I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Xiao Yuanqi patiently waited for news in the army, and at the same time, he was not idle. He arranged for someone to call the main generals of the Tang Army soldiers in front of him, and understand now Li Chengqian again. The status quo. After all, what Chen Taiping said was only Chen Taiping’s exposition, and he understood it from all aspects, so it was more detailed.

Xiao Yuanqi learned about Li Chengqian’s situation, especially knowing that Li Chengqian really retreated to Pu’an County, and he was completely relieved. In Pu’an County, Ma Zhou is in the town, especially the local tyrant Yang Family in Pu’an County has returned to Xia Country. Li Chengqian also evacuated to Pu’an County, which is walking right into a trap.

Xiao Yuanqi waited not long, then some soldiers returned to the army and reported that Sima Benteng had entered the Sword Sect Pass and the Sword Sect Pass was already under the control of Sima Benteng, not at all ambush .

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yuanqi immediately ordered to leave the camp and set off, and went straight to the Sword Sect Pass.

The location of the military camp is not far from the Sword Sect Pass. In a short time, the army arrived at the Sword Sect Pass, and then the army was stationed again to control this important level of entry into Sichuan Hinterland.

Because the road is narrow and rugged after entering the Sword Sect Pass, the cavalry is very slow at this time.

The march is not easy.

Even so, Xiao Yuanqi also arranged a 3,000-person infantry and 3,000-person cavalry. As a pioneer, he left the Sword Sect Pass first and went to catch up with Li who had evacuated first. Chengqian. Regardless of whether or not you can catch up, you can catch up first. And the general who was chasing this time was Sima Gallant.

He took the initiative to call in.

After Sima Benteng left first, Xiao Yuanqi immediately arranged for someone to send messages to Cháng’ān at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

Send the Sword Sect Pass message back.

Here, Xiao Yuanqi has already taken a step behind Su Dingfang, Ma Yuan and the others, and the results achieved are not as good as Su Dingfang and Ma Yuan. Now he has taken the Sword Sect Pass and quickly arranged for people to send the letter. From Sword Sect Pass to Cháng’ān, if the distance is actually not far, especially the soldiers who sent the letter ran at the fastest speed. In less than two days, they sent the message back to Cháng’ān and sent it to Du Qi’s hands. .

Du Qi read the news reported by Xiao Yuanqi and finally sighed in relief.

Before Xiao Yuanqi was blocked at the Sword Sect Pass, Du Qi did not interfere, but he was also concerned. After all, the army has been unable to capture the Sword Sect Pass, and the impact will be great. Now that it is finally entering the customs, Sichuan Hinterland is no longer able to stop Xiao Yuanqi.

Du Qi immediately arranged for Shangguan Yi to come, and said that Xiao Yuanqi broke the Sword Sect Pass and started chasing Li Chengqian, and that Li Chengqian might fall into the trap of Pu’an County.

Shangguan Yi said after listening: “Congratulations to His Majesty, now it is a double happiness.”

Du Qi said: “What is a double happiness?”

Shangguan Yi replied: “First joy, since Xiao Yuanqi broke the Sword Sect Pass and won the last difficulty in capturing Sichuan Hinterland. Now it is very easy to attack again. Even if Li Chengqian escaped in Pu’an County, that would be It is impossible to avoid Xiao Yuanqi’s attack, because Li Chengqian has no defensive measures. At this step, Li Chengqian will undoubtedly lose.”

“The second happiness is Tang Zhongsheng and The others, hurriedly manufactured according to the drawings, have built the first warship. This warship was seen in the water village. The warship collided with ordinary warships on the water, and the ordinary warships fell apart and collapsed. , And our warship is intact, without any impact.”

Shangguan Yi was very excited and said: “Once the autumn harvest is over and we go south, we can predict that we will attack by water. Li Shimin is very likely We will send troops to intercept and block, and then we will give them a head-on attack.”

Du Qi smiled after hearing this and said: “Our battleship situation, I also looked at the blueprint, it was on the battleship. The keel is reinforced, and the keel is made of steel essence. The strength is different. Compared with ordinary warships, both the load-bearing and the solidity are greatly improved.”

Shangguan Yi said: “It all relies on His Majesty’s guidance. Without His Majesty’s guidance, there would be no books given to the University of Science and Technology by His Majesty. Teachers in the University of Science and Technology, impossible made them.”

For Du Qi, Shangguan Yi is a heartfelt admiration.

I am even more amazed.

The countless items circulated from the University of Science and Technology, whether it is the secret weapons in the military, or the warships of today, and even other aspects, are Du Qi’s guidance. Du Qi is even younger than him, but Du Qi seems to be born with him. He has written too many books and talked about it.

Du Qi knows too much knowledge, it makes people seem to never see through.

It’s like a prophet.

Du Qi laughed, he changed the conversation and said directly: “Shangguan Yi, I don’t worry or worry about the battleship. Now Xiao Yuanqi here, since he has won, he deserves to be rewarded. Whether it’s Ziwu Gu, or the Sword Sect Pass, can’t be broken easily, but Xiao Yuanqi achieved a breakthrough. No matter how he broke through, he eventually succeeded. How do you think they should be rewarded and rewarded?”

Shangguan Yi thought about it a little, said resolutely: “His Majesty, in fact, the simplest reward is to reward them with a batch of drinks. When it comes to meat and the like, there is no need, because the army has sufficient supplies. In addition, they stand up The merits will naturally be reflected in the merit book and will be rewarded. Therefore, there is no need for additional rewards. Therefore, at present, the minister thinks that only a batch of drinks is needed.”

paused, Shangguan Yi added: “Furthermore, our Xia Country’s drinks are extremely expensive on the market. Rewarding a batch of drinks shows that they pay attention to it. The lieutenant soldiers must be greatly encouraged, can inspire their spirits, and make persistent efforts to build merits for His Majesty. “

Du Qi nodded and said: “Yes, this is the truth. You can arrange it and transfer five thousand jars of wine to send.”

One jar of wine is about three catties of wine.

Five thousand jars of wine, a full fifteen thousand catties, if you say that it is converted into money, it is at least hundreds of thousands, or even more. After all, Xia Country’s refined wines are not in full supply on the market, they are only available in limited quantities, and the prices are extremely expensive. However, this price is expensive on the market, but it has no effect on Du Qi. The price is not expensive, but it will consume a lot of ordinary drinks that’s all.

Shangguan Yi said: “All Listens to your Majesty, the minister will arrange it immediately.”

Du Qi nodded.

Shangguan Yi got up and quit, but when Shangguan Yi turned and walked to the entrance of the camp, he heard Du Qi suddenly said again: “Wait a minute, Tang Zhongsheng and the others also gave a hundred jars of wine In the past. They built the first warship, and it was very difficult.”

Shangguan Yi said: “The minister abides by the decree!”

After that, Shangguan Yi turned around. Leaving, and Du Qi also showed a smile on his face at this time. He stood up, turned and looked towards a map hanging behind him, picked up a brush, and crossed the Sichuan Hinterland Sword Sect Pass.

Now on the map, Sichuan Hinterland has been crossed from Shannan East Road to Sword Sect Pass, and it already belongs to Xia Country, and the marching of Su Dingfang and Ma Yuan can rest assured. After all the forks, many places have been captured and incorporated into Xia Country.

Although Li Shimin occupies the river capital, the situation in the entire Great Tang territory is increasingly favorable to Xia Country. The living space of Great Tang is shrinking sharply.

The general trend is already in the hands of Du Qi.
