I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In the beginning of December at Anrong Pass, the weather is even colder, and even snow has fallen in many places. The first snow has come, and the weather is bitterly cold. This kind of weather makes it extremely difficult to fight the march. After all, the weather is cold and it is inconvenient to travel. The soldiers are dressed in thick clothes, which is not conducive to action.

Fortunately, the soldiers in the Du Qi army are all dressed in the best military coats. All military coats are made of the finest cotton manufacture, which is very warm. So even in the cold winter, for the soldiers of Xia Country, it does not have much impact.

Du Qi nowadays, apart from daily patrols in the military, he rarely goes out and spends most of the time in the camp. Right now, Du Qi’s army is already the army that raids Li Shimin all over Longzhou. Even if Li Shimin is still taking refuge, the range of Li Shimin’s refuge is getting smaller and smaller and has been forced to the east of Longzhou.

Most of Longzhou is under the control of Du Qi.

Especially now in Great Tang, there are countless rebels everywhere. Countless people have established themselves as kings, and even become emperors with a small amount of force. A county can be called a king, and a small town can be called an emperor. This is the situation in Great Tang. The border is even more chaotic, but Li Shimin now has no time to take care of it. He can only delay time.

Du Qi knew about the situation of Great Tang, but he couldn’t control it for the time being. Only after he entered Great Tang and destroyed Li Shimin, could he sweep the chaos of Great Tang one after another.

On this day, while Du Qi was reading a book, Shangguan Yi entered.

Shangguan Yi’s face is full of joy.

He bowed a bow after seeing Du Qi and reported: “His Majesty, there is the latest news of the Imperial City, saying that Fang Xuanling has quietly arrived in the Imperial City, hoping to persuade the Retired Emperor, please Retired Emperor He came forward to persuade His Majesty to truce. After the Retired Emperor refused, Fang Xuanling was about to leave, but was engulfed by Zheng Yu, a villain placed in the Imperial City by Great Tang, with the intention of coercing the Retired Emperor. In the end, Yu Deshui was completely annihilated by Fang Xuanling. It’s already under our control.”

Du Qi smiled and said: “Li Shimin this time, but it’s a big loss. You just said that Fang Xuanling was trapped by Zheng Yu. Could it be the matter this time, not Fang Xuanling’s Because Zheng Yu insisted on going his own way.”

Shangguan Yi said: “All Listens to your Majesty, Zheng Yu asked Fang Xuanling to meet with the Retired Emperor, hoping to take the Retired Emperor directly. However, Fang Xuanling refused. So Zheng Yu finally chose to take down Fang Xuanling and intimidate the Retired Emperor.”

Du Qi said: “In this way, the detention of Fang Xuanling is also justified.”

Shangguan Yi said: “All Listens to your Majesty.”

Du Qi said solemnly: “In this way, Li Shimin’s last chance to survive is gone. Now, according to the previous plan, continue to sweep Li Shimin, After Li Shimin can’t get a foothold in Longzhou and completely withdraw from Longzhou, we will occupy the entire Longzhou. If today is cold and it is not conducive to marching and fighting, we will fight steadily and cannibalize at every step.”

Shangguan Yi said: “The minister will pass on His Majesty’s instructions. At present, General Xiao and General Xue have troops outside. They are gradually encircling, at most half a month, Li Shimin will have to leave Longzhou, and then It’s impossible to get a foothold in Longzhou either.”

Du Qi said: “The most important reason for achieving this result lies in the people’s will. So the next step is to treat the people as the first step. We must draw people’s hearts over. What the people want is the general trend. As long as we occupy the big If you take the initiative, attack Li Shimin and you will be invincible. “

Shangguan Yi nodded and said: “At this point, the ministers made arrangements for General Xue and General Xiao. All troops who go out must not take the people one by one, nor harass the local people. Once discovered, severely punished. “

Du Qi said: “That’s right. “

“Report! “

At this moment, there was a report from a soldier outside the camp. Immediately, a soldier picked up his robe and entered. The soldier stood still and bowed to Du Qi, saying: “His Majesty, yes General Xue urgently reported back. “

While speaking, the soldier handed over the message.

Du Qi accepted the letter, he waved his hand to let the soldier back down, then opened the letter and browsed it.

After reading the letter, Du Qi said with a smile: “Xue Rengui from the front line sent back news that he has encircled Xiao Yuanqi and annihilated Li Shimin’s four thousand troops. This time, I almost caught Li Shimin, but unfortunately, Li Shimin still escaped. But even so, this time also caught a member of Li Shimin’s This old official named Yu Shinan. “

Shangguan Yi is also very happy, said resolutely: “Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to His Majesty. At this moment, Li Shimin’s army was once again defeated. Counting the forces that wiped out Li Shimin before, then Li Shimin’s current strength is probably less than two thousand. Li Shimin now wants to fight against it, which is impossible. “

paused, Shangguan Yi continued: “With this strength of Li Shimin, it is certain that he can no longer stay, and he can only withdraw Cháng’ān. Even after returning to Cháng’ān, Li Shimin’s troops were not enough. So at the moment, Li Shimin will most likely choose to leave Cháng’ān. “

Du Qi nodded: “It’s possible. “

Shangguan Yi went on to say: “His Majesty, Li Shimin is now evacuating, so there is no strength to resist us in Dao Realm in Gyeonggi.” Especially in Gyeonggi Province, many officials have sent letters expressing their willingness to submit. In this case, we can go east step by step and reach Cháng’ān. Even if it enters December, the weather is cold, but for us, it is just marching instead of fighting, and it has no effect at all. “

Now that Xia Country dominates the world, it is the general trend, and it is impossible to stop it.

Xia Country’s army is invincible and invincible. In fact, this is snowballing. It was difficult and difficult at the beginning, but the more It’s easier to get to the back. Because under the general situation, any individual’s power appears to be minimal, at most it is a little block, and it is impossible to stop it completely.

Du Qi said: “It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Since Longzhou is already under our control, let’s set off. The order was passed down, and the army set off for the east border of Longzhou. There is Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi’s army ahead, so we just need to follow behind. “

Shangguan Yi said: “His Majesty, in addition to setting off the camp, the minister suggested that Fang Xuanling’s affairs should also be spread out. Li Shimin is now under his command, Yu Shinan is captured, and Fang Xuanling is also captured for sneaking into the Imperial City. The news came out and it was a great blow to Li Tang. Therefore, the minister believes that the news will help us to act. “

Du Qi said: “Yes! “

Shangguan Yi immediately arranged it. The camp in Anrong Pass was set up within one hour and started to go east. When Du Qi went east, Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi’s The troops continued to attack, starting from the eastern border of Longzhou and directly entering Qizhou in the east. Qizhou Land of a Province, which is extremely important to Gyeonggi, is the barrier of Cháng’ān to the west.

Originally, there was a huge stock of troops here.

Unfortunately, there are no people resisting the Xia Country army in Qizhou nowadays, and even leading parties have appeared, and they have directly returned to Xia Country without resisting at all. In a short time, Xiao Yuanqi and Xue Rengui swept Qizhou, and the army led by Du Qi also entered Qizhou, very close to Capital’s Magistrate.
