I'm a marquis in Datang

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, but it was Tang Zhen who hurried in.

Tang Zhen is the chief executive.

In charge of the big and small things around Li Shimin, he walked to Li Shimin's side, put his ear to Li Shimin's side and said something quickly, then took out a letter and handed it to Li Shimin.

This letter is from Su Dingfang.

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

Li Shimin said: "What suggestions do you have for this?"

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, Hou Junji learned the news that Du Qi took action during a private visit to Rouyuan County's microservice.

Changsun Wuji originally had some ideas about Du Qi, and he was also ready to facilitate this battle.This time, when he saw the letter sent back by Su Dingfang, without thinking about it, he would say: "Your Majesty, this is really a god-sent opportunity!"

"Although it is indeed inappropriate for Hou Junji to act arbitrarily. But the current situation is just an opportunity to promote the war. If Hou Junji's action is successful, it will be excellent, and we don't need to plan anything. If Hou Junji fails Du Qi will definitely not let it go. Because it is not difficult for Du Qi to find out the news. At that time, Du Qi will definitely send troops to fight. This is precisely the opportunity to start the war. "

Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly.

This matter was really a coincidence, but Fang Xuanling couldn't stop this battle.

Li Shimin said expectantly: "The current situation is indeed conducive to our calculation of Tubo and Du Qi. No

Guo Hou Junji acted arbitrarily and did not consider Su Dingfang's opinion at all, nor did he care about the court's arrangements.What he did was still inappropriate.Because we want to promote the war, we will ignore this letter for the time being and put it on hold for the time being. "

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xuanling also agreed, but didn't say anything more.

After setting the general direction, Li Shimin discussed other matters with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.But not long after, another servant sent a letter from Su Dingfang. This letter was a copy of Canhou Junji, saying that Hou Junji robbed and killed the spies who sent the letter along the way.

After Li Shimin saw it, he was quite displeased.

He didn't like Hou Junji's approach. In order to send troops, he even sent troops to kill the sentinels who passed on the book.If Su Dingfang hadn't been thoughtful and had specially arranged a second messenger to deliver the news, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to know the situation in the Western Regions, and it would be impossible for Li Shimin to know that Hou Junji was going to deal with Du Qi.

Li Shimin didn't like to go home or not, he still didn't deal with it, but suppressed Su Dingfang's letter.

Because the overall situation needs to start a war with Du Qi.

930 The octopus bites the hook

The western border of Rouyuan County.

on the official road.

Du Qi and his party were hurrying on their way.The plan to deal with Hou Junji has been fully formulated and arranged.Now all he had to do was wait for the news, and Du Qi didn't need to worry about the rest.

Du Qi's traveling speed was not fast, and he seldom encountered road tyrants along the way.There is no other reason, the main roads of all states and counties in the entire Xia Kingdom are being severely cracked down, but when Fan Luba is encountered by soldiers in plain clothes, he is immediately arrested.

Or sentenced to prison, or beheaded.

In short, during this period of time, there were no less than a thousand people in the entire Xia Kingdom who were sent to prison for blocking roads and collecting tolls.It is precisely because of this situation that the roads are much safer, and people no longer have to worry about being robbed when passing by.

Even so, it is still possible to add Roadhog, because there are some people who have not been taken.

The general direction is much better.

Unlike before, almost every village will have road tyrants, and there will always be people blocking the road.

Du Qi and his party entered Rouyuan County, because Rouyuan County in Yizhou borders Datang, and its geographical location is even more special.In particular, many merchants from the Tang Dynasty brought their goods into

After entering Rouyuan County, they will temporarily unload goods and rest in Rouyuan County.

This place has become a transit point, so Rouyuan County is quite prosperous.On the official road along the way, merchants can be seen everywhere escorting goods, and people come and go.

"Da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of hurried hoofbeats sounded.

A sentry galloped his horse and arrived at Du Qi's team in a blink of an eye.However, the sentry could not approach at will, but checked the password and came to Du Qi's side after Mordo's review.

Sentinel took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, the latest news has arrived."

Du Qi took it and opened the letter to browse.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Shangguanyi, and said, "Shangguanyi, news came from the Tubo side that the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to Tubo to form an alliance with the intention of making Tubo and the Tang Dynasty an ally. The Gongga side directly refused. .”

After reading it, Shangguanyi handed the letter to Ma Zhou, saying: "The intention of the Tang Dynasty is actually very simple. It is to win over Tubo so that Tubo no longer favors us. In doing so, it is essentially weakening us and laying a solid foundation for the future of the Tang Dynasty. Attack our Daxia to lay the foundation, so that the Tang Dynasty will not be attacked by the enemy."

After a pause, Shangguanyi continued: "Li Shimin's idea is good, but it's a pity that Gongga knows our strength, especially Gongga's son Quci Zharen is still in Gaochang. So Gongga can't be our enemy no matter what. , he did not dare to tie up with Datang

Alliance, at best, not to offend Datang. "

Ma Zhou also read the letter, and said seriously: "Judging from this incident, it can be seen that Tang's covetous heart for Daxia has never stopped. The emperor was defeated in Daxia and wanted to take revenge, so he set about deploying Tubo. With this premise, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely send troops after encountering a war in Guazhou. This time, the border affairs will definitely be lively and noisy."

Lai Ji echoed, "Ma Zhou's words are reasonable, and I agree with Ma Zhou's analysis."

Du Qidao: "It depends on whether Hou Junji is fooled."

Shangguanyi said firmly: "During this period of time, news came back one after another. Hou Junji was sitting in Guazhou City. He trained his soldiers every day and worked extremely hard. He also publicized to the outside world that he wanted revenge and revenge. Hou Junji Once we get the news, we will definitely take action, and it is impossible to sit idly by."

Du Qi said: "Then we will wait and see."

A group of people talked and laughed and continued on their way.

It was almost noon, and because the sun was quite hot, Du Qi and his party found a forest and ate dry food under the shade of the trees.Now that the weather is hot, it is troublesome to cook at noon, so I just eat a little, and it is not too late to find a village or an open place at night to bury the pot for cooking.

While the group was taking a lunch break, there was the sound of horseshoes ahead.

It was the sentinel who came.

The sentry came to Du Qi's side, quickly handed over the letter, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news sent back by bad people in Guazhou, which is quite urgent, and it is about Hou Junji."

Du Qi picked up the letter and checked it. After reading it, he waved his hand and ordered to continue to inquire about the news.

Shangguanyi asked expectantly, "My lord, what's the news?"

Du Qidao: "Sure enough, Hou Junji took action. This time Hou Junji arranged for 1000 people to break up into pieces and pretend to be ordinary people to sneak into our Rouyuan County. Right now, our people are staring at these people. The next step , Look at the place where they gathered to ambush, you can determine their action location. Whether it is in the Valley of the Wind Valley, it will be clear at a glance."

Shangguan Yi said: "Hou Junji's temperament really can't stand loneliness. Now that Hou Junji has sent troops, the plan has really started. As for the place where they ambush, I believe it must be the Wind Valley."

Du Qidao: "At most one more day, there should be news back, let's wait and see."

There was a look of expectation in Shangguanyi's eyes.

Since the Valley of the Wind was his chosen location, he believed there would be no problems.
