I'm a marquis in Datang

Tian Buqi said: "This is the first choice at the moment. Give up the common people and completely lean towards ruling Ye Hu."

Tian Chen said: "Teacher, this choice is easy to say. The question is, if I don't care about the life and death of the people and directly conscript three hundred women, how can I explain to the people? How will the people of the entire Gumo Kingdom think of this king. "

"Especially the soldiers guarding the city. Their families were taken captive and their families were bullied, but I made things worse. Why should they serve me?"

"Even once this is done, I'm afraid that the officials of my Gumo country may be easily instigated by Du Qi's people. At that time, those who are loyal to us may rebel."

"The teacher once said that the king is like a boat; the common people are like water. The water will carry the boat, and the water will capsize the boat. Once the life and death of the people are ignored, the people will rise up and rebel."

There was determination in Tian Chen's eyes.

He can't do the thing of abandoning the people.

Tian Buqi sighed: "The king's consideration is reasonable. Because under this premise, it will indeed lead to many uncontrollable situations."

Tian Chen asked: "Teacher, what about the second choice?"

Tian Buqi replied: "The second choice is actually very simple, that is, don't send the women away, and push the death of all Turkic people on Du Qi, saying that it was Du Qi's people who planted the frame, and it was Du Qi's fault." People are moving around in the city. Then, we will mobilize our soldiers and horses to stand ready. If the Turkic people don’t agree, it will be a big deal to break the pot and go to war with the Turkic people.”

After a pause, Tian Buqi said: "After all, we have the support of the people in this city. Once the king raises his arms, there will be countless people supporting the king. Although the Turkic people are large in number, they may not necessarily occupy Advantage."

After hearing this, Tian Chen's eyes lit up, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Not a bad plan.

Tian Chen said: "The teacher's plan is feasible to a certain extent."

Tian Buqi said: "Compared to the first choice of giving up the people, in fact this choice is to fight against Tong Yehu. Because once the Turkic people's life and death are not cared about, and the civilian women are not sent away, Tong Yehu must be Outraged. Maybe Tong Yehu won't go to war with the lord because of the situation, but Tong Yehu will have knots in his heart, and he won't go all out to resist Du Qi."

"Even Turkic riots will become more frequent. Especially right now there is another contradiction, that is, the people still hate Turkic people. At the same time, because the Turkic people are not dealt with, people's hearts will still deteriorate further."

Tian Buqi continued: "If we have a decisive battle with Du Qi in a short period of time, everything will be fine. The problem is that Du Qi stands still and just besieges instead of attacking. The longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for us."

"Ugh…"

Hearing this, Tian Chen couldn't help sighing.

Tian Chen said with emotion: "Teacher, I now understand why Yanqi Prefecture and other places in the Western Regions surrendered in anticipation. Especially when the army of the Tang Dynasty came, with a total of more than [-] troops, they fled in front of Du Qi Return. Du Qi's strength, if you don't meet it yourself, you won't experience this kind of difficulty. Only when we are enemies with Du Qi will we know how difficult it is."

Tian Buqi said: "What the lord said is true. Du Qi's army never attacked, but it is more terrifying than attacking. It is frightening. This is the end of being an enemy of Du Qi."

Tian Chen asked: "Teacher, what about the third choice?"

Du Qidao: "The third choice is actually not a choice. You only need to surrender to Du Qi, and everything will be over. Then all the difficulties faced by the king will be met.

straight away. "

Tian Chen's cheek twitched.

surrender?

Surrender to Du Qi, is he willing?He must be unwilling, because Tian Chen still has thousands of thoughts in his heart. He wants to expand the territory of Gumo Kingdom, he wants to enhance the combat effectiveness of Gumo Kingdom, and he wants to be the unprecedented leader of Gumo Kingdom.He even wanted to run rampant in the Western Regions.Once you surrender, there is nothing, all persistence is gone.

As the lord of the country, Tian Chen has his own persistence, fighting spirit and ideals. When it comes to surrender, Tian Chen fell silent again, unable to make a decision for a while.

Tian Buqi sat down and didn't speak again.

The choice has been placed in front of Tian Chen, how to choose, how to choose, that is Tian Chen's business, and Tian Chen needs to make a choice.Tian Buqi also knows that such a choice is difficult, especially for a person with ideals and ambitions.

Tian Chen clenched his fists, and then let them go.Immediately after, he clenched his fist again, and finally loosened it again, and this was repeated, accompanied by the expression on Tian Chen's face, which changed again and again.

This meant a change in Tian Chen's heart.

After a long time, Tian Chen said: "Sir, I choose the second option and take a gamble."

He recovered his composure.

The title of Tian Buqi was also restored.

When Tian Buqi heard it, he actually felt a little regretful, because in Tian Buqi's view, it is impossible for the Gumo country to win no matter what.Because there are Du Qi's army outside and Turks inside, the situation is already extremely difficult.Under such circumstances, it is a fool's dream to want to maintain the Gumo Kingdom.

It's just that Tian Buqi didn't persuade him. He knew that Tian Chen was a person who couldn't give up once he made up his mind.And he also knows that Tian Chen is the monarch, and the monarch of a country cannot surrender at will.

Tian Buqi said: "Since the lord has made a decision, I support the lord's decision."

Tian Chen said, "Thank you sir."

Chapter 870 Wang Yu is Here

Wang Yu is here

Outside the city, Xiaguo military camp.

Du Qi's tens of thousands of troops stationed here.

The army is lined up, fortified and mighty. Under such a premise, even if the camp is attacked, it is impossible to break it.After all, the layout of the camp was extremely rigorous.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

Du Qi was browsing the latest news, which was sent by Laiji.All the news about Zhao Dengyan was transferred to Laiji through bad people, and then Laiji was responsible for forwarding it.

Zhao Dengyan applied eye drops to Tian Chen and set a three-day condition.Next, it depends on how Tian Chen makes a decision three days later.If Tian Chen doesn't hand over the three hundred civilian women, conflicts will inevitably arise, so there is already an undercurrent surging in the current city of Diaohua.

Conflicts can arise at any time.

After Du Qi finished reading the letter, he arranged for someone to call Shangguanyi over.

This time, Shangguanyi was still accompanying as the main counselor, while Ma Zhou stayed in Gaochang City to take charge of the battle.

Dealing with Du Ruhui's matter, while Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng and others wanted to maintain the operation of the government, so most of them stayed behind.

As for the military, Ma Yuan and Xue Rengui came.

With this army, it is enough!

Shangguanyi entered, bowed and saluted, and then sat down in the tent.

Du Qi handed the letter to Shangguanyi to read, after a while Shangguanyi finished reading it, and said, "Your Majesty, Laiji is cooperating with Zhao Dengyan in the city, and he is doing very well! According to this momentum, it won't take long , Tian Chen will have internal strife with the Turks. Once the two sides are at war, it will be easy for us to take down the county."

Du Qi said: "Laiji is indeed doing well. As long as he cooperates closely with Zhao Dengyan to instigate the situation and create conflicts, sooner or later the city will be destroyed."

Shangguanyi said: "However, Tong Yehu gave the conditions, asking for three hundred women, and asking Tian Chen to give him an explanation. This matter is a choice. According to his humble position, Tian Chen may have three choices."

Du Qidao: "Which three kinds?"

Shangguanyi said: "The first choice is to succumb to Tong Yehu and let Tong Yehu toss. Not only is he going to give Tong Yehu an explanation, but also hand over the women. This arrangement is tantamount to disregarding the common people. life and death."

"The second option is to ignore Tong Yehu, or even threaten Tong Yehu, and start a war if you want to start a war. It looks like a smashing pot. The third option is to submit to the king and use the power of the king to destroy Tong Yehu. Ye Hu. After all, the ruler Ye Hu is now extorting violently in the city, and his soldiers have robbed countless people, causing countless people to be injured."
