I'm a marquis in Datang

Ma Yuan said sternly: "Could it be that your Majesty only uses Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang as soldiers now, and doesn't need the last general and General Xiao anymore? If that's the case, let us both disarm and return to the fields."

Du Qi said with a smile: "Where is this, why is it here?"

He now understood why.

It must have come for the expedition.

Ma Yuan looked excited, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui led the army in the battle of Mogao Mountain in the past.

The fight in the territory was also between Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui. "

After a pause, Ma Yuan said again: "For a long time, the minister and General Xiao have been sitting in the rear. If it is once or twice, it is fine, but it has been like this all the time, but it is not appropriate! If Your Majesty does not need us, you can directly Said, we don't fight any more, and I don't care about the army anymore, just merge the soldiers under the minister's command directly into their command."

Xiao Yuanqi also echoed: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Both are consistent.

Because this time they went south to fight, the two of them never had the chance to lead the troops to fight, and they felt a little bit of resentment in their hearts.

After Du Qi finished listening, he smiled and said: "You guys, I misunderstood me.

Ben's plan was originally to arrange for the two of you to lead the battle, and there is a reason why Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were finally changed. "

Xiao Yuanqi was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, what is the reason?"

Ma Yuan also said: "Your Majesty, please show me."

At this moment, although the two of them had resentment, they heard that Du Qi had a reason, so they were willing to hear what Du Qi's reason was, and see what Du Qi said about it.

Du Qi looked at the expectant expressions of the two, his mind turned, and he had already made up his mind.

There are words to deal with.

To be honest, he arranged for Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang to go there, the reason is actually very simple

, just get used to it.Whether it is Xue Rengui or Su Dingfang, they are both outstanding in strength and good at leading troops, so he directly arranged for them.

Just doing this made Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan resentful again.

Du Qi said slowly: "The reason why you are allowed to stay is because when we decided to go south to attack all parts of the Japanese country, we got news from the arsenal. The gunpowder formula of the arsenal has already been obtained by the people of Datang."

"Datang has obtained the formula of gunpowder before. They are not weak, and they have many craftsmen. They will develop gunpowder in a short time. Especially at this time, we are attacking all parts of the south, and Datang will definitely not let it go. This opportunity will definitely attack the border of Yizhou in our Western Region."

Du Qi said: "So it is necessary for people to keep their hands ready to send troops to Yizhou at any time.

Go, start a war with Datang. "

Ma Yuan said: "But if we want to start a war with Datang, we don't have to keep the two of us!"

Du Qi smiled and said: "It's precisely because we want to fight Datang, that's why you two are needed. You all know about Su Dingfang's situation. It's definitely inappropriate for him to fight Datang. After all, Datang has his teacher Li Jing." , and many of his colleagues. As for Xue Rengui, he followed me early in the morning, and Xue Rengui himself came from the Tang Dynasty, so he was easily targeted. So the most suitable candidates are still the two of you. However, this The matter was not explained clearly, which made you misunderstand.”

After hearing this, Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi looked at each other and nodded.

It's just that the two of them felt that something was wrong.

Is this really the case?

But what Du Qi said was convincing, so although Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi came full of resentment, now, after Du Qi's words, the resentment has dissipated.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "The battle with the Tang Dynasty is of great importance. Therefore, you are needed. Xiao Yuanqi is good at defense, and Ma Yuan is good at attacking. You two are good at attacking and defending, so you are suitable for cooperation."

"Your Majesty, I understand."

What else can Ma Yuan say at this time, he can only respond.

Xiao Yuanqi also said: "I understand."

Du Qi comforted the two of them again, and asked them to go down to prepare.

On the Tang side, it is indeed possible to send troops.Because after Du Qi went south, the number of troops decreased, and Datang also had gunpowder, so it was possible to send troops.

Everything depends on Li Shimin's decision.

Chapter 1062 Li Shimin's pride

Li Shimin's pride

Chang'an, inside the imperial city.

Li Shimin is currently writing at his desk, reviewing the submitted memorials.When it comes to the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is a workaholic and wants to manage the Tang Dynasty well, so he is even more busy.

Part of the reason why Li Shimin is like this is that he wants to work hard, and a bigger part of the reason is that Li Shimin is unwilling to lose to Du Qi, and his Tang Dynasty must be able to develop better.

It's just that the more he compares himself with Du Qi, the more Li Shimin is hit.

Because Du Qi developed too fast.

The perfume industry, wine industry, and even many other industries under Du Qi's command made countless money, all of which were transported to Du Qi's hands in the Western Regions and entered into Du Qi's pocket.

Du Qi first established himself in Yizhou, and then swept across the entire Western Regions in a short period of time, destroying all countries in the Western Regions, and even Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, was also killed.Even the news came back recently that Du Qi had established himself in Tianzhu and killed Jieri King of Jieri Kingdom, causing Jieri Kingdom to disappear in smoke, and Du Qi's strength and territory were further strengthened.

In terms of the vastness of the territory, Du Qi was not comparable to the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin knew that Du Qi's strength was constantly rising.Under such a premise, it will be more and more difficult for Li Shimin to destroy Du Qi.

This is the most decadent place for Li Shimin.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin arranged people to lurk in Xia Guo, intending to seize the formula of gunpowder, but he never made a breakthrough.If Datang never had Du Qi's weapons, then Li Shimin would always be weaker than Du Qi. After all, even if Li Shimin could have a strong army, even if Datang had a lot of troops, Du Qi had gunpowder!

This weapon is too strong.

Li Shimin is in a good mood as long as Du Qi is not involved, but when Du Qi is involved, he is in a bad mood.

Because it involves Du Qi, I feel bad.

When Li Shimin was handling government affairs, it was Tang Zhen who entered and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is asking to see you."

Li Shimin said: "Tell me!"

Tang Zhen gave the order immediately, and the servant summoned him. After a while, Changsun Wuji hurried in, with a bright and sunny smile on his face, and even his gait was brisk and vigorous.This scene fell into Li Shimin's eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and he laughed immediately.

It must be a good thing!

Otherwise, Changsun Wuji would not be overjoyed.

It must be a big thing to let the dignified Qi Guogong, the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Wuji, but what good happened?"

Changsun Wuji was so excited that he even forgot to salute, and said directly: "Your Majesty, good news, great news. Our people in the Western Regions finally brought back
