As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the generals in the tent suddenly became confused, and looked at Li Shimin with puzzled expressions.

Feeling the confused eyes of everyone, Li Shimin smiled slightly and explained: "In addition to provoking infighting in Luoyang, the task that Gu Yuan gave to the auxiliary machine was to protect Wang Xuanying and make Luoyang a situation of confrontation between the two parties. It's a pity that in the end, the Sui army made a good move, saw through the plan of the auxiliary machine, eliminated Wang Xuanying in one fell swoop, and occupied Luoyang City. Luoyang City is high and deep, and if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so Gu plans to let Wang Shichong go back to give the Sui army a headache. ”

Li Jilong whispered: "In that case, then why don't we just let Wang Shichong return to the south, take Hongnong City first, and then steadily advance to Luoyang?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "According to the information from Luoyang, the Tiger Prison guard seems to be Wang Shichong's confidant, and after the Luoyang Incident, he did not surrender to the Sui army, but continued to be loyal to Wang Shichong. At this time, if we let Wang Shichong lead the main force back to Luoyang, I am afraid that with Wang Shichong's background in Luoyang, he will quickly repel the Sui army and regain the power of Luoyang, and then we will still face Luoyang Jiancheng. ”

"So this time our purpose is to defeat Wang Shichong, so that his strength is on a par with the strength of the Sui army in Luoyang City. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of our attack on Luoyang in the future! ”

All the generals in the tent replied: "King Qin is high, and the last general admires!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and ordered in a loud voice: "Without further ado, all the soldiers, go to the battlefield with Gu to make contributions!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Shortly after Li Shimin led the main army out of the camp, Li Yuanji led thousands of soldiers and horses to the Tang army camp in a slow manner.

Li Yuanji couldn't stand the cold because he camped in the wilderness before, so he sneaked back to Tongguan for the winter. This behavior naturally aroused Li Yuan's dissatisfaction, and under Li Yuan's repeated urging, Li Yuanji saw that the climate had become warmer, so he reluctantly left Tongguan and came to Hongnong's camp.

Although Li Yuanji ran back to Tongguan for the winter, he still left a few henchmen in the army, more precisely, it should be the confidants of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

After these henchmen heard of Li Yuanji's arrival, they immediately reported the details of Li Shimin's military meeting to Li Yuanji.

"What? Let Wang Shichong's old thief have a way to live? What did he have in mind? ”

Li Yuanji's eyes widened, and he roared sharply: "Wang Shichong's old thief has repeatedly opposed my Tang Dynasty in the past few years, such a thief should have been cut with a thousand knives a long time ago, how can he be let live?" ”

Several henchmen hurriedly recounted Li Shimin's reasons in the military tent to Li Yuanji, and added a sentence when he came: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I also think that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is reasonable, and it is indeed beneficial for us to leave Wang Shichong!" ”

"Fart, you've all been cheated by that guy!"

Li Yuanji snorted disdainfully: "That person is scheming, I think he let Wang Shichong go back is obviously to raise his own respect, give him time to win over and buy the generals in the army, and finally turn the 150,000 army into his Qin Palace's private soldiers." His ultimate goal is not Luoyang City at all, but the position of the eldest brother's crown prince! ”

"S-"

Several henchmen gasped when they heard this, and asked in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness King Qi, what should we do?" ”

"I, Li Yuanji, have always been the head of the eldest brother, so naturally I can't let that person get his wish!"

Li Yuanji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said to Li Guiren, a close general beside him: "Li Guiren, pass the order, and the army will immediately change the route and rush to Cijian, and Wang Shichong must not be allowed to return to Luoyang alive." ”

Li Guiren, who is eight feet tall, has a mouth full of stubble, and looks fierce and vicious, arched his hand on the side and responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

In a dense forest on the east bank of Cijian, Wang Shichong was fully draped, his eyes slightly closed, and he sat under a big tree like an old monk. The generals Wang Yanzhang and Shan Xiongxin were also heavily armed, holding blades to guard Wang Shichong's left and right. However, they were not as calm as Wang Shichong, and they kept looking anxiously into the distance.

Wang Shichong may have noticed the restlessness of the two, suddenly raised his eyelids and glanced at the two, and said lightly: "Yanzhang, Xiongxin, you two don't need to be so anxious. He will always come, so you should rest well and prepare for the next big battle. The key to whether you can turn defeat into victory this time lies in you! ”

Wang Yanzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, my nephew really doesn't have a good attitude like you, and he really can't calm down at this time!" ”

Shan Xiongxin also nodded and said, "Yes, lord!" This plan is too risky, in case Li Shimin does not personally lead the army to chase or he is in the rear of the chasing army, in case Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng on the west bank of Cijian can't stop the follow-up main force of the Tang army, our plan will collapse completely! ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said in a deep voice: "Now I have no other way, Li Shimin will never let me return to the south." So I can only take a gamble and see if the destiny is on me? ”

Boom Boom Boom !!

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the west suddenly became louder, and thousands of elite Tang troops galloped their horses, trampled to dust, crossed the stream like the wind, and galloped towards the south. Riding a black horse, holding a horse lance in his hand, and a steel whip hanging from his waist, Yu Chigong was the first to appear in the sight of Wang Shichong and others.

Shan Xiongxin's eyes were sharp, and he saw Yu Chigong first, and said with some excitement: "Yu Chigong, it's Yu Chigong!" He is Li Shimin's personal guard general, and Li Shimin must have come when he comes. Lord, this is really blessed by the heavens. Hurry up and give the order to attack, the last general will definitely take off Li Shimin's head this time and dedicate it to the lord! ”

Wang Shichong's city was very deep, although he was also very excited after seeing Wei Chigong, he still forcibly pressed the impulse in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Wait, it's not too late for Li Shimin to show up!" ”

As soon as Wang Shichong's voice fell, Wang Yanzhang on the side suddenly pointed to a military general (Li Siyuan) surrounded by dozens of cavalry in the Tang army and said: "Uncle, Xiongxin, look there, is that person Li Shimin?" ”

Shan Xiongxin immediately narrowed his eyes when he heard this, looked in the direction pointed by Wang Yanzhang, and only turned around after a long time and said to Wang Shichong: "Lord, this Li Shimin is not Wei Chigong, that big black man has obvious characteristics and rushes to the forefront, and he can be recognized at a glance." That person was too far away from me and was blocked, and the last general really couldn't see his face clearly, but looking at his body shape and dress, he did look a little like Li Shimin. ”

"Then we can only pray for him!"

When Wang Shichong heard this, he immediately made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Order all the troops to attack immediately and capture Li Shimin alive!" ”
