    ?

    Chang'an, the imperial city.

    This nine-fold deep palace is the power center of the entire Tang Dynasty.  All the officials in the world are eager to get a place in it.  Because they can be ranked in the court, they are not officials the size of a sesame seed, they are all people in the center of power.

    In the main hall, Li Shimin was dealing with government affairs.

    Today's Li Shimin has long been the supreme leader of Datang, and his control over Datang has been further strengthened, and he is no longer worried about internal troubles.  What Li Shimin is worried about now is Tubo in the west.  The reason is very simple, Tubo Zanpu Gongga was supported by Du Qi.

    Once Du Qi is attacked, Gongga will not sit idly by.  Therefore, Li Shimin really wanted to destroy Gongga and take Tubo.  It's just that the destruction of Gongga did not happen overnight, and when it came time to start a war with Tubo, perhaps Du Qi might intervene in the battlefield to change the situation.

    ? As a result of discussions between Li Shimin and the officials of the DPRK and China, he changed his plan of destruction, and instead first wooed Tubo, hoping that Tubo would be used by the Tang Dynasty.  As long as Gongga stands on the side of Datang, then the west side of Datang will be safe.

    This is a helpless move.

    It is also impossible.

    When Li Shimin was handling government affairs, Changsun Wuji hurried in.  With a dignified expression, he bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Sun Wuji, my minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

    Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

    After Changsun Wuji took his seat, he said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Tubo, which is bad news."

    Li Shimin said: "What's going on?"

    Changsun Wuji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoys we sent to Tubo in the Western Regions intended to persuade Gongga to make Gongga and Datang an ally, so that Gongga would no longer serve Du Qi. Gongga was straightforward.  He refused, and even expelled our envoys. It is now impossible for us to separate the relationship between Gongga and Du Qi."

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "It seems that Gongga is determined to stand by Du Qi's side and to be our enemy."

    Changsun Wuji said: "That's not true. Although Gongga expelled our people from Tubo, he also said that he is not willing to be an enemy of Du Qi, nor is he willing to be an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. At the moment, he only  Hope to remain neutral."

    Li Shimin snorted and said: "He hopes to remain neutral and not help each other. The problem is that once we start a war with Du Qi, under Du Qi's persecution, Gongga will become our enemy again. So what he said, in essence,  Useless."

    After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "The situation we deduced before, if we want to win Tubo, we have to take into account factors such as climate and geographical environment. It is very difficult to destroy Tubo under these conditions. Now it is difficult to even talk about peace.  Things are not easy."

    Changsun Wuji sighed when he heard the words.

    He was quite helpless.

    It is very difficult to deal with matters involving Du Qi.  Even though Changsun Chong has come back now, when it comes to dealing with Du Qi, although Changsun Wuji really wants to do it now, he is much more cautious, at least he will not be the first bird.

    Li Shimin thought for a while, and immediately said: "Come here, call Fang Xuanling to see me."

    The servant went to summon him immediately.

    Not long after, Fang Xuanling entered the main hall, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

    Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to sit down, and quickly talked about the envoy's failure in lobbying Tubo, and said: "Xuanling, what do you think about the arrangement of Tubo?"

    Fang Xuanling's thoughts turned, and he said after a while: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to deal with Tubo. After all, we are going to invade the territory of Tubo, and it is difficult to adapt to the climate of Tubo."

    Li Shimin sighed and said: "Xuanling has a lot of schemes, but he can't think of a way to deal with Tubo. It seems that this time, it is really not easy for us to deal with Du Qi and Tubo."

    Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way."

    There was a look of expectation in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Let's hear it, Wuji, what can you do?"

    Changsun Wuji said: "We want to plot against Tubo, defeat Tubo, and even weaken the power of Tubo to the greatest extent. The only way is for the Tubo army to come out and fight our army at the border."

    "There is a certain chance, and it is the perfect strategy. Therefore, I think that the plan in the general direction can pretend to go to war with Du Qi, so that Du Qi orders Tubo to send troops to the border again. When the time comes, as long as the Tubo army comes out, we will lay an ambush in advance,  It will be easy to destroy the army of Tubo Gongga."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Of course, the key to this battle is to attack from east to west. We created a big momentum to fight Du Qi, and even pretended to attack Du Qi's Yizhou to form momentum. With this premise, it is very likely that Tubo will take the initiative to attack.  ,becauseBecause Du Qi will not let go of Tubo, the factor that helps.  "

    "Wonderful, wonderful!"

    After hearing this, Li Shimin showed a bright smile on his rough cheeks.

    This is an opportunity.

    He didn't want to start a war with Du Qi, but to attack Tubo and completely weaken Tubo's power.  At that time, when Tubo's power is really weakened, it will be much easier for Li Shimin to fight Du Qi in the end.

    Li Shimin said: "The current situation in the Western Regions is quite serious! Du Qi has ruled all the countries in the Western Regions, and even Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, has been wiped out. If we continue, Du Qi's strength will be stronger. We cannot continue now.  Delay time. Next, no more mistakes, we must act as soon as possible."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise."

    Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I only have one worry. That is whether the war can be stopped at any time after the war with Du Qi. It is easy for us to start a war, but it is not easy to quell the war. After all, although we can withdraw at any time,  But Du Qi may also be entangled endlessly, after all, Du Qi's strength is quite tyrannical."

    Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, you are trying to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. Although I am not sure about destroying Du Qi and Xia Guo. But Du Qi wants to enter our Tang Dynasty, and really wants to be with the Tang Dynasty."  It is not an easy task to start a war. There is no need to worry about Du Qi."

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

    Tang Zhen is the chief executive.

    ?Managing the big and small things around Li Shimin, he walked to Li Shimin's side, whispered to Li Shimin's side quickly, and 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 had taken action during a private visit to Rouyuan County's microservice.

    Changsun Wuji originally had some ideas about Du Qi, and he was also preparing to promote 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 beneficial for us to plot against Tubo and deal with Du Qi. However, 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 insignificant.  Appropriate. Because we want to facilitate 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 much.

    After the general direction was set, 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.

    I didn't like Hou Junji's approach, in order to dispatch troops, he actually sent troops to kill the sentinels who passed on the letter.  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, he still didn't deal with it, but suppressed Su Dingfang's letter.

    Because the overall situation requires a war with Du Qi.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
