Gao Shilian left angrily, his mind was full of Du Qi's words, and Du Qi's threats to him, saying that he could not bear the responsibility of starting a war. As an official who personally participated in the debate in the hall, Gao Shilian knew that the officials in the court were afraid of Du Qi, and also knew that the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with Du Qi.
Even though Du Qi once made great achievements and made great contributions to the emperor, but now Du Qi has touched the emperor's bottom line, so Du Qi is still so arrogant, in Gao Shilian's view, he is ignorant of current affairs.
Gao Shilian returned to the barracks full of anger in the wind and snow. As soon as he entered the tent of the Chinese army, Hou Junji couldn't wait to ask, "How is the situation, Gao Jiedu?"
Gao Shilian said: "Du Qi has accepted the order."
Hou Junji replied with a sigh, but he was a little disappointed. Hou Junji came this time because he was planning to make meritorious service in the Western Regions. Du Qi directly accepted the will, tantamount to confessing directly.
Counsel!
In Hou Junji's heart, he was very disdainful.
When Hou Junji complained about himself, Gao Shilian sat down and continued: "Although Du Qi accepted the order, Du Qi said that the government office of the Anxi Dufu Jiedushi is set up in Guazhou, not in Yizhou in the Western Region. Wait."
Hou Junji stood up abruptly, and became excited all at once. He bent down slightly, slapped the desk in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Jiedushi, how can this be done. The government office of the Jiedushi of Anxi Dufu Mansion must be in Yizhou. Even if there is no establishment In Yizhou, the more you want to be in Qiuci, Yanqi and other places. Could it be that you agreed to Du Qi?"
Gao Shilian snorted, and said in a deep voice: "General Hou, do you think I agreed?"
Only then did Hou Junji carefully observe Gao Shilian's expression.
A look of anger.
Even, it feels like a storm is coming.
Hou Junji smiled lightly, but his heart felt relaxed: "Gao Jiedushi, don't be a secretive officer. What is Du Qi's attitude when you go to deliver the decree? Your secretiveness like this makes my heart flutter. ,Very uncomfortable."
Su Dingfang sat in the main seat, sighing in his heart.
Du Qi really refused.
Although Du Qi accepted the order to allow Gao Shilian to work in Guazhou, it was tactful refusal. Such a result indicates that the Western Regions will be unstable in the future.
Su Dingfang didn't speak, he still listened quietly. No matter Gao Shilian or Hou Junji, they all waited for him in official positions, and even served Li Shimin earlier than him.
Su Dingfang's only advantage is serving as the governor of Guazhou, and he is not superior in other aspects.
Gao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Du Qi, this son, really has a traitor in the back of his head, he is a traitor. I told him clearly that the government office of the governor of Anxi Dufu must be established in Yizhou."
"However, guess what he said. He said that he wanted me to ask if the 100,000 troops under his command would agree or not. Listen, what are these words? Du Qi is clearly a threat, and he does not agree with the imperial court taking control of the Western Regions. "
"Especially when I was leaving, Du Qi threatened me, telling me to be careful, saying that I couldn't take responsibility. Du Qi's words showed his wolfish ambition. His Majesty regarded Du Qi so highly, and he was granted the title of King Pingxi. He gave him all kinds of preferential treatment. In the end, what Du Qi did was too disappointing."
Gao Shilian was full of anger.
In his life, he had a relatively good life, and he had never been humiliated like this.
Hou Junji smiled when he heard it.
It would be best if Du Qi wanted to resist.
Only he has the chance to make meritorious service.
Hou Junji sat down again, waved his hands and said, "Master Gao Jiedu, sit down now, don't be angry, don't be anxious. Even if you are angry now, even if you are full of anxiety, there is nothing you can do. Du Qi has already made up his mind to In the case of refusal, what we have to consider now is to attack Du Qi and let him see the fate of disobeying orders."
When Su Dingfang heard what Hou Junji and Gao Shilian said, he thought for a while and said: "Du Qi is an enemy of the imperial court, so he will definitely attack. I am the governor of Guazhou, and my strength in Guazhou is at the disposal of General Hou."
Hou Junji praised and said: "Inspector Su really understands the situation. In the current battle, you must mobilize your strength. Without this group of troops under your command, the strength is still a bit weaker."
Su Dingfang said: "However, before the war, whether to send someone to negotiate with Du Qi. If Du Qi agrees to His Majesty's arrangement, perhaps there will be no war."
"No need!"
Gao Shilian and Hou Jun answered together.
Both refused.
Gao Shilian was full of resentment towards Du Qi, because Du Qi humiliated him. Du Qi threatens Gao Shi??, so Gao Shilian must make Du Qi pay the price no matter what, and make Du Qi regret it.
As for Hou Junji, he wanted to take credit for his contribution and defeat Du Qi through this battle to establish his prestige. Furthermore, Du Qi was crippled in this battle, and when he returned to the court, he could also turn over to Li Chengqian, no matter how he thought about it, it was a good deal.
Su Ding said nothing more for convenience.
?After all, others are soft-spoken, even though there is a teacher like Li Jing in the court. The problem is that Li Jing seldom gets involved in government affairs, and most of the time Li Jing thanked guests behind closed doors, very cautious.
Su Dingfang will not cause trouble.
He just obeyed the arrangement.
Gao Shilian looked at Hou Junji, and asked, "General Hou, Du Qi refused to obey the order and insisted on resisting the imperial court's order. Now we are going to attack them, when will we attack?"
Hou Junji opened his mouth and said: "Although Du Qi is rampant, our strength is not weak, but it is now December and the weather is too cold. It is not easy for our soldiers to attack. My plan is. We will temporarily Confront Du Qi. When the spring begins in February next year, although the spring will be cold, but the weather will warm up a little bit, there will be no more heavy snowfall, and there will be no more heavy snow to block the road. At that time, it will be easier to attack. So what I mean, Wait until the beginning of spring in February before attacking."
"Can!"
Gao Shilian responded directly.
When it comes to marching and fighting, Hou Junji is a professional, so he doesn't make many suggestions.
Hou Junji did not consult Su Dingfang at all, and after obtaining Gao Shilian's consent, he followed this arrangement. Today's army is temporarily stationed and does not directly attack Du Qi.
The fact that Hou Junji's army did not take any action had no effect on Du Qi.
He is stationed with troops.
Confrontation is confrontation.
After all, Du Qi now has four states and enough background. If Du Qi had only Yizhou under his command, it would be quite difficult to contend against Hou Junji.
On the one hand, there is a lack of strategic depth, and on the other hand, the foundation is insufficient and too weak. Now that Du Qi has covered the four states, he can have enough background to fight a protracted war.
Time passed, and it entered the end of January in a blink of an eye.
Although the weather at the end of January is still cold, it is much better than the cold winter months.
At least there is no goose feather snow.
At least there is no heavy snow blocking the road.
On this day, when Du Qi was in the army dealing with some urgent government affairs, it was Xue Rengui who entered. With a smile on his face, he reported: "Your Highness, good news has come back."
Du Qi asked: "What good news?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
