After Wu Youning was awarded the title of Duke of Xia and Wu Youji was awarded the title of Duke of Dai, he was each presented with a mansion by the imperial court, and the two mansions were adjacent. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Youning was eighteen years old, Wu Youji was ten years old, the two had never been officials, and they didn't read much, Wu Zetian only awarded them knighthoods, and did not give them official positions for the time being, and arranged for them to go to Guozijian (equivalent to the current university, and it was the only university in the Tang Dynasty) to study.

The Xu family army won the battle in the former Goguryeo and the original Baekje region, Xu Qing was awarded the title of Andong Guogong under the strong claim of Li Zhi, the samurai army fought with Silla, it was the end of the draw, and the battle was not won, the Tang Dynasty did not occupy an inch of land in Silla, but Wu Zetian brazenly claimed that the samurai army had won a great victory in Silla, and the rewards for the senior officers of the samurai army were much more than the rewards for the senior officers of the Xu family army.

The leading general of the Wujia Army, the general of the Right Guard, Wu Sansi, entered the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sealed the Duke of Liang, and was also in charge of the Right Guard, and the general of the Left Guard, Liu Renliang, was promoted to Shangshu and the right Cheng, ranking as the prime minister, and Liu Renyuan, the general of the Left Weiwei, was promoted to the head of the military department. Wu Zetian placed his confidant Pei Xingjian in the position of General Wei of the Left Army, and accepted Hei Ling Changzhi, the former general of Baekje to the Tang Dynasty, as a confidant and placed him in the position of General Zuo Weiwei.

Participated in the Western Expedition and fought a victory against Tibet, and Wu Yajun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, who did not participate in the Eastern Expedition, was named the Duke of Song, neither participated in the Western Expedition nor the Eastern Expedition, and Wu Chenghe, the general of the Flying Cavalry Army, was named the Duke of Zhao.

And Xu Jiajun's senior officers were the only ones Xu Qing who was added to the rank of knight under Li Zhi's insistence, and became the commander of the Central Command of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and was awarded the title of Duke of Anton, and the rest of the senior officers, including the famous general Xue Rengui, were not given an additional official and knighted by the imperial court, but only a little bounty. Xu Qing served as the commander of the Central Command of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and obtained Li Zhi's permission to appoint officials on his own, and then gave the list of officials to Li Zhi to confirm the rank and official title, and then Li Zhi issued it to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War in the form of a holy decree, and supplemented the official appointment letter of the imperial court.

The power of attorney was only a formality, because most of the budget of the Andong Protectorate was personally contributed by Xu Qing, and only a small part was borne by the imperial court. The Anton Protectorate does not accept the supervision and leadership of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, it is a small kingdom operated by Xu Qing**, Xu Qing reports directly to Li Zhi, and his immediate boss is the emperor Li Zhi. The reason why the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War asked for a letter of appointment and a grade was because people at that time were not used to working for private bosses, and they were only accustomed to official positions, grades, titles, and salaries being given by the imperial court. Xu Qing had no choice but to do his best to meet the expectations of his officials.

Coupled with the fact that the Hou Party supported the rebellion of the Tianxing Sect, which led to the killing of He Changjie, Xu Qing's hostility towards Wu Zetian was deeper, Xu Qing mastered 60,000 old-style troops and 2,000 new-style troops in Chang'an, and in the entire Datang, counting the three reserve mountain divisions on the Silk Road, more than 50,000 samurai and veterans of the Longmen Dart Bureau, Datang Trading Company, and Datang Commercial Company, 100,000 Fan Yang Army, 100,000 Datang troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula, Xu Qing mastered more than 300,000 troops, and he was not afraid of Wu Zetian at all.

Xu Qing held back his anger, and took Wu Youning and Wu Youji as the two brothers. The day after they moved into the Xia State Mansion and the Dai Guo Mansion, Xu Qing instructed people to buy the houses of officials and wealthy families around the two prefectures, and forced them to move out of their original houses by force if they were unwilling to sell the houses and those who were not satisfied. After that, a wall was built to connect the houses, and the Xia State Mansion and the Dai Guo Mansion were surrounded in the middle, leaving only a small gap for one person to pass through, not blocking the road, not allowing them to ride horses and pass carriages, and publicly humiliating the Wu brothers. Horses and carriages were like today's automobiles in the Tang Dynasty, and they were essential means of transportation for the rich and noble. The luxurious four-horse-drawn and eight-horse-drawn carriages accompanied by a large group of maids and guards can also symbolize the prominent status.

The Wu brothers and Xu Qing are both Guogong, but the strength is extremely different, and the guards and male servants of the Wu brothers' Guogong Mansion add up to no more than five hundred.

Wu Zetian asked Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi to each bring 3,000 elite soldiers to demolish the walls built by Xu Qing's men to surround the Xia State Mansion and the Dai Guo Mansion, and clashed with hundreds of officers and soldiers of Xu Qing's right military guard. Xu Qing, who was hiding in the newly bought house of Xu Qing nearby, led two battalions of male soldiers of the New Army and 5,000 elite troops of the Xuancheng Princess's Mansion, Yiyang Princess's Mansion, and Youwu Guard's Army to immediately reinforce.

A clash broke out between the two sides. The soldiers of the Xuancheng Princess's Mansion and the Yiyang Princess's Mansion were trained by Xue Rengui, Xue Jinlian, Yang Sijian, Pei Judao, Li Zhizhuo, and other talented generals, and under the training of Xu Qing's future world special forces physical training program, although the army was only a little more than a year old, its combat effectiveness was not lost to the standing army of the 16th Guard of the Tang Central Army.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi's men suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat, reporting to Wu Zetian that they had fallen into Xu Qing's ambush and were surrounded by Xu Qing's three times his own people. In fact, Xu Qing's people did not surround Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi's men, but the two armies fought face to face. The two sides are about the same.

Wu Zetian was furious, relying on the army he controlled far exceeded the army controlled by Xu Qing, and the next morning, the genius Meng Mengliang mobilized more than 100,000 troops to surround the main gate of the Andong Mansion and launched a strong attack. Xu Qing's Right Guard, Cheng Wuting's Right Xiaowei, Longmen Dart Bureau, Tianxing Sect, Datang Trading Company, Datang Commercial Company's martial arts and veterans saw the distress flame bombs sent by the Duchy of An, and quickly gathered to the Duchy of Andong, gathering 40,000 people outside the main gate of the Duchy of Andong to form a counter-encirclement of the Hou Party army.

Xu Qing took into account the intensification of contradictions with the Hou Party when planning before the construction of the Anton State Mansion, and on the day when he was besieged by the Hou Party army, the courtyard wall of the Anton State Mansion was built as strong as the Great Wall, and the city wall was guarded by 20,000 troops and 2,000 new troops, which was not so easy to attack.

Later, the party army could not be attacked, and confronted Xu Jiajun. Wu Sansi asked Xu Qing to surrender, Xu Qing ridiculed Wu Sansi for attacking if he had a kind, and going home to hug a woman if he didn't have a seed.

Seeing that a big war was coming, Li Zhi, who was timid and afraid of things, in order to protect his two daughters and four nieces living in the Andong Mansion from being implicated in the war, personally rushed to the outside of the Anton Mansion and shouted to the hundreds of thousands of troops controlled by Wu Zetian, who surrounded the Anton Mansion, and asked them to retreat.

Later, the leader of the party army, Wu Sansi, only carried out Wu Zetian's orders and refused to retreat.

Li Zhi was enraged, and left with a cruel sentence: "The officers and soldiers who retreat will not be held accountable, and the officers and soldiers who refuse to retreat will be punished for rebellion."

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi discussed with their henchmen and generals, and finally decided to retreat. Li Zhi's cruel words cannot be taken as a deaf ear, you must know that a sick tiger is also more fierce than a cat, and it is still very terrible to launch a threat. The Xu Jiajun present accounted for about half of the Hou Party army, and the Xu Jiajun had a powerful new hand-held weapon (pistol), and if the two armies started a bloody battle, the Wujia army might not be able to take advantage.

The samurai army withdrew. Xu Qing's reinforcements also dispersed.

Chang'an returned to calm.

Xu Qing took Princess Xuancheng, Princess Yiyang, and four county lords, escorted by a battalion of male soldiers of the new army and two battalions of female soldiers of the new army, and entered the palace to express their gratitude to Li Zhi. Li Zhi did not blame Xu Qing too much, and only asked Xu Qing not to provoke the Hou Party before his strength could easily defeat the Hou Party. The border of the Tang Dynasty is restless, the surrounding Tubo and Dashi (Arabia) are eyeing each other, and the Eastern Turks and Khitan are expanding their armaments, showing signs of rebellion, Li Zhi does not want serious civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, so that foreign enemies can take advantage of it.

Xu Qing felt that what Li Zhi said made sense, and said yes again and again. It seems that Li Zhi's cowardice is only a superficial phenomenon, he is cautious, not to fight uncertain battles, he has been looking for opportunities to regain the lost imperial power, but his strength is not good, before he is sure to defeat Wu Zetian, he does not dare to act rashly, so as not to anger Wu Zetian and abolish his emperorship.

Xu Qing raised some expectations for Li Zhi, expecting him to do something with his cooperation.
