Shangguan Yi's expression was very calm as he unhurriedly said, "Wind Gully Valley is flanked by weathered valleys, and there is only one path that leads to the easternmost part of Rouyuan County. If one were to set up an ambush on this mountain, because the surrounding area is weathered and sparsely populated, it would be almost impossible to discover.
"Only this place is the most suitable place for an ambush. Besides Wind Gully Valley, there are no other suitable places for an ambush. Thus, this subject believes that Hou Junji has most likely set up an ambush here. "
Shangguan Yi continued, "For Hou Junji, on one hand, he has a deep grudge with His Majesty and wants to avenge his humiliation. On the other hand, Hou Junji must know that His Majesty is the core of Xia Xia. If he can kill His Majesty, Xia Xia will definitely be thrown into endless turmoil. At that time, even if Xia Xia has grenades and other weapons, he might not be able to stop the Tang dynasty in the turmoil of the people. Although this arrangement will be extremely dangerous, Hou Junji is not like Hou Junji. But Hou Junji won't consider the bigger picture like Su Dingfang. He'll definitely choose to strike. "
After carefully examining the map, Du Qi asked, "What are your thoughts on Shangguan Yi's suggestion?"
Ma Zhou said, "This subject agrees."
Lai Ji added, "This subject also agrees."
Guan Zhilan stood to the side, looking at Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, and Lai Ji with praise in his eyes and admiration on his face. Shangguan Yi and the other two were truly too formidable. They had managed to deduce everything.
This was truly a strategist in a tent.
When this matter had first started, Shangguan Yi and the other two had already deduced many possibilities, and in the end, they had come to a conclusion that Hou Junji would be placed in an ambush. This conjecture had already taken into account Hou Junji's personality and situation, as well as various factors such as the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right mentality.
Guan Zhilan had read books on the art of war. When he was studying, he came across Sun Tzu's The Art of War. It was written, "When a man is in the temple before a battle, he must calculate many things. When a man is not in the temple before a battle, he must calculate few things. When a man is in the temple before a battle, he must calculate many things. When a man is not in the temple before a battle, he must calculate few things.
At that time, Guan Zhilan felt that this thing was very fake. How could he judge everything clearly? But now, Guan Zhilan had seen it for himself. He understood, and his expression became even more humble. Guan Zhilan clearly knew that this was his opportunity. If he grasped this opportunity, he would definitely be able to learn something.
Du Qi said seriously, "Since we all agree with Shangguan Yi's analysis, the next step is our response. Wind Gully Valley might be ambushed. How should we deal with it? Also, how will we deal with the aftermath? "
Du Qi agreed with Shangguan Yi and the other two's analysis.
So, they had to make a response.
Ma Zhou's eyes were sharp. He said, "Your Majesty, since we know that Wind Gully Valley might be ambushed, the response is relatively simple. The other party has people in the valley and then they will attack us. Your humble servant's plan is to lure the snake out of its hole. "
Speaking of this, Ma Zhou immediately described a detailed layout and explained all the details clearly. After everything was said, Ma Zhou said seriously, "Your Majesty, this is the general plan. Your Majesty, please make a decision."
Du Qi said, "Ma Zhou's plan is very detailed. It is indeed good. Now, we will follow this plan. "
"Yes!"
Ma Zhou immediately responded.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, it will not be difficult to take down this group of people who want to ambush us. This subject thinks that this is a chance to knock down the Tang Dynasty again. We have maintained peace with the Tang Dynasty until now. But no matter what, the Tang Dynasty is definitely eyeing our Great Xia like a tiger eyeing its prey. If Hou Junji did not make the first move, it would not be convenient for us to make a move. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi continued, "Now that Hou Junji has made the first move, it gives us another chance to scheme against him and the Tang Dynasty. The enemy has already delivered his face to us. If we do not agree and comply with his request to give him a slap in the face, it will be too much of a pity. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Shangguan Yi, how do you plan to deal with Hou Junji?"
Shangguan Yi said, "Secretly send an order to Xue Rengui, Ma Zhou, and Xiao Yuanqi. Mobilize 100,000 soldiers led by the three of them and have them quietly come to Rouyuan County. If there is an assassination attempt, we will rush to Guazhou and kill our way to Guazhou City. "
At this point, Shangguan Yi said with killing intent, "At that time, let's see how Hou Junji will deal with it. The best way is to force Su Dingfang to hand over Hou Junji again. Otherwise, we will break the county and sweep through Guazhou. With Hou Junji in our hands, this is a perfect opportunity for us to threaten the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this may not be the case. We just need to act accordingly. In short, killing our way into Guazhou is an opportunity. "
Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this subject objects."
Du Qi said, "The reason?"
Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "If we do this, we will be asking a tiger for its skin and even provoking it. It is true that Your Majesty was ambushed by Hou Junji. But if we kill our way into Guazhou, it is very likely to cause a big change. "
"At that time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, may mobilize his army again. It has been some time since Li Shimin withdrew his army. Although Li Shimin has not taken down Tubo yet, at least now, the strength of the Tang Dynasty has improved. "
"According to the latest news, the business of the banks in the Tang Dynasty is gradually shrinking. This is because the Tang Dynasty has gradually begun to target the banks and compete with them for business. The Tang Dynasty is promoting the banks to reduce the influence of the banks. "
Ma Zhou said, "Under this premise, even if Li Shimin starts a war with us, there will not be too much instability in the Tang Dynasty, because Li Shimin is now enough to stabilize the situation."
Shangguan Yi heard this and directly refuted, "I don't agree with Ma Zhou's suggestion."
The two were vaguely at odds.
Shangguan Yi said, "I can understand Ma Zhou's meaning. He hopes that Your Majesty will continue to conceal your strength and continue to develop your strength after a slight counterattack. When we have sufficient strength, it won't be too late to fight the Tang Dynasty. "
"I don't think this matter can be tolerated."
"If Hou Junji arranged for people to ambush Your Majesty today, but the Great Xia did nothing, what would the people think? They would think that Your Majesty is afraid of the Tang Dynasty and that our Great Xia is inferior to the Tang Dynasty. This is a loss to the country and will make the people lose their pride. "
"This is precisely the case. We must respond and let the people see the strength of our Great Xia, let them know that our Great Xia is tyrannical, and let them be proud to be the people of our Great Xia."
Shangguan Yee continued, "Moreover, Hou Junji was the one who instigated this assassination.
"It is Hou Junji's responsibility."
"It is the fault of the Tang Dynasty."
"We have no need to fear, and there is no need to worry. As for Li Shimin really starting a war, what do we have to fear? Our Great Xia has swept through the Western Regions and destroyed the Western Turkic Khagan, and our strength is unprecedentedly strong. "
"Now, we don't fear the Tang Dynasty."
Shangguan Yi said aggressively, "Therefore, if the Tang Dynasty wants to invade, they must pay the price. If they don't pay the price, it is impossible to settle this matter or even resolve it. "
Ma Zhou said seriously, "In short, I don't agree with starting a war now. It is not time for us to stir up trouble. We need to develop our strength and strengthen our Great Xia's foundation. "
As the two argued, they both looked at Du Qi.
They were waiting for Du Qi's decision.
