Chapter 483: Ambush on three sides

What Wei Zheng looks like, in Li Xin's mind, he should be a dignified and dignified character, but after seeing Wei Zheng, he found that he was thin, only a pair of eyes were bright.

"Wei Zheng has seen His Royal Highness the King of Tang." Wei Zheng also secretly looked at Li Xin, among the heroes in the world, no one can escape Li Xin's influence, some people say that he is a Ming Jun, knows how to make good use of people, governs Guanzhong, and the country and the people are safe, some people say that he is a traitor and a traitor, betrayed Yang Guang, and even killed his father and brother. But I have to admit that Li Xin at this moment looks heroic and martial, and he can be called a handsome man.

"Sir doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what Mr. is here for?" Li Xin smiled and invited Wei Zheng to sit down, and said, "Could it be that you are preparing to deal with Li Shimin and Xu Shiji with Lone?" ”

Wei Zheng suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right. ”

In fact, his family knew the situation of his family, Dou Jiande led the army not to deal with Li Shimin, but to deal with Li Xin, he was afraid that Li Xin would take the opportunity to attack Hebei after defeating Li Shimin, but what he didn't expect was that Li Shimin's life was too big, Li Xin and Wang Shichong didn't want his life, but let him break out of the encirclement, march to Liyang, surrender Xu Shiji, and open a gap in Hebei's defense line.

After Dou Jiande learned the news, he was immediately unhappy, this Xu Shiji himself was his own horse boy, thinking that Li Xin might attack Liyang, he was here to help his horse boy, but he didn't expect that Xu Shiji, who was fighting on the street, actually surrendered to Li Shimin. Who is Li Shimin? is Dou Jiande's enemy, Li Zhao is ready to attack Hebei anytime and anywhere, Xu Shiji's surrender made Dou Jiande give up his vigilance against Li Xin, and instead prepare to join forces with him to deal with Li Shimin and Xu Shiji.

"I don't know how King Xia is going to deal with Li Shimin?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"If Li Shimin and Xu Shiji, the two traitors, want to leave Liyang, they must be divided into three parts, one part of which is stationed in Liyang to resist the soldiers and horses of the Tang King. Some of them will go west, trying to escape into Taihang and return to Li Zhao, and the other part may send troops and horses to the east to harass our Daxia County so that our army can go to the rescue. Wei Zheng said without thinking about it.

"Yes, exactly." Li Xin nodded, and had to admit that there were also masters in the Xia Kingdom, so he could see Li Shimin's every move clearly. It's just that I don't know how Dou Jiande is going to assign the tasks of the two armies.

"Therefore, my lord invites the king of Tang to go west, and my lord leads the army to the east. The two sides are bounded by Liyang. Wei Zheng said with a little blush. After all, it is really a bit unreasonable to let Li Xin undertake the attack on Li Shimin's soldiers and horses.

"Yes." To Wei Zheng's surprise, Li Xin actually agreed, and he promised so happily, which made Wei Zheng a little surprised.

"We ourselves are attacking Li Shimin, since Li Shimin is going west, we are naturally chasing Li Shimin, as for Xu Shiji, that is an internal matter of the Xia Kingdom. Naturally, the prime minister won't care. Du Ruhan explained with a smile: "However, Xu Shiji killed my 3,000 soldiers in Liyang, just ask King Xia to capture Xu Shiji, it is best to give us his head." ”

"It's nature." Wei Zheng nodded in response.

"That being the case. This king will attack Liyang tomorrow. Li Xin said with a smile: "Please also ask Lord Wei to tell King Xia that I have no grudge between Guanzhong and King Xia, we have a common enemy, and we should watch over each other." ”

"After the lower official returns, he will definitely play my master. King Tang, farewell. Wei Zheng looked at Li Xin seriously and nodded. Leave your hand.

"It's a pity that such a capable minister actually became Dou Jiande's courtier." Du Ruhui shook his head and said.

"Keming, don't worry, a person like Wei Zheng, his eyes are like a torch, he is upright, such a person is better in my Guanzhong, but in Dou Jiande, he may not be much better, and sooner or later he will join our camp." Li Xin shook his head indifferently, and said, "Keming, do you think Li Shimin will attack west?" ”

"No, he'll go east." Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "If Dou Jiande didn't come, he would definitely go west, now that Dou Jiande is here, he will go east, what Li Shimin needs is not to lead 50,000 elites back to Merge Prefecture, but to hit Dou Jiande hard, and even capture Hebei, only in this way can he establish meritorious deeds and offset the crime of Luoyang's failure this time." So he will definitely go east. ”

"Then we'll also go east." Li Xin's face was straight, and he said: "If I don't annihilate Li Shimin, I feel uneasy. ”

"No, Prime Minister, if the Prime Minister leads the army to the east, Dou Jiande will definitely suspect and offend Dou Jiande; Second, doesn't the prime minister think this is good news? Du Ruhui said happily: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Li Zhao's family that can be squandered now?" Why don't the prime minister go to Hedong and attack Hedong, on the one hand, he can take Hedong and deter Li Zhao, and second, he can stimulate the contradictions within Li Zhao. Li Shimin's failure to attack Luoyang is not counted, he still wants to attack Hebei, let us seize Hedong, lose Hedong, how many troops in Jinyang can resist us? Li Yuan must be furious, and in his anger, he may not need the prime minister to make a move, and he can kill Li Shimin with Li Yuan's hand. ”

"Yes, the farther Li Shimin goes, the more opportunities we have." Li Xin nodded and said happily: "What about the west?" Do we still need to go west? ”

"Naturally, if the subordinates are not mistaken, the person who leads the army to the west is Xu Shiji, and only a person like Xu Shiji can make a decision on the spot, and can use a small number of troops to cover the transfer of most of Li Shimin's troops, so as to gain more time for him." Du Ruhui said with a gloomy face: "Doesn't the prime minister want to avenge General Shen Guang?" ”

"Not bad. Destroy Xu Shiji first. Li Xin's eyes were gloomy and he whispered: "General Shen Guang died because of me, I naturally want to avenge him, and I will destroy Li Shimin's arm first." Now that Pei Renji has used soldiers, hehe, Xu Shiji, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this time. ”

"General, I'm afraid we're in big trouble this time." Outside Liyang City, in the dark night, Xu Shiji and his wife Shen Ruyan rode on horses, looking at the army in the distance, Shen Ruyan said with some regret, Li Shimin led 50,000 elites to the east to kill the past, and he and Xu Shiji led 20,000 people to kill to the west, under the banner of Li Shimin, the troops were far less than the other party, and the husband and wife were a little worried.

"Things are at this point, it is impossible for you and me to surrender to Li Xin, and Li Xin will not want you and me, and will even kill you and me to avenge Shen Guang!" Xu Shiji's face was flat, in fact, although he had some regrets in his heart, he didn't look like Shen Ruyan, a person who could even abandon his old father, what else could not be abandoned?

"What's more, Li Xin is not an ordinary person, our strategy of hiding the sky and crossing the sea may be able to hide it from others, but it may not be able to hide it from Li Xin." Xu Shiji saw his wife's worries and persuaded: "Li Xin definitely knows that Li Shimin will attack to the east, hehe, compared to you and me, Li Shimin is Li Xin's target, and there will be many difficulties in going west, but it is aimed at the incompetent, only the incompetent people believe that Li Shimin's soldiers and horses are going west, and people like Li Xin know that they are left to die and then live, and the only way to go east is to go east." Let's go! Heading west doesn't have to be easy, but it's definitely not dangerous. I, Xu Shiji, am I still very young? I still want you to give birth to a few dolls for me! ”

Shen Ruyan's face was slightly red when she heard this, but she still sighed, and she didn't know why, for so many years, Shen Ruyan hadn't even given birth to a baby, and Shen Ruyan had also thought about letting Xu Shiji take a concubine, but unfortunately, as soon as the matter was put on the agenda, she saw that Li Mi was defeated, Dou Jiande killed him, and now even Li Xin has been killed, and the matter of taking a concubine has never been considered again.

The army advanced in the night, supporting each other, the speed of the march was very slow, Xu Shiji was not in a hurry, Liyang was mountainous to the west, and the first thing Li Xin had to do was to attack Liyang, and after taking Liyang, he would consider dividing the troops into two routes, attacking himself all the way, and attacking Li Shimin all the way.

In the early morning, there is a big river in front of it passing slowly, it is the Wei River in Liyang, only a few dozen miles away from Liyang, the ground is relatively open, the Wei River flows from north to south, and finally flows into the Yellow River.

"It's Weihe." Shen Ruyan glanced at Weihe, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, it was too quiet on Weihe, now that the sun had come out of the mountain, it stands to reason that there should be pedestrians on Weihe Bridge at this time, but there is no at this time, which is a little abnormal.

Xu Shiji obviously also found out about this problem, thought about it, and said: "The whole army is going north, and there is a bridge ten miles to the north, and we will kill it from there." Xu Shiji commanded the army to hurry north, the situation on the Weihe Bridge made Xu Shiji a little uneasy, he couldn't figure out that his actions had been mastered, Xu Shiji didn't dare to pass through the Weihe Bridge, so he could only turn around.

"Xu Shiji is really a coward, Prime Minister, if he forcibly attacks, I'm afraid we will become his prisoners." In the grove opposite the Weihe Bridge, Li Xin led a hundred cavalry to stand there quietly, and in the distance, there were many ordinary people who were either shouldering or pushing, or carrying various things, all ready to enter the city, but now they were blocked here, looking at Li Xin with fear and curiosity.

"If you go from the Weihe Bridge, there will be a flat river in front of you in a short period of time, and it may be a little difficult to ambush Xu Shiji, but fortunately, Xu Shiji is now a frightened bird." Li Xin said with a smile: "Seeing the calm of Weihe, he can only turn around and leave, he is gone, we are also leaving, Pei Renji is still waiting for this king to charge for him!" Walk. Li Xin urged Zhan Ma and Du Ruhui and the others to gallop upstream. (To be continued......)
