I'm a marquis in Datang

Unification is imminent

Li Shimin led the army to the south to evacuate. Although the evacuation was fast, the news could not be hidden. Li Shimin's whereabouts were continuously sent back to Jiangdu.Although Du Qi knew that Li Shimin was evacuating in the direction of Lingnan, he didn't care about it for the time being.

For Du Qi, the current overall situation is still to sweep the territory of the Tang Dynasty and bring all regions under the rule. This is the fundamental.As long as all the places are controlled by Du Qi, Li Shimin will have no chance to take advantage of it.

Then, Du Qi narrowed down the scope a little bit.

Go south gradually.

In the end, Li Shimin must be wiped out.

If Li Shimin led the army to retreat northward, to Liaodong, and to Goguryeo, Du Qi might chase after him and completely destroy Li Shimin.Because after Li Shimin arrived in these places, it is very likely that the spring breeze will regenerate and form combat effectiveness again.After all, in places like Goguryeo, being able to organize troops can form combat effectiveness.

In Lingnan, it is different.

In the area of ​​Lingnan, the miasma is very heavy in summer.Especially in the mountains, it is very hot and humid.Under such a premise, it is not a good choice for Li Shimin to go south to Lingnan.

This matter was left to Du Qi, and Du Qi even hoped that Li Shimin would develop well and open up Lingnan in advance.

Because there are many barren lands in Lingnan.

These places are difficult to develop.

Li Shimin went to develop it, and Du Qi directly wiped it out, and he could pick the peaches in Li Shimin's hands.

Du Qi just let the bad guys keep an eye on Li Shimin's whereabouts, and left Li Shimin alone for the time being.What he is doing now is still sitting in Jiangdu and constantly solving Jiangdu's problems.In addition, the various armies under Xue Rengui's command continued to conquer and pacify various places.

Du Qi is here, constantly adjusting the policies of various places.Especially the adjustments involving officials are more frequent, because many officials have served in the local area, and over time, it is easy to form the result of the local emperor.

In order to solve this problem, the best arrangement is to continuously transfer officials to each other, so that the subordinates in various places will also be

With changes, the power of the Tu Emperor weakened.

For such an arrangement, even local officials have some ideas.But in the end, he could only obey unconditionally. After all, at the moment, Du Qi had already grasped the general situation, and the local officials did not dare to contend with Du Qi.

With Du Qi's adjustments to the place, and Xue Rengui's continuous conquest of various places, time gradually passed, and it entered December in a blink of an eye, and the weather became colder and colder.However, in the Jiangnan area in December, there is no snow, only cold wind and rain. If you wear a little thicker clothes, you don't feel so cold.

It's snowing in the Northland in December.For a person like Du Qi who is used to the weather in the North, he feels that the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is more comfortable, because he doesn't feel cold if he wears a little thicker clothes.

Du Qi was even more clear.

Today's Lingnan land is the warmest.

In hot summer, Lingnan is prone to miasma breeding, after all, the weather is too hot.Now in December, the weather is the most comfortable, and it doesn't feel so cold.

Du Qi hasn't gone south for the time being, because in more than two months, although the various places have been gradually seized, and even most of them have been attached, in fact, there is still a slight lack. According to Du Qi's current estimation, it is estimated that there will be more than one more In two months, around the beginning of spring in the next year, it is estimated that all places will be completely captured.

Du Qi was not in a hurry about this, as no news from the north had come yet.

On this day, Du Qi was resting in the army.

Shangguanyi is here.

With a bright smile on Shangguanyi's face, he bowed to Du Qiyi and said, "Good news, Your Majesty."

Du Qi said, "What good news?"

Shangguanyi said: "There is news from the Central Shu side that Xiao Yuanqi has completely pacified the Central Shu, and the entire Bashu area has surrendered to the Xia Kingdom. The only place that has not been resolved right now is some villages in the Bashu area. These Bo people, In the cottage where the barbarians live, many people have never recognized the outside world and have no contact with the Han people."

After a pause, Shangguanyi said: "So whether it is Datang, or

Or our Xia Kingdom, in fact, they are all the same, they are unwilling to surrender, unwilling to contact.So right now, he can only do this for Shuzhong, and it is impossible to do more. "

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "For foreigners in Central Shu, don't worry, take your time. It is enough for Central Shu to do this, and we will deal with it slowly later."

Shangguanyi said: "Xiao Yuanqi has received news that he has requested to come to Jiangdu to join us."

Du Qidao: "Let Xiao Yuanqi leave some troops in the middle of Shu to ensure the stability of Jiannan Road, Shannan East Road, and other places in Shuzhong. Then he can lead a part of the troops and go to Jiangnan Road."

Shangguanyi said: "I will arrange it later."

Immediately, Shangguanyi said again: "Your Majesty, there are two more pieces of news right now."

Du Qidao: "What's the news?"

Shangguanyi said: "The first piece of news is about Ma Yuan in Youzhou. Now that Ma Yuan is marching in, he is pressing harder and harder, driving Li Ke to the brink of death.

territory.Even though it is freezing cold in the north right now, the situation in the north can be completely ended in one or two months at most.The war in Youzhou is about to end, and the situation in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty will be completely over. "

Du Qi said: "That's good."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "The second news, is it about Li Tai?"

Shangguanyi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed about Li Tai. Now that Su Dingfang has sent troops to attack Li Tai, he has indeed pushed Li Tai to the brink of desperation. Li Tai has now withdrawn from Bingzhou and retreated to the northern grassland. Li Tai's situation has changed. It is getting more and more difficult. It is estimated that the situation in Su Ding is similar to that of Ma Yuan. By the beginning of spring next year, the world will almost be pacified."

Du Qidao: "This is the best."

Regarding the situation in the world, Du Qi naturally hopes to unify as soon as possible.The world is constantly fighting, and the people will suffer. Now that the world is united, Du Qi has stabilized the domestic situation, so he can focus on domestic development, let the people live a good life, and let the people no longer be affected by the flames of war.

Du Qi thought for a while, and said: "At present, we have never gone south to Lingnan.

, but the news of Lingnan, as well as the topography of Lingnan, must be inquired clearly.We are temporarily hindered by the situation and need to stabilize the rear, so we will not send troops for the time being.Not sending troops doesn't mean not taking action.All bad people must act quickly. "

Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the minister has already made arrangements for the bad people. In short, all the information will be properly collected when the army sets off to the south."

Du Qi nodded and said, "That's good."

Shangguanyi said the rest of the things, reported all the things, and then resigned and left to arrange various things.After all, although it is said that no troops have been sent, in fact there are many government affairs.

Chapter 1319 Plan Changes

plan change

Time passed and it entered January.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually lost the coldness of the past. Occasionally, the sun shines and the weather is very warm.Compared with the weather in the south of the Yangtze River, the climate in the north today is bitter and cold, and even snow falls in many high-altitude areas.

Fortunately, Xia Guo's soldiers are all wearing military coats.Every military overcoat is well-made, and the cotton is the finest cotton. This is an extremely thick cotton coat. In addition, the soldiers also wear hats on their heads, protect their ears properly, and wear gloves on their hands, so even if the cold wind blows Snow doesn't have much of an impact either.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the army has not diminished in the slightest.

Youzhou in the north, Jixian County.

This place was once occupied by Li Ke. Ma Yuan led his troops northward, attacking the city and plundering land all the way. In a short period of time, he reached Ji County, and then attacked violently.Under Ma Yuan's powerful firepower attack, and in Ji County, there were businessmen and officials contacting Ma Yuan, so Ma Yuan finally broke through Ji County.

Li Ke's side left Ji County, withdrew from Youzhou, retreated directly to the north, and retreated to Yuyang County to occupy themselves.Li Ke's plan is to use Yuyang County's offensive to resist.However, Ma Yuan and Laiji temporarily stationed in Jixian County because they had planned long ago, and never went directly to Yuyang County.

In the city of Ji County, in the barracks.
