Outside the city, in Xia Xia's military camp.
Du Qi's tens of thousands of troops were stationed here.
The army formation was strict and vast. Under such a premise, even if the camp was attacked, it would not be broken. After all, the layout of the camp was extremely strict.
In the main tent.
Du Qi was browsing the latest news, which was sent by Lai Ji. All of Zhao Dengyan's news was transferred to Lai Ji through bad people, and then Lai Ji was in charge of transmitting it.
Zhao Dengyan gave Tian Chen a hard time and set a three-day condition. Next, it would depend on Tian Chen's decision three days later. If Tian Chen did not hand over the 300 women, it would definitely cause a conflict. Therefore, there was already an undercurrent surging in Changcheng.
A conflict could happen at any time.
After Du Qi finished reading the letter, he arranged for someone to call Shangguan Yi over.
This time, Shangguan Yi was still the main strategist. As for Ma Zhou, he stayed in Gaochang City to deal with Du Ruhui's matter. Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others had to maintain the operation of the court, so most of them stayed behind.
As for the military, Ma Yuan and Xue Rengui came.
With this army, it was enough!
Shangguan Yi entered, bowed, and sat down in the tent.
Du Qi handed the letter to Shangguan Yi to read. Not long after, Shangguan Yi finished reading it, he said, "Your Majesty, Lai Ji is cooperating with Zhao Dengyan in the city. They are doing very well! According to this momentum, it won't be long before Tian Chen and the Turks have an internal conflict. Once the two sides fight, it will be easy for us to take down the county city. "
Du Qi said, "Lai Ji is indeed operating well. As long as he and Zhao Dengyan cooperate closely to incite the situation and create conflict, sooner or later, Changcheng will collapse on its own."
Shangguan Yi said, "However, Tongyehu has given a condition. He wants 300 women and Tian Chen to give him an explanation. This matter is a choice. In my opinion, Tian Chen might have three choices. "
Du Qi asked, "Which three?"
Shangguan Yi said, "The first option is to submit to Tongyehu and let him do whatever he wants. Not only do you have to give Tongyehu an explanation, but you also have to hand over my daughter. This arrangement is equivalent to disregarding the lives of the common people. "
"The second option is to ignore Tong Yehu and even threaten him. If he wants to start a war, then let's start a war. It's a bit like throwing a broken jar. The third option was to submit to the king and borrow the king's power to destroy Tongyehu. After all, Tongye Protector is currently overcharging within Dianzhuan City. His soldiers have robbed countless people, causing countless civilians to be injured. "
Shangguan Yi said, "the specific choice will depend on Tian Chen. But no matter which choice, there are both pros and cons."
Du Qi pondered carefully and said, "Tian Chen is an ambitious person. He is not someone who is willing to give up power. Under such circumstances, he could not give up the power in his hands. In other words, he will not choose to surrender. "
"However, there are so many common people in Dianzhuan City. Therefore, Tian Chen cannot ignore the common people. Otherwise, if he really gives away 300 common women, then the common people will definitely rebel. "
"Therefore, the final result is very likely that Tian Chen will choose the second plan and not give it to the common people for the time being. At the same time, he will act as if he will perish together with Tongyehu. At that time, Tongyehu will most likely take a step back for the sake of the overall situation. Once Tongyehu and Tian Chen fight, then the final result will definitely be us, the fisherman, who will benefit. "
Du Qi said, "Tongyehu, as a veteran general, will definitely understand this point."
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Highness is wise!"
After a pause, Shangguan Yi continued, "However, I think that if Tian Chen chooses the second plan, it is exactly what we can operate and make the situation more favorable to us."
Du Qi said, "Mr. Shangguan, how do you plan to operate this matter?"
Shangguan Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "actually, this is very simple. If we don't have Zhao Dengyan, it won't be easy for us to break through Dianzhuan City. "With Zhao Dengyan, we can wait for the three-day period to arrive and let Zhao Dengyan persuade Tongyehu to settle the matter peacefully. Then, let Zhao Dengyan urge Tongyehu. As for the specific plan, we will arrange it this way and this way …"
Immediately, Shangguan Yi explained the entire plan.
After all the plans were explained, Du Qi revealed an expression of agreement and said, "Not bad, not bad. Mr. Shangguan's plan makes sense. Under the current circumstances, Tongyehu is very likely to agree to this arrangement. Mr. Shangguan, according to your plan, send a letter to Lai Ji and let him coordinate with Zhao Dengyan. "
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi immediately agreed.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier entered to report.
After the soldier stood still, he said, "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the camp who calls himself Wang Yu. He says that he is your subordinate."
Wang Yu!
Du Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Wang Yu was the current patriarch of the Wang family of Taiyuan. Back then, Du Qi first killed the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Zongzhou, and then killed the successor, Wang Zongxi, and supported Wang Yu to take the position.
Later, during Li Yuan's period, Li Yuan constantly used the power of the imperial court to suppress the aristocratic families. Since then, the Wang family kept a low profile, especially the Wang family also cooperated with the imperial court to do many things. In the end, the Wang family's influence weakened a lot.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even so, the Wang family's strength could not be underestimated, and its foundation was still deep. After all, the power of the aristocratic families was intertwined and had too many connections.
Du Qi ordered, "Bring him in."
"Yes!"
The soldier went to pass the order, while Shangguan Yi got up to make arrangements, leaving only Du Qi alone in the tent. Not long after, Wang Yu entered the tent.
The current Wang Yu was much older. After all, so many years had passed, and Wang Yu was already over forty years old. In this era, a man in his forties could be a grandfather.
Even if Wang Yu took good care of himself, there were signs of wind and frost on his temples.
When Wang Yu entered the tent and saw Du Qi, there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes, but there was also a touch of emotion. In the past, Du Qi was only twenty years old, but he was already strategizing and calculating. Back then, after Wang Yu and Wang Qiao pledged their allegiance to Du Qi, they worked for Du Qi.
At that time, Wang Yu's judgment was that Du Qi was very powerful, and would definitely enter the imperial court and eventually be conferred the title of Marquis. Wang Yu did not expect that his judgment was still underestimated. Du Qi eventually occupied the western region and became the overlord of a region.
Wang Yu stepped forward and said, "Your humble servant Wang Yu greets Emperor Xia."
Back then, Wang Yu brought the Wang family to pledge their allegiance to Du Qi. In front of Du Qi, Wang Yu referred to himself as a humble servant, and at the same time, he wanted to get closer to Du Qi, and at the same time test Du Qi's attitude towards them.
Du Qi said, "Head of the Wang family, please rise."
After Wang Yu thanked him, he stood up and stood at the side respectfully.
Du Qi asked Wang Yu to sit down and said, "Head of the Wang family, after so many years, you suddenly came to the western region to look for me. Is there anything you need?"
