Du Qi looked up in the direction of Li Shimin and shouted: “Li Shimin, I always respect you. Even if you and I are enemies, Xia Country and Great Tang are opposed. But I still respect you, because you are a respectable opponent. You should attack my Xia Country, that is right, no one can accuse you of anything.”

paused, Du Qi made a loud noise Said: “You want to fight, I will accompany you to the end. But by detaining envoys, I despise you. The dignified former high-spirited and vigorous Prince of Qin, today the majestic Tang State emperor His Majesty, used this despicable method It makes people disgusting.”

Li Shimin’s expression changed again and again.

He was looked down upon by Du Qi.

Li Shimin’s heart is still a bit angry, but more of it is that he seized Ma Zhou and gave Du Qi a chance to criticize.

Li Shimin’s expression is rather gloomy.

Zhangsun Wuji said again: “Du Qi, don’t want to take advantage of your tongue. Now, you can’t agree to the conditions. If you don’t agree, I will let the soldiers break Ma Zhou’s leg today. “

At this moment, Ma Zhou has a smile on his face even though his mouth is blocked. Even if Zhangsun Wuji threatened to break his leg, Ma Zhou was not afraid.

He knew that Du Qi had the upper hand.

The embarrassing one is Li Shimin.

Ma Zhou’s only hope is that Du Qi can remain firm and not be coerced. Even if it is targeted, Ma Zhou is not worried, it is nothing more than being treated harshly. He can be sure that Li Shimin will not kill him, because after killing him, Li Shimin has nothing, so Ma Zhou is very calm.

When Du Qi heard Zhangsun Wuji’s words, he immediately said: “Zhangsun Wuji, you are really a competent henchman. You have put all kinds of threats against Ma Zhou in this way. It’s not because Li Shimin didn’t dare Say these words, are you afraid of being targeted? Alas, in fact, you can understand that the former Li Shimin loved soldiers like a child. Once a lieutenant soldier was injured, he would go to visit and comfort the soldiers. But now Li Shimin is just one The emperor is nothing more than Li Shimin.”

paused, Du Qi continued: “Li Shimin, the choice has been given. Now you give a sentence, as long as you refuse to release Ma Zhou , I will kill people immediately. Anyway, it’s a long time, let’s take your time.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Du Qi, you…”

“Shut up!”

Du Qi scolded directly: “Zhangsun Wuji, are you the emperor of Great Tang or Li Shimin? I talked to Li Shimin, but you were barking and haggling here, which made your ears uncomfortable. , It is very noisy.”

One of Zhangsun Wuji’s face turned red.

He was scolded by Du Qi.

In front of all the soldiers, Du Qi actually swept his face like this.

“Damn it!”

Zhangsun Wuji’s heart was filled with endless anger. He planned to speak, but Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop it. Li Shimin looked towards Du Qi outside the city and said, “Du Qi, you are as sharp-tongued as you always did. With a mouth, overbearing, it doesn’t give anyone a hint. Opportunity to express one’s position. Even a mouth can block people’s mouth.”

Du Qi said: “It’s overpraised, but I still want to talk about it. I always say things based on Speaking of facts. If it is to create something from nothing, it is infinitely out of thin air, impossible to persuade people. Just as right now, in front of the army of both you and me, hundreds of thousands of people, if I’m slanderous, can I be convinced? It’s definitely impossible Yes.”

Li Shimin hummed, but did not speak immediately.

Du Qi chased after him fiercely: “Li Shimin, give me a precise word, and don’t let go.”

Li Shimin put his hands on the city wall.

His face is full of tangles.

To be honest, Li Shimin really wants the mysterious weapon in Du Qi’s hands. Once you have such a weapon, when the time comes to fight with Xia Country, Great Tang also has a chance. But the current situation is clearly not allowed.

Li Shimin groaned for a long time without speaking, Du Qi said again: “Li Shimin, are you a man? If you want to let go, then let go immediately. Don’t let go, give me the right words. This kind of mother-in-law is like a woman. When did Li Shimin, who was decisive, became so indecisive.”

Li Shimin breathes deeply, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, motioning the soldiers to let go people.

“His Majesty, no!”

Zhangsun Wuji immediately came out to discourage him.

He looked eagerly and said: “His Majesty, even if Du Qi does not give weapons, as long as Ma Zhou is there, Du Qi dare not start the war lightly. But once Ma Zhou is released, Du Qi seeking revenge for the slightest grievance, he will definitely retaliate. I implore His Majesty, think twice!”

Li Shimin said: “Fuji, if Ma Zhou is not released right now, our soldiers will Will be slaughtered. Once the soldiers are slaughtered, the consequences are unimaginable. So now, I can only let them go. The soldiers under my command, I can’t give up.”

He waved his hand again and asked him to untie Ma Zhou directly. Then put Ma Zhou down the gate tower in a hanging basket.

Li Shimin said: “Du Qi, I have fulfilled the agreement. Now, it’s time for you to let go.”

Du Qi smiled and said: “You are not afraid of me going back.”

Li Shimin said: “I believe you won’t go back on one’s word.”

Du Qi said: “I will do what I say, and I will not go against Agreed. Speaking of, you Li Shimin this time, but you have made a lot of money. The soldiers under your command are my prisoners. But Ma Zhou, just a Small Official, was held by you. Li Shimin, this time counts You earned it.”

“Come on, let go.”

Du Qi gave the order directly.

Following this order, the soldiers holding the Tang Army in the rear were released. More than 20,000 prisoners all quickly ran out and arrived in front of the gate tower, ready to enter the city.

Li Shimin saw this scene, but never immediately ordered to open the city gates. Because in Li Shimin’s view, the city gate is currently opened. On the one hand, this group of soldiers has never been tested. If there are soldiers with Du Qi hidden in them, problems will easily arise. On the other hand, open the city gates here, if Du Qi takes advantage of the situation, the city gate will definitely not be able to defend.

Li Shimin loudly said: “Listen to all the soldiers, you all person, go directly to the east gate of Guazhou City. When you arrive at the east gate, someone will let you into the city, and then be responsible for your reorganization “

Everyone got the order and went to the east gate one after another.

Du Qi smiled and said: “Li Shimin ah Li Shimin, you are really cautious. For fear, I have inserted people inside. Once my people enter, they will seize the city, so let them go to the east gate. You, this is to save the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.”

Li Shimin said: “There is nothing wrong with being cautious in everything, especially in the face of you Du Qi, no matter how careful you are. .”

At this time, Li Shimin, on the contrary, had a good idea.

Because the soldiers are back.

Because he doesn’t have to be embarrassed.

Ma Zhou was already beside Du Qi. He knelt directly on the ground and said, “His Majesty, the minister never ordered Li Shimin to agree to our terms. On the contrary, it made His Majesty embarrassed and released. More than 20,000 prisoners. The minister made a mistake in judgment, please His Majesty to punish.”

Du Qi said: “Get up, you can’t be blamed for this. After all, no one can expect such a thing. Especially as an envoy. Small Official is even more common. Ma Zhou, don’t care.”

“Thanks His Majesty!”

Ma Zhou stood up and thanked me.

Du Qi’s gaze fell on Li Shimin and said: “Li Shimin, the conditions mentioned by Ma Zhou are still valid. As long as you Li Shimin agrees, I will immediately withdraw and leave. If you are unwilling to withdraw your troops now, then I will attack Guazhou City. Once Guazhou City falls and breaks down, you will be miserable when the time comes.”

Li Shimin said in his sleeves: “Du Qi, you are wishful thinking. In any case, I will not be a monarch who loses power and humiliates the country. I will never compromise with you.”

For the soldiers outside the city, Li Shimin chose to yield.

Now it is impossible to agree to Du Qi’s terms.

Du Qi wants to fight, he will stay with him to the end.

However, Li Shimin also moved quickly at the same time. Because without Ma Zhou, Du Qi might be bombarded first, and when the time comes people on the gate tower, they might be bombarded.

When Li Shimin evacuated, he had already ordered preparations.

Because the war is about to break out.

Du Qi looked towards Xiao Yuanqi on the side, instructed: “Xiao Yuanqi, mobilize all the artillery and bombard the city gate for me. The city gate of Guazhou City, directly blasted it away.”

“The minister obeyed!”

Xiao Yuanqi responded immediately.
