I’m Marquis in Great Tang

When Zhangsun Wuji was silent, Li Shimin looked towards Li Jing on the side and said, “Duke of Wei, our forces on the other side are defeated. Under the current situation, do you think What should we do?”

Li Jing sighed: “His Majesty, Duan Zhixuan was defeated, not to mention how to deal with Duan Zhixuan’s affairs. At the moment, we are going to defeat Du with more than 100,000 troops in our hands. Qi is already impossible. The plan for this battle is misguided. But at the moment we can withdraw our troops back to Guazhou City even though the situation is unfavorable. With the help of city, Du Qi is impossible to break the city.”

Li Shimin His face suddenly collapsed.

He is the emperor of Great Tang.

Can you retreat?

Even in the most difficult times, Li Shimin never looked like this. Li Shimin looked around the other generals and said solemnly: “What are your strategies to break the current deadlock.”

Everyone shook their heads.

All expressed embarrassment.

Du Qi is not a barbarian on the grassland, nor a person who is not strategizing. To deal with Turkic people, it can be divided and changed, and other methods can be adopted, but such methods will not come in handy if placed on Du Qi. Furthermore, Du Qi may beating somebody at their own game. At this moment, Li Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: “Emperor, what do you think?”

Li Shimin said: “Father Emperor, what else can I think. I am I want to win and defeat Du Qi’s army.”

“Impossible.”

Li Yuan shook his head: “Duan Zhixuan is defeated, and Tang Army is at a disadvantage again. If you With this unrealistic idea, this battle can only be retreated to Guazhou City to garrison in accordance with Li Jing’s words. Because of the head-on confrontation, we have no advantage. Du Qi is now entrenched in Niulan Mountain, and we are again It’s even more difficult to overcome.”

Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan’s words, it was very uncomfortable. Does Li Yuan know how to march? He must know some. But Li Yuan himself rarely went to the battlefield. Even after Great Tang was founded, Li Yuan almost never went to the battlefield.

Now Li Yuan points to him, making Li Shimin’s heart a bit embarrassing.

Li Shimin said: “What is the idea of ​​Father Emperor?”

Li Yuan said: “Since you can’t solve the matter at hand, I will go to see Du Qi. I will let Du Qi. Retreat and exit Guazhou to preserve the face of Great Tang. As long as Du Qi retreats, although the battle will be damaged, at least the national body will not be affected.”

Li Shimin fell silent.

Let Li Yuan come forward.

Needless to say, Li Yuan must be moved with emotion to persuade Du Qi to retreat. Even if such a thing can be done, Li Shimin is still unwilling in his heart because of shame.

The emperor’s face he couldn’t hold back.

Li Yuan continued: “The emperor, Dang Duan keeps fighting against its chaos. Now that Du Qi’s army is surrounded by the situation, I will ask you a word, once Du Qi hangs Duan Zhixuan out, then Take out the tens of thousands of prisoners and threaten you, what do you do?”

Li Shimin was dumb.

This is the trickiest part, because Duan Zhixuan was defeated and Tang Army had hostages in Du Qi’s hands.

Li Shimin has no confidence to go to war.

Li Yuan continued: “Just like outside the city of Guazhou, Du Qi pulls Hou Junji out to let you decide and decide the life and death of Hou Junji. In the end, you abandon Hou Junji to the point of Hou Junji Killed. Now, do you want to abandon Duan Zhixuan again?”

Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan’s words, and the only fighting thoughts left in his heart were also worn away at this moment, and there was no more battle. The fighting spirit said: “Thanks to Father Emperor.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was actually relaxed.

Now the situation is very unfavorable. If you continue to fight, it may not be beneficial to Great Tang. Even if the big Tang Army team loses again, I am afraid that Guazhou will really be lost. After all, now that Du Qi is evacuated from Guazhou, Tang Army can take control of Guazhou to ensure that Guazhou is in its hands and the territory of Great Tang can be intact.

Li Yuan stood up and flicked his sleeves and said: “Wait, you guys, I will go up the mountain to see Du Qi.”

After speaking, Li Yuan walked out.

Li Yuan this time came with the army, actually considering that once Li Shimin fell into an unfavorable situation, he, the Retired Emperor, would come forward and let Du Qi have some love between himself and Du Qi. Withdraw troops to ensure the integrity of the territory.

Great Tang, you must never lose your territory.

Once you lose your territory, you will lose your power and humiliate your country, which will have a great impact on Great Tang today.

Li Yuan walked down the hillside, he walked up the hillside without rush. When it was halfway up the mountain, the accompanying guards yelled his deceased Li Yuan to see King Xia Du Qi. After the voice reached the mountain, Du Qi heard it and was a little surprised Li Yuan actually came to the front.

The relationship between Du Qi and Li Yuan is actually a bit complicated. Li Yuan treats Du Qi as a junior. But Du Qi finally assisted Li Shimin in launching a coup and drove Li Yuan from the throne.

Even so, Li Yuan never complained about Du Qi, and still cared about the development of Du Qi. Even when Du Qi was in the Western Regions, Li Yuan also sent people a message, which shows Li Yuan’s concern for Du Qi .

This has surpassed the relationship between monarch and minister, it is the relationship between relatives.

Du Qi immediately arranged someone to ask Li Yuan to come up the mountain.

Not long after, Li Yuan arrived.

Du Qi drank away the people around him, specially prepared a canopy to cover the sun, and prepared drinks before sitting opposite Li Yuan. Du Qi opened the mouth and said: “It’s a great opportunity to see the Retired Emperor again. I hope that after ten or twenty years, I can still see the Retired Emperor again. I offer the Retired Emperor a glass of wine.”

He picked up the bottle and drank it all in one go.

Li Yuan also picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine. He looked very free and easy and shook his head. “I am now 60 years away. This body bones are deteriorating, and I can live for a few more years. It’s not a loss anymore. Where can I live for another ten or twenty years?”

Du Qi smiled: “Retired Emperor, relax, worry less, and live for another ten or twenty years. “

Li Yuan said: “According to your auspicious words.”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan was silent again, and filled a glass of wine on his own. Later opened the mouth and said: “Du Erlang, I once thought that you will develop rapidly when you arrive in Western Regions. Even then, I also talked to you about why you came to Western Regions.”

Du Qi laughed and said: “Retired Emperor has foresight.”

Li Yuan shook his head and chuckled, “It’s just that I didn’t expect you to have such a foundation in just a few years. Even so. Yu, I didn’t even expect that you would have a day when you would be an enemy of Great Tang, blade and weapon faces one another.”

Du Qi shrugged, looking helpless, said: “Retired Emperor , This is where I am helpless! I have no intention of hurting others, but someone has to deal with me! When I was in Great Tang in the past, I thought it was pretty good to be a carefree hedonistic son of rich parents, but some people deal with it. Me. Today, when His Majesty came to the throne, I never thought about leaving, but there are always people in the Imperial Court who think I am being taken advantage of and can deal with me at will.”

paused, Du Qi said again: “There is no way. , I can only come to the Western Regions. But when I get to the Western Regions, I can’t stand someone trying to deal with me! Take the matter at this time, Hou Junji arranged for someone to sneak into Rouyuan County to assassinate me, and then the situation is like now. Step, I have been plotted against by others, it is really helpless!”

Li Yuan sighed after hearing this, because these things are really no wonder Du Qi.

Zhangsun Wuji is a scourge.

Hou Junji is also a scourge.

Even the anxiety and suspicion in the emperor’s heart is a scourge. At this point, there are actually many reasons for the bonus, so Li Yuan sighed: “After all, people are involuntarily in Rivers and Lakes. Many things are clearly known, but in the end things go against their wishes. Like the emperor, he actually understood many times, but I can’t help myself, I was pushed forward. Du Erlang, don’t blame the emperor.”
