Liu Zhengxi nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. I understand. Apart from adjusting the government and officials of the four prefectures, I will also prepare enough food, money, and equipment. Once the war starts, we will be able to respond immediately. "
Du Qi said, "That's true."
Liu Zhengxi did not say anything else and left.
Du Qi stayed in Gaochang City for half a month. When Li Yanyun and Qianxue were about to be a month old, he left Gaochang and headed to the frontlines, Yanqi Province. Du Qi's current focus was still Gaochang City. After all, this was not Yizhou. Even if something happened, he could respond immediately.
When Du Qi arrived at Yanqi Province, it was already the 8th month.
Within Yanqi City.
There were also Jiang Changzong and Guo Xiaozheng.
The moment Du Qi arrived, he summoned the two and asked about the current situation in Qiuci City.
Guo Xiaozheng reported, "Your Highness, under Xue Rengui's arrangements, the entire Qiuci Country is now under our control. Additionally, the officials that should be adjusted in Qiuci Country have been transferred over from Yanqi Province. The general situation had already stabilized. However, we have not decided on the Provincial Governor of Qiuci Province yet. "
Hearing this, Du Qi fell into deep thought.
The Provincial Governor of Qiuci Province was extremely important. This was because Qiuci Province was Du Qi's westernmost territory.
Du Qi temporarily suppressed his thoughts of choosing a Provincial Governor and instructed, "Has Mo Heduo sent out troops in the West Region?"
"No!"
Guo Xiaozheng shook his head.
After pausing for a moment, Guo Xiaozheng continued, "Your Highness, regarding the Turks of the Western Regions, how should we deal with Tongyehu? Right now, Tongyehu was captured and imprisoned in Yanqi Country. Keeping him imprisoned is not a solution. After all, we have captured many Turks. Even if we keep the food, we consume a lot of food every day. "
Du Qi said, "As for the Western Turks, Mo Heduo has already usurped the throne. At this time, Tongyehu's protection is valuable. I'm prepared to release Tongyehu and have him return to the Western Regions. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Releasing the Tongyehu will allow the tiger to return to the mountain!"
Du Qi said, "In front of me, Tong Yehu is just a cat. Moreover, after the previous battle in the valley, Tong Yehu has witnessed the strength of our weapons and is already scared out of his wits. "
"They won't dare to make an enemy out of us for the time being."
"If more time passes, Tong Ye will forget about the pain and prepare to wrestle with me again. That's fine too! At that time, our strength will be even stronger, and it will be even easier to destroy Tongyehu. "
Du Qi said, "Tujue people do not read poetry or books, they are uneducated, they are afraid of power and not of virtue. What they fear is strength. As long as we are strong enough, nothing will be a problem. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness is right."
Du Qi immediately called for the soldiers to bring Tong Yehu over. At this moment, Tongyehu had lost a lot of weight and his eyes were filled with fear.
The battle in the valley made Tong Yehu fearful. Even now, whenever he thought of the battle in the valley, Tong Yehu felt a chill in his heart. He regretted provoking Du Qi.
If he knew that Du Qi had such weapons and strength, Tong Yehu would not have made an enemy out of Du Qi. In front of Du Qi's weapons, even if he had more soldiers, they would still be no match.
Tong Yehu knelt on the ground and saluted, "Sinner Tong Yehu pays respect to Ping Xiwang."
Du Qi said, "Tong Yehu, I called you here because I have a piece of news to tell you."
Tong Yehu said, "Please tell me, Ping Xiwang."
Du Qi said, "I received news that your uncle Mo Heduo raised an army in Qianquan and destroyed your base. You are no longer the Khan of the Western Turks. Mo Heduo declared himself as the Khan and eliminated your forces on a large scale. "
Shua!
Tong Yehu's expression changed greatly.
His face was filled with anger. His uncle Mo Heduo had always been eccentric when he was the Khan. Because Mo Heduo was not weak, Tong Yehu did not deal with him. He did not expect that after he left the Turks, Mo Heduo actually rebelled and destroyed his base.
Although Tong Yehu was headstrong and self-opinionated, he was an extremely smart person. When he heard Du Qi's words, he thought for a moment and had an idea. He kowtowed again and shouted, "Ping Xiwang, I am willing to submit and serve you. I only ask that Ping Xiwang let me go and let me lead my troops back to kill Mo Heduo, that damned traitor. Ping Xiwang, please be at ease. After I take down Mo Heduo, I will definitely lead my troops to submit. "
Du Qi sneered in his heart.
Lead his troops to submit?
That was impossible.
After Tong Yehu led his troops back to Qianquan, a war with Mo Heduo was inevitable. One point was that if Tong Yehu won, he would definitely stay in Qianquan and would not submit to Du Qi.
This was the nature of the Turks.
Of course, Du Qi did not expect Tong Yehu to submit. Because to Du Qi, what he wanted was to further weaken the Turks' power and promote the conflict between Tong Yehu and Mo Heduo.
As for Tong Yehu who won, Du Qi could slowly attack him in the future. Of course, if Tong Yehu was defeated, it would be fine. Anyway, he could achieve his goal of promoting the Turks' internal strife.
Du Qi said, "You are willing to submit to this King. This is a good thing. This King believes in you."
Tong Yehu said, "Your Highness, I have few troops now. It will be very difficult to defeat Mo Heduo. In order to completely defeat Mo Heduo, I beg Ping Xiwang to give me weapons that can defeat Mo Heduo. "
The so-called weapons were grenades and so on.
Du Qi said indifferently, "Don't think about weapons. You can't defeat Mo Heduo. You might as well submit to Mo Heduo and save your dog life. Letting you go is already a gift from this King. If you don't want to go back, this King will fulfill your wish and send you on your way. "
"No, no, no!"
Tong Yehu shook his head and said hurriedly, "I am willing to go back. I must destroy Mo Heduo. Even if Your Highness doesn't give me weapons, I will definitely win and destroy Mo Heduo for Your Highness. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Alright, go and wait. When this King is done, you will be released."
Du Qi waved his hand and someone came forward to bring Tong Yehu away.
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness, are we going to release Tong Yehu just like that?"
"Of course not!"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "If we release Tong Yehu so easily, although I am not afraid that he will counterattack in the future, in order to scheme against him, I will have to make arrangements."
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness, the plan is ready."
Du Qi said, "Men, bring Zhao Dengyan here."
The servant went to pass the order. When Guo Xiaozheng heard it, he immediately understood and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
It was Zhao Dengyan.
He was a good chess piece.
Not long after, Zhao Dengyan was brought in. He felt uneasy. From afar, he knelt on the ground and crawled forward. When he reached the center of the hall, he said, "Zhao Dengyan greets Your Highness Ping Xiwang."
