Chapter Forty-Nine: Retreat and Assemble

Li Longji planned to use Pei Min to enter the court as the prime minister, and when he led the envoys of Longyou and Hexi Jiedu, he divided the military power in Pei Min's hands through the method of bloodless soldiers, so that he could not completely control the Hexi and Longyou armies.

This can alleviate the situation of Pei Min's excessive weight......

Before he died, he felt ashamed of Pei Min, and because of this.

But Li Longji and Gao Lishi found the wrong person...... Li Linfu.

Li Longji and Gao Lishi both thought that Li Linfu's identity as the Li family clan should defend the Li family dynasty and the Li Tang dynasty.

But in fact, Li Linfu is only superficial and kind, and he has no feelings for Li Tang, he only has his own interests in his eyes.

So far, his roots, his roots are all in Hexi and the Western Regions, and he originally had the idea of looking for an opportunity to enter Beijing and enter the court, breaking away from Pei Min's shackles, but now Pei Min has entered the court as Shang Shuling, and he has the power of the temple. Even if he entered Beijing, he still served under Pei Min, why should he give up the foundation he had been operating in the northwest all these years?

Not worth it at all!

And Li Linfu also had a strange thought.

What he is really good at is the struggle for political power, and the temple situation Pei Min faces does not need to use his talents, what the court needs is capable ministers like Zhang Jiuling and Song Jing.

But if there is turmoil in the temple, it will have its own use, just like when dealing with Wang Jie.

Therefore, Li Linfu understood a little clearly, only if there was some turmoil in the temple, so that he could have room to display his talents.

Pei Min's current situation is a step ahead of others, and once he succeeds, an old man like him who has followed him for many years may become a minister of the dragon. At the same time, if Pei Min succeeds in the Tang Dynasty, there will inevitably be some rebellious ministers loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he also needs a character like him.

As Li Linfu said, his interests are connected with Pei Min's, and he has no idea of harming Pei Min at all, and the starting point is completely towards Pei Min's own future. Because of this, even Pei Min failed to notice the abnormality at the first time.

Of course, Sun Zhou is towards Pei Min, the more loyal he is, the more he can't agree with Li Longji's practice of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

came to mind the words that Li Linfu had persuaded him at the beginning: "Pei Shuai's current power has almost reached the peak of the people, and Zhou Gongdan and Huo Guang are just like that. But what happened to Zhou Gongdan and Huo Guang? Zhou Gongdan, throughout the ages, can be called the first sage! As the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, he became the regent of the country, destroyed the three eunuchs, moved the capital to Luoyi, made ceremonies and made music, and waited for the world to be decided, and returned to the government to become the king. When the country was in danger, he did not shy away from hardships and stepped forward to take on the heavy responsibility of the king; When the country turned from crisis to peace and embarked on smooth development, he resolutely gave up the throne. It looks good, but the world ignores his frustration in his old age...... King Zhou Cheng was respectful to his uncle on the surface, but in fact he was like a thief. ”

"And Huo Guang, why don't you say much about Huo Guang's achievements? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deaf in his later years, and almost annihilated his nine clans, so that there was a disadvantage that the country had no heir, and he ruled the empire for 20 years, resting his troops and raising the people to accumulate national strength. The strongest period of the Han Dynasty was none other than the Xuan Dynasty. If there is no Huo Guang, how can he come to the rule of filial piety. As a result, the Huo family was wiped out, and thousands of families were connected. The emperor was worried that Pei Shuai would be difficult to govern in the future, and he already had the intention of weakening his power. What is the future? ”

Pei Shuai may not be unaware of this, but the emperor was so kind to him that he couldn't get along with himself. Pei Shuai is as kind to us as a mountain, is Brother Sun willing to see Pei Shuai one day? See Pei Shuai's entire clan exterminated? ”

Seeing that Sun Zhou was not pursuing in depth, Li Linfu also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The current situation should not focus on everything in the East, but how to help Pei Shuai win the strong enemy of Arabia." As long as Pei Shuai can win, when he returns to Chang'an, he will carry the momentum of thunder, and all Xiaoxiao will disappear under power. The contradictions between Tocharian and Arabia have emerged, but it is not enough, it is necessary to add a fire and pour a barrel of oil. ”

Tuozhi City!

Since the surrender of the city, Moslemassa has placed his battalion in the city.

He neither sent troops nor retreated, but waited in the city, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On this day, the Arabian viper general Landa came to the camp of the commander of Tuozhi City.

"Lion King, good news, the patriarch of Gelulu has officially given us a response, saying that he is willing to help us deal with the Tang army."

Landa looked excited, and asked for credit from Mosley Massa.

The Arab military center of gravity has undoubtedly shifted to the East, especially this time, when Mosley Massa has summoned all his old generals.

The East is important, and the West is just as important.

According to the information in Landalai's possession, the Arab caliphs intended to choose a wise and brave man among their five generals to be the governor to be in charge of the war in the West.

In order to express himself, Landalai has been courting the Khan of Qarluq these days, hoping that it will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which will become the key to determining the victory or defeat.

But Qarluch's attitude was ambiguous, and he neither refused nor agreed.

It was only to this day that Qarlu gave a clear message that he was willing to help them.

Since Mosley Massa saw Pei Min's formation, he didn't have any hope of winning over Gelulu, and when he heard that Landa had come to succeed, he was surprised and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

Landalai said with a look of surprise: "This is also the most critical, the Khan of Qarluq revealed a key news, saying that the Tang army is going to retreat, and it is very likely to give up half of the Western Regions and stick to the four towns of Broken Leaf City and Anxi." The last general estimated that the Tang army's behavior of betraying allies had chilled the Khan of Qarluq, and at the same time, he was afraid of our strength, fearing that we would settle accounts with him after our victory, and compromise with us. ”

"The Tang army wants to withdraw?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Mosley Massa's eyes, and this was the moment he had been waiting for. He had already gotten the news that the northeast of the Tang Dynasty had reversed. It's just that the distance is too far, and there is no communication channel like the Tang Dynasty, and the details are not clear enough.

Pei Min's withdrawal is linked to the current news.

Landalai said strangely: "The last general doesn't know what the reason is, but according to the information revealed by Ashinashi, the Tang army does show signs of withdrawal." The Tang Army's retreat was a great loss of spirit, and we had every chance to eat him in one bite. ”

Mosley Massa slammed the hammer and said, "Quick, keep an eye on the Tang Army's every move, and let the soldiers in the army prepare for battle." You ......" he looked at Landa and said, "Send some treasures to Qarlu again, win them over, and let them provide them with all the movements of the Tang army." ”

Three days later, Mosley Massa received news that the Don army had withdrawn at night.

The lion king of the Western Regions had a throbbing heart, and he gave the order for the three armies to assemble......
