I'm a marquis in Datang

When the attendant got the order, he immediately went to inform.After a while, the door was pushed open, and Fang Xuanling entered.He saw Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong who were drinking, walked up to sit down, took a glass of wine and drank it down, and said: "You two still have the desire to drink. Let me tell you, His Majesty has arranged for Gao Shilian to be the guardian of Anxi. The envoy, among other things, let Hou Junji lead an army of [-] to station in Guazhou, clearly to support Gao Shilian."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling sighed: "Du Xiang, your son, Mrs.

Will be tossing. "

Du Ruhui said: "Brother Fang, in my opinion, you shouldn't have come. When you come to my house, it's like wading into this muddy water."

Fang Xuanling snorted and said, "You think I'm willing, Fang Yi'ai is still in Du Qi's army. If there is a conflict, Fang Yi'ai is also in danger. Especially this kid sent a letter saying that he is very used to living in the Western Regions, Life is good. Oh, what a crime!"

Du Ruhui said: "Brother Fang, if you are worried, just call Fang Erlang back with a letter."

Fang Xuanling snorted and said, "I'm not so worthless. When it's necessary, arrange for the second child. When it's not needed, bring the second child back."

Du Ruhui smiled when he heard the words, he and Fang Xuanling were very close, after all they had worked together for decades.

Fang Xuanling drank another glass of wine, his expression became serious, and said: "I don't doubt Du Erlang's ability. But Du Erlang only has four states, so it is impossible to compete with His Majesty, and he cannot stop the imperial army. "

"Even if Du Erlang can stop Gao Shilian and defeat Hou Junji, in the end, he will face more Tang troops. In the end, Du Erlang must suffer. Instead of this, let him hand over his official position directly and cooperate with Gao Shilian , to avoid getting into trouble.”

Fang Xuanling said: "Du Xiang, you should send the letter to Du Erlang earlier, so that he can write it earlier.

get ready. "

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Brother Fang, are you here to be a lobbyist?"

Fang Xuanling said: "What kind of lobbyist? Your Majesty asked me how to deal with it. I didn't say anything, but said that I didn't know how to deal with it. I don't want to get involved in this matter, and I don't want to be a lobbyist. I'm just pure For the sake of Du Erlang. Du Xiang and King Hejian all know the strength of Datang, do you think Du Erlang can compete with Datang?"

Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong fell silent when they heard the words.Today's Datang is completely different from a few years ago. Its strength is much stronger than before.Du Qizhen was about to face Datang, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Du Ruhui sighed, "I can just write a letter and send it over to tell this kid to be more careful. But you also know that he always has his own attention, so he can't listen to persuasion."

Li Xiaogong narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "To be honest, I don't think the matter is known yet. Because Erlang, a kid, always likes to make big gains with small things. I think it is impossible to predict how things will develop in the end. Especially if His Majesty really wants to get along with you. Du Erlang may not be able to win against each other. After all, the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains."

His words revealed his trust in Du Qi.

Because Li Xiaogong knew Du Qi.

Fang Xuanling fell silent when he heard it, and after a while, he said, "To be honest, the words of Prince Hejian may come true. If we reach that point, we may

I will also go to the battlefield, and I have to face Erlang. "

Du Ruhui said: "That's for the future."

After a pause, Du Ruhui said: "Brother Fang, I would like to thank you for your kindness. In short, you still don't come to my house now. Because of Erlang's matter, it's not good for you to come here all the time."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Du Xiang, you don't have to worry. Although His Majesty has arranged for people to go to the Western Regions because of the overall situation, His Majesty still believes in you."

Du Ruhui said: "I hope so."

Fang Xuanling changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, Du Erlang has both children, a son and a daughter. My son is not yet married. Du Xiang, when you wrote to Du Qi, Ask him to pay attention to Fang Erlang and tell him about a marriage. Fang Erlang has gone to the Western Regions, and he will not come back until the year of the monkey. His marriage will probably be held in the Western Regions. In short, let him care Some."

Du Ruhui complied naturally.

To him, it was a small matter.

Fang Xuanling asked some other things, so he didn't stay any longer, got up, took his leave and left.

In the study, only Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong are left.

Li Xiaogong said: "Brother Du, I am a clan relative, no matter what happens, I will

Not so much.But here, in my opinion, you should be prepared to retreat.It's really getting out of hand, you go directly to the Western Regions. "

Du Ruhui said: "I am a member of the Tang Dynasty, and I am even more a subject of His Majesty. How can I leave. No matter when, no matter what the result is, I will not leave. Besides, I also believe in Your Majesty. The friendship between monarchs and ministers will not cause His Majesty to dispose of my Du family just because of a trivial matter."

"You..."

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Forget it, you can arrange your own affairs as you please."

Du Ru changed the subject with a dark smile, and began to talk about other things.After all, at the moment, the situation is still unclear, so let's take a step at the moment and wait until that day really comes.

After Li Xiaogong left, Du Ruhui immediately wrote a letter and asked his servant to send it out quickly.

This is to tell Du Qi the news in advance.

In fact, the official will not hide this news. Li Shimin is about to arrange for Gao Shilian to go there, and then let Hou Junji sit in Guazhou. In fact, he wants to tell Du Qi clearly that he came prepared.

When Du Ruhui spread the news, Li Shimin would not care about it, and was even happy to see it succeed. We can use this to see Du Qi's reaction.

Chapter 813

Prepare for battle

Gaochang City, inside the palace.

Du Qi is currently teasing the children. After the two children are full moon, they look different almost every day.Although the winter in Gaochang is cold, the room is quite warm, and the child is wrapped so that it will not be cold.

It's actually quite fun to tease children.

Now in December, when the weather gets warmer after the new year, it will be better.

Du Qi has been in Gaochang City during this period.

Waiting for Datang's response.

When Du Qi teased the two children to giggle, Liu Jian entered and bowed to report: "My lord, Mr. Liu is asking to see you."

"understood."

Du Qi gave an order.

He handed the child to the nanny, then went out of the backyard and came to the study.

Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, Jin Wuque, Yi Fusheng and others had all arrived, and these people were all informed by Liu Zhengxi.Du Qi entered the study, saw Liu Zhengxi and others, looked around and said: "The people who came here are so neat, it seems that something big has happened, maybe there is news from the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxi answered immediately.

Du Qidao: "Tell me the details."

Liu Zhengxi said: "Your Highness, the imperial court has made two countermeasures. First, arrange Gao Shilian to serve as the second Anxi Dufu Jiedushi, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Gaochang soon. Second, arrange Hou Junji to lead the five Wan Dajun is going to enter Guazhou. From this point of view, the imperial court is preparing to attack us."

Du Qi nodded and said, "It's not surprising. Courtesy comes first and soldiers come first. If I refuse Gao Shilian to serve in the Western Regions and cooperate with Gao Shilian, then this battle will be inevitable."

Liu Zhengxi said: "What Your Highness said is true."

Guo Xiaozheng took over the conversation and said: "Datang is too confident. There are only 5 people who want to take us down. They are self-righteous. Even with the addition of Su Dingfang's soldiers, it is impossible to win."
