I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Outside Shazhou City, where Du Qi Camp is located.

The Great Account of the Chinese Army.

Du Qi is dealing with the latest government affairs, and a small number of these government affairs are related to Guazhou and Shazhou, and a large part of them are related to the government affairs in Xia Country. After all, when it comes to the internal affairs of Xia Country, part of the six parts has been processed, and now all submitted are extremely important matters.

Today, Guazhou has all been adjusted, and even Shazhou has all been included under Du Qi’s command. After all, Li Ji had an unstable foothold in Shazhou and could not continue to travel forty ridges, so he was already evacuated.

Without Shazhou where Li Ji is sitting, it is impossible to withstand a single blow.

All places are attached.

The most important thing is that the people of Guazhou and Shazhou are attached to Du Qi because of the various policies that benefit the people and many measures that are beneficial to the people. The people all support Du Qi.

Furthermore, the people in the two places once received a lot of blessings because of Du Qi governing Suzhou. They knew Du Qi, so they didn’t resist Du Qi.

Many reasons are superimposed, the people are attached, and everyone recognizes Xia Country.

They all live as children of Xia Country.

When Du Qi was busy, the curtain of the camp was raised, but Li Jing entered. He stood still and said: “His Majesty!”

Du Qi waved his hand: “Sit! “

Li Jing opened the mouth and said after taking his seat: “His Majesty, now this staff department, the minister has selected three generals from the army, mainly good at planning, they are transferred to the staff Headquarters.”

Du Qi said: “Yes!”

The general staff is established, so it is natural to use it. In fact, it was the cabinet that replaced part of the staff function and was responsible for the staff planning of many wars. Now this function belongs to the staff again, and the organization and adjustment of the army will also be under the staff.

The only thing the General Staff does not involve is the appointment of personnel from the various armies, which is in charge of the Imperial Court Ministry of Appointments.

Li Jing continued: “The ministers invite the chief minister and the others to discuss the timing of sending troops. The ministers believe that Shazhou and Guazhou are now included in Xia Country and belong to Xia. Country. On this basis, troops can be sent to attack Suzhou. If Suzhou is taken, then the territory of Xia Country will go further and take the entire Western Regions.”

Du Qi said: “Since the time is right Now, the order is passed down and ready to send troops.”

“Yes!”

Li Jing immediately arranged.

After one hour, Du Qi’s camp is already on his way out.

In fact, at this time, Shazhou and Guazhou have appointed officials to handle government affairs, so even if Du Qi leaves, it will not affect the overall situation. The army grandiose rushed straight to Suzhou.

This news also quickly spread to Suzhou.

To Jiuquan County.

Li Ji, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others, now led troops stationed in Jiuquan, and the army stationed in the city. At this time, Li Ji’s troops also increased, and because of the re-recruitment, his troops increased to more than 60,000. After all, nowadays, it is not easy to increase troops.

Too much loss.

Several battles before and after, lost too many troops.

Military camp, a large account of the Chinese army.

Li Ji got the news that Du Qi had sent troops to kill, and immediately invited Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng to bring them into the camp. Li Ji looked solemnly, opening the mouth and said: “Just got the news, Du Qi has led a large army to Suzhou to kill. Du Qi sent troops again after a month or so. For us, this is a great danger. Now, how should we defend against the enemy?”

Although Li Ji has passed the battle report back, the help that the Imperial Court can give him is limited. All this depends on himself, so Li Ji must make full preparations and must guard Jiuquan in Suzhou.

If he can’t hold Suzhou anymore, and wait until Suzhou is lost again, he is really shameless and returns to the Imperial court.

Zhangsun Wuji said: “It’s just that it’s not easy to defend Suzhou! Our current military strength is definitely not better than Du Qi in a head-on confrontation. After all, the number of troops is insufficient. But if we talk about the situation of defending the city, Because Du Qi has weapons to bomb the city, it is also somewhat difficult. To achieve the purpose of resisting Du Qi, it is not an easy task.”

“Report!”

Just now , But soldiers entered.

The soldier stood still and saluted: “Manager Li, please see you from Suzhou Provincial Governor.”

Li Ji said: “Please!”

The soldier sent the letter In a short while, Suzhou Provincial Governor Yan Leisheng entered. The former Provincial Governor of Suzhou was Ye Daosheng, who was promoted by Du Qi, but after Du Qi established the country, Ye Daosheng was directly transferred to Cháng’ān by the Imperial Court, and Yan Lei Sheng is the newly appointed Provincial Governor of Suzhou.

In fact, not only Ye Daosheng was transferred, but the rest, such as Yang Huaizhuang, who had been promoted by Du Qi, were all transferred.

All enter the dynasty as officials.

So now in Suzhou, there is no longer Du Qi’s direct lineage, and they are all people who are in the new airborne arrangement.

Yan Lei is a typical Scholar when he is in his early forties. At first glance, he is thin and looks like a weak scholar. But in fact, Yan Leisheng’s methods are extremely domineering and even more radical. In the short time he was in charge of Suzhou, all the people who had promoted Du Qi, even the servants below, were all replaced.

Completely eliminate future troubles.

This is Yan Leisheng’s style and method of acting.

Yan Leisheng entered the camp and saw Li Ji and the others, so he bowed and saluted one after another.

Li Ji nodded and said: “Yan Provincial Governor entered, why?”

Yan Lei promoted: “Reporting back to General Manager Li, small official accidentally today with the following official While chatting, I got a way to hold us in Jiuquan County, Suzhou.”

Li Ji’s eyes lit up and said: “What way?”

Yan Leisheng said: “Reporting back to Chief Li, the previous battle with Du Qi, whether it was Guazhou or Shazhou, actually the official road outside the city, although the Cement Road was built, there are actually a lot of areas outside the city that were not paved Cement Road.”

“So that, it can give gunpowder the opportunity to ambush. Moreover, the cities of Guazhou City and Shazhou City are weak and small, and there is no Suzhou Jiuquan City. The city is strong. So when Guazhou City and Shazhou City were bombarded, they suddenly collapsed. Our Jiuquan is different, the city is tall and strong.”

“The idea of ​​the small official is very simple, fully utilize Cement , Reinforce the entire area outside the city, and pave all areas outside the city with Cement Road except the official road. And this Cement Road must be thicker than normal. Even in it, steel bars are added. when the time comes Even if it is bombed by Gunpowder, it is impossible to explode.”

“The city wall is reinforced in this way, and Cement is applied again, and steel bars are added to reinforce the city wall. This way Come, even if it’s attacked, it’s okay.”

Yan Leisheng said: “We can prepare enough food, equipment, etc., so that we are not afraid of attack. Du Qi’s weapons are powerful, but this It’s not omnipotent either.”

When Li Ji heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up, with a look of chagrin on his face.

I am annoyed that I did not think clearly.

Yan Leisheng’s plan is extremely simple, but he didn’t even think of it.

Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng are the same.

Because three people, or more people, have fallen into a misunderstanding and believe that Du Qi’s weapons are invincible. But now they suddenly discovered that Du Qi’s weapons are actually powerful, but they are also limited.

The battle of Guazhou, city collapsed; the battle of Shazhou, city still collapsed. So that everyone thinks that city can’t stop Du Qi’s weapons, but in fact, it is not. In fact, Cement Road, which is about two zhang wide on the official road outside, can also resist weapons.

Only outside the official road, can ambush weapons such as mines.

Li Ji stood up, folded his hands, and gave a respectful salute to Yan Lei, saying: “Yan Provincial Governor, your news is really important. These words are like the morning bell and the evening drum. , I woke us up. If you say this, two or three months in the morning, then the battle between Great Tang and Xia Country will not be the case. In this battle, Great Tang was defeated wrongly.”

Yan Leisheng quickly modestly said: “Manager Li doesn’t need to be like this, this is what I should do. Furthermore, in fact, this news was also accidentally thought of when chatting with my subordinates, not early in the morning. I thought of these things. I got it by accident, so I hurriedly told Manager Li, hoping to ask Mr. Li to give it a try.”

Li Ji said: “Your news is too timely. It can be said to rain in time. If it weren’t for this news from you, our next battle would fall into the curse that was once again. Today, we won’t be affected anymore.”

Yan Lei ascended: “That That’s fine, that’s fine.”

There is also a smile on his face.

Being able to help Li Ji and the soldiers of Great Tang not to be defeated by Du Qi, he also did his part. Even more how, he is an official of Great Tang, and he doesn’t want Great Tang to lose.

Li Ji instructed: “Yan Leisheng, the matter of mobilizing people to build the city area as Cement Road, can only be handed over to you to schedule and arrange. In addition, the city is reinforced again, and even the steel is reinforced. , You also arrange it together. Where you need the help of someone arranged by the official, you just say it. In short, try your best to promote this.”

“If there is any obstacle, you will directly kill it.”

p>

“No need to report.”

“This matter, I will explain it in front of His Majesty. As long as your method blocks Du Qi’s army. Then go to the Imperial Court, Then you have contributed a lot.”

Li Ji encouraged: “This is your opportunity, and it is also Great Tang’s opportunity.”

“We will fulfill our mission!”

Yan Leisheng answered immediately.

The expression on his face is extremely solemn, and he has an indomitable fighting spirit. Because at the moment, as long as the army of Du Qi is blocked outside of Jiuquan County, it will be a great feat for the entire Great Tang situation.

Yan Lei rose and left, and the atmosphere in the camp eased down.

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Manager Li, according to Yan Leisheng’s layout, the entire area outside Jiuquan County has been turned into Cement Road. In this way, the firearms will lose a major role. Du Qi It is impossible to plant mines, etc., even the Gunpowder. In short, this is our opportunity right now.”

Li Ji said resolutely: “No matter what, we still need to be cautious. The arrangement must be done. Arranged properly. Our battle must be defended. On the basis of defending, we will try to defeat Du Qi again.”

Today’s Li Ji has changed his strategy.

Hold first.

Think about others.

Because Suzhou today can’t stand the toss. Once Suzhou falls, then the entire Great Tang may be even more shocking. Therefore, at the moment, the overall situation of Suzhou is stabilized and Jiuquan County is fundamental.

Li Ji, Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji joined forces to quickly discuss defensive strategies.

Everything began to be arranged.

At the same time, Yan Leisheng has already made rapid adjustments to use all the personnel under his command to build Cement Road on a large scale.

This movement is huge, and the news cannot be concealed. Therefore, Du Qi’s sentry stationed in Jiuquan County has spread the news in a short time and sent it back to those who are entering Suzhou. In front of Du Qi.

Now the army of Du Qi has arrived in Suzhou. Li Ji’s strategy is very simple. It is the same as in Shazhou. It is to gather Shazhou’s troops in Jiuquan County so that they can resist spare no effort.

So Du Qi’s army is still in Suzhou.

There is no resistance at all.

The most important thing is that the people of Suzhou have great respect for Du Qi. Because Du Qi arrived in Suzhou, the thousands of people in Suzhou had a good life, no longer being bullied and looted by thieves. So Du Qi suddenly took Suzhou. There was no resistance from the people. On the contrary, many people welcomed Du Qi back to Suzhou.

After Du Qi learned about the situation in Jiuquan County, after a little thought, he roughly understood Li Ji’s intentions.

Is to strengthen Jiuquan County.

Then fully defend.

Because all areas outside the city are paved with Cement Road. And the city is reinforced with steel bars, and then Cement is applied again, so even after the bombardment, part of the city collapsed is impossible to collapse completely. At this point, the only advantage of bombardment is the power to suppress the city.

Du Qi wanted to understand, but didn’t say anything for the time being. When it was near noon, when the army stopped to rest, Du Qi called Li Jing, Shangguan Yi and the others together, and talked about Li Ji’s response , And changes in Jiuquan County.

After Du Qi finished talking about the situation, he finally said: “Li Ji’s intention is to weaken the influence of our mortars. In fact, according to the current arrangement, it can indeed affect us. Here Basically, what do you think should be done?”

Li Jing stroked the beard under his jaw, thinking quickly.

Li Ji made a response. Naturally, their side must respond.

You can’t directly attack by force.

Shangguan Yi said solemnly: “Since the offensive is not possible, then we will encircle Jiuquan County. However, the minister believes that we first adopt an offensive strategy, and after the bombing, if it does not work, then we will encircle In short, after isolating Jiuquan County, when the time comes to destroy the enemy forces in Jiuquan County, that’s with no difficulty.”

“Not easy!”

Li Jing shook the head and said: “You must know that since Li Ji has made a defensive posture in Jiuquan County, he must be fully prepared with food, equipment and weapons. The opponent also has a Gunpowder. We spare no effort to attack, and the opponent can counterattack. Furthermore, if you want to adopt an isolated strategy, I’m afraid it’s not very effective.”

Shangguan Yi said: “It’s always good to give it a try.”

Li Jing is not Speak again.

At least, he does not approve of Shangguan Yi’s suggestion.

Laiji suddenly said: “His Majesty, the minister has a strategy, maybe he can succeed.”
