I’m Marquis in Great Tang

This situation of Liu Hongji is different from recruiting Li Jing and Su Dingfang. Both Li Jing and Su Dingfang have their own ideas, and they have all been treated unfairly to a certain extent, and both have concerns.

So under the coercion and lure of Du Qi, the persuasion finally succeeded.

Liu Hongji is different.

This is a staunch man, even if Du Qi threatens, he looks indifferent.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “Drag Liu Hongji down and send him on the road.”

“Yes!”

The soldier got the order and dragged Liu Hongji walked out. But when the soldier dragged Liu Hongji out, suddenly Liu Hongji broke free of the soldier’s hand. After all, he is a veteran on the battlefield, although he is not comparable to Xue Rengui’s strength, it is no small thing. After he broke free, he rushed towards Du Qi again.

This time, Xue Rengui drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed it out with a single sword.

“Pump!”

The sharp point of the sword penetrates Liu Hongji’s heart.

One sword penetrates the chest.

Xue Rengui drew his sword out of its sheath, Liu Hongji groaned, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover the wound on his chest, but he gritted his teeth to endure, even not letting his body fall.

“Du Qi, I’ll wait for you…”

As soon as he said, Liu Hongji’s body thumped and he fell to the ground. His body twitched twice before he lost his breath.

Du Qi looked at Liu Hongji who had fallen to the ground and died, and sighed.

Is a hero.

He is even more admirable.

Du Qi instructed: “Take along to withdraw, prepare a good coffin for a thick burial.”

When the soldier got the order, he took Liu Hongji’s body down.

Du Qi looked towards Su Dingfang, Xiao Yuanqi and the others, instructed: “From the day when you were busy, to the chase at night, and now, you are all working hard. Go down to rest and adjust your status. Tomorrow Discuss the next step. As for all the captives, they are all ready to move to the Imperial City and send them to the country to be resettled as ordinary people. In Xia Country, there is a shortage of people. After they go, they can enrich the population.”

Xiao Yuanqi and the others responded and left.

In the camp, it was empty.

Du Qi at this time got up and left the camp to go to the location of the wounded soldiers in the army. Due to the fighting in the evening, many soldiers under his command were injured. Du Qi went to condolences and returned to the camp to rest.

Early the next morning.

Du Qi got up early in the morning. He had just had breakfast, and he received the latest news from the sentry about Li Ji. The news that the sentry found was that Li Ji’s army had divided its forces and started to move around, not that it was withdrawing.

Du Qi showed an unexpected look on his face after seeing the news.

Li Ji never withdrew.

It turned out to be divided into the surrounding area, which is a strategy of breaking up into parts. However, at the moment, Li Ji’s troops are insufficient, and it is easy to be defeated separately by breaking them into parts.

Du Qi immediately called the cabinet members, as well as the generals in the army such as Li Jing and Xue Rengui. He looked towards everyone, said solemnly: “Now Li Ji is in the direction of Forty Rize, and he has divided his troops directly, and has gone to all sides. Their intention is to continue the war with us in Shazhou. The battle that comes down is not to fight as before, but to fight.”

“Everyone, how should we respond?”

Du Qi asked directly.

Li Jing said solemnly: “His Majesty, the minister thinks that the problem is actually very simple. You only need to issue a decree to encourage people to report the location of the Tang Army. Once the government has verified it, they will be rewarded. Even more, encourage The people attacked the Tang Army. As long as they bring their heads and they are verified, the government will also be rewarded. Under the rewards, the people will definitely be moved by the wind. These people on the border don’t have much loyalty to Great Tang. “

Du Qi nodded and said: “I think I should verify the suggestion of Master Pharmacist. What do you think?”

Shangguan Yi said: “His Majesty, the minister agrees.”

Lai Jidao: “The minister seconded.”

The rest of the civilian officers and generals expressed their views one after another, and everyone held the same opinion.

All agree with Li Jing’s arrangement.

Du Qi nodded and said: “If this is the case, follow the arrangements of the pharmacist. Shangguan Yi, you are responsible for issuing imperial decree to inform the people of Shazhou. Even if the Tang Army flees into Guazhou , This decree is also applicable to the people of Guazhou.”

“The minister obeys!”

Shangguan Yi immediately responded.

Du Qi once again said: “Xue Rengui!”

“The minister is here!”

Xue Rengui stood up and answered.

Du Qi said: “You arrange soldiers to station in Shazhou City, and then arrange soldiers to inspect the Gunpowder under Shazhou, find out all the Gunpowder buried by the Tang Army, and be sure to dig out all the Gunpowder. Li Ji had decided before. The strategy of asking monarch to enter the urn, this time we have never entered the city, and Li Ji has no time to arrange, these Gunpowders are definitely still underground.”

Xue Rengui said: “Chen abides!”

Du Qi said again: “Ma Yuan!”

“The minister is here!”

Ma Yuan immediately answered.

Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “You dispatched your troops to sweep the Tang Army in Shazhou. Encouraging the people is one aspect, but the army in Xia Country also needs to send troops to sweep the Tang Army. .”

Ma Yuan responded immediately.

Du Qi arranged all the necessary things, his eyes turned, and finally fell on Li Jing.

In this battle, Li Jing played a vital role. Because of Li Jing’s strategy, Li Ji’s army was eliminated in a battle. Although Li Ji finally escaped, even Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other Great Tang Important Ministers also left. But for Du Qi, the elimination of Great Tang’s army is crucial.

Du Qi said solemnly: “Li Jing listen to the order!”

“The minister is here!”

Li Jing stood up immediately.

He is quite calm, because under Li Shimin’s command, Li Jing is already the head of the Imperial court generals and the pillar of the generals. But now under Du Qi’s command, because there are people like Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan, he is impossible to be the head of the generals anyway, so Li Jing doesn’t have much expectation at the moment.

The only thought in Li Jing’s heart is to wait for Du Qi to settle the overall situation, and eventually he followed Du Qi to expand the territory and start to the Persian country to the west, and even further expeditions. .

This is Li Jing’s thoughts.

In his lifetime, he can set foot in these farther places, even open up the frontiers and expand the territory, and achieve the feats that the predecessors have never established, then his life will be enough.

Du Qi said: “Previously, when I was in the Western Regions, I just established Xia Country. I once established a staff to advise the military and take full responsibility for military planning. Later, because Jiang Changzong served as the Provincial Governor of a state, it was abandoned. The General Staff.”

“Now, it is re-opened.”

“You Li Jing, as the head of the General Staff, has the same rank as six High Officials, independent of the government system, and directly Affiliated to Zhen. The presence of the General Staff Headquarters is solely responsible for combat command and military training. The Chief of Staff ranks above the generals, but the adjustment and appointment of the generals are appointed by the Imperial Court.”

Du Qi Li Jing was given the position again.

Li Jing said: “The minister abides by the order, thank His Majesty Longen.”

In his heart, there is no disappointment, because of his status and official position. Arranged. If you are arranged as the chief general of the first army, you will inevitably lose your identity. After all, he is always a little inappropriate with these people. As the chief officer of a department alone, responsible for the military staff, this is the best arrangement.

Especially the chief officer of the General Staff Department, ranked among the six High Official First class, is independent of the government system, and manages military arrangements independently, and has great power. To a certain extent, the general staff is higher than the generals of the first class. It’s just that the arrangement of the generals is also the arrangement of the Imperial Court, and the generals are not constrained by the staff.

In this case, it is necessary for the chief officer of the staff to have sufficient influence and prestige to implement the scheduling arrangement.

For Li Jing, it has no effect.

He thought it was pretty good.

Du Qi slightly smiled, saying: “Don’t rush to agree, the staff is just one of your duties. There is another most important thing about you, and this is your most important thing. “

Li Jing was a little surprised.

Any job?

What will it be?

In fact, no matter Li Jing was surprised, even the others like Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou and the others were also surprised. Because the chief officer of a staff is actually already powerful. Now it is surprising that there are official positions to be arranged.
