I'm a marquis in Datang

Liu Qiong hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Liu Qiong's mind was spinning rapidly, because he didn't expect that the fetish he prepared was a kind of fruit.Liu Qiong was unwilling to miss the opportunity like this. Even though Du Qi said that he would be able to govern Shaozhou in the future and even have a better future if he did a good job, Liu Qiong was not happy with this situation. He hoped to get more.

At least, it can help Du Qi further.

Suddenly something came to Liu Qiong's mind, and he said, "Your Majesty, I also think of two things, maybe these two things can help Your Majesty attack Li Shimin."

Du Qidao: "What is it?"

Liu Qiong reported: "Returning to Your Majesty, the first thing is that Li Shimin has issued orders for all the counties in Shaozhou, ordering the people in each county not to resist, to submit directly to His Majesty, and then to cause trouble for His Majesty, and even to attack His Majesty secretly." the food road."

Du Qi said, "What about the second thing?"

This news from Liu Qiong is somewhat useful. After all, knowing this premise, Du Qi can then make arrangements and ensure that he will not be deceived by the counties.Liu Qiong's willingness to tell the news means that Liu Qiong really surrendered.

Liu Qiong continued: "Your Majesty, the second thing is that I know the magistrate of Qujiang County. The current magistrate of Qujiang County was accepted by Li Shimin. I am willing to go to Qujiang County and persuade Zhu Yuwen, the magistrate of Qujiang County, to submit. It made it easy for His Majesty to surround Li Shimin, making it impossible for Li Shimin to escape from Yushan. Zhu Yuwen, the magistrate of Qujiang County, must have known about Li Shimin's many arrangements.

settings and messages. "

There was a bright light in Du Qi's eyes.

A look of approval.

If Liu Qiong can persuade the county magistrate of Qujiang County to surrender, that would be a good thing.

Du Qilue thought about it, and said: "If you can persuade Qujiang county magistrate to surrender, and block Li Shimin's many retreats, and block Li Shimin's methods, I will allow you to serve as the governor of Shaozhou."

Liu Qiong became excited immediately.

Here's your chance!

Liu Qiong said excitedly: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust and will definitely persuade Qujiang county magistrate to surrender."

Du Qi said: "I will wait and see."

Liu Qiong stood up excitedly at this moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I have to go ahead and make arrangements. I will definitely persuade Qujiang County Magistrate Zhu Yuwen to submit when His Majesty's army arrives in Qujiang County."

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Liu Qiong got up and left.

Shangguanyi looked at Liu Qiong's leaving back and said, "Congratulations!

Your Majesty, Liu Qiong took the initiative to invite Ying to go south, and it would be more helpful for us to destroy Li Shimin. "

Du Qi smiled and said: "Although that is the case, there is no need to pin all your hopes on Liu Qiong. In short, it is the best for Liu Qiong to complete the entrustment. It doesn't matter if he can't complete the entrustment. It will have no effect on us."

Shangguanyi nodded, Du Qi's words made sense.

Du Qi chatted with Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou, Xiao Yuanqi and the others, talking, eating and drinking, looking quite relaxed.Because the general trend of the Xia Kingdom is now established, even if Du Qi never took the initiative to attack, as long as Du Qi goes south, all places will naturally submit.

Chapter 1338

brothers together

Liu Qiong returned to the county seat, made some quick arrangements, and then left the county seat with Pu Changzhi, and rode southward on horseback, heading straight to Qujiang County in the south.Today's Liu Qiong wants to make contributions so that he can complete the task with all his heart.Because once he made meritorious service, he could then be promoted and further become the governor of Shaozhou.

This is a great opportunity.

The reason why Liu Qiong knew Zhu Yuwen, the magistrate of Qujiang County, was that although he and Zhu Yuwen were a few years apart in age, and even Zhu Yuwen was slightly older than him, they were brothers of the same school and studied under the same teacher.

Although Liu Qiong is young, he is the first to start, and he is a senior brother.He and Zhu Yuwen also exchange letters on weekdays.That's why Liu Qiong dared to go to persuade Zhu Yuwen.

Liu Qiong traveled non-stop all the way, until the evening, the two found a village to rest and rested temporarily in the village.The two lived together at night, but although Liu Qiong was quite tired, he didn't feel much sleepiness.

He was still quite excited inside.

Liu Qiong looked at Pu Changzhi on the side, and said, "Mr. Pu, we are at most half a day away from Qujiang County. We will arrive in Qujiang County before tomorrow afternoon. If it succeeds this time, I will sign Mr. Pi is the long history of my governor's mansion."

Pu Changzhi said: "Thank you county lord."

He was very happy in his heart, and there was a bright smile on his face.Before that, he was just Liu Qiong's staff member. Once he became the long history of the state capital, he would be the number two person in the state.At that time, although he can be regarded as an aide, as the chief historian of a state, he was also appointed by the court.

Since then, the carp has jumped over the dragon's gate.

Liu Qiong said: "When you arrive in Qujiang County, you will be responsible for contacting my Liu family in Qujiang County. Then, I will go to see Zhu Yuwen. At that time, we will work together and make progress at the same time."

Pu Changzhi nodded and agreed.

The two chatted about the arrangements for arriving in Qujiang County, arranged things clearly, and went to rest separately.

The next morning, very early in the morning.

Liu Qiong took Pu Changzhi to the south again, heading for Qujiang County.This way going south, they were still rushing all the way. Although the weather was still quite hot, Liu Qiong didn't mind at all, and arrived in Qujiang County just after noon.

Entering the city, Liu Qiong went directly to the Liu family's stronghold in the city.After washing up and changing clothes, Liu Qiong asked Pu Changzhi to contact Liu

People whose family is in Qujiang County, and he is temporarily waiting at the mansion.

Because I was worried about eyeliner, I didn't go to see Zhu Yuwen for the time being.When it was completely dark and night fell, Liu Qiong got up and left the mansion, and came to the county government office and knocked on the door to ask for an audience.He reported his name, and after the concierge went to report, he would come to lead Liu Qiong into the mansion in a short time.

Liu Qiong met Zhu Yuwen in the study.

Zhu Yuwen was in his forties, but he looked quite old.His temples had turned gray early on, and his face was even more weathered.Seeing Liu Qiong, Zhu Yuwen said in a deep voice, "Brother, why did you come to Qujiang from Zhenchang County? I heard that Zhenchang County was attacked by Du Qi, and it is very likely that it has fallen. Now you have come south to Qujiang , Could it be that Zhenchang County has really fallen?"

Liu Qiong sat down and said: "Brother, the reason why I came to Qujiang County was not because of the fall of Zhenchang County, but because of something.

The one who fell was the one who surrendered to Xia Kingdom under my leadership.I am now serving Xia Guo.I went south to Qujiang County to persuade you to surrender, and I hope you can submit to Xia Guo. "

Zhu Yuwen raised his brows and said, "Brother, Your Majesty once sent us a letter saying that once Xia Guo's army came, we could follow the trend and surrender, but it was a false surrender. Now your posture clearly shows that you have truly surrendered to Du Qi. In such a situation Your Majesty, you have betrayed His Majesty and Great Tang."

Liu Qiong smiled lightly and said easily: "Brother Zhu, I did betray Datang and Li Shimin. But tell me, does Li Shimin have any kindness to support us? Is there any kindness to know you? On the contrary As soon as he arrived in Shaozhou, he set up difficult problems for us everywhere. What's more, when you talk about the comparison between Xia Guo and Datang, can't you tell the difference?"

Zhu Yuwen fell silent immediately after hearing the words.

The current situation is indeed quite unfavorable.

The kingdom of Xia came in a menacing manner, with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.Today's Li Shimin has fallen into peace, and even everything in the Tang Dynasty has fallen into a desperate situation and has fallen into the most difficult situation.

Is it possible to resist Xia Guo?

It is estimated that it is impossible.

Before this, Datang had made an arrangement to stop them along the way, and even destroy bridges and the like.But from the beginning to the end, this did not have any effect at all, and it was completely unable to stop Xia Guo's offensive.

On the contrary, Xia Guo was still invincible.

Seeing that Zhu Yuwen was silent, Liu Qiong continued in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Zhu, let me say something from the bottom of my heart. Putting aside our future in the officialdom, both of you and I have countless concerns. My Liu family is here. Chang County
