Your Highness to take care of the overall situation. Your Highness, the most urgent thing is to wait and see what happens."
Du Qi made a suggestion.
"well¡¡"
Li Shimin sighed.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness sent a message."
Li Shimin said: "Please!"
The soldiers went to deliver the order, and after a while, the orderly came.
The messenger came in front of Li Shimin, clasped his fists in salute and said: "His Royal Highness Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent an order to invite His Royal Highness Qin to sit in Mingshui County, stabilize the situation in the county, and wipe out the thieves in the county."
"knew."
Li Shimin responded directly.
The orderly turned and left.
?Li Shimin looked at Du Qi, and sighed again: "Erlang, all this is really as you said. The crown prince really treats me like a thorn in the flesh, and I'm not willing to let it go!"
Du Qidao: "That's what the battle for the heir apparent is all about. Your Highness, do you think we can coexist with Li Jiancheng?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Erlang, after embarking on this road, this king knows that there is no way forward. He can only go forward and cannot retreat. This king is not going to do it. What naive idea is there, thinking that he can win the crown prince? position, and can complete the brotherhood."
"it's out of the question."
Li Shimin said: "The king's consideration is that he doesn't want to cause casualties to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty because of the internal fighting.
Du Qidao: "Your Highness is thoughtful, that's great. But everything, you can only do your best and obey the destiny."
Li Shimin said: "That's right, I can only do my best."
After a pause, Li Shimin issued an order, instructing: "Send the order, the army will stay where it is, clean up the bandits in Mingshui County, and stabilize the situation."
The orderly sent the order quickly.
The army of King Qin's lineage stationed in the city and did not pursue it.
This situation was quickly discovered by Li Jiancheng. When Li Jiancheng learned that Li Shimin had stopped and stopped advancing, he finally felt at ease.
In Li Jiancheng's heart, he was actually worried about Li Shimin's disobedience and disrespect, so he insisted on chasing Liu Heitai. Once Li Shimin really did this, even if Li Jiancheng reprimanded Li Shimin, it would be difficult to reprimand Li Shimin for his great achievements.
After all, foreign military orders will not be accepted.
However, Li Shimin agreed.
Now Xue Wanche has dispatched 30,000 troops to fight. With a force of 30,000 troops, it would be a breeze for Li Jiancheng to win this time.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shentong and said with a smile, "Junwang Huai'an, if Liu Heita is eliminated in this battle, then the situation in Hebei will be settled. Even if Li Shimin won the first prize, the person who killed Liu Heita It's us. It's easy to write in this battle report. In short, the battle in Hebei is thanks to the King of Huai'an."
Li Shentong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you are being polite. The situation in Hebei can be won. In fact, it is also thanks to His Royal Highness's army, and also thanks to His Royal Highness's wise leadership."
The two were polite to each other.
They are all flattering each other.
Wei Zheng looked up at the proud Li Jiancheng and shook his head inwardly. As a coach, it's not good to show such anger. Moreover, Wei Zheng also felt in his heart that Xue Wanche led his troops to pursue him, and he didn't know what would happen in the end.
But Wei Zheng still didn't say anything.
Li Jiancheng was in high spirits, talking at this time would easily dampen Li Jiancheng's interest and even annoy Li Jiancheng. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
