A spring rain wet the ground, but only wet.

A misty drizzle did not continue to fall, it stopped after only half a night, the speed of the march was not delayed, the barren desert provided the best place for the Qi army to deploy the formation, even on the way to the march, they also advanced according to the battle formation.

In the vast desert, you don't have to worry about stepping on the dealer, and you don't have to worry about entering a certain village.

"King! The Tang army was already approaching Xiazhou, and the Tang army was waiting for it, and it had no intention of attacking. ”

Exploring the Malay newspaper ahead, Wei Chi Jingde defended Xiazhou, but under the threat of a huge number of bomb trucks, it was not the most appropriate way to defend it.

"Let him keep an eye on it, and send soldiers and horses to investigate around, and he must know the specific situation within a radius of two hundred miles!" Li Yuanji calmly commanded.

Xiazhou, ancient Shuofang County, was founded in the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, built the famous military base of Jilu Sai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out to conquer the Xiongnu, the army passed through from here, and the caravans of the Xiongnu and other countries also passed by in peacetime.

The chicken deer plug is built with stones, it is square, it is located in the west section of the Wolf Mountain, standing on the south side of the gorge mouth, the terrain is extremely dangerous.

But after years of wind and frost, coupled with the passage of time, today's chicken deer plug has long lost its majesty, and a trace of relics can still be seen faintly, and there is almost no military use.

The reason why the chicken deer plug was gradually abandoned was because of the establishment of Toyoshu, which was no longer a frontier place.

The abandoned ancient passes, coming and going, I don't know how many years have left footprints, hard land.

Looking at the gorge ahead, the terrain is gentle, and the sides are not steep, if a large number of bomb throwers are planted on both sides, the troops passing inside the gorge will surely suffer heavy losses.

Li Yuanji also passed by here more than once, so he had already sent troops to both sides to reconnoitre, and after confirming that it was safe, he ordered it to pass.

After here, a day further south is Xiazhou, and then there is the hinterland of Guanzhong.

"I've been away for a year, and now I'm coming back!" Looking at the south, Li Yuanji couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes, Li Yuanji has to sigh at the strength of fate.

Earlier, my immaturity, that kind of whimsical thoughts, almost cost me my life, but after living in a hurry and humbly for more than a year, fate still brought me to this road, and now I look at myself more than a year ago, I only feel that I was so stupid back then.

If he could come a year earlier, he would definitely kill Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng together when he was in Xuanmen, and then he would be the emperor himself.

Although I never wanted to be an emperor, I just wanted to live a rich and prosperous life in peace and comfort.

But that's fate, sometimes it's not just what you want to do, and endless appearance factors will push you to do things you don't want to do.

"The minister has a problem that he doesn't understand, with the strength of the king, he can solve the current problem back then, why was the king indifferent back then?" Su Dingfang always kept such a doubt in his heart, and he wanted to ask many times, but he felt that the time was not right.

Now that they have gone south, they are about to face the main force of the Tang Army, they have the strength to win this battle, and when they arrive in Chang'an, Li Yuanji must ascend the throne and replace Li Shimin, otherwise what is all this doing now?

Now that he has decided, Su Dingfang let go of the worries in his heart and asked this doubt.

He is not the only one, but many others have the same doubts.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Yuanji glanced at it, it was time to pretend to be a wave.

In the past, I could not explain, but now I can't, I have to establish my position as soon as possible, and what do I want to do? In addition to having the same thoughts as Li Shimin, he also wants to become a god-like existence, and it is necessary to establish a godhead, and he also needs to have such a mouth to spread today's conversation.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and the environment determines the character.

"Uh......" Su Dingfang was speechless, you asked so, what should I say?

"After so many years of fighting, killing and killing, I didn't want to continue fighting, I wanted to end this turmoil as soon as possible, so that Datang could restore stability and let the people recuperate. Whoever will be the emperor will be the same for Lone, the crown prince or the King of Qin, anyway, it will not be Lone's turn, and Lone will not want to participate in it anymore......" Li Yuanji said with a dignified voice.

With a generous and righteous gesture, if he didn't know how happy Li Yuanji danced before Xuanwumen, Su Dingfang really believed his words for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If these words get out, even those ordinary people who don't know anything will believe it, and be grateful to King Qi, and those who know a little bit of the inside story will probably scold their mother directly, they have never seen such shamelessness.

Looking at Su Dingfang's expression of disbelief, Li Yuanji laughed: "This is a lie." ”

Immediately, he changed to a serious expression and asked, "Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" ”

Li Yuanji's question made Su Dingfang very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, how to say this thing, the people all believe that there are ghosts and gods, but they have never seen it, and no one says that they have really seen it, at most, they have seen it in a dream.

Li Yuanji asked, he really didn't know how to answer.

"Gu believed, because Gu had seen it with his own eyes, Gu saw the queen mother, and the queen mother asked Gu to leave this matter alone, let the two of them compete fairly, no matter what the final result is, the father will deal with this matter. But Lone didn't expect that he would kill his eldest brother and force his father to give way to him. Li Yuanji looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "Do you know why Lone is still alive?" ”

"There is a force in the king's hands that makes him jealous, once he wants to do something to the king, it is impossible to say who will die first!" Su Dingfang subconsciously replied.

Before, even I didn't know what the power in Li Yuanji's hands was? But after seeing the dark guard, I realized that maybe the dark guard was just one of them, this was the conclusion that he came to after a long time of contact and understanding Li Yuanji's personality, he didn't like to put all his eggs in one basket.

And the whole Chang'an people know that King Qi's channels are wider than Li Shimin's, and many news that Li Shimin doesn't know, King Qi can know first, and even find out some secrets of King Qin's mansion, no matter how King Qin investigates, he will never find any problems.

"Would you believe if Lone told you that there was only one newly formed Secret Guard in Lone's hands at that time?" Since it has been decided to establish a godhead, being able to communicate with ghosts and gods will inevitably have the greatest effect, although there are certain drawbacks to this, but this is a feudal society, and no one cares whether it is reasonable or not.

For now, they can only choose to believe, and thousands of years later, people may have a more unreliable claim that they are traversers, but professional scholars will definitely be willing to believe that they have powerful intelligence agencies in their hands.

Who can control what will happen thousands of years from now?

Su Dingfang shook his head, and he didn't believe it.

"The Secret Guard has only been developed for more than a year, and at first, the Secret Guard was just a means of covering up." Li Yuanji said in a firm tone: "He has also seen the queen mother, so Gu survived, and Gu constantly brought him expectations, so he was able to live until now, but now, he feels the threat of Gu......"

……

Su Dingfang, who listened to the gods, was dizzy, and always felt very powerful.

But he can understand a little, Li Yuanji can communicate with the ghosts and gods, and some of the information back then was not collected by the secret guards, but told by those ghosts and gods, the secret guards were just a channel to cover up the source of information, and with the help of such a still small force, Li Yuanji fooled Li Shimin.

Maybe Li Shimin found out that he was fooled back then, so he did something to Li Yuanji, but today's Li Yuanji is no longer what it used to be, and he can't kill it if he wants to.

Anyway, it feels very tall when you listen to it.

Li Yuanji was talking, but Su Dingfang was not the only one listening, the guards on the left and right also heard these conversations.

And they who believe in ghosts and gods are more likely to worship Li Yuanji even more in an instant, and they can't wait to be a god.

In less than half a day, the news that Li Yuanji was able to communicate with the gods spread throughout the army, and the king of Qi was indeed like a god, even those who didn't believe in it had to question their own opinions.

The intelligence news can be explained by the secret guard, but what about the drought last summer? Li Yuanji predicted that there would be a continuous drought half a year in advance, and looking at this year's situation, there is a chance that it will still be a major drought.

Soldiers are also ordinary people, and they have no culture, even if they are educated, the culture at this time cannot make them not believe in these, even if it is the culture of later generations, it cannot completely explain this problem.

The gods admired by the Han people were their ancestors, and Li Yuanji happened to be convinced by the fact that the late Empress Dou told him.

The Qi army, which was already strong and well-equipped, learned the news, and the entire morale skyrocketed by several levels, which scared even Li Yuanji a little faintly in disbelief.

The gods are not gods are just spiritual pillars, although Li Yuanji said it, the soldiers did not see it.

But their welfare benefits are real, this is the real benefit that Li Yuanji gave them, and on this basis, they unconditionally supported Li Yuanji.

The court of the gods is not the court, when you squeezed us back then, why don't you want to think that you yourself are the court? Why don't you wonder if it's reasonable for you to do this?

In the face of such a high morale, Li Yuanji was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he should come up with something real, waved his hand, and said: "Take Chang'an, the battle merits will be counted separately, everyone will be promoted to one level, those who are killed in battle will be promoted to three levels of merit, and those who are injured, as long as you don't give up on yourself, you will be raised alone for ......a lifetime."

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
