Du Qi led the army to cover up the killing, and when he saw the soldiers of the Tang army who surrendered, he ordered his men to go forward and take all the prisoners. In just over half an hour, all the prisoners were taken into custody, and the army had been reorganized and counted.
Xue Rengui came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, we have captured more than 38,000 Tang soldiers in this battle, beheaded more than 3,600 people, and thousands of people fled to the surrounding area. Besides, Xiao Yuanqi captured Hou Junji alive. This time, Hou Junji fell into our hands again."
Du Qi said: "The captured soldiers of the Tang army were selected to be elite and reorganized into the army. As for the ordinary soldiers, they were left as auxiliary soldiers. These soldiers of the Tang army are elite and can be used."
Xue Rengui said: "I obey the order."
For the reorganization of soldiers, it is actually not difficult, because the treatment in Du Qi's army is good, and many of these soldiers are also locals, so they surrender to Du Qi, as long as they are given enough benefits, there will not be too many problems.
Not long after, Hou Junji was brought over.
Du Qi looked at Hou Junji, smiled and said: "Hou Junji, I didn't expect that we would meet again! How about it, at this moment, I feel quite excited."
Hou Junji was about to cry.
Planted again.
This time, he fell into Du Qi's hands again.
But Hou Junji had learned his lesson, he didn't want to repeat the tragic situation under Du Qi's command last time, so Hou Junji immediately said: "King Xia, the assassination this time was actually Su Dingfang's instigation, and it was his effort." Instigated. That's why the soldiers ambushed me, and it wasn't me, I didn't want to make a move."
He sold Su Dingfang and asked Su Dingfang to take the blame. Because in Hou Junji's view, Su Dingfang and him are not on good terms anyway, so it doesn't matter if he sells Su Dingfang. As long as Su Dingfang doesn't expose it, everything will be fine.
Du Qi said: "Hou Junji, according to what I know about Su Dingfang. He is guarding Guazhou, and he would not agree to send troops, let alone assassinate me. I'm afraid you are shirking responsibility. How about this king immediately report to Su Dingfang?" Call out, ask Su Dingfang. If Su Dingfang arranges the assassination, this king will not deal with you. If Su Dingfang has not urged, this king will kill you immediately."
Hou Junji smiled sheepishly and said: "King Xia, Su Dingfang did not say to assassinate you. In fact, it was my staff and people around me who suggested to assassinate you. I was bewitched at the time."
Du Qi continued: "It just so happens that all the people under your command have been taken down, so I'll ask your staff to see what they say. If you were bewitched, I will let you go. If you were not bewitched, I will let you go." Or kill you."
When Hou Junji heard this, he was a little confused.
Why do you always want to kill him.
Hou Junji was frightened, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy: "King Xia, I was wrong. I shouldn't have arranged for someone to assassinate you. I was wrong. I beg King Xia to spare my life and give me a way out."
Du Qi sneered and said, "Yo, Ken admits it."
Hou Junji smiled mischievously, facing Du Qi, he felt very guilty, because he was really afraid that Du Qi would kill him.
Du Qi stretched out his hand and patted Hou Junji's face, and said again: "Speaking of which, you are really my king's lucky star. Last time, you took the initiative to start a war with this king, which triggered the war between this king and Datang, and finally this king gained a foothold. In the Western Regions, Jianguo became the king. Because of the scene of retreating the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty, there is a follow-up Jianguo. This time, you came to take the initiative again, and you were taken down by this king. Your defeat will open the door The prelude to the fall of Zhou. Hou Junji, you are such a lovely person."
Hou Junji's cheeks twitched.
Feel ashamed.
He was dozens of years old, he was Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face by Du Qi and spoke in front of so many people, especially saying that he was a lucky star.
Hou Junji said: "Du Qi, even if you take down Guazhou, you won't be able to gain a foothold."
Du Qi said with a smile: "Who said I want to base myself in Guazhou."
Hou Junji said: "Then what are you going to do?"
Du Qi said sternly: "What I want to do has nothing to do with you. In a word, you have become a captive and made it difficult for the emperor. Hou Junji, Hou Junji, let's do it for ourselves. Well, I hope you will be able to do it by then." Chance to survive. Otherwise, you must die."
Hou Junji's heart sank.
"Take it down!"
Du Qi gave an order.
Immediately, the soldiers dragged Hou Junji down, while Du Qi led the army forward to the bottom of the tower. Du Qi looked up to the tower, saw Su Dingfang in armor, and said, "Brother Su, we meet again."
Su Dingfang said: "It's a great honor for Guazhou to be here personally. ?"It's me, Su Dingfang, who can't be said by King Xia, Brother Su." King Xia can just call Su Shishi, or he can call him by his first name. After all, you and I have different positions, and it is not appropriate to call them brothers. What's more, King Xia had just invaded Guazhou and wiped out the army led by Hou Junji, which was tantamount to open war with Datang. King Xia, we are enemies. "
Du Qi said: "A standpoint is a standpoint, and a personal relationship is a personal relationship. I admire Brother Su's vision and ability. What's more, although you and I are enemies now, our personal relationship is good. Forget it, Governor Su wants public to public. Then, public to public. Inspector Su, if you open the city gate and surrender, this king will not cause more slaughter. If Inspector Su insists on resisting, you should know that mere Guazhou City cannot stop my army."
Su Dingfang said calmly: "Then I'll be on the tower, waiting for King Xia's attack."
All the troops on the tower are in place.
And the defensive equipment is also in place.
Everyone is ready for a battle, and Su Dingfang has certain confidence in guarding the city. After all, they were on the tower, not outside the city. Even if Du Qi had powerful weapons, in front of the strong tower, Du Qi's grenades and mines were useless, even if he had gunpowder.
Du Qi said with a smile: "It seems that Governor Su still has a lot of confidence in being able to hold the county seat. Since that's the case, this king will come to measure your ability."
After a pause, Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui beside him, and said, "Xue Rengui, we will lead the army to station, and we will adjust and rest first, and then we will fight again after Shen time in the afternoon."
?From yesterday to today, I ran all night and fought again in the morning, so the soldiers under my command were quite exhausted.
Everyone needs a break.
Moreover, the weather in the Western Regions is now very hot. In the afternoon around Shen time, the heat of the sun slowed down, because the Western Regions had long days and short nights, so even if Shen time attacked, it would have no effect.
The army retreated, and Su Dingfang was a little surprised when he saw it, because Du Qifang retreated after speaking harshly. Fu Junheng felt even more strange, and asked: "Inspector Su, Du Qi uttered harsh words just now, but he just retreated and didn't attack. Look, why is he doing this?"
When it comes to understanding Du Qi, Fu Junheng asked himself if Su Dingfang knew Du Qi.
So he asked.
Su Dingfang said: "Fu Changshi, the reason why Du Qi retreated, I was also a little puzzled just now, but after thinking about it, it is actually reasonable. He traveled a long distance to attack Hou Junji, and the soldiers in the army are exhausted. Now he has won After that, it was exhausted again and again, and the fighting power was weakened. If it weren't for our lack of troops, I would immediately order an attack and fight Du Qi."
After a pause, Su Dingfang said again: "It's just that there are not enough troops at the moment, so we can only guard. Du Qi must rest first, and then attack Guazhou City when the soldiers recover their combat effectiveness. We are about to face the most dangerous moment."
Fu Junheng sighed: "This battle is inevitable, but I don't know what will happen in the end."
Su Dingfang said: "Let's take one step at a time."
Fu Junheng suddenly said: "Inspector Su, do you think we can hold the county seat?"
"have no idea!"
Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Du Qi is extremely powerful in using troops. Especially as far as I know, Du Qi has not been defeated yet. So in this situation, the outcome is unknown. As I said just now, every step counts. I just need to As the governor of Guazhou, I will persevere. I will never give up until the end."
Fu Junheng nodded and said nothing more. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
