Chang'an at the end of June was still hot. At this time, a heavy rain came and the weather became much cooler. The breeze blows in the sky, carrying a hint of coolness, which makes people very comfortable. Li Shimin also arrived at the entrance of the main hall, feeling the comfort and comfort of the light rain outside. As far as Li Shimin's life is concerned, it is actually not bad.
The Tang Dynasty is under control, and the surrounding Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Turkic people are all out of control and cannot threaten the safety of the Tang Dynasty. However, there is a country of Xia in the Western Regions, especially Du Qi proclaiming the emperor made Li Shimin very upset, which created Li Shimin's heart disease.
This is caused by the characteristics of the emperor.
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch!
When Li Shimin thought of Du Qi's powerful state of Xia, a thorn pierced his heart. If this thorn is not pulled out, Li Shimin will never be able to live in peace. It was rare for Li Shimin not to deal with government affairs, so he just watched the drizzle. The mist filled the air, reducing the visibility outside. Li Shimin wanted to feel the rain for no reason.
Just as he was about to step out and go outside the hall to get in the rain, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was Tang Zhen who came. Tang Zhen bowed and stood beside Li Shimin, saying: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is asking to see you."
"Xuan!"
Li Shimin gave an order.
He turned around and returned to the palace, shook his robe and sat down.
After a while, Changsun Wuji entered.
Li Shimin said: "There is no need to salute, just sit down and talk, what's the matter?"
Changsun Wuji said, "It's news from Xia."
Li Shimin leaned forward slightly, his eyes became sharper, and he said in a deep voice, "Any news from Xia Guo?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Du Qi led the army to go to war. He left Gaochang with him, and led the army all the way west, to Tianzhu. This time Du Qi went to Tianzhu, shall we also make a move?"
Li Shimin said: "How many troops will Du Qi send out?"
Changsun Wuji said: "80,000 people set out to march."
Li Shimin thought for a while, and asked again: "Who are the generals who lead the army?"
Changsun Wuji said: "It is Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, leaving two generals, Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi, to guard. The remaining troops in Xia Kingdom are only more than 80,000 people."
Li Shimin smiled suddenly, and said: "Wuji, from your appearance, you are ready to send troops again. Aren't you afraid that Du Qi will target you again?"
As soon as the thing Du Qi targeted was mentioned, Changsun Wuji felt as if boundless anger was about to erupt in his heart, and his heart was extremely manic. He had never been so humiliated in his life. Even when his father died young, he was kicked out of his eldest grandson's house with his mother and younger sister, and he lived in the home of his uncle Gao Shilian at that time, which was never like this.
In front of Du Qi, he was repeatedly humiliated.
This is a stain that Changsun Wuji can't erase all his life, and it is an eternal pain in Changsun Wuji's heart.
Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, although the past incidents caused me great pain, every time I think about it, it seems that I feel heart-wrenching pain and hatred, but when it comes to the interests of the Tang Dynasty, although I am very concerned To die without regret. So now that I have an opportunity, I think I should plan ahead."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You don't have to think about sending troops to attack Du Qi."
Changsun Wuji said: "Why?"
He was puzzled.
Changsun Wuji knelt down in front of Du Qi to apologize. Although there were two times, Changsun Wuji believed that his hatred was definitely not comparable to Li Shimin. Li Shimin's hatred for Du Qi must be deeper than his.
Under this premise, once there is an opportunity to send troops, Li Shimin cannot give up. Li Shimin is such an arrogant person, but he has run into walls in Du Qi's place one after another. He shouldn't take the opportunity now but not take action.
Li Shimin explained: "Auxiliary machine, Du Qifa's troops attacked Tianzhu. Although there is a certain amount of troops in the rear, it is also true that it is empty. Under normal circumstances, this is indeed our opportunity. It's just that there are too many inappropriate factors to attack now. .¡±
Changsun Wuji said: "Please show your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "First, our weapons are not as good as Du Qi's after all. Whether it's the sharpness of the knives, or the grenades, mines, and gunpowder, we haven't found any of them. We have been arranging people to infiltrate Xia Guo before. , No progress has been made. Now that Du Qi is leading the army to leave, we are not sending troops, but should increase the intensity of infiltration. While Du Qi is not in Gaochang, try to get grenades and other weapons. In addition, their sword forging skills, Get it too."
Li Shimin said: "This is what we need to do now."After Changsun Wuji listened, he said sincerely, "Your Majesty is wise, and there are not many ministers."
Li Shimin continued: "Secondly, send people to increase the intensity of lobbying Tubo, Turkic, Goguryeo, etc. Today, that is, Goguryeo has given an answer, saying that it is unwilling to send troops. Turkic and Tubo still have no news, and progress is very fast." Slow, as if being held back. Without the assistance of these people, relying on our own strength alone, it will be difficult to destroy Du Qi in one go, so we are not the strongest in terms of strength."
Changsun Wuji nodded again.
With a shrewd light in Li Shimin's eyes, he said again: "Thirdly, Du Qi is at war with Tianzhu Kingdom. The geographical environment and climate of Tianzhu Kingdom are completely different. If you want to attack Tianzhu Kingdom, it may not be smooth. "
"It is said that in Tianzhu Kingdom, there are elephants that are taller than humans, and they can follow people's command to form battle formations, and they are invincible. Although Du Qi has weapons such as grenades, he is not familiar with the local conditions in front of the troops of Tianzhu Kingdom, so he may not can win."
"Regardless of whether Du Qi can succeed or not, it is cost-effective for us to let Tianzhu consume Du Qi's troops. The best result is that both sides will suffer."
"When the time comes, we can arrange for someone to try to contact the king of Tianzhu Kingdom, and ask Tianzhu Kingdom to support us. In this way, we will have more help. Although Du Qi is tyrannical, there is only Xia Kingdom in the Western Regions, so it may not be possible Block us."
Li Shimin said: "Right now, let's wait and see what happens."
Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty is wise, I only considered the emptiness behind Du Qi's departure, but did not consider the rest of the factors. This is due to my improper consideration."
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, I can understand your mood."
Changsun Wuji smiled sarcastically. It was all his history of humiliation. He didn't want to mention these, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, since it is arranged to increase the excavation of grenades, etc., the spies have to increase their efforts." Strength. It¡¯s just that Du Qi cut off all our spies before, which greatly damaged our strength. We need to increase our strength and support.¡±
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Naturally, more efforts must be made. Those who should pay should pay. Don't worry about it. In addition, although Du Qi left Xia Guo, in fact, with Du Qi's vision and sophistication, it is impossible not to have a backup. In short, we Those who arrange to go must be cautious."
Changsun Wuji said: "I understand."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have another plan, but it's just a bit vicious."
Li Shimin said: "Let's listen to it."
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Du Qi now has only one son and one daughter under his knees. The prince of the Xia Kingdom has already been registered, and is the eldest son of Du Qi. If we want to cause chaos in the Xia Kingdom, and now Du Qi is not in the Xia Kingdom, Why don't you take action against Prince Xia?"
"no!"
Without even thinking about it, Li Shimin flatly refused.
Changsun Wuji said, "Why not?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Although I agree with the necessary ruthless measures for the benefit of the country. But this kind of method to assassinate Du Ye is unnecessary. Or, the method to poison Du Ye is also unnecessary."
"It's fine if the news doesn't leak out. Once Du Qi finds out the clues and finds out that it's Datang's operation, the consequences will be disastrous. At that time, Du Qi will retaliate wildly, and he will also take measures against me, the prince of the Great Tang Dynasty, and even the rest of the people under my knees." Heir."
"This kind of precedent has been set, and the consequences are unimaginable. No matter whether it is successful or not, no matter how likely it is to win, this method is never allowed. What's more, even though I hope to win Du Qi, I will not use such a method." wrist."
Li Shimin said: "It's not worthwhile to kill one thousand enemies and lose 800, or even lose two 800. Auxiliary machine, you have to keep it in mind, and don't get too deep."
Changsun Wuji said: "I understand."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "If you have nothing to do, step back, remember what I said."
"I will keep this in mind."
Changsun Wuji nodded and left.
Li Shimin looked at the back of Changsun Wuji leaving, shook his head and smiled. He asked himself that he could still be rational in dealing with Du Qi, but Changsun Wuji might not be able to. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
