    ?

    Wei Zheng hurried on with two guards, because he was in a hurry, so he rode forward.  Along the way, Wei Zheng didn't delay for a moment, and because Du Qi had already led the army to set off for Anrong Pass, Wei Zheng only drove for half a day before meeting Xia Guo's army on the way.

    Wei Zheng immediately stepped forward to ask for an audience.

    The soldiers were a little surprised when they learned that Wei Zheng had come to see him.  One must know that Wei Zheng was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but now he came to ask for an audience again.  Especially at this time when the two armies are hostile, it is surprising that Wei Zheng dared to come.

    The soldiers did not dare to delay, and quickly came to Du Qi's side to report.

    Du Qi immediately ordered Wei Zheng to be invited.

    Shangguanyi has been following Du Qi's side, but he frowned when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng's intention should be very simple. It is to seek peace again and hope that we will stop attacking. This matter cannot be agreed.  Once we agree to Wei Zheng, the Tang Dynasty will come back from the ashes. It is not a good thing to kill a tiger and get hurt by a tiger."

    Du Qi nodded slightly and said: "I know what to do. If we hadn't conquered Longyou Dao before and defeated Li Shimin, the last force, I might have temporarily accepted Li Shimin's request for peace before I completely occupied Longyou Dao."  On the right, after gaining a firm foothold, find a reason to attack again."

    "Now, the situation is different."

    "Li Shimin's army suffered countless losses, and the country of the Tang Dynasty has become a mess. At this moment, it is an excellent opportunity for us to make a move. Instead of killing the opponent in one go, we will give him a chance to revive.  That's a fool. It is impossible for me to stop fighting now."

    Du Qi said solemnly: "This time, we must fight to the end, and we will not stop until Chang'an. The Great Tang can no longer survive."

    Shangguanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

    What he was worried about was that Du Qi was soft-hearted.

    ? Once Du Qi agreed to Wei Zheng's request, he would act on his own will and give Li Shimin a chance to breathe.  You must know that there are many examples in the history books of a tiger returning to the mountain but being injured by a tiger. Goujian and Fucha are the simplest examples.

    After Fu Chai defeated the Yue Kingdom, he only needed one sentence to determine Goujian's life and death, completely destroy the Yue Kingdom, and cut off future troubles.  Fu Chai was self-righteous, and eventually led to being overthrown by Gou Jian, so that the state of Wu was destroyed.

    This is a precedent that must never be repeated.

    Not long after, Wei Zheng came.

    Today's Wei Zheng is quite tired. After all, Wei Zheng is also getting old. He rode his horse and galloped all the way, his legs were trembling a little, and his back was slightly bent and trembling when he walked.  Wei Zheng endured the discomfort in his body, and when he saw Du Qi, Wei Zheng bowed and saluted, "Wei Zheng, envoy of the Tang Dynasty, see Emperor Xia."

    Du Qidao: "Wei Xiang is here today, what's the important thing?"

    He was still kind to Wei Zheng.

    Never turned away.

    Let's first look at Wei Zheng's intentions, whether he really came to seek peace and stop the war.

    Wei Zhengdao: "Reporting to Emperor Xia, the next time I come here is to stop the war and seek peace again."

    Du Qi sneered.

    Wei Zheng heard Du Qi's sneer, but his expression was calm. After all, the last time he sued for peace, Du Qi gave him face. Even if Li Shimin went to war directly, Du Qi did not detain him, but released him.  Now, it is reasonable for him to come to seek peace again, and it is reasonable to hit a wall, so Wei Zheng has long been prepared.

    Wei Zheng was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Emperor Xia, Your Majesty, regarding the conditions you gave before, now that you think about it, you feel that Emperor Xia's conditions are very sincere, and His Majesty is even more regretful. It is a pity that before that, when it involved big  Tang completeness involves Datang's interests, so His Majesty chose to fight."

    After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Emperor Xia, in fact, this is a matter of human nature. If this matter is placed on Emperor Xia, can Emperor Xia cede the land? His Majesty's move is understandable, but it is a pity  Emperor Xia's painstaking efforts. This time I came to ask for peace, I came with sincerity, and I beg Emperor Xia to give me a chance."

    He can only be moved with emotion, hoping that Du Qi can hold his hand high.

    Because today, the situation is very unfavorable.

    Du Qi shook his head and said, "Wei Xiang, Li Shimin's decision is Li Shimin's own business. But I can't ignore the interests of my Xia people because of Li Shimin's decision. I, Du Qi, have to be responsible for the soldiers under my command.  The Great Tang and the Xia Kingdom have been fighting for such a long time, resulting in countless casualties. At this moment, if I agree with Li Shimin to seek peace, what face would I have to face the dead soldiers, and what face would I have to withdraw my troops and return?"

    Wei Zheng felt even more helpless.

    Because of what happened last time, Du Qi felt resentment in his heart, so Du Qi didn't want to agree, that's normalof.

    Wei Zheng did not give up.

    With a trace of longing in his eyes, he said again: "Xia Huang, I came this time with sincerity. Your Majesty is seeking peace with Xia Huang this time, and is willing to pay tribute. The Great Tang belongs to Xia Guo and recognizes Xia Guo.  It is the suzerain state. And the Great Tang pays tribute to the Xia Kingdom every year. Please Emperor Xia, give the Great Tang a chance to survive. The Great Tang has pinned the hopes of too many people."

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Wei Xiang, I admire and admire your request and your loyalty. It's a pity that you represent the Tang Dynasty and I represent the Xia Kingdom. I can admire you  , but I can¡¯t fulfill you. If I fulfill Datang, who will fulfill my country of Xia. So this time, I will not agree to Datang¡¯s peace proposal. This time, I will definitely fight to the end and break Datang.¡±

    Wei Zheng's expression was even more solemn when he heard the words.

    Du Qi refused again.

    How to persuade?

    Wei Zheng is not reconciled, and once he leaves now, how can he be worthy of Li Shimin's entrustment.  And once he left, it would be almost impossible to hold Du Qi back.  At the moment, Wei Zheng cannot leave no matter what.

    Wei Zheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said again: "Emperor Xia, for you, the Great Tang is now in decline, and you only need one hand to crush the Great Tang. Such a Great Tang  , does not pose a threat to the Xia Kingdom, so why not give Datang a chance? Datang professes to Emperor Xia, and pays tribute every year, except that Datang is willing to cede territory for peace."

    Du Qi flicked his sleeves and said: "Wei Xiang, if the monarch of the Tang Dynasty is a stupid and incompetent person, even if the Tang Dynasty is allowed to survive, then it is nothing. But the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not someone else.  , but Li Shimin."

    "Li Shimin, who has risen from troubled times, is not only good at commanding troops, but also good at governing places. Such people are by no means ordinary people, and they are not easy to deal with. To put it bluntly, if I hadn't had gunpowder, grenades and  Landmines, and now there are such sharp weapons as mortars, if you want to deal with Li Shimin, you may not be able to win, the outcome may be 50-50, or even not even 50-50."

    "After all, Li Shimin's army is actually even more powerful. Especially Li Shimin's Xuanjia Jingqi, which is the elite of the elite. So now, if you let me let Li Shimin go, don't you let me go back to the mountain?"

    Du Qi said: "Wei Xiang, if you are Zhen, or if you stand in my position, can you spare Li Shimin?"

    Wei Zheng was even more worried.

    Du Qi's determination to destroy Xia Guo was really determined.

    Du Qi will never give up on immortal Tang Dynasty.

    Wei Zheng cannot allow such a situation to happen. After all, he is in his position to seek his own government. Since he is working for Li Shimin, he should complete the task of envoy for Li Shimin.  Wei Zheng turned his mind quickly, and suddenly, he had already figured it out.

    Have an idea.

    He wanted to take a gamble to see if Du Qi would be willing.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
