    Su Dingfang's surrender was not in vain, and Du Qi spent so much thought.  He knew that Su Dingfang's ability was extremely outstanding. He was a man with both civil and military skills.  It would be a pity if such a person was thrown to Li Shimin.  So Du Qi tried his best to bring Su Dingfang to the Great Xia Kingdom.

    No matter what means are adopted, as long as the goal can be achieved in the end, it is worthwhile.  Because after Su Dingfang surrendered, as long as the members of the Su family went to the Western Regions, Su Dingfang had no choice.

    Du Qi asked Su Dingfang to stand up, looked at Fu Junheng and said, "Fu Changshi, what about you?"

    Fu Junheng said: "The humble post is willing to surrender."

    Even Su Dingfang has surrendered, so he still has no hesitation, especially since Guazhou City was taken by Du Qi, it is meaningless for him to persist, not to mention that this time the fall of Guazhou was caused by him himself.  Even if he didn't have the idea of ??helping Du Qi, it was because he caused the fall of Guazhou. If he stayed in Datang, he would have to be questioned. It's better to surrender.

    Su Dingfang took a deep breath, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.  Because now that he has surrendered, it is definitely useless to put on airs and even think about being a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, so after Su Dingfang adjusted his mentality, he looked at Du Qi and said, "King Xia, I have a question."

    Du Qi said: "But it doesn't matter."

    Su Ding said seriously: "Although King Xia took Guazhou, in fact, it is almost very difficult to really gain a foothold in Guazhou. The reason is very simple. The reason why the former Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was willing to withdraw troops was because of the nature of the Tang Dynasty.  It has never been attacked, and its interests have never been damaged, so the emperor is willing to retreat under the premise of King Xia's strength."

    After a pause, Su Dingfang said again: "But now, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has been captured by King Xia, and Guazhou has been lost. It is impossible for the emperor to swallow this breath. Once King Xia wants to take Guazhou City as his own, it will inevitably trigger  Great battle. Even if the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are backward, but the Tang Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, it will definitely fight to the end. In the case of losing the territory, if the emperor retreats, it will be a shame and a shame."

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Brother Su is worrying too much, this king has no plan to stay in Guazhou forever."

    Su Dingfang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. You can just call them by their first names. Or, you can also call them directly by the word Ding Fang."

    It is true that he and Du Qi have a personal relationship, but they can't always be like this, and they have to abide by the way of monarch and minister.

    Su Dingfang's real name is Su Lie, and his name is Dingfang.

    Du Qidao: "Okay, listen to you."

    Su Dingfang said that the king is wise, and his mind turned: "The king's plan is to use Guazhou City to bargain with the Tang emperor again, so as to get benefits. In the end, the king still wants to withdraw from Guazhou."

    Du Qidao: "That's what it means. There is no need to humiliate the emperor by seizing Guazhou. This king understands Li Shimin. He wants to be a wise king and create a prosperous world. He must not be stained. If during his reign as emperor, Guazhou  As the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it was captured by me, and the news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. If Li Shimin doesn't take it back, he will not be able to lift his head up for the rest of his life, and he will not dare to be called a Mingjun for the rest of his life."

    After a pause, Du Qidao: "So this king is very clear about this. When Li Shimin arrives, he will compete with Li Shimin, and finally sit down to negotiate peace. Dingfang, what do you think?"

    Su Dingfang was completely in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

    Du Qi's plan is too sophisticated.

    Du Qi is indeed young. Today, he is only in his early twenties.  But Du Qi has never coveted the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor has he been arrogant.  Du Qi was also arrogant, and led his army into the territory of Tang Dynasty without saying a word.  The problem is that Du Qi did it on purpose in order to gain benefits.

    Fu Junheng said seriously: "King Xia, since you are leaving Guazhou City. This Guazhou City is an important town on the western frontier and a distribution center for commerce. It has a lot of wealth and food. Now in the granary, there are  There is a mountain of grain. Taking advantage of the fact that the army of the Tang Dynasty has not yet arrived, I now suggest that you move the grain as soon as possible. Move all the grain and money away. Even if you retreat, it will be a profit."

    Du Qi asked: "How much food do you roughly estimate?"

    Fu Junheng said seriously: "At least two million stones of grain."

    After hearing this, Du Qi thought for a while and said: "Two million shi of grain is indeed a lot. But now the news from Guazhou City has spread to Chang'an. Then the emperor sent troops to Guazhou, at least it will take a month  time, or even longer."

    "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command."

    "There are still tens of thousands of captives to be reorganized into the army, and there are even more people. The consumption every day is extremely huge. Especially some time ago, when ambushing at the border, the soldiers all ate dry food. Now they are supplemented with food and meat.  enough."

     "Under this premise, the consumption is even greater."

    Du Qi said: "So in a short period of time, there is no need to carry the food, and eat it first."

    Regarding food, although Du Qi valued it, it is actually best to have food right now. The soldiers under his command can eat freely, so there is no need to carry it. He will wait for the news of Li Shimin's dispatch of troops before thinking about it.

    Fu Junheng stopped talking, and said: "Since King Xia has made a decision, I will not talk too much. But what about money? There is also a lot of money."

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "For the issue of money, let's reward the soldiers first. Now that Guazhou City has been taken down, all the soldiers have worked hard, so it should be rewarded for their merits."

    Speaking of this, Du Qi looked directly at Shangguanyi, and said, "Shangguanyi, you and Xue Rengui and the others can count together, the awards for the officers and men in the army can be rewarded more. Anyway, the money in Guazhou City is not for nothing. Keep it in  Guazhou City, that's also cheaper than Li Shimin."

    "yes!"

    Shangguanyi responded immediately.

    Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan were also very excited when they heard the words.

    They are all the chief generals in the army. As soldiers, they are the most sympathetic to the soldiers, and they are more aware of the hardships of the soldiers.  And right now there is going to be another battle with Datang, so it is necessary to cheer up the soldiers.

    After some rewards, the morale of the soldiers in the army will be raised to the highest level.

    When it came to the soldiers, Su Dingfang said solemnly: "King Xia, I have a reminder. Now that the army is entering the city, it is still necessary to restrain the soldiers, and not let the soldiers invade the people."

    Before Du Qi could speak, Xue Rengui took the initiative to say: "Don't worry about this, my Xia Guo soldiers have already issued repeated orders. Even if we enter the city, we will not commit any offense."

    Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi also spoke.

    Both of them had to speak together.

    Because for them, the lieutenants and soldiers are the most lovable people, and it is impossible for them to make the lowest mistakes.  After all, the soldiers under Du Qi's command were treated very well, and each soldier was full of energy.

    Shangguanyi said again: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a strategy to appease the people."

    Du Qidao: "Let's hear it!"

    Shangguan Yi said solemnly: "Even if the grain in the granary in the city is supplied to the army, in reality, there will be surplus grain. The minister's plan is to open the granary to release the grain. The king opened the granary to release the grain, not to win over the people, but to let  The people are not hostile to the King. Anyway, it is good to treat food as a favor, and word of mouth will spread the image of the King on the border of Longyou Road."

    After a pause, Shangguanyi continued: "Especially the pacification of the states on the border of Longyou Road, thanks to King Xia. Now, the king has once again opened a warehouse to release grain, and the people are even more grateful for his kindness."

    Du Qi said: "It can be arranged."

    Du Qi doesn't care much about food, because Xia Guo has enough money and food.  So Du Qi directly agreed to the suggestion of releasing food at the moment.  Du Qi discussed the matter with several people again, and asked Shangguanyi, Xue Rengui and others to discuss the rewards for the army's reorganization, and at the same time, the distribution of food and so on.

    Once everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

    Du Qi took a rest now.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
