In Liyang City, Li Shimin and others gathered together, although Li Xin had retreated and did not attack for the time being, but Li Shimin and others did not have any joy on their faces, Li Xin's army was still under the city, and in Liyang, Dou Jiande still had tens of thousands of troops about to kill. Li Xin wants his own life, Dou Jiande wants his own life, and the current situation is even more serious than before.

"According to the news, Dou Jiande led 80,000 elites this time, the striker was Liu Heimin, led 30,000 troops, and killed them from Chao Liyang, under the city, Li Xin's soldiers and horses also looked like 80,000, not only gathered Pei Shiju, but also Su Dingfang, Wei Chigong and other generals, compared with Dou Jiande, we are more worried about Li Xin at this moment." The eldest grandson Wuji talked seriously about the situation in front of him, and everyone in the hall stopped talking.

"Can you tell me what the situation should be?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why did Dou Jiande come here?" Did you find us? ”

"Giving up Liyang is a must, although we also have sixty or seventy thousand horses, but we are definitely not the opponent of the two." Fang Xuanling said out loud: "Your Highness, compared to Li Xin, we should attack Dou Jiande and forcibly attack Dou Jiande. ”

"Then what should Liyang do?" A cold voice came, but it was Xu Shiji's wife Shen Ruyan who said. Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't dare to speak, although Shen Ruyan said it very easily, but the implication was to say who stayed in Liyang to resist Li Xin's attack.

Although Dou Jiande is very good at fighting, but Li Xin is not simple, he will definitely attack Liyang, whoever stays here to garrison Liyang to resist Li Xin, the people who stay here will definitely be destroyed by Li Xin, this is a difficult task, not ordinary people can stop it. Who can stop Li Xin.

"The last general is willing to stay in Liyang." It was no one else who spoke, but You Junda, which surprised Li Shimin, and he glanced at Fang Xuanling. saw Fang Xuanling nodded.

"The last general is willing to stay." Hou Junji also spoke.

"It's not enough to leave people to hold Liyang, Li Xin's soldiers are sharp, I'm afraid Liyang won't be able to support it for long, and the two generals are just trying to gain more time for King Qin. Let King Qin attack Dou Jiande, and solve Dou Jiande first, so that he can have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Fang Xuanling said.

"Okay, then ask Hou Junji and You Junda to stay in Liyang, and this king and Mao Gong will attack Dou Jiande." Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Hou Junji, how many soldiers and horses are you going to keep?" ”

"Ten thousand." Hou Junji said loudly.

"10,000 is too many, this king can only give you 5,000." Li Shimin hurriedly said. He has never fought with Dou Jiande, and he doesn't know how Dou Jiande is, but compared to Li Xin, he is still willing to deal with Dou Jiande.

"Five thousand is fine." Hou Junji said loudly: "The last general will definitely defend Liyang, and will not let Li Xin step half a step past Liyang." ”

"Nope. I don't want you to defend Liyang, although this Liyang is important, it is not as important as the two generals, and the two generals can give up Liyang at the right time. Li Shimin hurriedly said: "We killed Shen Guang, he will not let our general go." So when necessary, you can give up Liyang. ”

"Yes." Hou Junji's face suddenly showed joy, even You Junda was the same, Li Shimin finally didn't give the two of them a task. It made him feel very comfortable.

"Okay, we will break through tonight, and we must not let Li Xin find out." Li Shimin gave the order without hesitation and said, "The generals can go down and prepare now." General Xu, please stay. ”

After everyone is gone. Li Shimin sat down, greeted Xu Shiji, and said, "The former wolf and the second tiger." The people's hearts are scattered, and this battle is full of dangers! ”

"What did Your Highness find?" Xu Shiji rolled his eyes and said.

"It's human nature." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Mao Gong, can you escape the attack of Li Xin and Dou Jiande this time, Mao Gong, how to deal with the current situation?" ”

"If the last general is not mistaken, Li Xin may have set up a heavy ambush in the west." Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break through from the west, but if we don't go west, Li Xin will also know the direction of our attack." ”

"What does that mean?" Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and said: "Now the army is depressed, don't say that it is attacking Li Xin, even attacking Dou Jiande, it may not be able to win!" ”

"Therefore, there must be a part of the soldiers and horses to attack to the west, pretending to be a large army, but the other armies must attack to the east, completely sweep through the Shandong area, mobilize Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses, and annihilate Dou Jiande in the movement, or make him withdraw his troops and let us go in the western region, or simply destroy Dou Jiande and occupy Hebei." Xu Shiji suggested.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others did not speak, this is a quite bold plan, if it can succeed, it will naturally get more benefits, but if it fails, it will be a catastrophe, you must know that the current Da Zhao does not have many soldiers and horses, attacking Dou Jiande at this time may drag Da Zhao to death completely, which is not in line with Li Zhao's principle.

"Otherwise, we will face the attack of Li Xin and Dou Jiande, and tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses will be eaten by the two." Li Shimin nodded and said, "This king also thinks so, it's just that it's not good to bring it up just now." ”

"Whether it is to the east or to the west, the person who is required to lead the army must be a general, and the king of Qin might as well let General Hou Junji stay and let him lead a part of the army to the west, and the king of Qin himself will lead the army to the east." Xu Shiji suggested.

"No, this king personally led 20,000 troops to the west, and General Xu led 50,000 troops to the east, and you and I will completely stir up Hebei and Shandong, and use the means of Perak Hall to cooperate with each other." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Hou Junji may have the posture of a general, but not now, he is just a fierce general, and he is not worthy of heavy responsibility." ”

"Then let the last general play the banner of King Qin to the west, and the King of Qin to the east." Xu Shiji thought for a while and said. After Shen Guang died in battle, Xu Shiji completely extinguished his mind to join Li Xin, and only single-mindedly surrendered to Li Shimin, and perhaps he could succeed in the future.

"No, Li Xin hates this king to the bone, if the general plays the banner of this king, he will only do it to the general." Li Shimin refused without thinking about it.

"King Qin and Mao Gong both play the banner of King Qin." Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "It seems that Mao Gong's journey is very dangerous, but from Liyang to the west, there are mostly mountains and forests, as long as the 20,000 army enters the mountains and forests, even if Li Xin's skills are great, it is impossible to search the mountains and forests, not to mention that there is a Dou Jiande next to him, which may not make Li Xin so rampant." ”

"Yes, Xuan Ling is right, once Mao Gong is out of Li Xin's attack, he will immediately go to Huguan, lead the Huguan soldiers and horses, and attack Hebei, you and I may not be able to defeat Dou Jiande and seize the land of Hebei." Li Shimin's face showed joy, walking back and forth, and the frustration that was defeated by Li Xin just now instantly cheered up again, this is the posture of a hero, not comparable to anyone.

"Now I don't know where Li Xin will attack?" Fang Xuanling's heart is still bottomless, if ordinary people will attack the west and block the army from Huguan back to Dazhao, but Li Xin is different, what this person is best at is surprise, thinking what ordinary people can't think, doing things that ordinary people can't do, and it's unknown if others will attack to the east.

"He's going to attack west." Li Shimin said with confidence: "If there is no Dou Jiande, he will definitely attack to the east, but Dou Jiande will definitely not let Li Xin attack to the east, if Li Xin, the tiger, goes to Shandong, Shandong will not fall into the hands of Li Xin!" Dou Jiande will not let him attack us, and there are countless mountains to the west, and Dou Jiande will not take it to heart. ”

"Well, what King Qin said is very true." Xu Shiji and the others nodded, Dou Jiande is here, there are bad things, there are also good things, how to turn bad things into good things, it depends on the talent of the commander.

"Mao Gong, this time you lead the army to the west, the difficulties you encounter will be more right, and the danger will be even greater! Be careful all the way to the West End. Li Shimin said with some worry.

"King Qin, rest assured, although Li Xin is powerful, he may not be able to keep up with the last general." Xu Shiji said with great confidence: "In Guanzhong, the most powerful is Li Jing, Li Xin is brave, but he is not a famous general, marching and fighting, bravery is nothing, and the last general can not fight with him." ”

"Yes, haha, Li Xin is just a fierce general, yes, Mao Gong, this king likes this sentence very much." Li Shimin nodded again and again after hearing this, and after laughing for a while, he took Xu Shiji's hand and said: "If this king can get a general, it is equivalent to getting the whole of Hebei and Shandong." Go, the general and follow the orphan to choose the elite. ”

In the Li Xin camp outside the city, there is a huge map in front of Pei Renji, with Liyang as the center on the map, and the surrounding Huaxian, Qi County, Hebi, Tangyin, and even Lingchuan in Bingzhou are all indicated on it, these things are all Jinyiwei using the vendor sign to come out, what is the terrain of each place, where is the peak, where is the ravine, all show one by one, it is the hard-earned Jinyiwei, the most confidential map in the army.

"Prime Minister, there is Dou Jiande's envoy Wei asking to meet the Prime Minister outside."

There were soldiers from outside who came to report.

"Wei Zheng?" Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and said to Pei Renji: "General Pei is in charge of this person, wait for this king to meet this Wei Zheng." ”

For the famous Wei Zheng in history, Li Xin is still very interested, Wei Zheng is also a talent, he is good at admonishing, can give the best advice to the master when the master is the most critical, Li Xin believes that any Ming Jun needs to have such a minister around him, of course, only around Ming Jun has it, if there is a faint monarch around, it will not live long, this Wei Zheng can live so long after confronting the emperor, which shows that this person is very methodical in admonishing, not a direct minister, Li Xin did not expect that, This Wei Zheng is actually Dou Jiande's subordinate. I didn't expect to see myself as a messenger. (To be continued......)
