I'm a marquis in Datang

The two armies consisted of 6000 people, and the journey went smoothly.

After leaving the territory of Suzhou and entering the west, the bandits were swept away all the way, just like sweeping holes in a plow court. The bandits along the way were taken down one after another, and there was no one who could resist them.

The huge Shazhou was easily captured, and the same was true for Guazhou, which was pacified in a short period of time.

The bandits in these places are not to be feared.

Du Qi's ultimate goal is Yizhou, west of Guazhou.

Yizhou is the seat of later Hami.

There are Yiwu County, Rouyuan County, and Nazhi County in Yizhou, but Yizhou at this time cannot be called Yizhou, but Yiwu City, because Yizhou was established in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

In today's Yizhou, there is no one attached to Datang for the time being. The person who occupies the territory of Yizhou is the local clan of Yiwu City. This person is named Luo Yansheng, who is the lord of Yiwu City. land.

Luo Yansheng is quite capable, and he loves the people like a son, and treats the people very well.Under Luo Yansheng's governance, the entire three-county area of ​​Yiwu City is quite strong, and there are few bandits in the territory.

Moreover, as an important gateway to the Western Regions, Yiwu City is quite rich.Furthermore, there are lakes and water sources in Yiwu City, which are rich in water resources and have a better environment than Suzhou and other places.

In addition to the vicinity of Yiwu City, it is a plain area formed by impact, and the geographical location is extremely good.

When Du Qi arrived in Guazhou, on the one hand, he helped Su Dingfang gain a foothold, and on the other hand, he sent troops to inquire about Yiwu City.However, arrangements had already been made before, so the scouts on the first floor of the world sent back news continuously.

The army led by Du Qi had already separated from Su Dingfang at this time, and began to approach the border of Yiwu City.In the area within Yiwu City, Rouyuan County is at the east end, Yiwu City is in the middle, and Nazhi County is at the west end.

After the team led by Du Qi arrived at the border, they temporarily settled down.Team

The location where Wu is stationed is near a water source, which is very suitable for stationing.

In the barracks, the large tent of the Chinese army.

Du Qiduan sat at the main seat, and below sat Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng and Yu Deshui.

Du Qi looked around at the three of them and said, "You already know Luo Yansheng, the lord of Yiwu City, and many other news, so I won't repeat them. Now, let's talk about how to break the situation. Yiwu City is where we will gain a foothold next." The location is also the beginning of our future. This area is extremely important and must be taken."

Guo Xiaozheng said: "Your Highness, according to the suggestion of the humble official, you can adopt a strategy of lightning raids. Luo Yansheng's military strength, according to the information he has inquired, is actually only five to six thousand people. The main force is gathered in Yiwu County. Yes, Rouyuan County to the east is not particularly strong. Our 6000 elite raiders are enough to win a single battle and head straight to Yiwu County."

Du Qi nodded.

But did not express his opinion immediately.

He looked at Liu Zhengxi and Yu Deshui, and heard Yu Deshui say: "Your Highness, there is a policy for a lowly position."

Du Qidao: "But it doesn't matter."

Yu Deshui said: "Your Highness, I think assassination can be adopted. As long as Luo Yansheng is killed, it will be decided in one battle. When the time comes, the whole Yiwu City will be completely chaotic. It will be a breeze if we lead our troops to kill him."

Du Qi smiled and said: "Assassination is the next strategy. Of course, it can be taken when necessary."

Although the assassination strategy is effective, it is easy to cause turmoil. After all, Luo Yansheng has a high prestige in Yiwu City, so the assassination is inappropriate.Such a strategy cannot be adopted until the end.

Yu Deshui didn't feel disappointed when he heard Du Qi's words. The strategy he could think of was such a plan.

Liu Zhengxi said: "His Royal Highness, there is a policy for a lowly position."

Du Qidao: "Say!"

Liu Zhengxi said solemnly: "I am willing to go to Yiwu City as an envoy, to meet Luo Yansheng in person, and persuade Luo Yansheng to surrender. As long as Luo Yansheng surrenders and His Highness enters Yiwu City, it will be a breeze. Not only will there be no killings, but there will also be no resistance. And His Highness's strength will not be compromised."

Du Qi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

This is a strategy of subduing the enemy without fighting. If the plan can be completed in this way, it is naturally the best.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, the plan is good, it can be said to be the best choice. But this plan has great risks, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be buried in Yiwu City, have you considered it clearly?"

Liu Zhengxi said: "The humble job has been considered clearly."

This time, Liu Zhengxi thinks it is imperative to go on a mission, and he is determined to win

.With Du Qi's current strength, Liu Zhengxi didn't think he would fail, and he was very sure of winning.

What's more, Liu Zhengxi also asked people to inquire about Luo Yansheng's situation carefully.

Luo Yansheng was in his early fifties, an elderly man.Such people are less intrusive and aggressive, and have more worries.Furthermore, Luo Yansheng was not a violent and strong person, so Liu Zhengxi was not very worried about his safety.

After all, the two armies do not fight each other.

Du Qi nodded and said: "Since you have the courage, this king has granted your request. What do you want when you go to Yiwu City?"

Liu Zhengxi said: "There is only one requirement for a lowly position. General Xue is invited to accompany him, and there are more than ten soldiers to accompany him. This is enough. To go to Yiwu City, you may need to show off the strength of the general. Xue Rengui is not very old, so it is suitable candidate."

Du Qi nodded and said: "Your request, my king approves."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Zhengxi's heart was faintly excited.

Because this is his opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Chapter 665

Self-disruption

Yiwu City, located in the center of Yizhou, is an area where the later Hami City is located.

In fact, Yiwu City is a newly built city.In the fourth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty at that time sent Pei Ju and Xue Shixiong to lead the army to fight, and finally stationed in Yiwu City at that time.

At that time, Yiwu City was an ancient city, rather dilapidated, and the city was not big.After Pei Ju arrived, he mobilized local forces and built another new city in the area east of the original Yiwu City, which became the New Yiwu City.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui’s control over the border counties decreased, and Yiwu City could no longer be controlled remotely, so this area was also controlled by the Western Turks. Yiwu City also merged from the former new city and the old city to become a large city. .

Today's Yiwu City was formed.

In Yiwu City, Luo Yansheng is the lord of the city.

The Luo family is the largest family.

However, Luo Yansheng, the city lord, is only a co-lord, not like the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and cannot achieve centralized power.Under Luo Yansheng's command, there are many officials who are the heads of many big families in Yiwu City.

Together with the Luo family, these families formed the strength of Yiwu City.However, Luo Yansheng is old, has experienced many things, has rich experience, and handles things very well.

In addition to the trust of the major families, everyone gets along quite harmoniously.

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion.

in the hall.

The decoration of the hall is quite different from that of the Central Plains. It is a typical Western Region style, and the hall is extremely spacious.
