    The next day, early morning.

    Xue Rengui had already led his army to leave Jiangdu, and the army under his command was divided into various places to sweep the states and counties of Jiangnan Road.  In addition, Xue Rengui also dispatched part of his troops to go northward, attacking various places along the periphery of the canal, and wanted to seize various places on a large scale.

    Du Qi still led the army to sit in Jiangdu and stood firmly behind.  On the one hand, Du Qi suppressed the rear, and on the other hand, he started to sort out the local affairs and stabilize the local internal affairs.

    When Xue Rengui was advancing rapidly, the army led by Li Shimin was also withdrawing rapidly.

    Entering October, the army led by Li Shimin has already entered the territory of Kuaiji.  Now there are more than 7,000 troops around Li Shimin, mainly composed of Xuanjia elite cavalry and some infantry.  Of course, in addition to more than 7,000 soldiers, there are also a large number of family members of officials and a large number of people accompanying them. The entire team is very large.

    Fortunately, the soldiers carried food, which was able to support them.  Furthermore, Fang Xuanling had already made arrangements earlier, so the journey went smoothly without encountering any troubles.

    Now Li Shimin is in Kuaiji, not far from Yangzhou, and it is still not safe here.

    If you go at full speed, you can arrive in a short time.  Moreover, the Kuaiji area has been developed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and these places are considered to be relatively prosperous and prosperous.  And in the Tang Dynasty, these places were repaired, and the official roads were also paved with cement, so it was still easy to travel.

    When it was almost noon, Li Shimin and his party stopped to rest.

    Previously, when Li Shimin and his party were in Kuaiji County, they provided supplies, so the accompanying grain and meat were sufficient for the time being.  Right now Li Shimin still has to go south, going south to the southern area of ??Jiangnan Road.  Because it is close to the Lingnan area, there is a chance to breathe.

    In places like Kuaiji, there is no way to gain a foothold.

    Li Shimin was surrounded by Wei Shuyu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others, and Li Shimin looked a little tired.  After all, I was quite exhausted after fleeing and traveling all the way.

    When Li Shimin was young, even if he kept running around, his body could support him.

    Today, Li Shimin is nearly forty years old.  In particular, he has worked very hard these years, his body and bones have long since deteriorated, and his temples have turned gray a lot, so after running around, he is very tired.

    When Li Shimin was resting, Wei Shuyu got up to get the handkerchief, poured hot water, let Li Shimin wash his face with hot water, and then sat down again. He solemnly said: "Your Majesty, we must hurry up when we go south. The rear  Bad people have sent news that after Du Qi seized Jiangdu, he has already started to send troops to attack all parts of Jiangnan Road."

    "In addition, people were also arranged to go north to sweep the areas around the canal. Now Du Qi's intention is actually very simple, that is to stabilize the place and consolidate the achievements that have been won."

    Wei Shuyu said: "Under this situation, our living space will become smaller and smaller, and our situation will become more and more difficult."

    Li Shimin said dejectedly: "There is no way, there is no way to stop it right now."

    Now Li Shimin's troops are running out.

    More than seven thousand people.

    Perhaps in troubled times, these more than 7,000 people can sweep across the country like a single spark of fire.  But now Du Qi has become a climate, and even Du Qi has a big rear like the imperial capital in the rear, so he has no strength to compete with Du Qi at all.

    The current situation is quite bad.

    Seven thousand people can do too little.

    Wei Shuyu said again: "Your Majesty, we are still facing the most difficult problem."

    Li Shimin had a puzzled expression on his face, and asked: "What's the problem? Are you worried that we will continue to go south, and after reaching Lingnan, there will be no place to stand?"

    Wei Shuyu shook his head and said: "It's not about this matter. The house minister has already arranged for the southward trip. So the things about the southward trip along the way are fine, and there are people who will go there first. I'm not worried. What happens now  The problem is that along the way we are going south, some people are unwilling to go south and have started to leave the team quietly."

    brush!

    Li Shimin's complexion changed abruptly.

    There was more anger in the eyes.

    While being angry, Li Shimin felt helpless in his heart.  Now he is panicked like a bereaved dog, how can he ask others to follow him to the death.  Everyone knows that in times of adversity, one can see a person's thoughts.

    Li Shimin suddenly chuckled twice.

    In the laughter, there is self-deprecation.

    Li Shimin sighed and said: "Those who should go, can't be kept. Instead of keeping these people, it is better to let them go. We have to go south to Lingnan, and even go into the mountains to hide. Then at the moment, there should be no impure thoughts."  people. stay?These people, on the contrary, are a scourge, and may even drag us down.  "

    Wei Shuyu looked admiringly and said: "Your Majesty is wise, if it were someone else, they would have been unable to handle this situation for a long time. They were already furious, and even wanted to kill them, and they would definitely kill them. But you can figure it out, Your Majesty."  ,Admirable."

    Li Shimin said: "Shuyu, don't wear your high hat. Now I am here, it is helpless."

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I reported this matter is that among the court officials who are accompanying me now, there must be some people who are shaken in their hearts, and even the family members are also worried. Rather than leaving these people as a burden, it is better to let them go.  "

    After a pause, Wei Shuyu said: "I suggest that you personally give a lecture and let those who want to leave let them go. Take this opportunity to lighten our burden. Your Majesty, now we need iron and blood, and more importantly, we need gentle means."

    Li Shimin said after listening, "I understand."

    Wei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief.

    It is the best for Li Shimin to be able to listen to persuasion.  It's just that Wei Shuyu sighed in his heart, Xia Guo's strength is too strong now, and it is constantly sweeping all over the country like a snowball, and constantly seizing regions in various places.  If it weren't for Du Qi's strength, Li Shimin was so wise, and such a wise master would be enough to prosper the Tang Dynasty.

    It's a pity that the destiny is in the country of Xia.

    Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling at the side, and said: "Fang Qing, please go and inform, and gather all the officials and their families."

    Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to call up the army as well? After all, there are so many soldiers in the army. Some officials and their family members leave privately, and the army is the same."

    "After Xue Wanche followed up, our army strength has actually increased, but now there are only 7,000 people left, obviously there are deserters. So these soldiers should also give a lecture together, and let them leave if they want to leave."

    Fang Xuanling said: "Tell them openly and honestly that those who want to leave will leave so that they can make a choice. Only in this way can we ensure that we can fight to the end."

    Li Shimin said: "Yes!"

    Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling turned around and went down to make arrangements.

    In a short period of time, Fang Xuanling gathered all the accompanying officials, their family members, even the Xuanjia cavalry, and all the infantry.  All the troops gathered, Fang Xuanling came to Li Shimin's side and said, "Your Majesty, we have all assembled."

    Li Shimin nodded.

    He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, looked at everyone who had gathered, took a deep breath, stood up, and came in front of everyone.  Li Shimin glanced over, and saw soldiers and officials who evacuated with him.

    Many of these people looked terrified.

    A worried look.

    When the wind and rain are precarious, no one can be alone.  They followed Li Shimin one by one, as if they were in a whirlpool, so each of them felt panic in their hearts, which was extremely normal.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
