The funeral procession exceeded 10,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of troops patrolling and guarding the periphery, after all, the important nobles and officials of the entire Chang'an were here, if an army really attacked this team, maybe the Tang Dynasty would die directly, so we had to be careful, of course, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and there are heavy troops around it, so it is basically impossible for an army to kill here.

There are many people and cars in the team, and a considerable part of them are old and weak women, plus Li Yuan's coffin cannot be bumped when it is transported, although the road has been smoothed several times, but the speed of the hearse is still very slow, so when it is getting late, the whole team is still one-third away from Sanyuan.

When it was completely dark, the funeral procession finally came to the camp prepared in advance, where tents had been set up for the funeral procession to rest for the night, and everyone was so tired that they didn't even have time to eat lunch, but they were hastily eating snacks and dry food after getting into the carriage, and now they were hungry with their chests and backs.

However, when Li Xiu came, Princess Pingyang was eating with Li Jin, of course, they were all vegetarians, and Li Jin, who was a picky eater, was eating very fragrant at this time, but Princess Pingyang obviously had no appetite.

Li Xiu knew that Princess Pingyang couldn't eat, so he came to persuade her, and he also sat down to eat with her, and finally Princess Pingyang finally reluctantly drank a bowl of porridge, Li Xiu saw that it was not early at this time, and Princess Pingyang also had a little tiredness on her face, so she persuaded her to rest early, at this time Li Jin patted his chest and promised that he would take care of his mother, and finally Li Xiu left with confidence.

However, Li Xiu did not go back to his tent, but went straight to the area where Ma Ye and their civil and military officials lived, and when he entered Ma Ye's tent, he found that there were already two people here, and they were all old acquaintances of Li Xiu, one was Qin Qiong, and the other was Cheng Yanjin.

"Hehe, I knew you would come, and it just so happened that Uncle Bao and they were also here to inquire about the news, so I told you all about it, so as not to bother with any more words!" As soon as Ma Ye saw Li Xiu, he also smiled at the moment.

"Old horse, since the horses are here, don't sell it, Your Majesty's face has been ugly today, I guess there must be a war somewhere, you tell me quickly, I can prepare early!" Cheng Yanjin first arched his hand when he saw Li Xiu come in, and then said to Ma Ye eagerly, it seems that he has been here for a while, but Ma Ye has never told him, after all, some news of Feinusi needs to be kept secret.

"Uncle Ma, you people from Feinu Division actually broke into the funeral procession to deliver news, this matter must not be small, right?" Li Xiu also came over and sat down at this time and asked, it is estimated that many people have noticed this matter today, so Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin will come to inquire about the news regardless of fatigue.

"Big things did happen this time, and Lao Cheng guessed right, it's really going to be a war!" Ma Ye drank tea at this time, and then sighed.

"Really? That's great! Cheng Yanjin is a war maniac, as soon as he heard that there was going to be a war, he immediately slapped his thigh and shouted in surprise, but Qin Qiong showed a worried expression, after all, it is the people who suffer the most in the war, but I don't know if this time it will be fought inside or outside the country?

"Uncle Ma, which side is going to fight?" Li Xiu also hurriedly asked when he heard this, although Datang destroyed the biggest enemy, the Turks, and at the same time deterred the surrounding enemies, but the surrounding area is not very peaceful, except for the east is a big overseas, the other three sides may break out war, of course, with the strength of Datang, it is not afraid of war, but the war will always have some impact on the country.

"This time it is the party in the southwest, the leader of the Dang Xiang Qiang Tuoba Department Tuoba Chici, under the banner of revenge for Tuyuhun raised troops to rebel, and successively attacked the five states of Rail, Lai, Feng, Yan, and Yuan, and coerced more party members to rebel with him, among which the Rail Prefecture assassin Shi Xifeng Lai Bu was killed, and several other states also suffered heavy losses, and now the Tuoba Chici rebels are powerful, claiming to have 100,000 people, and they may attack Nanhui and other states at any time!" Ma Ye said with a solemn expression at this time.

"Party items? It turned out to be them! Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and at the same time turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin next to him, because the rebellion of the party members was originally related to Cheng Yanjin.

Speaking of the Dangxiang people, they were originally a branch of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people in Tuyuhun also belong to the same clan as them, although Tuyuhun is a country established by the Xianbei people, but the Xianbei people and the Qiang people in the territory have also begun to integrate, and the number of Qiang people is large, so Tuyuhun can also be said to be a Qiang country, which also makes the Qiang people in the party and Tuyuhun naturally closer.

Of course, the party is not a unified force, they are also divided into several large tribes, including the fine Feng clan, Fei Ting, Xiang Li, Pochao clan, Ye Li clan, Mi Bao clan, Tuoba clan and other eight tribes, in addition to the Black Dangxiang, Snow Mountain Dangxiang and other tribes, among which the Tuoba tribe is the most powerful, and this rebellion is the most powerful Tuoba tribe.

Originally, the party people used to live under the rule of the Tubo people, but with the strength of Tubo, the oppression of the party people became more and more severe, forcing them to lose their homeland and relocate, and finally some party people attached to the Tang Dynasty, such as the fine Feng clan was the first to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, for which the Tang Dynasty set up five party states such as rail state and cuizhou to settle the party people, but I didn't expect this Tuoba rebellion, and the first to suffer was these five party states, the leader of the fine Feng clan, and also the fine seal of the Tang Rail Prefecture assassin history died in battle, This is already a naked declaration of war against Datang, how can Li Shimin not be angry?

"I didn't expect it to be those party Xiangqiang, I knew that when I attacked Tuyuhun, I should have destroyed them directly, so that there would be no trouble today!" Cheng Yanjin sneered disdainfully when he heard this.

Those party states were originally next to Tuyuhun, and these party people have always been very close to the Tuyuhun people, and they often marry each other, so it can be said that they are not separated from each other, but they are nominally attached to the Tang Dynasty after all, so before Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji destroyed Tuyuhun with smallpox, but they did not dare to fight on the side of the party people, after all, the party people belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they are fine to fight Tuyuhun, but if they attack the party people, the nature will be completely different, and even Li Shimin will not be able to protect them at that time.

"Tuoba is the most powerful tribe of the party people, and it is also the most closely related to Tuyuhun, Tuoba Chici is married to Murong Fuyun's sister as a wife, before we destroyed Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun's head was also sent to Chang'an, which also caused some dissatisfaction among the party members, among which Tuoba Chici was the most, some time ago he finally rebelled, and he was very strategic, the first to attack were the party states, in order to coerce more party people to rebel, otherwise only with the strength of their Tuoba department, I'm afraid it's not a cause for concern at all. Ma Ye added again at this time.

"The number of party members in the five states of the party should be about 300,000, but even if all the adult men in the clan are armed, at most about 70,000 or 80,000, plus there are still some party members who do not obey Tuoba Chi, so the rebellious party members are about 50,000 people who died this time, and it is absolutely impossible to have 100,000 people, but the party people have a fierce temperament, and the 50,000 army is not so easy to exterminate." Qin Qiong, who had not spoken, finally said at this time.

Qin Qiong has been guarding the northwest before, and the south is the residential area of the party members, a few years ago, there were party members who made a rebellion, and they were killed by Qin Qiong and defeated, it can be said that Qin Qiong's name also has a great deterrent effect among the party members, so he naturally understands the situation of the party members very well.

"The chaos of the party is mainly concentrated in the party state, in other words, the impact on our Tang Dynasty is not too great, but Tuoba Chici is too good at picking the time, and he actually chose the day of the emperor's funeral, I am most worried about how to calm His Majesty's anger?" Li Xiu touched his chin at this time and said softly, Qin Qiong and they mainly consider the problem from a military point of view, while Li Xiu is from a political point of view, Li Shimin, the emperor, is the incarnation of the Tang Dynasty, and his words and deeds will affect the future direction of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, in Li Xiu's opinion, that Tuoba Chici is simply looking for death, and the Tang Dynasty is holding a funeral for Li Yuan, but he dared to rebel at this time, which is simply slapping Li Shimin's face, it is estimated that Li Shimin is now eager to give a Tuoba Chici to pieces, but it is precisely because of this that Li Xiu is afraid that Li Shimin will do something irrational because of anger.

"Hehe, do you need to say this, if you want to calm Your Majesty's anger, you naturally have to use the blood of the party members, especially the Tuoba Chici, if Your Majesty sends me to use troops, within three months, I will definitely unscrew the other party's hands and send them to Your Majesty!" Cheng Biting Jin bared his teeth and smiled at this time, but there was an indescribable bloody breath in his smile, this guy is a war maniac, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't fight for a day.

"Lao Cheng, don't be happy, you must know that you and Hou Junji's buttocks haven't been wiped clean last time, this time it will definitely not be your turn, but I think Shu Bao is very suitable, originally he had suppressed the rebellion of the party members before, those party members are very afraid of Shu Bao, and Shu Bao's body has almost recovered, as long as he is sent, it won't take long to quell the rebellion of the party items!" At this time, Ma Ye poured a basin of cold water on Cheng Yanjin.

"That's not necessarily, with Your Majesty's temper, you definitely want to slaughter the rebellious party members now, when it comes to killing, who can compare to me in the entire Tang Dynasty?" Cheng Yanjin shouted unconvinced at this time.

However, as soon as Cheng Yanjin's words fell, he suddenly saw a small chamberlain rushing over and said: "Your Majesty has a will, Xuanyi Guogong and Lu Guogong will meet you!" ”
