He was hated and shocked in his heart, and on the surface, he pretended to be affectionate: "Third brother, I didn't expect your Qin Wangjun to develop so strongly." ”

Li Shimin laughed.

When they came to the barracks with the army, they saw that the white military tents were dense everywhere like blisters, and after they left first, they developed very well.

Li Jiancheng said proudly: "The Li family's army has just come out of Bayan Mountain, and the people are looking forward to the wind, and the strength of our army has now exceeded 30,000 people. ”

While talking, the group came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After sitting down, Li Jiancheng immediately said: "Father, the third brother has just come to the Li family, and I suggest that they go to burn the grain and grass of the Yuwen family. It's a no-brainer. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay." "It looks like a good old gentleman.

Xia Yu felt that this matter would definitely not be so simple, and Li Jiancheng suddenly thought of his brotherly affection.

For a while, I couldn't think of anything greasy in it.

So he asked rhetorically: "It stands to reason that the enemy's grain and grass are all under the care of the heavy army, if it is simple, why didn't Brother Li order the enemy to burn the grain and grass first?" ”

Li Jiancheng's expression froze.

"Let you go, it's General Li who misses brotherhood and doesn't want the third prince to be too tired, why are you so ignorant?" Tian Chong shouted.

Samurai Xun: "If you suspect that the eldest prince has a plan, you don't want to go." ”

"That is, no one is begging you to go. If you don't throw yourself into the frontal battlefield, I'll ask, if you only have less than 2,000 people, you can be swallowed up by the Sui army in an instant. ”

The group of people talked and wrote one after another, and they were very dissatisfied with the questions raised by Xia Yu.

Li Shimin relieved the siege and said: "General Xia just raised a question, and didn't say that we won't go, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't speak, everyone was like winning a battle for a while, so that Xia Yu can usually walk on tiptoes, but now there is nothing to say.

Li Yuan asked Xia Yu: "Nephew Xia Shi, do you have any other ideas?" ”

quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and it was really as Wu Shixun said, Qin Wangjun's entry into the frontal battlefield was really not enough to see.

When he agreed, he said: "Qin Wangjun should go and burn the enemy's grain and grass." ”

The day was rested for a day, and the next day Li Shimin said with Xia Yu: "General Xia, you and I will go to see the situation." ”

The two of them came to the hill to the west to see that an army was stationed on the west side of Huoyi City, which was well-equipped and would not leave the hoarded grain and straw stacks.

Although there were only more than 2,000 people, which was the same number as the Qin Wang's army, if they really had to fight, they would both hurt each other.

Li Jiancheng's sinister intentions have been clearly revealed, that is, to let the two armies fight each other and lose the strength of the Qin Wang's army.

On the way back, Li Shimin was still worried that Li Yuan would suffer a loss to the Yuwen family, the first largest family at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so he ordered a quick march.

Unexpectedly, after coming back, they would immediately fall into Li Jiancheng's calculations, and if they went back now to report to Li Yuan that they were afraid that they would not be able to do it.

Li Yuan must be very disappointed in him.

"General Xia, what can you do?"

Xia Yu said: "We will burn grain and grass tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it today." ”

"In Luo's opinion, I'm afraid this matter will not work, the Sui army guards the grain and grass, and it has always been difficult to succeed in burning grain and grass! Because everyone knows the truth that before the soldiers and horses move, grain and grass go first, and grain and grass are the foundation of the army. Luo Yu expressed his opinion worriedly.

"Otherwise, it's safer to burn grain and grass at night. We still lead the team to burn grain and grass at night! Cheng bites Jin Dao.

"In broad daylight, maybe as soon as we move, the enemy will send troops to reinforce this side, and we have no chance at all, not nine deaths, but ten deaths." Su Xun is not optimistic either.

Xia Yu said mysteriously: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, you don't have to pay attention to them." ”

Seeing Xia Yu's confident appearance, the four of them felt a little relieved.

In the evening, Pei Lian, who was the supervising army, came to the camp of the Qin Wangjun again: "Third prince, the old man thought that you would take action today, but he didn't think that you would stand still. Li Gong has been worried about the war recently, and you can also see that his mouth has a blister. ”

The implication is to urge Li Shimin to march quickly.

Li Shimin said unhappily: "Our Qin Wangjun has our own plans, it seems that Pei Xing can't supervise our Qin Wangjun." ”

"That's, that's. I'm just here to chat, even if it's Qin Wangjun, the third prince is also the biological son of Duke Li, isn't it? ”

Li Shimin picked up the tea: "The tea is cold." "Meant to send off guests.

Pei walked out of the barracks in a daze.

The next day, early in the morning, Luo Yu and the three of them were ready to burn grain and grass, and ordered Qin Wangjun to bury the stove early to cook.

After eating, Xia Yu hadn't gotten up yet.

Just happened to meet Li Shimin, Luo Yu stepped forward: "Third prince, we originally said that we would burn grain and grass today, why can't General Xia get up?" ”

Li Shimin was also puzzled, and several people came to Xia Yu's military tent, and Xia Yu was still asleep.

"General Xia, it's already two o'clock in the morning, didn't we say that we would burn grain and grass today?"

Xia Yu turned over: "Let me sleep for a while, it's still early, and when the Yuwen family and the Li family fight, call me again." ”

A few people came out of the military tent and sighed, or they should go to burn grain and grass first.

Fortunately, Li Shimin stopped them in time and said solemnly: "If General Xia doesn't get up, we won't act rashly." ”

The three of them had no choice but to do it, and ran to King Qin's army to let the sergeants sharpen their knives first and prepare first.

Li Shimin had just been idle for a while, Li Jiancheng came again, and when he came up, he asked: "Third brother, are you not satisfied with the task assigned by your brother, so you haven't moved for a long time." ”

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Big brother, what are you talking about, we will take action today." Please don't worry, second brother. ”

Xia Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes at this time, walked out of the camp tent, and just saw Li Jiancheng come to ask, and said unhappily: "Brother Li, it seems that Qin Wangjun does not belong to your jurisdiction, right?" We agreed to burn grain and grass, and we will not break our promise, you can rest assured, before this afternoon, there will definitely be no grain and grass left in the Yuwen family. ”

"Is that true?"

"It's true, but let's say that after the grain and grass are burned, the grain and grass of the Li family army will be guarded by us, and they will not go to the front line."

Li Jiancheng arranged for Li Jiajun to sneak attack the grain and grass camp in Yuwen Chengdu several times, but each time he lost his troops and returned, he knew that the difficulty of this mission was huge.

Now Xia Yu said with red lips and white teeth that he would burn the grain and grass before this afternoon, and he would never believe it, so he immediately agreed: "Brother Xia, I agreed to your request, and I will wait for your good news in the army." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.
