Chapter 493 War is imminent

As soon as Wei Ting reminded him, Li Jiancheng also remembered what Wei Ting said just now about sending the vanguard army to investigate, and nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Wei reminded me!" Someone! Send me Feng Li! ”

As Li Jiancheng's order was conveyed, the first to arrive was not Feng Li summoned by Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin! Li Shimin rushed to Li Jiancheng's side, first glanced at Wei Ting next to him, and then said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother! What are you going to summon Feng Li for? ”

Li Shimin's questioning even had a hint of questioning, Li Jiancheng frowned, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, and hummed: "I summoned Feng Lilai, naturally I have something important to deal with, second brother!" The commander of this army is a brother, does he have to report everything to you first? ”

"This ......" Li Shimin also knew that there was something wrong with the tone of his speech, which made Li Jiancheng dissatisfied, and immediately Li Shimin also paused, and then smiled at Li Jiancheng and saluted his fists, and said: "Big brother!" The younger brother is rude, and I ask the eldest brother to forgive me! The younger brother is also for the sake of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is more considerate! ”

"Humph!" Regarding Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng naturally won't believe them all, but since Li Shimin has already softened, Li Jiancheng can't hold on to this, so he can only snort coldly and stop saying anything. At this time, a general rode a war horse and galloped in front of Li Jiancheng, turned over and dismounted directly, knelt down at Li Jiancheng, and shouted: "The last general Feng Li!" See the Son! What is the command of the last general? ”

Looking at the tiger general in front of him, Li Jiancheng nodded again and again, while Li Shimin was complicated, this Feng Li is only loyal to Li Jiancheng, and sometimes even Li Yuan's words are not good! For Feng Li, Li Jiancheng was also very relieved, and immediately Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Feng Li! It's almost time to go to Hongnong! I order you to be the vanguard general, and lead 5,000 elite soldiers to Hongnong to find out the truth! Remember, use your troops flexibly, and if you are defeated, return immediately, and don't fall in love with war! ”

"Whoa!" After listening to Li Jiancheng's order, Feng Li didn't even think about it, he immediately hugged his fists and drank, even if he took Li Jiancheng's order, maybe for Feng Li, even if Li Jiancheng ordered him to commit suicide, he would not hesitate to draw his sword and kill himself!

"Wait!" And just when Feng Li was about to get on the horse to carry out Li Jiancheng's order, Li Shimin, whose face had changed greatly next to him, immediately stopped Feng Li, turned his head to stare at Li Jiancheng, and shouted: "Big brother! With such an important decision, why didn't my eldest brother discuss it with me before? ”

Li Jiancheng had already guessed that Li Shimin would speak out against it, but Li Jiancheng had already prepared and immediately said: "I am the commander of the three armed forces, why don't I even have the power to appoint a vanguard general?" Second brother! Didn't you also say before, you should be cautious in this trip, and don't be greedy for merit! I'm also following your advice, so Feng Li led the vanguard army to explore the way first! Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Jiancheng to rebel against his own army, and his words couldn't help but stagnate, but soon Li Shimin retorted: "Big brother did it right!" It's just that I've already sent scouts to explore the path before, and now the eldest brother is sending a pioneer again, which is a bit redundant, right? ”

It's a pity that Li Jiancheng is already determined to fight against Li Shimin, Li Shimin's words can't impress Li Jiancheng at all, Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "Although the scouts march secretly, it is inconvenient to act!" It's better to send a vanguard army to explore the way, it's more effective! All right! Second brother! I've made up my mind, so you don't have to persuade me anymore! This army is temporarily stationed in Huayin in front, and the second brother can work hard, so help deal with it! After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he turned his face away and stopped talking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Jiancheng to act so tough suddenly, and it was difficult to respond for a while, so he could only salute Li Jiancheng with a fist and say: "In this way, the younger brother will obey the assignment of the eldest brother!" After speaking, Li Shimin also turned the horse's head and left. And after seeing Li Shimin leave, Li Jiancheng turned his head and smiled at Wei Ting, this was the first victory he won in the fight with Li Shimin!

Let's say that Li Shimin retreated to his subordinates with a gloomy face, and when he saw Li Shimin retreating, several generals immediately stepped forward, one of them was tall and calm, but it was Duan Zhixuan, the general under Li Shimin! Duan Zhixuan is one of the fierce generals under Li Shimin, he is very skilled, and in the previous battles such as Huoyi and Chang'an, Duan Zhixuan was a pioneer general, and he made a lot of contributions to the Li family! The most rare thing is that Duan Zhixuan is loyal to Li Shimin, and he has always been headed by Li Shimin!

Duan Zhixuan was discussing the next battle with Li Shimin before, but he suddenly heard that Li Jiancheng was going to summon Feng Li to discuss the matter, and Li Shimin also left in a hurry, and now seeing Li Shimin coming back with an unkind face, Duan Zhixuan also knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Guo!" But what happened? ”

Li Shimin looked up at everyone with a gloomy face, a smile squeezed out of his face, but he said everything that had just happened with a helpless face, and then said to everyone: "Brother has appointed Feng Li as a pioneer general, go to explore the way!" Although I was against it, I couldn't change my brother's decision. ”

"What?" As soon as Li Shimin said this, Duan Zhixuan also immediately fell silent, but a short general behind Duan Zhixuan couldn't help shouting, this person is Hou Junji, a general who has followed Li Shimin for a long time, when the Li family was still in Luoyang, Hou Junji followed Li Shimin as an escort, and now he has become a general under Li Shimin. When Hou Junji heard Li Shimin say this, he immediately shouted: "How can the prince do this? When will it be Feng Li's turn to be in the position of this vanguard general? He was a pioneer, and Lao Tzu was the first to disagree! Lao Tzu is going to find him alone, and he has to snatch his vanguard general! ”

"Hou Junji! Don't mess up! Don't you hurry up and give me a retreat" After Hou Junji finished speaking, he carried a big knife and prepared to leave, while Li Shimin shouted and glared at Hou Junji, Li Shimin said again: "My brother is the commander of the three armies, and it is reasonable for him to appoint the vanguard, why should we oppose it?" All right! This matter must be mentioned again! ”

Although Hou Junji was irritable, he still obeyed Li Shimin's words, Li Shimin said so, he naturally didn't dare to resist, so he could only honestly retreat aside. Duan Zhixuan, on the other hand, thought for a moment and said to Li Shimin: "Grandpa Guo! This matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in arguing any further! Since the prince asked Grandpa Guo to deal with the stationing of the army in Huayin, Grandpa Guo will lead an army to Huayin first, and leave it to the last general! Grandpa Guo will wait and see what happens for the time being! ”

Li Shimin still trusts Duan Zhixuan very much, since Duan Zhixuan said so, Li Shimin also relied on Duan Zhixuan, even if he ordered all the soldiers and horses, he specially took Hou Junji with him, and rushed directly in the direction of Huayin. The cronies in the army have all stayed, all headed by Duan Zhixuan!

At the same time, Hongnong City, which is far away in Hongnong County, ushered in another army, and the leading generals were Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, the generals under Wan He! With Wanhe's military order and Pang Yu's token in hand, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin easily obtained the military and political power of Hongnong City, and nearly 100,000 troops were directly stationed in Hongnong, a small city.

Sitting in the meeting hall of the Hongnong County Guard's Mansion, Qin Qiong carefully checked the information about the movements of the Tang army's soldiers and horses, and finally nodded and said, "This time the Li family is not only leading the troops Li Jiancheng, but also Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin!" Well! That's a bit tricky to deal with! ”

When Luo Shixin, who was next to Qin Qiong, heard this, he asked curiously, "Uncle Bao!" Is there anything special about this Li Shimin? Why do you say that this battle is hard to fight with him? ”

Qin Qiong nodded slightly, put the information on the table at hand, and said, "If Li Jiancheng is the only one to command the army, then this battle will be much easier!" Although Li Jiancheng is the son of the Tang Dynasty, he has never been on the battlefield before, nor has he ever fought! Such a novice is naturally easy to deal with! But Li Shimin is different! I heard that this person has been in the army since he was more than ten years old, although he is young, but he can be regarded as a long-time battle-hardened person! Especially after Li Yuan raised his troops, this person has made miraculous achievements for the Li family many times, and his marching methods are ruthless, and he is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with! ”

After several battles, the current Luo Shixin is no longer the reckless and impulsive person he used to be, hearing Qin Qiong say this, Luo Shixin didn't dare to underestimate Li Shimin, when he frowned and said: "If Li Shimin is really so powerful, then what should we do?" ”

What Luo Shixin asked was exactly what Qin Qiong was thinking, how to fight this battle was indeed a headache for Qin Qiong! If there were no other factors in this battle, just one attack and one defense, then the 100,000 army led by Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin would naturally be able to easily win against the 30,000 Tang army! But the problem is that this battle is very delicate, and now Wan He can't tear his face with the Li family, so at the beginning of this battle, Qin Qiong can't really start a war with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin! The task assigned by Wan He to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin is to use an army of 100,000 to scare the other party back!

That Li Jiancheng is the first brother on the battlefield, and when he sees an army several times his own, he will definitely be frightened and retreat! But Li Shimin is different, in case this person insists on fighting with Qin Qiong, then Qin Qiong really doesn't know how to fight this battle! After thinking for a while, Qin Qiong didn't come up with any good way, so he could only say: "I don't know how to deal with it for a while, so it's better to send a team of people to try the depth of the other party!" Shixin, this important task is entrusted to you! ”

"No problem!" Luo Shixin also immediately patted his chest, and promised to come down, seeing that Qin Qiong was still a little worried, Luo Shixin also immediately shouted: "Don't worry!" Uncle Bao! I know what you're worried about! I'm not going to come here! ”
