Chapter 767: On the eve of the decisive battle
Qin Qiong was indeed as Xu Shiji thought, when he chased to the back camp, he saw the people who were raging in the sea of fire, and immediately understood Xu Shiji's plan, although he was angry in his heart, he still ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit, but turned around and let people put out the fire.
The fire was not extinguished until the next morning. On the scorched earth of the camp, more than 10,000 charred corpses lay on the ground, motionless. On the other side, there were many people crouching on the ground, huddled together, shivering, and their faces were worried and afraid.
"I've already asked clearly, these people are the people around them, and there are even some people from Zhucheng, who were kidnapped by Xu Shiji." Luo Shixin walked over and said in a low voice.
"So, we were all tricked, the ones who went out at night were the elite soldiers who used to go out, and the people who came in the morning were these ordinary people, because we were far away, and they were all stationed in the back camp, so we weren't discovered?" Qin Qiong snorted coldly and said.
"Exactly." Luo Shixin's face was not good-looking, he nodded, and said: "Xu Shiji will withdraw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses every night, and for three consecutive days, 40,000 people were evacuated, plus last night, there were thousands of people who left in the end. ”
"Xu Shiji is really vicious, hey, I still underestimate him, if he attacks early, where can Xu Shiji escape." Qin Qiong sighed, he deeply regretted it, his courage was still a little smaller, if he attacked earlier, how could he let Xu Shiji escape? This kind of tragedy will not happen in front of you.
"Shubao, you can't blame you for this. I didn't expect Xu Shiji to be so insidious and cruel. Luo Shixin looked at the charred corpses that were burned in the distance, and some ordinary people who were not dead, but were also burned, were lying there wailing, and his heart was extremely unbearable, although there were doctors with the army who were bandaging and treating them, but whether they could save their lives. Luo Shixin still didn't dare to guarantee it.
"Hey, arrange everything here first, and then go to find Your Majesty. I will ask Your Majesty for my guilt. Qin Qiong sighed and said: "Xu Shiji is hypocritical and cunning, but this kind of attention is not something he can think of, and he can mobilize the cooperation of Zhucheng, I'm afraid only that one will make a move." Hehe, they all say that King Qin is benevolent and righteous, and can help the world and the people. It's just like this when I see it today, and the Shandong family welcomes this person, and the Shandong family is really blind. ”
"Hey, it's really unwilling to think about it, or let Xu Shiji run away." Luo Shixin stuck the lance in his hand into the ground fiercely, and said viciously: "Sooner or later, I will personally arrest Xu Shiji and let him taste the taste of being burned alive." ”
"Don't worry, there will be this day." Qin Qiong patted Luo Shixin's shoulder and said, "Clean up." Three days later, you and I each led a soldier and a horse, divided into east and west directions, and attacked Shandong. Then go to Dongping to meet His Majesty. Li Shimin asked Xu Shiji to withdraw from the army, I am afraid that he wanted to fight to the death with His Majesty, and finally decide the ownership of Shandong. Such an opportunity could not be missed, hundreds of thousands of troops entangled with each other. Carefully observe, it is also beneficial to lead the army to fight in the future. ”
"Hehe, I'm just a fierce general. Charge into battle and you're good to go. Shubao, such an opportunity cannot be missed. Luo Shixin said indifferently.
"You can think about it." Qin Qiong glanced at the distance.
"Li Shimin is no longer sure of Shandong, so he treats the people like this, tsk, Li Shimin is really not an ordinary person." Luo Shixin shook his head and said: "I suspect now that even if he evacuates Shandong, I'm afraid he will leave us with a dilapidated Shandong, which is really hateful." ”
"Since ancient times, war has been like this, Li Shimin is like this, and Your Majesty is like this." Qin Qiong said indifferently: "When we seize Shandong, we will definitely go around to publicize Li Shimin's great achievements, but I want to see what kind of face Li Shimin claims to be a person who helps the world and the people." ”
A few days later, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin divided their troops and began to attack all parts of Shandong, Luo Shixin led 50,000 troops, followed Xu Shiji, and went to Dongping, but Qin Qiong led 40,000 troops and killed Linzi, also to catch Cheng and bite gold.
In Dongping City, Li Shimin has been led by Xu Shiji to return to Dongping, but he is not very happy in his heart, although Xu Shiji's arrival has increased his soldiers and horses a lot, at least he can make his soldiers and horses compete with Li Xin. It's just that the arrival of Xu Shiji shows that Shandong's Dazhao forces have been driven to the north.
Li Shimin thinks that his Shandong strategy has failed, and now the most important thing is how to solve the Li Xin in front of him, Li Shimin's most desired result is to block Li Xin by the Daqing River, and the southern part of Shandong is still left to Li Xin, and he occupies the northern part of Shandong, which is best bounded by the Daqing River, and the worst is also bounded by the Yellow River.
It's just that Li Xin will agree to this? Li Shimin was not sure, and no one knew what Li Xin thought. Therefore, he still needs to work hard, at least to defeat Li Xin and cause losses in the opponent's troops.
"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Outside the lobby, Li Yuanji walked in casually, looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "I heard that Xu Shiji has returned from the withdrawal of the army safely?" ”
"Although I lost some people, I finally came back safely, and I will be able to reach Dongping in about half a month, and Li Xin has not had a chance to intercept Xu Shiji now." Li Shimin nodded and said, "What, what are you looking for him for?" ”
"I'm not looking for him, but I want his soldiers and horses, second brother, don't forget, how much my 100,000 army has lost now, you have to calculate it for me." Li Yuanji found a chair and sat down, and said, "I worked hard to recruit 100,000 troops in Shandong, and I was ruined by you like this?" ”
"Yuanji, how can you say such things, is this the reason for me and Xu Shiji?" After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "This is for the court, for the father, can the war be easily won?" ”
What Li Shimin didn't expect was that Li Yuanji was clamoring for his own 100,000 troops at this time, which made Li Shimin's already dissatisfied mood explode instantly, pointing at Li Yuanji and scolding: "If you hadn't had 100,000 troops in your hands and didn't know how to exterminate those rebels, how could Cheng Yanjin strengthen his strength, resulting in us being at a disadvantage now." Are you embarrassed to ask me for an army of 100,000 now? ”
"Hmph, I am incompetent, how can I be blamed, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong can't deal with Li Xin. Hmph, you wait, I will definitely play my father when I go back. Li Yuanji's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes showed a look of shame, but he was embarrassed to continue arguing with Li Shimin, so he turned around and walked out of the hall.
