    Nancheng, the Tang Army's camp, and the Chinese Army's commander's tent.  Li Shimin frowned deeply and sat behind the handsome case, but the big tent was filled with a relaxed and optimistic mood. Today was the first time in the past two months that Li Shimin's Hulao Pass Rangers had come back to meet with our troops after they defeated the Xia Army.  Li Yuanji's left-behind troops on the other side met. The generals and colonels who had not seen each other in the past two months were chatting with each other one after another, smiling and boasting about the achievements and military exploits the other party had achieved during this period. This was so different from Li Shimin's current expression.  The ground is inconsistent.  Li Yuanji had just laughed and chatted with Li Shiji for a while. Both of them noticed Li Shimin's attitude, and the smiles gradually dissipated from their faces. Li Yuanji coughed dryly, which made the surrounding generals gradually calm down and retreat.  From his position, he only heard Li Yuanji say: "Second brother, it's lucky that you guys arrived in time today, otherwise, Wang Laoxie's attack last night would have been really difficult to deal with. Maybe he'd be beaten twice more."  God, our siege will be solved." Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji and finally said: "Silang, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Huaqiang Army in the city? If I don't come back this time, do you have the confidence to defend it?  Surround?" Li Yuanji's expression changed slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, let me tell you the truth. In the past two months, Wang Shichong has made several tentative attacks out of the city, but the scale was not large.  , in my opinion, he thought you were leading the army away in front of him, but instead you laid an ambush nearby, just to lure him to attack. Therefore, every time there was a brief battle, once our army launched a mobile cavalry counterattack, they  " But in this attack last night, they made a desperate move and deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Our army's camp in Nancheng was almost destroyed. If it weren't for Zheng Guocang City as a support, I'm afraid they would really have to do it.  He broke the siege. The Huaqiang army who came out of the city to fight back was very fierce and had high morale. It was different from the militiamen who could not even stand at the top of the city. Obviously, they were not out of food. " Li Shimin.  His brows gradually knitted together and he nodded: "That's it. Different from the illusions we have seen before, Wang Laoxie's subordinates still have very fierce fighting power. So, tomorrow he wants to open the city and fight with  We are really not unsure about our decisive battle." Li Yuanji curled his lips in disdain: "If he had gone out of the city to fight in the absence of his second brother, he might have been able to win. After all, our forces were scattered at the time and we had to be divided.  Surrounding the four cities and giving him a small attack would be difficult to defend. But now that the second brother's main force has returned to support, he has just wiped out all the Xia army, and his morale is very good. At this time, he wants to open up and fight with us. How can he succeed?  Qu Tutong curled up his lips and said, "Commander, could it be that Wang Shichong thought that we had just experienced a war, the troops had suffered casualties, and they were tired after rushing back from Hulao, so it was possible to win?"  " Li Shiji shook his head and said: "We have been holding on for more than a month in Hulao. Even the battle a few days ago only lasted less than half a day. In most cases, it was a pursuit battle. Xia Jun  It can be said that it was defeated at the first touch, and it was not a hard battle. His Highness King Qin was afraid that the forced march would tire the soldiers, so he came at a normal marching speed, so he walked for three days to get here. Now the morale of the whole army is high and the physical condition is also very good.  "There is no such thing as fatigue, and General Qu Tu's worries are unnecessary." Li Shimin looked at Feng Lun, who was standing silently, and suddenly laughed: "Feng Zhongshu, I didn't listen to you last time.  It is suggested that there will be a great victory in Hulao. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake even if he thinks a lot.  " Feng Lun's old face blushed slightly, and he turned to thank you: "The old minister's poor thinking made the commander laugh.  Li Shimin's eyes were shining brightly: "The military discussion is about everyone expressing their opinions, and all aspects must be considered. There is no way to say that it is not well thought out. Feng Zhongshu, this time I still hope that you can make more plans."  In your opinion, what is Wang Shichong¡¯s plan for doing this?  Feng Lun curled up his lips and said, "Soldiers are deceitful, and deception is the best."  If you can, show that you can't; if you can't, show that you can.  In my opinion, Wang Shichong showed weakness to me by arranging exhausted soldiers and civilians on the city, in order to lure our army to attack the city. In the battle to defend the city, he relied on various sophisticated instruments to kill and wound our army in large numbers. But the real situation  , there is no possibility of fighting our army in the wild. At least, the certainty of defending the city is greater than that of fighting in the field.  " "But this time the King of Qin divided his troops to attack Hulao. Within two months, Wang Shichong should be able to judge that the King of Qin was really not here, but had gone elsewhere. Although he was surrounded in the city, there were no communications such as flying eagles' messages.  There should still be a way, so he didn't know anything about our battle situation outside. Knowing that after the king defeated the Xia army, his foreign aid was cut off, so he had no choice but to break out of the city.  " Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Feng Zhongshu, what are you talking about, breaking out?  " Feng Lun nodded: "Yes, Wang Shichong is basically?Don't expect a decisive battle. Dou Jiande is finished. The only people in the world who can save him are Li Jing and his family. So what he can really do is to open a channel and get in touch with Li Jing. If necessary, he can even break out of the encirclement in person, or  Let the prince break out of the encirclement and go to Li Jing's place.  " Li Shiji nodded thoughtfully and said: "But if according to what the letter said, then Wang Shichong's raid the night before yesterday had the best chance. Why did he occupy our army's camp but not  Take the opportunity to fight.  Feng Lun laughed: "That's the problem with Wang Laoxie's character. Although he succeeded in the night raid, he couldn't see the battlefield clearly. Wang Shichong is a cunning and cunning veteran, and he was afraid of being ambushed. Besides, Cangcheng was still  In our hands, our army can still organize a counterattack, so Wang Shichong retreated after he succeeded. His purpose was not to break through our army's defense line at once, but to reconnoiter our army's situation, find out our layout, and then during the day  Attack head-on, directly penetrate the defense line, and complete the breakout. If not, why would he choose to fight in Nancheng instead of the open terrain of Beimeng Mountain?  " Li Shimin's eyes were shining: "But now that I have led my army here, will he still have a chance at this time? Why did he demand a decisive battle when he saw me coming?  " Feng Lun said with a smile: "I thought Wang Laoxie must have regretted not breaking out directly the day before. Now that he saw the king's army coming, he must have regretted it. His subordinates also felt desperate after seeing Dou Jiande defeated and captured.  , the purpose of saying a few harsh words at this time is to boost morale. This time Wang Shichong must have come out in front of everyone. The purpose is not to defeat us, but to break out of the encirclement with the whole army. The target is Jingxiang!  "
