Because the Ning family promised to hand over Cen Mingxiu, Li Shimin did not kill any more people in the next five days, and waited until Su Lie came back.

"Dingfang sits in the city, I will lead an army by myself, and go out of the city to make a show," Li Shimin began to put on his armor.

Su Lie frowned and said, "It's the first time I've gone out with the army, so don't take any risks, let me go." ”

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, there is no first time, there is no second time, I judge that Cen Mingxiu is watching at the moment, only if we have a direct conflict with Ning Chun's army, can we force him to make a choice, if he is a smart person, he will lead the army south and attack Ning Chun with me." ”

"What if he doesn't come?" Wei Chi Jingde said curiously.

Li Shimin smiled: "Who will be unable to live with their own lives, now is Cen Mingxiu's best opportunity, if he can defeat Ning Chun with me, he will be guilty of meritorious service, and the benefits are indispensable, if he doesn't come, he will have a falling out with the Ning family, and he will be an enemy of the imperial court, a smart person will not put himself in such a dangerous situation, after all, he is also an anti-thief leader, and he is stupid." ”

Su Lie nodded: "You still have to be careful, Yu Chi Jingde and He Cheng bite the gold, you must protect the safety of the horses." ”

Both nodded at the same time.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin personally took 1,200 people out of the city, he did have some martial arts, but not much, that is, the attainments in the bow and arrow were very unusual, and the riding skills were naturally good.

When Yang Ming first met Shimin, the other party was holding a simple wooden bow in his hand, which shows that Shimin likes archery since he was a child.

After leaving the city, Li Shimin directly led the cavalry team to rush towards the camp outside the city, and caught the unprepared Ning Chun's uncle and nephew off guard.

What does this kid want to do? Why is it surprising every time?

Just rushed and killed in the periphery for a while, Li Shimin led the soldiers around the camp and shouted, saying that the Ning family rebelled, everyone would be punished, and those who killed Ning Chun would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan.

After a short period of psychological warfare, Li Shimin went home, and the Ning family did not dare to engage in the battle at all.

Ning Chun hurriedly sent a messenger into the city to inquire about the situation, which one are you singing? Haven't we all discussed? Why did we become thieves?

"How many days have it been, hasn't there been any movement on Cen Mingxiu's side?" Li Shimin asked the envoy Mo Chendao.

Mo Chen's face was ugly and said, "Let's not talk about Cen Mingxiu, what does the colt mean this morning?" is a good rush to the front, and slanders our coach as a thief, you have to give us an explanation. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "My people returned, in the direction of Cangwu County, Cen Mingxiu did not make any movement, you are perfunctory to me, since you can't hand over Cen Mingxiu, then I can only lead Cen Mingxiu to take the initiative to go south." ”

Mo Chen frowned and said, "What kind of seduction method?" It's this one of today's horses, is it tempting? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I have a bad relationship with Ning Taishou and call you anti-thieves, and the real anti-thief Cen Mingxiu, what do you think he will think after he knows it?" He is just your puppet, and now that I declare to the outside world that the Ning family is the anti-thief, will he take this opportunity to fight against the Ning family? ”

Mo Chen subconsciously swallowed his saliva, dumbfounded.

They have actually received the news that Cen Mingxiu has started a purge in the army, and all the generals of the Ning family have been controlled, so it can be seen that Cen Mingxiu is gradually getting out of control and is suspicious of the Ning family.

But Mo Chen definitely didn't dare to tell Li Shimin about this, otherwise Li Shimin would inevitably contact Cen Mingxiu in private, which would be extremely unfavorable to them.

A hairy boy, how long has he been here, and he has made them so passive, which Mo Chen didn't expect at all.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Li Shimin continued: "In the next few days, I will be like today, bitter and bitter, if you want to act, you can act more realistically, if Cen Mingxiu is fooled and goes south, you and I will work together to destroy the traitor in one fell swoop, and bring my words to the two Taishou." ”

What else could Mo Chen say? When the messenger is in this position, it can be regarded as a complete bag, and his three-inch incorruptible tongue can't be played at all, and he has always been led by the other party's nose.

After the people left, Su Lie couldn't help but sigh: "Although the horse is young, it has won the hearts of the people, you have now successfully made the Ning family and the Cen family suspicious of each other, we have already held the initiative in our hands, it depends on whether to deal with the Ning family or Cen Mingxiu." ”

Li Shimin laughed, patted his leg and said:

"I'm this, I learned from the King of Qin, the King of Qin was taught the art of war by Duke Lu and Duke Xiuwu, and summed up the two-word mantra, I deeply believe that before the war, it is called calculation, and after the fight, it is called deception, and the head-on decisive battle is never the first choice."

Lu Gong is Shi Wansui, Xiu Wu Gong is Yang Yue, these two people's way of using soldiers can be described as one rigid and one soft, Yang Rui studied under the two, and it can be regarded as a combination of rigidity and softness.

Don't underestimate Yang Yue, people are no worse than Shi Wansui.

"Taught," Su Dingfang smiled and nodded: "So if Cen Mingxiu goes south, will we join Cen to fight Ning, or Lianning to fight Cen?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The Cen family, but there is only one county in Yulin, and the Ning family has controlled Guizhou for generations, the former is not a problem, and the latter is a disease of the henchmen. ”

Su Lie smiled and didn't say anything more, no wonder the prince let this kid read to the prince, it's really powerful, the prince's eyes are really poisonous.

In the next few days, Li Shimin will lead his troops out every day to call for battle, and Ning Chun's side will also send some people to make a show, it doesn't matter if there are a few casualties, as long as he can lure Cen Mingxiu, a big fish, over.

Ning Chun's uncle and nephew are already very worried about Cen Mingxiu at the moment, and the envoy sent out to contact the other party has returned, Cen Mingxiu said that he can't get out, what is the arrangement, just send a secret envoy to send him a message.

Ning Chun felt that something was wrong at that time, because Cen Mingxiu, who was originally his old subordinate, used to be obedient to him, but now he is leading the army alone, and he is already sitting big, and he is gradually out of control.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, Ning Chun plans to get rid of Cen Mingxiu and support another puppet, Cen Mingxiu is no longer trustworthy.

So he sent a secret envoy to inform Cen Mingxiu that he planned to recapture Qinjiang City with all his might, and asked Cen Mingxiu to send troops to help.

Cen Mingxiu did come, and personally led 30,000 people south, heading straight to the Ning family's camp.

And Li Shimin, who received the news, personally led two thousand elite cavalry, hiding in the woods ten miles north of the county seat, he made an appointment with the Ning family, the Ning family was responsible for carrying it in front, and he was responsible for ambushing Cen Mingxiu's Chinese army.

The Ning family reorganized their troops and horses, and set up a formation towards the north, preparing to hit Cen Mingxiu by surprise, but as a result, Cen Mingxiu's family also came prepared, and as soon as the armies of the two sides came into contact, it was a full-scale war.

This place in Lingnan was originally the most capable of internal strife in the entire Great Sui, and the tribes often fought and killed each other, if it weren't for Mrs. Xian to unify Lingnan and determine the Lingnan regime with the three major tribes as the core, this place would be able to fight every day.

Originally, everything was within Li Shimin's plan, but the sky is not as good as the people, and he did not expect that the army in the direction of Guangzhou would come so quickly.

I don't know who is leading the army on the other side, but almost 20,000 soldiers and horses have already entered Ningyue County.

Originally, a pot of rice was prepared, but now there is another person to eat, Li Shimin did not panic at all, and after a short silence, he directly led the army and went in the direction of the Guangzhou army.

Ning Chun and Cen Mingxiu, let them fight first, the army from Guangzhou is an unstable factor, and it must be suppressed first.

Two thousand cavalry troops were deployed on a plain, and the army was extremely majestic.

The best guards, the best equipment, the best horses, and one of the best commanders in history, so its combat effectiveness cannot be judged by the number of people.

When the distant army approached, Li Shimin only took Su Dingfang and Wei Chi Jingde, rode his horse and left the battle, and did not stop until he was close to the range of the bow and arrow.

Obviously he just wanted to meet, and Tan Rong, the coach on the other side, also rode out with a few of his subordinates to meet with Li Shimin.

"Your Excellency's emblem, it should be from the left and right Beishen Mansion, I don't know the name of the little general?" Tan Rong said very politely.

The people and horses on both sides are doing shady things, and the military flags that show the number are hidden, and no one can figure out where the other party is coming from.

But after Tan Rong approached, he saw the emblem on the shoulders of Li Shimin and the three of them, the black tiger head, because the left and right preparation mansions were newly added after the restructuring of the military government, and its nature was the same as that of the Han Dynasty's palace guards Tiger Ben Army, so the emblem was a tiger head.

Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "Where did you come from?" Feng An's people? ”

Tan Rong smiled, it was inconvenient to answer honestly, and said, "What is the Reserve Mansion doing here?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a counterinsurgency, about twenty miles away from here, Ning Chunning and Daoming, the two Taishou, have already fought with the rebel Cen Mingxiu, if you are Feng An's person, go and help quell the rebellion, if not, let me go." ”

So am I or not? Tan Rong couldn't make up his mind all of a sudden:

"How the battle is going on ahead, you can't just rely on the general's words, I have to send scouts to find out, if it is true, Ben will decide."

"Please!" Li Shimin raised it and signaled that the other party could send someone over to investigate.

Tan Rong arched his hand, turned his horse's head, returned to his headquarters, and sent dozens of spies to bypass Li Shimin's defense line and go in the direction of Qinjiang County.

"It's a mess now, our original intention was to clean up the Ning family, as soon as the Feng family arrives, Cen Mingxiu will have an accident instead, what can we do?" Su Lie sat on his horse and asked with a frown.

Li Shimin smiled: "Don't worry, these people won't interfere, they will see the Ningcen family fighting, but they won't know why they are fighting, when the situation is unknown, they will never use troops rashly, I guess he will pretend to be stupid, and then withdraw his troops." ”

Sure enough, when it was time for the next day, Tan Rong came over to meet Li Shimin again and said:

"The armies on both sides have not seen the number, and the general can't listen to the words of the little general's family, so he thinks that the Ning family is fighting with the rebels.

Li Shimin nodded: "Then get out." ”

Tan Rongwei was stunned and said with a smile: "The little general has never been so polite when he speaks?" ”

Li Shimin turned around on his horse and turned around: "You have seen the Beishen Mansion, will you talk politely to people?" Drive! ”

After that, Li Shimin rode away.

Tan Rong's eyes narrowed, looked at the back of the other party leaving, and said in his heart: This kid is so arrogant, there must be something to rely on, I am afraid that there will be an army of the imperial court hoarding nearby, I better be honest and watch from the wall, otherwise if I am not careful, I will lose all the plates.

The Ning family won't even be able to clean up Cen Mingxiu, right?
