I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Shimin said: "Since Erlang can't figure it out, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. Now, we only need to break Quzhou County with all our strength. The meritorious service of beheading Liu Heitai is determined by the sky. At that time, everything will depend on it." luck."

Li Xiaogong said: "This is the only way to do it."

Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth, rubbed his fists and said: "Our people don't need the prince to be weak. All the soldiers under the prince's command are cowards. Therefore, we will definitely win this battle. We must take Liu Heita's head. gone."

Liu Hongji said: "We must take down Liu Heita."

In a war, it depends on the final result.

When it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, it is clear that the person who took down Liu Heitao can obtain the greatest merit.

"call!!"

The curtain of the tent was raised.

At this time, it was soldiers from the army who entered.

The soldier held a plate with both hands, and on it were bowls of fish soup that was as white as milk suet.

As the soldier walked, he said, "Your Highness, this is the crucian carp soup that the chef has just stewed. These crucian carp are from

There is only a small amount of fish soup caught in the dark water. "

After speaking, the soldiers gave each of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Du Qi and others a bowl.

The soup color of the fish soup is excellent.

Li Shimin drank a bowl, and a bright smile appeared on his face. The fish soup was stewed extremely well, indeed very good.But at this time, after Du Qi drank a bowl of fish soup, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have thought of a way. In fact, we all thought wrong before."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and after the soldiers retreated, Li Shimin said: "Erlang, what method do you think of to take down Liu Heita?"

Du Qi leaned forward slightly, and said: "Just now we were thinking about how to deal with Liu Heita, but in fact, we all expected that Liu Heita would escape from Quzhou County."

"Actually, Liu Heita is an extremely cunning person. He leads troops to occupy Quzhou County, so he should know that only His Highness's troops and the Prince's troops are outside to attack Quzhou County."

"Even if Liu Heita withdraws from Quzhou County, it is almost impossible for him to escape."

Du Qi said: "Under such a premise, if His Highness is Liu Heita, will he continue to go out of the city to break through?"

Li Shimin said seriously: "Going out of the city to break through is the only way. There is no choice at all. Is it possible?

Is there any other way to break out? "

Du Qidao: "If I were Liu Heita, once I entered Quzhou County, I would choose a retreat route to ensure that if Quzhou County could not hold it, I could evacuate at any time. After all, Mingshui County may fall, so arrange a retreat route , is the best choice.”

Li Shimin said: "Where do you think Liu Heita's retreat is?"

"waterway!"

Du Qi answered firmly.

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others all had expressions of surprise on their faces.They never thought that Du Qi would propose such an arrangement. After thinking about it carefully, it was even more reasonable.

Du Qi continued: "The branches of the Hemingshui River run through the entire county from south to north. Because the entrance of the river is fenced, it is difficult for our people to invade."

Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up, and he said: "I understand. If we can't get in, it doesn't mean that Liu Heitai can't get out. At that time, Liu Heitai can take down the fence and leave quickly. The most important thing is that the water flow is fast. Liu Heita left by boat, and he can leave completely. So I think this is Liu Heita's way of retreat."

After hearing Du Qi's analysis, Li Shimin immediately understood. After all, Li Shimin also had his own judgment.

He agreed with Du Qi's analysis.

Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he said: "If Liu Heita is an incompetent person, it is impossible for him to stand up to this day. Such a person

There must be a way out for Liu Heita.Waterways are the most suitable. "

Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji also nodded in agreement.

Everyone agrees with Du Qi.

Li Shimin said: "Since that's the case, this is the plan."

"Duan Zhixuan!"

Li Shimin gave an order.

"exist!"

Duan Zhixuan replied immediately.

Li Shimin said: "This king will give you two thousand infantry and one thousand black-armored elite cavalry to go to the lower reaches of the north of Mingshui City, and set up an ambush to stop Liu Heita. How to subdue you is up to you. I just want the result."

Duan Zhixuan clasped his fists and said, "The general obeys orders!"

"Report!"

Outside the camp, the voices of soldiers sounded.

The curtain of the camp tent was raised, and the soldiers reported after entering, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please!"

Chapter 443

Prelude to war

"understood."

Li Shimin replied.

After the soldiers withdrew, Li Shimin said: "At night, Li Jiancheng invited the king again. I don't know what the purpose is. I'll go and meet him first, and see what he has to say."

Du Qidao: "His Royal Highness, let's go, a little more thought."

Li Shimin said: "This king knows."

He changed into a formal robe and armor, and went straight to the Datang barracks behind.Li Shimin entered the prince's camp, stood still and glanced in his eyes, but he didn't see Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, and even Wei Zheng from before was not there.

Li Shimin said: "The crown prince summoned me, what is the important matter?"

Li Jiancheng said: "King Qin, the purpose of my prince's invitation to come here is for the next battle. How you attack Quzhou County, this prince has no control, but you must take Quzhou County."

"Now, the prince has already set up a net near Quzhou County, blocking Liu Heita's retreat after Quzhou County was broken. So the next task is that you lead the army to attack the county. After breaking the county, you are still in charge. Take control of the county seat, as for the area outside the city, the crown prince will take over."

Li Jiancheng gave the order without hesitation.

Li Shimin sneered in his heart.

Again!

Li Jiancheng came to pick peaches again.
