I'm a marquis in Datang

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "I just don't think it's an opportunity. Du Qi is a thoughtful person, extremely steady in his actions, and extremely cunning. Moreover, Du Qi is surrounded by guards to protect him. It's not easy to assassinate him."

Shoot Du Qi, forget it.

That is courting death.

Su Dingfang disagreed anyway.

After Su Dingfang made his decision, he said again: "General Hou, Du Qi can't be provoked. Once you provoke Du Qi, if you can succeed, that's all. If you fail, the consequences will be disastrous. You are aware of the consequences of the battle between you and Du Qi. Now if there is another war, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Hou Junji heard Su Dingfang's words, and sneered, "Inspector Su, since you came to Guazhou early in the morning, you have been extremely low-key, and you have never dared to provoke Du Qi. Is it because you are afraid of Du Qi in your heart that you dare not talk to Du Qi?" Qi is the enemy!"

After a pause, Hou Junji continued: "If that's the case, why stay in Guazhou and not seek the opportunity to be transferred inward. After all, the Western Regions require people to be vigorous and hardworking, rather than just shrinking back. Like you If you are so timid, you might as well go back earlier."

Su Dingfang frowned.

He was not afraid of Du Qi.

If Datang wants to go to war with Du Qi, he is not afraid to go to war with Du Qi, and is more willing to lead troops into battle.But right now the imperial court did not take any action, while Hou Junji wanted to preemptively deal with Du Qi.

This is tantamount to causing trouble by yourself.

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "General Hou, when it comes to positions and titles, you are better than me.

I am taller.I, Su Dingfang, have no control over you, and I have no right to interfere with you.What I want to say is that I, Su Dingfang, am not a timid person. Once His Majesty wants to fight Du Qi, I dare to fight, I dare to rush forward to fight.If you insist on going your own way with this matter at the moment, I will arrange for people to enter Chang'an as soon as possible to inform His Majesty of the matter and ask His Majesty to make a decision. "

After Hou Junji heard it, he flicked his sleeves and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to go up, go ahead. I don't care about your affairs, but you don't want to interfere with mine."

"Different road non-phase plan."

"Farewell!"

Hou Junji's eyes became sharper. When he was in the Western Regions, he was terrified and scared out of his wits by Du Qi.But now Hou Junji felt ashamed when he thought of these things. He was Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, a great general of the Tang Dynasty, and he was actually frightened by Du Qi.

Simply a shame.

The fear of the past has long since disappeared.Up to now, only anger is left in Hou Junji's mind, and only thoughts of revenge are left, and he has already forgotten the past.

What's more, he didn't have to personally come forward for this plan.

Just need to arrange people.

Hou Junji's idea is very simple, even if Su Dingfang sends the letter back to Datang, even if he sends the message to Chang'an quickly, he has already made arrangements for coming and going, and even if Li Shimin wants to stop him at that time, there is nothing he can do. not accept.

He has the right to shoot.

Hou Junji was quite excited in his heart, and even had a faint expectation, looking forward to killing Du Qi.

Su Dingfang looked at Hou Junji's leaving back, and sighed.He did not expect that Hou Junji would be so stubborn.Since he couldn't persuade him, he could only play.Su Dingfang immediately wrote a letter, clearly stating that Hou Junji was going to ambush Du Qi, and then called the soldiers in charge of sending the letter, and immediately arranged for it.

The soldier took the letter and left, Su Dingfang suddenly thought of a possibility, what if the soldier who sent the letter was robbed and killed?

Maybe not.

But make more preparations so that you can be prepared.

Su Dingfang wrote another letter again, calling for another soldier in charge of sending the letter, and asked the soldier to take another road to return to Chang'an quickly, and to tell Li Shimin the news.

Two ways to pass messages to ensure success.

When Su Dingfang arranged everything properly, Hou Junji had already returned to his camp.Instead of arranging an ambush right away, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he mobilized his confidants to take thirty elite cavalry to rob and kill the soldiers who sent the message.

The reason for this is to cut off the news.Originally, after leaving the Governor's Mansion, Hou Junji thought carefully that although he would not accept military orders abroad, he would even

So Su Dingfang arranged for someone to send a letter, and he was able to arrange the assassination of Du Qi in a short time.

The problem is that it is not appropriate to send the news back. What if Li Shimin wants to blame it?

The news was not sent back, but he waited until he captured Du Qi, or beheaded Du Qi, and then reported to the court, that was a great achievement.Even considering the worst case, once the assassination fails, Du Qi will not dare to send troops even if he is angry.

At that time, things will calm down like this, and there will be no extra problems.And even if Du Qi wanted to ask for an explanation, Hou Junji could still say that he didn't know that Du Qi was ambushed by people who hated Du Qi, or by Turkic people.

Either way, it's worth it.

Hou Junji arranged for people to rob and kill the messenger, and once again sent his confidants to the general.

The person who came was Zhou Ziqing, a brave general in the army.Originally Zhou Ziqing was just an ordinary soldier in the army, but Zhou Ziqing is very strong.After Hou Junji found out about Zhou Ziqing's situation, he quickly promoted him, successively.

In a short period of time, Zhou Ziqing became a lieutenant colonel.Moreover, Zhou Ziqing also strived for courage, tamed the soldiers under his command, and won the support of the soldiers, which is extremely capable.

After Zhou Ziqing stood still, he cupped his fists and said, "General Hou."

Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "Zhou Ziqing, you are the general's confidant in the army. You are even more courageous. But, can the general really trust your ability?"

Zhou Ziqing said: "General Hou, you were the one who pulled him up in the end.

Without you, the general will be an ordinary person.Without you, I would still be an ordinary soldier.Without you, I would still be struggling in the army.Because of you, I have today and the glory I have today.For me, General Hou gave me kindness and reinvention.General Hou has no orders, and he is absolutely unambiguous about whether he will be in the water or in the fire.Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, humble jobs have to fight. "

"Good, good, good!"

Hou Junji showed a look of approval on his face, and said: "As expected of the person I will value, he has courage."

Zhou Ziqing said: "General Hou's false praise."

Hou Junji leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "However, Zhou Ziqing, what I was going to arrange for you to do is extremely dangerous. Even if you don't pay attention, your life will be in danger. Have you seriously considered it?"

Zhou Ziqing said, "No need to think about it."

Hou Junji nodded approvingly and said: "Since you have this awareness, I will believe you. According to the news I will get, Du Qi, king of Xia, brought more than a hundred guards for private visits in Xia Guowei. On weekdays, his guards did not follow him. Protected not far away."

"Although after Du Qi arrived at the border, the following guards accompanied him for protection, and the impact was not too great."

"After all, there are not many people."

"Du Qi has come to Rouyuan County now, and it is very likely that he will go to Rouyuan County

The border with Guazhou.So this is our chance to take down Du Qi. As long as we kill Du Qi in one battle or capture Du Qi alive, we can destroy Xia Guo. "

Hou Junji said: "If a large army invades Xia, it will be very difficult to take down Du Qi. The way I thought of was to give you 1000 people, and you take these 1000 people to change their makeup, break them up into pieces and mix them into Rouge. In Yuan County, ambush Du Qi on the way."

"I've already considered the location of the ambush. It's in Fenggu Valley, more than [-] miles east of Rouyuan County."

Speaking of Fenghe Valley, Hou Junji had a proud expression on his face, and said, "I have been studying the topography and landforms of Rouyuan County since I was in Guazhou City, and found that Fenggu Valley is an ambush The best place. It is easy to ambush and attack. At that time, you will be surrounded by 1000 people, and it will be easy to take down Du Qi."

"Zhou Ziqing, do you dare to go?"

There was hope in Hou Junji's eyes.

Zhou Ziqing said without hesitation: "General, the last general will naturally dare to go. Although there are certain risks in this trip, if Du Qi is captured alive, or if Du Qi is beheaded, the meritorious service will be huge. Mo The general should be grateful to the general, because the general trusted me and gave me this opportunity, allowing me to have the opportunity to make great contributions."
