Outside the pavilion, by the side of the ancient path.
Fragrant grass stretched across the sky.
The outskirts of Sovereign Capital in March were filled with lush greenery. Especially at the beginning of spring in March, many places had already finished their spring plowing. Seedlings were growing in the fields, creating a vibrant scene.
And beside the path, there was a young man in his twenties standing in the pavilion.
He waited quietly.
Although the young man appeared calm, he would look in the direction of Sovereign Capital from time to time. He would glance at the path leading to Sovereign Capital to see if anyone was coming.
However, the young man was clearly disappointed when he did not see anyone after a few glances.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Then, he continued to wait.
The young man waited for a period of time. Suddenly, his ears pricked up. He heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. The young man hurriedly stood up and looked into the distance. He was surprised to see a group of people galloping over on the path leading to Sovereign Capital.
This group of people were all clad in armor.
All of them were galloping over on horseback.
"They're here. They're finally here."
The young man's eyes revealed a look of excitement. He hurriedly walked out of the pavilion and came to the path to wait quietly. It did not take long for the group of people to arrive at the young man's location.
The young man clasped his hands and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. This lowly one, Luo Binwang."
The group that came was Du Qi's group.
Du Qi was also rushing over on horseback.
When he left Sovereign Capital, many people sent him off. Du Qi was ordered to return. Along the way, no one stopped or sent him off, so his journey was smooth. However, Du Qi did not expect that after walking for a while, he would actually encounter someone blocking his path, and this person was actually Luo Binwang.
He naturally knew of Luo Binwang.
After all, Luo Binwang's' Song of the Goose 'was truly good.
'Goose, goose, goose, the neck sings to the sky.'
'White feathers floating on the green water, red palms plucking the clear waves.'
The poem could be considered a classic.
Luo Binwang, in particular, was extremely talented. Even Wu Zetian praised him for his outstanding learning. It was a pity that Luo Binwang's luck was not good. Throughout his life, he was not able to display his ambitions.
Du Qi looked at Luo Binwang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Why are you blocking the way?"
Luo Binwang said, "This commoner is here to seek refuge with Retired Emperor."
Du Qi said, "Oh, why are you seeking refuge with me?"
Luo Binwang continued, "The Retired Emperor abdicated the throne to the current Emperor in order to set off north and then south to attack Wo Nio. Furthermore, he wanted to deal with the distant Great Qin Empire. Luo Binwang is willing to serve Retired Emperor. "
Du Qi's eyes were sharp as he asked, "How do you know that We want to attack the Great Qin?"
Luo Binwang said, "The Imperial Court has never mentioned the Retired Emperor's intentions, nor has it announced that it is going to war. However, the Imperial Court's bulletin stated that they had discovered that Great Qin had taken over Japan and that Great Qin was located far away. Thinking about the abdication of the Retired Emperor, this commoner boldly guesses that the Retired Emperor wants to deal with the Great Qin. This commoner is slow-witted, but he is hot-blooded and is willing to follow the Retired Emperor to suppress the Great Qin. "
Du Qi nodded.
Luo Binwang's analysis was indeed correct.
This was a talented person.
Du Qi said, "Luo Binwang, We might not be able to go smoothly when we go to the Great Qin. You may even face great danger. Have you really thought this through? "
Luo Binwang said, "Even the Retired Emperor is not afraid, let alone this commoner. This commoner's life is just a lowly one, not worth mentioning. "
Du Qi said, "Alright, We will accept you."
Luo Binwang said excitedly, "Thank you, Retired Emperor!"
Luo Binwang's family was not bad in the early years. After all, his father was an official. Unfortunately, after his father died, his family quickly declined, and his life became poor. Fortunately, after Xia Xia unified the Tang dynasty, Luo Binwang lived a carefree life.
However, Luo Binwang missed the war of Xia Xia's establishment.
He did not participate in it to build a career.
Luo Binwang felt regretful.
Very regretful.
Now that he could follow Du Qi, Luo Binwang's heart was naturally very excited.
Du Qi ordered, "You don't have to call me Retired Emperor in the future. Just call me Your Majesty. After I go to sea and take over the Great Qin, it will be another Xia Xia. "
Luo Binwang said, "I will obey Your Majesty's orders."
Du Qi said, "Luo Binwang, I want to attack Wo. What strategy do you have?"
Luo Binwang said, "Your Majesty, to attack Wo, we must first have enough information. If we don't have enough information, then we can only talk about the general direction and strategy. Moreover, the feasibility may not be high. "
Du Qi said, "It doesn't matter. Just give it a try."
After hearing this, Luo Binwang knew that this was Du Qi's test. He was very calm and did not think for long. In the blink of an eye, he said, "Your Majesty, I think there are three aspects to consider if we want to attack Wo."
Du Qi said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Luo Binwang said, "The first aspect is the preparation of food, weapons, and warships to go to sea. As the saying goes, food and fodder must be prepared before the troops and horses move. In fact, not only food and fodder, but also weapons and materials must be prepared. If it's not going to sea, then it's fine. However, it's different and more complicated when it comes to going to sea. "
"That's exactly the case. We must be well prepared."
"Make sure that once Xia Xia's warships get close to Wo, they can directly land and dock."
Luo Binwang said, "This is the first aspect."
Du Qi said, "What's the second aspect?"
Luo Binwang continued, "The second aspect is the investigation of information. Since Xia Xia already knows the situation in Wo, he must have some spies in Wo. Therefore, we must use this group of people to find out the situation of the Great Qin's army in Wo and understand the situation. Only in this way can we ensure that we can target them. "
"If the other party is strong and we clearly don't have enough troops, we will be courting death."
"Therefore, we must know ourselves and the enemy."
"Make sure that we can win when we arrive in Wo, or at least gain a firm foothold."
Luo Binwang said, "This is the second aspect of my analysis."
Du Qi nodded and said, "What's the third aspect?"
Luo Binwang said again, "The third aspect is to rope in the local forces of Wo for our own use. There will definitely be people opposed to Great Qin seizing Wo. It's impossible that no one will be an enemy of Great Qin. Therefore, before we arrive, arrange for people to rope in the local forces. When we arrive, we can use them to fight. We won't be alone and helpless when we arrive in Wo. "
After a pause, Luo Binwang said, "If we can directly defeat Great Qin's army, it's not a big deal. However, if we are not strong enough, we will need the local forces. Moreover, after defeating Great Qin's army, we will need people to govern Wo. With these local forces, it will be beneficial for us to maintain law and order in Wo. "
After Du Qi heard this, a look of approval appeared on his face and he said, "Although there are still many aspects, they are not perfect. There are even some aspects that are not very useful, but it's still not bad. "
Luo Binwang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He had passed!
He had finally passed!
Du Qi continued, "From now on, you will be by my side as a registrar and will be in charge of handling the matters around me. At the same time, you will be an advisor to the army. "
Luo Binwang said, "This subordinate understands!"
At this moment, Luo Binwang knew that he had truly gained a foothold.
Du Qi did not waste any more time and gave the order to set off again.
The group continued north.
