Chapter 15 Maybe it's a coincidence
Before Li Shimin received the exact news from Liu Heita, his heart was still full of anxiety.
Liu Heita had already colluded with the Turks. If he ran away, he would definitely get help from the Turks and make a comeback. In the past six months, his efforts were in vain.
But soon he knew that he was worried. After the Mingshui River stabilized a little, Li Shimin got the news that Luo Shixin captured Liu Heita alive and took Mingzhou, and couldn't help but recall the scene that day:
"Have you met the King of Qin!"
Li Shimin was still very strange about Luo Shixin's request for advice at that time. In his image, Luo Shixin was a first-class general than Mang General, but he was not a famous general.
The three generals, tiger generals, and famous generals seem to be similar, but when they are separated carefully, they are very knowledgeable. The generals are undoubtedly the kind of generals who charge in battle, destroy evil and defeat the enemy, and use one person to be brave and motivate thousands of troops, but they are difficult to take on the responsibility of great responsibilities due to various factors. Famous generals have their own style, their own ideas, know military tactics, can stand on their own, and can also take on the commander's responsibilities at critical moments. A fierce general generally refers to a general who can fight with a clever mind than a general who is more sensible than a general but lacks his own style and cannot truly stand on their own. Such people can complete the tasks assigned to him well, and their efficiency is even greater than that of a famous general, but once they need to be pursuing great wisdom, they are inferior.
Luo Shixin is such a powerful general, brave in combat, clever and lacks great wisdom. Therefore, Luo Shixin basically won't look for him, and he will not rashly go to Luo Shixin to discuss military and national affairs.
But when Luo Shixin spoke that day, Li Shimin was immediately shocked.
"Your Highness, I have a plan to defeat Liu Heita." Luo Shixin said as if he was decent.
At that time, although Li Shimin didn't think Luo Shixin's idea could surpass his conspiracy with Fang Du, he was curious to let Luo Shixin express his opinion.
Luo Shixin said seriously: "Liu Heita has already entered the plot of Your Highness, and now it is a dilemma of enemies. The only way to survive is to fight to the death, so the last time the guy is expected to send troops to cross the river and fight to the death with our army. Our army has the advantage of numerical numbers. If they want to break the situation, they can only effectively imitate Han Xin's battle against the water. Our army can store water and build a dam upstream of Mingshui. If the war is not going well, the method of water attack can be practiced. If the war is going well, it can also attack water, cut off its retreat and capture Liu Heita in one net."
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt a little unsatisfied and skeptical. Perhaps because of his youth and talent, Li Shimin is a very arrogant and narcissistic person. The way he and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui just discussed to break the enemy was asked Luo Shixin to put it out as a suggestion, and he felt that he had a similar feeling.
But it feels wrong. If it is proposed by famous generals like Li Shiji and Hou Junji, the heroes' views are similar and they can be used in place. Luo Shixin is obviously one level away from them, which is slightly the same as what he sees, and it is a bit of a loss of price!
Could it be that I have been misleading?
Is there a famous general with potential to always use it as a fierce future?
Just as he was about to look at Luo Shixin again.
Luo Shixin spoke again: "But this plan has a fatal flaw."
Because of the similar views, Li Shimin finally faced Luo Shixin's view and asked, "What are the flaws?"
Luo Shixin said: "After breaking the dike and water release the water, the flood will flock to it, which will directly lead to a sharp rise in the Mingshui water level for a period of time, making it difficult to cross the river. This situation will be the case for both sides of the enemy and us. If Liu Heita sees that the situation is not good and secretly crosses the river before the Mingshui water breaks the dike, then Mingshui cannot cross it, which will become an obstacle for us to pursue Liu Heita."
When Luo Shixin said this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were moved one after another.
People are negligent, even the geniuses of the world like Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were the same. They thought of digging Mingshui to cut off the retreat of the Han Eastern Army, but they carelessly ignored what if Liu Heita ran away before digging the water.
"So the last general proposed that when Liu Heita crosses the river and starts war with our army, he will lead his elite troops to cross the river and block the deserters of the Han East Army."
Li Shimin did not want Luo Shixin to accept this task, intercept the remaining soldiers or something, just send one person. A powerful general like Luo Shixin should use it on the front battlefield, so he refused. In order to comfort the general who might have misunderstood, he launched a trick of fooling around: "General Shixin is a general of tiger and bear, and he charges in battle without anyone to stop him. When Liu Heita fights to the decisive battle, the general must do his best. It is really a talent for the general to intercept the remaining defeated soldiers."
Luo Shixin is so easy to fool now, and immediately said shamelessly: "Otherwise, the number of people blocking this is not because there are many people, they must be strong. Only by having enough strength can you be foolproof and ensure that Liu Heita cannot escape. So I think that I will be the most suitable one."
Because this was a private discussion, not a military conference, nor an appointment, Luo Shixin was ruthless to ask for this task, and Li Shimin couldn't act like a commander, and used military orders to suppress Luo Shixin to accept it.
In the end, Du Ruhui helped Luo Shixin and suggested: "Liu Heita is particularly critical, and General Luo's proposal is not without reason."
Li Shimin was not persisting, but in the final analysis, it was because the Tang army had too many talents: not to mention famous figures such as Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Chai Shao, Changsun Shunde, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Gongjin were all brave generals, and Luo Shixin was really a lot of heart.
Li Shimin has been tangled with Luo Shixin's changes these days, especially with great confusion about his behavior of biting and disposing of the remnants of the East Han Army. Liu Heita has been lingering for so many years and is also a well-known figure and a heroic man. It is unlikely that he can run away if he says he can run away. It is also because it is not great that Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui ignored the fact that Liu Heita would run away and did not send anyone to intercept him.
He did not take any credit for charging and ran to the back and waited for the world to fall into pieces. His slim character was really incomprehensible.
What is even more incomprehensible is that Liu Heita was really cowardly, and he left behind his reputation for a lifetime, causing the pie to hit Luo Shixin's face.
Mingshui fought to the death, offered plans to defeat the enemy, captured Liu Heita... Li Shimin felt embarrassed if he did not list Luo Shixin as the first person in the merit book of this battle.
The more I thought about Luo Shixin's persistence that night, the more Li Shimin felt: Luo Shixin's persistence was for Liu Heita.
"Do you think that boy has seen this step long ago?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask secretly. Only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who could hear him were the only ones who could hear him.
Fang Du and the others, you look at me with an embarrassed look on your face.
"Or... maybe it's a coincidence!" Fang Xuanling felt like Li Shimin in his heart, and he also felt that Luo Shixin was heading towards Liu Heita. But Liu Heita's abnormal behavior was not at all obvious. How could Luo Shixin be so sure?
