I'm a marquis in Datang

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ma Yuan and Lai Ji left first.

The left forward also left together.

After all, it involves dispatching the elephant army, so he also has to make arrangements to transfer [-] elephant soldiers to Ma Yuan.

As the three of them left, Du Qi said again: "The Persian side of the Western Regions has already arranged troops to resist, so the next step is to involve the country. At present, when Su Dingfang went north, he actually left two [-] troops. Moreover, Amir is there to assist. However, since Datang may make a move right now, I think it is still difficult to suppress the situation with only [-] troops in the country. So right now, some troops have to be dispatched to return domestic."

Su Dingfang took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army back. After all, I was the one who attacked various places before. I am familiar with the situation in various places and can

Enough to deal with it. "

Du Qi said, "What about the military strength?"

Su Dingfang said: "This time, I have transferred 2 elite troops, so next, we only need to take away the [-] troops brought this time. After all, there are still [-] people in the country, and [-] troops are in the country. Enough to ensure domestic stability."

Du Qi nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare."

"I retire!"

Su Dingfang also turned around and left.

With the departure of Su Dingfang and Ma Yuan, the two took away more than 8 troops.Now the remaining troops around Du Qi, that is, those of Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi, only have a strength of more than [-] people.

But this is not a weak force.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Right now, the domestic and Persian side have already made arrangements. Let's talk about how we should arrange here to break the current situation."

Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, I think it's still time to wait and see what happens.

, take no action at this time. "

Du Qidao: "You mean, wait for Li Shimin to send troops."

Shangguanyi said: "First, once Li Shimin sends troops, we can surround and attack Li Shimin's army; second, if Li Shimin doesn't send troops, we will continue to besiege Li Ji. From May to June, and even April Li Jing is in Jiuquan County. They have been guarding for several months. At the beginning, their morale was high, but after a long time, it is impossible to sustain it for a long time. They must be in panic. So we can trap Li Ji to death."

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think Shangguan Pavilion Chief's suggestion is reasonable. However, the old minister thinks that we can make some adjustments and take a bigger step. Once Li Shimin leads the army to kill, or Li Shimin will definitely send troops."

"As long as Li Shimin sends troops, we will set up a formation in the east of Jiuquan County, specifically to block Li Shimin's Tang army. This force only needs to block the Tang army. When the time comes, we will encircle and wipe out Li Ji's army first."

"The other party will not stay in the city for a long time. After all, according to the latest news, the life of many people in the city is becoming increasingly difficult. They are not allowed to enter and leave for several months, and the hearts of the people are boiling, and people's resentment is growing. Especially Li Ji's side is also under great pressure. So when Li Shimin attacks, we stop Li Shimin."

"Of course, the intention of Li Shimin and Li Ji on the side of the Tang army should be that he took the initiative to go out of the city to fight and attack us. But as long as we resist well, we can defeat them one by one."

"First defeat Li Ji's army, and then defeat Li Tang's army. In fact, this situation is similar to the Battle of Niulan Mountain. In the Battle of Niulan Mountain, His Majesty first defeated Duan Zhixuan's army, captured Duan Zhixuan alive, and resisted Li Shimin's attack. The army, order Li Shimin to withdraw."

Li Jing said: "The only difficulty is that there are considerable risks under this plan."

Shangguanyi shook her head and said: "No, I don't think there is much risk. What's more, it's okay if there is risk, and you can try it. After all, risks and opportunities coexist. Besides, we have an elephant army,

There are also mortars, which have too many advantages. "

Ma Zhou also said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Du Qi nodded and said: "In that case, then follow this plan. In this battle, let's fight it in an upright manner."

Xiao Yuanqi took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, once the war really starts, I am willing to lead the army outside Jiuquan County to stop Li Ji's army and destroy Li Ji's army here."

Xue Rengui never spoke.

Because he must be in charge of fighting Tang Jun.

This is Xue Rengui's wish.

He wants to destroy Tang Jun.

Everyone spoke separately again, expounding some detailed questions that followed.

After Du Qi arranged all the matters properly, he said, "This is the tentative arrangement. After all, there may be adjustments in the future."

"The minister obeys the order!"

All the people responded in unison.

Chapter 1139 Goal

aims

Braun City.

This is the most border city of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty in the Western Regions.

The lord of the city is Custer.

He is the youngest son of King Kuslao II, and he is in his twenties.Kasde is the lord of Bolang City. There are eight cities in his fiefdom, covering an area about the size of Moyi Prefecture, Gaochang, and Yanqi Prefecture.

Under Custer's rule, it was quite prosperous.

After all, it borders Xia Kingdom.

Now the economy of Xia Kingdom is prosperous, because the area of ​​Kasde is connected to Persia and Xia Kingdom, and also connected to the Western Regions, so countless Persian businessmen gather here, and then do business with Xia Kingdom, many of them earn a lot of money.

Therefore, Custer's strength is not weak.

The strength of Kasde's troops has already reached [-] people.Such a force, especially after being equipped with the gunpowder given by Datang, has greatly improved its strength.Today's power has far surpassed that of the past.In Braun City three or four years ago, its strength was never so strong. It is because of the economic drive of these years that it has its current strength.

In some respects, Custer is very grateful to Du Qi.

Because of the arrival of Du Qi, Du Qi destroyed Tianzhu, making the Tianzhu area prosperous and prosperous, and making the Western Regions prosperous.In this way, only Persia will benefit from it.

If it weren't for this, Kasde's strength would not be so strong.

However, Kasde also knew that with his current strength, it would be impossible for him to go back and avenge his father, King Kuslao II.Because his elder brother Kawad II is stronger than him.

Custer himself needs to increase his strength.

And the best way to strengthen oneself is to attack the country of Xia.If it was purely on Kasde's side, he would not dare to send troops to attack Du Qi, after all, Du Qi is stronger than him.But now Du Qi's power is mainly concentrated on the front line of Suzhou, and he has gone to war with Datang. At this time, Custer has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Braun City at this moment, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Custer sat on the main seat.

There was a touch of majesty on that sharp-edged face.At the moment, Waldo was still sitting below.Caster looked at Waldo, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Waldo, do you think we can capture half of Tianzhu with our [-] people?"

"impossible!"

Waldo shook his head and said: "Even if we destroy Du Qi this time, Datang will send troops. Compared with Datang, our strength is still slightly insufficient. So under this premise, we only need to be able to It is enough to seize the area to the north of the Japanese Kingdom. As for the area of ​​the Western Regions, it will be handed over to the Tang Dynasty. And there are more areas in Tianzhu. If we can seize it by then, we will seize part of it. If If we can’t seize it, we can only let it go. In short, our appetite doesn’t have to be so big, as long as we can expand our strength, that’s enough.”
