I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Shimin suppressed Jiang Huang in his heart, and said: "What's going on, Duan Zhixuan is going to chase Xia Guo's army. How could he be ambushed all the way?"

The sentry said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when the army was confronting Xia's army, suddenly, an army led by Du Qi appeared from behind, cut off the retreat, and then defeated the army."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth immediately.

His eyes were filled with daring.

Du Qi!

It's Du Qi again!

Du Qixian defeated Li Jing's army on the front line of Sanqiu Mountain and captured Li Jing.Now, Du Qi suddenly came to Rouyuan County again, directly destroying Duan Zhixuan's troops.

Chapter 1096 Withdrawing Troops Again

withdrew again

In Li Shimin's mind, a thought suddenly came up. The whole general direction of the transfer was in Du Qi's expectation, and then it was all arranged by Du Qi, which is why Du Qi won so quickly.

Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, you said that our army deployment, whether Du Qi has made a judgment. Therefore, Du Qi laid an ambush on Sanqiu Mountain early. When the victory was won on the front line of Sanqiu Mountain, Du Qi immediately withdrew and went south to assist Another Xia army defeated Duan Zhixuan's army."

Changsun Wuji said: "There is a possibility."

At this time, Changsun Wuji was reviewing the game carefully and thinking quickly.The more he pondered, the more he felt that this was the case. Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, perhaps Du Qi has already arrived in Rouyuan County. Then when we failed to attack Rouyuan County, Du Qi had already arrived in Rouyuan County. After deciding our strategy, it is predicted that our attack on Rouyuan County will fail, and we will attack from the front line of Sanqiu Mountain. Then, we will wait for our troops to fall into the trap.

So our step-by-step planning is actually jumping into Du Qi's urn. "

Li Shimin's cheeks twitched.

Du Qi really has this ability.

can make such predictions.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Auxiliary machine, Li Jing was defeated and captured, and now he has fallen into Du Qi's hands. And Duan Zhixuan died again, we lost so many troops. Now, what can we do?"

Changsun Wuji said: "It is definitely impossible to continue attacking Du Qi now. After all, Du Qi is no longer on the front line of Sangqiu Mountain. Especially our current military strength has also been greatly weakened. I believe that now we must Attacking Du Qi is already quite difficult. Especially Du Qi has already arrived, so I suggest that we withdraw our troops directly."

Li Shimin frowned suddenly.

Withdraw!

He is unwilling to withdraw troops.

You must know that this time, Li Shimin gathered troops from various countries,

Gathering the power of all countries is to take down Xia Guo in one go, and then seize Du Qi's power in the Western Regions.However, Li Shimin did not expect that the final result would be to evolve to this stage, resulting in countless losses.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I can judge that Du Qi must have brought an army to kill him now. Especially now that the Duke of Wei is in Du Qi's hands, once Du Qi kills him, the Duke of Wei will be in Du Qi's hands again." In our hands, the consequences are unimaginable. Especially our military strength is weakened right now. Against Du Qi's army, especially with that mysterious weapon in Du Qi's army, we really don't have an advantage."

Li Shimin frowned.

He knew that Changsun Wuji's words had some truth to it. Although Datang had gunpowder now, it was far from enough compared to Xia's weapons, which led to a lack of combat effectiveness. .

Li Shimin knew that he was invincible, but he was even more clear that he would not retreat. When the real battle with Du Qi started, the Tang army might be in some trouble.if there is not

Li Shimin is not afraid of Xia Guo's mysterious weapon, and dares to fight. The problem is that the mysterious weapon is too strong.

"Order to withdraw troops!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin finally ordered.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he immediately went to deliver the order. Following the order, everyone in the entire army was a little surprised, but they quickly packed up and saluted, and then quickly withdrew the troops.

The army withdrew and left quickly.

The news of the entire army's departure quickly spread to the city, and Xiao Yuanqi discovered it.

Xiao Yuanqi knew about the battle at Sangqiu Mountain, and knew even more that Du Qi had already sent troops to the rear, and he wanted to attack Duan Zhixuan with Ma Yuan.Especially just before the Tang army withdrew, Xiao Yuanqi also got the news from Du Qi's people, knowing that Du Qi had joined Ma Yuan and had already wiped out the army led by Duan Zhixuan.

However, although Xiao Yuanqi got the news about the withdrawal of the Tang army, he never ordered to cover up the killing. He only arranged for sentries to keep a close eye on the news.

, so as to judge the situation of Datang at any time.

Xiao Yuanqi's plan was simple.

In this battle, if he directly sent troops to cover up the killing, if the Tang army killed a carbine, his army might be overthrown by then, which would affect the entire war.

Xiao Yuanqi gave up this plan.

Choose to stay.

Xiao Yuanqi stood guard at the same spot, and it was already approaching the early morning at night. At this time, the army led by Du Qi arrived at the county seat of Rouyuan County.The army directly entered the city, and the army was stationed in the city, while Du Qi led his people straight up to the tower.

Xiao Yuanqi came to Du Qi's side, saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"

Du Qidao: "What is the situation now?"

Xiao Yuanqi replied: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin led the army to retreat. Right now, Li Shimin's army has already left the territory of Rouyuan County and returned to the territory of Guazhou. It is estimated that Li Shimin got Sangqiu

Shan Yixian's smile, and the news of Duan Zhixuan's defeat.It's just that at that time, the minister was worried that leading the army to cover up the killing would easily affect the situation if he was counter-killed by Li Shimin, so he didn't pursue him, but sent people to lead people to watch. "

Du Qi nodded.

He never scolded Xiao Yuanqi either, because Xiao Yuanqi's nature was more cautious.Furthermore, Xiao Yuanqi had [-] to [-] troops in his hands, which was not enough to deal with Li Shimin's army.

It is indeed easy to be counter-killed.

Du Qi brought Xiao Yuanqi, Li Jing, Ma Yuan, Xue Rengui, and the cabinet members to the room above the tower.

All the guests and hosts were seated.

Du Qi also talked about Li Jing's current situation.

When he said this, Xiao Yuanqi was also shocked, because Li Jing was in the territory of Tang Dynasty, that was a flag.Now that Li Jing has surrendered to Datang, Xia Guo's strength will increase greatly, but Li Shimin's strength will be weakened.

Du Qi continued: "Although Li Shimin said that he has retired from the army, our country Xia is not a weak person, nor is he being bullied, but he wants to pretend

Be someone who doesn't know anything.In this battle, we are bound to get it back.What do you think we should do now?Tell me about your next steps. "

Xue Rengui said directly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you continue to attack and attack Datang. It is really deceitful for Datang to deal with our Xia Kingdom again and again. Since Datang is now at war, if our Xia Kingdom If we don’t start a war, wouldn’t it seem that we are afraid of Datang? So now Li Shimin retreated to Guazhou, and we sent troops to kill him.”

Du Qi nodded, but did not express his opinion.

Killing the past is good.

But it is not the top choice.

But Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, I also think that we can take advantage of the victory to pursue. Why do you say that, because we still have more than [-] captives in our hands. With this group of captives, we have to deal with Li Shimin , That is confident. So tomorrow, we will continue to send troops to enter the territory of Guazhou. This time, we will not let it go for nothing like before, but really want Li Shimin to cede the land."
