I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Shimin thought for a while, and suddenly said: “Since Du Qi does not send troops, can we deploy a part of our troops to return to China and sweep out the bandits everywhere? When Du Qi really wants to attack, we will make another call. The troops will return.”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: “His Majesty, this is actually not appropriate. It is not easy to maintain our food, grass, money, etc. for a long time. Since we started arresting Xia Country merchants and taxing Because of the continuous wars over the years, the State Treasury has been greatly depleted, and the food in many granaries has also been consumed countless.”

Wei Zheng echoed: “And nowadays, chaos in various places requires It is not easy to recruit food. The situation is very unfavorable to us. Once we delay for a long time, we are very likely to be unable to survive. In addition to the border, because the army is preparing to withdraw to the border to suppress the chaos, when the time comes For a long time there is no army on the border, and the border is also a trouble.”

Li Shimin clenched his fists and punched them on the city wall with a wry expression on his face.

Damn it!

This is another difficult situation.

Li Shimin can be sure that once his army withdraws, Du Qi’s army will definitely attack and go straight to Longzhou. When Du Qi’s army enters Longzhou and intervenes in Gyeonggi Province, it will threaten Cháng’ān’s safety even more, so Li Shimin is in a dilemma again.

Du Qi’s hand, as if hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, directly pinched Li Shimin’s lifeline.

Li Shimin’s eyes were sharp, his sleeves flicked, and ordered: “In this case, we took the initiative to send troops to Longzhou and attack Du Qi’s camp. I don’t believe it. We have 150,000 troops. It will be like it was in Changbaipo before. The army will rest for a day, and we will send troops.”

Li Shimin directly gave the order.

When everyone heard the words, they went to prepare.

The army rests and reorganizes, Li Shimin is temporarily wandering here in Anrong Pass. He called Zhu Zhi, the leader of Anrong Pass, and said again: “Zhu Zhi, think about it again, what else is there about Xia Country Du? Qi’s news. Although you have reported some reports before, it may not be comprehensive. Now, you can recall all his news to see if there is any omission. What if you omit something that might help us to enter the army?”

This is Li Shimin’s leak check.

Hope to have the opportunity.

Zhu Zhi is not tall, with a slightly thin body, he is extremely careful and cautious. He thought about it carefully, said resolutely: “His Majesty, regarding the news reported by the minister, what is missing should be that after Du Qi’s army arrived at the border, in fact, there is a chance that he will be able to kill An Rong Pass. Here. Because outside Anrong Pass, there has been no fortification, nor has there been an army guarding him, but Du Qi just stationed at the border without any other actions.”

Li Shimin cheeks twitched.

This is nothing to say.

No value.

Li Shimin said: “Nothing else?”

Zhu Zhi thought for a while and said: “There is also a general situation of the Du Qi army camp, and the border Xia Country military camp The minister arranged for soldiers to inquire about the surrounding environment. However, this information should be of little use. After all, Du Qi is the guardian. We know or don’t know the situation of the other party’s camp, so it’s not of much value.”

Li Shimin’s eyes lit up and said: “How can it be worthless? This is very useful.”

“Quickly, get the topographic map right away.”

Li Shimin Commanded.

Zhu Zhi immediately turned around and fetched the topographic map he painted, which recorded the location of the Du Qi army, and also marked the specific situation around the camp. The mountains, rivers, and ground veins were all one after another clearly marked.

Li Shimin took it over and checked. He saw that Du Qi’s camp was located. He had not chosen a hillside area, but an open place. Such a place is not easy to be ambushed, but the disadvantage is that it has lost its commanding height and has no defensive area.

Li Shimin looked a little excited.

The battle of Changbaipo, because Du Qi occupies a favorable position on the front line of Changbaipo, Li Shimin had to attack Changbaipo, which cost a lot of strength and wasted countless troops. Capture Changbaipo.

The reason why we haven’t conquered it is that Xia Country’s artillery is so powerful that soldiers dare to fight. On the other hand, Changbaipo is a highland. Even if this highland is not particularly steep, Du Qi dug trenches on the hillside in advance and arranged weapons. Moreover, the entire Changbaipo line is Du Qi Qi’s line of defense caused Li Shimin’s attack on Changbaipo to be very disadvantaged.

It’s different now.

Du Qi is surrounded by flat areas, and they have a chance to win and can directly push Du Qi’s camp.

Li Shimin lifts the head looked towards Zhu Zhi and said: “Zhu Zhi, this news of you is very timely. If we arrive at the border and then check the news temporarily, it will most likely not be timely. We know now, You can plan ahead and make arrangements in advance. You have made a great contribution.”

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: “The minister did not dare to claim credit, but he did his duty.”

Li Shimin waved his hand to make Zhu Zhi retreat, and immediately called Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. After he explained the layout of the Du Qi camp on the border, he opened the mouth and said: “Du Qi this time around the camp , There is no jungle, no hillside, just an open grassland. Such an area has no effect on us and cannot build fortifications.”

“So I think that in this case, we are attacking Our plan is to mobilize Zhu Zhi’s forces guarding An Rong Pass together. Zhu Zhi An Rong Pass has more than 10,000 elites, plus our 150,000 people, which is more than 160,000 and nearly 10 Seventy thousand troops.”

“This force is extremely large.”

“Occupies the advantage of the number.”

“Our After arriving at the border, the army directly divided into eight directions, attacking from the east, south, west, and north of Du Qi camp, as well as the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. A total of eight areas were attacked. The total strength of each place is total. Twenty thousand people.”

“A total of 160,000 people attacked.”

Li Shimin’s eyes were sharp, and he said: “Eight troops are attacking, I don’t believe it, Du Qi’s line of defense It can be stretched so long. Du Qi’s Gunpowder, artillery and other weapons cannot be bombed completely, unable to block our troops, and once our army enters, Du Qi will undoubtedly lose. Du Qi’s troops are not comparable to us and consume In the end, Du Qi must be the first to lose. In a word, Du Qi does not occupy favorable terrain to defend, and if we fight hand-to-hand with us, it will be defeated.”

Li Shimin at this moment is quite excited. .

While talking and behaving, he is quite instructive of Country’s imposing manner, and he is even more smug.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: “His Majesty said it is very true, but there are still some specific details that need to be added.”

Immediately, Fang Xuanling raised some details. .

After listening to Li Shimin, he also put forward his own opinions, and worked with Fang Xuanling to check the omissions, perfected all the problems, and finally decided on the offensive strategy. At this time, Li Shimin was resurrected again full of blood, full of fighting spirit, and wanted to compete with Du Qi again, and even more to defeat Du Qi completely.
