I'm a marquis in Datang

"Suzhou among them is the place where His Majesty used to rule, and some of his powers belong to His Majesty. And Wei Shuyu, the governor of Shazhou, has some relations with His Majesty. But it is not easy to persuade Wei Shuyu."

Shangguan Yi said: "I think there is still more than a month left. What we have to do is very simple. On the one hand, we need to reorganize the army and prepare to go out to fight in Guazhou. On the other hand, arrange people to contact people in Shazhou and Suzhou to accumulate strength." , and support us when we attack."

Lai Ji took over the words: "The military strength of Shazhou is far inferior to that of Guazhou. Moreover, Shazhou mainly grows cotton to supply the commercial industry of our Xia Kingdom. So much so that over the years, the food in Shazhou has actually There are not many. If you can instigate people to destroy the granary in Shazhou, it will be a big killer move, which can have an unexpected effect."

Ma Zhou nodded and said: "Laiji's analysis is reasonable. These years, Shazhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou are actually mainly commercial. Because of the development of commerce, farming has decreased. It is a good idea to start with food. direction."

Du Qi thought about it, then said: "Since that's the case, the current arrangement for Shazhou should start with food. Laiji and Ma Zhou, you two should mobilize bad people to make arrangements."

"Yes!"

Lai Ji and Ma Zhou agreed.

It is quite easy to take charge of this matter now.

Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty, the weapons and food in our army still need to be replenished. Although there is grain hoarded by Li Shimin in Guazhou City, these grains are definitely not enough to supply the long-term war. In addition, the forced The supply on the mortars is still insufficient, and the ammunition consumption is high."

Du Qi said: "In this regard, you arrange it directly."

"Yes!"

Shangguanyi responded directly.

After Du Qi made arrangements, he also dealt with various government affairs reported by the country.

Although these things are in charge of the six departments.But Du Qi will also receive some news from here, so arrangements need to be made.After everything was properly arranged, Du Qicai asked everyone to retreat.

Now, Du Qi just needs to wait.

Wait for Su Dingfang to arrive.

Wait for the arrangement of Shazhou.

Du Qi was alone in the camp, with nothing else to do, so he began to write letters home.A letter was addressed to Li Yanyun and Qianxue, talking about trivial matters in the army and the situation of the frontline battle.The second letter was to Du Ye, asking about Du Ye's study and the latest events.The third letter was to Du Yan, asking about Du Yan's life during this time.

Now, although the two children are young, they have already read and can read and write, so Du Qicai began to write letters.He is away all year round, which is an important means of maintaining the relationship between him and his children.

After all the letters were written, Du Qi sent someone to send them away.

Chapter 1109

Lee Hyo-gong

Chang'an City, Hejian County Prince's Mansion.

Li Xiaogong was in the study, reading "Three Kingdoms" with relish, this was the pleasure of having nothing to do after reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" once.Look at the history books to see how much of it is fictional.

Today's Lee Hyo-gong lives a very leisurely and simple life.I spend the whole day at home, reading books, reading the latest newspapers, and playing chess. The days are quite leisurely.

It doesn't matter if you don't participate in government affairs.

He is still enjoying himself.

After all, Li Xiaogong is from a clan, no matter what, he is a member of the royal family, so he will not be affected.Of course, because of Du Qi, many people have alienated the Li family in the early years, and even close friends with Wang's boudoir no longer talk to Wang's.

The Prince's Mansion of Hejian County is actually despised by countless people nowadays.

Far.

It's just that after the battle between Li Shimin and Du Qi began, the situation gradually became more subtle.In particular, Li Jing was defeated on the front line, and Li Jing actually surrendered to Du Qi. After serving for Du Qi, the situation in Chang'an changed even more.

Many children of big families who had been alienated from the Wang family began to have close contact with the Wang family, hoping to increase their relationship with the Wang family.

Wang Shi was very happy, she wanted to contact these people, but Li Xiaogong prevented Wang Shi from going out.Because at this extremely sensitive time, Wang's going out is prone to accidents.In fact, someone contacted the Wang family, and more people came to visit Li Xiaogong, hoping to establish a relationship with Li Xiaogong.

But in the end, Li Xiaogong refused all of them.Because of the war between Tang Dynasty and Xia Kingdom, the situation is very delicate. After all, Li Xiaogong is Du Qi's father-in-law, and this level of identity is a bit tricky.

He is not fit to go out.

Once he is active in the officialdom, he may be targeted, and the Li family may also be affected.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong has always been behind closed doors.

While Li Xiaogong was reading, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper entered.The butler bowed and said, "Your Highness, there is the latest news from the north."

Li Xiaogong took it and quickly browsed it.When he saw the contents of the letter, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Because Li Shimin lost.

Li Shimin led an army of 30 to Guazhou to attack the Xia Kingdom, but in the end it was lost and the 30 army was almost completely wiped out.As a result, Guazhou on the border has now fallen under the control of the Xia Kingdom.

In Li Xiaogong's heart, he was thinking about the impact of Li Shimin's defeat.

Du Qi wins.

Moreover, Du Qi's victory was not a good thing for Datang.And Li Xiaogong is in the center of power, so he must be more cautious, if he is not careful, it may affect him.

Li Xiaogong waved his hand, the housekeeper turned and stepped back, he was alone

Thinking about how to deal with it.

Time passed little by little.

Li Xiaogong gradually had an idea in his heart.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

The steward entered again, he bowed and saluted, and said again: "Patriarch, there is another message to send back."

While speaking, the butler handed over the letter.

Li Xiaogong took the letter and checked it, the content of the letter was simple, it was the news that Li Shimin left Shazhou first and started to return to Chang'an.This time when Li Shimin returned, he did not bring Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others back, but Li Shimin brought back the Xuanjia Jingqi alone.

Li Xiaogong was thinking about Li Shimin's return, but he had no intention of letting Changsun Wuji and others come back.

Obviously, there is still another fight.

After Li Xiaogong confirmed Li Shimin's train of thought, he continued to deduce along this train of thought.

Du Qi's army has captured Guazhou, especially this time Xia Guo was attacked by Li Shimin, Du Qi's disposition will definitely retaliate, so the war between Xia Guo and Datang will definitely continue, and the war will not stop.

"Will it involve me?"

In Li Xiaogong's heart, carefully review.

He continued to think.
