I'm a marquis in Datang

Waldo said: "Thank you, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, don't worry, I, the Persian Empire, will not let you down."

Li Shimin said: "That's good."

Fang Xuanling saluted Li Shimin again, then took Waldo back, and gave Waldo the formula of gunpowder and the method of making raw materials, and Waldo went back to his place of residence in Nancheng.

The house where Waldo lives is in Da'an Square in the South City.When he returned to the house, he called the accompanying warriors over, and said with an excited expression, "Kate, we have got the gunpowder. I told the Emperor Datang that I came here on behalf of the Persian Empire and as a diplomatic envoy of the Persian Empire." Minister, on behalf of Persia and Datang to form an alliance, and Datang gave us the gunpowder. Next, Persia and Datang attacked Xia together. Therefore, Datang has given me the formula and raw materials for making gunpowder."

Kate's age is about 30 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, a square face, a hooked nose, and slightly sunken eyes. He gives the impression that he is strong and powerful.

He is the warrior who protects Valdor.

Kate smiled and said: "Mr. Waldo, you are really smart. In this way, Prince Cusd will be able to increase his strength. If we want to reverse the situation, it will be smooth."

Waldo said: "It's also thanks to the war between Xia Guo and Datang that we have a chance."

In fact, today's Persian Empire has been divided.

The monarchs of the following fiefs are already doing their own thing.

When Li Yuan was in power, the ruler of Persia was Kuslao II. Under his hands, the Persian Empire reached its peak again and was quite prosperous.But with the killing of Khuslao II, the Persian Empire fell into civil strife.At this time, the Arab Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire also ushered in the Heraclius dynasty of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Only the strength of the Persian Empire was weakening day by day.

When Khuslao II was killed, it was his son Kawad II who rebelled, but the youngest son of Khuslao II, Kasd, occupied a fief in the easternmost part of the Persian Empire.

Custer's age is about 20 years old.

Very aggressive.

Moreover, Kasted has always been committed to restoring the glory of the Persian Empire, so that the Persian Empire can regain its former glory.Originally, Kasde wanted to annex Jie Japan, but Du Qi's appearance broke all this.

With the strength of Kasde, he couldn't even annex Jie Japan, let alone deal with Du Qi, so he never took any action.It's just that after the war between Du Qi and Datang, Kasde sent his counselor Waldo to Chang'an of Datang to play by ear.

Waldo saw the power of gunpowder and knew that Datang also had such a weapon.Therefore, he made a decisive request at this time, hoping to form an alliance with Datang, in exchange for

Take Datang's gunpowder.

On the one hand, Xia Guo needs to contain it.

On the other hand, Kasde also needed gunpowder if he wanted to reverse the decadent situation of the Persian Empire, bring order back to order, and even overthrow Kawad’s rule.With gunpowder to equip the army, Kasde's strength can be greatly improved.

This is Waldo's plan.

With a happy expression on Waldo's face, he ordered again: "Kate, make arrangements, we are going to return. The Western Regions are now at war, and we have to hurry back. But after Du Qi wins Datang and defeats Datang I'm afraid it will also attack Prince Cusd. We must hurry up and not delay any longer."

Kate said seriously: "Please rest assured, Mr. Waldo, everything is ready. You can take action at any time."

Waldo said: "Go and make arrangements, we will set off next."

"Yes!"

After Kate agreed, she turned around to make arrangements.

In a short time, Waldo took Kate and his party, more than [-] people set off.This was pretending to be a caravan. The team quickly left Chang'an City and headed west.

Chapter 1127

Soldiers approaching Suzhou

Outside Shazhou City, where Du Qi's camp is located.

Chinese army tent.

Du Qi is dealing with the latest government affairs, and a few of these government affairs are related to Guazhou and Shazhou, and most of them are related to the government affairs in Xia Kingdom.After all, the six departments have already dealt with some of the internal affairs of the Xia Kingdom, and what is being submitted now is all extremely important matters.

Today's Guazhou has been fully adjusted, and even Shazhou has been fully included under Du Qi's command.After all, Li Ji's foothold in Shazhou was not stable, and he could not continue to linger for forty years, so he had already evacuated.

Shazhou, without Li Ji in charge, is vulnerable.

All places attached.

The most important thing is that the people of Guazhou and Shazhou are all supportive of Du Qi because of the various policies that benefit the people promulgated by Du Qi and many measures that are beneficial to the people.

Furthermore, the people of these two places once received a lot of favors because of Du Qi's governance of Suzhou. They knew Du Qi, so they did not object to Du Qi.

Due to the superposition of many reasons, the common people allege, and everyone recognizes Xia Guo.

They all regard themselves as the people of the Xia Kingdom.

When Du Qi was busy, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, but it was Li Jing who entered, he stood still and said: "Your Majesty!"

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

After taking his seat, Li Jing said, "Your Majesty, for the General Staff Department, I have selected three generals from the army, mainly those who are good at planning, and they have been transferred to the General Staff Department."

Du Qi said: "Yes!"

The staff department has been established, so it is natural to use it.Previously, in fact, the cabinet replaced part of the functions of the staff department and was responsible for the staff planning of many wars.Now this function belongs to the staff department again, and the establishment and adjustment of the army will also belong to the staff department.

The only thing that the general staff does not involve is the appointment of personnel for each army, which is the responsibility of the court officials.

Li Jing continued: "I invite the leaders of the Shangguan Pavilion to discuss the matter and discuss the timing of sending troops. The ministers believe that Shazhou and Guazhou are now included in the territory of the Xia Kingdom and belong to the Xia Kingdom. On this basis, you can send troops Attack Suzhou. If you take Suzhou, then the territory of Xia Kingdom will go one step further and take the entire Western Region."

Du Qi said: "Since the time is right, let's send an order to prepare to send troops."

"Yes!"

Li Jing went to make arrangements immediately.

Half an hour later, Du Qi's camp had already left the camp.

In fact, Shazhou and Guazhou already had appointed officials to handle government affairs at this time, so even if Du Qi left, it would not affect the overall situation.The army rushed forward in a mighty way, heading straight to Suzhou.

This news also quickly spread to Suzhou.

Spread to Jiuquan County.

Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others, who are now leading troops to station in Jiuquan, are stationed in the city.At this time, the number of troops under Li Ji's command also increased. Because of the re-enlistment, the number of troops under his command increased to more than [-].After all, nowadays, it is not an easy task to increase the strength of troops.

Too much to lose.

There were several wars before and after, and too many troops were lost.

Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Li Ji got the news that Du Qi had sent troops to kill him, he immediately invited Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and brought them into the camp. Du Qi sent troops again after about a month. For us, this is a great danger. Right now, how should we defend against the enemy?"

Although Li Ji had sent the battle report back, the court could only help him in a limited way.All of this depends on himself, so Li Ji has to make full preparations and must guard Suzhou Jiuquan.
