    ?

    The arrival of Wei Zheng was just an episode.  Du Qi's army continued to move forward, and when Du Qi's army was advancing rapidly, Wei Zheng returned to Anrong Pass first.  As soon as he entered the pass, he went straight to the tower of Anrong Pass to have an audience.  Standing in front of Li Shimin, Wei Zheng looked ashamed and said: "Your Majesty, I have never ordered Du Qi to stop marching troops. Please forgive me. Your Majesty, the peace request has failed."

    Li Shimin sighed, shook his head and said: "This result was actually within my expectations. The situation between Xia Guo and Datang is quite obvious. It is obvious that Xia Guo is strong and prosperous, while Datang is weak. Especially  The Tang Dynasty is so weak that it has internal and external troubles, and has no power to resolve internal and border conflicts, let alone resist Du Qi's army."

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "This matter is on my shoulders. If I sent troops, I would not agree to seek peace and would continue to march. So it is reasonable for Du Qi to refuse."

    Regardless of Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng said again: "Your Majesty, if I fail to complete the task, I will be punished with death! Please, Your Majesty, please punish me."

    When he left, he issued a military order.

    Now it has never been completed.

    Ashamed of trusting Li Shimin.

    Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, and said: "Wei Xiang, you have tried your best, how can I punish you again. Although I am in trouble now, I am not a fool, and I will not deal with people indiscriminately. There is no need to ask for guilt.  The top priority is to follow the original plan, we will hold off at Anrong Pass to delay the speed of Du Qi's attack."

    Wei Zheng said gratefully: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    ?Having followed Li Shimin for many years, and Wei Zheng had been an enemy of Li Shimin for many years, he knew Li Shimin's nature.  He has tried to persuade Li Shimin repeatedly, and even every time he persuaded him, it pierced Li Shimin's heart, but Li Shimin endured it.

    Li Shimin is a wise king.

    It is worth following.

    Wei Zheng stopped talking, but at this moment Wei Shuyu took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, since the peace proposal has failed, we will choose to set up a defense line here at Anrong Pass.  As long as you can delay the time, you can wait for the opportunity."

    Li Shimin admired Wei Shuyu quite a lot, because from the beginning of the war to the present, Wei Shuyu has repeatedly made suggestions.  Although sometimes, Wei Shuyu's suggestion will not be adopted, but Wei Shuyu's suggestion is also good.

    Li Shimin said: "Shuyu, do you have any suggestions?"

    Wei Shuyu gritted his teeth and said: "Before when we attacked Du Qi's camp, Du Qi blew it upside down. The camp was turned upside down, and our soldiers were damaged countless, so that the army was defeated. Now, we have also adopted this plan.  Arrange the gunpowder."

    "Once Du Qi's army arrives, bomb them. It doesn't matter how many people are killed, one counts as one. When Du Qi attacks Anrong Pass, we will use Anrong Pass to resist and detonate Anrong according to the previous plan.  Guan, blowing up Du Qi's soldiers. In a word, constantly weakening Du Qi's strength."

    Wei Shuyu said: "As long as Du Qi has no more troops, it will be easy to delay time."

    In fact, this is similar to the plan proposed by Wei Shuyu before.

    It is halfway blocking.

    Arrange gunpowder to stop Du Qi's army.

    Li Shimin had not adopted it before, but after Wei Shuyu proposed it this time, because he wanted to buy time for Fang Xuanling, although this method could not affect Du Qi's advance, in fact, it could at least curb the speed of Du Qi's advance.

    Li Shimin has no choice now, so he nodded and said: "Just follow the plan proposed by Shuyu, as long as it can stop Du Qi's army, as long as it can delay the speed, it is worth a try."

    After a pause, Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, and ordered: "Wei Xiang, you arrange it immediately, Du Qi's army is already on the way. According to the time estimate, I am afraid that in one or two hours at most, Du Qi's army will be gone."  It will arrive. Right now we don't have much time to delay, we need to prepare early."

    "The minister obeys the order!"

    Wei Zheng made arrangements immediately after getting the order.

    Along with the action of the army, some soldiers of the Tang Army moved quickly.  After the Tang army was properly arranged, Li Shimin, who was closed by An Rong, waited on the gate tower.

    On the other side, Du Qi's army has begun to approach.  The army was less than fifteen miles away from Anrong Pass, and if they traveled fast, it would take less than an hour.

    The army under Du Qi's command still has 70,000 to 80,000 people. Counting some of the reorganized Tang troops, there are actually more troops, but these Tang troops are still under separate control for the time being and have not been included in the battle order.  With Du Qi's current strength and Li Shimin's small strength, even if Du Qi arrived at Anrong Pass after a long journey, with the power of the mortar,??It was enough to win a battle, so I never stopped and kept on my way.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

    Suddenly, successive explosions came from the front.  The sound of the explosion was deafening, even Du Qi could feel it from a long distance away, and from a distance, he could see the smoke and dust erupting in the distance.

    Du Qi's heart sank, and he said coldly, "What's going on?"

    The messenger immediately arranged for someone to inquire. Not long after, the news came. The soldier stood in front of Du Qi and reported: "Your Majesty, on the road ahead, suddenly there was a gunpowder explosion. Countless gunpowder explosions caused many  Soldiers were wounded."

    Du Qi narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.

    Obviously, this is Li Shimin's arrangement.

    It was arranged by Li Shimin to stop it.

    Du Qi immediately shook the rein and walked forward, but Du Qi was stopped by Ma Zhou, who shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't go forward. There is an explosion ahead right now, so it is extremely dangerous. If you  If you go there in person, but encounter danger, that would be bad. So for now, you should stay here, and I will go there in person."

    "No need!"

    Du Qi shook his head and refused.

    He flicked the rein, and the horse was already moving forward quickly.  Seeing this, Ma Zhou and Shangguanyi hurried forward with Du Qi, and they arrived at the front line not long after.  At this moment, on the official road in front, the ground is full of potholes and messes everywhere, obviously the traces that only gunpowder can blow out.

    Du Qi looked around and saw a shrub forest in the distance of the official roads on both sides.  It is precisely such an area that people should be hiding, causing Li Shimin's people to ambush in the distance, so that the gunpowder was detonated.

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Xue Rengui!"

    "exist!"

    Xue Rengui replied immediately.

    Du Qi said: "Check carefully the left and right sides of the official road along the way, especially when it comes to areas with bushes, and sweep it carefully. The explosion this time was deliberately done by Du Qi to stop us from moving forward."

    "yes!"

    Xue Rengui responded immediately.

    After Xue Rengui withdrew, Du Qi arranged for someone to take the seriously injured soldiers down for treatment, and buried all the dead soldiers.  After finishing the matter, Du Qi ordered to continue the journey.

    It is impossible for him to stop just because Li Shimin wants to block.

    It is imperative to attack Datang.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
