I'm a marquis in Datang

"Yes!"

Yang Buqi agreed.

Du Qi waved his hand, Yang Buqi turned around and retreated.

After Du Qilue thought about it, he ordered Guan Zhilan to call Shangguanyi, Ma Zhou and Lai Ji, and Guan Zhilan also attended the last seat.Du Qi talked about Chen Youde's affairs in general, and then said: "According to Yang Buqi's inference, Datang is very likely to take action. What do you think of this matter?"

Shangguanyi didn't speak immediately, but thought carefully.Because after Chen Youde broke the news, whether Datang will take action is the first point that needs to be predicted.The second point is how to arrange personnel to enter if Datang takes action.The third point is once Datang wants to make a move, where is the most suitable place.A series of arrangements must be carefully considered.

Shangguanyi, Laiji and Ma Zhou didn't speak, they were thinking quietly.

Guan Zhilan was also thinking.

Now Guan Zhilan is by Du Qi's side as a scribe, in fact, he is also a personal follower.He was the last to come, he was young, and he had seen the abilities of Shangguanyi and the others, and learned about the deeds of Shangguanyi and the others, so he admired the three of them very much.

On weekdays, he calls the three of them Mr., learns from the three of them, and regards the three of them as teachers.

Du Qi is happy to see it succeed.

Guan Zhilan is quite smart and savvy, so Du Qi hopes

Guan Zhilan can learn a lot.

After a while, Ma Zhou spoke first, "Your Majesty, I think the Tang side will definitely arrange people to sneak in and ambush you."

Du Qi said, "What's the reason?"

Ma Zhou explained: "The reason is actually very simple, because the main general of the army stationed in Guazhou is still Hou Junji. Earlier, the eldest grandson rushed to Gaochang City to exchange hostages, and Hou Junji was freed and returned to the territory of Tang Dynasty."

"According to the news sent back by the sentry, after Hou Junji left Longyou Road, he went straight back to Chang'an. The Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty did not dispose of Hou Junji, but instead encouraged him, and then sent Hou Junji to him again. Arrange to come to Guazhou."

"Obviously, this was done on purpose by the emperor."

"Because Hou Junji has hatred for the king, he stayed in Guazhou so that he could train his soldiers and make full preparations for future revenge. If only Su Dingfang was in Guazhou, Su Dingfang was very restrained and calm. , he will never take action. But Hou Junji is different, he was humiliated by the king before."

Ma Zhou talked eloquently, and said with certainty: "That's why I predict that Hou Junji will definitely arrange people to sneak into the territory of Rouyuan County and wait for the opportunity to attack the king after he has gathered the news that the king is on the border of Rouyuan County."

Du Qi nodded and said: "Ma Zhou's analysis is reasonable. Shangguanyi, Lai

Ji, what do you think? "

Shangguanyi said: "I agree."

Lai Ji also said: "Your Majesty, I agree with you."

Seeing this, Du Qi looked at Ma Zhou again, and said, "Ma Zhou, since you have made your first conclusion. What about the follow-up, how do you think Hou Junji will arrange it?"

Ma Zhou pondered for a while, then continued: "Your Majesty, I have a second prediction, that is, the soldiers sent by Hou Junji's side must be broken into pieces. Because of the poisoning, Hou Junji's manpower and voluntary Not enough, I don’t have this ability, I don’t have this ability, I can’t arrange people to get close to the king, and it’s impossible to poison food.”

"So the only way is to ambush. Since there is an ambush, considering the presence of Moledo, it will definitely require a large number of people, at least more than a thousand people."

"With this premise, there is a chance to ambush."

"I predict that Hou Junji's strategy is to break it up into parts. Everyone will gather in Rouyuan County after changing their makeup, and then look for opportunities to ambush the king. It's just that I'm not familiar with the location in Rouyuan County. It’s still impossible to predict where the opponent will make a move.”

Du Qi still nodded in agreement with Ma Zhou's second judgment.Ma Zhou's analysis is not problematic, and it is extremely reasonable.He didn't ask, but looked at Shangguanyi and Laiji.

Shangguanyi arranged for someone to fetch the map, and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Ma Zhou's previous analysis. But I do know the map of the entire Xia Kingdom. When I first entered Xia Kingdom, I learned about the topography along the way, so I am familiar with Rou An overview of Yuan County. According to Ma Zhou’s deduction, the minister believes that if Hou Junji wants to set up an ambush on the Tang side, the place he will choose must be Fenghe Valley, 36 miles east of Rouyuan County. Here is the most Appropriate location."

Du Qi got up and walked to the map, looked at the location of Fenghegu, and said, "Shangguanyi, what's your reason?"

Chapter 926

strategizing

Shangguanyi looked very calm, and said calmly: "Wind Valley Valley, there are weathered valleys on both sides, and there is only one road to reach the easternmost part of Rouyuan County. When ambushing on this mountain, because of the surrounding It is a weathered place, sparsely populated, almost impossible to find."

"Only here is the most suitable ambush location. Except for the Wind Valley, there are no other suitable ambush opportunities. Therefore, I judged that Hou Junji is very likely to set up an ambush here."

Shangguanyi continued: "For Hou Junji, on the one hand, he has a deep enmity with the king, and wants to get rid of it. On the other hand, Hou Junji must know that the king is the core of the Xia kingdom. If he can kill the king, The state of Xia is bound to be precarious and turbulent. Even if the state of Xia has grenades and other weapons at that time, the turmoil of the people may not be able to stop the Tang Dynasty. Although this arrangement will be extremely dangerous. But Hou Junji will not consider the overall situation like Su Dingfang , he will definitely choose to shoot."

Du Qi looked at the map carefully, and said after a while: "What do you think about Shangguanyi's suggestion?"

Ma Zhou said, "I agree."

Lai Ji echoed, "I also agree."

Guan Zhilan stood aside, looking at Shang Guanyi, Ma Zhou and Lai Ji, his eyes were full of admiration, and his face showed admiration.Because the three of them, Shangguanyi, are so powerful, everything can be deduced.

This is truly strategizing.

When this incident might start, the three of Shangguanyi had already deduced many possibilities, and finally came to a conclusion, and arranged Hou Junji clearly.This inference has comprehensively considered Hou Junji's disposition, situation, etc., and has taken all factors such as time, location, harmony, and psychology into consideration.

Guan Zhilan has read military books. When he was studying, he mentioned "Sun Tzu's Art of War". "If you count too much, you won't win if you count too little, and what's more, if you don't count?"

At that time, Guan Zhilan felt that this thing was fake, how could he judge everything clearly.But now, Guan Zhilan has really seen it, and he has a clear understanding in his heart, so his expression becomes more humble.Guan Zhilan knew clearly that this was his opportunity, and if he seized this opportunity, he would definitely be able to learn something.

Du Qi said solemnly: "Since everyone agrees with Shangguanyi's analysis, the next step is our response. Fenghegu may be ambushed, how should we deal with it. In addition, how to deal with it later?"

Du Qi agreed with the analysis of the three of Shangguanyi.

So respond.

Ma Zhou's eyes were sharp, and he continued, "Your Majesty, since you know that Fenggu Valley may be ambushed, it's actually relatively simple to deal with it. Someone is in the valley and then attacks us. The humble plan is to lure the snake out of the hole."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhou immediately expounded a detailed layout, explaining all the details clearly.After everything was finished, Ma Zhou said solemnly: "My lord, the general plan is like this, please make a decision."

Du Qidao: "Ma Zhou's plan is very detailed, and it is indeed good. Right now, we will proceed according to this plan."

"Yes!"

Ma Zhou responded immediately.

Shangguanyi took over the words and said, "My lord, it won't be so difficult to take down this group of people who want to ambush us. I think this is an opportunity to attack Datang again. We have maintained peace with Datang so far. But No matter what, Great Tang is absolutely eyeing my Great Xia Kingdom. If Hou Junji hadn't taken the lead, it would be inconvenient for us to make a move."

After a pause, Shangguanyi continued: "Now that Hou Junji is going to take the initiative to attack, it gives us a chance to plot against him again, and gives us a chance to plot against Datang. The enemy has already put their faces in front of us. If we Twitching and not agreeing,

It would be a pity not to give him a slap in the face as requested. "

Du Qi smiled and said, "Shangguanyi, how do you plan to target Hou Junji?"

Shangguanyi said: "Secretly send an order to Xue Rengui, Ma Zhou and Xiao Yuanqi to mobilize an army of [-] led by the three of them and let them come to Rouyuan County quietly. Once the assassination happens, we will rush to Guazhou and fight in one go." , to the city of Guazhou."

Speaking of this, Shangguanyi said murderously: "At that time, it depends on how Hou Junji will deal with it. The best way is to force Su Dingfang to hand over Hou Junji again, otherwise we will break the county and sweep Guazhou. With Hou Junji in For us, it is an excellent opportunity, and it can intimidate Datang. Of course, it may not be the case, we just act according to the camera. In short, it is an opportunity to enter Guazhou."

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I object."

Du Qi said, "What's the reason?"
