Chapter 481: Unfold
Quan Gai Suwen came to the Korean Peninsula and began to talk to his former subordinates and rebelled in person.
Prior to this, Quangae Suwen and Baitori Tomokako reached an agreement to go to the former Goguryeo region with Li You to rebel.
Izumi Gai Suwen doesn't trust Tomokako Hakutori, and the reason why he agrees to their conditions is because he has his own judgment of the situation.
The war between the imperial court and Tibet was deadlocked, coupled with the unstable situation in Persia, the imperial court could easily fall into a quagmire on it and follow the old path of Emperor Yang of Sui.
In this case, it is also possible that the domestic political situation will be turbulent and the imperial court will be divided. If this happens, the restoration of Goguryeo is also possible.
Quangai Suwen has a lot of political experience, he is not an easy person to take risks, but when he encounters opportunities, he will firmly grasp them.
After repeated and serious thinking, he came up with a way to advance and retreat freely.
First of all, he agreed to the request of Baitori Zhikako and others to plot against the upper echelons of the original Goguryeo, and at the same time he reported the matter to Li Su.
After Quan Gai Suwen set off this time, he sent his butler, Kim Zhehan, to report his whereabouts to Li Su.
He reported to Li Yu that Li You wanted him to plot against Goguryeo and rebel, but he concealed the true identity of Baitori Zhikazi and others.
His intention was to make a fake show, and he could generously plot against his original Goguryeo subordinates without worrying about what would happen to him if the matter was leaked.
Because he promised Li Su that he did so in order to provide the imperial court with information about the rebels. How is this reported to the imperial court? To what extent? He can be flexible.
He was active in Goguryeo and mastered part of his strength, so he could wait and see what happened, and if Baekcho Chihyangko had the upper hand and the court was really divided, he would take advantage of the situation to erect a rebellion and restore Goguryeo's country.
If the imperial court has the upper hand, he can take advantage of the situation to betray Li You and Shiratori Tomokako and others, and he will also improve his status in the imperial court because of his meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion.
As for Li You, he was a second goods, he was carried away by the fool of Bai Tori Zhikako and others who promised to support him as the emperor, and consciously and voluntarily got on the thief ship.
Quangae Suwen was in power in Goguryeo for many years and had a huge influence, and after he returned to Goguryeo, many old Goguryeo tribes soon expressed their refuge in him.
At this time, the gate valve families in Luoyang, Taiyuan, Xiangyang, Fuzhou and Lucheng were also ready to riot.
Everyone is waiting.
They were waiting for the news of the march of the imperial army.
North of Chang'an City, Baqiao.
Li Su personally led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to send the army out.
The troops dispatched in Chang'an include the 36th Cavalry Division and the 37th Cavalry Division of the Chang'an Garrison, the Chang'an Armed Police Corps, and the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th Brigades of the Flying Tiger Army, with a total strength of 55,000 troops.
After these troops set out, the garrison of Chang'an City only left two brigades of the Flying Tiger Army, a detachment of the Chang'an Armed Police, and the organs of the Chang'an Military Region, the Left-behind Office, the Military Academy and other troops, with a total strength of 21,000 people.
In fact, there are only these troops left in the entire Kannai Province.
Harold, who was mixed in the crowd of people to see him off, saw the army set off, and he deeply sweated for the Arab Empire, fearing that the Arabs would suffer losses on the Persian battlefield.
Among the people who saw them off, the people of the eldest grandson Shunde, the people of Baitori Zhixiangzi and the people of Quangai Suwen respectively told their masters the news.
The troops departing from Chang'an were under the unified leadership of Duhe. Their intended route of march was Chang'an, Guyuan, Wuwei, Anxi Protectorate, and the Persian Empire.
At the same time, the troops of the major military regions across the country have also embarked on a journey to the front.
The troops of the Korean Military District, under the leadership of Niu Jinda, drove to the Yalu River, and the advance had already entered the Liaodong Peninsula.
The troops of the Luoyang Military Region also embarked on the journey.
Shiratori Tomokako saw with her own eyes that the troops of the Luoyang Military Region had set off, and a few days later, she received news from the direction of Chang'an, and the garrison of Chang'an had also set off for Persia.
Bai Bird Zhixiangzi was excited, she discussed it with her eldest grandson Shunde, and then came to Li Ke.
"Li Lang, have you figured it out?" Shiratori Tomokako said.
Li Ke said: "This matter is too risky, are you sure?" Li Ke has already thought of countermeasures in the past few days.
Bai Bird Zhixiangzi said: "The imperial court suffered a defeat in Tubo, Hou Junji has been beaten back to the area east of the Nu River, and Su Dingfang's troops have also retreated to the area north of Kunlun Mountain.
The Arabs were in Persia and the army was overwhelming.
The imperial court had no choice but to transfer the troops of the whole country, and had already driven to Tibet and Persia, and the country was very empty everywhere, even if the capital city was Chang'an, there were only 20,000 horses left, and the time was ripe for the army.
Our people, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the whole country, and no less than 100,000 people can be mobilized in the Luoyang area alone, what can you worry about?
When you put the banner on the tree, you will say that your father Li Shimin was killed by Li Su, and Li Su is a usurper, in this case, are you afraid that the world will not respond to you? ”
Li Ke didn't know much about the situation outside, and when he heard her words, he was really a little worried, and felt that Li Ke was so happy that he actually drove all the troops of the whole country to the border, which was really a bit dangerous.
At this moment, Li Ke was a little moved, and felt that he might ascend to the throne.
However, he thought about Li Su's unpredictable intelligence, in the past, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, including himself, in the imperial court, all of them were defeated by his men.
Relying on Bai Bird Zhixiangzi, Changsun Shunde and others, it is simply wishful thinking to overthrow the united Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke made up his mind in his heart to deal with Bai Bird Zhixiangzi and others, looking for an opportunity to get out.
"There's some truth to what you're saying," he said, "but it's better to be careful. ”
Bai Bird Zhixiangzi felt that Li Ke was a little tempted, and said: "Li Lang, I hope you can seize this opportunity, we all recommend you to be the emperor, if you can become the emperor, I will serve by your side wholeheartedly, you agree." ”
Li Ke was still a little hesitant.
Shiratori Tomokako said: "It's better for you to take the initiative to agree to this matter."
Think about it, whether you agree or not, the eldest grandson Shunde will issue a crusade against Li Su in your name. Therefore, whether you agree or not, the court will regard you as a rebel, and you will not be able to clear this charge no matter what.
Besides, if you don't agree, the eldest grandson Shunde and others think that you are worthless, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape their persecution.
Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative and take the lead in this matter, and there is still a certain chance of winning. ”
Li Ke said: "What you said makes sense, let me think about it for two more days." ”
