    ?

    As soon as Li Shimin returned to his camp, he saw Du Qi coming.

    When Du Qi was seated, Li Shimin said: "Erlang, the crown prince asked me to go just now, and it was indeed as expected. He wanted to force me to break through Quzhou County, and he set a time limit of three days. I was asked to break through Quzhou County within three days."  County. Otherwise, I will be punished.¡±

    Du Qi smiled and said, "What did Your Highness say?"

    Li Shimin said: "What else can I do? According to the previous agreement, the king directly broke out and directly rejected the prince's order, saying that if he wants to play or dismiss my official position, he is free to do so. In short, as long as I withdraw  With my position, it is impossible for the people in the Prince Qin Palace to cooperate fully, and they may even be delayed, causing Li Jiancheng to be trapped in the war in Hebei."

    Speaking of this, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and said: "In the end, the crown prince chose to surrender, so he didn't care how we attacked Quzhou County, and just waited for the news of the big victory to come back."

    Du Qidao: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

    Li Shimin sighed: "Actually, if the king had broken up with the crown prince earlier, directly stated the interests and frightened him, then the situation in Hebei might have been calmed down long ago. It would not be possible to let Li Daoxuan, Luo Shixin and Yin  These generals from Kaishan all died in Hebei."

    At this moment, Li Shimin's mood was a little depressed.

    He thinks these people died unjustly.

    It's not that he was really defeated and killed, but because he was calculated, so that he died on the battlefield.

    Du Qi said in relief: "Your Highness is wrong. If there is no defeat in Sanjiangkou, and Li Jiancheng knows the strength of Liu Heitai, he cannot be threatened. Because Li Jiancheng knows Liu Heitai's strength, it is  He can't be defeated by his strength, so Li Jiancheng will hold back. Otherwise, Li Jiancheng will think that he is enough to win."

    After Li Shimin heard it, he nodded and said, "That's true."

    He knew Li Jiancheng.

    This is a person who will not die until the Yellow River, and will not cry when he sees the coffin, and he will only change after hitting the south wall.

    This is Li Jiancheng's nature.

    Li Shimin changed the subject and said: "There is nothing wrong with the prince now. Then, the next step is to attack Quzhou County. Erlang, how is the news going?"

    "Yes!"

    Du Qidao: "All kinds of news have been found out, and now I have chosen a strategy to defeat the enemy."

    Li Shimin said: "Let's hear it!"

    Du Qi said seriously: "The moat in Quzhou County is living water, not stagnant water. Moreover, the branch of Mingshui directly runs through the entire Quzhou County, flowing in from the south of the city, and then flowing out from the north of the city."

    "Liu Heita's army mainly draws water from the river."

    "Because this is running water, the water is constantly flowing, even if you apply medicine, it will not be of much use. After all, if the water washes away, no matter how much medicine is used, the medicine will lose its effect."

    "Prescribing medicine won't work."

    Du Qi talked eloquently, talking about the news he found out.

    There was a smile in Li Shimin's eyes, and he asked, "Erlang, you mentioned that this branch of Mingshui crosses the north and south of Quzhou County. Now it's May, and the weather is getting warmer. Then, can our people follow along?"  Dive into the city directly by following the water of the river. As long as some of us enter the city as internal support, it will be easy to break through Quzhou County."

    "Difficult, impossible!"

    Du Qi shook his head and answered.

    Li Shimin said: "Why?"

    Du Qidao: "The entrance to the south of the city and the exit from the north of the city are fenced in the river. It is impossible for our soldiers to dive into the city."

    Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and then a gleam of joy flashed across Li Shimin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Could it be that Erlang, your plan is to build a dam upstream and flood the entire Quzhou County. Now it is about to enter the flood season.  As long as a dam is built upstream, the river will swell, and after the flood, the water entering the city will be enough to submerge the city."

    Du Qi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this is impossible!"

    Li Shimin said: "Why?"

    Du Qidao: "As I said just now, there are fences at the water inlet and outlet. These are used to divert the flow and can discharge a certain amount of water. In addition, the moat also flows to the other side of the river, which is also sufficient for flood discharge. The most important thing  Unfortunately, although the river is approaching the stage of flooding, there has not been a lot of rain, and there have been no floods recently, so it is not easy to build dams to release water."

    Li Shimin's cheeks twitched when he heard it.

    ???'s suggestion was rejected one after another, obviously it didn't work.

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, in the current situation, what should you do?"

    Du Qidao: "His Royal Highness, it is already impossible to start with the Mingshui River. However, in Quzhou County, there is a family surnamed Qu. This is a century-old family in Quzhou County."

    "According to the information obtained, when the Turks went south to plunder in the early years, the ancestors of the Qu family organized the people of Quzhou County to resist the Turks. Although they prevented the Turks from invading Quzhou County, the ancestors of the Qu family were also shot.  died."

    "With this premise, Beizhi thinks it is an entry point, and we can try to lobby the Qu family."

    "My plan is to sneak into Quzhou County and meet the patriarch of the Qu family first. If the members of the Qu family are willing to cooperate, such a century-old family background is enough to serve as your Highness' internal support."

    Du Qi said: "It will be easy to break Quzhou County at that time. This is the plan of the humble official. Of course, if this plan does not work, then consider other strategies."

    After Li Shimin heard it, he nodded and said, "Who is going to persuade the head of the Qu family?"

    "Of course it's me!"

    Du Qi spoke without hesitation.

    Li Shimin shook his head and said: "No, no, it's not good if you sneak into the city and encounter danger. Such a plan is too risky."

    Du Qi said: "Your Highness, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others are not here. The eloquent counselors are all transferred away. If I don't go at this time, who can go? Your Highness, this is  There is no choice."

    After a pause, Du Qi said again: "What's more, I arranged for someone to inquire about the news of the Qu family. I am familiar with the situation of the Qu family. Therefore, it is most appropriate for me to go there."

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, must you?"

    Du Qidao: "It's up to me!"

    Li Shimin sighed, nodded and said: "Forget it, since you insist on going, this king will not stop you. And you are also a person with your own opinions, so you should be able to distinguish between serious and serious. I only have one sentence, pay attention to safety."

    "yes!"

    Du Qi said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I promise to complete the task."

    Li Shimin asked: "When will we act?"

    Du Qidao: "If you want to sneak into Quzhou County, you definitely can't do it during the daytime. After all, there are many people lurking on the city tower. I can only ask Mo Ledo to take me to hide under the city wall after dark, let him climb over the city wall, and lead me to the city.  Sneak into the city with me."

    Li Shimin said: "Be careful."

    Du Qidao: "Understood!"

    Only then did Li Shimin nod his head.

    Du Qi is now the only adviser around Li Shimin, and Li Shimin cherishes it very much.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
