I'm a marquis in Datang

Su Dingfang replied: "The reason is very simple. I have just surrendered to the king in a lowly position. A person who has just surrendered, but is in charge of an army alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd."

Du Qi said: "There is nothing you can't convince the public. You are strong enough to convince the public. And you are strong enough to be the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army. No one dares to say anything."

Su Dingfang is not an indecisive person, nor does he want to retreat.at the moment

Du Qi has said so, and he has already sent the opportunity to him. If he can't grasp it, he will be too sorry for Du Qi's trust.

Su Dingfang threw the ground and said loudly: "I thank the King Long En, I will live up to the king's high expectations."

He didn't say anything more.

Respond directly.

Seeing Su Dingfang's attitude, Du Qi smiled more on his face, and praised: "I believe in you, and after the soldiers under your command are integrated into the army, you don't have to worry about them. They enjoy the same treatment as soldiers in the army. It will be a disadvantage. Moreover, the salaries of lieutenant officers in our army are much higher than those of Datang."

Su Dingfang said: "The minister has already understood, it is indeed as His Majesty said, and everyone has already turned their hearts to the King."

After a pause, Su Dingfang continued: "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle the affairs of the Fourth Army well. If you don't understand, I will not pretend to understand, and will ask carefully to learn."

He wants to form an army alone, and if he wants to say that Su Ding is not afraid of fighting.The problem is that being in charge of the first army is not an easy task, because he doesn't know anything yet, and he needs to do everything.

Therefore, at the moment, Su Dingfang has to learn from Xue Rengui and others, so as to facilitate

understand situation.

Du Qi was very satisfied with Su Dingfang's words, nodded his head and rested for a while, and continued on his way with Su Dingfang.The army continued to retreat. When they passed through the Valley of Wind and Valley and arrived near Rouyuan County, the army stopped and stationed to rest because it was getting dark.

After nightfall, the large tent of the Chinese army.

Du Qi called Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi, Ma Yuan, and Su Dingfang over.

Xue Rengui and the others already knew Su Dingfang's current status as the chief general of the Fourth Army. They did not reject Su Dingfang because Su Dingfang was a strong man.The strong in the army are respected, and Su Dingfang is capable and humble, so the relationship between the few people is quite good, and they get along well.

Du Qi looked around at the four of them and said, "The battle on the border of Yizhou is over now. The four of you will lead the army back to Gaochang early tomorrow morning."

Xue Rengui said: "Won't Your Majesty return together?"

Du Qi shook his head and said: "I came out of Gaochang and walked all the way, but I haven't seen anything yet. I still need to continue my private visits to learn about the local situation. Before that, I took a route in the south, and now I'm traveling from the north of Rouyuan County Go west from Rouyuan County. Knowing more about the local situation will help to set things right."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded immediately.

Xiao Yuanqi and the others also agreed. Anyway, there was no fighting for the time being, so it was normal for them to withdraw their troops.

Du Qi once again talked about the rewards, and asked the group to go through the household department to reward them after returning, and arrange everything for the rewards and pensions for the rewards.

Only in this way will the lieutenant generals be convinced.

After all the affairs were properly arranged, Du Qicai asked everyone to retire, and Du Qi also took an early rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xue Rengui and his party led the army away first, while Du Qi and his party changed direction and continued on their way, continuing their private visits along the northern line.Du Qi was hiding his whereabouts at this time, and hurried on his way without fanfare.But in Rouyuan County, and even in Nazhi County, everything is normal, and the road tyrant that I encountered before has long since ceased to exist, so the journey went smoothly and nothing happened.

When Du Qi and his party left Rouyuan County and entered the north of Nazhi County, it was already August.The weather at this time is quite cool, not as hot as June or July.

Du Qi and his party were on their way slowly. When they were on their way in Nazhi County, they had already received news that the army led by Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and others had returned to Gaochang to station.

.

Su Dingfang is already recruiting soldiers.

Everything is in order.

When Du Qi and his party were on their way, they walked along the official road that had been built, but when they were on their way this day, suddenly, on the concrete official road in the north, many people gathered and all went forward.

This surprised Du Qi a little.

The north of Nazhi County is a little more remote, with a large area and few people. After all, this area is the Zheluomanshan area.The mountains spread far away, so there were very few people, but now many people gathered here at once.

Du Qi was a little curious, and arranged for Guan Zhilan to go forward and ask.After a while, Guan Zhilan met a commoner who was hurrying on his way, and after asking about it, Guan Zhilan came back with a strange expression.

Guan Zhilan respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the specific situation has been inquired clearly, but the reason for the gathering of the people is a bit strange."

Du Qi said: "What's weird?"

Guan Zhilan said: "The reason why the people gather together is because at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain, which is [-] miles to the northwest from our place, there is the Xia King of Xia Kingdom in person. Mingqiu Mountain is a mountain in the Zheluoman Mountain area. The village. King Xia appeared

, It means to solve the plight of the people near Mingqiu Mountain, so I call on the people to go.That's why so many people arrived. "

After Du Qi heard it, his expression became strange.

There is also Du Qi, the king of Xia.

This fake King Xia dared to openly gather the people at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain, and even summoned people from all over the world.Such a situation is simply unbelievable, and the fake person is even more daring.

Du Qi asked: "Have you ever found out that it is King Xia?"

Guan Zhilan nodded, and said, "Reporting to the King, it was the King's call. It was precisely because of the King's order, and the people respected the King, so when they heard that it was the King's call, they all went."

Du Qidao: "Since that's the case, let's take a look and see what's going on. The strange things in this world are really surprising. Unexpectedly, even this king has a clone."

Shangguanyi followed aside, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, someone must have faked your identity and took the opportunity to make money. When you were in Yizhou, your Majesty's identity was made public, and he also talked about the private visit of Weifu. In addition, you have traveled all the way from Gaochang Come along, many people know about the private visit of the king in Weifu. So some people use this cover to make money. The minister judged that this is definitely an opportunity to make money."

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "This matter must be severely punished."

Laiji said with a murderous look: "It's not just about severe punishment, even if the nine clans are implicated, it's not an exaggeration. Dare to pretend to be a king to cheat, this is no ordinary crime."

Guan Zhilan said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, these people are really heinous. Presumably, they think that Your Majesty defeated the Tang Army at the border, and they must return to Gaochang with the army. So they pretend to be His Majesty's private visit, and they don't worry about being exposed. These people It must be dealt with, if the chickens are not killed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Du Qi waved his hand and said: "The matter of how to deal with it is put on hold for now, let's take a look first. Let's go, let's also go to Mingqiu Mountain to see what kind of moth this fake King Xia is going to make."

He's actually curious.

What kind of person dares to impersonate him.

A group of people adjusted their direction and went to Mingqiu Mountain. Fortunately, it was not far from Mingqiu Mountain.It was only more than ten miles away, and You Qi and his group speeded up their journey. In less than an hour, they arrived at the village at the foot of Mingqiu Mountain.

Chapter 969

fake summer king

At the foot of Mingqiu Mountain, in the village.

At this moment, the village entrance is next to the official road, which is an open area.On weekdays, few people come to the open area at the entrance of the village. After all, although there are many people in the village, every household has their own affairs.

Most of the time, there are children playing here.However, today's village entrance is overcrowded.
