"The Shiites only recognized Ali of the Hashemite family and his descendants as the rightful heirs, so in an uprising against the Sunni-backed Umayyad dynasty, the Shiites, Khorasans, and Abbasids reached an agreement to overthrow the Umayyad queen and that Ali's descendant Shariq would succeed the caliphate and establish a new theocratic dynasty. The Abbasids, with the support of the Khorasans, seized the caliphate, and this was the source of their contradictions, the Abbasids treacherously and the Shiites revolted......"

In the old mansion of the Anxi Festival of Qiuzi, Li Qingan was listening to the introduction of Li Huichun, the Hidden Dragon Society, on the civil strife of Dashi, Li Qing'an had returned to Anxi for a month and a half, and three days ago, he had just come to Qiuzi from Beiting, and there were some tricky things that he needed to deal with, but he unexpectedly met Li Huichun who moved here.

Due to Li Qing'an's reminder, before the fall of Broken Leaves, the Hidden Dragon Society moved back to Anxi and Beiting in batches, scattered in five places, including Shule, Bahuancheng, Qiuzi, Gaochang and Tingzhou, Li Qing'an's return undoubtedly brought them great excitement, and it would be an epoch-making beginning for the Hidden Dragon Society.

Li Qing'an listened intently to Li Huichun's narration, and he asked, "How powerful is the Shia?" ”

"The power is quite strong, all over the country, but mainly concentrated in the northern part of Khorasan and the area of the river, Shariq's nest is in the capital of the country Bukhara, the area of the river is basically the Shia religion, if the Shiite uprising is going to break out, it must happen in the riverine area."

Li Qing'an nodded, the news that Li Huichun told him was far from enough information for military operations, he smiled, changed the topic and asked, "How are the others of the Hidden Dragon Society?" ”

"Everyone is very good, thanks to Gongzi for telling us the news of the retreat in time, otherwise if you stay in Broken Leaf, you will be slaughtered by Du Mozhi, this Du Mo Zhi is recruiting troops in Broken Leaf, and all the Turgish people over the age of fourteen and under sixty will join the army, I heard that he has more than 30,000 troops, and he has the support of Da Shi, which will be a roadblock to the recovery of Broken Leaves."

Li Qingan snorted and said: "Du Mozhi is just a clown who jumps off the beam, the people are not attached, he can't become the second in Sulu, I only pay attention to the big food army." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said, "I have other things, so I won't tell you more, you continue to pay attention to the situation of Broken Leaf for me, and report to me at any time." ”

"My subordinates will definitely keep an eye on the situation of broken leaves at any time."

．．．．．．．． This time Li Qing'an came to Qiuzi, a very important reason is to persuade Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi was transferred to Jiannan and took away a large number of henchmen, this is not afraid of Li Qing'an's cleaning, Gao Xianzhi went to Jiannan is Yang Guozhong's territory, if he has no one under him, it will be difficult for him to command the army, Gao Xianzhi took his subordinates away, to some extent saved Li Qing'an a lot of trouble, after he took office, he quickly filled the vacancy in Anxi with the old department of Beiting, for example, he downplayed the military function of Qiuci and Yanqi, and sent the Anxi Tang Army to Shule, Bahuan City and Khotan were concentrated, and the steady and cautious Lifei Shouyu was appointed as the Shule soldier and horse envoy, and Lifei Yuanli was the Bahuan soldier and horse envoy, and Zhao Chongyu was transferred to the Khotanese soldier and horse envoy, and Li Siye was transferred to Beiting, and continued to serve as the deputy capital of Anxi, commanding the Anxi Mo sword army.

But Feng Changqing, another general of Anxi, did not go to Jiannan with Gao Xianzhi, he was the deputy protector of Anxi, and still stayed in Anxi, since Li Qing'an took office, he said that he was sick at home.

Feng Changqing is a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, after Gao Xianzhi was transferred out of Anxi due to the defeat of the Battle of Talas, Feng Changqing took over the post of envoy of Anxi Jiedu, but now history has been disrupted by Li Qing'an, an outsider, and Feng Changqing lost the opportunity to become a feudal official.

Feng Changqing is different from Cheng Qianli, he is not involved in the factional struggle of the imperial court, the reason why he said that he was not sick was largely because he was worried about Li Qing'an's revenge, after Li Qing'an was arrested in the capital, Feng Changqing was in charge of the Beiting military, he had purged and deposed a large number of Li Qing'an's henchmen, and now Li Qing'an has returned to Anxi, how can he let him go.

Feng Changqing's home is in the north of Qiuzi City, not very far from the original Anxi Jiedu Embassy, it is a medium-sized mansion, Feng Changqing is short in stature, ugly in appearance, squinted, lame, in the Tang Dynasty, such a person is not qualified to be an official, but Feng Changqing has become one of the famous generals in the Tang Dynasty with his outstanding talent.

Feng Changqing was originally a native of Puzhou, because his grandfather was exiled to Anxi to fill the army, he also came to Anxi, Feng Changqing lived with his grandfather when he was a teenager, his grandfather was the defender of the south gate of broken leaves, good at reading poetry and books, often taught him to read on the city gate tower, under the guidance of his grandfather, Feng Changqing read poetry and books, known as a great ambition, after the death of his grandfather, Feng Changqing had nothing to rely on, and lived a poor life since then.

Until after the age of thirty, he recommended himself to Gao Xianzhi again and again, and was finally reused, Feng Changqing was strict and upright, and had a high prestige in the Anxi army.

Li Qing'an came to the door of Feng Changqing's house, and happened to meet Feng Changqing's wife going out, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you remember me?" ”

Feng Niangzi only felt that Li Qing'an was very familiar, she looked at it carefully, suddenly remembered, and said in surprise: "You are Li Qilang!" ”

"Exactly, I don't know if Brother Feng is at home."

"In! At! ”

Feng Niangzi warmly invited Li Qing'an into the door, she didn't know that Li Qing'an had replaced Gao Xianzhi, and she didn't know that her husband was at home behind closed doors because of Li Qing'an.

"Qilang, I haven't seen you for several years, I heard that you became a big official in Beiting, congratulations so much."

"Thank you, sister-in-law! Is Brother Feng in good health? ”

"He's in good health, but he just won't go out, hey! The good deputy protects him and wants to quit, Shichiro, you can persuade him to stop doing stupid things. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm here to persuade the eldest brother."

They walked into the east courtyard and faintly heard Feng Changqinglang's reading.

"Changqing, Shichiro has come to see you."

The sound of reading continued for a few words, but it suddenly stopped, and the east courtyard became quiet, and after a while, Feng Changqing walked out with a calm face, and reluctantly saluted Li Qing'an: "See the general of the Jiedu envoy!" ”

Feng Niangzi was stunned, she looked at Li Qing'an, she couldn't say a word for a long time, Feng Changqing waved her hand, "You go get busy!" It's none of your business. ”

Feng Niangzi seemed to understand something, sighed, and turned to leave.

"Li Yuanjun, please come in!"

Li Qingan smiled and walked into the house with Feng Changqing, the room was Feng Changqing's study, very simple, surrounded by wooden shelves full of various books, in addition, there was only a table and a chair.

Feng Changqing brought a chair from the next room, brought a few teacups, poured a cup of tea for Li Qingan, and said, "Envoy, please drink tea!" ”

Li Qingan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How can General Feng call himself sick?" ”

Feng Changqing bowed his head and was silent, took a letter from the desk for a while, handed it to Li Qing'an, and said, "This letter was originally intended to be given to you today, but it happened that you came, so I gave it to you directly." ”

Li Qingan caught a glimpse of the words 'resignation letter' on the letter cover, Li Qingan took the letter, and tore it off without looking at it, Feng Changqing was shocked, "Envoy, you are..."

"General Feng, how can a person who does great things be as small as a woman, you are not fake to clean my old department in Beiting, but you think that I will hold a grudge against you, then you are too underestimate me Li Qing'an, the big husband does things, when he focuses on the world, how can he be angry because of this trivial matter, General Feng, I came to invite you to serve in Beiting, seeing that the recovery of broken leaves is imminent, it is the time to serve the country, how can you put the state affairs behind because of personal grievances!"

Li Qing'an's voice gradually became stern, Feng Changqing's face was hot, he lowered his head and said nothing, the reason why he was worried about Li Qing'an was that he saw the fate of Cheng Qianli and Zhao Tingyu, and he was afraid that he would become a ghost under Li Qing'an's knife.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "I wonder how General Li is going to deal with Da Shi?" ”

Li Qing'an saw that he asked about the military, and he had a bottom in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "My methods may be a little different from Gao Shuai, I will use both soft and hard, win over one faction, and strike at another." ”

Feng Changqing nodded, a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face, and said, "I want to hear it!" ”

"I can boast that the Great Food's understanding of the Transoxiana region is much deeper than that of Gao Shuai, who failed in Tocharian to underestimate the enemy, which he told me when he handed over power, in fact he was not entirely right, it was he who did not understand the Great Food, I traveled to the West when I was a teenager, especially in Arabia, and deeply experienced the profound influence of religion on the Great Cannibals, it can be said that Islam is their life, their spirit, they always believe that Islam should be spread all over the world, so that all people in the world believe in Allah as they do, This is the deep-seated reason for their external expansion, but in the Hezhong region, Tianzhu and Tocharo, they believe in Yuanjiao and Buddhism, and the resistance of religion makes them inevitably strongly resist the eastward expansion of the Great Food. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an saw that Feng Changqing was engrossed in listening, so he deliberately stopped, Feng Changqing was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Please continue to speak." ”

Li Qing'an took a sip of tea and said: "So since the famous general Qu Bodi went on his expedition more than 30 years ago, until the Tianbao period, the Sogdian countries in the river have been asking the Tang Dynasty for help. Or did Gao Shuai think about it? ”

Feng Changqing shook his head slowly, they had never thought about it.

"This is because the Tang Dynasty has never levied taxes on them, nor has it ever interfered in their internal affairs, but the Great Food is different, according to the information I have obtained, the governor of Khorasan, Ubaidullah, has forced Anguo to pay an indemnity of one million dirhams of silver, which is equivalent to five years of Anguo's tax revenue, Qu Dibo also forced Kang Guo to pay two million dirhams of silver at a time, and there are heavy taxes every year, as for Shi Guo and Ning Yuanguo, their treasury has been swept away, such a strong contrast, how can the countries in the river not desire to return to the Tang Dynasty, But because many people in their country have converted to Islam and have a natural tendency to eat food, they are very conflicted and hesitant, both surrendering to Da Shi and longing for the Tang Dynasty to save them, and we must not be black and white like Gao Shuai, but should fight their pro-Da Shi side, and then win over their desire to get out of the control of Da Shi on the other side, this is called winning over a faction, fighting a faction, General Feng understands? ”

Feng Changqing thought so, he nodded and sighed: "In fact, the national policy of my Tang Dynasty is to win over the countries in the river to fight against the Great Food, and for this reason, I also married Princess Heyi to Ning Yuanguo, but the imperial court did not expect that the national strength of the Great Food was so strong, and the focus has been on dealing with Tubo, which led to the complete fall of the Hezhong region, and I deeply agree with the two-handed strategy of the king." ”

Li Qing'an saw that the atmosphere had arrived, so he smiled and said, "Is that general Feng willing to work with me to jointly implement a two-handed strategy to completely drive the Great Food Force out of the river?" ”

Feng Changqing's doubts were gone, he got up and gave Li Qingan a deep salute, and said happily: "Feng Changqing is willing to serve the envoy!" ”

Li Qingan is overjoyed, with Feng Changqing taking care of the logistics for him, he will have no worries about the battle of broken leaves.

．．．．．．．．． Li Qing'an and Feng Changqing made an appointment to return to Beiting together, a tricky matter was finally solved, Li Qing'an's heart was greatly relieved, he saw that the hour was still early, so he took his soldiers to the Central Plains wine shop that he often visited.

There is no change in the wine shop compared with before, the same flags, the same tables and chairs, or the old guys and shopkeepers, the guys see a large group of soldiers coming, infinitely happy, the recent transfer of the Qiuzi army has made their business a lot lighter, it is already rare to have so many soldiers come together, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Guest, you want to drink.... Captain Lee! ”

The guy recognized Li Qing'an at once, he suddenly reacted, and quickly slapped himself, he was really dizzy.

"Li Yuanjun, welcome to the shop, shopkeeper, hurry up!"

Li Qing'an's arrival made the wine shop boil, and the shopkeeper and the guys were old acquaintances with Li Qing'an, and they hugged Li Qing'an to the second floor, which was the old place where they used to drink.

Li Qingan asked the soldiers to sit down casually, and smiled at the shopkeeper and the guys: "It's better to bring wine and vegetables in large bowls according to the old rules." ”

"Li Yuanjun sit down for a while, let's come!"

The guys were busy, the wine and food were delivered like flowing water, Li Qingan poured himself a glass of wine, and the familiar taste flowed into his heart, he remembered the old years, Duan Xiushi, Bai Yuanguang, Xi Yuanqing, and Wu Niang, Li Qingan suddenly remembered Gao Wu's strange thoughts, and his heart couldn't help but feel a kind of gentle nostalgia, and he didn't know where the little lady went? Married?

"Li Yuanjun!"

Someone next to him suddenly interrupted his recollection, and when he turned his head, he saw several Sogdian merchants, who had just seen them drinking on the first floor.

"Is there anything you guys are up to?"

Several Hu people glanced at each other and said, "We want to buy some weapons from the Tang Dynasty to leave the country, I don't know if we can let them go?" ”

Li Qingan's face sank and said: "Weapons are contraband, absolutely not!" ”

"Wait!"

Li Qingan suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to buy weapons?" ”

"I would like to inform General Li that we have just received news that there has been a large-scale rebellion in the Anguo region, and Shi Guo and Kang Guo have also started, and the price of a knife has tripled."

Li Qing'an stood up and the Shiite uprising began!
