I'm a marquis in Datang

Lost again!

Tang Jun's hope lies in the battle at the ferry.

It's a pity that we lost!

The expression on Li Shimin's face tightened immediately, and he sighed even more in his heart.Fortunately, Li Shimin had already discussed with Wei Shuyu, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling beforehand, and had already made preparations, so Li Shimin didn't panic, and directly ordered: "Withdraw the troops, we will withdraw from Jiangdu."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, there won't be a deadly battle. If it is a deadly battle, I don't know how many people will be killed.Now evacuate directly, then they can evacuate together.

Li Shimin looked around again, seeing that the officials around him were relieved.He sighed inwardly, none of the officials in the entire Tang Dynasty was willing to fight to the death.Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, and ordered: "Fang Qing, you can arrange it directly."

"Yes!"

Fang Xuanling responded immediately.

He quickly made arrangements, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged properly. Our food has been moved away first. All the supplies have been handled properly. Now we have to bring

What left was just some information documents.We can evacuate first, and then ask Xue Wanche to cut off the retreat and destroy the bridge.In short, Du Qi will not be given a chance to pursue him. "

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Withdraw."

As soon as he gave an order, he led everyone down the tower, and then began to evacuate.

The officials evacuated, naturally taking their families with them.Fortunately, the important officials were actually well prepared.So when the order to evacuate was issued, the family members of the officials also quickly evacuated together.

The entire team evacuated at an extremely fast speed.

In addition, Fang Xuanling specially arranged people along the way to notify Xue Wanche who had returned from the evacuation, and asked Xue Wanche to deploy soldiers along the way, so as to specifically block and delay the time.He also asked Xue Wanche to arrange soldiers to either destroy bridges or cut down trees to block roads when retreating, so as to prevent Xia's army from pursuing.

There are many water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, with small rivers and bridges everywhere, so after destroying the bridges, it will not be easy for Xia's army to pursue them, at least it will delay a lot of time.

In this way, Tang Jun can withdraw

After the Tang army withdrew, the army led by Xue Rengui arrived at Jiangdu City. Because there was no power in the city, Xue Rengui took the city without any effort.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui was worried about any conspiracy, so he was extremely cautious, controlling all the gates of the four sides of the city, and even searched carefully inside the city.But in the end, after checking it out, no problems were found.

Immediately afterwards, Du Qi led the army to arrive.

The army arrived in Jiangdu, and after Du Qi entered the city, Xue Rengui came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin has escaped again. I arranged for soldiers to pursue them, but because Li Shimin withdrew quickly and Xue Wanche destroyed the enemy along the way. Bridges, and blocked roads, it is impossible for our large forces to pursue."

Du Qi said with a smile: "It's okay, now that Li Shimin has lost Jiangdu, and lost troops and generals, it's nothing to worry about. The next step is to consolidate the results of the battle, completely seize the Jiangnan Road, and take down the states and places along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. In this way, Li Shimin's living space It will become smaller and smaller. After this battle, the overall situation will be settled."

For Du Qi, when Li Shimin lost Chang'an, he had already lost the overall situation.Now that Li Shimin loses Jiangdu again, the threat will weaken even more

, as Du Qi grasps the general trend, Li Shimin's situation will become more and more difficult.

Chapter 1313

bankruptcy

Xue Rengui's army led by Du Qi did not pursue Li Shimin after capturing Jiangdu City.For Du Qi, perhaps chasing Li Shimin could weaken Li Shimin's strength again, but in fact, it would be as difficult as heaven to really destroy Li Shimin.

After all, there is still a certain amount of troops by Li Shimin's side, and it is very difficult to destroy Li Shimin, so he simply started to stabilize the current situation and consolidate the foundation thoroughly so that the situation does not collapse.

After the army took Jiangdu City, Du Qi entered the imperial city and wandered around in the imperial city, while Xue Rengui's army took control of Jiangdu City.

Shangguanyi issued a notice.

Start to appease the people.

Half a day passed by in a hurry.After Du Qi wandered around in the imperial city, he never lived in the imperial city, but went to the military camp in the city and stayed in the military camp in the city.On the one hand, the imperial city is actually not that big. After all, Li Shimin had run Jiangdu for a short period of time, and his background was insufficient;

Furthermore, for safety reasons, it is most appropriate to stay in the barracks.

In the evening, after Du Qigang had dinner, when he was inspecting the camp in the army, Xue Rengui came.

Xue Rengui excitedly said: "Your Majesty, Jiangdu has now been taken. Therefore, at this moment, I think that according to Your Majesty's arrangement, we can start to seize Jiangnan Road and the counties near the river."

Du Qidao: "You can make arrangements. Tomorrow morning, you will leave [-] elite guards to guard Jiangdu. For the rest of the army, you can arrange them separately and divide them up to capture various places. The main purpose of attacking various places is to recruit surrender. If the other party does not surrender, then attack again." .”

Xue Rengui said: "I understand."

Du Qi waved his hand, and Xue Rengui turned and left to arrange.

Du Qi patrolled around, then went back to the tent to rest.He tidied up, and when he started to read, Shangguanyi hurried in and saluted Du Qi: "Your Majesty!"

Du Qidao: "What's the matter?"

Shangguanyi said: "There are many businessmen outside the camp, joining hands

I came to see you, saying that I want to see you. "

Du Qi heard it and said, "Did they say something?"

Shangguan Yi said: "It is said that it is for business, but judging from the slightly panicked looks of most of them, it seems that they are here to plead guilty. These businessmen are all people who do business in Li Tang."

Du Qi thought for a while, then ordered: "Let them in."

"Yes!"

Shangguanyi turned around and went down to notify.

Not long after, businessmen came in hand in hand, Du Qi glanced roughly, there were twelve of them.Everyone is dressed in silk and satin, and they are all big businessmen.After all, compared to the merchants in the north, there are many big merchants in Yangzhou, and even these merchants are richer than the merchants in the north.

The emergence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has connected the north and the south. Now that the north and the south are smooth, many businessmen have made a fortune here.Although the north is the political center, the development of the south gradually tends to become an economic center.

Not long after, Shangguanyi entered with a group of merchants.

A group of businessmen stood still and saluted together.

Du Qi said kindly, "Everyone, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone thanked Du Qi together, but without exception, no businessman sat down.On the contrary, it was the leader of the businessman, with a serious face, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, please punish me."

"Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

...

All the businessmen knelt down and pleaded guilty to Du Qi.

There was a smile in Du Qi's eyes, and he said with a smile: "You all come to see us hand in hand, but you all kneel down to plead guilty, what do you mean?"
