Entering April, the daytime weather in the Western Regions has obviously become hotter.
Du Qi's army is still stationed at the border between Guazhou and Yizhou, because there is plenty of running water nearby and supplies are constantly being transported from the rear. Even if they are stationed for a long time, it still has little effect on Du Qi.
Furthermore, the four prefectures of Yizhou, Gaochang, Yanqi, and Qiuci are still stable, without any impact, and everything is developing smoothly. In particular, the land of the four states has never been invaded by war, and Du Qi's business presence has brought businessmen from various countries in the Western Regions to gather here, and the local economy has developed more rapidly.
This was in Du Qi's expectation.
The land of the Western Regions, connecting east and west, is a strategically important place. After opening up the Western Regions, the goods of the countries in the Western Regions can be sold to the Central Plains through these four states. And the goods and goods from the Central Plains can also continuously enter the Western Regions.
? Once back and forth, the economy took off.
When Du Qi is in the army now, his day-to-day schedule is very regular. In the morning, I went out for morning exercises with the army. After having breakfast, I patrolled the army, then returned to the camp and continued to extract the books in my mind, all of which were encyclopedias and the like.
In addition, there are knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Today's mathematics development actually has a relative foundation, but in terms of physical power, chemistry, and biology, there is no systematic knowledge at all, and many of them are unknown.
The existence of this knowledge is extremely critical. It is impossible for Du Qi to be proficient in all of them, it is impossible to explain them one by one, and the excerpts are handed over to the teachers in the university for study.
When the time comes, naturally, there will be development.
On this day, when Du Qi was still extracting the content of mathematics, a soldier entered the report and said, "Your Highness, Zhang Jingping asks to see you."
"please!"
Du Qi gave an order.
Then, Du Qi temporarily put down the brush and put down the high number in his hand. During this period of time, Du Qi has already extracted all the mathematics knowledge from elementary school to junior high school and high school, and began to extract the advanced mathematics of university. When it comes to these contents, even Du Qi has learned them before, but he has not used them for too many years. It has already been returned to the teacher in full, and it only serves as an excerpt.
However, this job cannot be done by others, because these are all imprinted in his mind.
Du Qi was a little surprised because Zhang Jingping came to the Western Regions.
You know, Zhang Jingping is a local snake in Chang'an.
There is also a title.
? In Chang'an, one must have strength and status, and such a person in Chang'an is the local emperor of Chang'an. However, Zhang Jingping actually gave up the power in his hands and ran to the Western Regions.
Not long after, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, and it was Zhang Jingping who entered. When Zhang Jingping saw Du Qi, his expression was very excited, he knelt down like a jade pillar pushed upside down on a golden mountain, and kowtowed: "Your Highness!"
Du Qi got up and walked in front of Zhang Jingping, helped Zhang Jingping up and said, "Da Longtou, you are offending me. Why have you come to the Western Regions? You should send someone to inform you first, so that the king can be prepared. You pick up the wind and wash away the dust!"
Zhang Jingping said: "Your Highness is too polite. Speaking of which, I can't get along in Chang'an. Therefore, I came to the Western Regions to join Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to take me in."
Du Qidao: "Da Longtou is willing to come to the Western Regions, and this king welcomes it. In the Western Regions, people also need people to control the order and guide the development of commerce. The Dalongtou is familiar with the situation in Chang'an, and he can also help me in the Western Regions."
Zhang Jingping said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
There was a smile on his face, he never said that he voluntarily gave up his foundation in Chang'an for Du Qi, only that he went to Du Qi. Because for Zhang Jingping, going to Du Qi is the most important thing.
Follow Du Qi with energy.
Changing the subject, Zhang Jingping continued: "Your Highness, when I came, the imperial court also sent troops. The emperor dispatched a full 100,000 troops, and tens of thousands of government soldiers, to Guazhou. Moreover, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others are accompanying, these people are all here, Your Highness must be careful in this battle!"
Du Qi said to himself: "Don't worry, the leader, the king already knows the news and has made sufficient preparations."
? Since capturing Hou Junji, Du Qi has been paying attention to the situation in Chang'an. As soon as Li Shimin decided to send troops, the shadow under Jin Wuque's command had already arranged for someone to send the news, so Du Qi knew about Li Shimin's actions early on.
Du Qi is happy to see Li Shimin's personal expedition.
Just right, I talked to Li Shimin.
? Du Qi asked himself, he never felt sorry for Li Shimin, but it was Li Shimin who backed down on his word and received criticism from Changsun Wuji and others.It happened that Hou Junji was arranged to deal with Du Qi, the reason was Li Shimin, not Du Qi.
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Da Longtou, the capital under my rule is temporarily set up in Gaochang City in Gaochang Prefecture. After you arrive, you will live in Gaochang City. Your task is your old business, responsible for managing the ranger Son, rectify the order of business. Without you, there will be other people in these matters. I am more at ease if you are in charge. "
"yes!"
Zhang Jingping answered directly.
It is actually relatively simple for him to engage in his old business, and he is also familiar with the way, so that he does not know everything.
Du Qidao: "Da Longtou, how many people have you brought with you from Chang'an?"
Zhang Jingping said: "Your Highness, I brought eighteen people from Chang'an, all of whom are confidantes and extremely powerful rangers. And everyone can entrust their lives. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Du Qidao: "That's good, I trust you."
Zhang Jingping said some news from Chang'an, and conveyed Du Ruhui's words, and finally had a meal with Du Qi in the barracks, and then left for Gaochang City.
Du Qize still stayed in the tent and continued to copy the content of high mathematics.
The passage of time day by day.
In the blink of an eye, it entered the end of May. At this time, Guazhou ushered in a mighty army.
Impressively, it was led by Li Shimin.
There are more than 200,000 people under Li Shimin's command.
It can be said that the momentum is huge.
The army led by Li Shimin arrived outside the city of Guazhou. Su Dingfang and Gao Shilian went to the gate of the city to greet them. At this time, Su Dingfang was in charge, and Su Dingfang brought his people forward, saluted and said: "Minister Su Dingfang, see Your Majesty."
Gao Shilian also stepped forward and said: "Minister Gao Shilian, see Your Majesty."
Wearing armor, Li Shimin sat astride his horse, with a solemn expression, and ordered: "Enter the city!"
"yes!"
Su Dingfang and Gao Shilian answered in unison.
The army was temporarily stationed outside the city, while Li Shimin led civil and military officials, entered the city with Su Dingfang and Gao Shilian, and went straight to the Governor's Mansion. Li Shimin sat on the main seat, looked at Su Dingfang, and asked: "Su Qing, tell me, what's the situation now."
"yes!"
Su Dingfang bowed in response.
Immediately, Su Dingfang said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Du Qi's army is still stationed at the junction of Yizhou and Guazhou, and Hou Junji is still detained in Du Qi's camp. From the beginning to the end, Du Qi never withdrew his troops. Du Qi Qi's overall strength, according to the information we have inquired, has a real strength of 100,000 troops, and there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry. Now Du Qi's strength, including the mysterious weapon, is extremely powerful."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Then what exactly is Du Qi's weapon?"
This is what Li Shimin is most concerned about.
A weapon that is laid on the ground and explodes as soon as a person steps on it is very valuable. In addition, weapons that can be thrown directly with bare hands and thrown with a catapult are the focus of Li Shimin's attention. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
