Du Qi led the army to cover up, and seeing the surrendered Tang Army soldiers, he ordered his men to come forward and take all the prisoners. In just one hour, all the prisoners were taken into custody, the army has been assembled, and the count has been completed.

Xue Rengui came to Du Qi’s side and reported: “My lord, we have captured more than 38,000 Tang Army soldiers in this war, and more than 3,600 people were killed. Thousands of people fled to the surrounding area. Besides, Xiao Yuanqi captured Hou Junji alive. Hou Junji fell into our hands again this time.”

Du Qi said: “Captive Tang Army Soldiers, select elite soldiers, and reorganize them into the army. As for ordinary soldiers, they are left as auxiliary soldiers. These Tang Army soldiers are elite and can be used.”

Xue Rengui said: “Humble duty.”

For the reorganization of soldiers, it is actually not difficult, because Du Qi’s army is well paid, and many of these soldiers are also locals, so they submit to Du Qi, as long as they give enough benefits, there will not be too much problem.

Not long ago, Hou Junji was brought over.

Du Qi looked at Hou Junji and said with a smile: “Hou Junji, I didn’t expect that we would meet again! How about it, right now, I am very excited.”

Hou Junji was about to cry.

I planted again.

He fell into Du Qi’s hands again this time.

Hou Junji has learned a lot. He is unwilling to repeat the tragic situation under Du Qi’s command. So Hou Junji immediately said: “Xia Wang, the assassination at this time was actually the frustration of Su Dingfang. It was he who fought hard. That’s why the soldiers ambush it. It’s definitely not me. I don’t want to take the shot.”

He sold Su Dingfang and let Su Dingfang come back. Because in Hou Junji’s view, Su Dingfang is not in harmony with him anyway, and it does not matter if he sells Su Dingfang. As long as Su Dingfang doesn’t dismantle, everything will be fine.

Du Qi said: “Hou Junji, according to the king’s understanding of Su Dingfang. He guards Guazhou, he will not agree to send troops, let alone assassinate me. I am afraid you are shirking responsibility, it is better to , The king immediately shouted to Su Dingfang and asked about Su Dingfang. If Su Dingfang arranged an assassination, this king will not deal with you. If Su Dingfang has not confided, this king will kill you immediately.”

Hou Junji smiled and said: “Xia Wang, Su Dingfang did not say to assassinate you. In fact, it was my staff and the people around me who wanted to assassinate you. I was deceived at the time.”

Du Qi continued Said: “It just so happens that everyone under your command has been taken down. I will ask your staff to see what they say. If you are deceived, I will let you go. If you are not deceived, I will kill you. You.”

Hou Junji was a little confused when he heard it.

Why always kill him.

Hou Junji was terrified and knelt on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy: “Xia Wang, I am wrong. I should not arrange for someone to assassinate you. I am wrong. I beg Xia Wang to spare my life and give I have a way of life.”

Du Qi said with a sneer: “Oh, I will admit it.”

Hou Junji smiled, facing Du Qi, his heart was very guilty , Because I’m really afraid that Du Qi will kill him.

Du Qi stretched out his hand and patted Hou Junji’s face, and said again: “Speaking of which, you are really the lucky star of this king. Last time, you took the initiative to fight with this king, which triggered the conflict between this king and Great Tang. After the war, the king finally settled in the Western Regions and Jianguo became the king. Because of the retreat of Great Tang’s 200,000 army, the subsequent founding of the country. This time, you came to take the initiative again and were taken by this king. Your fall Failure will kick off the prelude to the fall of Guazhou. Hou Junji, you are such a lovely person.”

Hou Junji’s cheeks twitched.

I feel ashamed.

He is dozens of years old, Lu National Duke of Great Tang, Lord Duke of Great Tang, but he didn’t expect to be slapped in the face by Du Qi, and he was talking in front of so many people. Especially that he is a lucky star.

Hou Junji said: “Du Qi, even if you take Guazhou, you can’t stand.”

Du Qi smiled and said: “Who said I want to base Guazhou “

Hou Junji said: “Then what are you going to do?”

Du Qi said resolutely: “What I want to do, it has nothing to do with you. In short, you are reduced to Captives made it difficult for the emperor. Hou Junji, Hou Junji, do it for yourself. Well, I hope when the time comes you have a chance to survive. Otherwise, you will definitely die.”

Hou Junji has a heart. Sank.

“take along to withdraw!”

Du Qi gave an order.

Immediately the soldiers dragged Hou Junji down, and Du Qi led the army forward to the gate tower. Du Qi looked up to the gate tower and saw Su Dingfang in armor, and said: “Brother Su, we meet again.”

Su Dingfang said: “King Xia is here, Guazhou is honored . It’s just that I, Su Dingfang, shouldn’t be King Xia’s Brother Su. King Xia can be called Su Provincial Governor, or by his name. After all, you and I have our own positions and should not be called brothers and sisters. Even more how King Xia just broke into Guazhou, Destroying the army led by Hou Junji is tantamount to openly fighting Great Tang. King Xia, we are hostile.”

Du Qi said: “The position is the position, and personal relationships are personal relationships. Brother Su’s vision and Ability, I admire, even more how, even though you and I are now enemies, personal relationships are good. That’s all, if you want to be public to public in Su Provincial Governor, then public to public. Su Provincial Governor, you open the city If the gates surrender, this king will not kill more. If Su Provincial Governor insists on resisting, you should know that trifling Guazhou City cannot stop my army.”

Su Dingfang said in a hurry: “Then I will be on the gate tower, waiting for King Xia’s attack.”

All the troops on the gate tower are in place.

And the defensive equipment is in place.

Everyone is ready for a battle, and Su Dingfang has certain confidence in garrisoning city. After all, they are on the gate tower, not outside the city. Even if Du Qi has powerful weapons, in front of the solid gate tower, Du Qi’s grenades and landmines cannot be used. Even if there is a Gunpowder, it is useless.

Du Qi smiled and said: “It seems that Su Provincial Governor has great confidence in being able to hold the county seat. In that case, this king will weigh your abilities.”

paused, Du Qi looked towards Xue Rengui next to him and said: “Xue Rengui, we will lead the army to station, and adjust the rest first, wait until the afternoon is past the time of application, and then come to the battle.”

From yesterday to today , Rushing around all night, and fighting again in the morning, so the soldiers under his command are quite tired.

Everyone needs to rest.

Moreover, the weather in Western Regions today is just hot. The sun is painfully hot until the afternoon application time, the degree of sun is painfully hot slowed down, because the Western Regions have long days and short nights, and the daylight hours are very long, even if the application time is offensive, it has no effect.

The army retreated, Su Dingfang was a little bit astonished when he saw it, because Du Qi retreated after speaking harshly. Fu Junheng felt even more strange, and asked: “Su Provincial Governor, Du Qi just said harshly, but he just retreated and didn’t attack. You see, why is he?”

To talk to Du Qi Yes, Fu Junheng asked himself if Su Dingfang knew Du Qi.

So he asked.

Su Dingfang said: “Fu Changshi, I was a little confused just now about the reason Du Qi retreated, but after thinking about it, it is actually reasonable. He came long distances to attack Hou Junji. , The lieutenant general is exhausted. Now after winning, it is in a spurt of energy that is exhausted again, and the battle strength is weak. If it were not for our lack of strength, I would immediately order an attack and fight Du Qi.”

paused, Su Dingfang said again: “It’s just that the troops are insufficient at the moment and can only be guarded. Du Qi must rest first, and then wait until the soldiers recover their battle strength, they will come to attack Guazhou City. We are about to face the most dangerous moment. “

Fu Junheng sighed: “This battle is inevitable, but I don’t know what will happen in the end.”

Su Dingfang said: “One step counts as one step.”

Fu Junheng suddenly said: “Su Provincial Governor, do you think we can hold the county seat?”

“I don’t know!”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said:” Du Qi is an extremely powerful man. Especially as far as I know, Du Qi has not yet lost a single defeat. So in this case, the outcome is unknown. As just said, one step counts as one step, as long as I am Guazhou Provincial Governor, he will stick to it. Until the end, he will never give up.”

Fu Junheng nodded and said no more.
