I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Jiancheng quickly told about Xue Wanche's defeat, and Wei Zheng's cheeks twitched after hearing this.When Li Shimin attacked Mingshui County earlier, he had a bad feeling. He always felt that Li Shimin might break Mingshui County.In the end, his worries came true, and Li Shimin had indeed broken Mingshui County.

When Xue Wanche led the army to pursue Liu Heita, Wei Zheng felt something was wrong, but Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Shentong all looked excited, and he didn't speak to persuade him. Unexpectedly, his worries became reality again.

Wei Zheng sighed heartily.

Could it be that God didn't bless Prince Li Jiancheng?

If not, how could they lose at the two most critical moments in succession?

When Wei Zheng lost his mind, Li Jiancheng said: "Xuancheng, now that Xue Wanche is defeated, he will definitely lose his troops. How can we fight this battle?"

Wei Zheng quickly regained his composure after a brief absence.He thought quickly, and then said: "Your Highness, since the incident has already happened, it is useless to pursue responsibility. There are three things to do now."

Li Jiancheng said: "Say!"

Wei Zheng said: "First, appease Xue Wanche."

"Xue Wanche is capable, but his strategy is not good. It is very good to use him as a general. Besides, there is a lack of generals around His Royal Highness, so after Xue Wanche comes back, His Royal Highness can blame him, but more importantly, he must be blamed. Encourage him to let him know his shame and be brave, so that he can get rid of his shame."

"Second, it is to encourage the soldiers in the army."

"So many soldiers were killed and injured in this battle, not because of Liu Heita, but because of the Turks. Therefore, we use the Turks to boost morale, make the soldiers be cautious, and let them be full of hatred for the Turks, so that they can take revenge."

"In this way, there will be no shadows in the hearts of the lieutenant soldiers, but they will have high fighting spirit. Otherwise, if you don't

Reasonable, it is very likely that morale will be low and the army will have no morale. "

Wei Zheng looked solemn, and continued: "As for the third, it is on the King of Qin. After Xue Wanche's defeat in this battle, we will pay close attention to the direction of Liu Heita's garrison."

"After Liu Heitai settled down in the next stronghold, he sent the King of Qin to attack the fortification again, and let the King of Qin face the forces of the Turks and Liu Heitai. In this way, even if the Turks were strong, even if Liu Heitai was not weak. But Facing the military strength of the King of Qin, Liu Heita and the Turkic people can't get any benefits, and in the end, both sides will suffer."

"For us, it's just reaping the benefits of the fisherman."

"After Liu Heita's strength weakens, we will attack Liu Heita and destroy him in one go."

"This is what we need to do now."

Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness, please think twice."

After Li Jiancheng heard it, he thought about it carefully, with an expression of approval on his face, and said, "Yes, yes, Xuancheng's analysis is very reasonable. Next, we will do this. In a word, we must stabilize the morale of the army and Keep your heart in mind, and then use the strength of the King of Qin to attack Liu Heita."

Wei Zheng said, "That's what it means."

Li Jiancheng discussed the follow-up matters with Wei Zheng again, and after a while, a sentry came in and reported: "His Royal Highness, General Xue Wanche has returned with the army."

"understood!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Tell Xue Wanche, after the soldiers in the army are settled, the crown prince is waiting for Xue Wanche to come."

"Yes!"

The soldier turned to inform.

Not long after, Xue Wanche returned from the army to the main camp of the Chinese army.He was covered in blood, and the blood had dried up, showing a dark purple color, revealing the brutality of the battle.

It was not easy for Xue Wanche to escape.

When he led his troops to rest and take stock, there were about [-] soldiers by his side.The road was narrowed a bit, and another two thousand soldiers came back, and now there are only more than six thousand soldiers around.

Even so, the loss was heavy.

This is almost an unbearable loss.

Xue Wanche walked to the center of the tent, lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Highness, the last general is guilty and has failed the high hopes of the prince. Not only did he fail to kill Liu Heita, but he also lost troops. Thirty thousand troops, The loss of 4000 people will eventually bear the weight of His Royal Highness, His Highness, please punish him."

Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on Xue Wanche, his eyes were sharp.Under that sharp gaze, Xue Wanche lowered his head, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.

Xue Wanche can get Li Jiancheng's attention, he thinks it is an opportunity, so he is very attentive.

Now, it is a loss of face.

Also lost soldiers.

Xue Wanche knocked his head on the ground and remained silent.

Li Jiancheng did this on purpose, he said in a deep voice, "Xue Qing, did the Crown Prince ever distrust you at all?"

"Never!"

Xue Wanche replied.

Li Jiancheng said again: "Is the crown prince never entrusting you with any important responsibilities?"

"Never!"

Xue Wanche replied again.

Li Jiancheng raised his voice and said, "Xue Qing, how did you repay the prince?"

"The last general, the last general..."

Xue Wanche is a warrior, the most important thing is that the king treats me like a soldier of the country and I repay him as a soldier of the country.Li Jiancheng valued him and trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks, but he failed to succeed and failed Li Jiancheng's trust.

Xue Wanche said: "His Royal Highness, the last general will die!"

Li Jiancheng stood up at this time and walked up to Xue Wanche. He looked at Xue Wanche who was kneeling on the ground, and with a clang, he drew his sword out of its sheath.With a sword in his hand, Li Jiancheng said coldly: "Xue Qing, your defeat in the first battle made all the prince's plans come to an end.

Crash as many as possible.All plans are ruined in one day.You, damn it! "

After the words fell, Li Jiancheng raised his sword and swung it down.

Xue Wanche knelt on the ground, narrowed his eyes, as if waiting to die with his eyes closed.He failed in chasing Liu Heita, regardless of whether it was because of the Turkic surprise attack or not, in short he failed.

"brush!"

The blade belongs.

Xue Wanche only felt that a sword had been swept across his head.

In an instant, his temple hair was disheveled, but his hair fell all over the place, and was chopped off by Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng put his long sword into its sheath, and said: "Your body and skin, I received it from my parents. Today, the prince cut your hair in a bun, and I received it on your behalf. Xue Qing, the prince hopes that you will be brave after knowing your shame, and remember today's shame." .If you fail, you can start all over again. As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to take revenge. Therefore, this crown prince will give you another chance."

Xue Wanche was completely excited at this moment.
