After hearing what Liu Hongji said, Fang Xuanling said, "Brother Liu's concerns are not an unreasonable concern. Brother Keming, what do you think about this?"

Du Ruhui was wearing a thick felt on the side, looking a little weak, but no one present dared to underestimate the wisdom contained in this weak body.

Du Ruhui coughed a few times and said, "From the current situation, as long as Lord Zhao does not capture Yongnian City for one day, it will be impossible to cross south in one day."

"What if we capture Yongnian City? We can't put our hopes on how long Liu Heita can stay." Liu Hongji asked.

Du Ruhui said, "You said it's right. It's up to you, but you can't seek others. However, even if the Zhao army captured Yongnian City, Master Zhao still needs time to digest Hebei, win over Hebei geniuses, eliminate Liu Heita, Yu Wenhe's confidants, and build Shandong Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong. These are not something that can be done in a few months."

After hearing Du Ruhui say this, everyone nodded.

"However," Du Ruhui changed the subject, "But if Li Chongjiu Zhen digested the Hebei area and invaded the south with all his might, then we must also prepare first."

"I dare to ask where to get up?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Du Ruhui coughed a few more times, his face looked a little pale. He said intently: "First of all, there are Huaizhou and Heyang, which are owned by Wang Shichong. Huaizhou is the only place north of the Yellow River in Zheng State. Heyang three cities connect to Henei in the north and to Luoyang in the south. If our army can break through this place, it will be cleared from the passage north of Luoyang and the danger of the Yellow River. First, it will prevent the Zhao army from going up the river and reinforce Luoyang."

"Good!" Li Shimin said with his hands together.

Du Ruhui said, "It is only the first step to capture Huaizhou and Heyang. Wang Shichong is trapped in Luoyang. If the way to siege the city cannot attack it ten times, then he must cut off his support and cut off his food. If he can retrieve Luo, Luokou and three warehouses of Jia, he can not only cut off the Luoyang grain road, but also support our army to avoid the suffering of fortune from thousands of miles of Guanzhong. The city of Luoyang has a large number of people and little food, and he will be destroyed every day."

When all the generals listened to Du Ruhui's words, Du Ruhui's opinions were to stop Luoyang's help, and the other was to stop Luoyang's food, which were both true insights.

"I think Luoyang City has already been captured by these two things." Liu Hongjilang said with a smile. It is not difficult to use the Tang army's military strength now, so he is very optimistic.

"It's good in general, but it's not a complete solution." Du Ruhui said.

"What is a truly complete solution?" Liu Hongji couldn't help but ask.

Du Ruhui took a bamboo stick and fluctuated in the fire, saying, "If you want to put out the fire, you must eliminate the fire. If you want to truly eliminate the torch of Wang Shichong, you must conquer the Huzhuo. The way to the east will be eliminated."

Hearing the word "Hulao", Li Shimin's tiger's eyes moved. Liu Hongji said, "Hulao, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang confronted each other here, and fought for seventy. A small battle for forty, Liu Bang was almost in a position to guard it, so that the King of Chu could not go further."

"That's true. Hulao can not only stop Wang Shichong from the way to the east, but also resist the enemy in the east." Du Ruhui said solemnly, "If Zhao mainly devotes his entire army to support Zheng, the road is only two ways. One is to send troops from Wei County, capture the land of Henoi, seize the three cities of Heyang, and then cross the Yellow River to support Luoyang by Mengjin."

Liu Hongji immediately clapped his legs and said, "I understand, so Brother Du just said that he would take over the three cities of Heyang and Huaizhou as the first priority to prevent Li Chongjiu from reinforcements from Hebei."

Fang Xuanling said, "Originally, there is no need to worry about this journey, but Li Chongjiu defeated Yu Wenji and sent general Wang Ma Han to lead 10,000 troops to Wei County. Could it be that it is for this purpose? No wonder he dared to send an edict to the world. It turns out that Wei County is so critical."

Li Shimin said, "It's okay. Even if Li Chongjiu captured Hanoi, as long as the three cities of Heyang are in the hands of our army, the Zhao army will have no chance at all."

You should know that the situation in Luoyang is blocked by the Yellow River in the north, and the other three sides are dangerous with mountains and rivers, which can be called the four blocks of mountains and rivers. Generally speaking, Tongguan rejects the west and stifle the danger of the Han; Hulao blocks the east; Yique, Longmen blocks the south; Mengjin blocks the north.

Luoyang is even more firm in the north. In addition to the Yellow River, there is also Beimang Mountain blocking the southern bank. It is necessary to know that Beimang Mountain has hundreds of miles east-west crossing, so it is necessary to cross the river from the north of the Yellow River to Luoyang. There is only Mengjin Road at the ferry entrance.

The three cities of Heyang guard the Mengjin Ferry.

The three cities of Heyang are North Central City, Zhongtan City and South City. Among them, North Central City is built on the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhongtan City is built on the Shazhou in the middle of the river, and the South City is built on the south bank and facing the river. The three cities are located in the north of Luoyang, and the Yellow River flows through it, and each city is connected by a river bridge.

With the three cities of Heyang, the Zhao army is difficult to capture as long as it is in the hands of the Tang army without time.

Therefore, Li Shimin said that as long as the three cities of Heyang are in control and Zhao's army crosses the river from Mengjin to help, there will be no chance.

Liu Hongji knew that Li Shimin had sent Huaizhou chief manager Huang Junhan to attack Heyang, and Luzhou chief manager Liu Dewei to attack Huaizhou. Both of them were brave generals of the Tang army. The problem of attacking Huaizhou and Heyang should be not big.

What's more, even if Li Chongjiu attacked the road, there were two generals guarding Hedong who were defending Hedong to resist. They were Li Chen, the general manager of Jiangzhou, and Li Shentong, the ambassador of Shandong Province who had been losing troops and losing generals.

Now the generals returned to the Huzhu.

Du Ruhui said, "If the Zhao army did not go to Wei County, Henoi and Heyang cross the river and assisted Luoyang from the north, then the only way was to cross the Yellow River from Liyang to Baima City, and then advance westward in Guxing. In this way, Hulao Pass is the only way for the Zhao army to enter the west and aid Zheng."

After hearing Du Ruhui say this, everyone suddenly realized that on all sides of Luoyang, the Tang army attacked Luoyang from Tongguan in the east and Longmen in the south. Li Chongjiu wanted to aid Zheng, so he could only go to Mengjin in the north or Hulao in the west.

Liu Hongji said, "But this journey is not easy to go. First of all, the soldiers and food in Liyangcang need to be turned around thousands of miles by land, and the troops are laboring, and the journey is farther than going to Mengjin."

"But the victory is safe," Fang Xuanling said, "Advancing from the west can also get the support of Wang Shichong's Henan troops and Wang Bo. After joining forces, the momentum will be greatly boosted."

Liu Hongji said, "I understand, so for the sake of a complete plan, we must guard Hulao. One man in Hulao Pass should be ten thousand men. As long as our army blocks it with elite troops, the Zhao army will have no choice but to have a 100,000 army."

After everyone discussed, everyone nodded. Li Shimin remained silent and was thinking deeply after listening to everyone's opinions.

No one knows that the three conditions proposed by Du Ruhui during the military discussion were really coincided with the three conditions proposed by Li Chongjiu and Wang Shichong's envoy Du Yan. This battle between the Three Kingdoms, which was related to the Tang, Zheng and Zhao, was also concluded here.

While everyone was discussing, the door of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a lot of wind and snow were poured into the tent from outside.

"Okay, brother, you are discussing something big here, why don't you call me? Is there anything big to deceive me?"

The person who spoke was Li Yuanji, the King of Qi. When the generals saw the other party coming here, they stood up and bowed together.

Li Shimin sat still and asked, "King Qi, what do you mean?"

Li Yuanji smiled and walked to the campfire and said, "Second brother, you are too sensitive. I just asked this by the way. But at least I am also the deputy general of the fight against Wang Shichong. Please don't hide it from me about military affairs."

Li Shimin said, "Who is hiding you? It's just that you are indifferent to this on weekdays. When I just got off the camp, I inspected the military camp for a week, but you were drinking fine wine with your personal soldiers in the tent. This is a matter."

Li Yuanji's face changed. He was running around in the army, and there were no women in the army, so there were always young and beautiful young men around him who were used as personal soldiers to relieve his boredom.

After Li Shimin revealed this, everyone's eyes were cold, and they looked at Li Yuanji with contempt.

Li Yuanji was furious when he saw the generals. This time he was appointed by Li Jiancheng to prevent Li Shimin from being authoritarian and let Li Yuanji win over some generals in the army. However, Li Shimin said this in person, and Li Yuanji was disgraced. How could someone serve him? What's even more annoying is that Li Shimin still said it in public.

Li Yuanji said furiously: "Second brother, what are you saying? I am a good person like Longyang. Second brother, I just kindly remind you, Father, the emperor, don't say it, but it doesn't mean I don't know, I'm not blind, I haven't seen it for a month after going to war. Today I'm here, let's explain it clearly, don't pull mountains in the army, build factions, and all the generals, the Qin King Party, the Eighteenth Scholars, there is only one Qin King in my eyes. Don't forget that you are first and foremost ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as this statement was made, Li Yuanji offended everyone in the tent. The generals dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"Fourth brother!" Li Shimin slapped the table.

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "King Qin and King Qi, don't be angry. They are both brothers and their own people. They can only talk and make fun of anything. When the soldiers outside heard it, they can't make any trouble. They thought that our generals were in conflict, which shook the morale of the army."

Li Yuanji also sneered repeatedly. He pulled him outside for his trusted generals and turned around and said, "Is that so? Second brother, it's not easy to attack Luoyang. Don't forget that our Li family's children are not the only one who can fight. You are not the only one who can defeat the world."

"You are not worthy of saying this to me." Li Shimin said in a cold voice.

Li Yuanji walked to the tent and shouted: "I don't deserve to carry my shoes to my second brother, but I'm not the only one in my family. You don't know yet. This time the Turkic army invaded Hexi, and the father has re-activated the third sister and took charge of the command to fight against the Turks. Haha."

When Li Shimin heard Li Yuanji say this, he was slightly stunned. He didn't know about this beforehand.

Li Yuanji's laughter drifted away from outside the tent, Li Shimin pondered in the tent, and everyone on both sides retreated, leaving only Fang Xuanling, a confidant.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, King Qin, Huai'an is defeated in Hebei, and the Hejian County Prince attacked Sichuan and Shu, and now there is no one to send among the Li family's nephews. But fortunately, the princess is a daughter, and even if she takes charge of military power, it will not pose a threat to Your Highness."
