Man Tanghong

Chapter 66: Enter the Battalion!Su Dingfang!
"Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens."

Li Yuanji reminded him earnestly.

Qu Tutong thought for a while, and said: "I will try to write a letter to His Highness King Qin..."

This matter was related to Luo Shixin's life and death. Although Qu Tutong did not believe that the snow would fall heavily, he still wrote a letter to Li Shimin, asking Li Shimin to send more troops to Mingshui City.

After sending out Qu Tutong's letter, Li Yuanji did not stay in Qu Tutong's residence, but returned to his own residence.

Qu Tutong's letter was sent out at noon, and in the evening, Li Shimin sent someone to send a reply letter.

After Qu Tutong got the letter, he hurried to Li Yuanji's residence.

The letter was opened by Qu Tutong, and Qu Tutong read the contents inside. After meeting Li Yuanji, he handed the letter to Li Yuanji and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin's reply is exactly the same as what I guessed."

Li Yuanji took the letter and read it carefully.

Li Shimin's reply was exactly the same as Qu Tutong's guess, he was unwilling to send more troops to Mingshui City, worried that he would scare Liu Heitai away, and he would have to go to great lengths to find him later.

Li Shimin believed in the heavy snow blocking the road, but he didn't think the heavy snow could stop the army from rushing to help Mingshui City.

Li Yuanji fell silent after reading the letter.

Like Qu Tutong, Li Shimin underestimated the heavy snowfall.

Li Yuanji began to consider whether he should risk his life to save Luo Shixin.

Since Li Shimin refused to send troops, if he wanted to save Luo Shixin, he could only lead the troops from the Second Left Command Army Mansion, one thousand cavalry from the Qi Palace, and two thousand soldiers from Shanzhou. .

With [-] new troops joining, it should be able to help Luo Shixin resist Liu Heita's attack.

But there is also the risk of being buried in Mingshui City with Luo Shixin.

"Why don't you lead my [-] iron armors and [-] Shanzhou soldiers to help Mingshui City?"

Li Yuanji suddenly looked at Qu Tutong and said.

He was a little reluctant to put himself in danger, the danger was small, but there was danger nonetheless.

Qu Tutong stared in astonishment, staring at him in a daze.

"Don't want to?"

Li Yuanji questioned.

Qu Tutong hesitated for a while, bowed and said: "Since Shuai Zhang is not willing to send people to help Mingshui City, then I dare not go against Shuai Zhang's decision."

Li Shimin gave Luo Shixin more than 1000 soldiers and horses to let Luo Shixin guard Mingshui City, and he must have his own plans in mind.

Recklessly intervening in the battle in Mingshui City may affect Li Shimin's deployment.

Li Shimin's deployment is likely to be the key to victory.

If this key is affected, it is very likely that this war will fall into an unfavorable situation.

Whether Li Shimin will cut him off because of this will not be said, just the series of consequences caused by the unfavorable war are not something he can bear.

Li Yuanji frowned and fell silent again.

Qu Tutong did not dare to interfere with Li Shimin's deployment, and others certainly did not dare to interfere with Li Shimin's deployment. He was the only one who could interfere with Li Shimin's deployment.

Putting himself in a dangerous place to save Luo Shixin's life, or staying in a safe place by himself and watching Luo Shixin die, he had a hard time making a choice.

"Phew... it would be great if Yu Wenbao was here."

Li Yuanji sighed and missed Yu Wenbao a little bit.

If Yu Wenbao was there, he wouldn't have to fall into this dilemma.

With Yu Wenbao's temperament, as long as he gives orders, Yu Wenbao will definitely implement them.

Yu Wenbao doesn't care if his actions will affect Li Shimin's deployment.

"Send the order, and everyone is ready to go."

Li Yuanji hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to take a walk in Mingshui City.

He didn't need to enter Mingshui City, but he could hide at the foot of the high tomb in the south of Mingshui City, and when Mingshui City was in danger of being captured again, he would suddenly break out and restrain some of Liu Heita's troops, allowing Luo Shixin to break through.

Qu Tutong looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment, "Your Highness is going to rescue Mingshui City?"

The snow outside is still falling, and it has accumulated four inches thick. The heavy snow will affect people's sight, and the snow will also slow down the formation of the army, so it is not suitable to hurry.

If Li Yuanji went to Guangfu to meet Li Shimin, he wouldn't have to rush through the wind and snow.

So Li Yuanji ordered the whole army to dispatch, obviously preparing to go to Mingshui City to rescue Luo Shixin.

Li Yuanji nodded slowly, ready to get up and walk out.

Qu Tutong stared, stood in front of Li Yuanji, and said a little excitedly: "If you go to Mingshui City, it is very likely that you will disturb the layout of the commander's tent."

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Qu Tutong hurriedly said again: "Even if Luo Shixin is really in danger, you shouldn't be the one to rescue him."

In Qu Tutong's eyes, Li Yuanji's life was much more important than Luo Shixin's.

Luo Shixin can be in danger or die, but Li Yuanji cannot be in danger, let alone die.

Li Yuanji looked at Qu Tu's passage: "I will not enter Mingshui City, I am going to lead the army to station at Gaofen in the south of Mingshui City, and when Mingshui City is really about to be captured, I will hold back some of Liu Heita's troops for Luo Shixin, Create a chance for Luo Shixin to break through."

Hearing that Li Yuanji would not take the risk himself, and had no intention of entering Mingshui City, Qu Tutong instantly relaxed a lot.

Qu Tutong wanted to persuade him again, but Li Yuanji didn't give Qu Tutong a chance to speak, "That's the matter, you won't even stop me from going to Gaofen, will you?"

Qu Tutong hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Then let the minister accompany His Highness."

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

Qu Tutong no longer blocked Li Yuanji's way.

When Li Yuanji left the big house of the post station, the soldiers assembled quickly. When the sky was a little dark, the soldiers gathered in one place.

Li Yuanji, wearing armor and holding a blade, straddled his horse and led the soldiers out of Feixiang post.

Running all the way for more than ten miles, the sky has become dark.

The waning moon reflected the snow, and the snow showed the way for Li Yuanji and his party.

"The front is the Lieren camp, and Qin Shubao is stationed in front. If His Highness wants to rest, he can rest overnight in the Lieren camp."

Qu Tutong said while riding on the horse.

Li Yuanji rode his horse forward while playing with a plaque carved out of jade, pursed his lips and did not speak.

The sign in Li Yuanji's hand was exactly what he ordered the craftsmen to make before he set off for the expedition.

Since he was not satisfied with the first version made by the craftsmen, the craftsmen made a second version.

Since the Qi Palace has no combat missions to follow the crowd, and the number of followers in the Qi Palace is constantly increasing, the iron plate was not ready until a few days ago.

The new iron plate is twice as thin as the first edition, and the words on it are all engraved in Yang, and the burrs have also been carefully polished.

So it looks beautiful.

Li Yuanji had a special status, so it was impossible for him to use the same iron cards as the soldiers, so his cards were made of jade.

The soldiers liked the plaques he issued very much, and he also liked the jade plaques crafted by craftsmen.

It was he who prepared the method of grinding burrs for the craftsmen, and he was a little regretful that the craftsmen didn't ask him for it.

Qu Tutong stared at Li Yuanji for a long time, seeing that Li Yuanji didn't respond to him, he turned his head away in embarrassment.

"You didn't hear anything?"

Li Yuanji asked suddenly.

Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully. The wind was very strong, so the sound mixed in the wind was very small.

The reason why Li Yuanji didn't respond to Qu Tutong was because he heard the slightest cry of killing.

Qu Tutong listened for a long time, and hurriedly said: "It seems to be the sound of shouting!"

As soon as the tone of Qu Tu's call fell, the scouts who went to explore the way hurried back and reported to Li Yuanji.

"Your Highness, Liu Heita's troops are taking advantage of the snowy night to attack the Lieren camp."

Lieren camp is an important place.

When Liu Heitai was driven out of Feixiang, he served in the Lieren camp, and now he is thinking about the Lieren camp in the counterattack.

This shows the importance of being listed in the camp.

Prior to this, Liu Heita had already sent people to seize the Lieren camp several times.

"Liu Heita was in Mingshui, but he sent people to attack the Lieren camp. He wanted to encircle our central army from both sides."

Without hesitation, Qu Tutong stated Liu Heita's purpose of attacking the Lieren camp.

Li Yuanji nodded, and ordered the soldiers under his command to hurry on their way, ready to go to Lieren camp to have a look.

A group of soldiers rushed quickly against the wind and snow, and arrived at the border of the Lieren camp in a short while.

When they reached the border of the Lieren camp, the shouts of killing became more intense.

"Your Highness, the humble officials and others have found out that the one who attacked Lieren's camp was Liu Heita's general Gao Yaxian, with six thousand troops."

The scouts kept shuttling around the Lieren camp, and quickly found out who was attacking the Lieren camp and how many soldiers and horses they had.

Li Yuanji was shocked when he heard the word Gao Yaxian.

Gao Yaxian is in Lieren camp, which means that another person is also there.

Su Dingfang!
When Su Dingfang took refuge under Dou Jiande's command, he was valued by Gao Yaxian and accepted as his adopted son.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Gao Yaxian and Su Dingfang disappeared.

After Liu Heitai's rebellion, Gao Yaxian reappeared with Su Dingfang and joined Liu Heitai's tent.

Su Dingfang has always been inseparable from Gao Yaxian, so wherever there is Gao Yaxian, there must be Su Dingfang.

"The whole army is attacking, capture Gao Yaxian and others alive!"

Li Yuanji ordered decisively.

He has 8000 soldiers under his command, and Qin Qiong has 6000 soldiers and [-] people in total. Against Gao Yaxian's [-] people, he has an advantage in numbers.

Liu Heizhen sent Gao Yaxian to attack the Lieren camp on a snowy night, and he did not have the advantage in terms of weather and timing.

Now he leads people to kill suddenly, which has an unexpected effect.

He cooperates with Qin Qiong, there is a high chance that he can swallow Gao Yaxian in one gulp, so he has no hesitation.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was going to join the battle suddenly, Qu Tutong was taken aback. He was about to say something when he heard Li Yuanji turn his head to him and said: "For this battle, you will send troops and generals, and I will be the vanguard."

After speaking, Li Yuanji raised his horse and signaled the other soldiers to prepare to charge with him.

Li Yuanji knew his own shortcomings, so he didn't take command power on his shoulders.

Qu Tutong knew very well that Li Yuanji led the soldiers and horses to fight out at this time, which would definitely be a great help to Qin Qiong in the Lieren camp.

It was Liu Heita who sent people to attack the camp, not Li Yuanji who led people to attack the camp, so it was not involved in disrupting Li Shimin's deployment.

Immediately, Qu Tutong said seriously: "Then His Highness led the cavalry to the right wing of the Lieren camp, quickly seized the road to the north, and cut off the enemy's rear.

The minister led the iron armor and infantry, and killed from the left wing, catching the enemy by surprise. "
