I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling, and said, "Take good care of Brother Fang, don't neglect. You can handle the rest of the things as you like, and just do business."

"Yes!"

Yu Deshui responded immediately.

With Du Ruhui's words, then Yu Deshui can arrange to take over

come things.If Du Ruhui forcibly took Fang Xuanling away, Yu Deshui's follow-up arrangements would be even more troublesome.

Du Ruhui bowed to Fang Xuanling again, told Fang Xuanling not to worry, then he boarded the carriage and left.Although Du Ruhui could take Fang Xuanling away, it's not an opportunity right now.

Yu Deshui took Fang Xuanling and escorted the rest of the unscrupulous Datang people, and left straight away.Next, Yu Deshui had to spread the news quickly so that Du Qi, who was fighting on the front line, could make corresponding arrangements and adjustments.

Chapter 1220 Arriving at Chang'an

Arrived in Chang'an

Anrongguan entered the beginning of December, and the weather was even colder. It even snowed in many places. The first snow fell, and the weather was already biting cold.Such weather is extremely difficult for marching and fighting.After all, the weather is cold and it is inconvenient to travel, and the soldiers are dressed thickly, which is not conducive to movement.

Fortunately, the soldiers in Du Qi's army were all wearing the best military coats. All the military coats were made of the finest cotton, so they were extremely warm.So even though it was cold winter, it didn't have much impact on Xia's soldiers.

Du Qi now, apart from his daily patrols in the army, he rarely goes out, and spends most of his time in the camp.Right now, Du Qi's army is already mopping up Li Shimin's army in various places in Longzhou. Even though Li Shimin is still hiding, the range of Li Shimin's hiding is getting smaller and smaller, and he has been forced to the east of Longzhou.

Most of Longzhou is under Du Qi's control.

Especially now in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless people rebelling everywhere.Countless people have already established themselves as kings, and even proclaimed themselves emperors with a little military power.A county can be called king, and a small town can be called emperor. This is the situation in the Tang Dynasty. As for the border, it is even more chaotic, but Li Shimin has no time to take care of it now. He can only delay.

Although Du Qi was aware of the situation in the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't control it for the time being. Only after he entered the Tang Dynasty and wiped out Li Shimin could he wipe out the chaos in the Tang Dynasty one by one.

On this day, when Du Qizheng was reading a book, it was Shangguanyi who entered.

There was joy on Shangguanyi's face.

After he saw Du Qi, he saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, there is the latest news from the Imperial Capital City, saying that Fang Xuanling has quietly arrived in the Imperial Capital City, hoping to lobby the Supreme Emperor, please come forward to persuade His Majesty to cease fighting. After the Supreme Emperor refused When Fang Xuanling was about to leave, he was placed in the imperial capital by Datang.

Zheng Yu, a bad guy in the city, coerced him with the intention of intimidating the Supreme Emperor.In the end, they were all wiped out by Yu Deshui, and Fang Xuanling was also under our control. "

Du Qi said with a smile: "Li Shimin has lost a lot this time. You just said that Fang Xuanling was coerced by Zheng Yu. Could it be that what happened this time was not done by Fang Xuanling, but by Zheng Yu's willful action."

Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Yu asked Fang Xuanling to meet with the Supreme Emperor, hoping to directly win the Supreme Emperor. However, Fang Xuanling refused. So Zheng Yu finally chose to take Fang Xuanling to threaten the Supreme Emperor."

Du Qi said: "In this way, there is a reason to detain Fang Xuanling."

Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "In this way, Li Shimin's last chance to survive will be gone. Right now, according to the previous plan, we will continue to mop up Li Shimin. When Li Shimin is unable to gain a foothold in Longzhou and completely withdraws from Longzhou, we will occupy the entire Longzhou State. If it is cold today and it is not conducive to marching and fighting, we will

Steady and steady, nibbling away step by step. "

Shangguan Yi said: "I will pass on your Majesty's orders. Right now, General Xiao and General Xue's subordinates all have troops outside, and they are gradually encircling them. Li Shimin will have to leave Longzhou in half a month at the most. Unable to gain a foothold in Longzhou."

Du Qidao: "The most important thing to achieve this result is the will of the people. Therefore, in the next step, when dealing with the people, we should still focus on attacking the hearts of the people. We must win over the hearts of the people. The direction of the people's hearts is the general trend. As long as We have gained the momentum and the initiative, so if we attack Li Shimin, we will be invincible."

Shangguanyi nodded and said: "On this point, General Xue and General Xiao have made arrangements. All the troops who go out are not allowed to take needles from the people, and are not allowed to harass the local people. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."

Du Qi said: "It should be so."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier's report sounded outside the tent, and immediately, a soldier lifted up his robe and entered.After the soldier stood still, he saluted Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from General Xue to send it back."

While speaking, the soldier handed over the news.

Du Qi took the letter, he waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and opened the letter to read.

After reading the letter, Du Qi smiled and said: "Xue Rengui from the front sent back news that he had surrounded Xiao Yuanqi and wiped out four thousand troops under Li Shimin's command. This time, Li Shimin was almost captured, but unfortunately, Li Shimin still He escaped. But even so, this time he captured an old official under Li Shimin's command, and his name is Yu Shinan."

Shangguanyi was also overjoyed, and said solemnly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. At this time, Li Shimin's army was defeated again. Counting the troops that annihilated Li Shimin before, then the troops around Li Shimin now may not

It is less than two thousand people.It is impossible for Li Shimin to resist Youdou now. "

After a pause, Shangguanyi continued: "Li Shimin's military strength is definitely not able to stay any longer, and he can only withdraw to Chang'an. Even if he returns to Chang'an, Li Shimin's military strength is not enough. So at the moment, Li Shimin will most likely choose to withdraw from Chang'an .”

Du Qi nodded and said, "It's possible."

Shangguanyi went on to say: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin is evacuating now, so there is no force in the entire Gyeonggi Province that can resist us. Especially in Gyeonggi Province, many officials have already sent letters, expressing their willingness to surrender. In this case, We can go east step by step until we reach Chang’an. Even though it’s December and the weather is cold, for us, it’s just marching, not fighting, and it doesn’t affect us at all.”

Now that the kingdom of Xia is ruling the world, it is already the general trend, and it is impossible to stop it.

Xia Guo's army was invincible. In fact, this was a snowball. It was difficult and difficult at the beginning, but the later it became, the easier it became.Because under the general situation, any individual's power seems to be negligible, at most it can be blocked a little, and it is impossible to stop it completely.

Du Qi said: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Since the territory of Longzhou is already under our control, let's set off. Pass the order, and the army will set off for the eastern border of Longzhou. There are Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi in front of us." The army is leading the way, we just need to follow behind now."

Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty, in addition to pulling out the camp and setting off, I suggest that Fang Xuanling's affairs should also be spread. Li Shimin is now under his command. Yu Shinan was captured, and Fang Xuanling was also captured for sneaking into the Imperial Capital City. The news spread, to Li Tang It is also a great blow. Therefore, I think that after the news comes out, it will be beneficial to our actions."

Du Qi said, "Yes!"

Shangguanyi made arrangements immediately, and the camp in Anrong Pass was

Within half an hour, they broke camp and set off, heading east.When Du Qi went east, the troops of Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi continued to attack, starting from the eastern border of Longzhou and directly entering Qizhou in the east.The land of Qizhou is extremely important to the capital of Gyeonggi, and it is Chang'an's barrier to the west.

Originally, heavy soldiers were hoarded here.

It's a pity that nowadays, there are no people in Qizhou who resist Xia's army at all, and there are even leading parties, who directly submit to Xia's army and do not resist at all.So in a short period of time, Xiao Yuanqi and Xue Rengui swept Qizhou, and the army led by Du Qi also entered Qizhou, which was very close to Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

Chapter 1221 The Proposal to Move the Capital

Proposal to move the capital

Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Chang'an.

Palace Hall.

Li Shimin was sitting directly above, and below were Prince Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu, Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, Xiao Yu and other important officials of cultural relics, all gathered.It's just that the expressions on everyone's faces are extremely serious and murderous.Because Xia Guo's army had already reached the territory of Qizhou, and after Li Shimin withdrew from Longzhou, his troops were weak, so he withdrew directly and returned to Chang'an.

Li Shimin looked around the crowd and said slowly: "Qizhou has been lost, and now it's January, the coldest weather has passed. Although Du Qi's speed of taking Qizhou was a bit slow, but the victory is steady and there is no hidden danger. Especially Du Qi slowed down the speed of his troops, just because he survived the cold winter. When January passed and February began, it would be easier for Du Qi's army to march.

It can be expected that Du Qi will arrive in Chang'an in a short time. "

"Now, how do we defend against Du Qi's attack?"

After leaving Longzhou, Li Shimin's military strength was weakened, with only two to 3000 people around him.He had retreated into Qizhou before and wanted to use Qizhou's local strength to resist Du Qi again. Unfortunately, Qizhou was in chaos and there was no fighting spirit in Qizhou, so Li Shimin simply withdrew from Qizhou and returned to Chang'an.

Li Shimin is also quite nervous now.

Datang has reached a critical moment of life and death.

If Du Qi's army cannot be stopped, Chang'an, the capital of the Great Tang Emperor, will fall into Du Qi's hands, and the Great Tang will also be destroyed.
