I'm a marquis in Datang

When Li Shimin was attacking outside the city, he had been paying attention to the changes in the city.When Li Shimin got the news from Liu Heita, knowing that Liu Heita had not broken through any city gate in Quzhou County, a bright smile appeared on his face.

That's true!

Everything was as Du Qi expected.

And when Li Shimin broke through the county seat, the news spread quickly, to the camp where Li Jiancheng was located not far from the periphery.

Li Jiancheng became excited immediately.

The opportunity is coming!

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, and said, "Fourth, the king of Huai'an County, now that the county is broken, Liu Heitai will definitely break through next. Even if the King of Qin is chasing and intercepting him, Liu Heitai's combat power is not weak, and he will definitely come out." The two of you should be in position immediately, guard the important passages everywhere, and prepare to make a move."

"Yes!"

Li Yuanji and Li Shentong responded immediately.

Both had looks of anticipation on their faces.

Because this battle is going to be a meritorious service.

Xue Wanche was standing below, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, what will you do in the end?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Xue Qing, your task is the heaviest and most difficult. After Liu Heita was defeated and fled, the Turkic cavalry entrenched in Quzhou County are likely to come out to rescue. Your task is to lead the cavalry to support the surrounding area. .Once the Turkic cavalry comes out, you must hold them back. This king does not expect you to defeat the Turkic cavalry, but only hopes that you can hold them back."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wanche clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the mission will be completed in the end."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Let's all get busy."

"Yes!"

Li Yuanji, Li Shentong and Xue Wanche all answered.

The three of them went to work separately.

Li Jiancheng stood up at this time, with a bright smile on his face, he was looking forward to the victory of this battle.

Chapter 445 Bewitched

Bewitched

Li Yuanji and Li Shentong led their troops to leave the camp and set up a net around the county town.Now Li Yuanji and Li Shentong are stuck on the main road, as long as Liu Heitai escapes from the city, he cannot escape the pursuit of Li Yuanji and Li Shentong.

Both of them are waiting.

Time passed little by little.

A quarter of an hour is fleeting. At this time, Li Yuanji is not very anxious, because this is just the beginning, and there is nothing to be done for a quarter of an hour.But two quarters of an hour later, the sentry sent by Li Yuanji to monitor the movement of the county reported that Liu Heitai had not left the city during the whole process. As soon as the news came out, Li Yuanji frowned.

The county seat has already been breached, and Liu Heita should have left the city, but up to now, Liu Heita has not yet left the city, which is unlikely.

The situation is really puzzling.

Li Yuanji was worried, so he arranged a sentry and rushed to the county to find out the news.It didn't take long for the news to come back, and Liu Heita had already led his army to break through.

It's just that they didn't break out from the city, but chose to evacuate by water.

When the news came out, Li Yuanji was dumbfounded.

How can it be?

He waited bitterly outside the city, but he didn't expect that the other party had already evacuated, and he did so by water.

Li Yuanji felt aggrieved.

He had prepared so well, but in the end, Liu Heitai didn't come, which made him feel as if he had punched nothing, and his eyebrows were extremely uncomfortable.Li Yuanji withdrew his troops and immediately returned to the barracks, because he could not remember at this time.

When Li Yuanji returned, Li Shentong also came back.

Li Shentong also got the news.

Li Yuanji sighed and said, "Your Majesty of Huai'an, have you also heard the news of Liu Heita's evacuation by water?"

"Yes!"

Li Shentong nodded and answered.

Li Shen said: "I didn't expect that Liu Heita was so cunning. We all thought he broke out of the city, but we didn't expect him to break through the waterway in the city. Yes, the river in the city is about three feet wide. The widest place is at least four feet wide, which can accommodate ships to leave. Now that the current is strong, it is not difficult to evacuate."

Li Yuanji said: "Indeed!"

Li Shen said: "Let's go, first go to see the prince."

The two went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After seeing Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji explained the general situation, and Li Jiancheng's complexion darkened immediately, his face was full of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Damn Liu Heita, who escaped at this time."

After a pause, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, why didn't you deduce it? As long as it is confirmed that Liu Heitai broke through by water, we can easily win this battle. .”

Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness, this minister has neglected his duty."

At this moment, Wei Zheng felt helpless.

He is indeed the mastermind.

The problem is that he is not omnipotent. He didn't take this matter into account because he didn't think carefully.

Wei Zheng couldn't explain anything.

Seeing that Wei Zheng pleaded guilty and did not defend himself, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, Xuan Cheng, it's useless to hold you accountable. Tell me how to solve the current problem. Li Shimin originally broke Quzhou County, and he got the credit for that." , we took down Liu Heita, and the great merit is in our hands. But now that Liu Heita has escaped, Li Shimin has made another contribution. This time, we have gained nothing."

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, there is no other way at the moment, after all Liu Heita has escaped."

Li Jiancheng sighed dejectedly.

Li Shentong now has a deep hatred for the Qin Palace.Because of the eldest grandson Wugou's matchmaking, Du Qi and Li Xiaogong's family got engaged, and the Du family's rejection of his family's marriage proposal was tantamount to dishonoring him, and Du Ruhui belonged to Li Shimin.

Li Shentong wished that Li Shimin's life would be difficult.

Li Shen said: "His Royal Highness, Liu Heita was not captured this time. Although Liu Heita is cunning, in my opinion, the King of Qin also has an unshirkable responsibility."

Li Jiancheng said: "How to say?"

Li Shentong said seriously: "In the battle of Quzhou County, although Li Shimin broke Quzhou County, he obviously had the opportunity to take down Liu Heita in one go and completely solve the chaos in Hebei. But Liu Heita escaped, this is Li Shimin's problem The crown prince can take this opportunity to directly call Li Shimin to reprimand him and hold Li Shimin accountable."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid this is not good."

Li Shen said: "His Royal Highness still has a heart of benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and he still cares about brotherhood. However, since the day Li Shimin participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, Li Shimin has given up brotherhood."
