I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Cháng’ān at the end of June was still hot. At this time, after a heavy rain, the weather became much cooler. The breeze blowing in the sky, with a hint of coolness, makes people very comfortable. Li Shimin also arrived at the entrance of the great hall, feeling the coziness and comfort of Xiaoyu outside. To say that Li Shimin’s life is not bad today.

Great Tang is under your control. The surrounding Tibet, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Turkic people are no longer a climate and can no longer threaten the safety of Great Tang. However, Western Regions has a Xia Country, especially Du Qi’s claim to be the emperor made Li Shimin very upset, causing Li Shimin’s heart disease.

This is caused by the characteristics of the emperor.

How can people snore on the side of the couch?

When Li Shimin thinks of Du Qi’s Xia Country, he feels like a thorn stuck in his heart. If this thorn is not pulled out, Li Shimin will never be able to live. It is rare for Li Shimin not to deal with government affairs, just watching the drizzle. The water mist in the sky reduced the visibility outside. Li Shimin wanted to feel the rain for no reason.

He was just about to take his feet and walked outside the temple to get in the rain. There was a sound of footsteps, but Tang Zhen came. Tang Zhen bowed and stood beside Li Shimin, and said, “His Majesty, Duke of Qi, please see me.”

“Xuan!”

Li Shimin gave an order.

He turned around and returned to the palace, shaking his robe and sitting down.

After a while, Zhangsun Wuji enters.

Li Shimin said: “No need to salute, sit down and talk, what’s the matter?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “It’s news from Xia Country.”

Li Shimin leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharpened, said solemnly: “What’s the news about Xia Country?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Reporting back to His Majesty, Du Qi led the army on the expedition. He left Gaochang and led the army all the way west to India. This time Du Qi is on the expedition to India, do we also move?”

Li Shimin said: “Du What is the strength of Qi’s troops on the expedition?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “80,000 men on the expedition.”

Li Shimin thought for a while and asked again: “The leader of the army, Who are they?”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “It is Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, leaving Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi General to guard. Only eight troops stay in Xia Country. More than ten thousand people.”

Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said: “Wuji, looking at you, is preparing to send troops again. Are you afraid that Du Qi will target you again?”

When it comes to what Du Qi is targeting, Zhangsun Wuji feels like boundless anger is about to burst out, and his heart is extremely mad. He has never been so humiliated in his life. Even though his father died early that year, he was driven out of Zhangsun Family with his mother and Younger Sister. At that time, he was living in the home of his uncle Gao Shilian.

In front of Du Qi, he was repeatedly humiliated.

This is a stain that Zhangsun Wuji will never be able to erase, and it is the eternal pain in Zhangsun Wuji’s heart.

Zhangsun Wuji groaned a little, opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, although the things in the past have caused me so much pain, every time I think about it, it seems that there is pain in the heart and hatred of blood, but When it comes to the interests of Great Tang, the minister will die without regrets. So now there is an opportunity, the minister thinks it should be prepared.”

Li Shimin shook the head, said: “Send troops to attack Du Qi One thing, don’t think about it.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Why?”

He was puzzled.

Zhangsun Wuji knelt down in front of Du Qi and apologized. Although there were two times, Zhangsun Wuji believed that his hatred was definitely inferior to Li Shimin. Li Shimin’s hatred for Du Qi is definitely deeper than him.

Under this premise, once there is a chance to send troops, Li Shimin is impossible to give up. Li Shimin is such an arrogant person, but he is hitting a wall here in Du Qi one after another, and he shouldn’t be able to stop when he encounters an opportunity now.

Li Shimin explained: “Fuji and Du Qi sent troops to attack India. Although there is a certain strength in the rear, the emptiness is also a fact. Under normal circumstances, this is indeed our opportunity. It’s just that we will shoot now. There are too many improper factors.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Please His Majesty to show me.”

Li Shimin said: “First, our weapons are not as good as Du Qi after all. No matter how sharp the sword is, or the grenades, landmines and Gunpowder, we did not find out. Previously, we had arranged for people to infiltrate Xia Country. Over the years, no progress has been made. Now Du Qi leads the army to leave and we It is not to send troops, but to increase penetration. While Du Qi is not in Gaochang, try to get hand grenades. In addition, their war knife forging skills will also be obtained.”

Li Shimin said: “This is what we are going to do now.”

After listening to Zhangsun Wuji, he was sincerely convinced: “All Listens to your Majesty, I can’t wait for more.”

Li Shimin Continued: “Secondly, send people to increase their lobbying efforts for Tibet, Turkic, Goguryeo, etc. To this day, Goguryeo has responded, saying that they are unwilling to send troops. Turkic and Tibet still have no information and progress is extremely slow. , As if being held back. Without the assistance of these people, we would not be able to destroy Du Qi in a spurt of energy alone by relying on our own strength, so the strength is not the strongest.”

Zhangsun Wuji Nodded again.

Li Shimin’s eyes flashed with shrewd rays of light, and he said again: “Third, Du Qi is at war with India. The Geography environment and climate of India are completely different. To attack It is not necessarily smooth to defeat India.”

“It is rumored that India has elephants taller than humans and can be commanded by people to form a battlefield. It is invincible. Although Du Qi has weapons such as grenades , But in the face of India’s military strength, he is not familiar with the local situation and may not be able to win.”

“Regardless of whether Du Qi can succeed or not, for us, let India consume Du Qi’s Forces are all cost-effective. The best result is that both sides suffer.”

“When the time comes, we can arrange for someone to try to contact the king of India, and ask the Indian government to support us . In this way, there is more help. Although Du Qi is tyrannical, only Western Regions Xia Country alone may not be able to stop us.”

Li Shimin said: “For now, let’s watch Its change.”

Zhangsun Wuji once again said: “All Listens to your Majesty, the minister only considered that Du Qi left the emptiness behind, but did not consider the rest of the factors, it was the minister’s improper consideration.”

Li Shimin said: “Fuji, I can understand your feelings.”

Zhangsun Wuji smiled, that was his history of humiliation. He didn’t want to mention it, so he immediately Turning the subject away, he said: “His Majesty, since it is to arrange for people to increase the digging of grenade, the spies have to increase their efforts. It is just that Du Qi cut off all our spies before, which greatly damaged our strength. We must increase our efforts and support efforts to increase Great Talent.”

Li Shimin nodded: “Naturally, we must increase our efforts. If you need to pay, you will pay, don’t worry. In addition, Du Qi will leave. In Xia Country, in fact, with Du Qi’s eyesight and old-fashioned level, impossible is impossible. In short, those who arrange to go must be cautious.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “The minister understands.”

paused, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said: “His Majesty, the minister has another policy, but it is a bit vicious.”

Li Shimin said: “Let’s talk about it.”

Zh angsun Wuji opened the mouth and said: “Du Qi now has only one son and one daughter under his knees. The Crown Prince of Xia Country is already a book holder and is the first wife’s eldest son of Du Qi. If you want to make Xia Country turbulent, and Du Qi is not in Xia Country now, why not do Xia Country Crown Prince? “

“No way! “

Li Shimin didn’t even think about it, but flatly refused.

Zhangsun Wuji said: “Why not? “

Li Shimin said solemnly: “Although I agree to take the necessary very ruthless means for the national interest. But this kind of method to assassinate Du Ye is unnecessary. Or, there is no need to use the means to poison Du Ye. “

“If the news doesn’t leak, that’s all. Once Du Qi knows the clues and discovers that it is Great Tang’s operation, the consequences will be disastrous. When the time comes Du Qi will retaliate wildly, and will also take the Great Tang Crown Prince against me, and even against the rest of my children. “

“Such a precedent was set, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, regardless of the probability of victory by this method, this method is never allowed. even more how Although I hope to win Du Qi, I don’t want to use such a wrist. “

Li Shimin said: “It’s not worthwhile to kill one thousand and lose eight hundred, or even two, eight hundred.” Fuji, you have to keep in mind and don’t sink too deeply. “

Zhangsun Wuji said: “The minister understands. “

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: “If nothing happens, leave it, remember what I said. “

“The minister should keep in mind. “

Zhangsun Wuji nodded left.

Li Shimin looked at Zhangsun Wuji’s departed back and shook his head laughed. He asked himself whether he was able to stay sane in dealing with Du Qi. , But Zhangsun Wuji is not necessarily here.
