In the third year of the Tang Dynasty, after nearly ten years of recuperation, Tubo raised troops to attack again, led by the famous general Garqinling to lead an army of 300,000, launched a crazy attack on Tuyuhun, originally under normal circumstances, Tang Xiujing, who built a city on the border of Yu Tuyuhun for defense, was able to resist for a while even if he could not defeat the enemy, but he did not expect that a major event happened at this time.

Almost at the same time as the Tubo army, the ****** tribe's Ashdevin Fu and Ashina were appointed in the Shan Yu Duhufu and suddenly led the troops to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and set up Ashina mud as Khan, and the Turkic chieftains of the twenty-four states responded, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, and the world shook.

The imperial court was furious after receiving the news of the Turkic rebellion, and immediately ordered Shan Yu Dadu Protector Shi Xiao Siye, and the generals Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia to carry out the conquest, but soon they were defeated by the Turks.

Today's Turkic hundreds of thousands of troops have rebelled, due to the characteristics of the nomads, they have nearly 100,000 cavalry at once, plundering the original Shan Yu Duhufu, and the most striking thing is that the newly established Turkic Khanate led the elite cavalry to the south, Liankeshengzhou, Huaiyuan and other places, in an attempt to cut off the return of the garrison of the four towns of Anxi, and at the same time cut off the supply road from Chang'an to the four towns of Anxi, so that the garrison of Anxi was isolated.

In such a situation, anyone with a little brain can see that the reason why the Turks dare to rebel must have established a military alliance with Tubo a long time ago, and the first step in their cooperation with each other is to eat the four towns of Tuyuhun and Anxi!

Therefore, after a secret discussion between Empress Wu and his advisers, it was decided to worship Shi Tang Xiujing, the governor of Anxi Prefecture, as the governor of Liangzhou, and ordered him to lead the army of Anxi Protectorate to aid Liangzhou, and at the same time, he accepted Liu Renliang's recommendation, and appointed Zhongshu Ling, Zhao Guogong Li Jingxuan as the general manager of Taohe Road, and the ambassador of Zhenfu, and the governor of Shanzhou, with Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Sima Wang Xiaojie of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate as the deputy governor, led an army of 180,000 to Tuyuhun to resist Tubo.

After the news came, Li Jingxuan was shocked, because he didn't understand military affairs at all, and asked him to send troops to fight, which was simply to send him to death, even if he was lucky enough not to die, he would inevitably return with a big defeat in the end, and the responsibility of this defeat was enough to make him unable to eat and walk around.

Therefore, Li Jingxuan immediately concluded: This must be a conspiracy, clearly letting himself fight, but in fact he wants to harm himself, and as for the mastermind among them, there is no doubt that Liu Renliang and Empress Wu are the ones who have no doubts!

Although Li Jingxuan is a confidant of the Empress Wu on the surface, he has already secretly pledged his allegiance to the crown prince Li Xian, originally this secret Empress Wu Party members didn't know at all, but he didn't expect that Li Xian would later open a martial arts move, and after getting the consent, the Empress Wu actually appointed Li Jingxuan to take charge of the selection, seeing that Xue Rengui and others had obtained great benefits from it and gathered many talents in the military circles, Li Xian finally couldn't help but be red-eyed and hot, and asked Li Jingxuan to give him a few, but he didn't expect Li Jingxuan to be exposed like this.

Empress Wu has long been dissatisfied with Li Jingxuan's frequent disobedience to her words, and now she finally found out that this old thing had quietly taken refuge in the prince, but on the surface, he appeared in the face of the party, and he had a great advantage of himself!

Is it easy to take advantage of the martial queen? Therefore, after learning the news, she began to deliberately deal with Li Jingxuan, but Li Jingxuan is also an upright person, and it is difficult to catch his mistakes for a while.

The contradiction between Liu Renliang and Li Jingxuan has been a long time, mainly because Li Jingxuan has been in charge of the Ministry for many years, and there are many officials in the court, and at the same time, he also joined the Li clan of Zhao County at that time, and the three wives before and after were all Shandong scholars, so the power in the court is great, so Liu Renliang wrote to Gaozong, hoping to transfer Li Jingxuan out of the ministry, and it happened that this letter was passed to the Empress Wu, and in order to win over Li Jingxuan, the Empress Wu handed over this letter to Li Jingxuan, who also appeared in the party at that time. Li Jingxuan has been targeting Liu Renliang everywhere since then, in the first year of Yifeng, with the help of Empress Wu, Li Jingxuan succeeded Liu Renliang as the Zhongshu Order, becoming the first person in the prime minister, and Liu Renliang was driven to Hexi to defend Tubo, after that, Liu Renliang repeatedly suggested to the imperial court to add troops to garrison, and repeatedly asked for grain and grass, but each time was rejected by Li Jingxuan, now Tubo is coming, Liu Renliang in order to retaliate against Li Jingxuan, he wrote to Gaozong, want to prevent the attack of Tubo, Li Jingxuan must be.

Empress Wu originally wanted to find an excuse to deal with Li Jingxuan, but now that she finally found an opportunity, she naturally waved her pen without hesitation and ordered Li Jingxuan to lead the army to the battle.

"Damn, Empress Wu and Liu Renliang are so deliberate in order to deal with me, knowing that I don't understand military affairs, but they want me to go on an expedition, this is not only to harm me, but also to ignore national affairs, isn't it chilling?"

Li Jingxuan sighed, and decided to go to Gaozong to explain all this.

Li Jingxuan's luck was not bad, just in time for Gaozong's health to improve slightly, so he met Gaozong smoothly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Li Jingxuan, please be safe."

"Excuse me", Gao Zongxu raised his hand and said with a faint smile: "Li Aiqing saw me, I'm afraid it's not just to ask for peace, right?" I don't know what else is going on? ”

Li Jingxuan suddenly paused when he heard the words and said: "Your Majesty Chenqi, a few days ago, Tubo led a large army to attack, and Weichen was recommended by Liu Xiang, and was worshiped as the general manager of Taohe Road, and the ambassador of the pacification, and the governor of Shanzhou. ”

But he didn't expect Gaozong to sneer slightly after hearing this, and then shouted loudly: "Okay, you Li Jingxuan, now that foreign enemies are attacking, and the imperial court is employing people, you don't say that you have no hesitation for the world, and you actually let me take back my life and punish Gao Ming!" Hmph, as the prime minister of the dynasty, one person is above ten thousand people, is this how you repay the country's kindness? The matter of Tubo is that Liu Aiqing needs me, and I will go there in person without flinching, not to mention you Li Jingxuan! This matter is not allowed, you go back quickly and prepare to go on the expedition, I am tired. ”

After finishing speaking, Gaozong ordered the attendants around him to drive Li Jingxuan out of the harem.

Li Jingxuan had a bitter face, sighed for a long time, but he had no choice but to get out of the harem, but he lost his soul all the way, and it was like a dream.

"Alas, I didn't expect my Li Jingxuan to be so unlucky, before I finished speaking, I was reprimanded by His Majesty, could it be that the sky is going to kill me? With my two strokes, against the famous Tibetan general Garqinling, and with 180,000 against 300,000, how can I have a chance of winning? I'm afraid that Liu Renliang, the old man, and the poisonous woman of the Empress Wu are watching the jokes of my treatment after the defeat. Am I just the laughing stock for them? ”

Li Jingxuan sighed all the way, uneasy, and almost bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Jingxuan apologized again and again, and after finishing speaking, he wanted to go forward again.

At this time, I heard someone say: "It turned out to be Li Xiang!" I don't know why Li Xiang is so restless today? But for the sake of the Tibetan conquest? ”

Li Jingxuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the voice, only to find that it was Li Xian, the king of Zhou, on the other side, and immediately seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said with tears: "King, the lower officials don't understand military affairs, how can they fight against the enemy?" The key is that this will make me more than 100,000 soldiers in the Tang Dynasty innocent blood, and the lower officials can't bear it, so I also ask the king to save those soldiers, and the lower officials are deeply grateful to the king for his kindness on behalf of those soldiers. ”

Li Xianyan nodded when he heard this, and then said: "This matter is not the place to speak, Li Xiang will go to the East Palace to discuss this matter with the prince, and Xiao Wang will also arrive later, this time he will definitely do his best to help Li Xiang." ”

"Thank you to the king, the king's grace, like reconstruction, the next official will definitely repay him in the future." Li Jingxuan suddenly arched his hand at Li Xian as if he had a backbone, and then hurried to the East Palace.

After Li Jingxuan left, Li Xian stood there alone and sighed deeply.

In fact, Li Xian doesn't have a good impression of Li Jingxuan, because he knows this person better than Empress Wu, Gaozong and Li Xian, although Li Jingxuan seems to be very decent, and he is also quite talented, and the talents selected are all talented, absolutely competent, but he is too greedy for power, and even for the power in his hands, he stepped on two boats, while declaring his allegiance to the Queen of Heaven, while secretly taking refuge in the prince, but Li Xian knew that he actually had no sincerity to anyone, all he cared about was the power in his hands, Although he said that he was thinking about the soldiers on the front line, he was actually afraid of taking responsibility for the defeat.

However, what Li Xian cares about the most is what Li Jingxuan cares about the most, which is the lives of those 180,000 soldiers. These are all the people of Datang, they have withstood the test of long-term war, and they are all iron-blooded men, if they are buried by a leader who does not know how to soldier, it is really a great loss for Datang!

In order to achieve their ulterior motives, Liu Renliang and Empress Wu could ignore the lives of these 180,000 soldiers, but Li Xian could not do this.

"These soldiers are desperately working on the front line, but you have disregarded their lives for a small conspiracy, is it not as good as the 180,000 loyal and brave soldiers who are not as good as that little bit of power struggle? You can watch them die, but we can't! Therefore, this time, even if I risk offending my mother and even my father, I will do my best to stop this! Li Xian clenched his fists tightly and said silently. (To be continued.) )
