Because the Ning family promised to hand over Cen Mingxiu, Li Shimin did not kill anyone again in the next five days and waited until Su Lie came back.
"Dingfang will stay in the city. I will lead an army myself and go out to show off." Li Shimin began to put on his armor.
Su Lie frowned and said, "This is my first time for my consort to go on an expedition with the army. It's better not to take risks and let me go."
Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. There is no first time, no second time. I judge that Cen Mingxiu is waiting and watching. Only if we have a direct conflict with Ning Chun's army can we force him to make a choice. If he is a
A smart person will lead his army south and attack Ning Chun with me."
"What if he doesn't come?" Yuchi Jingde asked curiously.
Li Shimin smiled: "Who would risk his own life? Now is Cen Mingxiu's best opportunity. If he can work with me to defeat Ning Chun, he will be guilty of meritorious service, and the benefits will be inevitable. If he doesn't come, he and the Ning family will
A wise man would not put himself in such a dangerous situation after breaking up and becoming an enemy of the imperial court. After all, he is also a rebel leader and cannot be any more stupid."
Su Lie nodded: "You still have to be careful. Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin, you must protect the safety of our consort."
They both nodded at the same time.
The next morning, Li Shimin personally led 1,200 people out of the city. He did have some martial arts skills, but not much. That is to say, his attainments in bow and arrow were very extraordinary, and his riding skills were naturally good. As a son of aristocratic family, there were plenty of opportunities.
Practice riding skills.
When Yang Ming first met Shimin, he had a simple wooden bow in his hand, which shows that Shimin has been interested in archery since he was a child.
After leaving the city, Li Shimin led the cavalry directly towards the camp outside the city, catching the unprepared uncle and nephew Ning Chun by surprise.
What does this kid want to do? Why does he act unexpectedly every time?
After just charging and killing on the outside for a while, Li Shimin led the soldiers around the camp and shouted, saying that the Ning family was rebelling, and everyone would kill him. Those who killed Ning Chun would be rewarded with a hundred thousand coins.
After a brief psychological battle, Li Shimin returned home, and the Ning family did not dare to fight at all.
Ning Chun hurriedly sent another envoy to the city to ask about the situation, which song did you sing? Didn't we all discuss it? Why did we become rebels?
"It's been how many days, and there's still no movement from Cen Mingxiu's side?" Li Shimin asked the messenger Mo Chen.
Mo Chen said with an ugly face: "Let's not talk about Cen Mingxiu's matter. What did the prince-in-law mean this morning? He rushed into the battle and slandered our coach as a traitor. You have to give us an explanation."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "My people reported that there was no movement from Cen Mingxiu in the direction of Cangwu County. You are perfunctory with me. Since you can't hand over Cen Mingxiu, then I can only lure Cen Mingxiu to take the initiative to go south."
Mo Chen frowned and said: "What kind of seduction method? Just because the prince consort made trouble today, does it count as seduction?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I have a bad relationship with Prefect Ning and call you rebels. The real rebel Cen Mingxiu, what do you think he will think when he finds out? He is just your puppet. Now I declare to the outside world that the Ning family is the real rebel."
If he is a traitor, will he take this opportunity to attack the Ning family?"
Mo Chen swallowed subconsciously and was stunned.
They have actually received news that Cen Mingxiu has started a purge in the army, and all the generals of the Ning family have been controlled. It can be seen that Cen Mingxiu is gradually losing control and has become suspicious of the Ning family.
But Mo Chen would definitely not dare to tell Li Shimin about this matter, otherwise Li Shimin would definitely contact Cen Mingxiu privately, which would be extremely detrimental to them.
Mo Chen never expected that a young boy who had only been here for a short time could make them passive like this.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Li Shimin continued: "In the next few days, I will still be like today. It's a cruel trick. If you want to act, you should act more realistically. If Cen Mingxiu is deceived and goes south, we will attack together and wipe out the traitors in one fell swoop.
, bring my words to the two prefects."
What else could Mo Chen say? Being an envoy was considered a complete coward. He couldn't use his sharp tongue at all, and he was always being led by the other party's nose.
After the people left, Su Lie couldn't help but sigh: "Although I am young, I have won the hearts of the people. Now you have successfully made the Ning family and the Cen family suspicious of each other. We have the initiative in our hands. Let's see."
Are you dealing with the Ning family or Cen Mingxiu?"
Li Shimin laughed, clapped his legs and said:
"I learned this from the King of Qin. The King of Qin was taught the art of war by Lu Gong and Xiu Wu Gong, and summed up the two-character mantra. I deeply believe that before a war, it is called calculation, and after the war begins, it is called deception. A direct battle is never
first choice."
Lu Gong is Shi Wansui, and Xiu Wu Gong is Yang Yue. The two men's military tactics can be described as one strong and the other soft. Yang Rui studied under the two men, which can be regarded as a combination of hardness and softness.
Don't underestimate Yang Yue, he is no worse than Shi Wansui.
"I've learned a lesson," Su Dingfang smiled and nodded: "Then if Cen Mingxiu goes south, should we unite with Cen to fight against Ning, or with Ning to fight against Cen?"
Li Shimin said with a smile: "The Cen family only has one county in Yulin, and the Ning family has controlled Guizhou for generations. The former is not a problem, but the latter is a heart disease. The decision is clear, but you still want to ask me. I have won the peace and prosperity."
The way to the same world."
Su Lie smiled and didn't say anything else. No wonder the prince asked this boy to read to the prince. He was really awesome. The prince's vision was really vicious.
In the next few days, Li Shimin will lead his troops out to call for formation every day. Ning Chun will also send some people to show off. A small number of casualties does not matter, as long as he can lure the big fish Cen Mingxiu over.
.
Ning Chun's uncle and nephew are now very worried about Cen Mingxiu. The envoy sent to contact the other party has returned. Cen Mingxiu said that he could not escape. If he had any arrangements, he would just send a secret envoy to send him a message.
Ning Chun felt something was wrong at that time, because Cen Mingxiu was his old subordinate and had obeyed him in the past. Now he was leading the army alone. He had become powerful and was gradually losing control.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Due to both emotions and reasons, Ning Chun plans to get rid of Cen Mingxiu and support another puppet. Cen Mingxiu is no longer trustworthy.
So he sent a secret envoy to inform Cen Mingxiu that he planned to recapture Qinjiang City with all his strength and asked Cen Mingxiu to send troops to help.
Cen Mingxiu did come, and personally led 30,000 people south, straight to the Ning family's camp.
After receiving the news, Li Shimin personally led two thousand elite cavalry and hid in the woods ten miles north of the county. He made an appointment with the Ning family. The Ning family was responsible for carrying the troops in front, and he was responsible for ambushing Cen Mingxiu's Chinese army.
The Ning family reorganized their troops and formed a formation towards the north, preparing to catch Cen Mingxiu off guard. As it turned out, Cen Mingxiu's family was well prepared, and as soon as the two armies came into contact, it would be an all-out war.
Lingnan was originally the place most likely to cause internal strife in the entire Sui Dynasty. Tribes often fought and killed each other. If Mrs.
Fight.
Originally, everything was within Li Shimin's plan, but God's calculations were not as good as those of man. He did not expect that the army from the direction of Guangzhou would arrive so quickly.
I don't know who is leading the army on the other side, but almost 20,000 troops have entered Ningyue County in a mighty manner.
Originally preparing a pot of rice, but now there was another person eating, Li Shimin did not panic at all. After a short silence, he led the army directly towards the direction of the Guangzhou Army.
Ning Chun and Cen Mingxiu, let them fight first. The army coming from Guangzhou is an unstable factor and must be suppressed first.
Two thousand cavalry troops were arrayed on a plain, and their military power was extremely majestic.
The best guards, the best equipment, the best horses, and one of the best commanders in history. Therefore, one cannot judge his combat effectiveness by the number of people.
When the distant army approached, Li Shimin, with only Su Dingfang and Yuchi Jingde, rode away from the formation and did not stop until they were close to the range of the bow and arrow.
Obviously just wanting to meet Li Shimin, the other team's coach Tan Rong also rode out with several of his men to meet with Li Shimin.
"The emblem of your Excellency should come from the Left and Right Beishen Mansion. Do you know the young general's surname?" Tan Rong said very politely.
The men and horses on both sides were doing shady things. The military flags showing their military numbers were hidden, and no one could figure out where the other side came from.
But when Tan Rong got closer, he saw the emblem on the shoulders of Li Shimin and the other three, the black tiger head, because the left and right Preparatory Offices were a new addition after the military government was restructured, and their nature was the same as the Tiger Guard Army of the Han Dynasty.
Yes, so the emblem is a tiger head.
Li Shimin asked: "Where are you from? Are you from Feng Ang?"
Tan Rong smiled, and it was not convenient for him to answer honestly, so he asked: "What are you doing here in the Prefecture of Prefecture?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Of course we have put down the rebellion. About twenty miles away from here, the two prefects Ning Chun and Ning Daoming have already fought with the rebel Cen Mingxiu. If you are from Feng Ang, go and help put down the rebellion. If not
, just get out of here."
So am I? Tan Rong couldn’t make up his mind at the moment:
"How the war is going ahead cannot be based solely on the general's words. I have to send scouts to find out. If it is true, the general will make his own decision."
"Please!" Li Shimin raised his head, indicating that the other party could send someone over to investigate.
Tan Rong bowed his hands, turned his horse's head, returned to the main army, sent dozens of spies, bypassed Li Shimin's defense line, and headed towards Qinjiang County.
"This is a mess. Our original intention was to clean up the Ning family. Once the Feng family arrives, something will happen to Cen Mingxiu. What should we do?" Su Lie sat on the horse and asked with a frown.
Li Shimin smiled: "Don't worry, these people won't interfere. They will see the Ning and Cen families fighting, but they won't know why. They will never use troops rashly when the situation is unclear. I
Guess he will play dumb and withdraw his troops."
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Tan Rong came over to meet Li Shimin again and said:
"The numbers of the armies on both sides have not been seen. I cannot listen to the words of the young general and his family, so I believe that the Ning family is fighting the rebels. Since the Bei Shen Mansion is here, there is no need for me to interfere. I will lead the army to retreat fifty miles and make further details.
Watch.”
Li Shimin nodded: "Then get out."
Tan Rong was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Young general, are you always so rude when you speak?"
Li Shimin spurred his horse and turned around, turning around and saying, "Have you ever seen Beishen Mansion? Do you know how to talk to people politely? Come on!"
After that, Li Shimin rode away.
Tan Rong narrowed his eyes, looked at the other person's leaving figure, and thought to himself: This guy is so arrogant, he must have someone to rely on. I am afraid that the imperial army will gather nearby, so I'd better just sit back and watch, otherwise if I am not careful, I will be full of people.
All bets are lost.
The Ning family can’t even take care of Cen Mingxiu, right?
