"Oh? I wonder if General Luo has any brilliant ideas?"
Li Shi Min looked at Luo Shi Xin curiously.
Luo Shixin picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp before speaking slowly.
"Ever since His Highness came out of seclusion, he has fought with Liu Heita. Liu Heita has suffered defeat after defeat, losing 20,000 of his 50,000 soldiers, but he still has 30,000.”
"Thirty thousand Handong soldiers, with the intention of avenging Dou Jiande, their morale is high.”
"Even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory.”
"And most importantly, if Your Highness crosses the river to fight, once we fall into a stalemate, Gao Zhandao and Xu Yuanlang will send troops to reinforce us. At that time, we might even be defeated, let alone annihilate the Handong Army. Moreover, within Liu Heita's Handong Army, there were also Jie Li's 3,000 Turkic cavalry. The Turkic cavalry were famous throughout the world, and this was a force that could not be underestimated.”
Luo Shixin slowly explained the current situation. Li Shimin nodded repeatedly. Qin Qiong also secretly observed Luo Shixin. Only Cheng Yaojin was still confused like a King Kong.
"What does General Luo think about the current situation?”Li Shi Min asked.
"One word: Wait!" Luo Shixin said.
"Wait? Until when? Are we going to wait until Liu Heita kills herself?" Cheng Yaojin said in a hoarse voice.
Luo Shixin chuckled,"When the Handong Army's morale falls apart, Liu Heita can't wait anymore."”
"What do you mean?" Li Shi Min said.
" His Highness and Luo Yi's alliance army has already surrounded Mingzhou, and the grain routes in Mingzhou have been cut off. I have roughly calculated that after such a long stalemate, Liu Heita's rations are running low. At most, he can last for two more months.”
"Right now, the Handong Army is still victorious, but I believe that not long after, when their rations run out, the Handong Army will definitely lose their morale. That will be the best time for us to attack and defeat Liu Heita.”
"Presumably, this is the reason why Your Highness has maintained this attitude of surrounding but not killing.”Luo Shixin looked at Li Shiming.
"General Luo is right."
Li Shi Min looked at Luo Shi Xin with admiration, but at the same time, he felt very strange.
Although he was the leader, he still knew Luo Shixin very well. Luo Shixin was a brave person. He charged into the battlefield and took the heads of the enemy generals as if they were in his pocket. He was an unparalleled fierce general. Although he was not stupid, he was definitely not a commander who was familiar with the art of war.
However, from the looks of it now, Luo Shixin was definitely not the same person he knew before.
Why did he suddenly become enlightened?
Could it be because of the bloody battles over the past few days?
Li Shi Min shook his head in confusion.
Not to mention him, even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who were most familiar with Luo Shixin, were extremely puzzled.
Even though it was strange, the two of them were extremely happy because they truly treated Luo Shixin as a brother.
They sincerely hoped that Luo Shixin would live better and better.
"And if we push too hard, Liu Heita will be forced to defect to the Turks. This is probably the last thing Your Highness wants to see.”Luo Shixin said.
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed.
"General Luo is right. If you don't get rid of the roots, the grass will grow again. If we force our way across the river, even if we can destroy the Handong Army, if Liu Heita escapes to the Turks, he will borrow the Turkic army and become a great threat to the Great Tang.”
Luo Shixin nodded.
In history, although Liu Heita was defeated by Li Shimin in the battle of Mingshui, he was not captured and escaped to the Turks.
Not long after, with the help of Jie Li, he once again sent troops to invade and conquered several cities. He also killed the general manager of the Hebei Road Army, Huaiyang Prince Li Daoxuan. He had beaten the former Duke Shi Wanbao until he fled on light cavalry, and Ming Zhou's Manager Li Yuan had abandoned the city and fled, causing great trouble for the Great Tang.
In the end, it was Li Yuan who sent Li Yuanji and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng to defeat and kill Liu Heita.
"Since General Luo is so clear about the current situation, do you have any good ideas?”Li Shi Min asked.
"It's very simple. Abandon the city."
The moment Luo Shixin said this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Especially Li Shi Min, he knew very well which city Luo Shi Xin was talking about. It was Ming Shui City, which Luo Shi Xin had guarded for eight days and eight nights.
Although Bright Water City was not big and was only a small city, its geographical location was extremely important. If they were to abandon the city just like that, wouldn't all their previous efforts be wasted?
Although he was shocked, Li Shi Min didn't say anything.
He just looked at Luo Shixin quietly. Since Luo Shixin could say something like abandoning the city, it meant that he already had a better plan in mind.
Li Shi Min was also looking forward to it.
What kind of unexpected tricks would this legendary simple-minded general bring him?
