How do you know that when Liu Yi first entered the palace, Luoyang had already sent an edict over, and the imperial court took Hongluqing and Shi Xiao, the head of the Dadu Protectorate, as the head of the march of Dingxiangdao, and the right leader of the army General Hua Dazhi, and the right Qianniuwei general Li Jingjia as the deputy commander, with 80,000 soldiers to crusade against the rebellious Turkic departments...

Liu Yi learned the news in the yamen of the Ministry of War, and his name was not included in the edict of the expedition, Liu Yi was extremely frustrated, and he never thought that this time he would return to Chang'an to celebrate the anniversary of his father, and miss another opportunity to go on the expedition.

Liu Yi summed up from the analysis of the leading figures that this is an excellent opportunity to make military contributions.

Regarding the situation of Xiao Siye, who led the army this time, Liu Yi also understands it very clearly, this is a great general who has followed his father Liu Xianli for many years, and it can be said that he is his father's old subordinate.

Xiao Siye is the great-grandson of Emperor Liang Ming, the grandson of Xiao Xun, the king of the South China Sea, the son of Xiao Xuan, who once followed Empress Xiao into the East \ Turks, stayed in the Turkic territory for many years, and returned to China in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Xue Yantuo Dumo Zhi ran south to the barren valley, and led the army to the north of the desert, and the general Li Shiyun sent the general Xiao Siye to comfort, because of Xiao Siye's prestige among the Hu people and the pressure of the army he led, the Lama division surrendered to Xiao Siye.

After Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, and Xiao Siye continued to be reused, still serving in the capital of the north.

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the second year of Xianqing, the Western Turkic Shabaluo Khan Ashina Helu rebelled, and the imperial court raised a large army to crusade against the Western Turks in the north and south, the commander of the north road was Su Dingfang, and the south road was led by the two Turkic generals who were attached, the right guard general Ashina Mi Shot and the left Tunwei general Ashina Buzhen. In this battle, Xiao Siye was under the command of Su Dingfang, who was the chief of the Yilie Dao march.

After the Tang army arrived in the northwest, Su Dingfang led the army to fight with the Turkic army, and defeated the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops led by the Shabaluo Khan Ashina Helu with weak troops. Su Dingfang ordered Xiao Siye to lead his troops to continue the pursuit. Ashina Helu fled to Shiguo, where he was captured and handed over to the Tang army led by Xiao Siye, and since then, the Western Turkic Khanate has fallen.

In the sixth year of Xianqing, the imperial court sent the chief of the march of Liaodong Province (originally the Hunjiang River), the chief of the march of Liaodong Province (at the beginning of the Hunjiang River), the chief of the march of the Hunjiang Province Ren Yaxiang, the head of the march of the Buyeo Road Xiao Siye, the head of the march of the Fangdao Road Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the march of the Wofu Road Pang Xiaotai and the head of the march of the Hanzi Road Liu Demin to lead more than 100,000 troops to cross the Liaoshui, and the Pyongyang Province (originally Liaodong) march chief Su Dingfang, the Pyongyang Province (later changed) governor Liu Boying, plus the Silla coalition army, from the north and south of Baekje's hometown to attack Goryeo.

Xiao Siye, who has fought many times and made great achievements, finally has the opportunity to lead the army alone.

In the middle of the war against Goryeo, the Hui chieftain who had been facing the Tang Dynasty fell ill and died, and his son Bili succeeded to the position of governor of Hanhai. After Bili succeeded to the throne, he united with Tongluo and Fugu to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army was forced to draw a part of the troops from the Goryeo front line to attack to the northwest to quell the rebellion of the Hui people. As a result, the troops of Qibi He Li and Xiao Siye, who were more familiar with the situation in the Anbei area, returned from the Goryeo front and marched to the northwest to fight the Hui rebels on the Mobei Plateau.

With the rebellion of the Hui people, the Turks in the northwest are also ready to move, there are many tribal rebellions, the main one is some Tiele Department, after the military report was sent to Chang'an, the imperial court immediately issued an edict to form the Tiele Road marching department, with Zuo Wuwei general Zheng Rentai as the general of the Tiele Road march, at that time just arrived, Liu Yi's father Liu Xianli, the general of the left Wuwei Xue Rengui as the deputy general of the Tiele Road march, led the troops to crusade against the rebellion of Hui and Tiele.

In this battle, Xiao Siye was led as the head of the Xiancao Road march as Hongluqing, and Sun Renshi, the general of the Right Tun Guard, was the deputy, under the command of Liu Xianli.

The counterinsurgency operation of dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops was finally victorious, and the Hui and Tiele, Tongluo, and the servants finally obediently obeyed the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Rengui killed three Tiele heads with three arrows, forcing tens of thousands of Tiele people to dismount and surrender, achieving a song of "three arrows to determine the Tianshan Mountain". Liu Yi's father Liu Xianli and Xiao Siye have made great contributions in this battle, Liu Xianli because of his outstanding military exploits and high prestige among the Hu people, still led Yanran Du, the general leader of Anbei's military affairs, and served in the land of Anbei for more than ten years, after the Yanming Metropolitan Protectorate was changed to Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Anbei Metropolitan Protector, he has been leading the capital and Dadu Protector, and has made immortal contributions to the stability of the northern Tang Dynasty, and has been rewarded by the imperial court many times.

As Xiao Siye, a subordinate of Liu Xianli, he was also promoted because of his military exploits and received the title of Governor of Anbei Metropolitan Protector with the rank of three ranks.

This time, when Liu Xianli went to Anbei to serve as the protector of Yanran, Liu Yi's mother was just pregnant, and when my Tang army won a major victory, Liu Yi happened to be born.

Later, Liu Xianli was transferred back to Beijing for merit and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Siye temporarily led the affairs of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate as a long history, and then the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate was downgraded to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and then changed to Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate, Xiao Siye was transferred to Shan Yu Metropolitan Protector Governor, and still guarded the frontier. It can be said that when Liu Xianli was appointed as the protector of Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate, and when Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate was renamed Anbei Metropolitan Protector Liu Xianli was still the protector of the capital, Xiao Siye had always been Liu Xianli's subordinate, and his official rank was promoted because of Liu Xianli's appreciation.

Now because it is the prime minister Li Lun who is also the protector of Shan Yudu, and does not go to the post, Xiao Siye, who is the president of the historical position, is actually the number one person in the Shan Yu Protectorate, and he is the chief leader of all the affairs in the Shan Yu Protectorate Mansion as a long history, and the title of the third product is a great history of the feudal territory with great power.

Xiao Siye is strong in martial arts, courageous, and has always been known for his courage and good fighting in the army, and he is deeply respected by Liu Xianli, and Xiao Siye is also very grateful to Liu Xianli, Liu Yi thought that if he could fight with his father's old subordinates this time, it was likely that he would have a chance to show his level. Liu Yi guessed that if this townside general, who was very familiar with Anbei affairs, led the army, the victory would be captured, but it was a pity that he missed the opportunity.

Liu Yi also understood that this rebellion in the north may be due to the rebellion of the Turkic tribes in the northwest, and the Turks in Anbei are also ready to move, when this news is inconvenient, the Turks in the north may not know that the rebellion in the northwest has been quelled by Pei Xingjian, if they know that the Turkic rebellion in the northwest was put down so easily, these Turks in the north may not have the courage to follow the rebellion.

It's a pity, why do you always miss opportunities?

It's just that what Liu Yi didn't expect was that he couldn't go on the expedition this time, which allowed him to avoid a disaster...
