There is no need to say that Li Laoer is talented in fighting. The big gangster Xue Ju has 100,000 troops, but he was blocked by Li Laoer with 40,000 people in Zhecheng City. The two sides have been facing off for more than a month. Xue Ju can fight, but he doesn’t have the brains of Li Laoer.
The second is good, but the attack will not be successful. Li Laoer is trapped in the strength of his troops and can only temporarily block Xue Ju's footsteps.
Of course, there are more important reasons.
"Your Majesty, Liu Changshi urges us to defeat the enemy as soon as possible." Sima Yin Kaishan reported to Li Shimin.
"Destroy the enemy as soon as possible?" Sun Wuji, the commander of the army, sneered: "If you want to defeat Xue Ju, it is not as simple as sitting in the rear and commanding. Let him come to the front and give it a try!"
He was so angry that the people who were beaten to death were the people from Prince Qin's Palace and the Eighth General Manager. Liu Wenjing was better off, sitting directly in the rear area to escort the grain and fodder, and often gesticulated on their marching and formation. No one could tolerate this.
"Wuji." Li Shimin glanced at him and told him to shut up. No matter how annoying Liu Wenjing was, she was still the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and now she was the marshal and commander of the army. They were not someone they could discuss behind their backs casually.
After all, Changsun Wuji was the eldest brother-in-law. He was very considerate to his brother-in-law and did not continue to complain. He just pursed his lips and sulked alone.
Li Shimin analyzed: "Xue Ju went deep alone and was short of food and grass. We waited for work. As long as we waited for his food and fodder to be cut off, we could defeat him in one fell swoop. It is not appropriate to send troops now, which is in line with Xue Ju's wishes."
Yin Kaishan hesitated and said: "But how can Liu Changshi reply to him?"
Hearing this, the tent suddenly became quiet.
Li Shimin lowered his head in thought and unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes. In fact, he knew that Liu Wenjing could not bring him any help. Just like his idiot brother Li Yuanji, he would only hinder him from behind.
However, he couldn't say anything, because this was all Lao Li's arrangement. I don't know what Aye was thinking. He thought Xue Ju was easy to bully, so he added two wastes to his side and made his game more difficult?
Fang Qiao and Yu Zhining looked at each other, and the former said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be dragged on like this. Two days ago, King Qi and Liu Changshi ignored military orders and attacked Zheqi City, which resulted in the loss of troops and generals, and a great loss of morale.
.If this continues, it will be difficult for us to defeat Xue Ju. Once Jingzhou is lost, Chang'an will be in danger."
"Then what do you think we should do?" There was an unusual meaning in Li Shimin's eyes. It was not asking, but confirming something.
Fang Qiao said: "When marching and fighting, you must not be kind to women, otherwise you will harm others and yourself. Your Majesty has a heavy burden. If you make any mistake, the sage will be angry. Don't take it lightly."
Everyone in the tent focused their attention on Fang Qiao, who continued: "His Royal Highness King Qi is so confident, the king might as well let His Highness King Qi take charge of the army."
"Absurd." Changsun Wuji felt that Fang Qiao was joking. As for Li Yuanji, that idiot, it took several high-level players to make him guard Taiyuan, but Liu Wuzhou could beat the shit out of him, let alone the big gangster Xue Ju.
"You are joking with the lives of the soldiers of Prince Qin's palace, and even more with the king's future! I don't agree!"
Changsun Wuji immediately refuted + refused.
Li Shimin did not speak, but there was doubt in his eyes. He felt that this was not an idea that Fang Qiao could come up with.
"Don't be anxious, wait until I finish what I have to say." Fang Qiao said: "If the king continues to stay in the army, he will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, I humbly suggest that the king should retreat in order to advance and give in first."
"Give a step?" Li Shimin's eyes condensed slightly.
"The King of Qin is suffering from malaria and has returned to Chang'an."
Malaria is a combination of chills and high fever, caused by mosquito bites, and its external manifestations are "swinging".
"Malaria? When did it happen?" Liu Wenjing looked at her younger brother Liu Wenqi with a confused look on her face.
How could Li Shimin suddenly become ill and leave so fast?
Liu Wenqi said: "The news came yesterday that King Qin was seriously ill and could no longer afford to delay. Changsun Wuji had already returned to Chang'an with King Qin."
"What about the affairs in the army?"
"The King of Qin asked you and His Highness the King of Qi to take charge."
Liu Wenjing immediately realized something was wrong and struck the table three times with her palms.
"cunning!"
"What did brother say?"
"Uh, it's nothing." Liu Wenjing waved her hands, her expression not very good.
Liu Wenqi said excitedly: "Brother, King Qi is in charge of military affairs with you. If we can defeat Xue Ju, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
Are you stupid? If I could defeat Xue Ju, would I let Li Shimin come over?
Liu Wenjing didn't bother to correct his younger brother's idiocy. Li Shimin left so fast that he didn't even have time to prepare. Now he has to cooperate with Li Yuanji. It's scary to think about it.
Of course, although Li Shimin left in a hurry, he did not leave anything behind. He told Li Yuanji not to rush into battle, but as long as he continued to hold on, he would defeat Xue Ju.
However, Li Yuanji felt that his second brother looked down on him.
You've already left, why are you talking nonsense, I can't win the war without you?
Fortunately, Li Shimin was not present at the time, otherwise he would have been so angry that his flaws would have been exposed.
Liu Wenjing didn't have a good impression of Li Yuanji. He was very aware of the bad reputation of His Highness Prince Qi. Some time ago, he was still mocking Xiao Yu in his mind for having such a shabby grandson-in-law, Prince Qi.
But now, he couldn't laugh anymore. Sometimes he would inevitably think that if he had pushed King Chu to come over at that time, he would not be so passive now.
The King of Chu is always more reliable than the King of Qi.
On the fourth day after Li Shimin left, Li Yuanji couldn't help but have a tough fight with Xue Ju.
Qu Tutong said: "Your Majesty, Xue has strengthened his troops and horses just because he wants us to fight with them. It is not appropriate to use troops at this time. We should obey the order of King Qin and hold on."
At present, he is responsible for the peripheral defense. With his eyes, he can naturally see Xue Ju's urgency for a decisive battle.
Therefore, they can never let Xue Ju get what he wants.
King of Qin King of Qin is also King of Qin. Without King of Qin, I would not be able to win the war?
This is what Li Yuanji dislikes most about Li Shimin. It seems that Li Shimin is omnipotent, and he, Li Yuanji, is not worthy of trust.
When Mr. Dou abandoned him, he loved Li Shimin the most, which left him with a huge gap in his heart. When he grew up, Li Shimin was so bright, which made him even more unhappy.
"General Manager Qu Tu, Xue Ju is no more than an ordinary person. As soon as our army of the Tang Dynasty comes out, Xue Ju will be given the title of leader."
When you say this, I think we are the ones who conferred the title. Qu Tutong lamented in his heart, this King of Qi obviously doesn't understand military strategy. How can he fight a decisive battle with the highly motivated Western Qin army at this time? Isn't this a joke?
But he was a former company employee who surrendered, and he couldn't argue with the boss, so he could only keep silent.
Liu Wenjing also felt that we couldn't fight at this time, so she persuaded Li Yuanji, "Your Highness, it's better to wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for? The opportunity to fight is fleeting. Can you afford to miss the opportunity to defeat Western Qin!"
Compared with this, we cannot bear the responsibility for the defeat! Liu Wenjing said: "Your Highness, the situation now belongs to us and we cannot tamper with it. Have you forgotten the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yin Kaishan, who had been silent for a long time, flashed his eyes and said: "Actually, we have a chance to attack now. If Xue Ju knew the news about His Highness King Qin's illness, he would definitely despise us, and the arrogant army would be defeated. How could Xue Ju move his troops if he was careless?
Undefeated?"
Grass!
Named Yin, who the hell do you belong to!
Liu Wenjing suddenly felt bad. Before he could speak, Li Yuanji ordered, "Okay, that's it, we'll attack Xue Ju tomorrow!"
Although Yin Kaishan's words made him uncomfortable, Li Yuanji didn't care so much at this time because he could attack Xue Ju.
