I’m Marquis in Great Tang

On the Tongji Canal, the river flows slowly.

The weather in March is getting warmer. Especially the further south, the warmer the weather. Under the golden-bright and dazzling sunlight, the entire Tongji Canal channel seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of golden light, with rippling waves and pleasant scenery. On the surface of the river, there were warships one after another, which were heading south quickly.

On all the warships, there is a big bow fluttering. There is a big Tang character on these big 纛, which represents Great Tang.

These are the teams led by Li Shimin.

Since Cháng’ān left, Li Shimin did not go south by land, but went south by water. Thanks to the connection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Li Shimin led troops out of Cháng’ān, walked the Guangtong Canal into the waterway, then turned to enter the Tongji Canal, and went all the way south.

Because the waterway is unblocked, Li Shimin’s army has now entered the southern Jiangnan Road boundary, which is already not far from Yangzhou Jiangdu. You can reach Jiangdu in one day at most.

On the battleship where Li Shimin was, he was standing on the deck, looking at the water and the scenery moving across the strait, but he was quite worried about the situation behind him. After all, Li Daozong alone led a small number of troops to guard Cháng’ān, it was difficult to block Du Qi. What Li Daozong can do is to delay that’s all.

Wei Shuyu is also standing next to Li Shimin.

He quietly looked at the surrounding scenery.

This time the south of Jiangdu, Wei Shuyu didn’t know whether he could eventually block Xia Country’s attack. However, Wei Shuyu believes that according to his plan, after Great Tang’s forces are dispersed, it will take time for Du Qi to completely wipe out Great Tang. At this moment, Li Shimin can return in a swirl of dust and strive to fight Du Qi again.

Li Shimin suddenly said: “Shu Yu, do you think there will be chaos in the local area after we arrive in Jiangdu?”

This time Li Shimin was worried that there was chaos in the place. .

Disobey Li Shimin’s orders.

Wei Shuyu’s slightly cold face, a smile appeared, opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to worry. The reason is very simple, Jiangdu originally had an Imperial Court The garrison is here to stabilize the Jiangdu situation. Today, there are 5,000 Profound Armor cavalry beside His Majesty, these all are the most elite troops.”

“There is this group of troops, plus accompanying Our 10,000 infantry soldiers. We are more than 15,000 elite, and local chaos is impossible. Of course, even if someone is doing chaos, under our attack, these troops are not enough to fear.”

“The minister is hope. They jumped out to make a mess, and then they could be in a spurt of energy and deal with all these people. In this way, the Imperial Court would be stable, and would not be able to allocate too much energy, but deal with these trivial things. His Majesty When I arrived in Jiangdu, I wanted to quickly develop strength, restore local production, and then gather strength to fight Du Qi again.”

Wei Shuyu seemed very calm.

Although it was an evacuation, Wei Shuyu is not in a panic now, because in Jiangdu, Li Shimin has a chance to make a comeback again.

Li Shimin nodded and said: “Shuyu said very well, I hope we can return to Cháng’ān as soon as possible.”

Leaving Cháng’ān is the pain in Li Shimin’s heart.

He is the emperor of Great Tang.

However, he chose to move the capital, and even in order to make Great Tang go back again, Li Shimin had to separate the troops from various places and arrange the people under his command to go everywhere. On the one hand, he developed his strength. , On the other hand, it is to try to keep a little spark, not to lose once, be swept away.

Li Shimin propped his elbows on the side of the ship, he suddenly said: “Shuyu, you said we can finally kill us?”

“Yes!”

Wei Shuyu nodded and said: “It must be possible.”

Li Shimin never spoke.

Wei Shuyu waited for a while, and then opened the mouth and said: “As long as His Majesty doesn’t give up, there will always be a day to go back. The sky is healthy, and the gentleman should be self-improving. As long as His Majesty is Persevere, we all have hope. If His Majesty gives up, then we are now struggling on whilst at death’s door.”

He knows Li Shimin’s mood very well, it is a little confused, even A little nervous.

The reason is actually simple. It has been hit too much.

Hou Junji, Li Ji, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and the others died in battle, and it was a blow to Li Shimin; Zhangsun Wuji killed himself, but Li Yuan died also was a blow; Changsun Wugu died of a middle-aged illness, which was also a blow…

A series of blows have fallen into the fall of mountains and rivers, and the fall of the community. These problems are piled up together. Even if Li Shimin is the wise lord, he is also facing tremendous pressure. That is to say, Li Shimin can resist, changing to be the rest of the people, and even unable to hold it long ago, the mentality may have already collapsed, and it is impossible to fight Du Qi again.

Li Shimin and Wei Shuyu were chatting, intermittently, unconsciously, and it was almost noon. At this time, all the warships were docked, and all the lieutenants and soldiers disembarked on the shore to rest and rest. At the same time, the companions were also Cook in a pot and prepare for lunch.

This is the favorite time for the lieutenants.

Be able to take a break.

At the same time, you can get more comfortable when you get off the boat. After all, they are soldiers from the north. Although the warship runs smoothly on the river, there are no bumps. Even so, some people are not comfortable. Now that he got off the ship, he could make the soldiers recover a little bit.

Shortly after disembarking from Li Shimin entire group, a sentry rushed over.

This is an urgent message from 800 miles.

The news about Li Shimin along the way is mostly by land, and the horses have been drying up non-stop, rushing day and night, so many times, letters can be sent out in the shortest time, but they are more than warships. Faster.

The sentry reached Li Shimin’s side and handed over the letter, saying: “His Majesty, this is the battle report sent by Cháng’ān.”

Li Shimin took it and opened the letter. When he finished reading, the expression on his face flashed with helplessness, looked towards the civilian officers and generals around him, and sighed: “Chang’an City is broken, Li Daozong is killed in the battle. Today’s Chang’an City has fallen into Du Qi’s hands.”

When everyone heard it, they all looked solemn. They hadn’t left Cháng’ān for a long time. As soon as Du Qi’s hind feet arrived at Cháng’ān, he broke the city in a short time. It is fast.

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, Jiangxia Prince of County has six thousand elites, Chang’an City is extremely strong, and shelling is ineffective. At most, it suppresses the fight on the gate tower. But on the gate tower. When fighting, impossible has been bombarding, otherwise, it would be indiscriminate bombing, and even those with Du Qi would be killed. In the end, how did the city break.”

Li Shimin Said: “It was Han Yun, a merchant in the city, who organized the merchant’s forces to combine inside and outside, and opened the city gate to allow Du Qi’s army to enter the city. In addition, Li Daozong’s long history, Lan Changhe, also turned to Du Qi and became Du Qi’s man. As a result, all the Gunpowders in Li Daozong ambush in the city were robbed by Lan Changhe. So much so that Li Daozong’s backs were completely gone. These merchants in Chang’an City are really hateful. This Lan Changhe , It’s really hateful. Damn it, damn it!” Li Shimin at this moment was very angry.

Li Daozong’s death is dead in vain.

At the time of the evacuation, Li Shimin asked Li Daozong to evacuate together, but Li Daozong insisted on staying guard. Li Shimin’s persuasion was fruitless, so that the situation is now.

Wei Shuyu also sighed.

Another member of General was lost.

Li Shimin sighed and ordered the whole army to mourn for the dead Li Daozong. At this moment, Li Shimin had no intention of eating, and even didn’t even eat lunch. After boarding the boat, the team began to set off to continue south.

Wei Shuyu never persuaded him because he believed Li Shimin could adjust. This kind of thing is not one or two times. After time has passed, Li Shimin can definitely adjust it.

Wei Shuyu is even more convinced that Li Shimin will get used to it when his heart is hurt, and it will become stronger. Wei Shuyu firmly believes that Li Shimin cannot be defeated even if there are thousands of sufferings.

Wei Shuyu did not speak, but Wei Zheng spoke to persuade him, hoping that Li Shimin would be refreshed. Because at this moment, if Li Shimin’s spirit goes down a bit, the morale of the army will be lost, so we must cheer now.

After listening to Li Shimin, he quickly adjusted his status. In the evening, when the warship docked and docked, he gathered the lieutenant generals and talked about Li Daozong, and then encouraged the soldiers. Call on soldiers to take revenge.

For a nobleman to take revenge, ten years are not too late.

Li Shimin is to let the people under his command remember the hatred, and then prepare for revenge.

After a lot of effort, the soldiers gradually recovered. After all, Li Shimin still has fighting spirit, and the morale of the soldiers will not collapse directly. After Li Shimin appeased the soldiers, he could only put all the sadness in his heart because Yangzhou was about to arrive.

Next, Li Shimin needs to cheer up.

Gather strength in Jiangdu as soon as possible.
