Hearing Liu Hongji say this, Fang Xuanling said: "Brother Liu's worries are not groundless, Brother Keming, what do you think of this matter?" ”

On the side, Du Ruhui was wearing thick felt, looking a little frail, but no one in the audience dared to underestimate the wisdom contained in this frail body.

Du Ruhui coughed lightly a few times and said: "Judging from the current situation, as long as Lord Zhao does not capture Yongnian City for a day, then it will be impossible for him to cross south for a day. ”

"What if we take Yongnian City? We can't put our hopes on how long Liu Heimin can hold on. Liu Hongji asked.

Du Ruyan said: "You are right, it is up to you to succeed, and you can't ask for others, but even if the Zhao army captures Yongnian City, Lord Zhao will have time to digest the land of Hebei, win over the Hebei Shi clan, clean up Liu Heimin, Yu Wenhua and the rest of his henchmen, and make good friends with Shandong Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong, these are not things that can be done in a few months." ”

Hearing Du Ruhui say this, everyone nodded.

"However," Du Ruhui changed his words, "but if Li Chongjiu really digests the land of Hebei and invades the south with all his might, then we must also prepare first." ”

"Dare to ask where to prepare?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Du Ruhui coughed a few more times, his face was even more pale, and he said contemplatively: "First Hanoi, Huaizhou, Heyang, which is owned by Wang Shichong. Huaizhou is the only place in Zheng Guo north of the Yellow River, and the three cities of Heyang, which lead to Hanoi in the north and Luoyang in the south. If our army can break through this place, that is, the passage north of Luoyang, the danger of the whole Yellow River, the shilling Zhao army can not go up the river and reinforce Luoyang. ”

"Good!" Li Shimin clasped his hands and said.

Du Ru said obscurely: "But capture Huaizhou and Heyang." It was only the first step, Wang Shichong was trapped in Luoyang with heavy troops. But if you can't attack a city in ten ways, you can't attack it. Then they must be deprived of their aid and their food. If you can get back Luo, Luokou, and Hanjia Sancang, then not only can you cut off the Luoyang grain road, but also can invest in our army, so as to avoid the pain of thousands of miles of transportation in Guanzhong. There are many people in Luoyang City and there is little food, and the day will be broken. ”

The public will listen to Du Ruhui's words, and Du Ruhui's opinion is that Luoyang will never help. The second is to cut off the grain of Luoyang, which can be described as insightful.

"I think if I can do these two, Luoyang City has already been captured." Liu Hongji said with a loud smile that it is not difficult to use the military strength of the Tang Army now, so he is very optimistic.

"That's all well and good, but it's not a foolproof solution." Du Ru said obscurely.

"What is a truly complete strategy?" Liu Hongji couldn't help asking.

Du Ruhui took a bamboo stick and fluctuated in the fire, and said: "To extinguish the fire, you must lose your salary, and if you want to truly extinguish the fire of the king, you must capture the tiger prison." No way back to the East. ”

Hearing the word tiger prison, Li Shimin's tiger eyes moved. Liu Hongji said: "Tiger prison, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other here, and the battle was seventy. In the forty small battles, Liu Bang had to hold on to the danger, so that the overlord of Chu could not go further. ”

"Exactly. The Tiger Prison can not only prevent the king from returning to the east, but also defend against the enemy from the east. Du Ruhui said solemnly, "If Zhao mainly pours the whole army to aid Zheng. There are only two ways, one is to send troops from Wei County, after capturing the land of Hanoi, seize the three cities of Heyang, and then cross the Yellow River from Mengjin to aid Luoyang. ”

Liu Hongji patted his leg and said: "I understand, so Brother Du said that he would take the three cities of Heyang and Huaizhou as the first priority, just to prevent Li Chongjiu from Hebei reinforcements." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Originally, there was no need to worry about this way, but Li Chongjiu broke the Yu culture and sent the general Wang Mahan to lead 10,000 horses to Wei County, it was precisely for this purpose, no wonder he dared to spread the word to the world, it turned out that Wei County was so critical." ”

Li Shimin said: "It's okay, even if Li Chongjiu captures Hanoi, as long as the three cities of Heyang are in the hands of our army, the Zhao army will have no chance at all." ”

To know the situation of the whole Luoyang, there is the Yellow River in the north as the block, and the other three sides have the danger of mountains and rivers, which can be called the four stops of mountains and rivers. In general, Tongguan rejects its west, and the risk of choking the letter; The tiger firmly blocked its east; Yique, the dragon gate blocks its south; Mengjin blocked its north.

In the north of Luoyang, it is more complete, in addition to the Yellow River is dangerous, there is also the north side of the mountain to block the south bank, you must know that the north side of the mountain east and west is hundreds of miles of Hengdan, so it is necessary to cross the river from the north of the Yellow River to Luoyang, and the ferry is only Mengjin all the way.

And the three cities of Heyang are guarding the Mengjin ferry.

The three cities of Heyang are Beizhongcheng, Zhongtan City, and Nancheng, of which Beizhongcheng is built on the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhongtan City, built on the sandbar in the river, and Nancheng, which is built on the south bank and faces the river. The three cities are Jinyao in the north of Luoyang, and the Yellow River flows through them, and each city is tied to a river bridge.

With the three cities of Heyang in danger, as long as they are in the hands of the Tang army, the Zhao army will not take time and it will be difficult to capture at all.

Therefore, Li Shimin said that as long as the three cities of Heyang were in hand, and the Zhao army crossed the river from Mengjin to help, there would be no chance at all.

Liu Hongji knew that Li Shimin had sent Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, to attack Heyang, and Liu Dewei, the commander of the Luzhou march, to attack Huaizhou.

What's more, even if Li Chongjiu attacks this way, there are two generals of Li Tang to defend Hedong, they are Li Chen, the king of Xiangwu, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who has been losing troops and losing troops.

Now the generals will return to the topic of Tiger Prison.

Du Ruyan said: "If the Zhao army does not cross the river from Wei County, Hanoi, and Heyang, and aid Luoyang from the north, then the only way is to cross the Yellow River from Liyang to the south, and after reaching the White Horse City, it will march westward in the drums. ”

After hearing Du Ruhui say this, everyone suddenly realized. On all sides of Luoyang, now the Tang army is attacking Luoyang from Tongguan in the east and Longmen in the south, and Li Chongjiu wants to aid Zheng, only to go to Mengjin in the north or Tiger Prison in the west.

Liu Hongji said: "But this road is not easy to walk, the first Liyang Cang's military rations need 6 miles of turnover, labor, and the road is farther than Mengjin." ”

"But it's safe," Fang Xuanling said, "If you enter the army from the west, you can also get the support of Wang Shichong's Henan soldiers and horses, Wang Bo, and after joining forces together, the momentum will be greatly boosted." ”

Liu Hongji said: "I understand, so for the sake of all measures, we must guard the tiger prison. As long as our army is blocked by elite soldiers all the way, the Zhao army has an army of 100,000 people, and it is helpless. ”

After everyone discussed, they all nodded. Li Shimin has been silent, and has been thinking deeply after listening to everyone's opinions.

No one knew that the three conditions proposed by Li Chongjiu and Wang Shichong's envoy Du Yan really coincided with the three conditions proposed by Du Ruhan's military discussion. And this Three Kingdoms War, which is related to Tang, Zheng and Zhao, is also settled here.

While they were deliberating, the door of the tent was suddenly opened, and a large amount of wind and snow poured into the tent from the outside.

"Okay, second brother, you are here to discuss a big matter, why don't you call me? Is there something big to deceive me? ”

It was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who spoke, and when the generals saw each other coming, they immediately stood up and saluted.

Li Shimin sat still, and asked, "King Qi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Yuanji smiled, walked to the bonfire and said: "Second brother, you are too sensitive, I just asked by the way, but anyway, I am also the deputy general of this expedition against Wang Shichong, and I ask the second brother not to hide it from me." ”

Li Shimin said: "Who hid from you?" It's just that I see that you are indifferent to this on weekdays, and when I went down to the camp, I inspected the barracks for a week, and you drank wine with your own soldiers in the tent. ”

Li Yuanji's face changed, he was running around on horseback, and no women were allowed in the army, so he always had young and beautiful young men around him as personal soldiers to relieve his boredom.

After Li Shimin revealed this matter, all the generals' eyes were cold, and they were full of contempt when they looked at Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji was furious when he saw the looks of the generals, he was appointed by Li Jiancheng this time, that is, to make Li Shimin unable to dictate power, and let Li Yuanji win over the support of some generals in the army. However, Li Shimin said this to his face, Li Yuanji's prestige was swept away, how could someone work, and what was even more annoying was that Li Shimin still said it in public.

Li Yuanji said angrily: "Second brother, what do you say, how can I be a good person with Longyang, second brother, I just kindly remind you, father, the emperor doesn't say it, but it doesn't mean that I don't know, I'm not blind, and I haven't seen it for a month." I'm here today, and I'll make it clear, don't pull the mountain in the army, what factions are there, and the generals, what Qin Wang Party, Eighteen Bachelors, there is only one King Qin in your eyes, don't forget that you are the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty first. ”

As soon as this statement came out, Li Yuanji offended all the people in the tent. The generals dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"Fourth brother!" Li Shimin took the case.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "King Qin, King Qi, don't be angry, they are all brothers, what is there is also a joke, let the soldiers outside hear it, it is not good to make trouble, and I thought that we would lead the discord, which shook the heart of the army." ”

Li Yuanji also sneered again and again, he pulled his cronies outside for the generals, and turned around and said, "Really? Second brother, how easy is it to attack Luoyang, don't forget that we Li family children are not the only ones who can fight, and it is not up to you to sweep the world. ”

"It's just that you're not worthy to say that to me." Li Shimin said coldly.

Li Yuanji walked to the tent door and said loudly: "I am not worthy of carrying shoes for your second brother, but I am not alone in the family, you don't know, this time the Turkic army invaded Hexi, and my father has reactivated the third sister and set out to defend against the Turks." Ha ha. ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard Li Yuanji say this, he didn't know about this matter in advance.

Li Yuanji's laughter drifted far away outside the tent, Li Shimin pondered in the tent, and the people on the left and right retreated, leaving only Fang Xuanling as a confidant.

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, right now the King of Huai'an has been defeated in Hebei, and the King of Hejian County has just suffered a defeat in attacking Sichuan and Shu. But fortunately, the princess is a daughter, even if she is in charge of the military, she will not pose a threat to His Royal Highness. ”

Li Shimin swept his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are not right, if she is not a daughter, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince would have been passed on to her by her father." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
