I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In July, the weather is still quite hot, but it is much better than June. Especially at night, when there is a cool breeze, it will not feel like being in a steamer at night.

Especially in late July, the heat has subsided.

The city of Guazhou has now been thoroughly controlled by Du Qi, but although Du Qi occupies the city of Guazhou, he did not send troops to attack the rest of Guazhou. Du Qi won Guazhou, on the one hand to beat Li Shimin, on the other hand to fight for more benefits for Xia Country. As for other things, Du Qi has no ideas.

Now that he has won the Western Regions states, he seems to be quite strong. But if Du Qi really wants to go to war with Great Tang, he doesn’t have this strength for the time being. In terms of background, he is far worse than Great Tang.

While Du Qi waited quietly, Gaochang sent a letter.

It is a letter from Du Ruhui.

The content of Du Ruhui’s letter is very simple, urging Du Qi not to conflict with Great Tang. Du Ruhui’s starting point is not to say how he is, nor does Du Ruhui have any feelings for Great Tang. He just talks about facts, saying that today’s Xia Country has just begun and its foundation is unstable, and that Western Regions are a corner of land. Certain strength, but compared to Great Tang, strength is still slightly insufficient.

Du Ruhui persuaded Du Qi to accept it as soon as it was good. As for the rest, Du Ruhui didn’t say much.

Du Qi didn’t care much after reading the letter. He knew what Du Ruhui thought. Du Ruhui used to be Li Shimin’s minister, not only the relationship between monarch and minister, but also the friendship for more than ten years. Moreover, Great Tang is the root of Du Ruhui after all, so in conflict with Great Tang, Du Ruhui’s heart is still a bit emotional.

Du Qi immediately responded with a letter.

The content of the letter is also simple, that is, Du Qi will not occupy Guazhou and will eventually return to Xia Country.

That’s enough!

After Du Qi arranged for someone to send the message, he arranged for someone to call Shangguan Yi and talked about Du Ruhui’s delivery of the letter, and said: “Mr. Shangguan, my father sent someone to deliver the letter. According to me It’s not that I’ll take the initiative to persuade me to stop the soldiers and persuade me not to take the initiative to fight. In Gaochang, Xia Country, there must be Great Tang spies. With the help of the current war with Great Tang, there must be an intention to contact my father. These are Great Tang. You arrange to inform Liu Zhengxi so that he will stare at these people one after another and put them under surveillance.”

Shangguan Yi said: “My lord, don’t you just cut off these Great Tang’s eyeliners? “

“No need!”

Du Qi shook his head and said: “After cutting off this batch of eyeliners, there will be others. Instead, it is better to stare at these people , Into our control.”

Shangguan Yi thought for a while: “Great King is wise.”

Du Qi said: “My father has passed the book, I guess Great Tang’s army will arrive in Guazhou soon. A few days ago, we got news of Great Tang’s dispatch of troops. Now we think it should be coming soon. For the city defense, arrangements are made.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Everything is arranged properly.”

Du Qi said: “That’s good.”

“Report!”

At this moment, Guan Zhilan enter. He came to Du Qi’s side and reported: “Majesty, there is the latest news sent back about the Tang Army team.”

Du Qi took the letter and opened it for review. After reading it, he laughed and said, “It’s really Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive. The latest news is that Tang Army is less than 20 miles away from Guazhou City. Li Shimin will arrive in the county by the afternoon of the application. Unexpectedly the content of this news, Li Shimin leader personally bringing troops into battle is that’s all. Retired Emperor Li Yuan is here.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Major, Li Yuan is here. Could it be that I am preparing to see you. After all, in the early years, the relationship between the king and Li Yuan was quite harmonious, and he treated you like a younger generation.”

The relationship between Du Qi and Li Yuan, Shangguan Yi and the others Know.

Du Qi thought for a while: “Li Yuan may have come to see me, but what is going on is still unclear at the moment. Take one step at a time, and finally you will know the intention of the other party. Now, The Tang Army is approaching, but I am looking forward to this battle. The last time I saw Li Shimin, our strength was not as strong. When I saw Li Shimin this time, it was stronger.”

Shangguan Yi said: “The king is wise and wise, wise and martial, and he works hard to govern. My Xia Country is developing rapidly.”

Du Qi stood up and said: “Go, go to the gate tower and turn around to see the situation of the city defense. “

“Yes!”

Shangguan Yi immediately responded.

The two of them left the room, went up to the gate tower, and patrolled around on the gate tower, and in a blink of an eye they were close to Shen Shi. At this time, another sentry came back to convey news that Tang Army was about to arrive outside the East City.

Du Qi arrived in Dongcheng, waiting quietly.

Not long after, Great Tang’s army appeared outside the city. The Tang Army of grandiose, the black and crushed piece gives people great pressure, and the emergence of such an army immediately formed great pressure.

Du Qi looked very relaxed after seeing it.

There is nothing to fear.

All this was already in his expectation.

Du Qi waited quietly. It was not long. Tang Army was already in line. The horses neighing neighed, and the big bows flew up in the air, one by one, the soldiers held their heads high. Military capacity is at its peak. Li Shimin is wearing armor and is already on the way. He looked up at the head of Guazhou City and shouted: “Where is Du Qi?”

Du Qi said: “This king is here.”

paused, Du Qi said: “His Majesty came from Cháng’ān trekking through the mountains and rivers. Wouldn’t it be necessary to impatiently attack this Guazhou city without resting the army? It’s just that your army under your command is quite exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight. !”

Li Shimin said: “My Great Tang officer, Zheng Zhengerlang, are all masters of a hundred battles. This is not worth mentioning. Du Qi, I want to see Su Dingfang and let him come out to answer.”

After hearing this, Du Qi looked towards Su Dingfang and asked Su Dingfang for his opinion. Tang Army is here, and Su Dingfang is also participating in the war on the gate tower. He has now worked for Du Qi, and his family members have been sent to Guazhou City. After Su Dingfang met his relatives, his family once again went to settle in Gaochang City.

Before, Du Qi asked Su Dingfang whether he would participate in this battle. In Du Qi’s plan, he did not want Su Dingfang to come forward, because Su Dingfang would be embarrassed.

It’s just that Su Dingfang said that since he submits, he has nothing to fear.

Su Dingfang breathes deeply, stepped forward and put his hands on the city wall, looked towards Li Shimin outside the city, and said with a breath: “Su Dingfang, I have seen Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Tang.”

p>

Li Shimin’s cheeks are twitched, with an angry look in his eyes, he is almost gnashing one’s teeth said: “Su Dingfang, I have appointed Guazhou Provincial Governor, did you treat you badly?”

” !”

Su Dingfang answered directly.

Li Shimin continued: “You Su Dingfang is a general in the army. It stands to reason that you can only stay in the army and guard one side. It is almost impossible. But I, I entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Even if you are old Not big, but it also puts you in a high position. Before the war in Guazhou, you Su Dingfang did not handle things well, and I never dealt with you. You now betray Great Tang and me. Su Dingfang, you disappoint me too much.”

This is a special mockery.

At this point, Li Shimin knew that it was impossible to let Su Dingfang return to Great Tang. As long as you are a wise person, you know that you can no longer shake your mind after surrendering. At this time, if you have other ideas, it is a fool. A wise general like Su Dingfang is even more impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
