Over there, at noon, most of the soldiers and horses had passed along the Ming River. "

"Are we going to chase after him?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"No." Li Shimin straightened up, pushed the scroll aside, took out the map, and spread it out, "It's passive after chasing him. Didn't he want to fight Luo Yi? The soldiers and horses left in the city of Mingzhou must be There will be more, and he must be quite worried."

"Then we are going to attack the city?" Li Xiuning said.

"No. The siege of the city is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even if we capture it, we will not be able to eliminate Liu Heita's main force. It is not worthwhile." Li Shimin shook his head.

"Your Highness, do you mean a feint attack?" Du Ruhui lowered his eyes and asked politely, "So that Liu Heitai can change his order from day to day and come back to save the city, instead of messing things up?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Liu Heitai is indeed a man, but he is more than brave. This plan will definitely turn him around." Li Shimin clicked on the map, "In addition, the Mingzhou City, Mingshui County and Feixiang where we are located There are three horns, and the distance between each other is only 120 miles. If one of Mingzhou City or Mingshui County is captured, Liu Heita's encirclement of our army will be broken. With Hei Kai in a panic, it would be much easier to take back most of the land in Hebei from him."

"The people stationed in Mingzhou City must be Liu Heita's cronies, I'm afraid it won't work." Du Ruhui raised his eyes and said, "It must be very easy for Mingshui County to send a few people who can talk about it to infiltrate Mingshui County and stir things up."

"I will leave this matter to you. After the matter is completed, let Wang Junkuo lead [-] cavalry to station in the county immediately. As for the feint attack, let Cheng Mingzhen go. Give him a chance to make a contribution." There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Shimin ordered, "He can do whatever he wants. Tell him, the bigger the trouble, the better. If this feint attack is not performed well, he will die here."

"I understand." Du Ruhui stood up, saluted, and went out with Changsun Wuji and others.

Li Xiuning had just stood there, seeing that everyone had retreated, she strode up to Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, I have something to ask you."

Li Shimin rolled up the map slowly, nodded casually when he heard the words, and said, "Sister, please tell me."

"Do you have unethical feelings for elder brother?" Rao, the hero of Li Xiuning's high school girls, still felt a little unnatural when she said this, her voice lowered a lot.

Sure enough, it came.There was no smile on the corners of Li Shimin's lips at this time. Originally, since they arrived in Feishui, this elder sister seldom came to see him, and seldom talked when they met. Her expression was gloomy. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with him, but she didn't say anything. , just now, if there were no outsiders present when he came in, he might have already asked the question.

"Yes." There was no ups and downs in the word, but it seemed extraordinarily open and calm.

Li Xiuning's phoenix eyes, which were exactly the same as his, suddenly sharpened, and he slapped on the case all at once. The silver and white lotus armor let out a clang, and it was an aggressive reprimand: "Do you know what you are doing? You are brothers! You are both men! How dare you do that?" You let your mother, father, and us brothers and sisters, who have passed away for many years, think of such things that violate human ethics!"

"As long as you don't tell me about my feelings for eldest brother, those people won't know, and they don't care what they think. As for my mother, I will personally admit my mistake to her in the future, so I won't bother my sister." Li Shimin said indifferently. In my heart, since Li Xiuning just said that he has a heart for big brother, then it's better to get big brother out of this matter.

"Bastard!" Li Xiuning slapped him hard, "What kind of attitude is this?! I also wondered how old you are, and you always go to the East Palace, pestering your elder brother to do something. Thoughts! Big Brother has always spoiled you, but I can’t let you do whatever you want, and dragged Big Brother down, after this war is over, you are not allowed to enter the Eastern Palace again!”

Li Shimin has been loved and favored since he was a child, and his elder sister loves him very much. She has never been willing to touch him. Every time his father beats him because of his wife, Xiuning always protects him. It was the first time Xiuning touched him.

The bright red palm prints on Li Shimin's fair cheeks are particularly obvious. Li Xiuning is no better than the girl who came out of the boudoir. Jiaojiao Rourou's subordinates have no strength. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and is also used to the battlefield.

Li Shimin touched his cheek and said, "Forgive me for not following orders!"

"You!" Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "You don't want to admit your mistake, do you?"

"I don't know what the crime is. Shimin only has big brother in his heart, and he thinks he is not at fault." Li Shimin answered it as a matter of course, and Li Xiuning became more and more angry.

"Ha, it's good that there is nothing wrong with this one... Then what about Wugou, and what about Chengqian?" Li Xiuning said coldly.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his brows and eyes were slightly sad, and he said: "I am really sorry for them...but I will never let go of my elder brother!"

"Okay, it's very good. It seems that you can't make sense, then I will go to my elder brother. If he knows what you are thinking, I am afraid that he will not be willing to get close to you again!" Xiu Ning laughed back angrily, "I must What this sister says still carries weight!"

Li Shimin pursed his lips, frowned his vigorous brows, and said coldly: "Just follow my sister's wishes."

Li Xiuning glared at him fiercely, then slammed the curtain and left.

Li Shimin sat down slowly, without any expression on his face, he looked like a clay doll, his black eyes couldn't see to the end, and he looked more and more permeable.

It was hard to get together with the elder brother, if the elder brother really cared about Xiu Ning, or Xiu Ning stabbed the matter to his father, they had to separate.

Liang Qinqin's eyes fell on the map that was slightly spread out to the side, and a corner of Mingshui County was exposed, brightly and dimly under the lights in the tent.

According to Li Shimin's order, Cheng Mingzhen took sixty big drums and beat them fiercely on the embankment about two miles west of Mingzhou City in the middle of the night. Hearing the sound of the drum, he couldn't see the situation in the west of the city clearly because of the late night, so he panicked and dispatched people to report to Liu Heita.

Sure enough, Liu Heita turned back because he was worried about Mingzhou City, and only let his younger brother and another general lead 1 people to fight against Luo Yi.

And when Liu Heikai rushed back desperately, Li Shimin's strategy against Mingshui County also took effect. The people in the county rebelled spontaneously. There were not many garrison personnel in the county. Soon Mingshui County fell into the hands of Li Tang's army, and the momentum Liu Heitai had relied on was gone.

Liu Heitai was shocked and angry when he heard the news, and led his army to attack Mingshui County in person. In order to delay the time, Li Shimin frequently sent his generals and small groups of troops to intercept the harassment, which made Liu Heitai's troops travel more slowly.

At the same time, Liu Heitai's younger brother was obviously not as brave as his elder brother. He was beaten to the ground by Luo Yi, leaving only 1% of the [-] people, and fled back with the general.

Mingshui County had restrained most of the main force of Liu Heita's army, so Li Shimin would not let this opportunity pass. Echoing each other, Luo Yi won consecutive battles in the north, successively conquering Jing, Ding, Luan, Lian, Zhao and other prefectures. So far, the north of Mingzhou has returned to Datang, and Li Shimin and Luo Yi have joined forces. Liu Heita of Shui County.

At this time, Liu Heita had also arrived in Mingshui County and began to attack the city. Li Shimin tried to rescue Mingshui three times, but was stopped by Liu Heita. Liu Heita tried his best to capture Mingshui County. , and even dug two corridors for attacking the city.

In fact, at this time, whether Mingshui County can be attacked or not is meaningless to Liu Heita. The defeat is already settled. Even if Mingshui County is captured, it will be returned to the Tang army in a short time.

But now Liu Heitai's eyes are red, and it seems that he will never give up Mingshui. Although Li Shimin is impatient, but after all, there is still a general of his own in the county, and there is not much chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with Liu Heitai Under such circumstances, Li Shimin decided to give him the bone that Liu Heitai insisted on.

Immediately, they sent people to raise flags to the city from a high place, ordering Wang Junkuo to leave the city, and at the same time sent Li Xiuning to meet him.

However, Wang Junkuo took advantage of the chaos to break out, but Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang never returned to the camp.

In the large tent, the atmosphere was extremely stagnant.Li Shimin sat at the top, his handsome face was colder than usual, Wang Junkuo stood with his head down, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks, and his clothes were already wet.

"You said, you didn't see Princess Pingyang?" After a while, Li Shimin said slowly.

"Yes, what I said is true!" Wang Junkuo hurriedly said.

"Nonsense!" Li Shimin suddenly got into trouble, stood up and kicked over the case, the documents were scattered all over the floor, his black eyes were full of anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will ask Princess Pingyang to meet you and go out from the west gate. It is in the chaos army, how could you not see it?!"

"West... West Gate?!" Wang Junkuo turned pale, "But the semaphore clearly told me to go out from the east gate, I, I..."

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Which one was playing the semaphore yesterday!"

The soldier was quickly brought into battle, and when he saw this, he fell to his knees in fright, trembling and speechless.

"Let me ask you, did the semaphore you played yesterday come from the west gate?" Li Shimin said coldly.

"Yes, yes..." the soldier swallowed, and replied tremblingly.

The general in the tent looked at each other for a while, Du Ruhui coughed lightly, and said: "Please call again and let us see."

Then a soldier handed a flag to the soldier, the soldier stood up shaking his legs, and slapped him with a blue face.
