I'm a marquis in Datang

"We are going to attack Liu Heita this time. The army under my king's command is nearly [-] elite."

"The most important thing is that these old brothers are back. Although there are still some people, they are still suppressed by the prince. But for us, the overall situation is still good."

Li Shimin's joy was beyond words.

Du Qi said: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Li Shimin said: "All of this is inseparable from Erlang's plan. Next, Erlang will need your plan."

Du Qidao: "There is no shirking the responsibility."

Li Shimin said seriously: "How do we break the situation now?"

Du Qidao: "Your Highness wants to break the situation, at least know yourself and the enemy. We only know now that the Turks and Liu Heitai got mixed up. The question is who is the leader of the Turkic side, how many Turkic cavalry are there, and the Turks and Liu Heitai cooperated. What is the extent? Even, how many troops does Liu Heitai have, and where will he be stationed next?

What connections do some of the surrounding states have.These are all pieces of information that need to be investigated. If there is not even a little bit of information, how can we talk about sending troops? "

A series of words came out of Du Qi's mouth.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You are right. We must win this battle when we send troops. Earlier in the prince's camp, the prince asked me to issue a military order. If I don't win, I will be dealt with by military law. But this king refused, and finally the prince agreed to let me go. Li Xiaogong and others will fight with me."

Du Qidao: "His Royal Highness, you can now gather troops to prepare to send troops. As for the speed of sending troops, you don't have to be fast. You can go on your way while looking for news. In short, you must find out all the news before you meet Liu Heitai."

Li Shimin said: "Of course."

Du Qi continued: "However, for this battle, the most critical weapons, food, and corresponding equipment must all be properly arranged. Although these things are not decisive factors on the battlefield, they are still very important. Because our battle , is to break away from the army and fight, we must make sufficient preparations."

"Of course!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Under the current situation, Li Shimin knew that everything must be properly arranged.

After all, Li Jiancheng is not a good person.

All have to be prepared.

The two discussed the details of various aspects, and at this time another soldier entered, reporting

Report: "Your Highness, Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji are asking to see you."

"Please!"

Li Shimin gave an order.

When the soldiers went to pass the order, Li Shimin asked, "Erlang, do you want to avoid it?"

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, there is no need for this. Whether it is King Zhao, Duan Zhixuan, or Liu Hongji, they are all direct descendants of your subordinates, so there is no need to worry about that. Let them know of my existence. It's peace of mind."

Li Shimin nodded and said no more.

After a while, they entered one by one.

When Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji entered, the three of them were surprised for a moment when they saw Du Qi sitting in the tent, because after Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were transferred away, Li Shimin's side was now Few people.

After all, many people from Tiance Mansion are in Chang'an.

Not by Li Shimin's side.

Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji entered, and after saluting to Li Shimin, the three of them took their seats.

Du Qi nodded to Li Xiaogong and the others. After all, Du Qi's identity is not Li Xiaogong's future son-in-law, nor is it the younger generation of Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and others. Du Qi is Li Shimin's current adviser.

Don't talk about personal affairs.

Only on business.

On the contrary, Li Xiaogong asked with a smile: "Your Highness, when did Du Qi come to Mingshui County?"

Li Shimin said: "Erlang arrived before the attack on Mingshui County. This time the attack on Mingshui County was planned by Erlang. Now that Wuji, Xuanling and others are away, Erlang is the mastermind and responsible for making plans."

Li Xiaogong nodded and smiled lightly.

Everything is clear.

The look on his face is quite proud, the reason is very simple, Du Qi is his future son-in-law.Once Du Qi becomes an adult, he will marry Li Yanyun. At that time, the relationship between the Du family and the Li family will be even closer.

Li Xiaogong said: "Your Highness, we have all been ordered to follow your arrangement. So how do we go to war with Liu Heita now? To attack Liu Heita, we need a charter plan."

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji also spoke together.

They are responsible for commanding and fighting on the battlefield, and it is the job of the counselors to plan and plan.

Li Shimin said: "The king and Erlang have discussed this matter just now. We don't know anything about the situation of Liu Heita and the situation of the Turks for the time being. Arrange sentries to investigate first, and we will lead the army out of the city. It doesn't matter." Just hurry. In short, don’t go to war until the news is incomplete. Get detailed information and make it again

Make a battle plan. "

Li Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji also nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin continued: "Go and mobilize your respective troops and rest overnight. In the early morning of tomorrow, the army will set off to pursue Liu Heita's army."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After Li Xiaogong and others left, only Li Shimin and Du Qi were left in the camp.

Du Qi said seriously: "Your Highness, I have another question."

Li Shimin said: "Say it!"

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has been fighting with the crown prince for many years. Could it be that up to now, no one has been placed by Li Jiancheng's side. In other words, haven't you bought someone who can be used?"

"no!"

Li Shimin shook his head and answered.

He and Li Jiancheng have a dispute. In fact, it is only limited to Li Jiancheng's suppression of him, and it has not yet reached a feverish stage, so Li Shimin has not yet made arrangements.

Regardless of whether Li Shimin's words were true or false, Du Qi said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, it is time to set up a separate intelligence agency to be responsible for instigating rebellion and placing internal responses. Knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning a hundred battles is all about intelligence. If you don't even have basic intelligence, Even Prince Li Jiancheng's actions are beyond the control of King Qin. It is almost impossible to seize the heir

Things. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin sat up straight.

There is a look of solemnity in the eyes.

He told Du Qi earlier that he didn't buy anyone who was available, and he didn't make arrangements, so he really didn't make arrangements.Because Li Shimin's main energy is now focused on calming down the Quartet.
