Ma Zhou looked solemn, and said slowly: "It is actually not easy to deal with Liaodong. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang tried his best to conquer Goguryeo several times, but all ended in failure. In the end, it ruined the Great Sui for decades. foundation."
Shangguanyi smiled lightly and said: "Although it is difficult to attack Goguryeo and Silla, it is different today. Our situation is different from when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo."
"First, our weapons are more powerful."
"Secondly, our generals can command independently and will not be controlled by others. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he had extremely strict control over the generals who led the troops to fight on the front line, and the generals were not allowed to make decisions without authorization. Yang Guang had to be consulted for any decision. If you come back once, you will ruin a good opportunity to fight."
"In particular, Yang Guang was extremely lenient towards Goguryeo. Once Goguryeo showed signs of asking for surrender, Yang Guang immediately ordered the front line to stop advancing and not to continue attacking Goguryeo."
"But we are different here. Ma Yuan led the army to attack Goguryeo and Silla, but His Majesty doesn't care about Ma Yuan's arrangements, and let Ma Yuan do it freely. This will not hinder Ma Yuan, so there will be no major problems in this battle. .¡±
Shangguanyi looked determined, and said loudly: "I think the Liaodong area will definitely be included in our Xia Kingdom."
Ma Zhou said: "What the chief of the pavilion said is true."
Ma Zhou is also a person who is familiar with the classics. He knows the history of the Sui Dynasty, and he also knows that there are indeed many inappropriate arrangements for Yang Guang's attack on Goguryeo. Although there are many other reasons for Yang Guang's defeat, for Ma Yuan today, Ma Yuan will definitely not be affected by all the mistakes Yang Guang made.
Du Qi flicked his sleeves and said: "Ma Yuan wants to deal with Goguryeo and Silla, that's a good thing. Shangguanyi, you write to Ma Yuan and tell them to let them do it. I support them."
"I obey!"
Shangguanyi responded immediately.
At this moment, another soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter sent back by General Su Dingfang from Yunzhou in the north, please read it."
While talking, the soldier handed over the letter.
Du Qi took the letter, but did not open it for the time being. With a smile on his face, he looked at Shang Guanyi and Ma Zhou, and said with a smile, "It's fine if the news doesn't come, but it will all come when it comes. I guess, Su Dingfang also ended the war."
Shangguanyi said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Ma Zhou also opened his mouth to congratulate.
Du Qi didn't speak, so he lowered his head and directly opened the letter in his hand, and quickly read Su Dingfang's letter. After reading it, Du Qi laughed again, he was really in a good mood. When Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou saw this, they were also happy. Seeing Du Qi's appearance, they knew it must be good news.
Du Qi said: "Su Dingfang sent someone to convey a message that he had captured Li Tai and Li Tai's civil servants and military generals alive. Not only that, after Su Dingfang and Amir made a plan, they instigated the Turkic Ashina Teqin and killed the Turkic Lord."
"Now Ashina Teqin leads the people to surrender to Xia Kingdom and serve Xia Kingdom. Su Dingfang said in the letter that the next step will be to continue to weaken the Turks, and even let Ashna Teqin enter the court, and eventually the Turks will be completely destroyed."
Du Qi said: "Su Dingfang will continue to stay in Yunzhou for a period of time, and cannot go south for the time being."
Shangguanyi exclaimed: "Your Majesty, whether it is General Ma or General Su, they are all amazing! Originally, their task was to deal with Li Ke and Li Tai, but now they are all going one step further. Ma Far away, Silla and Goguryeo were calculated, and Su Dingfang also took down the Turks, which is really great, so that a lot of things can be saved. At least here, His Majesty, it will be much easier."
Du Qi nodded and said: "They are really outstanding."
Du Qi is extremely satisfied with the combination of Ma Yuan and Laiji, the combination of Su Dingfang and Amir, and even the combination of Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Zhou, because they all have a high degree of tacit understanding.
At this moment, on the contrary, Ma Zhou sighed deeply after hearing the battle between Ma Yuan and Su Dingfang.
He thought he did a good job in Shuzhong, and even came to Du Qi's side first, thinking that he should be the best, but now that he heard the news, the little bit of complacency in Ma Zhou's heart also completely disappeared at this moment disappear.
Ma Zhou's mentality returned to normal.
Du Qi changed the subject and said: "Now, what we have to do is to go south. Now that we get the news and go south, I won't have the slightest burden here. Now, we don't have any worries anymore."
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty is right, we have nothing to worry about when we go south. Moreover, with the army led by General Xiao joining in, our strength has increased again, and we are going to suppress the enemy.?? Li Shimin is easy as pie. "
Du Qi nodded and said: "Go down and clean up. The army will set off for the south tomorrow morning."
Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou all responded.
Du Qi began to deal with some follow-up matters, because Li Ke was still escorting the south, and the people under Li Ke's command were also escorting the south. Du Qi had to arrange the contribution of these people in advance. Du Qi's attitude towards Li Ke was actually similar to that of Li Chengqian. He didn't spare Li Chengqian's life, so naturally he wouldn't spare Li Ke's life either.
Therefore, Du Qi directly issued an order, ordering people to go north immediately, notify the people escorting Li Ke, and immediately execute Li Ke, and then only need to bring Li Ke's civil and military officials to Jiangdu.
Some of these people are useful. So Du Qi can't be executed, he has to be recruited. In addition, Du Qi arranged many other things to handle all the details properly.
Everything was arranged, it was already late at night.
The weather in the middle and late February is already quite good, without the chill. Although there was a bit of coldness at night, it didn't have much impact. Du Qi wore a thin shirt and continued to work again. He carefully sorted out the things that might be involved when he went south next time, so that he knew what to expect. Just lay down and rested.
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, after Du Qi got up and washed up, he led his army and set off southward. The army left Jiangdu in a mighty way, heading south all the way to the area where Lingnan is located. According to the information obtained by the unscrupulous people, Li Shimin has never been entrenched in the county seat, but has retreated to the forest and entrenched in the mountains.
Obviously, Li Shimin wants to fight a protracted war.
Li Shimin hid in the mountains and bet that Du Qi would not be able to break in. Then after Du Qi retreated, Li Shimin could make a comeback and set about sweeping all over the place again to achieve his goal of rising again. It's just that Li Shimin's idea is very good, Du Qi can't make Li Shimin happy.
Moreover, Li Shimin retreated into the mountains. For the time being, because Du Qi never went south, Li Shimin was able to communicate with the outside world, and even had power in the outside world. But when Du Qi arrived and surrounded Li Shimin, because Li Shimin was blocked in the mountains, he must have insufficient food and the environment was difficult. At that time, it would be unbearable for ordinary people.
When Du Qi went south this way, the news also spread the first step. After all, it is impossible to hide their whereabouts as the army is on its way. So Li Shimin's people stationed in various places saw Du Qi's army immediately, and then quickly spread the news.
The location of Li Shimin is located in Shaozhou.
Shaozhou is already close to the southern tip of Guangzhou.
These places have a typical southern climate, hotter and hotter. The most important thing is that many places today, although they have been managed a long time ago, even in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, they were already inhabited and operated.
In fact, many places like this are still quite barren. Li Shimin's original plan was to continue going south and retreat into Guangzhou. But now there are many mountains in Shaozhou, so Li Shimin is entrenched in Yushan near Qujiang County, Shaozhou.
Qujiang County is the seat of Shaozhou.
Slightly more prosperous.
Zhu Yuwen, the county magistrate of Qujiang County, is a member of Li Shimin, and he belongs to Li Shimin. However, although Li Shimin was in Yushan, he had never been entrenched in Qujiang County. According to Li Shimin's plan, once Du Qi went south and approached Qujiang County, it would be extremely difficult to resist with the city of Qujiang County.
Of course, if Du Qi can't go south, that's another story. In short, it is more appropriate for Li Shimin to be entrenched in the mountains. After all, Yushan is extremely vast, and he does not lack supplies while hiding in the mountains.
In particular, Yushan is also close to the river, so the location is very good.
He is in Yushan, which has a geographical advantage. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
