Hearing the three words of Shui Shui City, Zhang Chao suddenly had a bad feeling.

Isn't that the place where Luo Shixin died in battle? He crouched there, searching his mind for memories of the battle.

It seems that Li Shimin counterattacked Hebei at that time, and even won the battle, so many big households in Hebei began to embrace again, abandoning Liu Heimin to welcome Li Tang. When Liu Heimin was still fighting outside, Liu Heimin's base camp was only twenty miles east of the city of Zhuzhou, but a group of big families secretly took advantage of the emptiness in the rear to seize the city, and then sent people to ask the Tang army to send troops to take over.

When Li Shimin heard that there was such a good thing, of course he had to ask for it, not in vain.

So, a group of pioneers were sent to receive it.

As a result, Liu Heimin reacted very quickly, ****** it, and it paid off. Liu Heimin desperately rushed back, Liu Heimin's army has a characteristic of fighting, that is, it is very fast and fierce, and it can often be killed at an unexpected speed.

On the Tang army's side, Wang Junkuo had just entered the city of Lishui, and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others were still on the way, but they were intercepted by Liu Heimin, and the two sides fought fiercely by the Lishui River.

At that time, the wind and snow were all over, and Qin Qiong and the others were not numerous, and it was difficult to withstand the offensive of the Hebei rebels, but fortunately, Luo Shixin led a team of soldiers and horses to arrive, killed from the side, and rescued them. But it was already dark at this time, and Qin Qiong and the others could not break through and intercept into the water city, so they had to withdraw. Liu Heimin surrounded the city and attacked it in a hurry.

Li Shimin led the army to repel Liu Heimin, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, but he was repelled by Liu Heimin when he killed the city three times. There were only 1,500 people in the Wangjun Corridor in the city, and under the onslaught of Liu Heimin, there were heavy casualties in a few days, and it seemed that it would not be able to hold it.

Li Shimin was unwilling to give up this important town, which was so hard to get his hands on, and finally decided to launch another onslaught, and then cover a small elite army to enter the city while it was empty. In order to be able to achieve the effect of surprise, this force cannot be numerous.

In the end, Luo Shixin asked Ying and took the initiative to take over the task.

Luo Shixin entered the city, but Wang Junkuo asked to withdraw on the grounds that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and were extremely tired, and finally Li Shimin agreed to Wang Junkuo's evacuation.

After Luo Shixin entered the city, the weather changed abruptly and it snowed heavily. The Tang army's attack became more and more unfavorable, and Luo Shixin held on to the city for eight days, repelling countless attacks by the Hebei rebels, but Li Shimin's troops were blocked by Liu Heimin and could not pass outside the city.

On the eighth day, the city was finally broken, and Luo Shixin was captured alive, refused to surrender and was beheaded.

Ouch, how did you go around and around here again.

"Who did King Qin send to the water?" Zhang Chao grabbed the soldier who spoke.

The man was taken aback by Zhang Chao, but when he saw the silk armor on Zhang Chao's body, he hurriedly got up and saluted. Among those in the army who wore colorful silk armor, only Zhang from the medical battalion joined the army, and there was no one else.

"I've seen Zhang join the army.."

"Come on, has King Qin already sent someone to drain the water?"

"I've heard that several generals are vying to go, but it seems that there is no decision on who will go."

Zhang Chao realized that the person he pulled over was not an ordinary government soldier, it seemed that he was Li Shimin's guard in the tent, and he was also a character.

Hope was still too late, Zhang Chao threw him down and hurriedly ran to the Chinese military tent.

"The Chinese army is handsome, idlers are not allowed to enter, if there is any indiscriminate, kill them!"

Twenty steps away from the big account, a few soldiers put their spears down and aimed them at Zhang Chao, with cold eyes, Zhang Chao believed that if he took another step, they might really kill themselves with a spear.

"This is the medical battalion Doctor Zhang Xiao, you put away the guys, in case you accidentally hurt Doctor Zhang Xiao, you can't afford it."

A voice sounded, and a general in armor walked by.

But it was Hou Junji, the general of the chariot cavalry.

Waving his hand to let a few government soldiers retreat, Hou Junji said to Zhang Chao with a smile, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I have something important to do with King Qin?"

"King Qin is discussing with the generals, and now I'm afraid that I won't be available."

"General Hou, 100,000 urgent matters are related to the city of Zhushui."

As soon as he heard the three words of Shui Shui Cheng, Hou Junji suddenly became serious, "Shui Shui Cheng, what do you know?" ”

"Big deal."

Hou Junji looked at the big account, and then at Zhang Chao, today is his duty guard, just now he secretly sighed that he missed the opportunity to enter the water city.

After hesitating, he said, "Okay, I'll help you report it." ”

Hou Jun collected the big account, and Zhang Chao slowly calmed down.

He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake.

Why can't you enter the city of water? What about your own reasons?

If Li Shimin asked, how should he answer?

In the Chinese army's account, Li Shimin looked at Zhang Chao condescendingly, and looked at the set of silk armor on Zhang Chao's body, Li Shimin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

No officer in the whole army wore armor, even the secretary of the army. This Zhang Saburo is good, he has such a tall body in white, but he does not wear iron armor but silk armor in the army.

If it weren't for Nian Zhang Chao presiding over the medical camp, he would have done a good job, and Li Shimin would have kicked this kid back to his hometown in Guanzhong.

"Hou Junji said that you have something important to report, and you are still in a hurry, let's say, what is the important matter."

Zhang Chao stood there a little dumbfounded, he hadn't found any suitable excuse yet.

"You won't be joking with this king, there is no joke in the army, lying about the military situation, but it will be dealt with by military law." Li Shimin's voice became a little heavier.

Zhang Chao had no choice but to say helplessly, "King Qin, my subordinates feel that there is fraud in the matter of the water city, and they must be guarded against." ”

Li Shimin waited for a long time, waiting for such an answer, and couldn't help laughing.

The generals who were full of accounts couldn't help but laugh together.

Uncle Qin, Bao Luo Shixin and other elders of Zhang Chao all felt a little embarrassed, which one here is not experienced in a hundred battles, is it necessary for a doctor to teach them what it means to use soldiers?

"Your Highness, you must be on guard. The city is so important to the rebels, how could it suddenly be surrendered, there are really many doubts in this. ”

Li Shimin's big tent has a map of Hebei.

It's quite rudimentary, with a few lines, and then there are some city markers, and some signs of mountains, rivers and lakes, but there are no contour lines, no clear distances, etc., which looks like an abstract map.

Zhang Chao really admired these generals, who could actually look at such a map and march and fight.

Li Shimin didn't continue to laugh this time.

Since he started the army at the age of 16, Li Shimin has hardly fought a few defeats, although every time he is assisted by elite soldiers and strong generals, it is impossible to say that Li Shimin does not have the slightest ability.

Li Shimin's excellence lies in his ability to listen to other people's opinions, then seriously consider them, and finally make decisions.

This time, he led the army to attack, all the way to attack Liu Heimin's lair, and the progress was very smooth, and he was already approaching the city of Zhaozhou. But at this time, Zhang Chao's words made Li Shimin have to think seriously, is Liu Heimin really so easy to deal with?

If this is the case, the imperial court will not collapse here several times.

Li Shentong actually has a good ability to lead troops to fight, not to mention that Li Yi and Li Shiji are two experienced generals, they have been defeated by Liu Heimin, it should be said that Liu Heimin still has the ability.

It seems that he is a little too underestimated by the enemy, but he still feels that the surrender of the city is not a fraudulent surrender.

He has basically figured out the matter of the city of Zhushui, and in the face of the large-scale pressure of the Tang army, the troops are under the city of Zhaozhou. Liu Heimin's chariot cavalry general Li Qugan, hussar general Li Kaibi, and Li Pan bought a few water people, and slipped back to the water city twenty miles away by Liu Heimin.

They spread rumors that Liu Heimin had been defeated in Zhaozhou, and that they had fled.

Then he gathered more than 200 clan Qingzhuang, seized the city gate, took control of the city, and then sent people to take the small road to surrender to Li Shimin, and asked the Tang army to send troops to take over the city.

Li Kaibi and the others are all children of the Li family, a big clan in Zhushui City, and these people judged that Liu Heimin would be defeated, so they had this bold move.

Li Shimin didn't want to miss this opportunity, and the city was quite important. After capturing the city of Zhushui, there will be one less acropolis in Zhouzhou, and at the same time, the Tang army will have one more strong stronghold.

"Then you mean not to send troops to the city of water?"

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Chao and wondered how he would answer?

"Back to the King of Qin, the city of Zhushui is dedicated to the annex, and it will definitely not be hidden for long. When our army sends people to go, I am afraid that Liu Heimin has already led the army to fight. And judging from the map, Liu Heimin is obviously closer than us and is more familiar with geography. ”

Zhang Chao organized his thoughts in his mind, and slowly became clear.

"The city should send someone to collect it, but you have to beware of Liu Heimin. You can send a light cavalry to drive the small road to receive the city of water, and then the army will set up an ambush halfway to besiege the city and send reinforcements! ”

This answer greatly surprised Li Shimin's expectations, he didn't expect Zhang Chao to have such insight, which is already a very good overall view.

Although Zhang Chao said something empty, Li Shimin still praised him with a smile.

In fact, what Zhang Chao wanted to say in his heart was to ignore the water city, as long as the imperial army concentrated on surrounding the city of Zhaozhou, surrounding Liu Heimin, and then sending Luo Yi and Li Shiji, the two partial divisions, to sweep around the other states and counties occupied by the Hebei rebels, disintegrate the peripheral forces of the rebels one by one, and cut off their minions, then of course Liu Heimin could not hold it.

In a protracted war, Liu Heimin will definitely not be able to last long to deal with the entire Tang Dynasty with several states, and it will only be the Tang army that wins. Don't look at Liu Heimin's army fighting very fiercely, but no matter how fierce it is, you have to eat.

Surround them and cut off their food and grass supply, how long can Liu Heimin hold on?

At that time, he will be a sleepy tiger and a hungry tiger, and he will die of hunger without beating himself.

It's just that Li Shimin is now leading a large army to come, and his troops are sharp, and he is definitely unwilling to choose this more conservative style of play. He wanted to seize the water city, just so that he could be more active in forcing Liu Heimin to fight a decisive battle.

"Your words, this king will consider it, okay, now this king is going to continue to discuss with the generals, you can retreat." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Zhang Chao pursed his lips and could only retreat honestly, he was not qualified enough to participate in the military conference. (To be continued.) )
