I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Capital’s Magistrate House, Cháng’ān.

Imperial Palace great hall.

Li Shimin sits directly above, below Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu, and Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, Xiao Yu and other cultural relics and Important Ministers, all gathered. It’s just that the expressions on everyone’s faces are extremely serious, revealing solemn killing aura. Because the army of Xia Country had already reached the territory of Qizhou, and after Li Shimin evacuated from Longzhou, his strength was weak, so he evacuated directly and returned to Cháng’ān.

Li Shimin looked around and slowly said: “Qizhou has been lost, and now it’s January, the coldest weather has passed. Although Du Qi’s speed in taking Qizhou is a bit slower, he won There is no hidden danger in fighting steadily. In particular, Du Qi slowed down the speed of the army, and it just survived the cold winter. When January passes and the spring starts in February, Du Qi’s army will be more likely to enter the army. It can be expected that it will not take long. Du Qi will arrive in Cháng’ān at the right time.”

“How do we resist Du Qi’s attack now?”

Since the departure of Longzhou, Li Shimin’s strength has been weakened and his There are only two to three thousand people. He retired to Qizhou before, and wanted to use Qizhou’s local strength to resist Du Qi again. Unfortunately, Qizhou was messed up. There was no fighting spirit in Qizhou, so Li Shimin simply evacuated Qizhou and returned to Cháng’ ān come.

Li Shimin is also quite nervous now.

Great Tang has reached a critical moment.

Unable to stop Du Qi’s army, then Great Tang Imperial Capital Cháng’ān will fall into Du Qi’s hands, and Great Tang will also be destroyed.

The crowd looked solemn.

The atmosphere in the great hall is very heavy. Many people watch their noses and noses, and never speak. Exactly like this, it makes the atmosphere more solemn, as if Great Tang has reached the final juncture, and it is already declining Western Mountain.

Li Shimin saw that everyone was silent, and said again: “Why, there is no solution?”

“His Majesty, the minister has this play.”

At this moment, it was Wei Shuyu who stood up.

Locally, Wei Shuyu is also the Provincial Governor on the pastoral side. He returned with Li Shimin before. Although he has never been awarded a new official position by Li Shimin, he is deeply trusted and respected by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw Wei Shuyu stand up and nodded: “Minister Wei, what do you suggest?”

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, the minister suggested moving the capital.”

hua!!

There was an uproar in the great hall.

When looking towards Wei Shuyu one by one, the expressions all were a bit shocked. Wei Shuyu really dare to talk nonsense! It is really no taboo to say things like moving the capital directly.

Wei Zheng is at the forefront. When he looked towards Wei Shuyu, there was a touch of helplessness in his eyes. This matter rests on him, he will definitely not mention it. However, Wei Shuyu said directly. The first person to speak out is likely to offend Li Shimin, so no one stands up and speaks. It’s not that no one thought about it, but that everyone was afraid to speak out.

Wei Zheng feels that the child is too old to manage. Wei Shuyu used to be a gentleman, an honest and honest child, but now, he is extremely strong, even dare to say anything, is too courageous to control.

Li Shimin’s expression really changed abruptly. He looked at Wei Shuyu, and it was also quite sharp. Said solemnly: “Wei Shuyu, why do you suggest moving the capital? Didn’t Cháng’ān want it?”

Wei Shuyu opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, the army of Xia Country, has come to Qizhou and is getting closer and closer to Cháng’ān. Once the army of Xia Country kills Cháng’ān, even Chang’an City pool is strong, but can it withstand Du Qi? Obviously it is impossible. Not only because of the strength of the Xia Country army, but also because of our lack of troops, and the popularity of the people. At this time, the only way to move the capital to leave Cháng’ ān, strive for a glimmer of survival.”

Li Shimin said: “In this Chang’an City, we have enough food and enough equipment. Even today’s Cháng’ān garrison, because There was power before, and we had nearly 30,000 people. The strength of more than 30,000 people, with the help of a solid city, will command the kings of the world. Once the continuous force of troops gathers in Cháng’ān, and Du Qi travels a long distance, it may not necessarily Can break Cháng’ān.”

In Li Shimin’s heart, he is unwilling to move the capital, because once the capital is moved and left, it is equivalent to giving up Great Tang Imperial Capital, so Great Tang is no longer complete.

So Li Shimin directly refuted.

Wei Shuyu looked solemn and continued: “His Majesty also said just now that Du Qi may not be able to break Cháng’ān. So in His Majesty’s heart, he actually thinks that Du Qi’s army will be killed. , It is very likely to break Cháng’ān.”

Li Shimin said: “Du Qi’s army is powerful after all, and even though I guard Cháng’ān, I don’t necessarily say that guarding Cháng’ān is really Cháng. ‘ān is immortal, not Cháng’ān may fall. If you can have complete assurance to hold Cháng’ān, you will not have to discuss it. Naturally there is a certain risk, so Cháng’ān is guarded.”

Wei Shuyu said: “All Listens to your Majesty.”

Li Shimin continued: “So now, what else do you have to say?”

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, in fact, still can’t hold Cháng’ān at the moment. Just now, the minister said that His Majesty mentioned that the Xia Country army may not be able to hold Cháng’ān, just a reason. About Xia Country The army arrived at Cháng’ān to attack, and the ministers have other explanations.”

Li Shimin said solemnly: “But it’s okay.”

To talk about Cháng’ān’s guarding, it’s natural to say The clearer the better, once there are errors, then many things are difficult to handle. When Du Qi’s army has already approached the city, when the time comes to fight again, the situation will be bad.

Wei Shuyu opened the mouth and said: “First, the army of Xia Country killed Cháng’ān, not rootless, nor deep into the hinterland, let alone a long journey. Because Du Qi all the way When you get to Cháng’ān, all places along the way are already attached. Even Du Qi has won the people, and has the support of Aristocratic Family Great Clan, and the official roads are connected everywhere, and they can drive on the road regardless of the weather.”

“Du Qi’s food, equipment and weapons can be transported continuously from the rear. Therefore, Du Qi’s army, even if it is outside Chang’an City for a long time, has no effect. Therefore, the minister believes that Du Qi Once the army takes root in Cháng’ān, it is like a supporting heaven giant pillar, nailed to Chang’an City. Even if Du Qi does not attack, it will be a great threat to Cháng’ān.”

Wei Shuyu gave the first analysis.

Li Shimin’s eyes narrowed, after thinking about it, he had a judgment. He knew the situation, and he also knew that Du Qi swept all over the place. It was a steady and steady attack, and it was supported by Aristocratic Family Great Clan. In addition, Du Qi was originally the person from Great Tang, so the people supported it.

In particular, Du Qi’s march has always been strictly disciplined. Soldiers never disturb the people and give them a lot of preferential treatment. Therefore, the people support Du Qi and there is no problem at all, so food, equipment, etc. are sent continuously. Du Qi can attack steadily.

Li Shimin said solemnly: “What about the second reason?”

Wei Shuyu said: “Secondly, the hearts of the people in the city are floating. Now, in Chang’an City, regardless of the people, Or officials, they would compete in private to talk about Xia Country’s offensive. But when we were in Longzhou and Qizhou before, many officials passed a letter to Du Qi privately and secretly submitted to Du Qi.”

paused, Wei Shuyu continued: “From this inference, in fact, in Chang’an City, many officials have been very careful and have begun to find a way out for themselves. So at the moment, it must be The hearts of the people in the city are floating. When the whole army has lost their fighting spirit and the whole team has lost their fighting spirit, it is really difficult to block Du Qi’s army.”

Li Shimin gave his heart a little bit. Shen, his expression is extremely serious. In Wei Shuyu’s words, when it comes to the point, the most critical point right now is not how powerful Du Qi is, but that the fighting spirit of his own army has collapsed. Under this premise, it is quite difficult to completely block Du Qi’s army.

Li Shimin breathes deeply adjusted his emotions and said again: “If you have any questions, just talk about them, and tell them all. Right now, we need to discuss the issues thoroughly so that we can make arrangements.”
