The news kept coming, and it became more and more clear that Wei Xi was indeed fighting the Khitan, and the number of Khitans killed was rising steadily, and he was embarrassed to come to Lubu to report the victory!

The Khitan originated in the northeast region of "China", adopted a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral life, and was divided into eight Khitan roads in the early Tang Dynasty, and formed a unified Dahe alliance in the early Tang Dynasty, which was divided into eight divisions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After info Taizong, he placed the Governor's Mansion in Songmo and gave the leader the surname Li.

It is under the jurisdiction of Chifeng, Tongliao area, and the Huangshui City (Linxi County) is about a thousand miles away from the East Surrender City (Hohhot) in the right corner of the Yellow River.

Similarly, the Hangai Mountains, where the Turks lived, were thousands of miles away from the Yellow River.

Wei Xi, this guy, didn't fight the Turks as required, but ran to fight the Khitan!

Due to the surprise, the situation of the Khitan people was very bad, and in ten days, the Tang army reported that 100,000 Khitan men were killed, 150,000 were taken prisoner, and 300,000 livestock!

The Khitan was represented in the Tang court, and the Tang Dynasty placed the Governor of Songmo, with the Khitan tribal leader Brother Guge as the envoy, the military governor of the ten states, and the governor of Songmo, who was in charge of the affairs of various ministries, and gave the surname Li.

In the fifth year of Xianqing (660), Brother Li died and succeeded as the governor of Songmo, Abgu and Xi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and soon the army was defeated, and Abgu was captured and sent to Luoyang. Emperor Gaozong took Li Kucaoli, the grandson of Li Cave, as the general of the left guard, impeached the history of Khan Prefecture, and was crowned the king of Shun County; Another grandson, Li Quanzhong, was the general of Wuwei, the governor of Songmo, and succeeded to the eight Khitan departments.

Li Kucao, who had been raised by the Tang Dynasty to be as fat as a pig, knelt in front of the palace gate in plain clothes, threatening that if the imperial court did not arrest Wei Xi, the general of Zhengyi, and put him in prison, he would not get up for a day!

Every once in a while, he shouted loudly: "My Ah Weng (grandfather) has always been obedient to the court, my brother and I are also loyal to the court, if the court wants to conquer the Khitan, why do you need to do it, a paper edict summons me and my brother, and we brothers have nothing to say, why kill our innocent people!" ”

It attracts sideways glances and pointing fingers from officials who come and go, and the impact is not good. Although the number of people in the palace persuaded him to go back and there was something to discuss, he was unmoved.

On the Hall of Eternal Life, Wu Zetian sat on the throne with a stern face, while the emperor accompanied him.

The ministers standing are Pei Yan, Pei Yan, Liu Jingxian, Guo Beiju, Cen Changqian, Wei Xuantong, and then there are two martial arts: Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei.

Relatives of the samurai family are starting to raise their heads!

Wu Sansi has always taken the road of a military general, although he has not fought any battles, but his identity and qualifications are there, and now he is the general of the right guard and the squire of the military department, and he holds the power of the military department.

Although Wu Chengsi said that he was suspected of fornicating with the Turks a while ago, he was not exposed, Wu Zetian turned him into Taichang Qing after a period of cold disposition, and he was a high-ranking official of the third grade, and he was the chief of Taichang Temple. Honorable status, but not a substantive officer.

What kind of goods Erwu is, Wu Zetian knows it clearly, but she has no better candidate, so she can only pinch her nose and admit it.

It was the first time they participated in such a summit meeting, and they were smart enough to just listen to it, although they really wanted to put Wei Xi to death, but they were not in a hurry to make a move, and they had ministers who took safeguarding the interests of the country as their duty to attack Wei Xi.

In addition to them, there is also a woman in the palace: Shangguan Wan'er, she is in charge of secretarial affairs, but none of the ministers dares to underestimate her.

"Wan'er, tell the ministers about Wei Xi's recital." Wu Zetian commanded with a sinking face.

"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er responded.

Her skin is better than snow, her appearance is cold, her voice is cold, and she sounds like a unique charm, which makes the two hearts itch, and they are secretly peeking at her who is standing on Wu Zetian's side.

Special M, Wei Xi, this kid, married the world's first noble girl, Princess Taiping, doesn't count, but also took such beauties into the room, why didn't Princess Taiping cut his little JJ! It's really in vain to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty! fell the reputation of the Tang princess.

Looking at the other ministers, none of them noticed Shangguan Wan'er, these ministers are all mature people who care about national affairs.

Shangguan Wan'er read all three copies of Wei Xi's report, which was divided into two parts, one was that the Tang army marched on foot and cavalry, and the attack on the Khitans was progressing smoothly, occupying most of the Songmo Governor's Mansion. In half a month, 150,000 Khitan men were killed, 200,000 were taken prisoner, and 450,000 cattle, sheep, horses, and livestock were killed!

The Tang army suffered less than 10,000 casualties, about 3,000 dead and 7,000 wounded, which can be described as an unprecedented victory.

It's a very boring number, the emperor and Erwu have heard it, and Wu Zetian and the other ministers feel a strong bloody atmosphere!

It was the essence of the Tang army that was dispatched, and under the heavy blow, the Khitans suffered a catastrophe.

As for this attack, Wei Xi first pleaded guilty, stating that he did not have the permission of the imperial court and made an initiative to attack the Khitan!

The reason given for the attack was: the Khitan people are strong, they will become a border trouble, and the place they occupy is fertile, so they should be captured as a new expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a famous saying in the recital: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly"!

This sentence first appeared in the world, full of domineering, it is definitely a strong language, like Huang Zhong Da Lu echoed in the ears of everyone except the emperor and the two martial arts, the three people did not reach the realm, and Wu Zetian and others were related to me.

It reveals the truest connotation of the imperial state system, that is, the absolute and arbitrary imperial power is absolute and arbitrary, and will never allow any power that threatens itself.

There is another reason that can't be said, so many people in my Tang Army didn't kill a single person, so I didn't do a loss-making business, and I didn't kill people, set fire and rob worthy of the court, myself and the generals?

Since there was no benefit from the Turks, the Khitan lay down the gun.

"Okay, the Zhongqing family has also heard Wei Xi's words, let's talk about it!" Wu Zetian said.

No one spoke up, and everyone fell silent.

Seeing Wu Zetian's gaze looking at him, Cen Changqian turned his heart sideways, stood up and said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the Emperor, let's start with a brick throw!" ”

"What General Wei did reminded the Qin army in the Battle of Zuo Chuan." He actually memorized this text and said: "...... Meng Ming said: 'Zheng is prepared, but he can't be hopeful. If you can't conquer it, you can't continue to encircle it, and I will return it, 'Destroy it and return.' ”

"How similar! Or I am the Qin Shi, Zheng is the Turk, and the slippery country is the Khitan. Cen Changqian's voice turned sharply and said: "It is unrighteous to take the Khitan without telling it!" "Attacking others without guilt, the war of exterminating the race is unkind!" "It is disloyal to make an assertion without asking for advice!"

"They are unkind, unrighteous and disloyal, and they should be arrested and imprisoned and tried to set an example!"

"He has played a very bad role, that is, what will happen to the roadside in the future? At that time, the border of the Tang Dynasty will be full of smoke, what position will the imperial court have to deal with them?

And my Datang has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness to foreign races, handled things fairly, and has a good reputation among foreign races, but Wei Xi has destroyed our unfortunate reputation, so that foreign people will not dare to believe us in the future, how will they deal with foreign tribes in the future! ”

……

After he finished speaking, Wu Zetian simply named Guo Zhiju to see how he defended Wei Xi.

Guo Zhiju was smiling and graceful, and the image of an important minister was fully revealed, and his words were amazing: "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor, colleagues, the times have changed, we must keep pace with the times!" ”

Let's listen to how he keeps pace with the times!
