Du Qi said, "Today, Xia Xia has the University of Science and Technology. It has a manufacturing school, a medical school, a mathematics school, and other schools. It is a very comprehensive school. "Although such a university is very professional, it is far from enough to help the military. "On this foundation, I plan to build another university."
Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, and the others knew about the situation of the University of Science and Technology.
Even Li Jing knew about it.
Although Li Jing had never been to the University of Science and Technology, he knew that Xia Xia's University of Science and Technology was extremely powerful. Countless technological products, especially cement, glass, and so on, were developed by the University of Science and Technology. The University of Science and Technology even developed many drugs. Li Jing did not know more about the specifics. However, Li Jing also knew that the importance of the University of Science and Technology was self-evident in Xia Xia.
Li Jing looked at Du Qi and waited for Du Qi to elaborate.
He was a little curious.
What kind of university was Du Qi going to build?
Du Qi continued, "Next, I will build a university called the Great Xia Military Academy. It will teach the art of marching and fighting, as well as the strategy of governing the country. "The military academy will nurture talents in governing the country, generals, and commanders. "The subjects it will open will involve the art of war, strategy, astronomy, geography, and so on. "It will even specialize in infantry, cavalry, artillery, and even engineering. All kinds of soldiers will be involved."
As soon as he said that, Li Jing's face revealed a shocked expression.
Du Qi's arrangement was too amazing.
This was something that had never happened before.
In the past, many strategists, wise men, or generals had their own masters.
The cultivation of the imperial court was mainly for civil officials, such as the Imperial College, the Imperial College, and so on. However, now Du Qi was setting up a military academy specifically to cultivate talents in governing the country and war.
Shangguan Yi and the others also had expressions of admiration on their faces.
They admired Du Qi's foresight and courage even more.
This arrangement was amazing.
Everyone could even imagine that the future principal of the military academy would definitely have students all over the world. Because all the civil officials and generals would come from the military academy. At this moment, everyone knew that Li Jing's future was limitless.
Everyone felt that Du Qi's arrangement was reasonable. This was because Li Jing himself was a military expert. Li Jing was proficient in the art of war and strategy. Taking charge of the military college was the best and most suitable arrangement.
Du Qi said, "The principal of the Military Academy will be Li Jing. When he returned to the Imperial Capital, he would set up the Great Xia Military Academy to recruit students and impart knowledge. The students of the Military Academy are not judged by the number of students, but by the quality. The quality of soldiers is more important than the quantity. This is the fundamental criterion. "
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Li Jing closed his hands and bowed.
A hint of a smile appeared on his originally calm face, as well as a hint of anticipation.
In terms of official position, Li Jing was once an extremely important official. Thus, he was appointed as the chief official of the General Staff Department. Although his rank was the same as that of the Six Ministries, he was not very excited. However, establishing a military academy, becoming the principal of the Great Xia Military Academy, and imparting knowledge, he was extremely happy and excited. This was something that he wanted to do from the bottom of his heart.
Du Qi said, "Get up. Consider the establishment of the Great Xia Military Academy carefully. When we end the battle with the Tang dynasty and return to the Imperial Capital, we must quickly establish the military academy. "
Li Jing said, "This subject obeys the decree."
Du Qi waved his hand and dismissed everyone. Following that, everyone went to do their own things.
After all the arrangements were made, Du Qi remained in the military camp.
In the third month, Du Qi's orders began to take effect. The Tang army that was originally scattered all over Shazhou began to be targeted by the common people. As a result, the Tang army suddenly fell into a situation where they were surrounded by enemies.
In the third month of Shazhou, spring had already returned to the land. The sun began to shine brightly in the sky. All parts of Shazhou were under Du Qi's command.
The Tang army's days in Shazhou were getting worse by the day. Even the troops that Li Ji sent to various places eventually returned to the Forty Miles Marsh. They were all sallow and emaciated. They were rather dispirited.
Li Ji gathered all the people under his command.
All the generals gathered.
Currently, there were only thirty thousand people left under Li Ji's command. Originally, he had more troops. However, he split his troops to fight guerrilla warfare. In the end, it was not effective. The reason was simple. The common people were roped in by Du Qi. All the common people in Shazhou did not care about the Tang dynasty. Instead, they supported Du Qi.
The Tang army split up to fight guerrilla warfare. Instead, they were restricted and in danger.
Li Ji looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we no longer have a foothold in Shazhou. Especially during this period of time, Du Qi's troops have been moving frequently. They are gradually surrounding the Forty Miles Marsh. If not for the fact that the Forty Miles Marsh is extremely vast and full of swamps, which is not suitable for war and large-scale movement, Du Qi's troops would have already arrived. Therefore, I believe that there is no reason for us to stay in Shazhou. We can start to retreat and defend Suzhou. "
Zhangsun Wuji said, "I agree!"
Wei Zheng also said, "I agree too."
The two of them were in charge of planning. They had stayed in the army to help Li Ji deal with military matters. Unfortunately, even if Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were here, they could not turn the situation around. They could only barely stabilize the current situation and ensure that it did not collapse.
Qinqiong was not willing to retreat. He said, "Manager Li, is there no other way?"
Li Ji said, "There is really no other way. If there was any other way, we would not have to retreat. Our original plan was not only to carry out guerrilla warfare in Shazhou, but also to carry out this strategy in Guazhou and even Yizhou. "
"The problem is that Du Qi has a high reputation among the common people. Countless people even respect Du Qi and Du Qi. Under this premise, even if we want to fight guerrilla warfare, the common people will not cooperate. They will target us and even dig holes for our people. On the other hand, we have lost many soldiers. Therefore, Shazhou does not have the value to stay. "
Li Ji said, "Retreat is the only choice."
Qinqiong nodded.
The other generals also expressed their willingness to retreat.
After Li Ji received everyone's agreement, he did not say anything else. He gave the order to retreat. This retreat was not a high-profile one. They quietly left the Forty Mile Swamp and started to head towards Suzhou.
The current Suzhou had not been attacked yet.
Everything in Suzhou was not bad.
Especially the city of Jiuquan County in Suzhou. There were checkpoints and mountains in the west that could form a defensive structure. Therefore, when the army led by Li Ji retreated to Suzhou, they quickly occupied the advantageous terrain and controlled the main checkpoints.
Apart from that, Li Ji recruited soldiers again.
Under the current circumstances, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around, defeat Du Qi, and defend Suzhou just by relying on the thirty to forty thousand soldiers under his command. Thus, Li Ji began to recruit soldiers, hoping to fight another decisive battle with Du Qi.
