The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the horizon, making the entire horizon golden, as if rendering the entire horizon once.
In the city, in the barracks.
The big account of the Chinese army.
Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shentong were drinking. At this time, all three of them were a little dizzy from drinking. After all, I have been chatting and drinking during the day, and I have never stopped drinking.
For Li Jiancheng, winning this battle will inevitably establish a huge prestige. Liu Heitai is a veteran general, such a person is not easy to deal with, it would be a great thing to defeat Liu Heitai, or even win Liu Heitai.
To put it simply, Li Jiancheng is a little drifting now.
He felt that war was nothing more than that.
If he hadn't been by Li Yuan's side all the time in the early years, if he had gone to the battlefield to fight, then now, perhaps he has already made great achievements, accumulated countless military achievements, and would have countless people in the army to support him.
This is what Li Jiancheng thinks now.
Li Shentong now completely falls for Li Jiancheng. Although he said he was a little drunk, in fact, his mind was clear. For an old fox like him, this drink has no effect at all.
Li Shen said: "Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness, wait until the army led by Xue Wanche returns triumphantly. Then, your highness, you can draw up a good news, and Pegasus will send someone back to Chang'an to announce the good news."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Where is the need to wait for Xue Wanche to come back? In my opinion, it is possible to draw up a good news now and send it back by flying horse. As long as the good news is sent back, the emperor should reward him."
Li Shentong nodded and stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "What His Royal Highness Qi Wang said is very true."
Li Jiancheng was even more ecstatic.
I feel happy in my heart.
This feeling of being praised, this feeling of being respected, is really great.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a soldier entered and reported: "His Royal Highness, a sentry from the front has returned."
"pass!"
Li Jiancheng gave an order.
The soldiers went to inform, and a moment later, the sentry came in in a panic, knelt on one knee and said, "His Royal Highness, something is wrong. General Xue went to cover up and kill Liu Heitai, but was ambushed and lost troops."
Boom! !
Li Jiancheng's mind exploded.
There was a momentary blank in front of my eyes.
Li Jiancheng believes that this battle must be won and it is impossible to fail. But under such a premise, how could it be possible to be ambushed? Just like before, he was already ready to draw up a good report and send it back.
Until now, everything has ceased.
Nothing.
Not only that, he also lost.
Such a situation was placed on Li Jiancheng, and the gap was too great, and Li Jiancheng couldn't accept it for a while.
Li Shentong and Li Yuanji were also dumbfounded.
What's going on!
All of them were defeated.
Li Yuanji couldn't wait to say: "What happened? How many people were lost?"
The scout shook his head and said: "The specific damage result is temporarily unknown. We only know that we were ambushed by the Turks. At that time, General Xue asked us to report the news quickly, so the follow-up result is temporarily unknown. It is estimated that it will take another quarter of an hour at most." , and there will be new news.¡±
Li Jiancheng waved his hands with a livid face and said, "Go down!"
"yes!"
Sentinel turned around and retreated.
Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, and said: "Liu Heita's army retreated, and there were Turkic cavalry outside to help us, and they were ambushing us. It's a shame that there are Turkic cavalry. This time the pursuit is inevitable. The loss is huge."
Li Shen said: "The reason why the old man lost at the beginning was because Liu Heizai and the Turkic people colluded together. But the Turkic people have been away for a long time, and they came again. Alas, what a miscalculation, what a mistake!"
Li Yuanji said: "I thought we were going to seize the opportunity this time. Unexpectedly, now we can't steal the chicken. Li Shimin didn't do anything, but nothing happened. If I had known this, I should have done it." Let Li Shimin go after him."
Li Jiancheng said: "It is meaningless to say this now."
"Come here, tell Wei Zheng to see you."
Li Jiancheng gave orders immediately.
Not long after, Wei Zheng entered the tent and bowed to salute Li Jiancheng. Seeing Li Jiancheng's slightly drunk appearance, he even felt angry in his heart, wishing to yell at him.
But Wei Zheng lost his mind again.
Persuasion is useless.
Now he can only go on this road.
Li Jiancheng quickly talked about Xue Wanche's defeat, and Wei Zheng's cheeks twitched after hearing this. When Li Shimin attacked Mingshui County earlier, he had a bad feeling. He always felt that Li Shimin might break Mingshui County. In the end, his worries came true, and Li Shimin had indeed broken Mingshui County.
When Xue Wanche led the army to pursue Liu Heita, Wei Zheng felt that something was wrong, but Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shentong all looked excited, and he didn't speak to persuade him. Unexpectedly, his worries became reality again.
Wei Zheng sighed inwardly.
Could it be that God does not bless Prince Li Jiancheng?
If that wasn't the case, how could they lose at the two most critical moments one after another?
When Wei Zheng lost his mind, Li Jiancheng said: "Xuancheng, now that Xue Wanche is defeated, he will definitely lose his troops. How can we fight this battle?"
Wei Zheng quickly regained his composure after a brief absence. He thought quickly, and then said: "Your Highness, since the incident has already happened, it is useless to pursue the responsibility. There are three things to do now."
Li Jiancheng said: "Say!"
Wei Zheng said: "First, appease Xue Wanche."
"Xue Wanche is capable, but his strategy is not good. It is very good to use him as a general. Besides, there is a lack of generals around His Royal Highness, so after Xue Wanche comes back, His Royal Highness can blame him, but more importantly, he must be blamed. Encourage him to let him know his shame and be brave, so that he can get rid of his shame."
"Second, it is to encourage the soldiers in the army."
"So many soldiers were killed or injured in this battle, not because of Liu Heita, but because of the Turks. Therefore, the Turks were used to boost morale, make the soldiers be cautious, and let them be full of hatred for the Turks, so as to avenge their hatred."
"In this way, there will be no shadows in the hearts of the lieutenant soldiers, but the fighting spirit will be high. Otherwise, if they are ignored, the morale may be low and the army's morale will be lost."
Wei Zheng looked solemn, and continued: "As for the third, it is on the King of Qin. After Xue Wanche's defeat in this battle, we will pay close attention to the direction of Liu Heita's garrison."
"After Liu Heitai settled down in the next stronghold, he sent the King of Qin to attack the fortification again, and let the King of Qin face the forces of the Turks and Liu Heitai. In this way, even if the Turks were strong, even if Liu Heitai was not weak. But Facing the military strength of the King of Qin, Liu Heita and the Turkic people can't get any benefits, and in the end, both sides will suffer."
"For us, it is to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"After Liu Heita's strength weakens, we will attack Liu Heita and destroy him in one go."
"This is what we need to do now."
Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness, please think twice."
After Li Jiancheng heard it, he thought about it carefully, with an expression of approval on his face, and said, "Yes, yes, Xuancheng's analysis is very reasonable. Next, we will do this. In a word, we must stabilize the morale of the army and Keep your heart in mind, and then use the strength of the King of Qin to attack Liu Heita."
Wei Zheng said: "That's what it means."
Li Jiancheng discussed the follow-up matters with Wei Zheng again, and after a while, a sentry came in and reported: "His Royal Highness, General Xue Wanche has returned with the army."
"knew!"
Li Jiancheng nodded, and said: "Tell Xue Wanche, after the soldiers in the army are settled, the crown prince is waiting for Xue Wanche to come."
"yes!"
The soldier turned to inform. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
