I'm a marquis in Datang

His son died.

Even his other sons may be killed by Du Qi.Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Fang Xuanling's earnest worry, he sighed and said dejectedly: "I know, I can't be impulsive right now."

Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Shimin is not impulsive, hides in Yushan peacefully, and fights guerrilla warfare with Du Qi, then Datang still has a certain chance.If Li Shimin fought against Du Qi impulsively, Fang Xuanling believed that Datang would not be able to hold on.

Wei Shuyu said at this time: "Your Majesty, according to our estimates, Du Qi is going south to Shaozhou. He will arrive in Shaozhou in half a month at most. If Du Qi is on his way at full speed, it may take less than half a month. Going south from Jiangnan Road, the road is actually quite flat and not too rough. The only thing that makes Du Qi difficult is the climate factor."

Li Shimin said: "Du Qi has already gone south, blocking Du Qi is the key. Since we are not going to fight head-on, you all talk about what we should do to defeat Du Qi now. If this battle cannot stop Du Qi's offensive, then in the end even If we don't fight head-on, we are willing to be wiped out here. Only by blocking Du Qi can we have a chance to make a comeback."

Fang Xuanling sighed inwardly, he did not speak.

Under Li Shimin's command, Fang Xuanling is eloquent, resourceful and resourceful.

The problem is the current situation, Datang is too unfavorable, all of them are at a disadvantage.Even if Fang Xuanling had a strategy in mind, the problem was that he really couldn't find any way to resist Du Qi's army in the current situation.

Xia Guo is too strong.

Not only the gap in numbers, but also the gap in people's hearts, and even the gap in weapons.

Even, there are other gaps...

When Wei Shuyu heard Li Shimin's words, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.But no matter what, it is impossible to ignore it at the moment, Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, our only advantage is that

It is to give full play to the advantages of geographical location and weather. "

Li Shimin asked: "How to give full play to our advantages?"

Wei Shuyu said slowly: "The geographical advantage is the climate and environment in the Lingnan area. In fact, Shaozhou is also mountainous, and there are deep mountains and old forests in many places. Even if the road is not rough, it is possible to pass through a place like deep mountains and old forests. In the region, it is not easy for Du Qi's army to go south, we can stop it."

"In addition, there are many rivers in the southern region, and there are many rivers everywhere, so there are many bridges. The first thing we have to do now is to destroy the bridges in these places. This will make it difficult for Du Qi to go south."

"Besides, there are some narrow roads, and soldiers are arranged to block the roads with boulders, making it impossible for Xia's army to advance in a short time. Even if Du Qi's army can open up bridges and mountain roads, at least it will delay the marching time."

Wei Shuyu said: "As long as the time is delayed, the time for Du Qi to go south will be prolonged. In this way, the weather in the south will become hotter and the climate will be different. There are many mosquitoes in Lingnan. When the weather is hot,

Du Qi's people are not used to the weather in the south, and even the soldiers will feel more uncomfortable when they are bitten by mosquitoes, which is beneficial to us. After all, we have lived in Shaozhou for such a long time, and we are already used to the current environment. Not the same. "

Li Shimin nodded.

Wei Shuyu's analysis made some sense.

Wei Shuyu continued: "The second point is what Fang Xiang mentioned just now, to arrange officials from all over the country to submit to Du Qi on the surface and not to resist. Secretly, they are setting obstacles for Du Qi and blocking Du Qi's grain road. After all These people who have surrendered to Du Qi, and then arrange people to cut off the food road, it is relatively easy to take action."

"That way, we have a chance."

"Our killer move is the climate. When the weather gets hotter, even if Du Qi has a large army, it will be difficult for Du Qi to go south to attack us. Extremely hot weather is not like severe cold weather. When the weather is cold, You can wear thicker clothes. In the hot weather, there are fewer clothes, but there are mosquitoes, and they can't stand it."

Wei Shuyu said: "This is our only chance, because

When it comes to military strength, combat effectiveness, and weapons, we can't compare with Xia's army, and we can only rely on Shaozhou's climate. "

Li Shimin had a look of approval in his eyes after listening, and said: "The suggestion mentioned by Shuyu is already the most pertinent suggestion. We are short of troops, and it is definitely impossible to confront directly. When the weather is hot, we will hide in the mountains. Du Qi It will be even more difficult to enter the mountains to destroy us. The advantage of the army will be weakened by the mountains."

Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is what I think. What we have to do is to give full play to the advantage of the geographical advantage. Only in this way can we win the final victory. The situation is indeed difficult, but in fact compared to the situation we considered before , now it is relatively easier, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no shortage of supplies. This is already much better."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "What Shuyu said is true. We are indeed much better now than before. Originally, there were only a few thousand troops, but Du Qi did not go south for the time being, which made us rest for a while, and the number of troops returned to tens of thousands. People. Although we still can't confront Du Qi head-on, at least at the moment, we are not as weak as before."

Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's words, but she didn't have much hope.It's not that he doesn't have self-confidence, it's not that he doesn't have fighting spirit, it's because he has confronted Du Qi one after another, and every failure has proved one thing, that is, Du Qi is invincible.

The destiny is in the country of Xia.

Not in Datang.

Now Fang Xuanling, even after hearing Wei Shuyu's words, did not give much hope.

Let's take a step by step.

Li Shimin didn't notice Fang Xuanling's strangeness, he still didn't give up in his heart, so he directly ordered Wei Shuyu and Fang Xuanling to go down and make arrangements to prepare for the next battle.

Chapter 1332

burn one's boats

Wei Shuyu and Fang Xuanling walked out of the room hand in hand. They walked a certain distance, but Wei Shuyu stopped.He turned to look at Fang Xuanling, and said seriously: "Uncle Fang, you didn't speak before, because you thought in your heart that Datang couldn't stop it?"

Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Shuyu, a little surprised.

Wei Shuyu actually talked to him.

And call him Uncle Fang.

Obviously, this is a private chat, otherwise Wei Shuyu wouldn't be like this.

Fang Xuanling is a cautious person, he smiled and said: "Nephew, the reason why I didn't say a word is not because I think I can't stop Xia Guo's attack, but because I have nothing to do in the face of Xia Guo's attack. If I have There are other ways not to be silent."

A word, speak watertightly.

He only said that Fang Xuanling himself had no strategy, but did not say that he couldn't stop it. This was not to leave any evidence.

Wei Shuyu smiled, he understood what Fang Xuanling meant, but Wei Shuyu didn't mind, waved his hand and said, "Uncle, let's take a step to talk."

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, then nodded.The two went straight to the room where Wei Shuyu lived and sat opposite each other.Wei Shuyu poured Fang Xuanling a cup of tea and said, "Uncle, please!"

"Please!"

Fang Xuanling picked up the teacup and took a sip.

This tea is from Xia Kingdom.

The taste is extremely pure.

It's just last year's old tea, and the taste is still a little worse than new tea.

Fang Xuanling put down the teacup, and said: "You invited the old man here alone, there must be something important. Tell me, why?"

Wei Shuyu also put down the teacup in his hand, and said calmly: "Uncle Fang thinks that we withdrew to Shaozhou, and now Guangzhou is almost in our hands. Will we be able to stop Xia's troops in the end?"

Fang Xuanling was still extremely cautious, and said: "Can you block the

It is difficult for the old man to judge Xia Guo's soldiers and horses for the time being.What the old man can do now is to do his best to obey the destiny.No matter what the end is, eating the king's salary is a matter of loyalty to the king. "

Wei Shuyu said slowly: "Uncle Fang, why bother to say such an official thing in front of my nephew. You have a sharp eye, so you must be clear about the current situation. Since Uncle Fang won't say anything for the time being, I will first Throw a brick to attract jade, and talk about my opinion."

"Today's Xia Kingdom has already occupied [-]% of the world. After all, the armies led by Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others have all been wiped out, and we are now only huddled in remote places like Shaozhou and Guangzhou. We must resist Xia Guo's strong attack is simply impossible with the current strength."

"On this occasion, although I have proposed many arrangements, it is actually just a stubborn resistance."
