After leaving Du Ruhui's study, Du Qi returned to his own. At this time, Jin Wuque was still looking at the operation plans of the bank, as well as books on how to run a bank.
Du Qi had written down a lot of information.
Jin Wuque was able to quickly familiarize himself with the contents of the information.
After Du Qi entered, Jin Wuque praised, "Young master, your ideas are exquisite beyond compare. With these ideas, it will be much easier to set up the bank. "
Du Qi said, "Although this will be easier, I won't have time to manage the bank in the near future. You will have to arrange everything yourself. "
Jin Wuque said, "Young master, you have already planned out the general direction of the bank, but you don't have time to manage it. So, what do you plan to do? "
Du Qi said in a low voice, "I will leave Daizhou's Gate of Yanmen and head to Hebei Province's Ming Province."
"Hebei Province?"
Jin Wuque raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Young master, Hebei Province's wars are frequent. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go there. Gongzi, what are you going to Hebei Province for? "
Du Qi said, "I'm going on Duke Qin's orders. There's nothing I can do about it. So, you can handle the bank as you see fit. You can do it slowly, but you must do it steadily. Although the Wang family seems to be doing nothing, we can't let our guard down. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque nodded.
After a pause, Jin Wuque suddenly said, "Young master, speaking of the Wang family, there's something else."
Du Qi said, "What is it?"
Jin Wuque said, "According to Shadow's information on Taiyuan Prefecture, the new head of the Wang family, Wang Zongxi, has already left Taiyuan Prefecture and is heading to Gate of Yanmen. If Wang Zongxi does something behind the scenes, it will be even more disadvantageous for us. "
Du Qi said, "Whether Wang Zongxi comes or not, I will leave. Wang Zongxi is now at Gate of Yanmen. Pay attention to the news. If anything happens, report to my father immediately and let him handle it. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque replied immediately.
After pausing for a while, Jin Wuque continued, "As for the matter of the bank, I will push it forward bit by bit. I guarantee that I will not give the Wang Clan a chance to make a move. Even if the Wang Family wanted to make a move, it was because we had set up a trap to lure Wang Zongxi. In addition, Young Master is going to Hebei Province, this is a serious matter. Young Master, I suggest that you leave quietly and don't spread the news of your departure. "
Du Qi said, "Of course!"
The two of them talked about many other things. Du Qi basically handed over all the matters regarding School of Yan to Jin Wuque. After all, Jin Wuque had the ability to control the entire situation. With Jin Wuque in charge, Du Qi could rest assured.
After discussing the matter, Du Qi asked Jin Wuque to leave.
Du Qi packed up and brought along Mordor, Liu Jian, Liu Zhengxi, and Xiao Yuan Qi's men. A group of more than a hundred people was rushing on their way.
Ming Province, Ming Shui County.
The army led by Li Shimin was stationed here. The current Li Shimin was in a bad situation. Even if his main elite black armor cavalry were all there, there were still ten thousand of them. However, the main generals and strategists were all temporarily moved by Li Jiancheng.
Hence, Li Shimin lacked strategists.
Main army tent.
Li Shimin was flipping through the latest battle report.
Currently, the Tang dynasty army was still attacking Ming Shui County, trying to break through its defenses. Based on Li Shimin's original plan, he would lead the army to set up camp at the shore of Ming Shui River and send cavalry to cut off the grain path from Ming Shui County to the north.
With that, Liu Heita's grain supply would be cut off. Even if Liu Heita defended Ming Shui County and did not fall into a disadvantage, he would not be able to hold on for long.
Especially based on Li Shimin's understanding of Liu Heita, he was a courageous person and not a cowardly person. When Liu Heita realized that the grain path behind him was sealed, he would not have enough grain. Liu Heita might take the initiative to attack the camp once more.
And this would be the chance for the Tang army to wipe out Liu Heita's main force near Ming Shui. The problem was that Li Shimin's suggestion was ignored by Li Jiancheng, not bothering about it at all.
Li Jiancheng chose to forcefully attack Ming Shui County.
Furthermore, he did not set up a formation and did not cut off the retreat path. He just forcefully attacked. As such, attacking Ming Shui County did not have much of an effect, and they had not won from start to finish.
Li Shimin could roughly guess Li Jiancheng's thoughts.
Li Jiancheng wanted to defeat the enemy head on and obtain victory to build up his prestige and prestige in the army. The problem was that such a forceful attack would cause many casualties and take up a lot of time.
The effect was too weak.
During these days, Li Shimin did not go out and did not bother about army matters. He only collected the situation of the army and studied the strategy for this battle.
That was because he had been pushed aside by Li Jiancheng.
'Hu!'
The tent curtains were lifted up, and a Personal Guard entered.
The person who came was Yuchi Gong, the Personal Guard general by Li Shimin's side. He was Li Shimin's trusted aide and had not been moved away. Yuchi Gong entered and cupped his fists, "Your highness, Du Qi has arrived."
"Please!"
Li Shimin stood up, his face revealing a bright smile.
He was finally here.
Before this, he did not want to call Du Qi over. When Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others were moved, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling suggested that Li Shimin call Du Qi over to give advice.
Li Shimin walked to the entrance of the tent and waited. A moment later, the tent curtains were lifted up, and Du Qi entered.
Li Shimin stepped forward and pulled Du Qi's hand in, letting Du Qi sit down. After sitting down, Li Shimin said, "Erlang, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. "
Du Qi said, "Your highness, what's the situation now?"
Li Shimin sighed and said, "The current situation is that most of the elites under this king's command have been transferred. Now, I only have ten thousand elites by my side. The Crown Prince used all sorts of reasons to move them away. Even if my people were unwilling, they could not refuse. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful. "
After a pause, Li Shimin said, "I don't know who came up with this plan for the Crown Prince. Cutting meat with a blunt knife is really uncomfortable! "
Du Qi said, "Your highness, this is the general trend. There's nothing you can do about it. Li Jiancheng's identity has determined that you can't fight him head-on. "
Li Shimin said, "That's what I mean."
Du Qi said, "Your highness, I want the latest battle reports and past news. I'll go through all the information."
"No problem!"
Li Shimin immediately arranged for people to gather all the battle reports in front of Du Qi.
After Du Qi took them, he flipped through them one by one.
He read through all the battle reports, and then closed his eyes to rest, thinking carefully about all the clues.
"Phew!"
After a long while, Du Qi let out a long breath.
Du Qi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "Your highness, in my opinion, your current situation is not good! The next step should be for the Crown Prince to arrange for you to personally lead the army to attack Mingshui. "
Li Shimin said, "Why do you say that?"
