    ?

    Li Shimin asked Wei Shuyu and Wei Zheng, but the two had no good opinions for the time being, so Li Shimin immediately sent an order to summon Fang Xuanling to the palace overnight to discuss matters.  Fang Xuanling is quite old now, even because of the continuous running around and the huge pressure she bears, Fang Xuanling herself looks very old, and her hair has already turned gray.

    In history, Fang Xuanling served as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, Fang Xuanling seemed very relaxed, and even if the Tang Dynasty fought repeatedly, it was invincible and won continuously.  But today's Tang Dynasty is surrounded by air leaks, as if it is a building that is about to topple, so Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, is even more laborious and exhausted in handling government affairs.

    He entered the main hall, met Li Shimin, and heard Wei Shuyu talk about the battle situation on the front line. Fang Xuanling looked helpless after listening, and his heart was even more tired.

    Lost again!

    Datang lost again and again.

    Up to now, Datang no longer has enough power.  After all, the 100,000 people raised this time are already the last strength.  But now this little bit of strength is also buried on the river.

    Datang is no longer able to fight.

    Especially here in Jiangdu, it is not comparable to Chang'an. Chang'an is a strong city. Although Jiangdu is a strong city, it is not as strong as Chang'an, and the most important thing is that Li Shimin does not have enough troops right now.  This is the most headache.

    Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

    Li Shimin said: "Fang Qing, I know what you want to say, and I know the current situation. But I don't want to give up, I don't want to just lose like this. So I invite you here to discuss strategies and see how to block Du Qi's attack  Bingfeng, buy more time for the continuation of our Tang Dynasty."

    Fang Xuanling fell silent immediately after hearing the words.

    Difficult!

    If Datang's 100,000 troops were still there and had enough troops, it would be worthy of a battle.  The problem is that the battle on Jiangshang caused too much damage, so at the moment, there is simply not enough strength.

    Fang Xuanling thought about it carefully, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, if you want to resist Du Qi's troops, I have an idea right now, maybe you can try it."  '

    Li Shimin said: "What do you think?"

    Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Arrange soldiers to go to the pier and plant gunpowder beside the pier. As Jiangdu's pier, there are many goods on the side, which is very normal. So we hide gunpowder among these goods. Then, we  Then prevent the troops from preparing to resist Xia Guo's army at the pier."

    "Once Xia's army landed, we detonated the gunpowder at the pier, explaining that countless gunpowder exploded. The pier became a sea of ??flames, and countless Xia soldiers would surely be killed."

    "Even if the explosion is too strong, even the warships of the Xia Kingdom that are docked on the shore will be destroyed directly. At that time, the pier will be gone, the warships will be gone, even if Du Qi's army is powerful, but Du Qi has no logistics supplies, then  It is also a rootless duckweed, so we have a chance to fight against Xia Guo's army."

    Fang Xuanling said: "This is our only chance right now."

    Li Shimin nodded after hearing this.

    It seems that this is the only way to do it.

    Li Shimin did not immediately make a decision, but looked at Wei Shuyu and said, "Shuyu, what do you think?"

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Fang Xiang's suggestion. Although there are still many inadequacies in this suggestion. But in fact, it can only be arranged in this way. After all, at the moment, we have no more choices. In addition  , Our troops are not enough, so we have no choice.¡±

    Li Shimin said: "Wei Xiang, what do you think?"

    Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, the veteran also agrees with Fang Xiang's suggestion. Right now, there is no other way but to consider this arrangement first. After all, at the moment, we have no other options."

    Wei Shuyu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although there are some things that are not suitable to say, I have to say them."

    Li Shimin frowned.

    He roughly understood what Wei Shuyu was going to say.

    Li Shimin said: "But it doesn't matter."

    For Wei Shuyu, Li Shimin has great trust, because at the moment, Wei Shuyu is his confidant.

    Wei Shuyu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our 100,000 army has been defeated. Now, we still have to think about retreating. If we can stop Xia Guo's army at the pier and prevent Du Qi from breaking through and landing, that would be the best.  Everyone hopes to see this result. But if this defense cannot stop Du Qi's army, then we still have to consider the retreat in the next step. So please, Your Majesty, prepare for retreat in advance."

    Even if Li Shimin guessed it in his heart,According to Shuyu's words, he knew that Wei Shuyu must have mentioned the way out, and he was even prepared in his heart, but at this moment, Li Shimin still couldn't suppress his anger in his heart.

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Shuyu, how do you think we should arrange the way out?"

    Wei Zheng interjected: "Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is extremely arrogant. His words are not trustworthy, let alone reliable. Your Majesty, please don't trust him."

    Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Wei Qing, do you think I will anger Shuyu because of what Shuyu said? That's right, I am indeed very angry, angry at the defeat of my Tang army, and even more so  Angry at not being able to resist Du Qi. However, I am not a faint king, let alone a Jie and Zhou."

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "What's more, Shuyu said such a thing because he was wholeheartedly loyal to Datang. He finally came to Datang, how could I take my anger out on Shuyu? And the current Datang, also  It is indeed necessary to arrange a retreat to ensure nothing goes wrong."

    Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Li Shimin said: "Shuyu, just tell me how to arrange it under the current situation?"

    Wei Shuyu said sternly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that if we can't hold on now, then our only way out is to retreat to Lingnan. After all, the land of Lingnan is full of steep mountains, and the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk."

    "If we retreat into the territory of Lingnan, then even if Xia Guo's army arrives in Lingnan, they may not be able to reach it. After all, many lands in Lingnan have not yet bloomed, and even the miasma is heavy. As long as we retreat into Lingnan, we will naturally be able to form a defensive offensive.  "

    "The land of Baiyue in the south of the Lingnan is the best line of defense."

    Wei Shuyu continued: "Of course, this is just defense. Even if we want to develop in Lingnan, it may be very difficult. After all, we have to retreat, that is, to retreat to the mountains, so that there is room for inventory and a chance to breathe  .¡±

    Li Shimin frowned.

    This situation is very bad.

    The situation in Lingnan, because Li Shimin arranged for people to go there, so he knows the situation in Lingnan.  These cities in the south of the Five Ridges are not bad, there is no miasma in these places, but many places outside the cities have many mountains and forests, the weather is hot, and the miasma is heavy.  Living in these places is not easy.

    Of course, if we can really retreat into the mountains of Lingnan, we can indeed use the geographical conditions of Lingnan to delay in order to obtain the final victory. This is indeed an opportunity.

    Li Shimin's heart was a little moved, but he hadn't made a decision yet. He looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Qing, what do you think about the proposal of belonging?"

    Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, if it is really unstoppable, then this is the only way. The territory of Yangzhou, and even Jiangnan Road, is quite prosperous, but without a strong and tall city, it is difficult to hold the place  It is even more difficult to stop Du Qi's army. So if you want to retreat, you can only retreat to Lingnan."

    "And if you want to arrange, you have to arrange people to go to Lingnan in advance to make preparations in advance. We leave some troops in the city, and then arrange people to explore the road in the mountains and open up places in the mountains."

    "In this way, we have a chance to reverse the situation. Even if Lingnan is not good, we can go west to Nanzhao. In short, as long as we retreat south, we have more choices."

    Fang Xuanling continued: "It's just that at the moment, we need to make arrangements first so that we can make sufficient preparations."

    Li Shimin nodded.

    Indeed.

    Li Shimin said: "Fang Qing, you are in charge of arranging the retreat. It's just that right now, it's better not to make a big fanfare for the time being. Take inventory of the supplies so that you can prepare to retreat at any time."

    Fang Xuanling said: "I understand."

    Li Shimin yawned, and said: "Now that we have decided to retreat, who should be arranged to lead the army in the blockade at the pier?" (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
