I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Su Dingfang’s return is not in vain, and Du Qi has spent so much thought. He knows that Su Dingfang’s abilities are extremely outstanding. He is a civil and military person who can fight wars on horses and govern the country when off horses. It would be a pity for such a person to throw it at Li Shimin. Therefore, Du Qi tried his best to bring Su Dingfang to Great Xia Country.

No matter what method is adopted, as long as the goal can be achieved in the end, it is worthwhile. Because after Su Dingfang reconciled, as long as Su Family members were in Western Regions, Su Dingfang had no choice.

Du Qi asked Su Dingfang to stand up and looked towards Fu Junheng said: “Fu Changshi, what about you?”

Fu Junheng said: “Humble job is willing to return.”

Even Su Dingfang has already surrendered. What hesitation does he have. Especially Guazhou City was taken by Du Qi. It doesn’t make sense for him to insist. Even more how this time the fall of Guazhou was caused by his own hands. . Even if he didn’t have the idea of ​​helping Du Qi, it was because he caused the fall of Guazhou. Staying in Great Tang would have to be questioned. It is better to submit.

Su Dingfang breathes deeply, and he quickly adjusted his mentality. Because now that he has surrendered, holding on to the air, and even thinking about himself as a Great Tang minister, it will definitely not help. So now after Su Dingfang adjusted his mentality, he looked towards Du Qi and said: “Xia Wang, the minister has a question.”

Du Qi said: “But it’s okay.”

Su Dingfang said resolutely: “Although King Xia has won Guazhou, in fact, it is almost a very good idea to truly gain a foothold in Guazhou. It’s difficult. The reason is simple. In the past, the Emperor Great Tang was willing to retreat because Great Tang had never been attacked in essence and his interests were never damaged. Therefore, given the strength of King Xia, the emperor was willing to retreat.”

paused, Su Dingfang said again: “But now, Great Tang’s territory is captured by King Xia and Guazhou is lost. The emperor is impossible to swallow this breath. Once King Xia wants to take Guazhou City as his own, it will inevitably lead to a war. Even if Great Tang’s weapons fall behind, Great Tang’s troops are many and will surely smash to the end. If the emperor retreats when the territory is lost, that’s an extraordinary shame and humiliation.”

Du Qi said solemnly: “Brother Su is too worried. This Prince has no plan to stay in Guazhou.”

Su Dingfang said with a solemn expression: “The king, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, you can just call the minister by name. Or, it is fine to directly address the minister.”

He and Du Qi do have personal relationships, but they can’t always do this. You have to keep the rule of the ruler.

Su Dingfang’s real name is Su Lie, and the characters set Fang.

Du Qi said: “Okay, listen to you.”

Su Dingfang said Great King is wise, and his mind turned: “The king’s plan is to use Guazhou City , Once again bargaining with the Great Tang emperor, so as to get benefits. In the end, the king still has to withdraw from Guazhou.”

Du Qi said: “That’s what it means. It is not necessary to seize Guazhou to humiliate the emperor. Li Shimin This person, the king understands, he wants to be Enlightened Sovereign, and to create a period of prosperity, there must be no taint. If during his time as the emperor, Guazhou, as the territory of Great Tang, was captured by me, the news is that Throughout the Great Tang, Li Shimin will not be able to lift his head for the rest of his life without taking it back, and dare not call it Enlightened Sovereign for the rest of his life.”

paused, Du Qi said: “So this king knows very well. Wait for Li Shimin Arrived, competed with Li Shimin, and finally sat down for peace talks. Dingfang, what do you think of this?”

Su Dingfang completely admires him in his heart.

Du Qi’s plan is too old.

Du Qi is indeed young. Today, he is only in his early twenties. But Du Qi has never coveted the gains and losses of one city or place, and there has never been any arrogant and overbearing. Du Qi was also arrogant, and led his army into the territory of Great Tang. The problem is that Du Qi did it deliberately to make a profit.

Fu Junheng said resolutely: “Xiawang, since you are leaving Guazhou City. This Guazhou City is an important town in the western border and a commercial distribution center. It has a lot of wealth and food. Nowadays, there is a mountain of grain piled up in the granary. Taking advantage of the Great Tang’s army, they have not yet arrived, and now the minister suggests that they should hurry up to move the grain. Move all the grain and money away. In this way, even if you retreat, it will be a profit. “

Du Qi asked: “How much grain do you have?”

Fu Junheng said resolutely: “At least two million stones of grain.”

Du Qi thought for a while and said: “Two million shi of grain is indeed quite a lot. But now the news from Guazhou City has spread to Cháng’ān. When the emperor raises troops to Guazhou, let’s talk less. It will take a month or even longer.”

“My soldiers, one hundred thousand people.”

“There are tens of thousands of captives to be reorganized. There are more people in the army. At the moment, the consumption of each day is extremely huge. Especially some time ago, the soldiers were lying in ambush on the border, and the soldiers ate dry food. Now they are supplemented with enough food and meat.”

” Under this premise, the consumption is even greater.”

Du Qi said: “Therefore, in a short period of time, the food does not have to be transported. You can eat it first.”

For food, Du Qi Although it is important, it is best to have food at the moment. The soldiers under his command can let go and eat, so there is no need to carry it, and wait for the news of Li Shimin’s dispatch of troops to consider.

Fu Junheng stopped saying more, saying: “Since King Xia has made a decision, the minister will not say much. But what about money? There is also a lot of money.”

Du Qi said solemnly: “For the issue of money, I will praise the soldiers first. Now that they have taken Guazhou City, all the soldiers have worked hard, and it should be a reward for their merits.”

Du Qi looked towards Shangguan Yi directly and said: “Shangguan Yi, you and Xue Rengui will add up. The lieutenant general’s award can be rewarded. Anyway, the money in Guazhou City should not be used for nothing. Stay in Guazhou. City, that’s cheap Li Shimin.”

“Yes!”

Shangguan Yi immediately responded.

Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan were also excited when they heard this.

They are all commanders in the army. As soldiers, they are most sympathetic to soldiers. They know more about the difficulty of soldiers. And now we are about to fight Great Tang again, so it is necessary to cheer the soldiers.

After some awards, the morale of the lieutenant soldiers will be raised to the highest level.

When it comes to soldiers, Su Dingfang said resolutely: “Xia Wang, I have a reminder. Now that the army enters the city, it is still necessary to restrain the soldiers and not let the soldiers invade the people.”

Du Qi also Without speaking, Xue Rengui took the initiative to say: “Don’t worry about this. My Xia Country officers have already made repeated orders. Even if we enter the city, we will not commit any crimes.”

Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi also spoke.

Both must speak together.

Because to them, lieutenants and soldiers are the loveliest people, impossible to make the lowest mistakes. After all, the soldiers under Du Qi’s command are treated very well, and each of them is full of energy.

Shangguan Yi said again: “Major, the minister has thought of a strategy to appease the people.”

Du Qi said: “Let’s listen!”

Shangguan Yi said resolutely: “The grain in the granary in the city, even if it is supplied to the army. In fact, there will be surplus grain. The minister’s plan is to open the warehouse to release the grain. The king opened the warehouse to release the grain, not to win over the people. It’s just to make the people not hostile to the king. Anyway, it’s good to have food as a favor. According to word of mouth, the image of the king is established on the border of Longyou Road.”

paused, Shangguan Yi continued: “Especially the Pingding of the border states on the Longyou Road itself has the credit of King Xia. Now that the King has opened the warehouse again to distribute grain, the people are even more grateful to King Ende.”

Du Qi said: “It can be arranged. “

Du Qi doesn’t care so much about food, because Xia Country now has enough money and food. Therefore, Du Qi directly agreed to the suggestion to distribute food. Du Qi discussed matters with several people, and asked Shangguan Yi, Xue Rengui and the others to discuss the military reorganization and awards, as well as the distribution of food.

As soon as everything was arranged, it was late at night.

Du Qi just rested now.
