In the room where Li Ji was, he was reading a book.
Now there is a war, so Li Ji lives and eats on the tower. It's just that there is no war now, and he is trapped in the city, so he doesn't have much to do, he can only read books all day long. Entering the weather in May, the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions is large, and the weather in May is a little hotter, so Li Ji's clothes in the room are quite thin.
When he was reading, it was Changsun Wuji who hurried in. There was a smile on Changsun Wuji's face, and he said, "Mr. Li, Your Majesty has written."
Putting down the book in Li Ji's hand, he immediately asked, "Duke Qi, what did His Majesty say in his letter?"
Changsun Wuji quickly said: "Your Majesty said, let us guard Jiuquan County with all our strength. In addition, an envoy from the Persian Kingdom to the west of the Xia Kingdom was arranged to meet with His Majesty, and said that the Persian Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty formed an alliance and were willing to attack the Xia Kingdom together. And The envoys of the Persian Kingdom have brought back the formula of gunpowder. Next, the Persian Congress will prepare gunpowder and attack the rear of the Xia Kingdom. Du Qi¡¯s army is left here in Jiuquan County. After a while, the Persian Kingdom suddenly enters. Du Qi was attacked from the front and back, and he was flanked back and forth, so he couldn't be rampant anymore."
Li Ji also had a smile on his face, and said, "This is indeed good news."
With Persia, it is easier to deal with Du Qi.
After all, the Persian country in the west is also extremely powerful, not a weak country.
Li Ji changed the subject, and said again: "In your Majesty's letter, did you mention whether he will send troops to fight again?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Your Majesty never said, but in the letter, he said that we should guard with all our strength to resist Du Qi's army. Under the current situation, we are guarding Jiuquan County, which is enough to stabilize the situation. So Your Majesty On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with not sending troops. Moreover, Persia has not yet sent troops, so it is normal for His Majesty not to send troops for the time being. His Majesty will make a decision after the Persian attack."
Li Ji nodded and said, "What Duke Qi said is true."
Changsun Wuji said: "So right now, we just need to wait for Persia's attack."
Li Ji said: "Just waiting for Persia to attack is tantamount to handing over the initiative of this war to Persia. Moreover, there are still some flaws in this arrangement. What if Persia doesn't send troops? So I think , we still need to make sufficient preparations right now.¡±
Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment when he heard Li Ji's words. Because in the present moment, it is entirely possible. Between countries, there are only eternal interests, without any obligations, and without any kindred spirits. After the Persian kingdom has gained benefits, it is possible not to send troops, so it is still necessary to make more preparations.
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, we really need to make some arrangements. If we don't make arrangements in advance, if Persia regrets not sending troops, then we will be in trouble."
Li Ji nodded and said: "That's what it means, but the situation is still not very good under the current situation. Because if we rely solely on ourselves, once we leave the city, we will be blocked by Du Qi. The only thing we can do now is to delay time."
Changsun Wuji said: "The only thing we have to arrange is that as long as we can't stop it, we will withdraw our troops. After all, at the moment, it is impossible to counterattack."
The two of them looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces. Up to now, when discussing the strategy to deal with Xia Guo, it turns out that the first thing to do is to discuss the retreat plan, and each of them says that they can't stop it.
While the two were talking, suddenly, another soldier entered.
The soldier put a letter on the ground, saying: "Director Li, a letter from Chang'an."
Li Ji took the letter and quickly browsed it. This time, after reading it, he had a solemn expression on his face, and he was no longer relaxed and comfortable as before.
Changsun Wuji knew something was wrong when he saw the situation, and quickly said: "But what happened?"
Li Ji said: "Li Xiaogong's family disappeared. According to His Majesty's judgment, it was Du Qi who arranged for someone to contact him in Chang'an and took Li Xiaogong's family away quietly. For this reason, His Majesty was furious and ordered the arrest of Xia Guo in Chang'an." The merchants are all jointly interrogated by the bad guys, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. Right now, Chang'an is already full of blood and blood."
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "I said at the beginning that this Li Xiaogong is not a kind person, nor is he loyal to His Majesty. It's just that His Majesty said that Li Xiaogong is a clan relative and should not be dealt with. He just arranged for bad people to stare at him. Look at the present, no Something has happened. Li Xiaogong, like Du Qi, is also a rebellious person. When I went to the Hejian County Palace on behalf of His Majesty, I wanted to beat Li Xiaogong to make him obedient. Unexpectedly, I was humiliated by him , was beaten by him. Now, Li Xiaogong is really the opposite. This person is simply damned. If I knew this earlier, I should have taken down Li Xiaogong to prevent future troubles. "
Li Ji said in a deep voice: "This is the end of the matter, there is nothing to say. Now that Li Xiaogong has disappeared, there is one less person holding back Du Qi. Now that Datang is going to turn against Du Qi, there is no one who can hold back Du Qi."
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, I have a way to restrain Du Qi, and even alleviate our current predicament."
Li Ji was taken aback.
This Changsun Wuji's thinking changed too quickly. It was still related to Li Xiaogong's affairs in Chang'an just now, but now, it suddenly changed, and it involved Du Qi's current situation.
Li Ji asked: "What way?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Now His Majesty is in Chang'an, detaining countless merchants from the Xia Kingdom, and even interrogating businessmen. His Majesty has already adopted such means. We are on the front line, so we have no scruples. I propose, directly Arrange people to lurk out of Suzhou, sneak into Shazhou, Guazhou, and even the Xia State's rear, and assassinate Xia State's officials. In this way, the Xia State's rear will definitely be in turmoil."
Li Ji frowned upon hearing this.
This is a cruel move.
Especially if Datang arranged this way, Du Qi may take the same method to retaliate in the next step.
When it comes to the situation of hidden piles, Du Qi is an expert in this field, and there are countless people Du Qi arranges in Xia Guo alone. Once Du Qi intends to carry out the strategy of assassination, it will definitely cause countless casualties.
Li Ji said: "Duke Qi, this is a taboo!"
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Even if it's a taboo, what's the matter? Now we are fighting with Xia Guo, and we have reached the point where we can't stop. If we can't stop this battle, then Suzhou will be lost." .As for the next step, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil. So in this regard, I think there is no time to delay, and we should take harsh measures."
Li Ji remained silent.
For a while, he hadn't made a decision yet.
Li Ji couldn't make a decision, so he immediately arranged for someone to notify Wei Zheng. After Wei Zheng was invited, he talked about the current situation in Chang'an and Changsun Wuji's suggestion. What do you think about it?"
Wei Zheng said: "Now Director Li is in charge of the overall situation and the movement of the army. So you can arrange this matter directly, and you don't need to ask me."
Li Ji sighed in his heart when he heard the words.
Wei Zheng made it clear that he would not interfere with this matter.
Deliberately evading like this.
Changsun Wuji said forcefully: "Director Li, just make arrangements. If something happens to this matter, I will take full responsibility, and you don't need to be responsible for this matter."
Li Ji said: "Duke Qi doesn't have to be like this, I just want to think more about it. After all, this matter is too big to be too casual. If this matter is not handled well, it will easily leave future troubles. Next, I will arrange people to leave Suzhou and prepare to assassinate Xia Guo officials."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said no more.
Li Ji talked about some details, and then quickly arranged it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
