    ?

    Li Shimin's large-scale withdrawal of troops has already set the final tone of this battle.

    Li Shimin, defeated!

    Datang, defeated!

    When the army quickly withdrew, the Xia army behind was also quickly pursuing.  The two sides chased and fled, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in Guazhou City.  But Li Shimin didn't dare to enter Guazhou City now, but left with the army in a hurry.

    When Li Shimin was evacuating, Changsun Wuji was always by Li Shimin's side.  Changsun Wuji saw the Xia State army chasing from behind, and while riding his horse, he shouted: "Your Majesty, the current situation is unfavorable. Do you want to send the accompanying Xuanjia Jingqi to attack, let Xuanjia Jingqi intervene in the battlefield, and counterattack?"  Du Qi's pursuer."

    "No!"

    Li Shimin refused without even thinking about it.

    The Xuanjia Jingqi is the last resort, especially after Li Shimin saw the giant elephant in Du Qihao's hands, he knew that even if he had the Xuanjia Jingqi, he would be invincible.  In front of the elephant soldiers, even if the Xuanjia Jingqi went out to fight, they would only be pressed to the ground and rubbed against each other.

    At this time, we can only retreat.

    When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he stopped talking and could only retreat with Li Shimin.

    The team kept withdrawing.

    Time passed, and soon it was far away from Guazhou City.  After all, the gates of Guazhou City have been bombed and the city has fallen.  Li Shimin led the army to enter the garrison again, which was asking for a dead end, so the army led by Li Shimin fled all the way and went directly to the direction of Shazhou to deal with it.  When Li Shimin ran to the border of Guazhou and approached Shazhou, the army stopped, and there were no pursuers in the rear.

    Li Shimin got off his horse, heaved a long sigh of relief, and ordered to rest on the spot.

    At the same time, an order was ordered to count the losses.

    In less than half an hour, the number of troops under Li Shimin's command had all been counted.

    Changsun Wuji came to Li Shimin's side, with a sad expression on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, the losses of this battle have been counted. Our army only has more than 30,000 people and 5,000 unused troops.  Xuanjia Jingqi. The rest of the army either fled, was beheaded, or was captured by Du Qi. The army of more than 200,000 was completely defeated."

    Li Shimin's complexion suddenly changed.

    The loss is too great.

    You must know that when Li Shimin sent troops, there were more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and even counting the power of Goguryeo, Silla, and Turks, there were 300,000 troops.  Up to now, there are only more than 30,000 people left.  Especially after losing this battle, Guazhou must be lost, and it is impossible to regain it.

    Li Jing is gone too.

    Duan Zhixuan also died.

    Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, the territory was also lost.

    Li Shimin's mood is extremely bad, his mood fluctuates, and his heart is even more depressed.  At this moment, Li Shimin even lost all hope, feeling that life would be worse than death.

    Suddenly, Li Shimin only felt a sweetness in his throat, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.

    Li Shimin's energy suddenly deteriorated a lot.

    Very decadent.

    Changsun Wuji hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, we have just lost the first battle with Du Qi. The Tang Dynasty is rich in natural resources and national strength. Even if we lose this battle, we still have a chance to turn the situation around. Your Majesty  , don¡¯t care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, we can still fight again.¡±

    Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Auxiliary machine, the loss in this battle is too great. Li Jing fell, Duan Zhixuan was killed, and nearly 300,000 troops were lost. Not even one out of ten survived. I have fought for decades, and there has never been one  Such a big defeat!"

    Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt sad in his heart.

    Even more sad.

    Changsun Wuji said with relief: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to be decadent. Du Qi's place is extremely ruthless and a murderous person. Now that he has won Guazhou, he will definitely continue to attack. We must consider how to deal with it now."  The strategy. Your Majesty, please cheer up and get ready to fight again."

    Following Changsun Wuji's words, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others on the side also spoke one by one, all encouraging Li Shimin to cheer up, because the Tang Dynasty cannot live without Li Shimin.

    Datang, don't be chaotic.

    As a monarch, Li Shimin cannot mess up his own position.  Once Li Shimin panicked and ignored government affairs, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Li Shimin looked at the expectant eyes and the worry in each eye, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi and I will never give up."

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "Don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do. Right now, it's not a time to be sad, and I know to brace myself to deal with it."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Your MajestyThe coach's arrangement can be used as the first choice.  Once this plan cannot be arranged, how should it be arranged?  Who is the head coach.  "

    When Changsun Wuji heard this, he knew it was done.

    Li Shimin has already agreed.

    Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, if something goes wrong with Li Xiaogong, he will not be able to go out as the commander-in-chief. Next, I think the most suitable person to lead the army is Li Ji. Although Li Ji is not as good as Li Xiaogong  The prestige of Li Shentong, Li Shentong and others cannot compare with Li Jing's influence. But Li Ji is a Confucian general who can not only govern the army, but also govern the locality. Only such people can lead the army to stabilize the situation."

    Li Ji is also well-known in history.

    is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

    Li Ji's original name was Xu Shiji. After he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan bestowed the national surname, so he changed his name to Li.  When Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor, he changed his name to Li Ji because he avoided the word "Shi" in Li Shimin.

    In the romance novels of later generations, Li Ji is Xu Maogong, the military adviser of Wagangzhai, which can be said to be exhaustive.

    This is a very powerful person.

    After hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, appoint Li Xiaogong as the commander-in-chief and Li Ji as the deputy commander-in-chief. When I return to Chang'an, I will personally arrange this matter. At that time, I will send a decree to Li Ji and inform him that if there is any change  If Li Xiaogong is not willing to be the commander in chief, he will appoint Li Ji as the commander in chief, and command the army to meet Du Qi's army."

    Changsun Wuji praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Wei Zheng also said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    After Li Shimin made up his strategy, he didn't delay any longer, and mobilized Xuanjia Jing to evacuate with his hands.  However, Li Shimin wanted to evacuate. For the time being, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng would not leave, because during Li Shimin's departure, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were responsible for stabilizing the situation in Guazhou, and even organized troops to resist Du Qi's army.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
