Li Shimin, Xue Shou, and Du Ruhui were standing on a high place, looking at the retreating Xia army from a distance.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Han is really a good boy! Now not only Wang Shichong is suspicious, but even Dou Jiande is starting to panic! You see, when they retreated, it was a complete mess!" Fang Xuanling pointed to the people who were leaving.
Xia Jun laughed!
Although he didn't know what method Xiao Han used to scare Wang Shichong away, as long as the enemy retreated, that was enough! After all, the battlefield is a place that only looks at the results, not the process!
Fang Xuanling's excited words immediately aroused the approval of the surrounding people, and even those as wise as Du Ruhui nodded their heads.
Even the corner of Xue Shou's mouth raised a slight smile.
By the way, since Xiao Han and Xue Pan got together, his uncle-in-law has never had a good attitude towards Xiao Han.
But here, probably only he himself knows how satisfied and proud he is with Xiao Han, his "brother-in-law-to-be."
As for the usual indifference and scolding, it was just the feeling of loss as an older brother that his sister was deceived by another man.
The enemies receded like a tide, and accordingly, the people of the Tang Dynasty were all rejoicing! But among them, no one noticed that Li Shimin's expression was very complicated.
"Dou Jiande is arrogant and arrogant! If given the chance, take the initiative!"
The words sent by Xiao Han echoed in his mind over and over again. At the same time, a crazy idea gradually took shape in Li Shimin's mind!
"Opportunity? Are you talking about now?"
Slowly raise the telescope and look forward.
In the slightly blurred vision of the lens, Xia Jun retreated to a safe place and sat down on the ground tiredly.
There was no defense or vigilance arrangement, and the entire army was just in chaos, with no order at all.
After seeing all this clearly, Li Shimin's hands were shaking a little. He put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes fiercely, and looked carefully again!
"Eh? King Qin, what's wrong with you?" Finally, Li Shimin's strange behavior caught Fang Xuanling's attention.
When Li Shimin was sure that he had not seen any details wrong, he finally put down the telescope.
He took a deep breath, then looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "I'm thinking, what will happen if we take the initiative to kill now?"
"Take the initiative?" Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "But we are few..."
Li Shimin clenched his fist fiercely and said coldly: "Yes! We have few people! But it is because of the few people that Dou Jiande is so careless about us! Now Xiao Han can stop an enemy of 100,000 with 5,000 people. We have only 100,000 soldiers here."
So what if we have more generals and more troops to attack twice as many enemies?!"
"this……"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone who was happy just now fell silent. They couldn't accept Li Shimin's bold and crazy idea for a while.
After all, this is too risky!
In their opinion, as long as it takes two days, the Xia army will inevitably retreat due to food and grass problems!
If that's the case, then why bother taking risks?
If this fails, the fate of the country will be at stake!
"Actually, I think, as long as we hold Hulao Pass now, it will be a great victory..." Someone in the crowd murmured in a low voice.
Li Shimin frowned when he heard this and said resolutely: "We are not Wang Shichong. Defending the city will result in being a coward, or we will be surrounded and beaten!"
"Then this is too dangerous. What if someone sets an ambush?" The voice sounded again.
Li Shimin sneered: "Ambush? Hum, now we ourselves don't even think that we will take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and Dou Jiande certainly doesn't think of it!"
"But……"
Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt the man's words, and said resolutely: "There is no but! Now the Xia Army's lineup is scattered and the soldiers are extremely tired. This is the best time for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. As the saying goes, if God doesn't take it, you will suffer!
If any of you agree, please tell me directly!"
"I support sending troops!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, his good friend Xue Shou stood firmly next to him!
"The situation in Luoyang is too dangerous. If one mistake is made, not only will Xiao Han's entire army be annihilated, but we will also be trapped in a dilemma where we are attacked from both sides! Therefore, I agree to send troops. Even if we cannot defeat the enemy, at least we will make them use the enemy's weapons!"
"Okay! I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"Grandma, you're a bear, just hit her! If you die, you'll die, and you won't die for eternity! I've done it!"
Seeing that Xue Shou and others made up their minds immediately, when the others saw this, they immediately took the risk too!
Just do it! Who is afraid of whom? The worst case scenario is death. Anyway, when you go to the battlefield, you just keep your head on your belt. If it falls off, you should be lucky. If you don't, you're lucky!
At this time, most people agreed to send troops. Even if some people were extremely reluctant, they could only hold their words in their stomachs and put on an impassioned look on their faces.
Cowards are the most vicious words on the battlefield. They would rather die than be labeled with these two words!
The team quickly came to a unified mind and decided to go out of the city to fight. At the same time, preparations for Hulao Pass began in full swing.
Facing the Xia army, which still had more than 100,000 troops, Xue Shou and Li Shimin, after urgent discussions, both believed that a head-on confrontation was of little significance and that only surprise troops could win.
"What is a surprise weapon?" Fang Xuanling asked, stroking his beard.
Xue Shou replied calmly: "The enemy's surprise is called surprise!"
Fang Xuanling stared at Xue Shou and continued to ask: "Then how can we avoid the enemy's surprise?"
Xue Tong looked at the crowd and raised one hand to point to the west: "Have you ever remembered how Xue Ju defeated our army when we were in Gao'an?"
"Gao'an?"
Suddenly hearing this name, the expressions of Li Shimin and others changed instantly! Then the next moment, they all turned their heads and looked at the mountains stretching on both sides of Hulao Pass.
Dou Jiande's position five miles away from Hulao Pass.
Xia Jun, who had not received a drop of water for a day, just lay down in the mud carelessly, not even avoiding the rain. He just opened his big mouth and let the rain pour into his mouth, which also saved them from going to the river.
Dou Jiande naturally saw the chaos in the army.
He originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the tired looks of the soldiers, Dou Jiande moved his mouth and finally endured it!
"Hey, there won't be any danger here anyway, just let them have a rest." Dou Jiande sighed and thought.
Proud and arrogant, but also soft-hearted.
These are the two fatal mistakes Dou Jiande made today!
Moreover, right after that, he issued another order, which completely determined the tragic fate of Daxia Kingdom in the future!
"Come here, go bury the pot and make rice! No more fighting today!"
