I'm a marquis in Datang

Hou Junji laughed while stroking the beard under his chin, and said with satisfaction: "You have this fighting spirit, I would be very pleased. Zhou Ziqing, I will wait for you in Guazhou City

Good news for a triumphant return. "

Zhou Ziqing said: "I promise to complete the task."

Hou Junji nodded, and Zhou Ziqing had already left.And Zhou Ziqing finished selecting soldiers in just half an hour, led the team and left, all the way west to Rouyuan County.

This news was also discovered by Su Dingfang's sentry, and the news was quickly sent back to the Governor's Mansion.

When Su Dingfang found out, he was furious.

Hou Junji is too stupid.

Completely regardless of the situation.

Datang and Du Qi's Xia Kingdom finally returned to calm, and the two sides developed independently.Now, one move of Hou Junji is tantamount to provoking a war, causing war in Guazhou to resume.But Su Dingfang was helpless, because he couldn't stop Hou Junji, after all Hou Junji's army formed its own system.Especially Hou Junji's official position is bigger than him.

Su Dingfang could only arrange for the order to go on, ordering the soldiers in Rouyuan County to closely monitor Du Qi's whereabouts, and at the same time pay close attention to how Hou Junji's people acted.

At dusk in the afternoon, a spy hurried back to the study, stood still in front of Su Dingfang and said, "Inspector Su, a messenger we arranged to send a message to Chang'an has been robbed and killed. The news on him has also been brought Walk."

"hateful!"

Su Dingfang was very angry when he heard this.

If Hou Junji wanted to intercept the news, he could have taken down the messenger soldiers, but now he killed them with his hands.

This is too harsh.

Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes and said, "Hou Junji, you can't blame me for your behavior. You asked for all of this. I will truthfully report your actions to Your Majesty."

Immediately, Su Dingfang drew up another memorial, ordering the spies to send out at a speed of [-] miles, and worked day and night to try to catch up with the sentry who sent the message.

Chapter 929 Coincidence

coincidence

Chang'an, the imperial city.

This nine-fold deep palace is the power center of the entire Tang Dynasty.All the officials in the world are eager to get a place in it.Because they can be ranked in the court, they are not officials the size of a sesame seed, they are all people in the center of power.

In the main hall, Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs.

Today's Li Shimin has long become the supreme of Datang, and his control over Datang has been further strengthened, and he is no longer worried about internal troubles.What Li Shimin is worried about now is Tubo in the west.The reason is very simple, Tubo Zanpu Gongga was supported by Du Qi.

Once Du Qi is attacked, Gongga will not sit idly by.Therefore, Li Shimin really wanted to destroy Gongga and take Tubo.It's just that the destruction of Gongga did not happen overnight, and when it came time to start a war with Tubo, perhaps Du Qi might intervene in the battlefield to change the situation.

As a result of the discussions between Li Shimin and the officials of the DPRK and China, he changed his plan of destruction, and instead first wooed Tubo, hoping that Tubo would be used by the Tang Dynasty.As long as Gongga stands on the side of Datang, then the west side of Datang will be safe.

This is helpless.

It's also impossible.

While Li Shimin was handling government affairs, Changsun Wuji hurried in.With a dignified expression, he bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Sun Wuji, my minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

After Changsun Wuji took his seat, he said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Tubo, which is bad news."

Li Shimin said: "What's going on?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoys we sent to Tubo in the Western Regions intended to persuade Gongga to make Gongga and Datang an ally, so that Gongga would no longer serve Du Qi. Gongga was straightforward. He refused, and even expelled our envoys. It is now impossible for us to separate the relationship between Gongga and Du Qi."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "It seems that this Gongga is determined to stand by Du Qi's side and to be our enemy."

Changsun Wuji said: "That's not true. Although Gongga expelled our people from Tubo, he also said that he is not willing to be an enemy of Du Qi, nor is he willing to be an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. At the moment, he only Hope to remain neutral."

Li Shimin snorted and said: "He hopes to remain neutral and not help each other. The problem is that once we start a war with Du Qi, under Du Qi's persecution, Gongga will become our enemy again. So what he said, in essence, Useless."

After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "The situation we deduced before, if we want to win Tubo, we have to take into account factors such as climate and geographical environment. It is very difficult to destroy Tubo under these conditions. Now it is difficult to even talk about peace. Things are not easy."

Changsun Wuji sighed when he heard the words.

He was quite helpless.

Matters involving Du Qi are very difficult to deal with.Even though Changsun Chong has come back now, when it comes to dealing with Du Qi, although Changsun Wuji really wants to do it now, he is much more cautious, at least he will not be the first bird.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and immediately said: "Come here, call Fang Xuanling to see me."

The servant immediately went to summon him.

Not long after, Fang Xuanling entered the hall, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to sit down, and quickly talked about the envoy's failure in lobbying Tubo, and said, "Xuanling, what do you think about the arrangement of Tubo?"

Fang Xuanling's thoughts turned, and he said after a while: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to deal with Tubo. After all, we are going to invade the territory of Tubo, and it is difficult to adapt to the climate of Tubo."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Xuanling has tried many tricks, but he can't think of a way to deal with Tubo. It seems that this time,

It is really not easy for us to deal with Du Qi and Tubo. "

Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way."

There was a look of expectation in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Let's hear it, Wuji, what can you do?"

Changsun Wuji said: "We want to plot against Tubo, defeat Tubo, and even weaken the power of Tubo to the greatest extent. The only way is for the Tubo army to come out and fight our army at the border."

"There is a certain chance, and it is the perfect strategy. Therefore, I think that the plan in the general direction can pretend to go to war with Du Qi, so that Du Qi orders Tubo to send troops to the border again. When the time comes, as long as the Tubo army comes out, we will lay an ambush in advance, It will be easy to destroy the army of Tubo Gongga."

Changsun Wuji said: "Of course, the key to this battle is to attack from east to west. We created a big momentum to fight Du Qi, and even pretended to attack Du Qi's Yizhou to form momentum. With this premise, it is very likely that Tubo will take the initiative to attack , because Du Qi will not let go of Tubo as a boosting factor."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin showed a bright smile on his rough cheeks.

This is opportunity.

He didn't want to start a war with Du Qi, but to attack Tubo and completely weaken Tubo's power.By the time,

After Tubo's power is really weakened, it will be much easier for Li Shimin to fight Du Qi in the end.

Li Shimin said: "The current situation in the Western Regions is quite serious! Du Qi has ruled all the countries in the Western Regions, and even Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, has been wiped out. If we continue, Du Qi's strength will be stronger. We cannot continue now. Delay time. Next, no more mistakes, we must act as soon as possible."

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I only have one worry. That is whether the war can be stopped at any time after the war with Du Qi. It is easy for us to start a war, but it is not easy to quell the war. After all, although we can withdraw at any time, But Du Qi may also be entangled endlessly, after all, Du Qi's strength is quite tyrannical."

Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, you are trying to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. Although I am not sure about destroying Du Qi and Xia Guo. But Du Qi wants to enter our Tang Dynasty, and really wants to be with the Tang Dynasty." It is not an easy task to start a war. There is no need to worry about Du Qi."
