Li Yuanji and Li Shentong led their troops to leave the camp respectively, and set up a net around the county town. Now Li Yuanji and Li Shentong are stuck on the main road, as long as Liu Heitai escapes from the city, he cannot escape the pursuit of Li Yuanji and Li Shentong.
Both of them are waiting.
Time passed bit by bit.
A quarter of an hour is fleeting. At this time, Li Yuanji is not very anxious, because this is just the beginning, and there is nothing to be done for a quarter of an hour. But two quarters of an hour later, the sentry sent by Li Yuanji to monitor the movement of the county reported that Liu Heitai had not left the city during the whole process. As soon as the news came out, Li Yuanji frowned.
The county seat has already been breached, and Liu Heita should have left the city, but to this day, Liu Heita has not yet left the city, which is unlikely.
The situation is really puzzling.
Li Yuanji was worried, so he arranged a sentry and rushed to the county to inquire about the news. It didn't take long for the news to come back, and Liu Heita had already led his army to break through.
It's just that they didn't break out from the city, but chose to evacuate by water.
When the news came out, Li Yuanji was dumbfounded.
How can it be?
He waited bitterly outside the city, but he didn't expect that the other party had already evacuated, and he did so by water.
Li Yuanji felt aggrieved.
He had prepared so well, but in the end, Liu Heitai didn't come, which made him feel as if he had punched nothing, and his eyebrows were extremely uncomfortable. Li Yuanji withdrew his troops and immediately returned to the barracks, because he could not remember at this time.
When Li Yuanji returned, Li Shentong also just returned.
Li Shentong also got the news.
Li Yuanji sighed and said, "Prince of Huai'an, you also got the news that Liu Heita evacuated from the waterway?"
"yes!"
Li Shentong nodded and answered.
Li Shen said: "I didn't expect that Liu Heita was so cunning. We all thought he broke out of the city, but we didn't expect him to break through the waterway in the city. Yes, the river in this city is about three feet wide. The widest place is at least four feet wide, which can accommodate ships to leave. Now that the current is strong, it is not difficult to evacuate."
Li Yuanji said: "Indeed!"
Li Shen said: "Let's go, first go to see the prince."
The two went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After seeing Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji explained the general situation. Li Jiancheng's complexion darkened immediately, his face was full of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Damn Liu Heita, who escaped at this time."
After a pause, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, why didn't you deduce it? As long as it is confirmed that Liu Heitai broke through by water, we can easily win this battle. .¡±
Wei Zhengdao: "His Royal Highness, the minister has neglected his duty."
At this moment, Wei Zheng felt helpless.
He is indeed the mastermind.
The problem is that he is not omnipotent. He didn't take this matter into account because he didn't think carefully.
Wei Zheng couldn't explain anything.
Seeing that Wei Zheng pleaded guilty and did not defend himself, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, Xuan Cheng, it's useless to hold you accountable. Tell me how to solve the current problem. Li Shimin originally broke Quzhou County, and he got the credit for that." , we took down Liu Heita, and the great merit is in our hands. But now that Liu Heita has escaped, Li Shimin has made another contribution. This time, we have gained nothing."
Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, there is no other way at the moment, after all Liu Heita has escaped."
Li Jiancheng sighed dejectedly.
Li Shentong now has a deep hatred for the Qin Palace. Because of the eldest grandson Wugou's matchmaking, Du Qi and Li Xiaogong's family got engaged, and the Du family's rejection of his family's marriage proposal was tantamount to dishonoring him, and Du Ruhui belonged to Li Shimin.
Li Shentong wished that Li Shimin's life would be difficult.
Li Shen said: "His Royal Highness, Liu Heita was not captured this time. Although Liu Heita is cunning, in my opinion, the King of Qin also has an unshirkable responsibility."
Li Jiancheng said: "How to say?"
Li Shentong said seriously: "In the battle of Quzhou County, although Li Shimin broke Quzhou County, he obviously had the opportunity to take down Liu Heita in one go and completely solve the chaos in Hebei. But Liu Heita escaped, this is Li Shimin's problem The crown prince can take this opportunity to directly call Li Shimin to reprimand him and hold Li Shimin accountable."
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid this is not good."
Li Shen said: "His Royal Highness still has a heart of benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and he also cares about brotherhood. However, sinceFrom the day Shimin participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, Li Shimin had already given up his brotherhood. "
"If Li Shimin still cares about brotherhood and thinks he is the prince's younger brother, will he participate in the fight for the heir?"
"Will not!"
"Prince, Li Shimin is unkind first, so I can't blame you for being unrighteous."
Li Shentong bewitched: "So Li Shimin asked for everything at the moment. If the prince is merciful, he might as well resign from the position of prince early and give everything to Li Shimin. .¡±
brush!
Li Jiancheng's expression changed again and again.
The expression on his face completely changed.
Li Shentong continued to bewitch: "Speaking of which, I am also aware of the prince's concerns. I think it is inappropriate to reprimand Li Shimin who has just made meritorious service. But no matter what, he must be reprimanded."
"Because after this reprimand, we can use an excuse to keep Li Shimin's army in Quzhou County completely, and His Royal Highness will send troops to continue to cover up and chase Liu Heitai."
"After the previous battle of Mingshui County and the current battle of Quzhou County, Liu Heita's strength has been weakened. Now pursuing the victory is enough to win."
Li Shendao: "Under the current premise, it is possible to win without Li Shimin's army."
"Prince, this time to crusade against Liu Heita, I am willing to lead the army to fight, mobilize all parties to completely encircle and suppress Liu Heita. As long as this victory is won and the prince has made outstanding achievements, then his position in the court will be unshakable." .¡±
"Prince, don't miss this opportunity!"
Li Shentong shouted: "Once the current opportunity is lost, there will be no chance."
Li Jiancheng's expression began to waver.
Li Yuanji echoed: "Brother, I agree with the analysis of King Huai'an. In order to completely suppress King Qin's lineage, we must try. As for the others, we will ignore it for the time being."
"OK!"
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
He made a decision in his heart, and ordered: "In this case, let's wait for a while. When Li Shimin stabilizes the situation in Quzhou County, he will immediately arrange someone to call Li Shimin to reprimand him."
"The prince is wise!"
Li Shentong and Li Yuanji both heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and they answered in unison.
For the two of them, this is a good thing.
As long as Li Shimin is suppressed and Li Jiancheng's position is stable, they, as people who support Li Jiancheng, will have more opportunities and gain more benefits. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
