I'm a marquis in Datang

If he can't hold on to Suzhou and loses Suzhou again, he will really lose face

to court.

Changsun Wuji said: "It's just that it's not easy to defend Suzhou! Our current military strength is definitely not comparable to Du Qi in a direct confrontation. After all, the number of troops is insufficient. But if we talk about the situation of defending the city, because Du Qi has weapons to bomb The city is also somewhat difficult. It is not an easy task to achieve the goal of resisting Du Qi."

"Report!"

At this moment, soldiers entered.

The soldier stood still and saluted, "Director Li, the governor of Suzhou is asking to see you."

Li Ji said: "Please!"

The soldiers went to send a message, and after a while, Yan Leisheng, the governor of Suzhou, entered.The former governor of Suzhou was Ye Daosheng, who was promoted by Du Qi, but after Du Qi established the country, Ye Daosheng was directly transferred to Chang'an by the imperial court, and Yan Leisheng was the new one. Governor of Suzhou.

In fact, not only Ye Daosheng was transferred, but the rest of the people who were promoted by Du Qi, such as Yang Huaizhuang, were all transferred away.

All entered the court as officials.

So now in Suzhou, there are no direct descendants of Du Qi in the past, and they are all people arranged by the new airborne.

Yan Leisheng was in his early forties, and he was a typical scholar. At first glance, he had a thin figure, giving the impression of a weak scholar.But in fact, Yan Leisheng's methods are extremely domineering, and his actions are even more radical.In the short time he was in charge of Suzhou, he replaced all the people Du Qi had promoted, even the subordinate officials below.

Completely eliminate future troubles.

This is Yan Leisheng's style and means of doing things.

Yan Leisheng entered the tent, and when he saw Li Ji and others, he bowed and saluted one by one.

Li Ji nodded and said, "Why did the Inspector of Yan enter?"

Yan Leisheng said: "Reporting to Director Li, today, when I happened to be chatting with the officials below, I found a way to guard Jiuquan County in Suzhou."

Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he said, "What way?"

Yan Leisheng said: "Reporting to Director Li, the previous battle with Du Qi was not good.

Whether it is Guazhou or Shazhou, in fact, the official roads outside the city, although concrete roads have been built, there are actually a large number of areas outside the city that have not been paved with concrete roads. "

"As a result, it can give artillery bombing opportunities and gunpowder ambush opportunities. Moreover, the cities of Guazhou City and Shazhou City are weak after all, not as strong as the city of Jiuquan in Suzhou. Therefore, Guazhou City and Shazhou City were attacked. When bombarded, it immediately collapsed. Our Jiuquan is different, the city is tall and strong."

"The idea of ​​the lower officials is very simple. Make full use of cement to reinforce the entire area outside the city. Except for the official road, all the areas outside the city will be paved with concrete roads. And this concrete road must be thicker than ordinary ones. Even adding steel bars to it, even if it is bombed with gunpowder, it will not be able to explode.”

"The city wall is also reinforced in the same way. Cement is applied again, and steel bars are added to make the city wall stronger again. In this way, even if it is attacked, it will not hurt."

Yan Leisheng said: "We prepare enough food, grass, equipment, etc., so we can not be afraid of attack. Du Qi's weapons are powerful, but they are not omnipotent."

Li Ji's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

Annoyed that I didn't think clearly.

Yan Leisheng's plan was extremely simple, but he hadn't thought of it.

The same goes for Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.

Because three people, or more people, have fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that Du Qi's weapon is invincible.But now they suddenly discovered that Du Qi's weapons are powerful, but they have a limit.

In the battle of Guazhou, the city collapsed; in the battle of Shazhou, the city still collapsed.So much so that everyone thought that the city could not stop Du Qi's weapon, but in fact, it was not the case.In fact, the cement road about two feet wide on the official road outside can also resist weapons.

It's just that outside of the official road, weapons such as mines can be ambush.

Li Ji stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Yan Lei, saying: "Inspector Yan, your news is really important. These words wake us up like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening. If you If you say these words, two or three months in the morning, then the battle between my Tang Dynasty and the Xia Kingdom will not be like this. This battle, my Da Tang

Tang was wronged. "

Yan Leisheng hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. Li doesn't need to do this, this is what I should do. Besides, in fact, this news came to me by accident when I was chatting with the subordinate officials, and I didn't think of these things early in the morning. I got it by chance, so I rushed to tell Manager Li, hoping to ask Manager Li to give it a try."

Li Ji said: "Your news came too timely, it can be called timely rain. If it weren't for your news, our next battle would fall into the curse of the past. Now, it will no longer be affected."

Yan Leisheng said: "That's good, that's good."

There was a smile on his face too.

If he could help Li Ji and Datang's Bingfeng from being defeated by Du Qi, he would do his part.What's more, he is an official of Datang, so he doesn't want Datang to lose.

Li Ji ordered: "Yan Leisheng, the matter of mobilizing personnel to build the cement road in the city area can only be arranged by you. In addition, you will also arrange for the city to be reinforced again, and even the reinforced steel inside. .Need to be arranged by the officer

Where people assist, you speak directly.Anyway, do your best to make it happen. "

"As long as there are obstacles, you will kill them directly."

"No need to report."

"I will explain this matter in front of His Majesty. As long as you can block Du Qi's army by your means, then you will be able to contribute to the imperial court."

Li Ji encouraged: "This is your opportunity, and it is also Datang's opportunity."

"Definitely the mission!"

Yan Leisheng answered immediately.

The expression on his face was extremely serious, and he had an indomitable fighting spirit.Because at the moment, as long as Du Qi's army is stopped outside Jiuquan County, it will be a great contribution to the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Yan Leisheng left, and the atmosphere in the camp eased up accordingly.

Changsun Wuji said: "Director Li, according to Yan Leisheng's arrangement, the entire area outside Jiuquan County will be turned into concrete roads. In this way, the firearms

It loses its great effect.Du Qi wanted to plant mines, etc., and it was impossible even to plant gunpowder.Anyway, right now this is our opportunity. "

Li Ji said seriously: "No matter what, we should be more cautious. What should be arranged must be properly arranged. We must defend this battle. On the basis of defending, we will try to defeat Du Qi again."

Today's Li Ji has changed his strategy.

Hold on first.

Then consider other.

Because today's Suzhou can't stand the toss.Once Suzhou falls, the entire Tang Dynasty may be shaken even more.Therefore, at the moment, it is fundamental to stabilize the overall situation of Suzhou and defend Jiuquan County.

Li Ji, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji joined forces to quickly discuss defensive strategies.

Everything started to be arranged.

At the same time, Yan Leisheng has already made rapid adjustments, using all the personnel under his command that can be used, and building concrete roads on a large scale.

This movement was huge, and the news could not be concealed, so Du Qi'an's sentry in Jiuquan County, in a short time, had already spread the news and sent it back to Du Qi who was entering Suzhou.

Now Du Qi's army has arrived in Suzhou.The strategy adopted by Li Ji is very simple. It is still the same as in Shazhou. It is to gather the troops of Shazhou in Jiuquan County so that they can resist with all their strength.
