Chapter 146 Dou Jiande's letter (third update, continue to vote, and more)

Some counselors and generals in Li Shimin's account all nodded after hearing the middle-aged counselor's suggestion, and then persuaded Li Shimin to give up the battle.

Li Shimin listened to the comfort of these people, then shook his head with a smile.Then he said to the counselor next to him: "Wen Jing, this battle. It's not that I won't retreat, but this king will not. You will know if you think about the affairs of the court carefully."

Liu Wenjing frowned when she heard what Li Shimin said, and began to think.Suddenly, Liu Wenjing opened her eyes, then raised her head to look at Li Shimin and said, "His Royal Highness, you mean..."

Li Shimin nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, tell me, if I retreat now, what will my brother do?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, those counselors also nodded.Yes, it seems that there is really no way to retreat now.Originally, Li Yuan planned to make Li Jian the crown prince, but because of the high prestige of Qin Wang Li Shimin in the army and court, it can be said that more than half of the Li Family River was captured by Li Shimin on the battlefield.As for Li Jiancheng, he is leading the internal affairs from the rear.Of course, the prestige is not as high as Li Shimin who is fighting in the front.

Perhaps Li Jiancheng also realized this point. When Li Yuan absolutely crusaded Wang Shichong in this battle, Li Jiancheng strongly demanded to lead the army to complete this crusade.To eliminate Li Shimin's prestige in the army.

Li Yuan also thought so. After all, since ancient times, it is the rule of the ancestors to establish the elders but not the young.But when he thought about how important this crusade was to the Li family, and when he thought about the last time Li Jiancheng led the army and returned in a big defeat.Li Yuan hesitated a little.

At this time, Fiji came to see Li Yuan, and then Fiji analyzed the matter for Li Yuan.By the way, the advantages and disadvantages are explained one after another.

When Li Yuan heard it, it was the same reason. Anyway, there is no crown prince now, so whoever can lead the army to win the battle now, then he will shoot whoever.What a big deal.This is the best time to lay the foundation for Li Tang's millennium foundation.If the good time to lay the foundation for Li Tang is delayed because of something that hasn't happened yet, it won't be worth it.As for who will lead the troops out of the station, that's needless to say.Of course, the second son who sent his own military exploits to send troops.As for his eldest son, it's simple. Since the eldest son is good at internal affairs, wouldn't it be good to let him handle internal affairs?

Therefore, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to send troops to fight.

In fact, Fiji came to be a lobbyist for Li Shimin, which was requested by Li Shimin.Because Li Shimin already sensed something was wrong.Although he said that he never wanted to compete with his elder brother for the position of prince.Nor did he have any intention of preventing his elder brother Li Jiancheng from establishing his prestige in the army.But you can't poach my corner.Yes or no?I didn't want to argue with you for anything, and I was dedicated to helping our family fight the war.But you are lucky, but you actually sent someone to dig out my subordinates of Li Shimin.

This is why you are not authentic.

Li Shimin became angry when he thought that once his subordinates were poached by his elder brother, the power he had worked so hard to build would be in vain.If this thing really happened, wouldn't I, Li Shimin, be at your disposal in the future?

Well, don't you want to lead the army in battle?Don't you want to establish prestige in the army?Then I will not let you succeed.If you poach my corner, then I will seize power with you, so that you can know that your brother is not someone who can be manipulated.Even if you become the crown prince at that time, you can never touch a finger of my Prince Qin's mansion.

In fact, Li Shimin is also very troublesome, you said that I just want to lay a solid foundation for our Li Tang, and I haven't wanted to compete with you for the crown prince yet.Then you start to doubt me.Even started to suppress me.Don't tell me you can't trust your brother.Sometimes Li Shimin is also thinking.The current Li Jiancheng is still the kind-hearted and gentle man he was back then.The elder brother who always thinks about his younger brothers?
When did it start that this brother of mine started to be afraid of him, and even started to suppress him?For many nights, Li Shimin was thinking about this question.Maybe, maybe from the moment he became the leader of the army.This big brother of mine must start to be afraid of himself.

The royal family has no relatives, and the imperial power has no friendship.This may be the most true but helpless portrayal.

Li Shimin knew that if he retreated and returned to the court this time, maybe the next time he wanted to lead the army to fight, it would be a long way off.At that time, don't talk about your own subordinates.I'm afraid that even my own safety may be an extravagant hope.What's more, the eldest brother sent Yuan Ji, who had the best relationship with him, to supervise the army.Isn't that what it means?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin had no choice but to smile wryly.

And his counselors also thought about this, and then nodded helplessly, agreeing that Li Shimin would continue to fight.

While everyone was discussing the next battle plan, a spies' report suddenly came from outside the camp.

"Come in!"

Hearing the report from the spies, Li Shimin let the spies from the army enter the camp.

After the spy entered the camp, he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Li Shimin: "Report to His Royal Highness, after our investigation, we found that Dou Jiande's army has already joined forces with Wang Shichong's subordinate Guo Shiheng with thousands of people, and has entered the camp. Hulao Guandong Guangwu Mountain, and set up camp in Banzhu, echoing Wang Shichong. And sent a messenger to send you a letter."

Hearing the spies' report, Li Shimin nodded.Then a sergeant beside him took the letter written by Dou Jiande from the spies and sent it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the letter, opened it and looked at it, then let the spies go down and continue to investigate the movement of the two parties.

The spy bowed his hands and saluted, then bowed and left the tent.

"This is the letter Dou Jiande wrote to me, hehe, please read it!"

With that said, Li Shimin handed the letter to Liu Wenjing and the others.

Liu Wenjing and the others took the letter, passed it on to each other, and after reading it, they all sighed.

The meaning in the letter is very obvious. Dou Jiande asked Li Shimin and the others to withdraw their troops immediately and retreat to the Tongguan area.And demanded that the land occupied by Wang Shichong be returned to Wang Shichong.

"How is it? After reading this letter, what do you think?"

"Nonsense, this is absolutely not allowed. Who does Dou Jiande think he is? If he tells us to retreat, we will retreat. Does Dou Jiande really regard himself as a character?"

After Qu Tutong read the letter, he burst into tears and cursed.
