Is this madness?
Or is it—
Has something gone wrong in Luoyang, and have the elite troops of the Tang Army already arrived?
Clever people often have one flaw.
That is, they overthink.
Especially when the Xia Army is convinced that the Tang Army has reached a desperate point, such matters inevitably lead to overthinking.
But no matter what, how could Dou Jiande let such a structural opportunity slip?
This is prey delivered right to his door.
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered his soldiers to blockade Li Shimin.
But is Li Shimin's mission a death wish?
He is merely demonstrating military power while also seeking to further spread unrest within the Xia Army.
When the words, "Luoyang has fallen, and our Tang Army elite will soon attack Hulao," gradually echoed, his plan was already complete.
There's no need to linger in battle.
There's no need even to fight.
This is the advantage of small-scale guerrillas; capturing Li Shimin and Gu Quan is no easy task.
