I'm a marquis in Datang

After reading the contents of the letter, Du Qi praised: "Yes, yes, this left vanguard is very courageous, and with 3000 people, he can forcibly establish a world in Tubo. Although the general plan is to cause both sides to lose However, it is not easy to actually operate it. It is not easy for the left forward to do this.”

Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, although Zuo Xianfeng's name is not very good, he likes to read books, especially military books. He is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a strategy in mind. He is in his early thirties, and he is the one who has done meritorious service. opportunity."

Du Qi said with a smile: "The left vanguard deserves to be commended. If that's the case, promote him to be your lieutenant general."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xue Rengui suddenly became excited, happy for Zuo Xianfeng.The left vanguard is Xue

This is exactly the person Rengui valued, and he had arranged for Zuo Xianfeng to go to Tubo.Now that he returned from victory and was rewarded, it is naturally the best.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: "Let's ignore the Tubo issue for the time being. You let the left vanguard return to the team, take a rest, and then do things in the army. Hou Junji confronted us. I guess there will be a battle after the beginning of spring. So now we must Get ready to fight."

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui responded immediately.

After Xue Rengui retired, Du Qigang settled down to read the book, when a soldier entered and reported: "Your Highness, a scribe came outside the barracks, saying that he came for His Highness' great cause. This person called himself Shangguanyi, and he was in his early twenties. His appearance, speech and behavior seem very simple, and his demeanor is very extraordinary."

Du Qi ordered: "Bring it in."

"Yes!"

Soldiers go to deliver orders.

There was a smile in Du Qi's eyes, Shangguanyi was a well-known existence, and it was a bit interesting that he took the initiative to come to the Western Regions.Shangguanyi was born in a scholarly family. During the Sui Dynasty, his father was an official in Jiangdu.Because when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu, Shangguan Hong, the father of Shangguanyi, was killed along with him.

Although Shangguanyi escaped a catastrophe, in order to avoid disaster, he became a monk.do

During his time as a monk, Shangguanyi never left behind his homework. On the one hand, he studied Buddhist classics, and on the other hand, he also read poetry and books, and his knowledge was extremely profound.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he resumed his identity and no longer became a monk.In history, Shangguanyi passed the imperial examination to become an official, and made great progress all the way, which can be called an open existence.

It's a pity that he was wronged and killed because he opposed Wu Zetian in the end.What Du Qi didn't expect was that Shangguanyi actually came to the Western Regions, a place where nothing shit happens.

Although the Western Region is Du Qi's foothold, in fact Du Qi still believes that this is not the real foothold.If Du Qi wants to establish a grand plan, he must continue to expand westward and find a more suitable location as a foundation.

But right now, I can only live like this temporarily.

Not long after, Shangguanyi entered.

Shangguanyi was wearing a down jacket with a cloak over it, the weather was too cold after all.He entered the tent, because the coal was burning, dispelling the chill, he took off his cloak and down jacket, revealing a green shirt inside.

Shangguanyi stepped forward and stood still, put his hands together, bowed and saluted: "Shangguanyi, a grass-roots man, has met His Royal Highness King Pingxi."

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shangguan, please sit down."

Shangguanyi's age is only in her early twenties, about the same age as Du Qi's.

imitate.However, Shangguanyi is more bookish than Du Qi.

Shangguanyi thanked Du Qi and took a seat, and took the initiative to say: "When I first arrived at the border of Yizhou, I heard that the imperial court sent Gao Shilian to serve as the governor of Anxi Dufu, and at the same time Hou Junji led an army of [-]. For me, this can be described as a life-and-death crisis. One careless step, the whole game will be lost."

Du Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Shangguan has good eyesight. Now that Hou Junji is sitting on the border, there is indeed such a situation. I don't know, what strategy does Mr. Shangguan have to solve it?"

Shangguanyi said to himself: "In the current situation, in my opinion, King Pingxi has no choice but to fight this battle and win this battle. If King Pingxi chooses to take a step back now, there will be more There are many means against you. Step back, step by step, and finally you will be completely reduced to a bird in a cage. So right now, you can't take a step back, you can only continue to move forward, you can't go back."

Du Qidao: "I know that I can't retreat, so the key is how to defeat the enemy? Although the king claims to have a crowd of [-], the actual combat power is insufficient. Mr. Shangguan thinks, what should I do?"

This is Du Qi deliberately hiding his clumsiness.

To be admitted to the official ceremony.

Shangguanyi looked calm, and said calmly, "King Pingxi wants to hide the truth from others.

It may be easy for people, but it is impossible for King Pingxi to hide me.Because I have been in Illinois for more than half a year. "

"For the past six months, I have been collecting information about King Pingxi, so King Pingxi said that his strength is less than [-], but it is a hidden strength. In my opinion, your army may be more than [-], and its strength is even stronger."

"Especially under the command of King Pingxi, there is an arsenal specializing in the manufacture of new weapons. However, it migrated from Yizhou to Gaochang Prefecture. Although I don't know what this weapon is, King Pingxi used it when dealing with the Turks before. "

"There are weapons that can make the ground explode, or even more powerful. With this weapon, it is easy to destroy Hou Junji's army. What I said below is for King Pingxi's great cause. You can’t retreat, you can only move forward.”

Shangguanyi said: "What King Pingxi has to do is to show his weapons and take down Hou Junji and the others."

Chapter 819

military adviser

Du Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan's news is indeed accurate."

Shangguanyi smiled confidently, and said again: "After years of rest and recuperation, the Great Tang Kingdom is already extremely strong. After Hou Junji's defeat, I speculate that Emperor Li Shimin will definitely march in person and march to the border."

"At that time, King Pingxi can fight with the emperor for a while first, and use the big weapon in his hand to frighten the emperor and Tang's army. Then, he can negotiate with the emperor to quell the disputes and wars."

"King Pingxi is negotiating with the emperor. You are still King Pingxi of the Tang Dynasty, and King Pingxi is still the Kingdom of Shu in the Tang Dynasty. However, King Pingxi wants to stand on his own."

"In this way, the emperor has a step down, and in the end the emperor cannot interfere with King Pingxi."

"In this way, the foundation can be laid."

Shangguanyi talked eloquently, her tone gradually increased, and her voice gradually raised, saying: "But even so, it is still far from enough. The land of the Western Regions is not enough to really gain a foothold."

"Even Your Highness has actively planned for Tubo before, and the Tubo area is not enough to gain a foothold. Because the place where Tubo is located is too cold, the most suitable place is Tianzhu."

"Today's Tianzhu has strength, but in fact Tianzhu is not as powerful as King Pingxi."

"As long as Tianzhu is captured, King Pingxi's foundation will be initially established. In the next step, King Pingxi can continue to expand westward. Of course, if King Pingxi wants to counterattack Datang, that is also feasible."

Shangguanyi said: "Anyway, at that time, King Pingxi will be regarded as the real general trend has been achieved, enough to be called emperor and ancestor."

For half a year in the Western Regions, Shangguanyi kept collecting news, not only from Du Qi, but also from Tianzhu, Western Turks, and even Persia further west.

This is what he researched.

The reason for this is so that Shangguanyi can gain a foothold under Du Qi's command.Shangguanyi was in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so she could pass the imperial examination to become an official, but Shangguanyi was not reconciled.He knew that Du Qi was in the Western Regions, and that Du Qi was extremely expansive, so Shangguanyi came.

After listening to Shangguanyi's words, Du Qi raised his brows and showed joy on his face.

Shangguanyi's words won his heart deeply.

Because that's what Du Qi thought about. Du Qi didn't take the Western Regions as the final place to take root, because the geographical location was not suitable.The really suitable area has to be in Tianzhu or Persia.

Du Qi looked at Shang Guanyi, got up and said: "Mr. Shangguan's words are like enlightenment, which makes many things difficult for this king.

Think it through.This king implores Mr. Shangguan to come out of the mountain and help me. "

Shangguanyi got up to return the salute, and said solemnly: "Shangguanyi, I would like to be your king's encouragement."
