    ?

    Li Shimin led an army of 40,000, with nearly 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.  This large army marched in the direction of Quzhou County in a mighty way, which was marching in the direction of Liu Heita's retreat.

    In fact, Li Shimin has not decided to go straight to Quzhou County, because the sentry from the front line to inquire about the news has not returned yet, and he does not know that Liu Heita is already stationed in Quzhou County.

    Now he can only move forward in the direction Liu Heitai retreated, hanging behind and slowly inquiring about news.

    Du Qi still followed Li Shimin, but when he went out to act, he put on the armor of Xuanjia Jingqi and a helmet on his head to cover his face so as to conceal his identity.

    Du Qi's identity cannot be revealed.

    Once Li Jiancheng knew that Du Qi had come to Li Shimin's side, with the hatred between the two sides, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng would go crazy.

    Such a situation must never happen.

    Although it is not used to being clumsy and heavy in black armor, it is also a good opportunity to exercise yourself.  At the beginning, Du Qi was not used to it, after all, he was very clumsy, but gradually, he got used to it.

    And once he took off his armor, he felt as light as a swallow.

    In fact, Du Qi can wear black clothes and a bamboo hat to hide his face.  However, this method was too eye-catching, so Du Qi did not adopt it.

    Du Qi is by Li Shimin's side, and he has already started to form a bad person system.  Because there are not too many rangers for the time being, they cannot get in touch with the three religions and nine streams, so some of them change their identities as military sentries and temporarily join the bad guys, accepting Du Qi's dispatch and arrangement.

    While the team was rushing forward, the frontline scouts who had inquired about the news had already returned.

    Sentinel came to Du Qi's side and handed over the information.

    After receiving it, Du Qi took a look, came to Li Shimin's side, and said: "Your Highness, the news about Liu Heitai has been finalized. Liu Heitai led the army to retreat and stationed in Quzhou County."

    "good!"

    There was a smile on Li Shimin's face.

    Finally found out.

    Li Shimin said: "Any other news?"

    Du Qi continued: "After Liu Heita was stationed, after our investigation, the troops around Liu Heita have been expanding their recruitment and gathering some strength during this period. Liu Heita's troops in Quzhou County should be around  Around fifty thousand."

    "On the other side, the Turkic troops have been hiding outside Quzhou County. Our sentries only saw it from a distance, and didn't dare to get too close. After all, the opponent is cavalry."

    "Once it gets too close, it is not only easy to be discovered, but also easy to be killed."

    "From a long-distance observation, the Turkic army should be around 8,000, not too far away. It's just because of the long-distance observation, who is the leader of the Turkic army is temporarily unknown."

    Du Qi said: "I don't know the real combat effectiveness of the Turkic people for the time being."

    Li Shimin said: "With this news, it is enough. However, there are 8,000 Turkic cavalry, and Liu Heitai's army is nearly 50,000. With such two forces, it is indeed not easy for us to break through Quzhou County."

    Du Qidao: "It is not easy to break Quzhou County, but there is no need to worry. What we may be facing now is the situation where Turkic people come to sneak attacks from time to time. We must pay attention to this situation, otherwise once the Turkic cavalry raids, it is easy to be killed.  Get caught off guard."

    Li Shimin said: "What Erlang said is true."

    The two talked about the general situation, because the location of Liu Heita's garrison had already been finalized.  Therefore, the army under Li Shimin's command quickly marched straight to Quzhou County.

    The army is getting closer and closer to Quzhou County.

    When entering the territory of Quzhou County, because there are Turks raging in Quzhou County, the villages of the people along the way are already empty.

    Many people fled.

    Or go into the mountains.

    This scene fell into Du Qi's eyes, and Du Qi's intention to kill the Turkic people was even worse.  These Turkic people are wreaking havoc in the land of Hebei, but Liu Heita doesn't care about it and let them wreak havoc, he really deserves to die.

    Li Shimin also had a dark face along the way.

    Because the territory of Quzhou County is really too barren.

    Arriving at noon, the army stopped to rest, but even if it was a rest, there were special soldiers patrolling and guarding.  Because after entering Quzhou County, Turkic people may kill at any time, so we must be careful.

    Du Qi and Li Shimin sat together.

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, there is no one around now, why don't you just take off your helmet. Although the weather is not too hot, it's not comfortable to wear."

    He felt sorry for Du Qi.

      After all, Du Qi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but during the day's march, he wore a helmet from the beginning to the end, so as not to be discovered.

    Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already thought of a way. When I get close to Quzhou County, I will arrange people to sneak into the county, buy some women's makeup items and eyebrow pencils, etc., and I will make up and change my appearance.  Appearance. At that time, few people will recognize me."

    Although the cosmetics of this era are much less than those of later generations, Du Qi can still use them.  It's just that when he was in Mingshui County, Du Qi never thought about it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing armor.

    Carry it all day long, and now it is about to enter May, although the weather is not very hot, but it is getting hotter day by day, so Du Qi needs to prepare early.

    Li Shimin said: "There is no need to wait, I will immediately arrange people to go to the villages along the way to inquire and collect. As long as there are rich families, these items for eyebrow painting and makeup should be available."

    Immediately, Li Shimin called someone and ordered them to go down.

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, now that you are approaching Quzhou County, are you nervous?"

    Du Qidao: "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous. After all, at the Yanmen Pass, nearly 100,000 people were killed. Now it is just a Liu Heitai, nothing more."

    Li Shimin said: "You are not bad, kid. I think it was the first time this king went to the battlefield and saw the murder scene, especially the warm blood splattered and sprinkled on his body. I was really not used to it. I just felt dizzy."

    Du Qi smiled, knowing that Li Shimin was talking about something funny in order to pass the time.

    "Report!"

    Just at this moment, another shout sounded.

    But I saw a scout running back like flying, came to Li Shimin's side, and said: "Your Highness, a large number of cavalry appeared about ten miles to the west of us. These are Turkic cavalry  , has already killed in our direction."

    "The whole army is on alert!"

    Li Shimin gave the order immediately.

    The soldiers in the army were already on guard, but now they heard Li Shimin's order, and they all started to line up instead of sitting on the ground scatteredly.

    Holding weapons one by one, forming a formation.

    The outermost ones are shield soldiers and spearmen, ensuring the formation of the army layer by layer.

    Li Xiaogong was also beside Li Shimin, he said: "Your Highness, the Turkic cavalry is coming, shall we send out the Xuanjia fine cavalry to directly fight the opponent?"

    Hearing this, Li Shimin felt a little moved.

    Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, Prince Zhao, it is inappropriate to pursue now, or even to encounter an encounter. Because such a fight will consume our troops."

    "What's more, the surrounding area is endless and flat, so it's easier for the Turkic cavalry to spread out."

    "Although we have Xuanjia fine cavalry and strong fighting power, there is no need to fight the Turks. Now our primary target is Liu Heita. As long as Liu Heita is eliminated, these Turks will not be a problem."

    "After all, it is almost impossible to exterminate these Turks."

    Du Qi said: "They come and go freely, and they can withdraw and leave at any time. So even if they use the Xuanjia fine cavalry, they must pay attention to strategy and cannot directly fight. This is the most unfavorable way for us."

    Li Shimin said: "It is indeed the same reason, but it is not indecent to come and go. In this battle, the Turks cannot be allowed to attack and fuel the arrogance of the Turks."

    Du Qidao: "Your Highness, if you don't say anything about your humble position, you won't take action. When the Turkic people come, they are naturally served by swords. But you can't attack by force, you have to count the Turkic people."

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, how do you plan to calculate?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
