Wei Shuyu continued: “His Majesty, the minister’s third reason is Du Qi’s weapons. Even though the Chang’an City pool is strong, the problem is that Du Qi’s weapons are extremely powerful. Although the bombardment of Chang’an City will not blow up the city, it can at least suppress the power on the gate tower. The minister said that the simplest method is that on the gate tower of Chang’an City, within ten zhang, the weapon can be used Let’s not bomb.”

Li Shimin said: “Yes!”

paused, Li Shimin continued: “Even Du Qi’s weapons can have more precise strikes. With the experience of several confrontations between me and Du Qi, perhaps the accuracy within ten steps can be grasped.”

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, join the two sides of the ten zhang area, Du Qi also attacked with artillery fire to block our people from rushing to help. And Du Qi’s people, who specialize in this area, can they seize this area in one hour?”

Li Shimin said: “Theory From the above, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Of course, it’s not necessarily. Because under the artillery bombardment, our people can still rush to the past. There are always areas that can’t be bombarded by artillery. It’s not easy to say that it’s not easy to capture this area in one hour. “

Wei Shuyu said solemnly: “If Du Qi attacks this area with artillery fire, divide this area into several sections, and then continue to attack? When the time comes, everywhere is bombed. It is not easy to rush to help in time.”

Li Shimin sighed after hearing it.

As Wei Shuyu said, once Du Qi really wants to attack, maybe Li Shimin will be able to defend in one or two days. But after a long time, according to Wei Shuyu’s method of attack, Li Shimin may not really be able to defend.

Furthermore, even if it doesn’t follow Wei Shuyu’s method, it’s actually not that difficult for Du Qi to break Chang’an City’s defense. In short, it’s a lone city, Cháng’ān. It took a long time to block Du Qi’s pawn, and it must be unstoppable.

Li Shimin said: “Is there any reason?”

“Yes!”

Wei Shuyu nodded in reply.

Li Shimin said: “Go on.”

Wei Shuyu said again: “Fourth, today’s Chang’an City, as early as the Du Qi period, has been kept by Du Qi. Operation. Even before, Great Tang had won too many Xia Country merchants, which hit Xia Country’s power in Cháng’ān. But even so, Du Qi’s power in Chang’an City is still indispensable Look.”

“Once Du Qi attacks, this force will definitely explode. And this force, which exists in the dark, is very likely to affect the situation of Cháng’ān. As already said, in Chang’an City, there must be many people who have already contacted Du Qi privately.”

Wei Shuyu said: “Once Du Qi’s power detonates us in Cháng’ The internal response in ān is bound to be extremely dangerous. Therefore, this seems to be unimportant, but in fact it can explode with great influence.”

Li Shimin nodded: “Fifth What?”

Wei Shuyu said: “The fifth reason is that in today’s world, smoke is everywhere, and the situation is deteriorating. If at this moment, His Majesty will not leave, he will not go. A place to contend with Du Qi. Then when the place is completely rotten, the Imperial Court is no longer respected everywhere. Then when the time comes, even if His Majesty wants to evacuate, I am afraid there is no chance to evacuate.”

paused, Wei Shuyu said again: “Because there is no place to stand, His Majesty needs to reopen the territory and reorganize the various places. So now, it is still necessary to quickly control the place while the situation has not been corrupted.”

Li Shimin’s heart sank even more.

Compared to the previous fourth point, Li Shimin believes that Wei Shuyu’s fifth reason is quite critical. Because once the strength control of the place is lost, Li Shimin needs energy to stabilize wherever he goes. Without a place to retreat, when the time comes to leave Cháng’ān, it is difficult for him to have a foothold.

Li Shimin said again: “Any other reasons?”

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, there are some other small reasons, although they are not as important as they were before. , Will affect the stability of the place, will affect the guarding of Cháng’ān.”

Li Shimin waved his hand and sighed: “That’s all, you don’t have to say it again. I, choose to move the capital. Cháng’ān. If you can’t keep the guard, let’s evacuate. It’s just to evacuate. Where should we evacuate, whether we go north to Liaodong or south to Jiangnan?”

It is not a simple matter to move the capital.

Need careful consideration.

Wei Zheng opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, the minister suggested moving the capital to Jiangdu, Yangzhou. Jiangdu was originally the Imperial Capital and the place where Yang Guang once operated. When we arrived in Jiangdu, it was Jiangnan Road. It is prosperous and can give enough financial resources. On the other hand, the Jiangnan Water Element is developed, and the place is very different from the north. Du Qi’s elephant soldiers and cavalry are difficult to fight. Even in the south, there are many water towns, no northern mountains and no northern hills. , So artillery cannot occupy high ground.”

Wei Zheng has his own reasons, he continued: “As long as Du Qi is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not be easy for Du Qi to use his weapons to bomb us. The minister suggested that the capital be moved to Jiangdu, Yangzhou.”

Li Shimin nodded, but never expressed his opinion.

Moving the capital to Yangzhou is one aspect.

But it is not the only option.

“His Majesty, the minister opposed moving the capital to Yangzhou. The minister suggested that the capital be moved to Sichuan and to Chengdu.”

At this moment, Xiao Yu spoke.

Xiao Yu continued: “His Majesty, even if there are many water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the land of the south of the Yangtze River is rich. But in fact, the land of the south of the Yangtze River is worth Sichuan Hinterland. The difficulty of the Shu Road makes the birds sad. Once we have withdrawn into Sichuan Hinterland, we can hold on to the main road and guard the checkpoint. Due to the difficulties of the Shu Road, Du Qi’s elephant soldiers are difficult to reach and simply can’t get in.”

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu raised his head and glanced at Wei Zheng, then retracted his gaze, and continued: “In addition, Du Qi’s weapons are also difficult to transport, and even the army cannot make large-scale advances. When the time comes, it is easy for us to keep the main points. That’s a lot. So the minister thinks Jiangnan can’t keep it. Only by guarding Sichuan can there be a glimmer of survival.”

After Li Shimin heard it, shook the head and said: “Retreat to Sichuan, indeed Yes. Sichuan is the land of the granary, and there is a danger of mountains and rivers. However, once we enter the land of Sichuan, we become the turtle in the urn. We are indeed guarding the main road and blocking Du Qi from entering. But the same, Du Qi Also guarding our main path, making it difficult for us to break through.”

“This strategy, I will not choose.”

Li Shimin said: “Because I now leave Cháng ‘ān is just a strategic retreat. In the future, I will prepare to counterattack. Xiao Qing’s suggestion does not need to be mentioned. I will not enter Sichuan.”

As a courageous and strategic People, Li Shimin has his own strategic vision. He knew that Sichuan was a good place to retreat. After retreating to Sichuan, many of Du Qi’s weapons became useless. Even after he retreats in advance, he can guard the natural danger, one man holds the pass, blocking ten-thousand. Unfortunately, this is not Li Shimin’s choice.

Li Shimin is not willing to do such a thing.

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, regarding the transfer of the capital, the minister has been thinking about it on the way back to Cháng’ān. The minister has an immature suggestion on this matter.”

p>

Today’s Wei Shuyu, in times of crisis, has demonstrated the ability to out of the ordinary and shines.

Li Shimin admired Wei Shuyu very much, and nodded said: “Shuyu, what do you suggest, but it doesn’t hurt to say?”

He has changed his name to Wei Shuyu.
