I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In late August, various places were busy collecting food. Especially Xue Rengui’s army all arranged to go out, busy collecting food in the customs. When the land in the customs was busy in a frenzy, Du Qi seemed quite leisurely. Apart from handling the memorials sent from the country, he basically had nothing to do.

Most of the time, Du Qi went around the city to see the busy Cháng’ān, and then went back to the army to copy and write some materials. After all, there was not much to do.

On this day, when Du Qi was reading the information about harvesting grain from various places, Shangguan Yi entered with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Yi saluted: “His Majesty!”

Du Qi said: “Shangguan, you are here today, but what good news do you have?”

Shangguan Yi replied: “His Majesty, there is news today that Huating County in Longzhou has completed the harvest of grain. The completion of the harvest of this batch of military rations means that all the military grains in the entire Guanlong area have been collected and started Enter the drying stage. When the drying is complete, you can weigh and send it to the granary Statistics.”

“At present, the soldiers of the various armies are already helping the people everywhere to harvest the grain, and wait until the final harvest is complete. Then this year’s autumn harvest will be completely completed.”

paused, Shangguan Yi said: “This year’s grain harvest is very good, whether it’s the grain from our army or the people’s harvest. It’s a great harvest.”

“Good, good, good!”

Du Qi said three good words in a row.

For Du Qi, he did not send troops after a six-month delay, leaving Li Shimin to develop in Jiangdu. In the end, the Guanlong area had a bumper harvest, and the hearts of the people were attached, and he wasted so much energy in the Guanlong area.

Du Qi said: “In the past six months, Li Shimin has settled the chaos in Jiangnan and stabilized the situation. And we have also stabilized the situation inside the pass, which is not in vain. It took such a long time. Come down, when the grain is collected, you can prepare to send troops.”

Shangguan Yi said: “It’s true.”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yi paused again: “His Majesty , The minister has one more thing to report.”

Du Qi said: “But it’s okay.”

Shangguan Yi said: “When Xue Rengui led the troops to harvest grain, the minister had promised Xue Rengui, as long as his Perfection completes the harvest of the grain. Then after the task at this time is completed, he will be rewarded with a hundred altars of Qiongjiang Jade Liquid.”

Du Qi said: “Only a hundred altars of wine, no problem. Give it to him.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Thank His Majesty.”

Du Qi said again: “Speaking of which there is another thing right now, there are now at most ten Today, the harvest in various places should be completed, and all the troops will start to return. In such a short time, can all the remaining warships be completed as scheduled.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Please rest assured, His Majesty , Chen had visited the water village before. The warships built now have five more warships. There is still about half a month, enough time to build more warships to ensure that we can go south smoothly. “

Du Qi said: “That’s fine.”

“Report!”

At this moment, there were soldiers entering, and I reported: “His Majesty, there is an urgent letter from General Xiao.”

Du Qi said: “Submit.”

The soldier presented the letter in front of Du Qi, and Du Qi opened it. Come and see. After reading it, his face showed surprise. This letter was sent back by Xiao Yuanqi. He took the army and set off from the Sword Sect Pass, and got a letter from Ma Zhou on the way, and learned that Li Chengqian had been captured alive, so he wrote a letter for the soldiers to send back as quickly as possible.

Du Qi, after reading the news, understood the whole context, he looked towards Shangguan Yi and said: “Shangguan, although Xiao Yuanqi progressed the slowest, but he was the first to capture Tang Army’s The coach won the victory in the first battle in Shu. Xiao Yuanqi had already captured Li Chengqian alive and ended the entire Sichuan Hinterland battle. Next, Xiao Yuanqi wanted to sweep all parties and stabilize the situation in Sichuan Hinterland.”

Shangguan Yi accepted the letter, and after he read it, his face also showed a bright smile.

Finally.

Shangguan Yi said: “This time Ma Zhou’s plan is worthy of great credit. As for Yang Lu, Tang Ziyong, and Yang Zhengjian, the rewards given to them are to let Ma Zhou have the full authority to arrange the awards and report to His Majesty for approval. That’s right. After all, they made a great contribution.”

Du Qi said: “It can be arranged like this.”

Shangguan Yi continued: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

He reported many other matters needing attention, and then got up and resigned.

After all, many things have to be arranged.

Yangzhou, Jiangdu.

Great Tang Imperial Palace.

Li Shimin is sitting in the palace, reviewing the memorial. For Li Shimin, this half year was an extremely critical half year. In just half a year, Li Shimin’s army calmed down Jiangnan Road, and even Lingnan Road was included under his command. The only tricky thing is that the entire Jiangnan Road is prosperous and wealthy, but the Lingnan area is much behind.

Many places are still miasma and sparsely populated.

Even so, Li Shimin felt he had some confidence. Because in half a year, at least in Great Tang territory, there is life again, and the confidence to fight against Xia Country is accumulated.

While Li Shimin was busy, Wei Shuyu entered.

Wei Shuyu is now by Li Shimin’s side. He is a confidant. Although the official position is not comparable to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, Wei Shuyu can enter and leave the palace at any time. Wei Shuyu is in charge, who is surprisingly bad and controls the intelligence system. After standing still, Wei Shuyu saluted Li Shimin: “His Majesty!”

Li Shimin said: “Don’t be polite, what’s the matter?”

Wei Shuyu said resolutely:” His Majesty, there is the latest battle report, You Prefecture and the state, Xia Country army does not have to be exhausted, whether it is Prince of Wei Li Tai or Li Ke, they are all tired of resisting and passive. As for Sichuan Hinterland, Xia The Country Army entered the Shannan East Road, and Crown Prince is still using the Sword Sect Pass to resist.”

Today, Wei Shuyu has not received the latest news yet, so he is not clear about the situation.

Li Shimin said: “This situation is also expected. The Xia Country army is strong and strong. Although Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Chengqian have some strength, it is extremely difficult to resist. “

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

paused, Wei Shuyu continued: “For Cháng’ān in Guanzhong, Du Qi’s army has begun to scale up Harvesting grain. The minister predicts that once Du Qi’s autumn harvest is over, he will go south. Explain that there will be a battle.”

Li Shimin said solemnly: “Du Qi’s autumn harvest is over, and we have finished harvesting grain in the south. There is sufficient food in our granary, and our navy is well prepared. It is not so easy for Du Qi to go south. Shuyu, what you have to do now is to figure out the situation clearly and be sure to keep an eye on the Xia Country army Wei Shuyu said: “The minister understands!”

Paused, Wei Shuyu continued: “There is one more thing, that is, war is about to happen. Now all places have been settled. So now, it’s time to gather troops from all over Yangzhou to prepare for a war with Xia Country.”

Li Shimin said: “You can arrange it.”

To say now Li Shimin’s strength is slightly inadequate, but Li Shimin has sufficient geographical advantages, and now he has recruited troops again, so Li Shimin has the confidence to fight again.

Wei Shuyu responded, and hailed a few other things, so he turned to arrange things.

Li Shimin sat alone in the palace with a sense of fighting spirit in his eyes. In his fight with Du Qi, Great Tang has damaged countless people, but he still has the will to fight in his heart. He wants to defeat Du Qi again and seek the Central Plains again.
