The next day, early morning.

Xue Rengui has led his army to leave Jiangdu, and his army is divided into various places to sweep the states and counties of Jiangnan Road. In addition, Xue Rengui also dispatched some troops northward, working on various places along the perimeter of the canal, in order to capture various places on a large scale.

Du Qi still leads the army in Zhenjiang Capital and stands firmly in the rear. On the one hand, Du Qi suppressed the rear, and on the other hand, he set out to sort out the local area and stabilize the local internal affairs.

When Xue Rengui was advancing quickly, the army led by Li Shimin was also evacuating quickly.

In October, the army led by Li Shimin has already entered the territory of Kuaiji. Today, Li Shimin has more than 7,000 troops, mainly composed of Profound Armor and some infantry. Of course, in addition to more than 7,000 soldiers, there are also a large number of officials’ family members, as well as a large number of personnel accompanying them. The entire team is very large.

Fortunately, the soldiers carry food, but they can support it. Furthermore, Fang Xuanling had already made arrangements early on, so the journey was smooth, without any trouble.

Now Li Shimin is in Kuaiji, not far from Yangzhou, it is still not safe here.

If you hurry at full speed, you can arrive in a short time. Moreover, the Kuaiji area has been developed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. These places are now relatively prosperous and prosperous. And in Great Tang, these places were all repaired, the same is that the official road was paved with Cement, and the road was still easy.

At nearly noon, Li Shimin entire group stopped to rest.

Previously, when the Li Shimin entire group was in Kuaiji County, it provided supplies, so the accompanying grain and meat were temporarily sufficient. Right now Li Shimin has to head south, to the Southern Region of Jiangnan Road. Because it is close to the Lingnan area, there is a chance to breathe.

There is no way to gain a foothold in these places in Kuaiji.

Beside Li Shimin, there are Wei Shuyu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc., and Li Shimin looks slightly tired. After all, I had escaped all the way and was exhausted.

When Li Shimin was young, even if he kept running around, his bones could support him.

Now, Li Shimin is nearly forty years old. In particular, he has been working hard over the years, his bones have long been worse than before, and his temples have become a lot whiter, so after a long trip, he is very tired.

While Li Shimin was resting, Wei Shuyu got up and took the veil, hit the hot water, let Li Shimin wash his face with hot water before sitting down again, he seriously said: “His Majesty, we have to hurry up when we head south. News came from the unscrupulous people in the rear. Du Qi has started to attack all parts of Jiangnan after taking Jiangdu.”

“In addition, people were also arranged to go north to sweep up Jiangdu. Areas around the canal. Now Du Qi’s intention is actually very simple. It is to stabilize the place and consolidate the results that have been captured.”

Wei Shuyu said: “Under this situation, the space for our survival will increase. The smaller you are, the more difficult the situation will be.”

Li Shimin said dejectedly: “There is no way, it is simply impossible to stop it at the moment.”

Now Li Shimin has few troops. Up.

More than seven thousand people.

Perhaps in troubled times, these seven thousand people can sweep everywhere like the Inferno Blazing Praire of the stars. But now Du Qi has become the climate, and even Du Qi has a big rear like the Imperial City behind him, so he can’t compete with Du Qi at all.

The current situation is quite bad.

Seven thousand people can do too little.

Wei Shuyu once again said: “His Majesty, we are still facing one of the most difficult problems.”

Li Shimin asked with a puzzled look on his face, “What is the problem, Are you worried that we will continue to go south, and when we arrive in Lingnan, there will be no place to stand?”

Wei Shuyu shook the head and said, “This is not the case. Chancellor Fang has already arranged the going south. So. It’s okay to go south along the way, and there are personnel arrangements to go first. I am not worried. The problem that occurs right now is that we are going south along the way. There are already some people who are unwilling to go south and have begun to leave the team privately. “

shua!

Li Shimin’s complexion changed sharply.

There is more anger in his eyes.

While angry, Li Shimin felt helpless again. He is now panicked like a stray dog, how can he ask others to follow him to the death. Everyone knows that in times of adversity, it is the time to see a person’s mind.

Li Shimin suddenly chuckled twice.

There is self-deprecating in the laughter.

Li Shimin sighed and said: “It’s time to go, but you can’t stay. Instead of leaving these people, let them leave. We have to go south to Lingnan, and even enter the mountains to escape. So now , There can’t be people with impure minds. Keeping these people is actually a scourge and may even drag us down.”

Wei Shuyu expression admired: “All Listens to your Majesty, change to someone else When encountering such a situation, I could not bear it for a long time. I was already furious, and even wanted to kill a special kill. It would definitely kill him. But His Majesty, you can understand it, it is admirable.”

Li Shimin said: “Uncle Yu, don’t wear high hats. Now I am here, it is helpless.”

Wei Shuyu said: “His Majesty, the reason why the minister reported this matter is now Among the accompanying Imperial Court officials, there must be some people who are shaken in their hearts, and even their family members are worried. Instead of leaving these people as a burden, let them go.”

paused, Wei Shuyu said:” The minister suggested that you personally speak up and let those who want to leave let them leave. Take this opportunity to lighten our burden. His Majesty now needs iron and blood, and even more gentle means.”

Li Shimin said after listening: “I understand.”

Wei Shuyu relaxed.

Li Shimin can listen to persuasion, that is the best. But Wei Shuyu sighed in his heart. The strength of Xia Country is now too strong. It is constantly sweeping all over the country like a snowball, and it is constantly taking over regions from all over the world. If Du Qi is not strong, Li Shimin is so wise, such a wise master is enough to prosper Great Tang.

Unfortunately, the fate is in Xia Country.

Li Shimin looked towards Fang Xuanling on the side, and said, “Fang Qing, you go and inform and call all the officials and their families together.”

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: “His Majesty, do you call the army together? After all, there are so many soldiers in the army. Officials and their families leave without permission, and the same goes in the army.”

“Follow-up Xue After Wanche followed up, our military strength has actually increased, but now there are only 7,000 people left. Obviously there are deserters. So these soldiers should also talk together. If they want to leave, let them leave.”

Fang Xuanling said: “Tell them frankly and frankly that whoever wants to leave will leave so that they can make a decision. Only in this way can we ensure that we can fight to the end.”

Li Shimin said: “Yes!”

Fang Xuanling turned around to make arrangements after hearing this.

In a short period of time, Fang Xuanling gathered all the officials who were accompanying him, as well as the families of all the officials, as well as the Profound Armor and all the infantry. With all the troops gathered, Fang Xuanling came to Li Shimin’s side and said: “His Majesty, has been summoned.”

Li Shimin nodded.

He stretched out his hand and wiped his face, looked towards everyone who had gathered, breathes deeply, and he stood up and came to everyone. Li Shimin glanced over, swept over, and saw soldiers and officials who were evacuating with him.

Many of these people looked terrified.

A worried look.

When wind and rain are precarious, no one can be alone. Following Li Shimin one by one, as if being in a whirlpool, all of them were panicked, which was extremely normal.
