I'm a marquis in Datang

"Report!"

At this moment, another soldier entered, and the soldier reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from General Ma Yuan."

Du Qidao: "Submit it."

After the soldier handed over the letter, Du Qi opened it and browsed quickly.After Du Qi finished reading the contents of the letter, he was already smiling, and he said slowly: "It's really a good thing to come, first Xiao Yuanqi led the army to arrive

Da, and then Ma Yuan sent another letter here. "

"Ma Yuan has captured Li Ke and seized the entire Liaodong region."

"Ma Yuan said that he has arranged for people to escort Li Ke and the officials under Li Ke's command, and go south to Jiangnan Road, and hand them over to me. However, after discussing with Lai Ji, Ma Yuan decided not to go south for the time being, but to continue to garrison Liaodong .”

"Because Ma Yuan and Lai Ji's plan was to take advantage of Silla and Goguryeo when they attacked Li Ke, and take down all the Silla and Goguryeo troops that assisted Li Ke."

"Now their army is going to continue to the Liaodong Peninsula to take down the two countries of Silla and Goguryeo. On the one hand, Ma Yuan is reporting the news of taking Li Ke down. On the other hand, he is asking for instructions. They want to I want to continue to stay in Liaodong, I hope I will approve and agree."

Du Qi couldn't help but smile on his face.

Very happy.

After Shangguanyi heard it, he immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Ma Yuan took down Li Ke, Youzhou was pacified, and Liaodong was pacified. And now you can calculate

Goguryeo and Silla are naturally excellent, which is a good thing.By the time His Majesty pacifies Li Shimin, Ma Yuan may have already pacified Liaodong. "

Chapter 1329 Lower Lingnan

Lower Lingnan

Ma Zhou looked solemn, and said slowly: "It is actually not easy to deal with Liaodong. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang tried his best to conquer Goguryeo several times, but all ended in failure. In the end, it ruined the Great Sui for decades. foundation."

Shangguanyi smiled slightly and said: "Although it is difficult to attack Goguryeo and Silla, it is different today. Our situation today is different from when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo."

"First, our weapons are more powerful."

"Secondly, our generals can command independently and will not be controlled by others. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he had extremely strict control over the generals who led the troops to fight on the front line, and the generals were not allowed to make decisions without authorization. Yang Guang had to be consulted for any decision. If you come back once, you will ruin a good opportunity to fight."

"In particular, Yang Guang was extremely lenient towards Goguryeo. Once Goguryeo showed signs of asking for surrender, Yang Guang immediately ordered the front line to stop advancing and not to continue attacking Goguryeo."

"But we are different here. Ma Yuan led the army to attack Gaoju

Li and Xinluo, and His Majesty doesn't care about Ma Yuan's arrangement, let Ma Yuan do it freely, this will not hinder Ma Yuan, so there will be no major problems in this battle. "

Shangguanyi looked determined, and said loudly: "I think the Liaodong area will definitely be included in our Xia Kingdom."

Ma Zhou said: "What the chief of the pavilion said is true."

Ma Zhou is also a person who is familiar with the classics, he knows the history of the Sui Dynasty, and he also knows that there are indeed many inappropriate arrangements for Yang Guang's attack on Goguryeo.Although there are many other reasons for Yang Guang's defeat, for Ma Yuan today, Ma Yuan will definitely not be affected by all the mistakes Yang Guang made.

Du Qi flicked his sleeves and said, "Ma Yuan wants to deal with Goguryeo and Silla. That's a good thing. Shangguanyi, you write to Ma Yuan and tell them to let them do it. I support them."

"I obey my orders!"

Shangguanyi responded immediately.

At this moment, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter sent back by General Su Dingfang from Yunzhou in the north, please Your Majesty

reading. "

While talking, the soldier handed over the letter.

Du Qi took the letter, but did not open it for the time being.With a smile on his face, he looked at Shang Guanyi and Ma Zhou, and said with a smile, "It's fine if the news doesn't come, but it will all come when it comes. I guess, Su Dingfang also ended the war."

Shangguanyi said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Ma Zhou also opened his mouth to congratulate.

Du Qi didn't speak, so he lowered his head and directly opened the letter in his hand, quickly reading Su Dingfang's letter.After reading it, Du Qi laughed again, he was really in a good mood.When Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou saw this, they were also happy. Seeing Du Qi's appearance, they knew it must be good news.

Du Qi said: "Su Dingfang sent someone to convey a message that he had captured Li Tai and Li Tai's civilian and military generals alive. Not only that, after Su Dingfang and Amir planned, they instigated the Turkic Ashina Teqin and killed the Turkic Lord."

"Now Ashina Teqin leads the people to submit to Xia Guo and serve Xia Guo

force.Su Dingfang said in the letter that the next step will be to continue to weaken the Turks, and even let Ashnatqin enter the court, and eventually the Turks will be completely destroyed. "

Du Qi said: "Su Dingfang will continue to stay in Yunzhou for a while here, and cannot go south for the time being."

Shangguanyi exclaimed: "Your Majesty, whether it is General Ma or General Su, they are all amazing! Originally, their task was to deal with Li Ke and Li Tai, but now they are all going one step further. Ma Far away, Silla and Goguryeo were calculated, and Su Dingfang also took down the Turks, which is really great, so that a lot of things can be saved. At least here, His Majesty, it will be much easier."

Du Qi nodded and said, "They are really outstanding."

Du Qi is extremely satisfied with the combination of Ma Yuan and Laiji, the combination of Su Dingfang and Amir, and even the combination of Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Zhou, because they all have a high degree of tacit understanding.

At this moment, Ma Zhou sighed deeply after hearing the battle between Ma Yuan and Su Dingfang.

He thought he had done a good job in Shuzhong, and he was even the first to come to

Du Qi's side felt that he should be the best, but now that he heard the news, the little complacency in Ma Zhou's heart completely disappeared at this moment.

Ma Zhou's mentality returned to normal.

Du Qi changed the subject and said: "Now, what we have to do is to go south. Now that we get the news and go south, I don't have the slightest burden here. Now, we don't have any worries anymore."

Shangguan Yi said: "What Your Majesty said is true, and now we have nothing to worry about when we go south. Moreover, with the army led by General Xiao joining in, our strength has increased again, and it will be easy to wipe out Li Shimin."

Du Qi nodded and said: "Go down and clean up, tomorrow morning, the army will set off to go south."

Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou all responded.

Du Qi began to deal with some follow-up matters, because Li Ke was still escorting the south, and the people under Li Ke's command were also escorting the south. Du Qi had to arrange the contribution of these people in advance.Du Qi's attitude towards Li Ke is actually similar to that of Li Chengqian, he did not keep Li Chengqian

Naturally, Li Ke's life would not be spared.

Therefore, Du Qi directly issued an order, ordering people to go north immediately, notify the people escorting Li Ke, and immediately execute Li Ke, and then only need to bring Li Ke's civil and military officials to Jiangdu.

Some of these people are useful.So Du Qi can't be executed, he has to be recruited.In addition, Du Qi arranged many other things to handle all the details properly.

Everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

The weather in the middle and late February is already quite good, without the chill.Although there was a bit of coldness at night, it didn't have much impact. Du Qi wore a thin shirt and continued to work again. He carefully sorted out the things that might be involved when he went south next time, so that he knew what to expect. Just lay down and rested.

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, after Du Qi got up and washed up, he led his army and set off southward.The army left Jiangdu in a mighty way, heading south all the way to the area where Lingnan is located.According to the information inquired by the bad guys, Li Shimin has never been entrenched in the county seat, but has retreated to the mountains and forests on his own initiative.

Sitting in the mountains.

Obviously, Li Shimin wants to fight a protracted war.
