Outside Guazhou City, in the barracks.
Du Qi's army had already set up camp and set up camp. Nearly one hundred thousand soldiers had gathered here, occupying a vast area. Within the main tent, Du Qi, Shangguan Yi, and the others were seated. Hou Junji had already been captured, but Du Qi didn't interrogate him because there was no point in doing so.
Du Qi looked at Shangguan Yi and the others and ordered, "Tell me how we should break into Guazhou City. Su Dingfang was not someone who would fall for Hou Junji's casual prodding. Su Dingfang isn't easy to scheme against. "
Shangguan Yi said seriously, "Your Majesty, this subject has carefully observed Guazhou City. The walls of Guazhou City are extremely sturdy, and they're all made of bluestone. Even if we bombard such a city with gunpowder, it won't be of much use. In addition, when I came to the Western Regions, I once stayed in Guazhou City. Guazhou City has a barbican. Even if we think of a way to break the city gates, it will be very difficult to kill our way into the inner city. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi said, "Because in Weng City, our army will be ambushed as soon as we enter. Thus, our strategy of forcefully attacking won't work. We have to start from another angle. "
Du Qi said, "How do you plan on choosing a breakthrough point?"
Shangguan Yi shook his head, "This subject hasn't thought of a breakthrough point yet. Su Dingfang is a person who treats his subordinates very well, and he loves his soldiers as if they were his children. To instigate Su Dingfang's men to rebel is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Thus, it won't be easy to break into Guazhou City. "
Du Qi nodded and looked at Ma Zhou and Lai Ji, waiting for them to speak.
He wanted to see what they suggested.
Ma Zhou said seriously, "Your Majesty, it won't be that difficult for us to break into Guazhou City."
Du Qi smiled, "How so?"
Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to this matter, it's actually quite a coincidence. When we arrived at Yiwu County, we spent some time in Yiwu County. This subject wandered around Yiwu County and even went to take a look at the University of Science and Technology. When I entered the University of Science and Technology, I saw a very shocking scene. "
Hearing Ma Zhou's explanation, Du Qi was not in a hurry. He asked, "What did you see at that time?"
Ma Zhou said, "When I was at the School of Production, I saw someone flying a kite out of the mountain inside the school. The kite circled in the air and moved forward bit by bit. At that time, this subject was shocked. After this subject inquired, I learned that the flying kite in this courtyard is called a flying kite. With this flying kite, it was enough to arrange for people to fly into the city. We will organize a large number of flying kites and let the soldiers use them to enter the city. As long as we have hundreds of soldiers in the city, it will be easy to break into Guazhou City. "
Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Ma Zhou, the existence of flying kites can indeed bring people into the city. The problem is that the kites can only be controlled by one person. Of course, if they cooperate well, two people may be able to control them, but it's almost impossible. "
"One person will need hundreds of flying kites to send hundreds of people in. Can we mobilize so many flying kites in such a short amount of time? It's definitely impossible. "
"Especially when we go to inform the School of Science and Technology to prepare for the snow. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Moreover, it takes time to create flying kites, which will take even more time. Most importantly, once news of Hou Junji's defeat gets out, Chang 'an will definitely make a move. With Li Shimin's urgency, it's impossible for him to give us enough time to create flying kites. "
Du Qi said, "Your plan is not feasible."
If the School of Production had hot air balloons and could use them to carry people, it would be very easy to fly into the city and break into Guazhou City. After all, hot air balloons could carry many people. However, flying kites could only carry one person. Flying kites were suitable for sending messages, but not for large-scale operations.
After Ma Zhou heard this, he fell silent.
He thought carefully and said, "Your Majesty, this subject took it for granted."
Du Qi said, "It's not easy to break into Guazhou City right now, so the only way now is to use wits. Only by using wits can we have a chance to take Guazhou City. "
Lai Ji's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, this subject has a plan that is contrary to the plan."
Du Qi said seriously, "How do you plan to instigate a rebellion?"
Lai Ji said, "Instigate Fu Junheng."
Du Qi said, "As Su Dingfang's official secretary, Fu Junheng is a key figure in Guazhou. He's also Su Dingfang's confidant. Are you sure you can instigate Fu Junheng? You should know that Su Dingfang is very good at controlling his subordinates. It's not easy to instigate Fu Junheng. "
Lai Ji said, "Your Majesty, this subject has carefully investigated Fu Junheng's situation. Because of this detailed understanding, this subject believes that Fu Junheng has a certain probability of being instigated. "
Du Qi said, "Tell me the details."
Lai Ji said slowly, "Your Majesty, Fu Junheng is a local scholar in Guazhou. Before Su Dingfang arrived in Guazhou, Fu Junheng was actually not outstanding. He was just an ordinary scholar. Because of Su Dingfang's promotion, Fu Junheng was able to serve as the official secretary. "
"It can be said that Su Dingfang recognized Fu Junheng's talent. However, Fu Junheng used to have some scholarly nobility toward Su Dingfang and looked down on Su Dingfang. But now, this situation doesn't exist. "
Lai Ji continued, "Fu Junheng is very loyal to Su Dingfang, but Fu Junheng has another characteristic. He's extremely filial. He's a real filial son. Many people in Guazhou know about Fu Junheng's filial piety. "
Du Qi said, "Your plan is to break in from Fu Junheng being a filial son."
Lai Ji nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. As the saying goes, there is no righteous war between two countries. Since they are enemies, they will naturally do anything to win. After all, Sun Tzu's Art of War and other military strategies are conspiracies to a certain extent. "
"So this time, in order to instigate Fu Junheng and make him work for us, the only way is to start from Fu Junheng. Fu Junheng's mother died in childbirth after he was born. It was his father who raised him. "
"When he was young, his father did not remarry to take care of Fu Junheng. When Fu Junheng was a little older, because he needed to study and money, Fu Junheng's father worked hard to earn money to support Fu Junheng's studies, so he still did not remarry. "
"Now, although Fu Junheng has become outstanding. But Fu Junheng's father is already quite old and has no intention of remarrying. So, Fu Junheng's father has always been alone. "
Lai Ji said, "Right now, we want to instigate Fu Junheng. As long as we take Fu Junheng's father away and send a letter to Fu Junheng, we can naturally lure Fu Junheng out. Then, we can use Fu Junheng's father to make Fu Junheng work for us. Admittedly, Fu Junheng owes Su Dingfang a debt of gratitude for recognizing his worth and sowing discord, but I believe that Fu Junheng will be of use to us. "
Du Qi thought carefully after hearing this.
This plan was feasible to a certain extent, and he would not have any psychological burden because of why he kidnapped Fu Junheng's father. There was no other way, this was war. And if Du Qi failed, it meant that countless people in Xia Xia would be affected. Du Qi was the King of Xia Xia, so he could only manage the people of Xia Xia. As for the rest of the people, Du Qi did not have time to care about them.
