Chapter 774: Target Qi County
"Father, then tell your father! Hey, at this time, Li Xin must be hiding to the side to watch the joke, he is just waiting for the Yellow River to burst! After listening to Wang Qi's report, Li Shimin lightly threw the letter in his hand aside and said self-deprecatingly.
"Yes! Isn't that the case with Li Xin's withdrawal of troops for a hundred miles now? I heard that he has now begun to move the people, and the people within a radius of a hundred miles have followed, and he has also prepared for the plague after the emergency flood. Wang Jue sighed deeply. Compared with Li Yuanji's side, Li Xin's side is a superior judgment. No wonder the two were relatively speechless.
"Lord Wang, did you say that my father would agree?" Li Shimin's eyes wandered, and he looked into the distance and said.
Wang Jue didn't speak, he didn't dare to speak. Will Li Yuan agree? Wang Jue thinks that Li Yuan should not agree, but no one knows, because all this depends on the situation in Shandong. It's funny to say that the reason for this confrontation is because Li Yuanji wants to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River.
Whether Li Xin can capture Dongping in a very short period of time or not, once the Yellow River embankment bursts, what he has done will be in vain, so not only does he not attack now, but he is still hiding far away, isn't it because he is afraid of Li Yuanji, a madman? It can be said that the Yellow River embankment is the only means to threaten Li Xin.
"It's all my incompetence, Li Shimin, otherwise, where would I need to do such a thing." Li Shimin sighed, Wang Qi didn't say it, Li Shimin could also guess some, that is, Li Yuan would definitely agree, with the minimum price to obtain the maximum victory, why didn't Li Yuan do it! And afterwards, all the sins were put on Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, why didn't Li Yuan do this kind of thing!
Li Shimin still knows something about his father, and Li Xin is his magic barrier. If Li Xin is not eliminated, Li Yuan will not be able to sleep peacefully at night, and now that he encounters such a good opportunity, how can he give up easily? Even, this matter was not only guessed by himself, but also by Li Xin on the other side, so he did not hesitate to order the army to retreat and start to migrate the victims.
"Your Highness, it's no wonder that Your Highness is doing this. Li Xin's attack was too sudden and his means were despicable, so at the beginning of the war, we were at a disadvantage. It is not easy for His Highness to maintain such a situation in Shandong. Wang Jue couldn't help but say a fair word at this time.
"If the king says this, even if the king is pointed out by a thousand people, he is willing!" Li Shimin suddenly smiled when he heard this. Then he said: "Lord Wang, I am afraid that the situation in front of me is already clear, and the matter of migrating Baixin still needs to be accelerated. At this time, there was not much water in the Yellow River. In addition, there is also a large Nozawa, which can probably share some of it, and the real Yellow River water is only a few hundred miles in a radius. Let's just work together with Li Xin. Hey. When did this king and his enemies work together? ”
The indescribable bitterness in Li Shimin's heart can be imagined, once the Yellow River bursts its banks. All the infamy will not be directed towards him Li Shimin, but the good reputation will not be left to him, but to Li Xin on the other side. Li Shimin thought of this. Suddenly, it was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
"Your Highness, Li Xin is treacherous, from the moment he left the Tang State Mansion, he decided that this person is definitely not a simple character, and he will not hand over everything he has to others, and it is the same now, Xia Guan thinks that Li Xin will definitely not look at King Qi like this, he hides aside, just waiting. Xia Guan thought that he must have other means. Wang Qi thought about it and persuaded him.
"Well, what Lord Wang said is even." Li Shimin woke up suddenly, nodded, and said: "Li Xin, this person is insidious and cunning, there will definitely be other moves, but I don't know where it is." He looked carefully at the map in front of him, Li Xin's current army was divided into two parts, one was in Pinglu (the area of present-day Wenshang) in front of him, plus Luo Shixin's 40,000 troops who rushed over, adding up to 100,000 people; On the other hand, the army united by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin also had 60,000 people. In other words, Li Xin has 160,000 people in Shandong, and it is still possible to attack the whole of Shandong. But what is Li Xin doing now?
"Now, we have to keep an eye on Li Xin, once there is any abnormality in his soldiers and horses, we must be careful, and we must also tell Li Yuanji that if Li Xin wants to take the Yellow River into his own hands when the Yellow River will burst, the first step will definitely be to deal with the King of Qi." Li Shimin pointed to Pinglu and said: "Even if he doesn't send troops from Pinglu, it is possible to send troops from Henan." If this matter is in the hands of Li Xin, we can only withdraw our troops, otherwise, we will not be able to resist the attack of the 160,000-strong army. ”
"The two armies are like a pair of pincers, clamping us." Wang Jue also had a solemn face.
"Li Xin will not play cards according to common sense." Li Shimin looked for the place where the other party might send troops on the map, his face gradually became solemn, and finally said: "Shimin thinks that the most likely place for Li Xin to send troops is Yuanji, and this place must strengthen the protection of the army. I'm going to let Pei Longqian go, what does Lord Wang think? Li Shimin's eyes flickered, staring at Wang Qi and said.
Wang Jue also looked at Li Shimin, who believed that Li Shimin's move was not just as simple as protecting the Yellow River embankment, but more importantly, he wanted to take the matter into his own hands.
"I'm afraid that King Qi is unwilling!" Wang Qi said very calmly.
"This?"
"Your Highness, Master Cui is back." Li Shimin was about to speak, but he saw in the distance that the eldest grandson Wuyi led a middle-aged man to stride over, not Cui Mingan.
"Lady Cui." Li Shimin was happy in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Shimin is ashamed, let Lord Cui fall into the hands of the enemy, and is preparing to let Lord Wang go to Li Xin, my father has a word, no matter how much it costs, I must redeem Lord Cui." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Mingan's face was solemn, and after arching his hand towards the north, he asked: "King Qin, I heard that you and King Qi are planning to dig the embankment of the Yellow River and flood Shandong?" ”
Li Shimin's face darkened, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Wang Jue next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Brother Cui, you have misunderstood King Qin, this is the proposition of King Qi, and now the recitals of King Qin and King Qi have arrived at Your Majesty, this is a trouble, hey!" Just waiting for His Majesty's clear decision. Now King Qin is still trying to figure out a way to solve this matter! ”
"Master Cui, why did Li Xin let you out?" Li Shimin thought of a question at this time and asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know." Cui Mingan shook his head and said, "It was Qin Qiong who personally let me out, saying that it was on Li Xin's orders." Cui Mingan also looked suspicious and shook his head.
originally thought that Li Xin would capture himself and ask Li Zhao for a lot of benefits, but he didn't even see him, so he let himself leave Linzi, which made Cui Mingan very curious.
Li Shimin and Wang Qi glanced at each other, Li Xin did this, not only knowing that there was no hope of persuading Cui Min to surrender, but more importantly, it seemed to befriend Cui's family, no matter what, although he is an enemy now, but once he has a little relationship, after Li Xin's army enters Hebei in the future, with this relationship, Cui can also get in touch with Li Xin.
Li Shin's ambition is not small.
"By the way, King Qin, Linzi City is empty now, why don't you hit it?" Cui Mingan said suddenly.
"Linzi emptiness? Why is that? Li Shimin was surprised and asked: "Although the Yellow River may burst its banks, is it too exaggerated to want to flood Linzi, is Li Xin migrating the people of Linzi?" Li Shimin looked at the map and shook his head and said.
"This, the lower official doesn't know, the lower official has something to do with Linzi, when he left, someone once complained to the lower officer that the military camp was too noisy, and there was a large army every day. When he went out of the city, Xia Guan also secretly took a look at the city defense, and the city defense was much looser than before, so it can be concluded that Linzi City should be very weak now. Cui Mingan said with some embarrassment.
He is a literati, and he thinks that such a judgment is unreasonable, and at this time, he was asked by Li Shimin, so he felt a little embarrassed.
"No, Linzi City may really not have many soldiers guarding it." After Li Shimin listened, his face was solemn, he looked at Linzi carefully, and said: "Li Xin is a person who is unwilling to pin everything on others, he must have other calculations, his own army is here looking at this king, Xu Shiji is coming soon, our army is one, and the strength has increased a lot, but Li Xin's soldiers and horses are scattered, so he has the opportunity and ability to solve other things." The same is true of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin in Linzi, which are the most powerful weapons in his hands. ”
"Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses are to attack Shandong, Li Xin wants to recover more land before the Yellow River bursts, and the central and southern parts of Shandong will probably fall into his hands." Wang Jue sighed, although Li Shimin was able to maintain the front line of Dongping, it was also because of Li Yuanji's deterrence, so Li Xin did not dare to attack Dongping, but in other places, Li Xin could rest assured that he could attack boldly.
"If that's all there is, then it's not Li Xin." Li Shimin shook his head, searched for the map in front of him, and said, "Li Xin will definitely not be so simple. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Luo Shixin, the three generals, can be in charge of themselves wherever they are placed. Put together at this time, Li Xin must have a bigger plan! ”
"Your Highness thinks where is Li Xin's goal?" After Wang Jue and Cui Mingan heard this, their faces were also solemn, and the two of them also surrounded them and asked nervously.
"Look at here, around Linzi, Zichuan, Zhangqiu, and here Qijun. Qi County! Li Xin: This is to cut us off. His target is definitely Qi County. Li Shimin gasped and said loudly. (To be continued.) )
