I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi sneered, and said with emotion: "Li Daozong, you really don't want to show your face at all, and directly exposed your nature. Since you are like this, you are the real nature, why bother to talk about taking care of the people, why use the guise of benevolence and morality?" , and what are you talking about for the sake of the people?"

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "As soon as you came up, you said that no matter whether the people live or die, you must fight to the end. I admire you very much. Because you are willing to stay and stick to it when Li Shimin and others are all leaving. It’s not easy, you’re a hero. It’s a pity that you chose hypocrisy, which only adds to the laughing stock.”

Li Daozong snorted and stopped talking.

It's too bad to talk to Du Qi.

When Du Qi saw Li Daozong backing away, there was a look of seriousness in his eyes.Because Li Daozong's threat actually hindered Du Qi.Once the city of Chang'an is attacked, Li Daozong will blow up Chang'an if he can't defend it, which is a great damage.

At that time, the countless houses and dwellings in Chang'an City will definitely not be able to bear it and may collapse. Even if many people flee, there are still many people in Chang'an City. Therefore, Du Qi is also worried that the people will be killed in the bombing.

If Du Qi doesn't need to govern these places, then don't worry about it.But this time Chang'an was taken, so Chang'an is Du Qi's territory, the area under Du Qi's rule.The most important thing is that Du Qi wanted to set an exemplary battle in the battle of Chang'an.

This war cannot ignore the life and death of the people.

Xiao Yuanqi hasn't divided his troops to Shuzhong yet, his eyes are sharp

, Said directly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Li Daozong's words. Maybe Li Daozong's words are just threats. And we can't stop attacking Chang'an just because of Li Daozong's threat. Let's just choose to attack directly in this battle. Minister, willing Lead the troops to attack Chang'an City."

Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees. The minister agrees with Lao Xiao's suggestion. At this point, there is no need to be influenced by Li Daozong. Take Li Daozong and kill him."

Du Qi shook his head and said: "We have entered the Tang Dynasty, and it is indeed important to destroy the Tang Dynasty. But now in Chang'an, attacking the heart is the first priority, followed by plundering the city. Compared with seizing the city, the most important thing is to win the hearts of the people and let the people of the world know My kindness. This is the key. If it weren't for this, I would have attacked directly."

Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

Du Qidao: "How to arrange?"

Ma Zhou suggested: "Right now, Li Daozong's threat is said to be important, but it doesn't actually have much impact. In Chang'an City, there are our bad people. We just need to arrange someone to notify the bad people in the city, spread the news in the city, Inform the people of Li Daozong's plan to blow up Chang'an, and let the people know that Li Daozong is planning to blow up Chang'an."

"As soon as the news comes out, there will be an uproar."

"Let's tell the people again that we will not attack Chang'an today and tomorrow, and let the people make full preparations. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, the army will attack the city, and let the people gather at the west gate of Chang'an. They will gather here to prevent Li Daozong from arranging people when the city is destroyed." Detonating the bomb accidentally injured the people. In addition, all the people in the city, as long as the houses of the people are gone, the court will provide compensation after verification to ensure that the people can recover.”

Ma Zhou said: "Even if Li Daozong knew about our arrangement, there was no way to stop it."

"Once we attack, there will be people gathered outside the west gate. These people will definitely help us at that time, and we also have bad people who can instigate the attack. So what Li Daozong is doing now is actually our opportunity."

"Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an is just around the corner."

Ma Zhoudao: "If it weren't for Li Daozong's words, we would not be able to use the people in Chang'an city and gather the hearts of the people in Chang'an. Now Li Daozong's words are actually beneficial to us."

There was a smile on Du Qi's face, he nodded and said: "Ma Zhou's suggestion is indeed feasible. As long as the people's hearts are on our side, Li Daozong will be completely defeated. At that time, Li Daozong will have difficulty escaping."

"Just follow this plan."

Du Qi directly made a decision.

He's not indecisive, now he has a better plan

, naturally adopted immediately.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ma Zhou responded immediately.

"Withdraw!"

Du Qi directly ordered to retreat.

The army retreated and temporarily stationed outside the city.It's just that the dark army under Du Qi's command suddenly withdrew, which surprised Li Daozong. Could it be that Du Qi was really threatened and dared not attack.However, Li Daozong didn't feel much joy. Instead, he felt worried, because Du Qi withdrew directly, which was beyond Li Daozong's expectation.

Li Daozong frowned, thinking in his heart.He thought that there must be some conspiracy behind Du Qi's doing so.Li Daozong's only comfort is that he can delay the time.If he delays for one more day, he will be able to win more first-line opportunities for Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and others.

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Li Daozong's staff spoke.

Li Daozong's staff is the long history of his Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion, named Lan Changhe, a native of Chang'an County.When Li Daozong fought on the battlefield in the early years, Lan Changhe was captured by Wang Shichong's soldiers and abducted, so that he was in trouble.Thanks to Li Daozong who led people to meet him on the way and saved Lan Changhe.From then on, Lan Changhe worked for Li Daozong and worked by Li Daozong's side.

Today, it has been more than ten years.

Li Daozong originally wanted to make some arrangements for Lan Changhe, and let Lan Changhe go to the local government.However, Lan Changhe chose to refuse, and still stayed in the palace to work, and took up the post of the governor of the palace of Jiangxia County.

Li Daozong asked: "Changshi, what's the matter?"

Lan Changhe said: "Your Highness, Du Qi is withdrawing his troops now, and it is estimated that he will not attack the city today. Since Du Qi has never attacked, we can

There is a chance to withdraw.Your Highness, if you keep the green hills there, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.If you stick to Chang'an, His Highness will die here.After evacuating Chang'an, you still have a chance to deal with Du Qi to the end.Therefore, I believe that there is no need to stick to it. "

Before that, Lan Changhe had been trying to persuade him. After all, he didn't want Li Daozong to die, and he didn't want himself to die either.

Just can't bring it up.

Now, Lan Changhe took advantage of the opportunity to bring it up.After all, Du Qi's army arrived, and Xia Guo's army was so large and powerful that it was completely unstoppable, and evacuating now was the best way.

Li Daozong smiled and said: "Chang Shi, you have already wanted to mention these words. I have already said that Chang'an needs people to guard it. This king will not give up the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty."

Lan Changhe shook his head and said: "If you don't give up, I can understand

.But why must it be buried with him?Obviously you can't hold it, now you evacuate, save your vitality, and still have a chance to contribute to Datang.Staying in Chang'an City, besides throwing your life here, what else can you do?get nothing. "

Li Daozong put his hand on the city wall, and said slowly: "Changshi, in life, a man can do something and not do something. And as a clan member of the Tang Dynasty, on this occasion, I don't want to dedicate myself too much." , who is willing to dedicate their lives to the country? In my Tang Dynasty, if the clan members retreat after hearing the news, then who is willing to stick to it?"

Speaking of this, Li Daozong said loudly: "So this king must stick to it to the end."

Lan Changhe let out a sigh.

Li Daozong insisted on staying to die, and he had no way to dissuade him.Lan Changhe has followed Li Daozong for more than ten years, knowing Li Daozong's nature, Li Daozong

What Daozong has decided cannot be changed.

Li Daozong suddenly turned sideways, looked at Lan Changhe, narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in those eyes, and said quietly: "Changshi, you have always been in charge of the money in the palace of Hejian County. Now in the palace, what should I do?" Those who have been dismissed have already been dismissed. There are a lot of treasures and treasures left, take them and leave, you don’t need to be involved in this incident.”

Lan Changhe was extremely nervous, and even felt that he was being targeted by some scourge, so he quickly shook his head and said, "No, stay with the humble post, and fight His Highness to the end."

Li Daozong said: "You don't have to stay."

Lan Changhe said solemnly: "The lord humiliates the subject to death, and the lord worries about the humiliation of the minister. As a humble lord, your highness should follow your highness. What's more, it's just a death. Lowly, I swear to follow your highness to the death."

"Ugh…"

Li Daozong sighed.

He said no more, and returned to the room above the tower to rest with his hands behind his back.Now that Du Qi is retreating, he just needs to wait on the tower for Du Qi to attack.
