I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Cháng’ān, imperial city.

This 9th layer deep palace is the power center of the entire Great Tang. All the officials in the world are hoping to get a place in it. Because they can be ranked in the Imperial Court, they are not sesame-sized officials, but are people in the center of power.

In the great hall, Li Shimin is dealing with government affairs.

Li Shimin nowadays has long become Great Tang’s Paragon, and his control over Great Tang has been further strengthened, and he is no longer worried about internal troubles. Now Li Shimin is worried about Tibet in the west. The reason is simple. Tibet Tsenpo Gongga is the person supported by Du Qi.

Once Du Qi is attacked, Gongga will not sit idly by. So Li Shimin wanted to kill Gongga and take Tibet. Just destroying Gongga is not an overnight event, and when it comes to war with Tibet, maybe Du Qi may intervene in the battlefield and change the situation.

The final result of the discussions between Li Shimin and the officials of the Imperial court changed the plan of destruction, and instead wooed Tibet first, hoping that Tibet could be used by Great Tang. As long as Gongga is on the side of Great Tang, then the west of Great Tang is safe.

This is helpless.

There is no alternative.

While Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs, Zhangsun Wuji hurried in. With a solemn expression, he bowed and bowed to Li Shimin: “Chen Zhangsun Wuji, meet His Majesty.”

Li Shimin waved his hand: “Sit!”

After Zhangsun Wuji took his seat, he said: “His Majesty, there is news from Tibet, which is bad news.”

Li Shimin said: “What’s the matter?”

Zhangsun Wuji said “Reporting back to His Majesty, the Small Official we sent to Western Regions Tibet intends to lobby Gongga, let Gongga and Great Tang become allies, so that Gongga no longer works for Du Qi. Gongga is simply and neat. Rejected and expelled our envoys. We want to separate the relationship between Gongga and Du Qi, which is now impossible.”

Li Shimin’s eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. , Said: “It seems that Gongga is determined to stand on Du Qi’s side and be our enemy.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “This is not true. Gongga said People expelled Tibet, but also said that he is not willing to be an enemy of Du Qi, nor is he willing to be an enemy of our Great Tang. At the moment, he only hopes to remain neutral.”

Li Shimin hum He said, “He wants to remain neutral and not help each other. The problem is that once we go to war with Du Qi, under Du Qi’s persecution, Gongga will be our enemy again. So his words are essentially useless. “

paused, Li Shimin continued: “The situation we deduced before, if we want to win Tibet, we have to take into account factors such as climate and Geography environment. Under these premises, it is difficult to destroy Tibet. Nowadays, it is difficult to destroy Tibet. It’s already very difficult to talk to each other, this thing is difficult to handle.”

Zhangsun Wuji sighed after hearing this.

He was quite helpless.

Matters involving Du Qi are very difficult to handle. Even now that Zhangsun Chong has returned, it involves dealing with Du Qi. Although Zhangsun Wuji wants to do it now, he is also more cautious, at least he will not be the first bird.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and immediately said: “Come on, call Fang Xuanling to see you.”

The servant called immediately.

Not long, Fang Xuanling entered the great hall, bowed and said: “His Majesty!”

Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to sit down, and quickly spoke Chen lobbied about Tibet’s failure and said: “Xuanling, what do you think about Tibet’s arrangements?”

Fang Xuanling changed his mind and said after a moment: “His Majesty, we must deal with Tibet. Easy. After all, we are going to enter Tibet and it is difficult to adapt to the Tibet climate.”

Li Shimin sighed: “Xuanling has a lot of tricks and can’t think of a solution to Tibet. It seems this Time, it’s not easy for us to deal with Du Qi and Tibet.”

Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said: “His Majesty, I thought of a way.”

Li Shimin’s eyes revealed With a look of expectation, he smiled and said: “Listen to it, what can you do about Wuji.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “We want to plot against Tibet, defeat Tibet, and even weaken Tibet to the greatest extent possible. The only way is for the Tibet army to come out by itself and fight our army at the border.”

“This is a certain chance, which is the perfect solution. Therefore, the minister believes that the general direction of the plan can be pretended to be harmonious. Du Qi went to war, which made Du Qi order Tibet to once again Chen Bing the border. When the time comes as long as the Tibet army comes out, we lay ambush in advance to destroy Tibet Gongga’s army, it will be as easy as turning back.”

Zhangsun Wuji said “Of course, the key to this battle is to attack the west. We have created a big momentum to fight Du Qi, and even pretend to attack Du Qi’s Yizhou, to form a momentum. With this premise, Tibet is very likely to take the initiative, because Du Qi I won’t let go of the help factor of Tibet.”

“Wonderful, wonderful!”

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

This is an opportunity.

He is not going to fight Du Qi, but to attack Tibet, to completely weaken Tibet’s power. When the time comes, after Tibet’s power is really weakened, it will be easier for Li Shimin to fight Du Qi at the end.

Li Shimin said: “The situation in the Western Regions today is quite grim! Du Qi dominates the Western Regions countries, and even the Khan’s leaf guards in Western Turkic have been destroyed. Continue, Du Qi’s We are stronger. Now, we can’t continue to delay time. Next, if we can make mistakes, we must shoot as soon as possible.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty is wise.”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: “His Majesty, the minister has only 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 go to war, but it is not easy to quell the war. After all, although we can leave at any time, But Du Qi may also be entangled. After all, Du Qi’s strength is quite tyrannical.”

Li Shimin said: “Xuanling, you are to build up other people’s ambitions and destroy your own prestige. To destroy Du Qi, to destroy Xia Country, there is no certainty. But Du Qi wants to break into my Great Tang, want to really fight Great Tang, it is not an easy task. Du Qi there, don’t worry.”

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, but Tang Zhen hurried in.

Tang is really the general manager of the big house.

Managing the big and small things around Li Shimin, he walked to Li Shimin’s side, attached an ear to Li Shimin’s side and said something quickly, then took out a letter and handed it to Li Shimin’s before.

This letter is from Su Dingfang.

Li Shimin quickly opened the letter and browsed, but when he finished reading it, he frowned slightly. Then Li Shimin handed the letter to Zhangsun Wuji for Zhangsun Wuji to read it. After looking at Sun Wuji, he showed it to Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin said: “Do you have any suggestions for this?”

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, Hou Junji learned that Du Qi had taken a private visit on WeChat in Rouyuan County. Action news.

Zhangsun Wuji originally had some thoughts about Du Qi, and he was also prepared to contribute to this battle. This time he saw the letter sent back by Su Dingfang and didn’t even think about it. He would say: “His Majesty, this is a godsend!”

“Although Hou Junji is acting arbitrarily, it is indeed a bit wrong. But for the moment. The situation is precisely the opportunity to promote the war. If Hou Junji succeeds, it is very good, and we don’t need to plan anything. If Hou Junji fails, Du Qi will definitely not let it go. Because Du Qi wants to find out the news, too It’s not a difficult thing. When the time comes Du Qi, he will definitely send troops to fight. This is precisely the chance to go to war.”

Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly.

This thing is really a coincidence, but Fang Xuanling couldn’t stop this battle.

Li Shimin expects: “The current situation is indeed conducive to our plot against Tibet, and we also deal with Du Qi. However, Hou Junji acted arbitrarily and did not consider Su Dingfang’s opinions at all, and regardless of the arrangements of the Imperial Court. What he did is still not very appropriate. Because we want to promote the war, we will ignore this letter for the time being and put it on hold.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

p>

Fang Xuanling echoed, but didn’t say much.

The general direction is set, and Li Shimin discusses the rest with Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Only after a while, another letter from Su Dingfang was sent by the servant. This letter was written by Hou Junji, saying that Hou Junji robbed and killed the spies who passed the letter.

After seeing this, Li Shimin was rather unhappy.

I don’t like Hou Junji’s approach. In order to send troops, he even sent troops to kill the sentry of Chuanshu. If it weren’t for Su Dingfang’s meticulous thoughts and specially arranged a second messenger to deliver the message, Li Shimin would be impossible to know the situation in the Western Regions, and impossible to know that Hou Junji would deal with Du Qi.

Li Shimin didn’t like it or didn’t like it, or didn’t deal with it, just suppressed Su Dingfang’s letter.

Because the overall situation requires a battle with Du Qi.
