I'm a marquis in Datang

So it ended up being nothing.

Sure enough, when Du Qi arrived in the Western Regions, he developed rapidly like a runaway wild horse.And at the beginning of this year, Tong Yehu suddenly became interested in attacking Du Qi, so

He led his army from Qianquan to station at Mount Sanmi.

After arriving a few days ago, Zhao Dengyan began to persuade him, thinking that he should go directly to Yanqi Kingdom in one go, and attack Du Qi through Gaochang Kingdom first, and take Gaochang Kingdom first if the Lord of Gaochang disagrees.

Tong Yehu thought it was inappropriate, so he could station at Sanmi Mountain and slowly attack Du Qi.

So stay temporarily.

So much so that now, Du Qi has won Gaochang Kingdom.

Tong Yehu was self-willed, but he was also a decisive person. He ordered: "The order is passed on, and we will immediately set off for the Yanqi Kingdom. In addition, all the troops in Qiuci and Yanqi will be recruited."

"Yes!"

Zhao Dengyan got the order and went to make arrangements immediately.

In just half an hour, Zhao Dengyan had already arranged everything, and the army set off for the country of Kucha.Because they want to recruit troops, they will first go to the capital of Kucha, and then to Yanqi.

The army hurried on the way, and Tong Yehu recruited troops along the way. When Tong Yehu's army entered the territory of Yanqi State, after passing through the capital and mobilizing the army, the number of troops exceeded 7.

The weather at this time has entered June.

The weather is getting hotter.

During the day, it is steaming hot, even the temperature of the ground can make fried eggs.Under such weather, it is not suitable for traveling during the day, nor is it suitable for large-scale army advances, so Tong Yehu slowed down his army advance.

He could only travel day and night, until the middle of June, the army led by Tong Yehu was not far away from the Yanqi Kingdom, but the news of the Western Turkic army's dispatch had already spread.

The news was quickly sent back to Gaochang.

Even if the weather was hot, Sentry still had to hurry on his way. In just a few days, the news was sent back to Gaochang City and into Yu Deshui's hands.As soon as Yu Deshui saw Ye Hu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, leading an army of 7 to kill him, and among the [-] people, there were [-] elite cavalry, he shivered in fright, and quickly entered the palace to meet Du Qi, He talked about the invasion of Western Turks.

Du Qi didn't panic when he heard the news.

Based on the Western Regions, there must be wars.

All countries in the Western Regions are now attached to the Western Turks, but even if the leader of the Western Turks, Ye Hu, is a little vigilant, it is impossible to allow Du Qi to develop.But Tong Yehu only came now, it was a bit late.

Du Qi Now, the general trend has come.

Du Qi immediately ordered: "Send an order to summon Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, Yuan Yin, Yi Fusheng, Jiang Changzong, and Jin Wuque into the palace to discuss the matter of dealing with the Western Turks."

"Yes!"

Yu Deshui gave orders immediately.

Chapter 771 Double Arrangement

double arrangement

Liu Zhengxi and the others all work in the palace and have their own offices.So Du Qi arranged for someone to notify, and within a short time, they had already arrived in the main hall, and after saluting to Du Qi, they all took their seats.

When everyone was notified earlier, they all knew about the killing of the Western Turks, and they already had their own considerations in their hearts.

Du Qi looked around at the crowd and said, "Yehu Khan, the ruler of the Western Turks, led an army to kill Gaochang City, you all already know. It can be said that this is the biggest battle since we established ourselves in the Western Regions."

"We have been sweeping up thieves and bandits in Yizhou and Gaochang prefectures before, and clearing up the rebellious thieves, all of which are small troubles."

"This battle is the real war."

"If we win this battle, we will have a real foothold in the Western Regions, and we will have a reputation. But if we lose this battle, we will be completely in danger."

Du Qi said: "So in this battle, only victory is allowed but not defeat. Everyone can speak freely and talk about how this battle should be carried out. Jiang Changzong, you are the head of the staff department. You speak your thoughts first, and the rest follow closely. "

Jiang Changzong previously served as the Taiwei of Gaochang Kingdom, and he is very familiar with the situation in the Western Regions. He knows the strength of Tong Yehu Khan and the situation of the Western Turks.After receiving Du Qi's inquiry, Jiang Changzong took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, Ye Hu, the governor of the Western Turks, has come to commit crimes.

We must fight with all our might.However, in this battle, I believe that it can be a two-pronged approach. "

Du Qi asked: "How to do both."

Jiang Changzong replied: "On the one hand, organize an army to fight against Tong Yehu and resist the offensive of the Western Turkic army. On the other hand, arrange people to contact the kings of Yanqi and Qiuci and let them send troops. , even if Tong Yehu leads an army of 7 people this time, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Du Qi thought for a while and asked: "If Yanqi and Qiuci are to resist the Western Turks, how can we persuade each other? Or, what is the breakthrough point for persuading the other party to surrender?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Changzong in unison, because it was not an easy task to instigate rebellion against Yanqi and Qiuci.

Jiang Changzong looked calm and said, "Your Highness, the Western Turks are indeed strong, but there are many problems. Because Your Highness has just arrived in Gaochang, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions."

"The countries in the Western Regions have been dissatisfied with the Western Turks for a long time."

"It can be said that there are complaints."

"Because Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, adopted the strategy of the counselor Zhao Dengyan, arranged for people to lead troops to station in various countries, and collected taxes in various countries. The suppression of various countries is quite large."

Jiang Changzong continued: "The Western Turkic troops stationed in various countries are equivalent to the existence of the Supreme Emperor. No one dares to provoke them, and no one dares to touch the tiger's butt. In the end, the Western Turkic people wantonly robbed everywhere, even and kidnapped women."

"Besides, the annual tax is high."

"Life is hard for the people of all countries."

"That is to say, the Western Turkic army is strong in fighting power, and countries dare not resist it, so it has been maintained. But this kind of thing has actually reached a stage where it is on the verge of breaking out. As long as it is stirred up a little, it will arouse the anger of the people against the Western Turkic people."

Jiang Changzong said: "The humble official believes that this is the breakthrough point for instigating rebellion. Without this premise, the humble official would not dare to mention the strategy of instigating rebellion. But now we arrange people to instigate rebellion, and the countries are likely to cut off the way to unify Ye Hu."

After Du Qi heard it, he nodded.

Jiang Changzong's plan is indeed quite operable, but there are also some problems.

Yi Fusheng took over the words and said: "Chief of Staff Jiang's strategy, I think it is indeed good. Once Tong Yehu's retreat can be cut off, then it will be much easier to defeat Tong Yehu Khan. The current matter, I think it exists." A great contradiction."

Du Qidao: "Say!"

Jiang Changzong also looked at Yi Fusheng, a bright light flashed in his eyes, but he wanted to hear what Yi Fusheng said about his plan.

Yi Fusheng said sternly: "If Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries are not independent monarchs, but local officials subordinate to the Turks, it should not be difficult to plan a response."

"The problem is that Yanqi Kingdom and Qiuci Kingdom each have kings. Even though the Western Turks in various countries oppress the people and make the people miserable, the influence on the monarch is actually minimal."

"The kings of all countries should enjoy what they should enjoy, eat and drink what they should, and their glory and wealth will not be affected. Because those who are affected are the poor people. We want to instigate against Yanqi Kingdom, Kucha Kingdom and other countries to make them submit Your Highness, from now on, the place they control is His Highness's jurisdiction, and they can no longer be kings, and they can no longer have power."

Yi Fusheng said: "The contradiction lies in the fact that the kings of various countries are most likely unwilling to give up their power. Because for the sake of power, even if the people in the country are bullied and suppressed, they may not choose to submit to His Highness."

Guo Xiaozheng echoed: "Yi Canjun's analysis has some truth. If this problem is not resolved, I'm afraid I will go to lobby and be killed by the other party in the end."

Jiang Changzong was stunned when he heard the words.
