Baibi Pass, General Military Office.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, the four gates of White Jade Pass have surrendered. The Dingyang Army has surrendered!”
Zhang Gongjin, Shi Danai, Wang Junke, Xie Yingdeng, and the other generals came to the hall with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin and reported the battle situation tonight.
Li Shi Min was excited. He recorded the merits of the generals and asked,"Did General Cheng kill Song Jin Gang?"”
"No!" Cheng Yaojin straightened his back and shouted,"Although I, Old Cheng, wanted to kill that guy, I didn't find the chance."”
"Oh?" Li Shimin was stunned and looked at Cheng Yaojin with some doubt." Who else could it be but General Cheng? I saw the wound on Song Jingang's head. It was obviously caused by General Cheng's mountain axe."”
"Your Highness!" Yin Shisan walked out from the side and bowed to Li Shimin." I was the one who used General Cheng's axe to chop Song Jingang off his horse!"”
After Yin Shisan finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Including Li Shimin, Xie Yingdeng, Bai Xiandao, Zhang Gongjin, and the others all revealed shocked expressions. They really couldn't tell that Yin Shisan, the strategist, actually had the talent of a Great General.
"Hahaha!"
Li Shiming was the first to react. He quickly walked out from behind the table and grabbed Yin Shisan's arms.
"Good, good, good. Advisor Jun, good!"
Li Shimin said that Liu Bang used three people to pacify the world: Prime Minister Xiao He, Military Advisor Zhang Liang, and Marshal Han Xin. Now that Yin Shisan had Zhang Liang's wisdom and Han Xin's strength, he was able to fight against two of them alone. What was there to be afraid of?
"The King of Qin praises me too much. Yin Thirteen is ashamed!”
It was necessary to be modest. Furthermore, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had just arrived, and Yin Shisan did not want to steal their limelight.
He said to Li Shimin," This time, if it wasn't for General Qin holding Yuchi Jingde back, it would have been very difficult to break into the south gate of White Jade Pass. If the south gate isn't broken, we won't be able to coordinate with the soldiers led by General Ximen Cheng. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to take down White Jade Pass."”
With Li Shiming's intelligence, he knew that Yin Shisan was giving up his credit. However, from Li Shiming's point of view, he did not want to bury Yin Shisan's credit. So, he said," Everyone has contributed. Tomorrow, we will reward the three armies. After we have investigated the situation in Taiyuan, we will attack again!"”
"Thank you, King Qin!"
The crowd cupped their hands at Li Shimin and left the hall.
Li Shiming called Yin Shisan to the back of the study room to discuss the next step of the attack.
"Military advisor, how do you think we should obtain Taiyuan?”
There were only Yin Shisan and Li Shimin in the study. After Li Shimin finished asking, Yin Shisan took out a map from his sleeve and spread it out on the desk.
"Qin Wang, please take a look!"
Li Shimin looked at it and saw that the map was drawn with Taiyuan City as the center. It went north to the Turks, east to Yanyun and other states, southeast to Luoyang, and southwest to Chang 'an.
"Military Advisor, what is the meaning of this?"
Li Shimin asked Yin Shisan how to take down Taiyuan, but looking at the map Yin Shisan unfolded, Li Shimin felt that Yin Shisan seemed to be planning to annex Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and the others 'territories.
"Your Highness, Liu Wuzhou is in the north of Taiyuan, Dou Jiande is in Hebei, and Wang Shichong is holed up in Luoyang. These three are the main enemies of the Great Tang. Since you have been ordered to send troops this time, why don't you wipe them out and return peace to the people of the world?”
Yin Shisan's words made Li Shimin's blood boil. However, with an army in hand, who wouldn't want to dominate the world and become a hero?
However, Li Shimin quickly calmed down." Advisor, when we went to war, my father only gave us 20,000 troops. Including the 2,000 guards of Prince Qin's Mansion, we only had 22,000 men. After the battle at White Wall Pass, although there were not many casualties, only 18,000 men are still able to fight. But Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong all have 100,000 to 200,000 troops, so…"
Yin Shisan understood Li Shiming's concern, but he had a plan for this.
"Qin Wang, now that White Jade Pass has been conquered, Qin Wang will report to the emperor. The emperor will definitely send more troops. At that time, the King of Qin could divide his soldiers into twelve teams, with one person in charge and one deputy in each team. When they encountered enemies, they would fight. In their spare time, they would be asked to cultivate, train, and recruit troops to expand their strength.”
Li Shimin immediately understood Yin Shisan's meaning. He smiled and said," What you mean is that Liu Wuzhou's men are deep in Taiyuan. It's advantageous for us to fight quickly, but we just don't interact with them. While we raise our troops, we wait for them to consume their military supplies and let them lose without fighting?"”
"Yes!" Yin Shisan nodded with a smile. It was really easy to talk to a smart person like Li Shiming.
"I wonder if you've thought about how to assign these twelve teams, and who will be the leader and deputy?"”
"Yes!"
Yin Shisan nodded slightly and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, spreading it out on the desk.
Li Shimin poked his head out and saw the names of the 12th Division and their respective commanders and deputies clearly written on the paper.
The First Army, the White Sheep Army, was led by Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, and Wang Junke.
The second army, the Golden Bull Army, was led by Cheng Yaojin and the deputy commander, You Junda.
The third army was the Twin Army, led by Hou Junji and Xie Yingdeng.
The fourth army, the Giant Crab Army, was led by Ma Sanbao and Shi Danai.
The Lion Army of the Fifth Army, Commander Li Jing, Deputy Commander Zhang Gongjin;
The Sixth Army's Virgin Army, Commander Liu Hongji, Vice Commander Bai Xiandao;
The seventh army, Libra Army, commander Duan Zhixian, deputy commander Qu Tutong;
The eighth army, the Scorpio Army, was led by Chai Shao and Qu Tugai.
The archer army of the ninth army was led by Yin Kaishan and Jia Runfu.
The tenth army, the Capricorn Army, was led by Qi Yuan and Liu Zhouchen, the deputy commander.
The 11th Army Aquarius Army, commander Li Rugui, deputy commander Sheng Yanshi;
12th army, Shuang Yu army, commander Jin Jia, vice commander Tong Huan.
"Advisor Jun, there's nothing wrong with these people. It's just that the name of the team…" Li Shiming was a little confused after reading the contents of the paper.
"Ah!" " That's the name of the Heavenly Star Army," Yin Shisan agreed." Let's call these 12 armies the Heavenly Star Army."”
Li Shi Min nodded. After all, fighting a war depended on one's ability. A name was just a code name. It didn't matter what it was called.
"Alright, let's do as the military advisor instructed and ask them to form a team. I'll write a memorial to Imperial Father now, hoping that he can send more soldiers.”
Yin Shisan nodded and bade farewell to the King of Qin as he walked out of the study. After passing through the hall in front, he arrived at the courtyard of the General's Office.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared. His mountain-like body stood in front of Yin Shisan and said in a deep voice," It's time for Luo Cheng to close the net.”
Yin Shisan raised his eyebrows." Zhongjian, you can scare people to death. Next time, you can come out from a bright place and come in front of me properly!”
