    Huang Mingliao's sudden and violent attack instantly blinded Li Shimin.

    With a devastating offensive, the Ming army broke through Lujiao Pass overnight and completely defeated the Tang army's peripheral defenses.  Moreover, after occupying Lujiao Pass, the Ming army's attack showed no tendency to slow down. They continued to attack Baima Pass, pursuing and fighting fiercely and vowing not to give up, as if they were determined to fight the Tang army.

    Huang Mingliao guessed that Li Shimin might escape. After all, Li Shimin was not a person who surrendered easily.  Moreover, Li Shimin was decisive and astute. Whether it was Chang Lin or Brazil, they saw that something was inevitable and immediately took the best policy, so the possibility of carrying it to death this time was not high.

    However, after receiving secret letters from Xue Yuanjing and Wei Qingzhi, Huang Mingliao was still shocked by Li Shimin's decisiveness.  You must know that the current situation is not all-out for Li Shimin. Li Shimin still has a lot of room for maneuver, and there is no need to completely give up Bashu and flee south.

    Although Huang Mingliao was shocked, he couldn't help but admire Li Shimin's perseverance.  It's easy to say it's easy to say it's time to cut it off, but when things get tough, not everyone has the decisiveness to do so.

    However, this also strengthened Huang Mingliao's determination to destroy Li Shimin.  If such an outstanding person is allowed to escape to Nanning Prefecture, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountains. He will become a disaster in the southwest in the future, so it is necessary to completely eliminate this person in Bashu.

    If it is just a battle of wits, Huang Mingliao may not be as good as Li Shimin, but if it is purely a matter of military tactical ability and execution, at least at this stage, Li Shimin is really not as good as Huang Mingliao.

    Since he knew that Li Shimin was going to escape, Huang Mingliao naturally wanted to stop him.

    On the one hand, he ordered Bayan to lead his cavalry deep into the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain to delay Li Tang's southward escape from the prefecture and county.  At the same time, Quan Xu was ordered to lead the two armies of the Youjing Guards to go south from Mianzhu to attack Luoxian County, cut off the Tang army's retreat, and intend to threaten Chengdu.

    On the other hand, he led the main force of the army to bite the Tang army to death, so the Ming army conquered Lujiao Pass with lightning speed.

    After the Ming army occupied Lujiao Pass, they and the Ming army in the direction of Wan'an City completed the outflank of Li Shimin's department.

    The cavalry of the Ming Army went south deep into the left foothills of the Longquan Mountains to carry out guerrilla movements. As long as Li Shimin dared to break out towards Chengdu, this road of more than 100 miles would be the Huangquan Road of the Tang Army.

    At this time, the Ming army attacked fiercely. Li Shimin at Baima Pass not only resisted with all his strength, but was also quite shocked.

    The two sides had a tacit understanding before preparing for a decisive battle. What was the reason that made the Ming army change their previous arrangements and suddenly start to strengthen their offensive against them.

    Does Huang Mingliao not want to complete the annihilation of the main force of the Tang army?

    Li Shimin was full of suspicions, but could never figure out the matter.

    Several important ministers below also made speculations.  Some people think that "the Ming army will run out of food, so they have to take the initiative to attack"; some think that "because of the supervision of the Ming court, the Ming army intensified its attacks"; some even think that "Huang Mingliao wants to compete with Huang Weiyang for credit,  This attack is a greedy move."

    But Li Shimin didn¡¯t think so.

    Although Li Shimin was not familiar with Huang Mingliao, Huang Mingliao was a well-known commander in the Ming army, and Li Shimin still understood his style and habits.

    Huang Mingyuan has great trust in this younger brother, and Huang Mingliao knows how to advance and retreat on weekdays, so whether it is the urging of the Ming Dynasty court or Huang Mingliao's competition for credit, it is unlikely.

    As for running out of food, Li Shimin didn¡¯t believe it even more.  Some time ago, Huang Mingliao was still fighting with him in Brazil.

    Li Shimin didn¡¯t have a clue as to what the reason was. After all, he still had to direct the battle.  The Ming army was like waves, one after another, constantly surging towards Baima Pass. The entire city seemed to be submerged in the torrent of the Ming army at any time.

    After fighting all night, Li Shimin was exhausted.

    In the end, the generals were worried that Li Shimin would collapse from exhaustion, so Shuang Shiluo took over Li Shimin's command at the top of the city.

    Li Shimin returned to his house, and as soon as he lay down on the couch wearing his armor, someone came to report, "Quan Hongshou, please see me!"

    Quan Hongshou is the son of Quan Rujiu, Minister of War, who previously served as Li Shimin's long history. He is now the second commander of the Badong Daoyou Army. His rank is the same as Hou Junji, Qin Wutong, Zhang Shigui, Li Zhilong, Dugu Yanyun and others.

    At this time, Quan Hongshou should be in Deyang Town.

    Hearing that Quan Hongshou asked for an audience, Li Shimin quickly got up without taking any rest.

    "Where does Hongshou come from?"

    When Quan Hongshou saw Li Shimin, he did not answer Li Shimin's question, but asked: "Does Duke Qin want to move the army to Nanning Prefecture?"

    Li Shimin did not ask Quan Hongshou why he knew about this. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. The ministers are entangled with each other. As long as the order is given, there will be no airtight wall.Legal confidentiality.

    Li Shimin said calmly: "What Hongshou said is good! I wonder if Hongshou has any suggestions?"

    Quan Hongshou stood up at this time and said: "I think the Ming army suddenly stepped up its attacks on our army and refused to let go. This may be related to the leak of this news."

    Li Shimin suddenly stood up after hearing this.

    He is very aware of the consequences of this news being leaked.

    So Li Shimin stared at Quan Hongshou and asked, "Why do you say that?"

    Quan Hongshou said with a normal expression: "Although this news was brought out not long ago, it is not a big secret. At least generals at the rank of junior general should know it.

    The general firmly supports Qin Gong in going south to Nanning Prefecture, and believes that most people in the army are willing to follow Qin Gong. However, it must be admitted that some in the army are unwilling to follow Qin Gong south, nor do they want Qin Gong to go south.  Even this group of people is quite numerous.  "

    Li Shimin¡¯s expression changed after hearing this, but he didn¡¯t say much.

    There are some things that Li Shimin sees very clearly, but he can only pretend that he doesn¡¯t know them.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that high-level officials had secretly communicated with the Ming Army.  It was dark under the lamp before, so he didn't think in this direction, but now that Quan Hongshou brought it up, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that Quan Hongshou's words made sense.

    Only in this way can the reason for Huang Mingliao's sudden attack be explained.

    At this time, Li Shimin looked at Quan Hongshou and asked calmly: "Since Hongshou has guessed that someone has secretly communicated with the Ming army, who does Hongshou think this person is?"

    Quan Hongshou did not directly say who it was. After all, his words were unfounded, although he had doubts.  So he said: "There are at least ten people in the army who know this news. Even if I stare at everyone day and night, it is impossible to know about it. But I have a way, maybe I can find out who this person is?"

    "any solution?"

    "Duke Qin will give each of the suspects a piece of information. When the time comes, we will know who has liaison with the Ming army by looking at the movements of the Ming army?"

    Li Shimin listened and nodded.

    I have to say that Quan Hongshou¡¯s method is really a good one.  Just what kind of news can allow this person to contact the Ming army again, and at the same time make the Ming army believe it?

    Li Shimin thought about it for a while, but he had an idea.

    After sending Quan Hongshou away, Li Shimin sent someone to recruit Xue Shou to discuss matters.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
