I'm a marquis in Datang

When he walked forward this time, he arranged for auxiliary soldiers to enter the checkpoint first, and searched carefully for the situation.

As for Xue Rengui himself, he climbed up the tower first.

When Xue Rengui dispatched soldiers and held Anrong Pass in his hands, some auxiliary soldiers climbed up the tower, came to Xue Rengui, and reported: "General, we found the situation near the two sides of the official road in Anrong Pass. .New soil appeared on the ground around the pass, and after careful digging, gunpowder was found in the soil. Gunpowder exists around the pass.”

Xue Rengui said: "Li Shimin is really good at calculating. He thinks that our army will go to the surrounding area when it enters, so it is arranged here so that it can ignite and blow up our soldiers. Unfortunately, it is a miscalculation."

Immediately, Xue Rengui arranged for auxiliary soldiers to clear up the gunpowder that had been ambushed in the pass.In addition, auxiliary soldiers were arranged to search the surrounding area to remove any possible ambushes in the surrounding area.

After all the arrangements were made, Xue Rengui went down to Anrong Pass, and went outside the pass to invite Du Qi to enter.

Xue Rengui also reported the situation in the pass.

Explained the situation carefully.

After Du Qi heard this, he instructed: "Since Li Shimin has arranged gunpowder on the roads on both sides of the official road, he should be more cautious. As long as it is in this cement road area, it is difficult for gunpowder to ambush. Xue Rengui, arrange someone Keep an eye on Li Shimin's whereabouts, this is the key of the key."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Xue Rengui immediately went to the party.

A group of troops entered the city, and then all the troops entered the pass, but they never stationed near the pass, but entered Anrong Pass, and after walking for more than ten miles, the army stationed in an open area.

When the army set up camp, Xue Rengui came to the big tent of the Chinese army, went to Du Qi's side, and reported: "Your Majesty, I just got the news from the sentry that Li Shimin's army did not evacuate directly to the hinterland of Longzhou, but went to Anrongguan. In the west of Anrong Pass, there is a mountain forest, which is not easy to search. Obviously, Li Shimin gave up trying to stop us from advancing, and instead wandered around. Once we let it go, then we Li Shimin will be harassed and harassed by Li Shimin. Li Shimin may even sneak into our rear and cause a huge impact on us. In short, if Li Shimin is not completely wiped out, there will be huge hidden dangers."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Li Shimin's place really needs to be dealt with. If Li Shimin is not captured, the consequences will be disastrous. But Li Shimin wants to escape, and it is not easy to hide. Pass the order, Li Shimin

The people are hiding in Longzhou.Anyone who provides Li Shimin's whereabouts will be rewarded with [-] yuan if the information is true.If anyone who can kill Li Shimin, as long as their identity is verified, they will be given a reward of [-] qian and allowed to accumulate. "

Xue Rengui excitedly said: "Your Majesty, as long as you follow His Majesty's instructions, we will surely win this battle. Even if Li Shimin flees with more than ten thousand people, Li Shimin must have nowhere to escape in the end. We will definitely win this battle gone."

Du Qidao: "Go and execute the Tao."

"Yes!"

After Xue Rengui agreed, he turned and left.

Now that Du Qi is free for the time being, he has nothing to do, so he took a book to read.

After Du Qi's army was stationed in the pass, the army led by Li Shimin withdrew quickly, away from Anrong Pass, and went straight to the west.Because Li Shimin had made preparations for evacuation before, all of Li Shimin's grain, grass, equipment, etc. were relocated.

Only in this way, leaving will not be short of food.

The army retreated for a certain distance, but Li Shimin was concerned about the situation of Anrong Pass in his heart, because he arranged for people to plant gunpowder near Anrong Pass. Once Du Qi's army entered Anrong Pass, they would spread out to station Li Shimin's men can ignite the gunpowder, blow up Du Qi's camp, and kill some of Xia's soldiers.

Li Shimin led the army to retreat, and after a certain distance, the army stopped to rest.

Li Shimin was looking forward to it even more.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a sentry flew back and came to Li Shimin's side, reporting: "Your Majesty, the army led by Du Qi has already entered the territory of Anrong Pass. However, Du Qi's army is Our gunpowder was discovered. All our gunpowder ambushed in the ground was discovered, and then began to be dug out one by one."

With a helpless expression on his face, the whistler said rather dejectedly: "Not only that, when Du Qi's army was stationed, they were not stationed in the pass, but continued to move forward for a distance of more than ten miles, and then Xia Guo's army was stationed. come down."

Li Shimin was extremely disappointed.

Failed again!

He wanted to blow up Xia Guo's soldiers, even in case Du Qi stood on top of the gunpowder, as long as the gunpowder was ignited, once it exploded, maybe

Even Du Qi can be killed.

Unfortunately, this hope was dashed.

Li Shimin waved his hand, told the sentinel to continue to stare at Du Qi, and ordered to continue on his way.Now, it is definitely impossible for him to use gunpowder to kill Du Qi's soldiers.Up to now, the only option is to continue to withdraw troops, first avoid Du Qi's edge, and then contain Du Qi's army, making it impossible for Du Qi to move forward.

Chapter 1214 Meeting with old friends

meet old friends

The weather in October is getting colder.

For Li Shimin, it was actually quite easy to hide in the north of Anrong Pass at first.After all, the location of Li Shimin's hiding place is in the mountains and forests, and it is deep in the mountains and old forests, not a place where people gather.Therefore, Li Shimin and his party have never been discovered.But such a good day only lasted more than half a month.

The whereabouts of Li Shimin and his party were still exposed.

Xia Guo's army arrived suddenly.

An encounter took place, and Li Shimin and his party were caught off guard, and part of the army was lost. Fortunately, Li Shimin was located in a deep mountain and old forest. Du Qi's pursuers.

Only after this incident, Li Shimin lost more than [-] troops.

, Let Li Shimin heartache for a long time.For Li Shimin today, the strength of two thousand troops is also very important.

After Li Shimin escaped, he was blocked one after another.

Or be blocked by the people.

Or be blocked by Xia Guo's army.

The whereabouts of the army could not be kept secret at all. Even if Li Shimin's army entered the forest, it would not take long before they would be discovered again and Li Shimin had to evacuate again.

At such a time, it entered November in a blink of an eye, and the weather became colder and colder.Fortunately, this attack was in the territory of Longzhou, not the Western Regions.If it were in the Western Regions, the weather would be colder, which would be even more unfavorable to Li Shimin and his party.So the current situation is not bad, it is not particularly difficult, at least it can persist.

While Li Shimin was struggling, a carriage came slowly outside the capital of Xia Kingdom.

This carriage went straight into the city.

The person in the carriage was none other than Fang Xuanling, who came with Li Shimin's mission, and wanted to meet Du Ruhui in person, and asked Du Ruhui to come forward to persuade Du Qi, so as to achieve the goal of seeking peace with Du Qi.

When Fang Xuanling entered the city, he was supported by the hidden pillars of the Tang Dynasty.It's just that Fang Xuanling came here in a hurry, but he didn't take a rest, and directly asked someone to drive to Du Ruhui's mansion.The carriage drove for a while, and finally stopped outside Du Ruhui's mansion.Fang Xuanling stepped out of the carriage, shook his robe, looked up at this quaint mansion, somewhat surprised.

Du Qi is the emperor.

As the emperor's father, Du Ruhui's status is extremely noble.However, Du Ruhui's mansion is simple and unsophisticated, neither luxurious nor magnificent, especially Du Ruhui did not live in the palace, which is quite surprising.

But it was also convenient for Fang Xuanling.

Can see Du Ruhui directly.

Fang Xuanling looked up at the sun in the sky, with a look of surprise on his face.It is already November now, in November in Chang'an, if the weather is cold early, it will already start to snow.Even if the cold time is late, it is also biting cold.However, the weather in the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom is quite warm, like an April day in Chang'an.

"Good place, good place!"

Fang Xuanling muttered to himself.

Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and landed on the gate of Du Ruhui's mansion.Fang Xuanling stepped forward in person, his back was slightly bent, but his energy was excellent, and Fang Xuanling himself was in a high position, and his words and deeds were organized.So when he stepped forward in person, the concierge at the door of the room immediately cheered up, not daring to underestimate him at all.

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Please let me know that the late Fang Qiao
