August passed away in a blink of an eye and entered September.
The weather in September is even cooler.
Du Qi's army was still stationed in Zhangye, and never continued to attack Longyou Dao. But now, the entire Ganzhou has been brought under Du Qi's command. Even during this period of time, some local officials from Longyou Dao, as well as some local gentry clansmen, contacted Du Qi actively, hoping to be Du Qi's internal support.
?After all, news has spread from outside that Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda will be sent as envoys, and Longyou Dao will soon be ceded to Xia Guo. So under this premise, people's hearts have long been floating.
However, in September, Du Qi has not received any news from Li Shimin, so the situation is a bit tricky. In Du Qi's heart, he already infers that Li Shimin may not accept the conditions for ceding Longyou Dao.
After all, this is tantamount to cutting flesh.
It's not a small thing.
In particular, Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ceded Longyou Road to Xia Guo, which had a great influence on the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, so even if Li Shimin refused, Du Qi could understand.
If you want to talk about anger, it's not enough. The reason is very simple. During this period of time, Du Qi kept arranging bad people to infiltrate Longyou Dao. Under this premise, the mastery of Longyou Dao has been continuously strengthened. .
So Du Qi is not worried at all.
Delaying time has no effect on Du Qi, Xia Guo still has an absolute advantage. From the beginning to the end, Du Qi never arranged for someone to notify Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, instead of urging them, he just waited.
On this day, Du Qi took people out of the camp and wandered around the city with nothing to do.
Today's Zhangye has regained its prosperity.
It was very lively with people coming and going.
After all, after Ganzhou belonged to Xia Kingdom, merchants quickly arrived to do business, and the people settled down. Even some factories have followed suit, because the less prosperous the place, the lower the labor cost, so many factories are willing to come.
Du Qi is very satisfied with Zhangye like this. He can recover quickly, which is the best result.
When Du Qi took Mo Ledo around, a soldier quickly came to Du Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, I have the latest news to send back. The Chief Shangguan invites you to go back. "
"knew."
Du Qi nodded, and returned to the army with Morado.
As soon as he entered the camp, Shangguanyi bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, we have been lurking in the Tang Dynasty, and even the bad people in Longyou Dao have sent back the latest news. The Tang Dynasty refused to cede Longyou Dao¡¯s conditions. In addition, Datang has also introduced measures to resist our Xia¡¯s army.¡±
Du Qi asked: "Did Tang officially issue a decree and inform the world?"
"This has never happened!"
Shangguanyi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the news from the bad guys is that the Tang side has issued an order to recruit people of insight, form an army on their own, and go to Longyou Road to resist us. Anyone who can stop me People from the national army can block the army of the Xia Kingdom from Longyou Dao, directly seal the king of Longxi, sit in the Longyou Dao, and be hereditary. This order is not to reject our conditions, and to fight to the death with our Xia Kingdom ?"
Du Qi heard the words but laughed, and said: "Whose idea is this arrangement! Such an arrangement may be useful. But how can a group of mobs resist the army of Xia Kingdom. Li Shimin is now at the end of his rope. !"
Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty is wise, Li Shimin really has nothing to do." Du Qidao: "It seems that Li Shimin will not summon the world alone to say that he refuses to seek peace. Because Li Shimin does not issue edicts now, and does not specifically Issuing the imperial edict may delay the time. If you delay a little longer, you can gain more opportunities and let more people gather in Longyou Dao."
Shangguanyi said: "Li Shimin seems to be making a wonderful move, but in fact, he has no choice."
After a pause, Shangguanyi continued: "In today's Longyou Dao, there are indeed many people gathered in Longyou Dao, intending to compete for the King of Longxi. Li Shimin's bait made many ambitious people, They all gathered in Longyou Road."
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "It's okay, these people are not worth mentioning."
Shangguan Yi said: "Your Majesty, Datang has rejected our terms. So how should we arrange Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda here? After all, Li Tang has already rejected our kindness, even if Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were beheaded, that would not Too much."
Du Qi shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."
The two countries do not cut off their troopsSo, Du Qi didn't need to kill these two people.
Shangguanyi's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Your Majesty, at this critical moment of fighting with the Tang Dynasty, actually beheading Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda can kill the chickens and scare the monkeys and deter the Tang Dynasty."
Du Qi said: "Killing people is very simple, but in fact, our war with Datang has turned from defense to offense and started a full-scale offensive. After our army has completely captured Longyou Dao, the next step is to divide our troops and attack gradually. Seize the whole country of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the current Tang Dynasty is already leaking from all sides, and the trend of defeat is obvious."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "So at the moment, we still have to keep talents. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, we will face the problem of governing the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is Wei Zheng or Kong Yingda, they are all talents, and they will be released temporarily. Datang, keep it for us to use later. Governing Datang is different from Tianzhu. The situation in Tianzhu is very simple. It seems complicated, but in fact it is not complicated. On the contrary, the situation in Datang is more difficult to govern. .¡±
Shangguanyi said after listening, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qidao: "Come here!"
When the soldiers entered, Du Qi ordered: "Go and inform Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda to discuss matters."
Not long after, Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda entered.
The two bowed to Du Qi to salute.
Du Qi looked at the two of them, and said lightly, "It's been a little over a month since Prime Minister Wei and Kong Jijiu. The soldiers you sent back to pass the message have already returned to Chang'an. But from the beginning to the end, there was no one in Chang'an. reply letter. Have you ever received the letter sent back by Li Shimin?"
"Never!"
Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda shook their heads and answered.
In fact, after waiting for a month, they still haven't heard any news yet. Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda already have a clue in their hearts. It must be Li Shimin's refusal to cede Longyou Dao, so there has been no news.
These are the original words of Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng has made it very clear in the letter that once Li Shimin wants to refuse, he will deliberately delay the time and don't care about their safety.
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Wei Xiang and Kong Jijiu, it seems that Li Shimin really didn't take the lives of the two of you seriously. Why do you say that, because now Datang has already taken action and called on countless people with knowledge Those who offer rewards to heroes, as long as they are able to recruit soldiers in Longyou Dao to resist our Xia army, they will be crowned King of Longxi, hereditary, and they will stay in Longyou Dao forever."
"This is Li Shimin's reply."
"It's Li Shimin's decision."
Du Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "You say, under this premise, would Li Shimin still agree to the cession? He would definitely not agree. However, Li Shimin took action, but he never arranged for anyone to notify you two. It can be seen The two of you are now abandoned sons, just like the old grandson Wuji, who was forced to kill himself, and then Li Yuan brought the corpse to me to beg for peace."
Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda frowned slightly.
To say that Li Shimin gave up on them, in fact, the two had already been psychologically prepared. It's just that they are mentally prepared, and there are still some differences between Du Qi and Du Qi when they say it, and after Du Qi said it, the two of them still feel a little sad in their hearts.
Li Shimin's resistance was expected by them, and even they had already given suggestions in letters, but Li Shimin did not arrange for anyone to notify them so that they could respond.
This is a bit chilling.
There is still a difference between making one more arrangement and not making any arrangements. Subtleties can detect people's hearts. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
