"What does the old general think of King Qi's idea?" After Li Shimin heard this, he said to Qu Tutong: "If our army joins the camp of attacking Hedong at this moment, does the old general think that he can capture Hedong?" Can the Turks calm their suspicions about us? ”

"Naturally, you can." Qu Tutong didn't think about it and said, "It's just, King Qin, are you really ready?" ”

"No, there's no other way." Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "Li Xin won't give us much time to prepare, he will launch a crazy attack on us in Hedong sooner or later, and we don't have much time, Li Xin's brigade is coming, even if we send troops, I'm afraid it's too late, Hedong must be taken, even if it costs more, it's worth it, capture Hedong, Chang'an is within the scope of our attack, Li Xin is afraid that he won't be able to sleep well at night." ”

"Since King Qin has made a decision, the last general will naturally follow it." Qu Tutong nodded to Qu Tushou next to him, and saw Qu Tushou turn around and leave, after half a ring, he walked over with a big seal, Qu Tutong looked at the big seal and sighed, then took it, put it in front of Li Shimin, and said: "King Qin, this is the big seal of the last general, it will be handed over to the king of Qin from today, the last general is old, after this serious illness, the body and bones are not good, in the past, I could eat three bowls of rice, but now I can't even eat a bowl, I'm afraid I can't serve the king of Qin, the last general has begged for bones, and the fold is also presented to the emperor, The emperor also agreed yesterday, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Bird Mouse Valley, which will be handed over to the King of Qin from today, plus the 30,000 troops of the King of Qi, that is, 60,000 people, which is enough to help the King of Qin take Hedong. ”

"Old general, you?" Li Shimin was dissatisfied for a while, looking at Qu Tutong, but he didn't expect Qu Tutong to give himself this trick and return to his hometown. What's going on, even if you're dissatisfied with yourself, don't use this trick!

"King Qin, do you say that you can still go into battle to kill the enemy with the word "last general?" Qu Tutong stood up, his face was bitter, Li Shimin looked over, and saw Qu Tutong's right hand trembling, where can he go into battle to kill the enemy and charge into battle, I'm afraid it is very difficult to take care of himself! Li Shimin didn't expect a serious illness afterward. Qu Tutong actually became like this, while being disappointed in his heart, there was also a trace of sadness, Qu Tutong can be said to be an old general in the army, and he has to return to his hometown at this moment, how many talents will there be in Dazhao in the future!

"In that case, the old general should pay more attention to his body in the future!" Li Shimin finally took over the Great Seal, and like Li Xin, he came to Hedong this time. He didn't bring an army, and his entourage was only a thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry, and he just needed Qu Tutong's 30,000 troops to help him lock the battle situation in Hedong.

"It's finally gone. Second brother, if you want me to see, this matter in the army is still in the hands of your own people. Qu Tutong left with the support of his son Qu Tushou. Li Yuanji walked over with a disdainful face, and snorted coldly: "These old guys, relying on their age. The prestige is high, just command this in the army, command that, ten days ago, I said that everyone should unite to deal with Li Xin and seize Hedong, this old thing is opposed, saying that now is not the time, the enemy still has a chance to fight back, and now the second brother is here and said such a plan, didn't this old thing agree to it? If this is the case as soon as possible, where do you need the second brother to come, I, Li Yuanji, will be able to seize Hedong alone, which really makes the second brother come here more. ”

"It can't be said that ten days ago, the Turks still had an army of 60,000 or 70,000 people, strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass, even if we passed, these Turks would not pay attention to us. Now we are different, we have the upper hand, and how this war will be fought is also our say. Therefore, if you strike now, the old general will not object. Li Shimin frowned and explained.

"This king wants to see if Li Xin is really so powerful, and whether the army under Li Xin's command can really defeat our Li family's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry." Li Yuanji was disdainful and said: "Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo are really incompetent, 100,000 troops attacked Hedong City, and they have not been defeated yet, think about how much grain and grass they have consumed, how many bows and arrows they have consumed, in this case, they have not yet conquered Hedong City, how are they not incompetent." ”

"I can't say that, this also shows Su Dingfang's ability, 50,000 troops can hold out for so long in this situation, which is already very good. I heard that the trees around Hedong City, within a radius of fifty miles, have been cut down, and they have all been made by the Turks to attack the city. The Turks have learned a lot from us. ”

"This time, we must kill all these Turks." Li Yuanji's face was hideous, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, although the three brothers had a strong internal fight, they also knew that the Turks were their great enemies, so Li Yuanji was only sitting behind the Bird Mouse Valley these days, although he was bent on attacking Hedong, after a period of opposition from Qu Tutong, he was only dissatisfied with Qu Tutong, and did not attack Hedong, isn't it because he doesn't want the Turks to take advantage?

"It's good that you have this mind, this afternoon, will you lead the army to the battle? Li Xin's soldiers and horses have already set off from Luoyang, probably in the next few days, I have asked the eldest grandson Wuyi to monitor Li Xin's army, once we find that Li Xin's army has landed in Hedong, we will immediately retreat, let Li Xin help us destroy the Turks, anyway, we have also consumed tens of thousands of his troops in Hedong, enough to make him feel distressed for a while. ”

"Don't worry! I'm better at this kind of thing than you. Li Yuanji said casually.

"Hey, it's a pity, Qu Tu told the old man to return to his hometown, otherwise, this battle can be a little more graspable." Li Shimin looked at the big seal in front of him and said with a slight sigh.

"It's a blessing that he didn't die after he fell ill, second brother, your requirements are too high." Li Yuanji said indifferently: "I think there are many handsome men in my clan, Li Xiaogong has already come to the Sparrow Mouse Valley on the order of his father, and with him, he can also keep the Sparrow Mouse Valley alive." ”

"That's for the best." Li Shimin nodded, but he secretly sighed in his heart, Li Zhao's military power is mostly concentrated in the Li family's ancestors, but there are very few outsiders, which can certainly ensure the absolute control of military power, but in the same way, the loyalty of generals with foreign surnames is not guaranteed, these generals want to master the army, but there are not many opportunities in Li Zhao's army, and then look at Li Xin's army, that is, there is a world of difference, if it goes on like this, sooner or later there will be big problems, but unfortunately, Li Shimin has the heart to change all this, But he doesn't have any power to change all this, he can only solve some problems within his own ability.

"The clan is trustworthy, and the younger brother feels that his father's approach is quite correct." Li Yuanji's eyes rolled, this sentence was not only used to slap Li Yuan, but more importantly, he was also a member of the Li family, and the military power could not be fully controlled by Li Shimin, and he was also qualified.

"This time, our army is dispatched, and the direction of the main attack is Hedong City, as for those Turks, let them attack Guanzhong and wreak havoc on Chang'an, I believe that the Turks will definitely agree to this." Li Shimin didn't seem to understand the intention clearly, but was talking about other things, which made Li Yuanji very aggrieved.

"Let the Turks wreak havoc on Guanzhong?" Li Yuanji said with some dissatisfaction: "Why should such benefits be given to the Turks? Guanzhong has a lot of wealth and grain, and if the Turks are allowed to go, they don't know how much benefit they can get. ”

"Stupid, if not, how can we appease the anger of the Turks, then Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo are not simple characters, how can he not know our intentions, only in this way can he recover his losses. Moreover, the Turks have been very destructive, Li Xin will definitely not ignore these Turks, compared to Hedong, he still attaches importance to Guanzhong, so that his Luoyang reinforcements will attach importance to Guanzhong, and may even abandon Hedong. That's what we're for. Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said what he was thinking. Li Yuanji suddenly realized.

"Father, I didn't expect King Qin to even keep you." Qu Tushou looked at the city wall behind him with dissatisfaction, and the two Li Shimin brothers were still standing there, and he didn't have a good impression of Li Shimin.

"Stupid, how can you know King Qin's thoughts." Qu Tutong glared at his son fiercely and said, "But unfortunately, no matter how hard King Qin tries, this time I'm afraid King Qin miscalculated." ”

Why did my father say that? This time, the child sees that Da Zhao's victory is very likely, the King of Qin and the King of Qi have joined forces, and the soldiers and horses under their command are comparable to the defeated remnants of Su Dingfang. Even if Li Xin came to Hedong at this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to solve the current situation! Qu Tushou said with some curiosity.

"Stupid, what can you think of, Li Xin will not know?" Qu Tutong glanced around and said in a low voice: "Li Xin's brocade guard is so powerful, if you can't get it, Li Xin now knows that King Qin has come to the Bird Mouse Valley." How could he be unguarded? There are also Turks, Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo are not easy to talk to, they have already guarded against our Da Zhao, even if the King of Qin convinces the other party, these Turks may not seriously serve the King of Qin. Of course, the use of troops by the king of Qin is not comparable to ordinary people, if the guess is good, the king of Qin will definitely use the army of Dazhao to deal with Hedong, and then let the Turks' soldiers and horses raid Pujindu, attack Guanzhong, harass Guanzhong, so that Li Xin has to block the army brought by Luoyang to block the Turks. ”

Qu Tushou nodded after hearing this, with a hint of surprise on his face, at least he had never seen such a way of using troops, and now that he thinks about it, it can really make Li Xin busy. (To be continued......)
