Chapter 552: Under the Fortified City
Li Shimin has been dispatching troops for more than 20 days and has cleared all the periphery of Luoyang! Even the Tiger Prison Pass, which is known as the 'most difficult pass in the world,' has also been taken by him, and it seems that the capture of Luoyang will be just around the corner!
Seeing that the army surrounded Luoyang, Cheng Yanjin couldn't hold his breath, and immediately asked for battle: "His Royal Highness King Qin, please allow Lao Cheng to fight, if you can't take Luoyang City in three days, Lao Cheng will come to see him!"
"I only need two days, Your Highness, the last general is willing to make a military order!" Wei Chigong also hurriedly grabbed the credit.
Luo Shixin also immediately shouted: "Your Highness, I only need one day, and I can't take it in one day, so I'll come to see you!"
"Okay, you all go down! Haha, let's roast the whole sheep tonight, everyone has a share, wine, you can drink as you like! Xu Shiji, you do a good night patrol, Brother Shubao, you are responsible for the safety of the camp, we can't be attacked by Wang Shichong, or Meng Haigong, Zhu Can and others come to sneak attack!" Li Shimin obviously didn't want to attack.
When the generals heard this, they were all stunned, and they were speechless one by one: What happened to this King of Qin? In the past, after besieging the city, he immediately gave the opponent a horse, and attacked for a while! Today he is a little afraid of the enemy like a tiger!
But, who dares to ask him? Even Xu Shiji doesn't dare to ask!
Qin Shubao understood it, looked happy, and smiled! Because he was fortunate to participate in the meeting to formulate national policies, he was the only outsider except for the Li family!
Seeing this, Xu Shiji smiled, and quietly pulled him to ask, but Qin Shubao sighed and smiled: "Third brother, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will personally explain this matter to you! Haha, I don't dare to reveal the military aircraft! This is a military order, haha, we all have to abide by it, right? Okay, at the latest tomorrow night, King Qin will definitely discuss with us!"
Unexpectedly, it was only evening, and when Mengjing, Li Xuan, and the others had prepared the wine and food, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, invited him to a banquet, and it was just the three of them! Mengjing and Li Xuanyue were already on guard outside!
As soon as they met, Li Shimin smiled: "Shiji, you must be very puzzled, right? Do you think that Shubao and I are scared? Don't you dare to attack Luoyang?" After speaking, he already laughed at him.
"Yes, according to His Royal Highness's character, he would have already launched a thunderous momentum! The little Wang Shichong was able to hold it for three days, that is a miracle! Why don't we attack?" Xu Shiji hurriedly asked.
Li Shimin sighed, and then smiled: "Hehe, before, I must have done this! But this time, we are going to surround and send reinforcements, haha, we have to put Dou Jiande in and eliminate them together! This is the meaning of the county lords of Hanping and Ning'er, and the strategy that my father agreed to! We can't change it, otherwise, Xiaohan's side won't be fun!"
"Ah! Such a big chess game, can we eat Dou Jiande's 300,000 troops? I see that Meng Haigong and Zhu Can will come, can we digest such a huge enemy?" Li Shiji's face turned pale.
Qin Shubao smiled: "Haha, even the third brother imagines it like this, then Dou Jiande must also think so! There are also Meng Haigong and Zhu Can, they must think that they can make a great contribution in one battle and wipe out the elite of my Tang Dynasty! Hehe, Brother Hanping's idea is really bold, I feel more and more that this is the best strategy! King Qin, we can decide the world in one battle!"
"That's certain! Haha, it's good that Dou Jiande doesn't come out, if he dares to come out, hehe, the 300,000 army will be wiped out by my sister and brother-in-law! It's a pity, this time they will give this great achievement to His Royal Highness the Prince! This is our only loss! However, our contribution to Luoyang is not small! Shiji, tell our soldiers, this Wang Shichong will live!" Li Shimin, the king of Qin, hurriedly said.
Only then did Li Shiji come to his senses: It turned out that Luoyang was just a piece of bait, and the most important battle was to annihilate and aid the enemy!
He thought for a moment before he smiled: "King Qin, this plan is certainly big and magnificent, but can they wipe out the army of 300,000 Dou Jiande?
"Well, there may be 20,000 or 30,000! But if I look at Han'er and Ning'er's tactics, I will bring 3,000 light cavalry to battle at most! Brother Shubao, our 3,000 iron cavalry must also be prepared! Well, tomorrow, you and I will personally guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and here, General Shiji will preside over it! Shiji, remember, surround but not fight! This is a bait, and it cannot be eaten!" Li Shimin smiled proudly.
"Ah!" This time, even Qin Shubao was surprised: "Three thousand, can you get rid of Dou Jiande?"
Li Shiji's face was even pale, his eyes were like copper bells, and he couldn't speak for a long time!
Li Shimin smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, when they cut off Dou Jiande's grain and grass, these 300,000 people will be no different from 300 people! We only need to break Dou Jiande's Chinese army, haha, this should be a tofu-like victory! This kind of battle, only Han'er and Ning'er dare to fight, and I can't either!"
As he spoke, his face was already full of admiration, obviously, he even worshipped Xiao Han and Princess Taiping to the point of home!
Xu Shiji finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "In that case, then, let's do what a few highnesses want! It's just that they have decided to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Otherwise, how could they give such a great achievement to the crown prince?"
"Shiji, don't talk about it! They will remain neutral, for now, this is an inevitable thing, prince, as long as he is arrogant and wants to murder us, we can take action! Otherwise, the teacher will be unknown, understand?" Li Shimin smiled confidently.
This time, Qin Shubao was completely convinced of him, and smiled: "Yes, Your Highness is clever, I'm afraid this is also what those two Highnesses meant! I also believe that they are neutral, otherwise, whoever fights them will be humiliated! I asked myself if I couldn't take Brother Han's two tricks!"
"Alas, Brother Shubao, it would be nice if you could take a move! Okay, let's not talk about them, let's drink! Today we will drink happily, tomorrow, we will go to the Tiger Prison Pass to wait for Dou Jiande, we have the right time, place, and more people, and it is just a matter of raising your hand to destroy Dou Jiande! Haha, please! After a while, we will also go and drink with the soldiers! However, the achievements of the world, the military plane should not be leaked, otherwise, Meng Haigong and they will not come!" Li Shimin smiled.
Li Shiji admired their boldness more and more, and smiled: "Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, haha, it's just that they will be confused for a while this time, hehe!"
"Well, Brother Xiao Han said that we don't want to let them know about our big things! Biting Jin's mouth is hairless, and he speaks too straight, beware that he is too straight, forcing us to have no way out!" At this time, Qin Shubao suddenly thought of Xiao Han's words, and hurriedly reminded them, so as not to show his feet again.
Li Shimin smiled: "This Han'er, everything is very meticulous, and I might as well be at home! It seems that haha, I have never been his opponent! Fortunately, he doesn't want to treat me as an opponent, this is the greatest blessing in my life!" After speaking, he was already relieved.
Naturally, the two of them didn't know what he was talking about, they just laughed and agreed with his opinion!
When Li Shimin came out to toast, he unexpectedly saw Xiao Han, Princess Taiping, and of course, Lin Xuemei, Lin Ruoxi, and Pei Yingxue: Why did they come? Didn't they say that they wanted to cut off Dou Jiande's grain and grass?
Seeing that he was surprised, Princess Taiping took the lead in laughing: "Second brother, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass! Haha, he has nine hundred rides, and we ride one hundred, haha, are you welcome?"
"Ah!" Then Li Shiji looked surprised again: Didn't you say 3,000? Why, only a thousand soldiers and horses came?
"Hehe, girl, why don't we welcome you? Okay, girl, our food and wine are ready, come on! Eat and drink here, or in the camp?" Li Xuanyue was naturally happy when she saw them.
Xiao Han was happy, smiled, and immediately kissed her, and then he was happy: "Ancestor, let's drink here!" Sister Meng, Sister Yue, Sister Yao'er, continue to serve, let's drink, Brother Shimin and I are going to fight wine! Brother Yu, please!" After speaking, she had already taken the wine glass, and Lin Xuemei hurriedly poured wine for him.
"Brothers, let's drink together!" Xiao Han was refreshed, and immediately drank it all.
Li Shimin was even happier, and quickly drank it, and smiled: "Brothers, drink together!"
"King Xie Qin, Xie two highnesses!" The soldiers were suddenly happy, and they all smiled.
Cheng Yanjin came over to toast and smiled: "Brother Han, did you kid come to drink the wine of our Qin Palace? Hehe, what can you do with a thousand soldiers and horses?" Obviously, I can't look down on Xiao Han and them.
"Hmph, only you, Cheng Biting Jin, will mention the night pot to Brother King Qin! We, a thousand people went out of Henan and burned Dou Jiande's grain and grass seven times, and at present, he only has seven days of grain and grass! As long as we guard the Tiger Prison Pass, in ten days, we can destroy Dou Jiande's 300,000 army, how about it? Cheng Biting Jin, are you convinced?" Princess Taiping sneered.
"Ah!" When everyone heard this, they were all speechless in shock, and stared at them tightly: really, fakely, with a thousand people, and the 300,000 army that destroyed Dou Jiande?
"Ah, didn't I hear me wrong? Are you saying that 1,000 of you are going to destroy the army of 300,000 Great Xia?" Cheng Biting Jin's mouth was already open enough to stuff a pig's head.
Lin Xuemei smiled contemptuously and was happy: "Even you kid, I'm afraid that you won't be able to beat Dou Jiande even if you give you 500,000 people!
Li Shiji was also shocked and sweated, and then hurriedly asked them: "Two highnesses, princesses, how did you destroy these 300,000 horses?"
"Stupid, you are still the number of leading troops in this dynasty, didn't we say it? cut off their grain and grass, they only have seven days' food! Dou Jiande only has one way to conquer the Tiger Prison Pass, otherwise, we will starve to death!" Princess Taiping smiled proudly.
Li Shiji smiled slightly, but immediately retorted: "Won't he withdraw from the army? As soon as he retreats, won't your plan be over? In this case, how can you destroy him?"
"In other words, you are Dou Jiande, you are only twenty miles away from Luoyang, you have an army of 300,000, and the other party has a maximum of 5,000 soldiers and horses, will you retreat? Well, you really think you have arrived home, Li Shiji, study hard!" Princess Taiping continued to swagger.
When Li Shiji heard this, he couldn't help but think: Yes, he has 300,000 and the other party has 5,000, can he withdraw from the army? It seems that they have already penetrated into Dou Jiande's heart, and they can even clearly calculate what he is thinking! I am afraid that he is Dou Jiande, and he will also take a risk, otherwise, what face will he have to meet the heroes of the world?
Then, he completely surrendered, smiled, and hurriedly came over to toast: "Haha, the two highnesses are really far-sighted, and the slaves admire, haha, Lord Ning is really a genius, and the slaves are not as good as them!"
He actually called himself a slave, and now, even Cheng bit the gold and couldn't understand: "Shiji, we are the last generals, not slaves, what are you doing this old boy?"
"Hehe, what do you kid know? Being able to be a slave in front of Lord Ning and General Han and learn a few tricks is the blessing of this general! Haha, the last general understands, all the slaves obey the command of the three highnesses!" Li Shiji became more pious.
Only then did Li Shimin understand his intentions, it turned out that he wanted to pull Han'er and Princess Taiping here, and smiled proudly!
