I'm a marquis in Datang

He looked at Du Qi with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Changsun Shunde said: "The dishes in the No. [-] restaurant in Chang'an City are all from Mr. Du's sect. The cooks in the restaurant are all trained by Mr. Du's subordinates."

"really?"

There was an inconceivable look in Li Dayen's eyes.He turned to look at Du Qi, and said, "Young Master Du, is what General Changsun said true?"

Du Qi smiled slightly and said, "It's true!"

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Since King Dingxiang likes it, let my servants cook the dishes at noon. It's just that the raw materials for the dishes have to be selected from King Dingxiang's palace. And there are You can make whatever ingredients you want. Many high-quality dishes cannot be made temporarily due to lack of time.”

Li Daen said: "No problem!"

He was looking forward to it.

Liu Jian behind Du Qichao nodded, and Liu Jian, led by the servants of the palace, went to find ingredients for lunch.

Li Dayen said some extravagant remarks, and finally changed the subject, saying: "General Changsun and Mr. Du's mission to Turkic is probably not going well. Because the people of Eastern Turkic are mixing with Yuan Junzhang and targeting Datang everywhere. "

Speaking of this, Li Dayen sighed: "I am afraid that your mission will not go well, and you may even be in danger of being killed. This trip, the task is difficult!"

Changsun Shunde nodded and said, "The king of Dingxiang County is right, and we have taken this into consideration."

When speaking, he looked at Du Qi.

That look seemed to say, Erlang, it's up to you, you have to convince Li Dayen.

Du Qi said: "Prince Dingxiang, this time our mission to the Eastern Turks is indeed quite dangerous. But even though it is dangerous, we must go, because only by successfully dispatching the Eastern Turks can we stabilize the border of the Tang Dynasty. Only when Datang resolves the internal conflicts can it free itself to resolve the Turkic threat."

Li Dayen said: "What Mr. Du said is true."

Du Qi said again: "This mission can be successfully completed without the help of Dingxiang County King. If we rely solely on us, it will be impossible for us to successfully complete the mission."

Li Dayen respects Du Qi very much.

Because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he didn't treat Du Qi as a child, so Li Dayen said seriously: "Young Master Du has any needs, just ask. As long as I, Li Dayen, can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Du Qizhan smiled and said: "With the words of Dingxiang County King, things will be easy."

Li Dayen said: "Young Master Du, just tell me what you plan to do. In short, I will fully cooperate. Under the current situation, if the frontier can be stabilized, it will be extremely beneficial to Datang and myself."

A cold light flashed in Du Qi's eyes, and he said: "My plan for the next incident is actually very simple. It is to spread false news and release the news that a batch of military rations will soon be delivered to Yanmen."

"Use this news to attract the Turks, and we will fight the Turks in Yanmen."

"We are on the northern grasslands, and it is difficult to fight the Turks. After all, the current cavalry is not strong enough, and the troops are not enough. However, once the Turks enter the Yanmen area, especially when we are in the dark, and the Turks are in the Ming, we must plot against the Turks. , it's much easier."

"My plan is to fight an ambush."

Du Qi said: "After we have severely injured the Turkic people in Yanmen, it will not be too late to go on a mission. At that time, the Turkic people will lose their arrogance, and it will be much easier to complete the mission."

After Li Daen heard it, he praised: "Mr. Du's plan is naturally excellent. It's just that this is just the general direction.

Just about to fall down, there are too many details to deal with. "

Du Qi said seriously: "The king of Dingxiang County is right. There are indeed many details to be finalized. However, General Changsun and I have pondered a lot about this issue along the way."

Immediately, Du Qi made the detailed arrangements.

One by one, everything was explained. Li Daen is a veteran on the battlefield after all. After hearing the news, he also showed a bright smile on his face.

Du Qi's plan is indeed good.

When Li Dayen finished listening to the news, the expression on his rough face was completely relaxed, and his face was full of approval

With a serious look on his face, he said: "Not bad, not bad! Mr. Du's plan is really ingenious. I believe that I will definitely win this battle."

Speaking of this, a trace of gloom suddenly flashed across Li Dayen's face.

It seems to be a little worried.

Du Qi looked at his words and asked, "Does Prince Dingxiang have any concerns?"

Li Daen said: "Young Master Du's suggestion is not bad, and this king also agrees. It's just that you want to send troops suddenly, even start a war with the Turkic people. If you don't report this battle to His Majesty, you may be severely criticized by the court. Young Master Du also Clearly, I am a surrendered general, not someone who followed Datang from the very beginning. My identity, although I am the king of Dingxiang County, is a bit sensitive after all."

Du Qidao: "Dingxiang County King don't have to worry about this matter, with me here, everything will be fine."

Li Daen asked: "Really?"

Du Qidao: "Naturally it is true!"

The expression on Li Dayen's face was somewhat disbelieving.Although Du Qi was extremely intelligent, he was involved in mobilizing troops.The eldest Sun Shunde did not express his opinion, but Du Qi took the lead in saying that this was actually something wrong.

Seeing Li Dayen's expression, Du Qi understood Li Dayen's worry, but he had discussed these matters with Changsun Shunde earlier, so he directly took out Li Yuan's token.

Du Qi said solemnly: "Dingxiang County King, this is the token of Ruzhen's presence granted by His Majesty, authorizing me to go to Turkic as an envoy."

, do it cheaply.Not only that, I hold this token, and I will be one level higher than the official. "

"Under this premise, I can mobilize the local army, and even command the war. Therefore, Dingxiang County King's worries are completely unnecessary, and there is no need to worry about being harshly criticized."

"I will report this battle to His Majesty."

Du Qi said: "Furthermore, after the victory in this battle, the Dingxiang County King will have made great contributions. With this merit, the Dingxiang County King's position in the court will be even more solid."

Li Dayen was shocked in his heart.

At this moment, Li Daen glanced at the elder Sun Shunde, and finally at Du Qi. He seemed to feel that in this mission,

Although Du Qi is the deputy envoy, in fact Du Qi has a higher status and has the right to be the envoy.

Li Dayen said: "In this way, it will be safe."

When talking about this, Li Da'en suddenly said: "Young Master Du, in this plan, we can make some changes, or add some. Because I suddenly thought of one thing, maybe it can be used."

Du Qidao: "Dingxiang County King, please tell me!"

Li Dayen said: "One of the concubines in my backyard belongs to Yuan Junzhang. Although I knew about it, I never exposed it and kept her in the backyard. In fact, I can use her to spread the news about this matter. At that time, Yuan Junzhang will not doubt it. After Yuan Junzhang learns the news, he will definitely notify the Turkic Jieli Khan."

After Du Qi heard it, he laughed and said: "The king of Dingxiang's move is really subtle. Through this plan, Yuan Junzhang and Dong Tujue will believe it even more. Not bad, not bad! Unexpectedly, the king of Dingxiang There is such a clever move."

Li Daen said: "Speaking of it, I also discovered it by accident. Before that, I didn't deal with it. But I didn't expect that it will come in handy now. The previous unintentional move, but now it will come in handy."

Du Qi said solemnly: "So, the king of Dingxiang County must be careful, and beware of self-defeating."

Li Dayen said: "This king knows."

As the chat continued, the details were negotiated again.Everyone's faces showed joyful expressions, because everything was negotiated, and the next thing to do was to arrange the execution.
