Wet Prince?

Fang Xuanling was slightly stunned, and for the time being, he pressed down what he wanted to say, and said suspiciously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty what is the good news?" ”

"Could it be that the Turks have been defeated?"

If that's the case, that's good news.

In this way, the army that was transferred to the frontier could also return to Chang'an, and even if the Han prince wanted to rebel, he would not dare to act rashly.

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course it didn't go so well, but it was also a great achievement." ”

After that, Li Shimin handed the battle report to the eunuch.

After Fang Xuanling carefully read the battle report, his face also showed a hint of joy, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, "Okay, it's really a great event, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: "I have to say that Zhen'er really gave me a bad breath this time. ”

"Comfortable, my heart is finally more comfortable."

Hearing His Majesty say this, Fang Xuanling also laughed a little far-fetched.

Your Majesty finally felt at ease, and he was about to add to the blockage......

"By the way, Master Fang came in a hurry in the middle of the night, what's the matter?" While Li Shimin was happy, he also remembered this incident.

Although Fang Xuanling was entangled in his heart, he still gritted his teeth, took out the secret letter from his arms, and slowly went up.

Then he stepped aside and closed his eyes.

He seemed to have anticipated His Majesty's furious look.

There was silence in the Manna Temple.

There was no sound for a long time.

Quiet.

The silence of the pin drop can be heard.

Fang Xuanling could even hear the sound of his own breathing.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling finally heard the sound of the letter being placed on the table.

At the same time, Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly, without anger, and was extremely flat, "I know, you can step down." ”

Fang Xuanling was shocked, he raised his head in disbelief, but saw His Majesty's indifferent face.

It seems that there is nothing to surprise him about the content of this letter.

And yet that night.

Garrisoned ten miles away from Chang'an City, the army led by Hou Junji suddenly received a holy decree.

and let them go another thirty miles.

Just after Hou Junji's army entered thirty miles, the gate of Chang'an was hung up.

On the city tower, the Xuanwu army guarding the imperial city climbed the city tower one after another, waiting for the battle.

At this time, Li Jing led the army forward despite the dissuasion of Wei Chi Jingde.

The army was stationed in the Evil Sun Ridge.

"General Li, if you do this, you will undoubtedly set yourself on fire."

Wei Chi Jingde sighed, shook his head and said, "Evil Yang Ridge is only twenty miles away from Xiangcheng, this distance, if the Turks suddenly rush out of the city. ”

"Our army will only be defeated."

Li Jing shook his head.

He did not hide this march, but stationed in the Evil Sun Ridge openly.

In order to make the Turks misjudge the military strength of the Tang Dynasty.

But what Wei Chi Jingde said is not unreasonable, if the Turks are not suspicious, they really rush out.

Then with Li Jing's current strength of 4,000 cavalry, it would be easy to be defeated.

"Always pay attention to the movements of Xiangcheng, and report the whereabouts of the Turkic cavalry immediately."

Li Jing calmly gave the order.

And as soon as his voice fell, Tanma, who had gone to inquire about the news, rushed back in a panic.

"General, there are Turkic cavalry coming from the northeast."

Li Jing choked in his heart, and hurriedly asked Cheng Yanjin to lead people to touch the northeast.

After a while, Cheng Yanjin rushed back, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in a low voice: "It's just the forward scouts of the Turks, more than a dozen people." ”

"I guess I also noticed that we were stationed here and wanted to find out the news."

Li Jing nodded and said, "Don't startle the snakes, they don't dare to approach if they want to." ”

"If they do come close, capture them."

Maybe it's because there are too many things on your mind, or maybe it's the first time you're so close to the main battlefield.

This night, Qin Shou tossed and turned, and slept very unsteadily.

Early the next morning, Qin Shou got up early.

And Li Jing had already woken up for a long time, and when he saw Qin Shou walking into the handsome tent, he beckoned Qin Shou to come over and said: "Lord, how do you think you should capture Xiangcheng?" ”

Previously, in Mayi City, Qin Shou just listened quietly from the sidelines and did not make any suggestions.

At this time, there were only two of them in the tent, and Li Jing wanted to hear his thoughts.

Qin Shou didn't hide it, and said decisively: "Fight quickly, so as not to drag Jieli's army to the intersection of Xiangcheng." ”

"If you really want me to say it, it will be attacked at night."

After Li Jing heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Three thousand horsemen, it is a little difficult to capture Xiangcheng. ”

Qin Shou nodded, then pointed to the east side of Xiangcheng and said, "Now that the Turks know that we are stationed in the Evil Yang Ridge, they will naturally send heavy troops at the south gate of the Evil Yang Ridge. ”

"Although the troops on the north side are weak, we don't know where the Jieli army is going for the time being, and if we rashly lead troops to attack the city from the north side, we are very likely to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs."

"The west side is the plain, from here to attack the city, the Turks are condescending, and it is naturally a fool's dream to attack the city."

"In this way, only the east side is the key to breaking the city."

Li Jing frowned and said: "The east side is full of mountains, let alone attacking the city, even the march is extremely inconvenient. ”

"It is precisely this that the Turks will definitely not send heavy troops to guard the eastern flank." Qin Shou immediately said: "The terrain of the temple mountain on the east side is high, which is just right to set up siege crossbows. ”

"General, you only need to lead the soldiers to call the battle on the south side, and you don't need to really attack."

"And then send someone to make a sudden attack from the north side..."

Hearing this, Li Jing also felt that there was some truth and nodded secretly.

But that being said.

Who should be sent?

Li Jing immediately thought of Zhang Gongjin.

Now that Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde have been arranged by Li Jing to lead troops into battle, if there is a sudden change, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the battle plan.

But Zhang Gongjin and Li Jing were also a little hesitant.

Although Zhang Gongjin is brave and strategic, he is not very good at attacking the city.

As for Qin Shou, he was immediately excluded by Li Jing.

Just kidding, Qin Shou is a wet prince, if he returns to Chang'an this time, if he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds, it is very likely that he will break his wrist with the prince.

Of course, he couldn't put Qin Shou's life at risk.

However, Qin Shou didn't think so.

"General Li, about the siege of Sishan on the west side of Xiangcheng, I think..."

Before Qin Shou's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Jing waving his hand.

Li Jing looked at Qin Shou and sighed, "I know that the prince wants to capture Xiangcheng, but this battle is too dangerous. ”

"It is safer for the prince to sit in the army."

The meaning of these words is not only that Qin Shou is not allowed to lead troops to attack from Sishan, but he also does not want Qin Shou to participate in the frontal battlefield.

Although Qin Shou was very grateful to Li Jing for wanting to protect his mind, but at the moment of the great enemy, if this battle failed, how could he be left alone?

Moreover, there is experience in attacking Yongzhou City, and the Xiangcheng City Tower is not as high as Yongzhou City, and it is the east side where the troops are weak.

Qin Shou was confident that he could lead his army into the city.
