Zhang Wensu's suggestion that there was no need to compete head-on with Qu Tutong was not adopted.

Dad was sure that Qu Tutong would not dare to compete with us head-on, and pondered for a long time in the Chinese military tent and said: "Under Qu Tutong's command, there are many elite soldiers and good generals, but now they can't defend it, presumably his soldiers have been centrifuged." After completion, you quickly cross the river and tell Wang Changhui that if the Sui soldiers go to war, there is no need to win, just delay for time. Qu Tutong is not there, and it is easy to capture Hedong. ”

I said yes and asked, "What if he doesn't attack?" ”

Dad smiled: "Then demolish the pontoon bridge, block their retreat, and attack back and forth, Qu Tutong can be captured." ”

Even Zhang Wensu, who was standing behind me, smiled and said, "Ming Gong is high, Wensu is obedient." ”

I nodded and said, "Completed to take orders." ”

Wang Changhuan is his father's henchman, and he followed left and right when his father was the Taishou of Loufu County, and has been unswervingly supporting his father's uprising, and now he is ordered to be stationed in Liangshan, and his father's army is in the west of Hedong County, and Qu Tutong has formed an encirclement trend.

I soon crossed the river to Wang Changhuan's army, and the men who crossed the river with him were Liu Hongji, the commander of the right army, and Shi Chen Yanshou, the commander of the left army, and Shi Daqi, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu.

Wang Chang Harmonic saw me and knew that the time had come to assist from the west.

"Childe, what is the best plan for Ming Gong?" Although he is a martial artist, he has followed his father for many years, and like Xu Shixu, he also has some knowledge.

I have always had a good impression of him, so I smiled and said: "You crossed the river with great fanfare, and the people in the city should have known that Qu Tutong had sent troops to attack?" ”

Wang Changhe shook his head and said: "The city gate is closed, the pontoon bridge is empty, and you can't see half a figure at all. ”

Liu Hongji said impatiently on the side: "Eldest prince, what are the instructions of the Ming Gong?" ”

Like Li Shimin, he likes to compete for merit, and he spoke to me so unceremoniously that even Wang Changhui squinted at him.

He was still unconscious, and continued: "According to the general, it is better to learn from Huoyi to fight and lure Qu Tutong to fight. ”

Chen Yanshou said slowly: "Why is Liu Tongjun so anxious? The governor of the capital has arrived, and there is no rest for a moment, why doesn't Liu Tongjun ask the governor of the capital to enter the account and discuss again? ”

I glanced at Chen Yanshou, who was slightly chubby, the same age as my father, but he was just a small scholar next to my father, and he was very low-key in everything he did, but since the surrender of Xihe County, I was appointed by my father as the governor of the left army, and he became the chief of the left army, which was actually the supervisor sent by my father.

I have always had no good impression of the prison army, because the Wagang army was in chaos east of Luoyang, occupied Luokou, and killed the guard general Zhang Xutuo, so Yang Guang sent Pei Renji as the ambassador of Henan Province to arrest and suppress Li Mi's army.

After Zhang Xutuo's death, all the warriors under his command were under Pei Renji, including Qin Qiong, who was famous for his bravery, and Luo Shixin, a young hero, and his own son Pei Xingyan was also a brave general.

Yang Guang has always been seriously suspicious and sick, relying on Pei Renji's strength, but also not at ease, so when the military power was handed over to him, he also appointed Xiao Huaijing, the superintendent of the imperial history, as the supervising army, Pei Renji has always been very good to his subordinates and soldiers, but he was constrained by the superintendent Xiao Huaijing and was not allowed to be free.

Li Mi took advantage of this to recruit Pei Renji to surrender, and since then, the Wagang army has been even more powerful.

I have always admired Pei Renji, he was killed by Xiao Huaijing, a messy prison army, I am naturally unhappy for him, and I hate the so-called prison army.

After Chen Yanshou finished speaking, Liu Hongji was choked speechless, only then did he realize his presumptuousness, took two steps back and arched his hand: "Big ...... The Metropolitan Governor is invited to enter the account. ”

I arched my hand at Chen Yanshou and asked him to enter first, and I walked in after him.

Chen Yanshou walked to the tent, stepped aside and bowed to me, "Please instruct the Metropolitan Governor." ”

I don't know why, this should be the same as my identity, but I am very uncomfortable, this kind of forcibly distance between people is really unlikeable.

But I didn't show it, I just followed Chen Yanshou and pretended to say: "Qu Tutong has elite generals, but he doesn't dare to attack, which can only show that the heart of the army under his command has changed, and the heart of the army has moved, and the capture of Hedong County is just around the corner, and my father's intention is not to let Qu Tutong have the spare strength to flee west." And we are here to cut off its retreat. ”

Wang Chang said harmoniously: "In this case, when will Ming Gong attack the city?" I'll be ready as soon as possible. ”

I smiled and waved my hand, "Why prepare?" Wang Tongjun, you can allocate 500 soldiers to tear down the pontoon bridge over the river tonight, and it will be enough. ”

Liu Hongji arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to go." As if to make up for the rudeness just now.

I ignored him, and only said to Shi Daqi, who was standing behind Chen Yanshou: "General Shi, please take charge of this matter." ”

Hearing this, Shi Daqi arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Hongji retreated into the queue with an embarrassed face.

I smiled and said to Chen Yanshou: "Chen Changshi, when I came here, my father had a letter asking me to pass it on to Yu Changshi. As she spoke, she handed him a letter.

Chen Yanshou accepted the letter with a smile and thanked him.

After the discussion in the military tent, Chen Yanshou invited me to patrol the camp with me, in fact, to put it more directly, to supervise my patrol camp.

Of course, I know that Chen Yanshou has something to say to me alone.

He is an elder, in the past when he was a bookkeeper by my father's side, I never despised him because of his low official position, and now he is a long history, always supervising me, I am actually quite uncomfortable in front of him, but there is no way, I can't refuse.

As we walked, Chen Yanshou said: "The prince is here, in addition to conveying the instructions of the Ming Gong, is there anything else?" ”

I was stunned for a moment before shaking my head and saying, "No." ”

Chen Yanshou smiled: "Childe, do you know that before you came, someone had already come?" ”

I said, "Who?" ”

Chen Yanshou touched his beard and said, "Second son." ”

I was stunned again, what is Li Shimin doing here? Shouldn't he be wholeheartedly preparing to follow his father to attack the city? And it is against military law to leave without permission.

I smiled and shook my head.

Chen Yanshou said again: "Childe doesn't ask him why he came here? ”

I waved my hand a little bored: "I don't want to ask, and I don't want to care." ”

Chen Yanshou said: "If the son doesn't ask, he will keep silent." ”

In the dark of night, I guess Shi Daqi had already led people to the bridge.

As we walked, we discussed the situation in Guanzhong - the most influential leader of the rebel army, Sun Hua, had been recruited by his father, and in addition to the defenders of Daxing City, Qu Tutong in Hedong was the most difficult.

While they were talking, they heard a sudden shouting outside the camp gate.

Someone shouted: "The enemy is attacking the camp!" Enemy attack camp! ”
