I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Chengqian became angry after reading it, and said: "Father, my son thinks that we have no choice under the current situation. Once we ask Du Qi for peace and cede Longyou Dao, how will the subjects of the world treat Father? .Since Du Qi wants to go to Longyou Road, we simply make the worst plan."

Li Shimin said: "What plan?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "My son's plan is based on the previous arrangement, and the previous plan will not be changed. I, the Tang Dynasty, recruited insightful people to go to Longyou Road to resist Xia Guo's soldiers and horses. Only this time However, anyone who can stop Xia Guo, who can defeat Xia Guo, will be granted the title of King of Longxi by the imperial court, and Longyou Dao will be his fief, and he will be allowed to be hereditary in Longxi and rule Longyou Dao forever. .”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling's complexion changed slightly.

There was an inconceivable expression in his eyes, because Li Chengqian's arrangement was actually quite vicious, and it could even be said to be quite strong.If Du Qi can be blocked under this condition, it is tantamount to driving tigers and wolfs away, so there is no problem.

However, once this plan fails, the situation in Datang will become more and more dangerous, and even fall into a situation where the whole world is an enemy.Because Xia Guo, Tubo, Goguryeo and other countries cannot give up attacking Datang.

It depends on whether this plan can be kept, it's just Fang Xuanling's heart, but he doesn't have too much hope.The reason is very simple, the power of the whole country can't resist Xia Guo, let alone some other people?

After Li Shimin listened, he was thinking in his heart.

Even a little emotional.

From Li Shimin's point of view, the situation had already deteriorated to such an extent that even if it deteriorated again, it was impossible to deteriorate to a worse level, so Li Shimin agreed with this plan in his heart.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant entered.

After the servant stood still, he took out the letter and put it in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, a sentry sent back the latest news about Longyou Dao."

Li Shimin said: "Submit it."

The servant handed over the letter, and turned around to leave. Li Shimin opened the letter, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Du Qi, this son is really a thief. He arranged for people to spread news in the territory of Longyou Dao, to publicize our greatness." The news of Tang seeking peace also said that the Great Tang might cede Longyou Dao for the sake of peace. Now this news has spread in Longyou Dao.

Makes people panic. "

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi is really hateful. Father, my son has always believed that reaching an agreement with Du Qi is to seek skin from a tiger. It is absolutely unfeasible. Because Du Qi is not trustworthy, because Du Qi cannot suffer."

After a pause, Li Chengqian continued: "So now, we have no other choice but to fight Du Qi to the death. Rumors are flying all over the sky right now, and it is time for the court to come forward to clean up the source and clean up the rumors."

Li Shimin nodded, but he hadn't made a decision yet, but looked at Fang Xuanling, and asked again: "Fang Qing, what do you think of the Crown Prince's suggestion?"

Li Chengqian said: "Father, why are you hesitating?"

Li Shimin scolded: "Shut up!"

Li Chengqian kept his mouth shut.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling, because Fang Xuanling was resourceful, even though Fang Xuanling lacked decisiveness, Fang Xuanling was able to analyze the pros and cons of the situation so that Li Shimin could make a decision.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness's suggestion is not unreasonable. It is indeed as His Highness said, the situation has reached this point, and it is not a bad idea to take Longyou Dao out to reward the heroes of the world. No."

"Of course, the imperial court has to prepare for the worst, that is, once His Royal Highness arranges to offer a reward for the influence of the world, if it can't stop Xia Guo's army, and finally Xia Guo quickly seizes Longyou Dao, then on this premise Now, if we want to negotiate with Xia Guo again, I am afraid it will be different. The situation will be even more unfavorable and even more difficult."

Fang Xuanling was still worried in his heart.

Li Shimin said: "That's true, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Fang Qing, I decided to fight Xia Guo again, and sent an order to the world, whoever can recruit troops to block Xia Guo's forces, I will allow him to go to Longyou Road Proclaimed king, the imperial court conferred the title of King of Longxi, hereditary no succession."

Fang Xuanling said: "I will arrange it immediately."

Li Shimin said: "Go."

Fang Xuanling got up and left.

In the main hall, only Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and his son were left. Li Chengqian said: "Father is wise, my Tang Dynasty is not afraid of Xia Guo, and I want to fight against Xia Guo to the end. If Longyou Dao is ceded now, the people of the world will be disappointed with Datang." , the subjects of the world will be disappointed with the father. So right now, it is right to fight."

Li Shimin said: "Prince, in the current situation, nothing is right or wrong. What can be done now is to block Xia's army. No matter what method is used, it is good if it can achieve results."

After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "If Du Qi's army really can't be stopped, then I may adopt a strategy of seeking peace. Because only under this premise can the safety of Datang be ensured and Datang be preserved. Yes From my point of view, as long as the final result can be achieved, there is nothing that cannot be adopted. However, the strategy you proposed can take into account both Datang and Datang's decency. So now, your suggestion is adopted."

Li Chengqian was quite shocked when he heard this.

Because of what Li Shimin said just now, he was a little surprised.

Li Shimin said: "Alright, let's do your work."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian stood up and retreated.

Sitting alone in the hall, Li Shimin still hesitated in his heart to adopt Li Chengqian's suggestion.Moreover, the lives of Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were also involved, so the matter was a little more complicated.

"God decides!"

Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

The hoarse voice continued to echo in the hall, and finally there was no more sound.

Li Shimin was left alone.

Chapter 1196

See people's hearts in subtle ways

August passed in a blink of an eye and entered September.

The weather in September is even cooler.

Du Qi's army was still stationed in Zhangye, and never continued to attack Longyou Dao.But now, the entire Ganzhou has been brought under Du Qi's command.Even during this period of time, some local officials from Longyou Dao, as well as some local gentry clansmen, contacted Du Qi actively, hoping to be Du Qi's internal support.

After all, there have been rumors from outside that Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda are envoys, and Longyou Dao is about to be ceded to Xia Guo.So under this premise, people's hearts have long been floating.

However, in September, Du Qidu has not received any news from Li Shimin, so the situation is a bit tricky.Du Qi's heart, already

It is inferred that Li Shimin may not accept the conditions of ceding Longyou Dao.

After all, this is tantamount to cutting flesh.

Not a small thing.

In particular, Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ceded Longyou Dao to Xia Guo, which had a great influence on the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, so even if Li Shimin refused, Du Qi could understand.

If you want to talk about anger, it's not enough. The reason is very simple. During this period of time, Du Qi kept arranging bad people to infiltrate Longyou Dao. Under this premise, the mastery of Longyou Dao has been continuously strengthened. .

So Du Qi was not worried at all.

Delaying time has no effect on Du Qi, Xia Guo still has an absolute advantage.From beginning to end, Du Qi never arranged

People notified Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, but they waited without urging them.

On this day, Du Qi took people out of the camp and wandered around the city with nothing to do.

Today's Zhangye has regained its prosperity.
