There was a commotion outside.

Li Wei let Wang Guo go for the time being and walked out. Many guards were seen pushing each other. Didn't ask, and knew what was going on.

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo came and brought two hundred guards. In addition to half of these guards, who are really responsible for protection, half of them are some middle- and low-level generals, ranging from the ranger general of the fifth rank to the captain of the escort of the ninth rank.

They didn't come to Qinghai for simple protection, Wang Guo is different from Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi stayed in Jiannan for a long time, and even in the Qinghai army, there was also a part of the army sent by Li Xiaoyi. If Wang Guo wants to have a say in Qinghai, he must have his own close subordinates.

They are Wang Guo's close subordinates in the future, and they have the title of Wusan champion, and they will be stuffed into various armies in Qinghai, and they will immediately become generals. Through these generals, the Qinghai army was captured in their hands at once. These people are all from the children of Yin Gui near Luoyang, or the soldiers in the Yulin Army, how they were selected, Hei Zhi Changzhi does not know, but these manpower arrangements are undoubtedly from the hands of his mother. In this way, the northern army was gradually controlled by the mother.

He sent a message to Li Shoucheng to meet him, but Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo didn't know what to do, so they brought all these people over. I saw that the guards were beating Li Shoucheng's big ear scrapers to stop them, and there was a conflict.

Keep your face calm and be silent.

Pulling and pulling, some guards had sharp eyes, saw Li Wei, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

Sprinkled eyes together.

Wang Guo and Li Shoucheng didn't say it explicitly, but what they came to Qinghai for, they all knew it in their hearts.

"Take them all, and those who resist will be killed!" Li Wei said coldly.

The soldiers from Qinghai came like wolves and tied up all these people. Li Wei said again: "Take down Wang Guo for me too, and kill it later!" ”

Li Shoucheng's eyes were dizzy, and he was left with only one single commander.

Li Wei and Heizhi Changzhi walked to the inner room, and Heizhi Changzhi said: "Your Majesty, you are in such a hurry, there are changes in the capital." ”

It means that Li Zhi's body may not be able to do it, and Wu Zetian is so urgent.

"Not necessarily." Li Zhi's body has long been out of order, and maybe he will die when he is seriously ill that day. Wu Zetian's action had nothing to do with Li Zhi's body, because he didn't understand military affairs. This is Wu Zetian's biggest shortcoming.

Mentioning this, Hei Tooth Changzhi remembered one thing and said: "Pei Shilang and Young Eunuch Zhu secretly sent that Frankish princess to Qinghai. ”

Li Wei was stunned, but he also understood Pei Xingjian's intentions, and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"The minister quietly put her in Shanzhou to settle."

"Well, wait a few months, send her to Shattered Leaf City again. Then send someone to send a letter to Zhu Jingze, and if anyone asks, they will say that she has arrived in Daqin. ”

"Oh, in addition, Pei Shilang asked the minister to go to Luosome City to invite someone to Qinghai."

"Some cities?"

"It's the little queen mother of Tubo." Although Heiya Changzhi is not Zhu Jingze, after knowing most of His Majesty's military plans, he also knows the reason why Pei Xingjian can invite the Lu clan to Qinghai. But when it comes to the Wulu family, it still looks weird.

Li Wei also had a headache. At present, there is no cooperation between the Lu clan and him, but as long as the difficulties of the past few years are overcome, the Gar brothers will be defeated. At that time, it will depend on what the Lu clan thinks, if she just wants to avenge Mangsong Mangzan, then it will be easy to do. Li Wei doesn't eat it either, Mangsong Mangzan is a dead man, and he can't eat it for him. On the contrary, it shows that there is no Lu family's affection and righteousness.

I'm afraid that she is not only avenging Mangsong Mangzan, but also thinking more about the Tubo family, so not only will she turn against each other, but the father and son will also fight each other. However, he is very much looking forward to the arrival of the Wulu clan. His plan is perfect, but Wu Zetian is his biological mother after all. She has made a lot of contributions to the family, not Wu Zetian, who later killed countless ministers and children of the clan. I'm also not very active. If you don't use strong means, as long as you let your mother move freely, her threat alone is enough to be a thousand troops.

Without the arrival of the Lu family, he could give himself a lot of help, and asked expectantly, "Are you here?" ”

"It's not here yet, but the minister estimates that it will be soon."

Maybe she won't come, if she thinks she's ready to deal with the crisis in front of her, and if she thinks she's going to be able to deal with the crisis in front of her, and if she thinks she's going to be able to do it again.

Whether it can come or not, I can't be sure. The main road is too far away.

Li Wei thought of Lingxi, and suddenly understood the reason why Li Shimin was not interested in Lingxi. Not only was the main focus on the conquest of Goryeo back then, but Lingxi was too far away. Goryeo only defeated Yang Guang twice in Liaodong, allowing it to stand, which was not conducive to the establishment of prestige in the Tang Dynasty. Goryeo is not very far from the capital, and it is not as far as Lingnan, which is easy to manage. Li Shimin probably didn't expect the tenacity of the Silla stick to squeeze out a large piece of land from the hands of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As for Lingxi, not only is it at war with the powerful Great Food, but the road is too far. He also rushed to the city of Moufu non-stop, and the Western Regions was not the road where Tang Sanzang learned from the West, with a complete post road and various post stations, and when he came back, he was all elite cavalry. It took more than a month. At the same speed, it will take more than two months for the news package in the river to feed to the capital. In winter, this time doubles or triples. Walking at a normal speed takes half a year, more than half a year, to arrive. It is easy to attack, difficult to govern, different customs, living habits, and different beliefs, and it is more difficult to maintain peace for a long time than in Lingnan.

And I don't know what happened, Khorasan is now rich, although desertified, there is a lot of pasture and arable land, and the terrain is flat. But why did it become a desert area with no one inhabited? If it were all desertified, it would not be much fun for this piece of land to come, unless it was forcibly occupied in the Arabian Gulf and coveted where the oil resources were. That's impossible, there is no eternal family, and there is no waiting for the emergence of oil extraction technology, no matter how much they improve the system, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably collapse by then.

Isn't your appetite a little too good?

Indeed, at this time, Li Wei fought on the battlefield many times, and he was a little overjoyed, and he liked the idea of expanding his territory. This reflection comes at a timely time.

In the evening, the generals arrived.

Hurried all the way, and when he arrived at the border of Qinghai, he used a fast horse to inform Hei Tooth Changzhi and asked him to gather the generals.

Li Wei came to Douhe City, and most of the generals basically came.

Let Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo be brought in, as well as a group of guards.

All at once the hall was packed.

Li Wei took out the big map and said to Wang Guo: "I said that you want to murder me, but you are not convinced, I will tell you." Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at the army I brought to Lingxi, after months of bloody fighting, the region of Khorasan in Persia has basically been taken by us. ”

With a pen, he drew a circle in the cities of Nishapur and Guchang: "The farthest place of the army, reach here." Khorasan was the richest region of Persia, and the Great Cannibals were bound to counterattack and retake it. ”

Li Shoucheng was shocked for a while, and His Majesty had won another great victory.

This is a must, without victory, Li Wei will not attack. At this time, it was a critical time, and a big defeat and a big victory brought Li Wei a completely different meaning.

Li Wei continued: "The Great Eclipse army is very strong, although I have won several great victories on this trip, there are many reasons, in the entire Khorasan region, there are not many Great Eclipse soldiers, because of the relationship between religion, the relationship between the Great Eclipse and the Persians has deteriorated, and many invasions have caused damage to Hezhong and Tocharo. This is in the favor of the ruling zone. Because of the caliphate dispute, the internal politics and religion were divided, and the new caliph did not do much. This is beneficial to us within the Great Food. But what about the combat effectiveness of the Great Eclipse Army? I personally led my army into battle with them, and I observed them for a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, Qinghai soldiers can be said to be the most elite soldiers of our dynasty. ”

The generals couldn't help but straighten their waists, very proud.

But the Qinghai model cannot be replicated, and many fights, fair rewards and punishments have created a large number of good generals. Later, he used the Tuyuhun people to train the troops in actual combat many times, and the tuntian fields that were cultivated were distributed, so that they were truly exempted from tax service, and they could be rewarded again for their military exploits. It gave the soldiers the courage to fight. This made the Qinghai soldiers have the same environment as the soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty. However, in other regions, where to draw so many fields out of rewards?

Li Wei's voice changed and he said: "But aside from all factors, when the two armies clash, we can only draw with them. In the plateau of Qinghai and the Western Regions, the big cannibals are not as good as the Qinghai soldiers. If we put it in the Khorasan region, we will not be able to defeat them in the hot weather. And the big cannibal generals are like clouds, and one of the governors we met this time is unknown in the big food, but the command level is not simple. If it weren't for his carelessness that we would not attack the Khorasan region and were ill-prepared, perhaps we would still be stuck on the banks of the Wuhu River today. ”

Speaking of which, after glancing at Wang Guo, this old boy was quite unconvinced. He also said: "The Great Eclipse will inevitably counterattack, and it is possible that there is a fierce battle in Khorasan at this time. It was not enough to build Persia and the twenty or thirty thousand troops I had brought with us, but it was also necessary to send troops from Tocharian and the river to reluctantly repel the counterattack of the great cannibals. But there will be a consequence, Tochar, Hezhong, and the Western Regions are all empty. What if two more armies attacked like this? ”

A straight line was drawn from the Eastern Turks, straight to Jinshan, Turgish, and Broken Leaf City, and a straight line was drawn from the West Kunlun Pass, the salt road of Tubo, straight to the Tianshan Mountains, and the Eastern Turkic forces converged, and then a straight line was divided, leading from the Western Regions to the South Road of the West, and went straight to Tocharo.

After the painting was finished, the generals who didn't know the inside story all gasped.

Slightly exaggerated. The Eastern Turks are developing rapidly, but they will not be overwhelmed and can hit Broken Leaf City. However, Qinling will not sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty calmly obtain Tocharian and Sestan and form a strategic encirclement of Tibet. In this way, it is very likely that the two sides will be tightened, and there will be a major collapse in the entire Western Regions and Lingxi.

"Why do I know that there is such a danger, but I will still conquer Khorasan, it is precisely because of you and the Black Tooth General that I am enough to complete a two-sided and three-sided battle in the west. However, there are some people in the court who are very unpleasant to see that I am alive in the world, so they bewitched my father and the emperor to issue an edict to transfer the black tooth general back, and then use some generals to replace your status. When the time came, I saw that I was nervous in Lingxi, and I did not send troops silently. I didn't want to run for my life alone, and Fuling let me get out of the way. Will there be a second fluke? ”

Turning his head, he looked at Wang Guo and asked, "I said, you want to murder me, did you wronged you?" There are no generals to send in the real court, and Cheng Wu is more powerful than Pei Xingjian, and he can't deal with a small Turkic riot? Who is Gu Dulu, it turns out that Wen Bo's subordinates are himself! ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't accept it, you don't know Your Majesty's plan at all."

"So you came to Qinghai to be loyal to me?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and after laughing, many people frowned. The imperial court did this, it was too much, the north forcibly erased Pei Xingjian's credit, and extended his black hand to Qinghai!

"A few years ago, it already happened once, will I sit back and wait until that day, oh, I'm stuck in Khorasan, nine deaths, to prove that you are not good for me? How many soldiers' blood has Qinghai created today's good situation, why should you accept it? After a pause, he said: "Luckily, General Heizhi and I guessed in advance that some people would do this, and regardless of the situation in Khorasan, we had to rush back to Qinghai to stop you. Do you know how many plans you have ruined my plan, and how many soldiers in Khorasan have innocently sacrificed in the land of the West because of your line? ”

"Chen really doesn't have that idea."

"Whether there is or not, based on this fact alone, I beheaded you, is it wrong? Chop! ”

"Your Majesty, you don't have the right to prison." Wang Guo shouted.

"Everyone, have you heard, I don't have the right to be in prison, but as an emperor, I can be murdered by my courtiers!"

"Kill him, kill him!" More than a hundred generals said angrily one by one. It's not enough to harm the emperor once, and he still comes. It's hard to be hurt, what kind of people are these!

Two guards dragged him down and beheaded Wang Guo outside the hall.

Li Shoucheng's legs were weak, Wang Guo was a general of the prison gate, and he was a military general from the third grade, and he was cut when he said it.

Li Wei said: "The situation is critical, the matter is urgent, I will overtake the system here, the next system, Lou Shide, you are the governor of Shanzhou, and you are in charge of the military and political affairs of Shanzhou, He, and Kuo. ”

He looked at Xue Ne, who had been brought with him, and said: "Your father has been loyal all his life, and he also served as the governor of Songzhou during his lifetime, and today I continue to appoint you as the governor of Songzhou, and run the military and political affairs of Songzhou, Maozhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and his subordinate prefectures. ”

"Well," Xue Ne replied with a little gratitude with a reddening of his eyes.

When he heard that his father had passed away, he was very sad and wanted to return to keep filial piety, but was repeatedly stopped by Li Wei. This appointment also shows the true importance that His Majesty really attaches to him.

I also looked at the second brother Qi Biguang brought by Qi Biming, who also had the material of a military general, and brought it to Qinghai to sharpen, and there was a third brother named Qi Bizhen, who held a small official position in Luoyang. Li Wei said: "I asked you to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, and also take charge of the affairs of Liang, Lan, Hui, Gan, Su, Gua, Sha, Yi, and Xiongzhou, can you be competent?" ”

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's entrustment."

"General Heizhi, I grant you the position of Governor of Watering River, and manage the military administration of the five states of Watering River, Jishi, Tao, Stacking, and Tang."

"Whoa."

"Don't worry, I also gave you the position of the governor of Qinghai Dao, and the four major governors are under your control. All the soldiers and subjects in the twenty-one states in the territory will be killed, and there will be no forgiveness, can you be competent? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."

"Also, let people post a notice in the territory of the Sidu Governor's Mansion to inform that the war is dangerous, in order to prevent the villain from misleading, all the personnel of the Sidu Governor's Mansion are transferred, and they cannot obey orders without the order of the Black Tooth Governor. Even if it's my father's edict, my system. In order to protect this knife, Li Wei ignored the serious consequences of this appointment.

"Your Majesty......"

"Otherwise, I can't feel at ease."

"Your Majesty, the minister must protect Qinghai from the scourge of the traitorous party," said Hei Zhi Changzhi.

"Get up," Li Wei helped the black tooth Changzhi up, and said to Li Shoucheng: "You go back to my father and queen mother, if you want your son to die, please make the next edict clear, don't mistake the important affairs of the family, this family is the family of the Li family, and it is also the family of the people of the world, and it is also the blood of the ancestors and countless soldiers." Otherwise, any soldiers and ministers sent to Qinghai to stir up the situation, I will let the head of the Black Tooth kill without mercy. Also, you can take this map back with you and let your father take a look at it. ”

"Yes," Li Shoucheng had to reply. What if he didn't agree, he didn't doubt that the emperor couldn't kill him.

As soon as he took the map, he heard Li Wei look at the two hundred guards, and gave another order: "These people, all of them are dismissed from their posts and sent to Nishapur City to replenish the army!" "To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
