"Pei Aiqing, no matter how many requests you make, I will allow it!" Li Zhi's words once again surprised everyone in the hall, and even Wu Zetian behind the curtain was very anxious, in case Pei Xingjian made any very excessive requests, and the court could not meet them, how could it be?

Facing the surprise of the ministers in the court, Pei Xingjian said with an unchanged expression: "Your Majesty, the minister's first request is that the minister must take charge of the military affairs of Anbei, whether it is the army sent before or the army that goes out with the minister, he must obey the command of the minister, act according to the plan formulated by the minister, and no one else shall interfere!"

Commanders like Pei Xingjian, who like to attack the enemy by surprise, formulate tactics that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, when they lead the army to go out, what they are most afraid of is the interference of the rear court, if some courtiers point fingers at the battle plan sent back, and the emperor listened to what they said, and sent an edict to instruct something, it is a very headache, although it is said that the general will be outside, the king's order is not affected, but the risk of getting permission in advance is much smaller than the risk of resisting the order on the battlefield.

"I'm sorry!" Li Zhi didn't hesitate, that is, he nodded in agreement, "I don't allow anyone to interfere with Pei Aiqing's command of the war in Anbei!"

"Second, the minister wants Cheng to be the minister's deputy!" The emperor agreed to his first request, and Pei Xingjian immediately made a second request.

Cheng Wuting is the son of the famous general Cheng Mingzhen, and he is also a person that Pei Xingjian appreciates very much. Cheng Mingzhen has been reused by Li Shimin since Zhenguan, has experienced countless wars, and has made countless military exploits, Cheng Wuting has performed very well since he was young, and when he followed Cheng Mingzhen to go on the expedition, he showed great courage, and made a lot of large and small military exploits. In the past few years, he entered Pei Xingjian's door, was given the art of war, and now he is appointed as the governor of Fengzhou, and his position is not high, only the post of the fourth grade.

It stands to reason that tens of thousands of troops are on the march, and a general of this level cannot become the deputy general of the commander, and the appeal of such a general is still not enough.

None of the other ministers in the court came out to speak in the dialogue between Pei Xingjian and Li Zhi, but there were still many people who were puzzled and dissatisfied with Pei Xingjian's trust, but no one dared to stand up and express dissent, Pei Xingjian put forward a second request, many people instinctively hoped that the emperor could refuse him, or that the queen behind the curtain could express a different opinion, but this possibility is very small, the first one is so excessive that Huang Yanjing allowed, and the second slightly inferior request The emperor will definitely agree.

The situation was not unexpected, Li Zhi still didn't have any consideration, and immediately agreed: "I maybe!"

Pei Xingjian said that he wanted to make three requests, and he had already said two, and everyone was guessing what his third request would be!

"Your Majesty, the third request of the minister is to ask Your Majesty to allow Liu Yi to be the forward under the account of the minister!" Pei Xingjian said quickly, and when he finished speaking, he gave Liu Yitou, who had been watching him, a knowing look.

Pei Xingjian's third request is not excessive, but it is very unexpected, not only Emperor Li Zhi was surprised, even Wu Zetian behind the curtain did not think of it at all, and other courtiers could not imagine that Pei Xingjian, a famous general who has experienced many wars, would want a young military general who has never been on the battlefield to be his striker.

If Pei Xingjian's first request is a bit excessive, but it is not too surprising, the second and third requirements are what no one thought of, Cheng Wuting and Liu Yi are both generals with low positions, especially Liu Yi has not been on the battlefield, such a large-scale campaign, originally could only be a general under the sub-general manager, not enough to be the deputy general and striker of the commander, Pei Xingjian's actions are very unexpected!

Only Liu Yi, who was standing in the face of the courtiers in the palace, was not very surprised, he only had surprises, before Pei Xingjian made the request, he already had such an idea, as soon as Pei Xingjian put it forward, he had a feeling of ecstasy, this time Pei Xingjian went on the expedition, and he was sure to go on the expedition.

Li Zhi has agreed just now, no matter what Pei Xingjian asks, he will meet it, Emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, with Liu Yi's thoughts, Pei Xingjian's request is not excessive, and there is no reason to refuse.

Liu Yi didn't see Shangguan Wan'er hiding outside the hall on the side of the hall, her face was already pale, a little unsteady on her feet, and she was shaky, what Pei Xingjian said just now was a bolt from the blue for her.

Shangguan Wan'er also knew that Pei Xingjian would definitely not refuse such a request when he was in the palace, and the queen also hoped that Liu Yi would go on the expedition and make military achievements, and the two saints would not object, and the palace agreed, no matter who asked, it would not change the result of Liu Yi's expedition with Pei Xingjian.

The army is still going to Mobei, no one knows how long it will take, and no one can predict the outcome of the war, plus our army has already been defeated in the front, in case of repeated mistakes, Liu Yi has some accidents, so how is it good?

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Emperor Li Zhi sitting on the throne, and very much hoped that the emperor would refuse Pei Xingjian's request.

But to Shangguan Wan'er's disappointment, the emperor did not refuse Pei Xingjian's request.

"I'm okay too!" Li Zhi seemed to be relieved, and agreed to Pei Xingjian's third request in a very loud tone.

Indeed, Pei Xingjian's third request, Liu Yi, who had never experienced the war, was still very unexpected to him. Although Liu Yi is brave, his father Liu Xianli is also a veteran of many years on the battlefield, but Liu Yi is young and has no actual combat experience, Pei Xingjian is so sure that Liu Yi can lead the troops to fight?

Li Zhi has always given great use to the people recommended by Pei Xingjian, and the people cited by Pei Xingjian also used their actual ability to prove that Pei Xingjian's vision is indeed unique, Li Zhi has no reason to refuse, and Liu Yi, a person who performs very well in all aspects, really needs to be honed in the army and add color to it with military merits.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to his request without any hesitation, Pei Xingjian was also a little moved in his heart, and when he stepped forward next, he respectfully bowed, "Thank you for your trust, the minister will definitely live up to his mission, lead the army to quell the rebellion of the northern Turks, and return me to the peace of the northern Tang Dynasty!"

Li Zhi's expression had calmed down, his face was full of smiles, and he said in a very beautiful voice, "Okay, when Pei Aiqing quells the Northern Turkic rebellion, I will definitely go out of the city to greet him in person, and give Aiqing a higher reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Xingjian also responded with a loud voice...
