    ?

    ?February 18 is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

    On this day, Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor in Gaochang, and made it known to the world, announcing the independence of Xia.  For the people of the Xia Kingdom, this is a good thing, because the Great Xia Kingdom has since become independent and is no longer a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so the whole country celebrates together.

    For the enemy, Du Qi amnesty the world.

    And on the day when Xia Guo Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor, Xia Guo's letter of credence was sent to Datang ahead of schedule, and it was precisely on February 18th that the letter of credence had already been sent to the imperial city of Chang'an City.

    Today's Du Qi seems to be a taboo in the Tang Dynasty.

    Few people mention it.

    Many people even dare not mention it casually, after all, Li Shimin was defeated by Du Qi twice.  Especially the last time, Hou Junji was killed by Du Qi to sacrifice the flag, Su Dingfang and other Guazhou soldiers surrendered to Du Qi, and Duan Zhixuan was defeated and captured and suffered heavy losses.

    A series of circumstances made Datang lose face.

    Few people mentioned it in the ruling and opposition parties.

    They were all worried about offending Longyan.

    Tang Zhen received the letter of credence sent by Xia Guo. He had never read the content of the letter of credence, but he knew it was from Du Qi, so he became nervous all of a sudden.  He hurriedly came to Li Shimin's side, and reported: "Your Majesty, Du Qi arranged for someone to send the letter of credence."

    Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and the cold light flashed away in his eyes.  The first battle in Guazhou in the Western Regions dealt a heavy blow to Li Shimin.  Not only because of the loss of troops, but also because he suffered an unprecedented defeat.

    This is something he has never encountered before.

    Li Shimin is a veteran on the battlefield and has experienced many battles.  Although he is sometimes invincible, he will win in the end after going through hardships, and he can turn things around.  But this time, he retreated in embarrassment.

    Li Shimin took the letter of credence, and when he read the contents of the letter, he laughed angrily: "It's very good, it's very good! Du Qi, this son, is really ambitious. He planned step by step, and now he is out of the Tang Dynasty.  emperor."

    Tang Zhenyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word proclaiming himself emperor.

    Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor.

    It means that Du Qi and Datang are equal identities, and they are no longer affiliated countries of Datang.  At this moment, Tang Zhen's back was even more arched slightly, with a cautious look, not daring to be careless.  In Tang Zhen's view, Du Qi's actions were tantamount to piercing the sky.  Especially when Tang Zhen saw that Li Shimin hadn't spoken for a long time, he was even more cautious.

    After a long time, Li Shimin ordered: "Call Changsun Wuji."

    "yes!"

    Tang Zhen went to make arrangements immediately.

    Immediately, Tang Zhen returned to Li Shimin's side and said, "Your Majesty, should you inform Fang Xiang and them?"

    "No need."

    Li Shimin answered concisely.

    Li Shimin's words were much cooler.  After a short time, Changsun Wuji quickly entered the hall with small steps, bowed to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty!"

    Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, sit down!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    After Changsun Wuji thanked him, he sat down respectfully.  He looked at Li Shimin, especially when he saw Li Shimin's stern expression, but his heart felt solemn.  As a person who has followed Li Shimin for nearly 20 years and has known Li Shimin for more than 20 years, Changsun Wuji knows Li Shimin's thoughts very well.

    Apparently Li Shimin encountered something.

    Changsun Wuji said: "Could it be that Your Majesty encountered some difficulties?"

    Li Shimin said: "Du Qi sent the letter of credence."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Du Qi is now the dominant family in the Western Regions, why does he send the letter of credence?"

    Li Shimin said: "Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor in Gaochang and left the Tang Dynasty. Coincidentally, today is the day when Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor. Exactly, his letter of credence was also delivered today, so he chose a good day!"

    Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, but he was also thinking quickly in his heart.  Reminiscent of Li Shimin's current expression, Changsun Wuji's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he said, "Your Majesty, this son of Du Qi is ambitious. When Du Qi was in Chang'an, I saw Du Qi's rebelliousness.  .This son is extremely hateful."

    Li Shimin said: "It is useless to say these things now. Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor in the Western Regions, and the Xia Kingdom is located on the west side of my Tang Dynasty, so it is like a mans back. Compared with the Turks in the past, Du Qi is more threatening  big."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty's words are true. Du Qi is indeed a huge threat. Therefore, I think it must be contained, and Du Qi cannot be allowed to continue to be big."

    Li Shimin said: "How to contain it?"

    Changsun Wuji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is very simple, which is to adopt the strategy of instigating rebellion and wooing. The Tang Dynasty has to deal with Tubo, Goguryeo, etc., and cannot attack Du Qi. We??So far, we have not obtained the recipes for making grenades, landmines and other weapons, which is also not good for us.  Right now, the minister believes that there are three things to do.  "

    Li Shimin said: "Let's hear it!"

    Changsun Wuji said: "The first aspect is actually dealing with border issues such as Tubo and Goguryeo. We must gradually weaken these forces and strengthen the Tang Dynasty again."

    "The second aspect is that when Du Qi destroyed the countries in the Western Regions, the countries may not be truly obedient. There will always be some people who are dissatisfied with Du Qi. So what we have to do is to win over this group of people, instigate them, make them rebel, and give Du Qi  Add to the chaos. In short, the more people we have in the Xia Kingdom of the Western Regions, the better."

    "The third aspect is to intensify the investigation of grenades and other weapons, and we must get back the production formula. Our Datang has these weapons, which will help Datang and Du Qi start the war."

    Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, this is the minister's arrangement."

    Li Shimin rolled his eyes after listening, thinking quickly in his heart, considering the feasibility of Changsun Wuji's suggestion.  After a while, Li Shimin said: "Wuji, the first aspect you considered is inappropriate and needs to be adjusted. Because it is impossible to destroy Tubo and Goguryeo in a short time."

    Changsun Wuji said: "How does His Majesty plan to adjust?"

    Li Shimin said: "Unite Tubo, Goguryeo, etc., and then gather the remaining Turkic people in the north, call everyone to send troops together, and jointly attack Du Qi. In fact, we had this arrangement before, but at that time, we did not send troops together. Now,  Let's build a united front and unite all that can be united. Unite all that can be united. Form the strongest force and counterattack Du Qi."

    Changsun Wuji was surprised when he heard the words, Li Shimin actually chose to unite with Tubo and Turks.

    Very surprising.

    For Li Shimin, it was almost impossible to choose, but Li Shimin chose such an arrangement.

    It can be seen that Du Qi's influence on Li Shimin.

    Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, even if we want to unite with Tubo, Goguryeo, and the remaining Turkic people, I am afraid that it will not be completed in three to five months just to contact these people, at least it will take a year or so, or even time  Longer. After all, the arrangements and adjustments of all parties are not easy.¡±

    Li Shimin said: "No matter how long it takes, this is the only strategy we can choose right now. There is no preparation for the destruction of Tubo in three to five years. It is not a one-day effort to destroy Goguryeo and so on. Therefore, it will take only a short time to destroy all parties.  Time can't do it. Now, this arrangement is the only choice."

    Changsun Wuji said: "The minister will send people to contact all parties according to His Majesty's arrangement."

    Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, this matter is at your discretion, and the news cannot be leaked."

    Changsun Wuji was a little surprised when he heard the words.

    It was supposed to be kept secret.

    Li Shimin continued: "Wait until the day when the attack is completed, and then tell everyone in the court."

    Changsun Wuji said: "I understand."

    At this time, Changsun Wuji already understood what Li Shimin was thinking.  Li Shimin's dealing with Du Qi is no longer limited to formalities, and the methods he adopts are more drastic.

    Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Go down."

    Changsun Wuji bowed to thank him, turned around and retreated, but he also understood in his heart that the war between Datang and Xia was now the real beginning.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
