I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Jing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's enter the city first."

"Yes!"

Su Dingfang answered immediately.

Immediately, Su Dingfang, Zuo Xianfeng and Li Jing led a mighty army into the city.

There is nothing surprising about the entry of ordinary soldiers into the city, but the most shocking thing is the entry of the Xiang army.Giant elephants one after another appeared in the city, causing a sensation immediately.Because the vast majority of people, in fact

In fact, I have never seen an elephant, but now I am shocked when I see it.Not only admiration, but even fear.

The army arrived at the location of the barracks, and all the troops entered the camp.

Together with Li Jing, Su Dingfang and Zuo Xianfeng, they went to the big tent of the Chinese army to have an audience.

Du Qi looked serious, nodded and said: "Su Dingfang, you and Zuo Vanguard worked together to wipe out all the countries in the south of Tianzhu in a short period of time. Now the entire territory of Tianzhu belongs to the territory of our Xia Kingdom. The two of you have contributed a lot."

Su Dingfang said modestly: "Your Majesty praises Miao, one of the reasons why this battle can be won quickly is because when Your Majesty commanded the army, the monarchs of all countries died on the border of the Magadha Kingdom. The caste system was overthrown by the uprising. So our army went, adapted to the situation, and directly won the final victory."

The left vanguard echoed: "Your Majesty, what General Su said is true. Even the elephant soldiers under my command are ready for this attack.

In the beginning of the war, when you were in the south of Tianzhu, the number of times you participated in the battle was limited, and there were no more than five battles in total.Most of the time, as soon as the soldiers of our Xia Kingdom arrive, all regions will directly submit to them. "

Du Qi said: "Both of you have made great contributions in this battle, especially in this battle with Li Shimin, the arrival of the first batch of elephant soldiers played a decisive role in the victory. Otherwise, it will not be easy to defeat Li Shimin's army."

Su Dingfang and Zuo Xianfeng laughed when they heard this.

It was Su Dingfang's proposal to arrange for the elephant soldiers to act first.As for the elephant soldiers, they are under the management of Zuo Xianfeng, so both of them have made meritorious service in this matter.

After Du Qi praised him, he ordered: "When you first arrived in Guazhou, you should each go to rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, the army will swear an oath to prepare for the expedition."

"Yes!"

Su Dingfang and the left vanguard went down together.

The two came from the south of Tianzhu, and the journey was not easy.

Concerned about the situation on the battlefield, he has been on his way quickly.Now that I have finally arrived in Guazhou, I am quite exhausted.

Take a day off to refresh your mind.

Su Dingfang, Zuo Xianfeng and Li Jing retreated, the three of them left the camp, Zuo Xianfeng went to find Xue Rengui, after all he was brought out by Xue Rengui, now that he is in the army, he wants to talk to Xue Rengui to talk about the past.

Su Dingfang followed Li Jing to Li Jing's camp.

The two sat down separately.

Li Jing took out a jug of wine, poured it for Su Dingfang, and said, "I have received a reward from Your Majesty, and I still have a small amount of wine here. Especially this wine, it can be called fine nectar. The weather is cold now, and you are tired from running all the way. Drink a little Wine, to warm up the body and relieve fatigue."

Su Dingfang said: "Thank you, Teacher."

He picked up the wine, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp, because the wine had a higher alcohol content and was stronger, but the taste of the wine was extremely mellow and soft in the mouth, and his whole body felt a little more comfortable.

Su Dingfang had drunk this wine, after all, Du Qi's subordinates had the latest purified wine.Du Qi would use it when hosting banquets, and would also give drinks as rewards on weekdays.

Su Dingfang said: "Teacher, after you surrendered to His Majesty, what position do you hold under His Majesty's command?"

Li Jing said: "There is no arrangement yet."

Su Dingfang said: "It seems that His Majesty's arrangement for the teacher has to wait until the end of this battle. At the beginning, the disciple surrendered to His Majesty, and he did not get the arrangement until the end of the war with Datang. However, the teacher's arrangement here is difficult for the disciple to guess. , after all, the teacher's identity is different from ours."

Li Jing stroked the beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what your official position is. Since you submit to His Majesty, you don't have to worry about other things. What's more, Your Majesty is a wise king with outstanding intelligence. It is impossible for him not to arrange for me and not to worry."

Su Dingfang said: "What the teacher said is true."

After a pause, Su Dingfang continued: "I got the news, Mr.

The family members of the master have already gone to the imperial capital.I have sent a letter back before, and when the teacher's family members arrive, Jiannei will be in charge of making arrangements.At that time, the teacher's family members will be in the imperial capital, so they can avoid some detours.After all, I first surrender to His Majesty and understand His Majesty's situation. "

Li Jing said with a smile: "This is the best. Speaking of which, it's the old man who got your credit."

Su Dingfang said: "Teacher beat me to death."

As soon as Li Jing changed the subject, he returned to the main topic: "Tomorrow we will discuss the plan to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty. The battle between the Xia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more fierce. It is expected that His Majesty will not encounter too much difficulty in attacking the entire Western Region this time. So when His Majesty arranges tomorrow, you should try to call for the battle as early as possible, this is an excellent opportunity."

Su Dingfang said: "Teacher, don't worry, the disciple understands."

Li Jing didn't say any more.

Regarding the arrangement of the war, Su Dingfang is actually a veteran general and does not need Li Jing's instructions.The difference between Li Jing and Su Dingfang is that Su Dingfang is still young, and it is time to pursue fame and fortune.But Li Jing has already passed

At this stage, Li Jing's current situation is that he hopes to take care of his family more and strive to realize his personal ambitions.

Everything else is secondary.

The master and apprentice reunited after a long absence, and they hadn't chatted for a long time. Now that they met, they had a lot to say, from the changes in the Tang Dynasty to the development of the Xia Kingdom, and then from personal affairs to the current Xia Kingdom's official affairs.

All in all.

Chapter 1112 Li?

Li Ji conspired

One day is fleeting.

The next day, early in the morning.

Du Qi summoned all the civil and military generals under his command and announced his decision to attack Shazhou. At the same time, he agreed on the strategy of sending troops. Su Dingfang took the initiative to call for battle as a vanguard, and the army went out.

In fact, during this period of time, Du Qi's people had already contacted Wei Shuyu, hoping to let Wei Shuyu work for Du Qi.However, Wei Shuyu directly refused, the reason is very simple, Wei Shuyu is the son of Wei Zheng, and even Wei Zheng stayed in Datang, so it is impossible for Wei Shuyu to betray Datang.Even if the Wei family and the Du family were related by marriage, it was impossible for Wei Shuyu to submit to Du Qi at will.

The army traveled extremely fast, and in less than two days, they had already reached the border of Shazhou.Now in Shazhou, because of Li Shimin's defeat before, there are not many troops. Even though countless soldiers from the Tang army who fled later rushed to the government of Shazhou, the strength gathered by Shazhou Governor Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others was only [-]. Yu people.

Compared with Du Qi's army, this force is insignificant.

For this reason, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng agreed to give up the various places in Shazhou and guard Shazhou City with all their strength to ensure the existence of the Shazhou Governance and prevent Shazhou from falling.

So Du Qi's army entered Shazhou territory, and the journey went smoothly.

Never encountered any obstacles.

When the army led by Du Qi continued to march towards the sandbar, the army led by Li Ji on the other side had already come from the Tang Dynasty, entered the Longyou Road, and arrived at Shazhou City at exactly this time.

The army arrived and entered the city directly.

As soon as Li Ji entered the city, he, as the commander of the army, summoned all the civil and military officials.

Changsun Wuji was a little surprised to see that it was Li Jilai.
