I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Shimin said: "That's what it means."

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, I want the latest battle report, as well as past news. I'll read all the news together."

"no problem!"

Li Shimin immediately arranged for people to gather all the battle reports in front of Du Qi.

After Du Qi took it over, he read it one by one.

He read all the battle reports, and finally closed his eyes and rested his mind, carefully thinking about all the clues.

"call!"

After a long while, Du Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

A bright light flashed in Du Qi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, in my opinion, your current situation is indeed not very good! The next step should be His Royal Highness, who will arrange for you to personally lead the army to attack Mingshui County."

Li Shimin said: "Why do you say that?"

Chapter 405 Judgment

thesis

Du Qidao: "His Royal Highness should be aware of the battle report sent during this period. Five days ago, it was Zhao County King Li Xiaogong who led an army to attack Mingshui County. Because the county is surrounded by rivers, it is difficult for our army to cross the river. Even after crossing the river, attack There are also considerable difficulties in Mingshui County, after all, Mingshui County is strong."

"So, Zhao County King Li Xiaogong failed."

"Four days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Liu Hongji to attack Mingshui County again, but it failed again in the end."

"Three days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Duan Zhixuan to attack, but it still failed."

"Two days ago, Li Jiancheng arranged for Yin Kaishan to attack Mingshui County. At that time, people from King Qin's family attacked Mingshui County successively, but they failed repeatedly. There were rumors in the army that the generals of King Qin's line were not worthy of the name."

"Public opinion is raging all of a sudden."

"Yin Kaishan led the army and went all out to attack, which proved the strength of the generals of the Qin Palace. They took risks and attacked them regardless of personal life and death. Yin Kaishan had already reached the top of the city, but he died in the battle in the end, and the offensive was complete. reduced to nothing."

"Just yesterday, Zhang Shigui led another army to attack the city, but he was still defeated."

Du Qi talked eloquently, and said: "From the beginning to the end, the people who attacked Mingshui County were all generals of the Qin Palace.

Anyone from the prince line.The most important thing is that during the siege, there was no support for King Qin's people, only a small number of soldiers and horses were given. "

"Such a constant consumption of the Qin Palace's troops."

"It has a great impact on the Qin Palace."

"Previously, the generals of Prince Qin's Mansion were asked to come forward, but the generals only lost face and lost their dignity. However, His Highness has never been involved. Looking at the prince's strategy, it should be to attack you."

"To weaken your prestige."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "A king of Qin who is invincible, and a king of Qin who loses in battles, and even a king who loses in battles

The failed King Qin's mansion went up and down.At that time, the whole army will think that the Prince Qin's Mansion is not invincible, which means that the influence of King Qin in the army will be weakened.Li Jiancheng didn't dare to frame the King of Qin, but he could justifiably weaken the King of Qin. "

Li Shimin fell silent after listening.

He hadn't thought of this.

During this period of time, Li Shimin has been unfavorable, passive everywhere, and didn't think clearly about what happened when he fell to the ground.Now after listening to Du Qi's words, Li Shimin suddenly realized.

This seems to be true.

This is the reason why there are no counselors around, no counselors to analyze the situation, no counselors to make suggestions, no counselors for Li Shi

For the people, it has a huge impact.Even though Li Shimin is resolute, brave and fearless, his resoluteness on the battlefield is often useless in the face of conspiracy and tricks.

So Li Shimin needs counselors.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, if the crown prince really joins the war, how should he deal with it?"

Du Qi said solemnly: "You can only participate in the war. If you refuse to participate in the war, it is tantamount to handing over the handle to Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng can hold His Highness accountable."

Li Shimin said: "But on the battlefield, but as you said, under the situation of insufficient troops, it is very likely that the casualties will be increased, and the prince will also count. According to your inference, then after I am defeated, the next step is The time when the prince ordered the general attack

,Is it right? "

"Yes!"

Du Qi nodded and answered.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, thinking about the trade-offs.

He does not understand.

It's just that I didn't think it through for a while, but now that I think it through, Li Shimin can make a decision.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and said after a while: "Since that's the case, we can only join the battle. As long as this king joins the battle, he must destroy Mingshui County and prevent the prince's plan from succeeding."

Du Qidao: "King Qin is wise, the only way to break the current situation is to use tyrannical force to break through Mingshui County and order Liu Heita to withdraw his troops. As long as King Qin wins this battle, even if Li Jiancheng is the coach, he will It's nothing if you don't take credit for beheading Liu Heitai, after all, the situation is unstoppable. It's just that fighting Liu Heitai in this battle is really a big loss."

"Yeah, the loss is huge."

Li Shimin's mood immediately dropped.

Li Daoxuan died in battle.

Luo Shixin died in battle.

Yin Kaishan died in battle.

Li Daoxuan was born in the clan, he was young, but he was good at fighting, and he was a member of the clan under Li Shimin's command.As for Luo Shixin and Yin Kaishan, they were both generals under Li Shimin's command, but they both died here.

The loss is too great.

Du Qi comforted: "Your Highness, you don't need to be sad. Everything today will be returned one by one in the future. After all, under the current situation, Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, who has taken the lead and has taken the lead, so that His Highness has nothing to do. Now Your Highness What we have to do is not only to establish achievements, but also to protect ourselves.”

Li Shimin said: "Erlang's words are like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which makes my king suddenly open."

Du Qidao: "Your Highness is in the middle of the game, so I can't figure it out. If Uncle Changsun and Uncle Fang were by your side, they would have given you some advice. Speaking of which, the two of them are now recruited to Li Jiancheng. Could it be that you can't go back to His Highness?"

"I can't come back!"

Li Shimin shook his head and answered.

He said in a deep voice: "Under the current situation, their actions are restricted under Li Jiancheng's command. Under such a situation, they are very passive."

Du Qidao: "It seems that if we want to let them come back, we have to wait until the end of this battle. But Li Jiancheng
