I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Ma Zhou expression solemnly, slowly said: “It is not easy to deal with Liaodong. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang tried his best to conquer Goguryeo, but failed. It ended. In the end, it ruined the foundation of several decades of Da Sui.”

Shangguan Yi smiled lightly and said: “Although it is difficult to attack Goguryeo and Silla, it is different today. Now ours The situation is different from when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo.”

“First, our weapons are more powerful.”

“Second, our generals can be independent Command will not be controlled by others. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he had extremely strict control over the generals who led the war on the front line, and the generals were not allowed to make decisions without authorization. Yang Guang should be consulted for any decision. In this way, the combatants were ruined. Good opportunity.”

“Especially Yang Guang was very lenient with Goguryeo. Once Goguryeo showed signs of surrendering, Yang Guang immediately ordered the front line to stop advancing and not allowed to continue attacking Goguryeo.”

“But we are different here. Ma Yuan led the army to attack Goguryeo and Silla, and His Majesty, regardless of Ma Yuan’s arrangements, let Ma Yuan do it. This will not restrict Ma Yuan, so there will be no battle. Big problem.”

Shangguan Yi had a determined look and said loudly: “I think the Liaodong region will definitely be included in my Xia Country.”

Ma Zhou said: “Ge The first statement is quite true.”

Ma Zhou is also a well-studied classic, knows the history of the Sui Dynasty, and also knows that Yang Guang’s attack on Goguryeo does have many improper layouts. Although there are many other reasons for Yang Guang’s defeat, for today’s Ma Yuan, all the mistakes made by Yang Guang will certainly not be affected here.

Du Qi’s big sleeve said: “Ma Yuan wants to deal with Goguryeo and Xinluo, that is a good thing. Shangguan Yi, you write to Ma Yuan, tell them, let them do it, I support them .”

“The minister obeyed!”

Shangguan Yi responded immediately.

At this moment, another soldier entered and reported: “His Majesty, from the Yun Prefecture in the north, there is a letter sent back by Su Ding General Fang, please read it by His Majesty.”

While speaking, the soldier handed a letter.

Du Qi accepted the letter, but he did not open it temporarily. With a smile on his face, he looked towards Shangguan Yi and Ma Zhou, and said with a smile: “This news will not come, that’s all, as soon as it comes, it will all come. It is estimated that Su Dingfang also ended the war.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Congratulations to His Majesty.”

Ma Zhou also opened the mouth and said congratulations.

Du Qi didn’t speak before, so he lowered his head and opened the letter in his hand, quickly reading Su Dingfang’s letter. After reading it, Du Qi laughed again, and he was really in a good mood. Shangguan Yi and Ma Zhou were also delighted when they saw this. Seeing Du Qi’s appearance, they knew that it must be good news.

Du Qi said: “Su Dingfang sent someone to pass the letter. He has captured Li Tai and Li Tai’s civilian officers and generals alive. Not only that, Su Dingfang and Amir made plans to rebel Turkic Ashina. Secret Service, kill the Lord of Turkic.”

“Now Ashina Secret Service leads the people to Xia Country and works for Xia Country. Su Dingfang said in his letter that the next step will be to continue to weaken Turkic, and even let Ashina Secret Service After entering the dynasty, Turkic will eventually be completely wiped out.”

Du Qi said: “Su Dingfang will continue to stay in Yun Prefecture for a period of time, temporarily unable to go south.”

Shangguan Yi exclaimed: “His Majesty, whether it is General Ma or General Su, is amazing! Originally, their mission was to deal with Li Ke and Li Tai, but now they are all going further. Horse. Silla and Goguryeo plot against it, Su Dingfang also took Turkic, it is very good, so it saves a lot of things. At least His Majesty here, it can be a lot easier.”

Du Qi nodded. : “They are indeed excellent.”

For the combination of Ma Yuan and Laiji, as well as the combination of Su Dingfang and Amir, and even the combination of Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Zhou, Du Qi is extremely Satisfied, because the tacit understanding is very high.

At this moment, Ma Zhou sighed after hearing the battle between Ma Yuan and Su Dingfang.

He thinks he has done a good job in Sichuan Hinterland, and even the first to come to Du Qi’s side, he thinks he should be the best, but now that he heard the news, Ma Zhou was smug in his heart , Also completely disappeared at this moment.

Ma Zhou’s mentality has returned to normal.

Du Qi turned around and said: “Now, what we have to do is go south. Now that we get the news and go south, I won’t have the slightest burden here. Now we don’t have any worries anymore. “

Shangguan Yi said: “His Majesty said that, until now, we have nothing to consider when we go south. Moreover, with the army led by General Xiao joining, our strength will increase again. It will be easy to kill Li Shimin.”

Du Qi nodded: “Go down and clean up. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off to the south.”

Shangguan Yi and Ma Zhou will go down together. .

Du Qi began to deal with some follow-up matters, because Li Ke is still escorting the south, and the people under Li Ke’s escort are also escorting the south. Du Qi must arrange the contribution of these people in advance. Du Qi’s attitude towards Li Ke is actually similar to Li Chengqian. He did not leave Li Chengqian’s life, and naturally he would not leave Li Ke’s life.

Therefore, Du Qi directly issued an order, ordering people to go north immediately, notify the person who escorted Li Ke, and execute Li Ke directly, and then only need to bring the civil and military officials under Li Ke to Jiangdu. can.

Some of these people are useful. So Du Qi can’t be put to death, he has to recruit and use it. In addition, Du Qi arranged many other things and handled all the details properly.

Everything is arranged properly, it is already late at night.

The weather in mid-to-late February is already quite good, with less chill. Although there was a hint of coldness in the evening, it did not have much impact. Du Qi put on a thin shirt and continued to be busy again, carefully sorting out the things that may be involved in the next southward journey, and knowing it well. Just lie down and rest.

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Du Qi got up and washed after washing, and then led his army to the south. The army grandiose left Jiangdu and headed south to the area where Lingnan was located. According to the news discovered by the bad guys, Li Shimin has not been entrenched in the county town now, but actively retreated to the forest and entrenched in the mountains.

Obviously, Li Shimin wants to fight a protracted battle.

Li Shimin hid in the mountains and bet that Du Qi could not attack, then after Du Qi retreated, Li Shimin could return in a swirl of dust and set out to sweep all over the country again to achieve the goal of rising again. It’s just that Li Shimin’s idea is good, Du Qi impossible makes Li Shimin happy.

Also, Li Shimin retreated into the mountains. For the time being, because Du Qi never went south, Li Shimin can communicate with the outside world and even has power in the outside world. But when Du Qi arrived, he surrounded Li Shimin. Because Li Shimin was blocked in the mountains, there was inevitably lack of food and the environment was difficult. When the time comes, it would not be acceptable for ordinary people.

When Du Qi headed south, the news spread first. After all, the grandiose army is on the way, impossible to hide whereabouts. So Li Shimin’s people who were in various places saw Du Qi’s army at once, and then spread the news quickly.

Li Shimin is located in Shaozhou.

Shaozhou is already close to the southern tip of Guangzhou.

These places have a typical southern climate. The climate is hotter and hotter. The most important thing is that many places nowadays, although they have been used for a long time, even in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, they were already inhabited and operated.

In fact, many such places are still quite barren. Originally, Li Shimin’s plan was to continue south and retreat into Guangzhou. But now there are many mountains in Shaozhou, so Li Shimin is entrenched in Yushan near Qujiang County, Shaozhou.

Qujiang County is the seat of Shaozhou.

Slightly more prosperous.

County Magistrate Zhu Yuwen from Qujiang County is a member of Li Shimin and belongs to Li Shimin. However, although Li Shimin is in Yushan, he has never been entrenched in Qujiang County. According to Li Shimin’s plan, once Du Qi went south and approached Qujiang County, it would be extremely difficult to resist with the city of Qujiang County.

Of course, if Du Qi can’t go south, let’s talk about it elsewhere. In short, it is more appropriate for Li Shimin to stay in the mountains. After all, Yushan is extremely vast and he does not lack supplies when hiding in the mountains.

Especially Yushan is also close to the river, and Geography is in a very good location.

He has a geographical advantage in Yushan.
