    ?

    ? Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Chang'an.

    The palace hall.

    Li Shimin sat directly above, and below him were Prince Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu, Tang Jian, Zhang Liang, Xiao Yu and other important officials of cultural relics, all gathered.  It's just that the expressions on everyone's faces are extremely serious and murderous.  Because Xia Guo's army had already reached the territory of Qizhou, and after Li Shimin withdrew from Longzhou, his troops were weak, so he withdrew directly and returned to Chang'an.

    Li Shimin looked around the crowd and said slowly: "Qizhou has been lost, and now it's January, the coldest weather has passed. Although Du Qi's speed of taking Qizhou was a bit slow, but the victory is steady and there is no hidden danger. Especially  Du Qi slowed down the speed of advancing troops, just because he survived the cold winter. When January passes and spring begins in February, it will be easier for Du Qi's army to advance. It can be expected that Du Qi will arrive in Chang'an in a short time."

    "How do we resist Du Qi's attack now?"

    ?Since Longzhou left, Li Shimin's military strength has weakened, and there are only two or three thousand people around him.  He had retreated into Qizhou before and wanted to use Qizhou's local strength to resist Du Qi again. Unfortunately, Qizhou was in chaos and there was no fighting spirit in Qizhou, so Li Shimin simply withdrew from Qizhou and returned to Chang'an.

    Li Shimin is also quite nervous now.

    Datang has reached a critical moment of life and death.

    If Du Qi's army cannot be stopped, Chang'an, the capital of the Great Tang Emperor, will fall into Du Qi's hands, and the Great Tang will also be destroyed.

    A group of people looked solemn.

    The atmosphere in the hall was very heavy. Many people were watching their hearts, and never spoke.  It was precisely this that made the atmosphere even more dignified, as if the Tang Dynasty had reached its final juncture, and the sun was already waning.

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin said again: "Why, there is no solution?"

    "Your Majesty, I have a copy."

    At this moment, it was Wei Shuyu who stood up.

    Wei Shuyu is also the governor of Mushou's party in the local area, and he returned with Li Shimin before. Although he was not awarded a new official position by Li Shimin, he was deeply trusted and valued by Li Shimin.

    Seeing Wei Shuyu stand up, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Wei Qing, what suggestion do you have?"

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, I suggest moving the capital."

    Wow!  !

    In the hall, there was an uproar.

    When they looked at Wei Shuyu one by one, their eyes were a little shocked, this Wei Shuyu really dared to talk nonsense!  There is absolutely no taboo to dare to speak out such things as moving the capital.

    Wei Zheng was standing in the front row. When he looked at Wei Shuyu, there was a look of helplessness in his eyes.  If this matter is left to him, he will definitely not mention it.  However, Wei Shuyu said it directly.  The first person to speak out will most likely offend Li Shimin, so no one speaks out.  It's not that no one thought of this, it's that everyone dared not speak out.

    Wei Zheng felt that the child was too old to manage.  In the past, Wei Shuyu was a gentleman, an honest and honest child, but now, he is extremely strong, even daring to say anything, too courageous to control him at all.

    As expected, Li Shimin's expression changed suddenly. He looked at Wei Shuyu with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Wei Shuyu, why did you suggest moving the capital? Don't I want Chang'an?"

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, Xia's army has already arrived at Qizhou, and is getting closer and closer to Chang'an. Once Xia's army reaches Chang'an, even if Chang'an's city is strong, can it resist Du Qi? Obviously it is impossible  Yes. Not only because Xia Guo¡¯s army is strong, but also because we lack troops and people¡¯s hearts are fluctuating. At this time, we can only move the capital and leave Chang¡¯an to fight for a chance.¡±

    Li Shimin said: "In the city of Chang'an, we have enough food and equipment. Even the garrison in Chang'an today, because we have strength before, we have nearly 30,000 people. With more than 30,000 troops, with the help of  A strong city, and then order the kings from all over the world. Once a steady stream of troops gathers in Chang'an, and Du Qi travels long distances, it may not be able to break Chang'an."

    In the bottom of Li Shimin's heart, he was unwilling to move the capital, because once the capital was moved away, it would be tantamount to abandoning the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would no longer be complete.

    So Li Shimin refuted directly.

    Wei Shuyu looked solemn, and continued: "Your Majesty also said just now that Du Qi may not be able to break Chang'an. So in His Majesty's heart, he actually thinks that Du Qi's army is coming, and it is very likely to break Chang'an."

    Li Shimin said: "After all, Du Qi's army is powerful, and although I say that I guard Chang'an, I don't necessarily mean that guarding Chang'an is really Chang'an forever, not that Chang'an may fall. If it isIf you are 100% sure of keeping Chang'an, there is no need to discuss it.  Naturally, there are certain risks, that's why Chang'an is guarded.  "

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty is wise."

    Li Shimin continued: "Then what else do you have to say now?"

    Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty, in fact, at present, Chang'an is still unable to be defended. Just now I said what Your Majesty mentioned, that the Xia army may not be able to defend Chang'an.  other rhetoric."

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't matter."

    When it comes to the guarding of Chang'an, it is natural to say the clearer the better. Once there are mistakes, many things will be difficult to deal with.  When Du Qi's army has already approached the city, the situation will not be good if the battle is started at that time.

    Wei Shuyu opened the mouth and said: "First, Xia Guo's army did not go to Chang'an without roots, nor did it go deep into the hinterland, and it was not a long-distance journey. Because Du Qi went all the way to Chang'an, and all the places along the way have already surrendered. Even  Du Qi has won over the people and won the support of the aristocratic family, and the official roads in various places are connected, so he can travel without being affected by the weather."

    "Du Qi's food, equipment and weapons can be continuously transported from the rear. Therefore, even if Du Qi's army stays outside Chang'an for a long time, it will have no effect. Therefore, I believe that once Du Qi's army takes root in Chang'an, it will be a  It is like a giant pillar of the sky, nailed to the outside of Chang'an city, even if Du Qi does not attack, it will be a great threat to Chang'an."

    Wei Shuyu gave the first point of analysis.

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and came to a judgment.  He was aware of the situation, and he also knew that Du Qi was sweeping all over the country in a steady manner, and he had the support of aristocratic families. In addition, Du Qi was originally from the Tang Dynasty, so the people supported him very much.

    Especially when Du Qi marched, the military discipline was always strict, the soldiers never disturbed the people, and gave the people a lot of preferential treatment, so the people supported Du Qi without any future troubles, so food and equipment were continuously sent, and Du Qi could attack steadily.

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "What about the second reason?"

    Wei Shuyu said: "Secondly, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating. Now in Chang'an City, whether it is the common people or the officials, they will compete in private to talk about Xia Guo's attack. When we were in Longzhou and Qizhou before, there were  Many officials passed letters to Du Qi in private, secretly submitting to Du Qi."

    After a pause, Wei Shuyu continued: "Based on this, in fact, in Chang'an City, many officials are divided and have already begun to find a way out for themselves. So at the moment, the hearts of the people in the city must be floating. After the entire army lost  Fighting spirit, when the whole team has lost their fighting spirit, it is really too difficult to stop Du Qi's army."

    Li Shimin's heart sank little by little, and his expression was extremely serious.  Wei Shuyu's words hit the point, the most critical point right now is not how powerful Du Qi is, but that the fighting spirit of his own army has collapsed.  Under this premise, it is quite difficult to completely block Du Qi's army.

    Li Shimin took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and said again: "If you have any questions, feel free to say them all. Right now, we need to discuss the issues thoroughly so that we can make arrangements." (Remember the website website: www  .hlnovel.com
