I'm a marquis in Datang

It was not in vain that he valued Wei Shuyu so much.

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Wei Shuyu sighed inwardly, he knew that persuasion would be impossible, even if he had made preparations and had already done Fang Xuanling's ideological work, as long as Li Shimin agreed to Fang Xuanling's coming, Fang Xuanling would join in the persuasion, but Li Shimin The intention has been made, so there is no way at all at the moment, but to withdraw sadly.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu's leaving back, and sighed in his heart.Why didn't he know that arranging a retreat is the most suitable arrangement at the moment, but Li Shimin doesn't want to retreat now.

He wants to fight the whole battle.

He, Li Shimin, has made great achievements and is an invincible person galloping on the battlefield.He is not Li Paopao, who runs fast when he meets Du Qi, so he will not retreat this time.

Chapter 1333 Auxiliary advance team

Auxiliary advance team

In March, the weather gets hotter.

The army led by Du Qi has already gone all the way south, reaching the southernmost border of Jiangnan Road.In these places, even in March, the weather is hot.Even when the sun shines on people, there is a burning feeling.However, in the south, the temperature difference between day and night is also a bit large, and it is very cool in the morning and evening.When marching during the day, the sun was very hard.

Du Qi rode on the road, and the team under his command was mighty and magnificent.It's just that the roads in the south of the Yangtze River are not as vast as in the north, and there are country roads everywhere. The team of more than [-] people is already winding and long, which makes the team very long.

After all, there are many water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they are close to Lingnan, they are almost the same.

This journey is not as easy as Beidi.

"Report!"

At this moment, soldiers rushed over.

The soldiers came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, the bridge ahead has collapsed. Our army is temporarily unable to continue on its way.

Wait for the road to be repaired before moving on. "

Du Qi said: "Got it."

He waved his hand, and the soldiers turned and left, while Du Qi ordered the army to rest in place.Now the soldiers are resting in place, because the sun is still shining on people, and they still feel hot.

Du Qi found a tree and hid from the sun under the shade.

This waited for nearly an hour and a half.On the river ahead, a pontoon bridge has been built to allow the troops to continue on their way.However, such a pontoon bridge cannot drive smoothly like a bridge.When Du Qi rode forward and came to the location of the temporary pontoon bridge, he looked around and frowned.

Du Qile's horse stopped, he backed away sideways, let the soldiers continue on their way, and said: "The bridge here should be a wooden bridge. Even if it is wooden, although it is spring in early March, the river is not rushing. The river water is not rushing, and the river water has never flooded. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the river flooding to destroy the bridge. The biggest possibility is that it was damaged by man."

Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I agree with your majesty's analysis. I guess it should be Li Shimin's side, in order to stop us

When going south, they specially arranged for people to destroy the bridge with the intention of delaying time. "

Ma Zhou echoed: "It's very likely that's the case. After all, Li Shimin's troops are insufficient. What Li Shimin can do now is to delay the time. One more day of delay will mean one more day of dying."

Du Qi rolled his eyes, thinking in his heart.

After a while, Du Qi said: "If our inference is true, then the destruction of this bridge cannot be the end, but a beginning. Follow up and go south, approaching Shaozhou, Lingnan Road, and the bridges and roads along the way will definitely be blocked. , so as to stop us. This matter must be dealt with in advance."

Ma Zhou said: "It is actually not difficult to deal with this matter. In our army, there are special auxiliary soldiers. The existence of these auxiliary soldiers can build bridges and pave roads, and can quickly open roads. They will go south first, and take the soldiers who meet along the way." solve the problem. Then we will not be hindered in our journey."

Shangguanyi echoed, "Your Majesty, I agree with Ma Zhou's suggestion. This is the most suitable arrangement."

Du Qi said: "Yes!"

Immediately, Du Qi called Xue Rengui and asked him to dispatch a team of assistants.

The soldiers rushed forward first.However, in addition to the auxiliary soldiers, Xue Rengui also specially arranged [-] soldiers as vanguards to protect the auxiliary soldiers from advancing.After all, auxiliary soldiers are not combat soldiers in the army. When it comes to combat effectiveness, they are not comparable to standing soldiers.There are specializations in the art industry, and the direction of auxiliary soldiers is different.

Xue Rengui made arrangements, and the team continued on their way.

Continue to go south.

The team headed southward in a mighty way, arriving at dusk, at this time the distance to Lingnan Road was getting closer and closer.It was getting late, and the team found an open and open area to stop and camp to rest.

At the same time, they began to bury the pot and cook.

Du Qi, Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou, Guan Zhilan and others were also sitting together, enjoying the cool breeze.Du Qi sat down, and when he was sitting by the fire, he heard a buzzing sound coming from his ears, and there were mosquitoes around.

Du Qidao: "The further south you go, the more and more mosquitoes. There are more mosquitoes, which is a great test for soldiers. In the army, you can find some fresh wormwood and ignite it to produce smoke. In this way, it can drive away Some mosquitoes."

This is the easiest way.

Of course, according to the situation of future generations, we should directly spray mosquito medicine,

Even lighting mosquito coils or spraying toilet water on the body is even more direct.But it is impossible at the moment. Without this condition, we can only adopt the simplest and most primitive means.

Shangguanyi nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has made arrangements. After all, when going south, mosquitoes and the like will definitely be considered, so soldiers in the army will light some wormwood to create smoke to drive away mosquitoes."

Du Qi said: "That's good."

Du Qi chatted with Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou, and Guan Zhilan, but at this time a soldier came to Shangguanyi's side, whispered something to Shangguanyi, Shangguanyi got up and said: "Your Majesty, I have to go Deal with it."

Du Qi asked, "What's the matter?"

Shangguanyi said: "It was a little quarrel between the soldiers in the army and the auxiliary soldiers. Xue Rengui arranged for someone to send a letter and asked me to deal with it. After all, Xue Rengui handles these matters very simply and roughly, and he cannot handle them carefully. He thinks This matter must be handled properly, please let me go."

Du Qidao: "What is the conflict?"

In general matters, Xue Rengui as a general, especially Xue Rengui

He has been in charge of the First Army for many years, and he has his own abilities, so Shangguanyi does not need to come forward for general matters.

This time, Shangguanyi needed to come forward, Du Qi was quite curious.

Shangguan Yi said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is because the soldiers under Xue Rengui's command say that the auxiliary soldiers are not capable enough, they don't go into battle to kill the enemy, they don't fight with their heads in their hands, but they receive a generous salary."

"That was the original dispute."

"Then talking and talking, the two sides had a dispute, which further evolved into a fight. Even in the end, the auxiliary soldier actually beat the soldier, but the soldier who was in charge of fighting lost to the auxiliary soldier."

"As a result, the conflict is even worse."

Shangguanyi said: "Xue Rengui has suppressed this matter now, but Xue Rengui believes that this matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, it will happen again in the future, so he arranged for someone to come and invite the minister to go and settle this matter. Handle it properly."

Du Qi frowned when he heard that.

Auxiliary soldiers are actually engineers.

Responsible for building bridges and paving roads, burying pots for cooking,

complicated things.The rest of the standing soldiers will charge forward when fighting on the battlefield.Standing soldiers and auxiliary soldiers complement each other and are indispensable.Although the division of labor is different, in fact the importance is indispensable.

Du Qi said: "Let's go and have a look."
