Su Dingfang turned around and asked, "Does King Pingxi have anything else to do?"
Du Qidao: "Brother Su, sit still. I forgot to talk about it when you interrupted me just now."
Su Dingfang did not suspect him, turned and returned to his seat.
Du Qi said: "This time Yi Fusheng went to Tibet as an envoy, on the one hand to understand the situation in Tubo, and on the other hand to blackmail Langri Songtsan against the autumn wind. This time Yi Fusheng was sent as an envoy, we got three thousand horses and ten thousand catties Highland barley wine."
"Alcohol is actually too useful, mainly to blackmail Langri Songtsin."
"Three thousand war horses are extremely valuable."
Du Qi said: "Because of Brother Su's presence, Yi Fusheng was able to complete the task smoothly. So I will give you 1,000 horses for the 3,000 horses I brought back this time, as a thank you for Brother Su's help."
Su Dingfang raised his brows and showed surprise when he heard that Du Qi actually wanted to give him a thousand horses. You know, this is a thousand horses, not a small number.
Su Dingfang had heard the news of Yi Fusheng's return before, and knew that Yi Fusheng had brought back 3,000 war horses.
As a veteran on the battlefield, it would be impossible for Su Dingfang not to be envious of this batch of war horses. The problem is, this time, Su Dingfang just sent troops to make a noise, and with his face, he couldn't say anything about letting Du Qi distribute it to the war horse.
Even if Su Dingfang wanted war horses, in the end Su Dingfang suppressed the idea.
Now, Du Qi actually mentioned it on his own initiative.
Su Dingfang's impression of Du Qi suddenly increased. However, he did not respond immediately, and said, "King Pingxi, the 3,000 war horses that were blackmailed from Langri Songtsan were earned by Yi Canjun. Now, he gave me 1,000 war horses, isn't it a bit unfair?" That's right. Besides, you don't get paid for nothing, and a thousand horses is not a small amount."
Du Qidao: "Without Brother Su this time, Yi Fusheng lacked confidence in Tubo. Therefore, Brother Su deserves these thousand horses, and Brother Su just accepts them, so there is no need to refuse."
Regarding Su Dingfang, Du Qi's current attitude is to build a good relationship with him. Next, we need to use Su Dingfang to attack Tubo. Furthermore, Su Dingfang led troops to assist, regardless of whether troops were sent, but at least Su Dingfang came.
Du Qi can't treat people badly.
Otherwise, if Du Qi eats alone, Su Dingfang will not help in the future.
Su Dingfang was not good at refusing, so when he heard Du Qi's words, he stopped talking and said, "Since King Pingxi has said so, Su will not be polite. It just so happens that the cavalry under my command is going to be reorganized, and with this group War horses are of great help to my cavalry."
"King Pingxi, thank you for your kindness."
"This time, thank you very much."
Su Dingfang said seriously: "If King Pingxi has a place for Su, and does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and does not affect the interests of the Tang Dynasty, I, Su Ding, have a duty to do so."
When Du Qi heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
This is what I was waiting for.
People like Su Dingfang spit and nail, and what they say is what they say. With Su Dingfang, it will be easy for Du Qi to rely on Su Dingfang's power in the future.
Furthermore, even without the help of Su Dingfang, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Su Dingfang. After all, Su Dingfang is currently in charge of military affairs in Guazhou and Shazhou, which are adjacent to Yizhou. Du Qi is not strong enough now, and needs to develop in a low-key manner.
Su Dingfang said some words of thanks again, he was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "King Pingxi, I have something else to tell you."
Du Qi saw Su Dingfang's expression and said, "Brother Su has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Su Ding said squarely: "I am also in charge of military affairs in Shazhou and Guazhou. Although I have been in Guazhou and not in the court, my teacher and I have written letters and can know the situation in the court."
Du Qidao: "Is it Manager Li Jing?"
Su Dingfang nodded, and said: "Before I got a letter from the teacher. The teacher said that the imperial court intends to set up the Anxi Protectorate Mansion to deal with the situation in the area outside the Longyou Road. The location of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion may be in the Guazhou, it may be in Shazhou, or it may be in Yizhou. But now, there is no conclusion. This is just a discussion. The teacher asked me to prepare myself. I think this matter may have some influence on King Pingxi .¡±
Du Qi frowned, he didn't know the news.
Anxi Dufu.
This is to govern the Western Regions.
In other words, because you are worried about the place under Du Qi's jurisdiction, do you want to hang a sharp sword over Du Qi's head?
Du Qi sighed in his heart, thanks to SuOne thousand war horses from the other side are not bad for this news. Of course, Du Qi will definitely receive Du Ruhui's letter in the future, but now that he knows it earlier, he can make preparations earlier.
Du Qi thought a lot in his heart, finally suppressed his thoughts, turned to look at Su Dingfang, and said, "Brother Su, your news is very important, I would like to thank you very much."
Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Prince Pingxi is polite, I still have something to do, so take my leave."
He got up and left.
After Su Dingfang left, Du Qi was still thinking about the news about the Anxi Protectorate.
Yi Fusheng sat below. He also knew the importance of the Anxi Protectorate, and said: "Your Highness, we have controlled Yizhou, and we will control more places in the future. Your Highness is not weak. What's more, our army There are also weapons such as gunpowder and grenades. With our strength, even if the imperial court has any ideas, we are enough to resist."
Du Qi said: "Yi joins the army, but it's not going to start a war. Anyway, I am the Pingxi King of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, my father is also the prime minister in the court and has certain authority. It is not so easy for the court to pick peaches. And Su Dingfang has already said just now that this is just a discussion, and there is no decision yet."
Yi Fusheng said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we have to be prepared. If we are caught off guard, it will be bad. We still have to be cautious about this matter."
Du Qidao: "That's what it means."
After a pause, Du Qi ordered: "The order will go down, and the team will rest for a long time. After we have lunch, we will set off to return to Yizhou. Now that we have been away for such a period of time, it is time to go back. Go back earlier, so that we can make more decisions. Prepare."
"yes!"
Yi Fusheng responded immediately.
He turned around and went to make arrangements.
Sitting in the tent, Du Qi narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across them. If Li Shimin wanted to interfere with things outside of Guazhou, it was inevitable that Du Qi would use means.
The territory outside Guazhou is Du Qi's area. In Chang'an back then, although Li Shimin didn't ask the Du family to give money, he used the mouth of the courtiers to force Du Ruhui to take the initiative, so that Du Ruhui asked Du Qi to donate money.
At that time, Du Qi decided to go west, and only then did he have his current foundation. If Li Shimin makes an arrangement, then Du Qi will not be slaughtered like before.
Because under the current situation, Du Qi already has a certain strength.
Du Qi suppressed his thoughts and stopped thinking about this matter.
"Hoo!!"
At this moment, the curtain of the camp tent was raised.
It was Liu Jian who entered.
Liu Jian had a hasty expression on his face, and said, "Young master, it's the news from the head of the family, and it's marked as urgent."
Du Qi ordered: "Bring it here!"
Du Qiyuan was not aware of the situation in the court in the Western Regions, but Du Ruhui was in the court, but he was very clear. Now that Du Ruhui's letter came, things could be clarified. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
