First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 152
...

Hearing Gao Jifu's words, the two looked at each other and smiled. Jia Runfu stared at Gao Jifu with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, "Since Ji Fu said so, then Gao Chong in Yiyang City must have obtained a strategy to defeat the enemy at this time." ".

Gao Jifu was not surprised when he heard the words, he was noncommittal, he just drank the wine in his glass and sighed: "Wei Gong is now obsessed with this Luoyang city, and he is determined not to destroy Luoyang, and he is not willing to give up, but ...".

Speaking of Gao Jifu, he shook his head and said nothing, but raised his glass.

Jia Runfu's face was also heavy, and he remained silent.

Li Yude was much more straightforward, without any scruples, and said directly: "Owning the vast territory of Henan and Shandong, I don't want to manage it, but I am here to die in Luoyang, and sit and watch Hebei Dou Jiande, Guanzhong Li Yuan, Jing Xiang and Xiao Mian. Duke Wei was overjoyed by that paper of alliance, I think he..."

Jia Runfu hurriedly reached out his hand to stop it and said, "Educate morality and speak carefully", and then looked around in a little panic.

Gao Jifu on the side said straightly: "I have already dismissed the waiter, but Yude, you still need to be cautious in your words and deeds, after all..." At this point, Gao Jifu hesitated to speak.

Li Yude sighed angrily, and knocked his wine glass heavily, "I dare not say what I have in my chest, it's so uncomfortable, it makes people feel depressed", Jia Gao and the two were also helpless when they heard the words.

When Li Mi was not yet famous, he was regarded as a corporal of respect and virtuousness, a model of open-mindedness and acceptance of advice, and a picture of a wise master, which attracted heroes from all over the world to vote, such as Gao Jifu and others.

But after everyone assisted Li Mihuo and Zhai Rang, and supported him as the leader of the Wagang Army, Li Mi's character flaws were completely exposed. His suspicious and suspicious character was undisguised, and he no longer trusted his subordinates.

And as his power increased, Li Mi became more arrogant and arrogant, claiming to be the leader of the anti-Sui alliance in the world, and gradually lost himself in the face of Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and others' flattery.

Li Mi, who occupies the vast land of Shandong and the Central Plains, is well-deserved as the number one vassal in the world, but Li Yude speaks quickly, breaking Li Mi's biggest weakness with a single word. Although the territory is large, the foundation is not stable.

Relying on only 30 troops in hand, and confronting the elite of the Sui army in Luoyang, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army over time.

Once the 30 army has suffered a major defeat and the counties and counties it occupies have no foundation, then Li Mi will lose everything.

In fact, the same is true of Li Mi on the original trajectory. First, he smashed Luoyang and was unable to attack for a long time. Later, he accepted Luoyang Yang Yu's Zhao'an, and he was named Wei Guogong to win Yu Wenhua.

When Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji fought fiercely, Wang Shichong took advantage of this great opportunity to destroy Yuan Wendu and other dissidents. Luoyang has since become Wang Shichong's one-way house, and no one can hinder Wang Shichong.

Li Mi lost troops and defeated Yu Wenhuaji enough. Wang Shichong took advantage of the exhaustion of Wagang Army after the war and launched an attack on Wagang Army. Wagang Army was defeated.

For a generation of heroes who dominated the Central Plains, defeat in the first battle would mean defeat. This is why there is no foundation.

Xue Ju Fufeng was able to make a comeback after his defeat, because he had Jincheng Longxi; after Li Shimin's defeat in Qianshuiyuan, Datang did not suffer a serious loss of vitality, because Datang was based on China and Israel.

The wise people have seen Li Mi's shortcomings now, but Li Mi regards himself as the number one prince in the world, full of arrogance and ambition, how can he listen to advice.

The three of Gao Jifu drank mulled wine silently, the atmosphere was very gloomy, but Gao Jifu's thoughts had already gone to the west.

Outside Yiyang City, under Jinping Mountain.

In the camp of the Tang army, in the tent of the Chinese army.

Li Shimin was full of energy, and said directly: "Tomorrow morning, Liu Hongji's troops will attack the city; at noon, Qiu Xinggong's troops will fight outside the city.

Early the next morning, Duan Zhixuan's troops attacked the city, and at noon, Li Anyuan's troops attacked the city.

The four of you keep in mind that in these four battles, you only need to lose and not win, but you must control the casualties."

Hearing Li Shimin's deployment, the four of them were shocked, Qiu Xinggong immediately asked in surprise: "Only lose but not win, what kind of play is this?"

"Doctor mean to feign defeat?" Liu Hongji reacted quickly, raising his eyebrows and asked.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to comfort Qiu Xinggong, nodded and said straightly: "In the past two days, the four of you have lost all four battles. On the third day, I will use all my troops to set up a formation at the foot of Jinping Mountain and fight Duan Da to the death. You guys said Duan Da What would you think?"

Gao Chong couldn't help laughing, and Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "Duan Dada will think that the governor will become angry from embarrassment, and he will raise troops in anger."

Li Shimin nodded, with a smile on his face, "Then I will feign defeat and flee to the west. Do you think Duan Da will chase after him?"

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, "Yes, with such a chain arrangement, I will definitely pursue it."

Fang Xuanling also cheered up and said: "Then lay an ambush in the middle, Duan Da will definitely lose."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

Everyone was amazed when they saw this.

"The governor is resourceful and resourceful. Now, if he applies his ingenious plan to an arrogant person like Duan Da, he will surely win."

"The ingenious plan of the governor will be admired by the generals in the end."

Li Shimin was stunned, then looked at Gao Chong, "This plan is a gift from Youzhi."

Gao Chong was stunned, so he could only sit upright without changing his face, with a calm and breezy appearance, and the generals were even more amazed when they saw this.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Hongji acted according to the order, and attacked Yiyang City violently without warning. He once climbed to the top of the city, and then the Sui army who reacted desperately fought back, causing hundreds of casualties. Liu Hongji retreated angrily.

At least on the surface, it doesn't look like a feint at all. After all, the sudden onslaught indeed caused Tang Jun to climb to the top of the city. Half a day later, Qiu Xinggong followed suit and personally attacked the city. He was shot with arrows and dripping with blood. Only then did Qiu Xinggong retreat cursing.

From far outside the city, one could vaguely see Duan Da laughing triumphantly at the top of the city. Li Shimin was really angry and wished to shoot him through with an arrow.

Gao Chong watched two sieges in a row, but frowned and said, "If we attack two more games tomorrow, will it look too deliberate?"

Li Shimin paused, restrained his anger, frowned and thought: "You are worried that Duan Da will see something?"

Gao Chong nodded, squinting his eyes and looking at Duan Da in the golden armor and long beard on the city wall, "Four games in a row, all with small defeats, if I were Duan Da, I would think, what is your purpose of attacking the city? What's the point of keeping 1 to [-] Sui troops, [-] people attacking the city, hundreds of casualties, and then retreating?"

Li Shimin frowned and remained silent, Gao Chong continued: "And two days in a row, four games in a row, the pattern is so similar, I'm afraid Duan Da has never seen it in the army for decades, right?"

"Thanks to Youzhi's reminder," Li Shimin slapped his head, "That guy Duan Da is cunning and ruthless, with rich experience, such obvious repeated frauds really arouse suspicion, so according to Youzhi, how should we arrange it?"

Gao Chong already had a draft in mind, and said directly: "In the past few days, Duan Da has been playing steadily, never taking risks, obviously consuming us, Duan Dading knows that I don't have much food to wait for.

Starting from tonight, the camp began to reduce cooking stoves, don't reduce too much at one time, continue to fight tomorrow, continue to reduce cooking stoves, and create an appearance for Duan Da that we are short of food and eager for a quick battle. ".
