In the Wucheng Hall of Luoyang Palace, the ministers who were urgently summoned stood full, all the ministers already knew the battle report from the army in front of them a few days ago, our army won several battles in succession, almost everyone was overjoyed in their hearts, and now the emperor was urgently summoned, and many ministers also heard the news, and there was news of our army's victory in front.

Before the emperor arrived in the palace, the ministers in the palace were all inquiring about each other's news, and Weng Weng whispered endlessly.

Our army was victorious, and the emperor urgently summoned the matter, and many ministers were speculating that they were going to inquire about the next countermeasures against the Turks.

The emperor and the empress walked into the hall quickly, and the ministers in the palace stopped their private conversations, and stood upright, waiting for the emperor to announce the matter.

Li Zhi did not sit on the throne, but stood up, waving several military reports in his hand, and announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received the military report from the front, following the annihilation of Ashid's service department by our army, our army has won successive victories, Ashina mud and Ashdwin Fu have been annihilated by our army of Dingxiangdao one after another, and the pseudo-khan Ashina Ni Shushu who was supported by the Turks was killed by his men, and the rest of the army surrendered, Ashdwin Fu knew in advance that our army would attack the camp, and he led more than 20,000 people to flee in a hurry, but under the pursuit of our army, In the end, he only led a few thousand people and fled into the desert, and the rest of the troops surrendered..."

"The three major tribes of the Turkic rebellion, hundreds of thousands of people, were all annihilated by the Dingxiangdao army led by my Pei Da Governor in just a few days, hahaha..."

As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, Liu Renliang, who had just been the oldest in the court and was also summoned to Luoyang by the emperor this time, stood up at an incredible speed, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's wise decision, General Pei has a good plan, and the soldiers in front are brave enough to kill the enemy!" His Majesty insisted on sending a large army to the expedition before the year, which was really a surprise to the Turks, and it was not surprising that our army attacked the Turks' camp at night when the Turks were unprepared, and the Turks were unprepared and were defeated in an instant... Governor Pei is in charge of the army in a good way, and the tactics formulated are very thorough, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should give Governor Pei a heavy reward!"

For this campaign, the ministers had mixed opinions during the court discussion, and most of the courtiers were against going out in the winter, they thought that the cold winter in the land of Anbei was cold and snowy, which was very unfavorable to the march and combat of our army, and the Turks who had been living in that area were familiar with the terrain and adapted to the environment, and our army had to travel thousands of miles to enter the land of Anbei and fight against the Turks who were waiting for work, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage, and it was possible to repeat the mistakes of Xiao Siye, in that case, not to mention quelling the rebellion of the TurksIt is dangerous that rebellions will break out one after another in other places, and the whole country will fall into a state of instability.

However, Pei Xingjian, who was appointed as the commander of the army, insisted on going out in the cold winter, saying that the Turks would never have imagined that our army would go out in this season that was very unfavorable to our army's fighting, so that although our army had a difficult journey, it would also surprise the Turks, so that they could attack by surprise, and even annihilate all the Turkic rebels with one blow.

At that time, it was Liu Renliang who strongly supported Pei Xingjian's opinion, and it was the strong support of Liu Renliang, a general with outstanding military achievements, and the trust of Emperor Li Zhi in Pei Xingjian, that the army finally set out a year ago.

Now Pei Xingjian has proved to everyone the correct surname he proposed with more outstanding results than anyone expected, it is precisely when the Turks are defenseless, our army of several roads has comprehensively advanced from several directions, and finally succeeded in annihilating the Turkic rebels, and the critical situation in the Anbei area has been completely lifted, and under the pressure of our army, other tribes who are ready to move must not dare to make another attempt.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and should give a heavy reward to Chief Pei!" Zhongshu ordered Li Yiyan to immediately come out and play.

Then several important ministers also stood up and said that they must give Pei Xingjian, who led the army, a heavy reward.

Li Zhi waved his hand, signaling the ministers not to say these things first, he continued: "The rebellion of the Turks has basically subsided, and the general manager of Pei has also sent a follow-up arrangement plan, planning to send various armies across the desert, to Mobei, to coerce the heads of various tribes in Mobei, to come to Monan to discuss matters, what do you think, what do you think, what is this plan?" ”

Wei Xuan, the servant of the ministry, immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general Pei is in charge of this plan, the rebellion of the Turks has been basically quelled, and the thousands of fleeing Ashdwin Fu are not afraid, but the situation in that area will still take some time to settle down, and the minister feels that the weather in Anbei has just improved, and it is the most suitable time to use troops, and hundreds of thousands of people in our army are gathered on the south side of the desert, and we should take advantage of this time to send a large army to threaten the various departments in Anbei, Let those wavering tribes rejoin my Datang, and the general manager of Pei sent a large army to Mobei to make the heads of the tribes come to discuss the matter, which is the best strategy for the tribes to return to my Datang!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Wei Yuanzhong, a member of the Zhongshu House, also stood up and spoke, "The tribes in the Anbei area rebelled from time to time, and the minister felt that he must use thunder means to take advantage of the unprecedented victory of my army, and at the same time, use the military might of my Tang Dynasty to subdue the tribes!" Mr. Pei's plan is very feasible!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a different opinion!" Hao Chujun in the servant came out and said, "My army has won a great victory, the rebellious Turkic tribes have been annihilated, and the tribes of Monan and Mobei will not dare to make trouble again, and the minister feels that His Majesty can issue an edict to order the heads of the tribes to come to Chang'an to worship, and give them His Majesty's grace, and bring my army to the prestige of the army, and the leaders of the tribes must not dare not come, coupled with His Majesty's grace, the minister feels that there is no need to send a large army into Mobei to achieve this effect." If my tens of thousands of troops enter Mobei, although we can coerce the tribes to annex it, it may be secretly resisted by the tribes, and finally plant the seeds of rebellion against our army.

Yu Zhijun swallowed his saliva and continued: "Moreover, now that the Tubo army in the west is pressing the border, and many of my border states are in an emergency, the minister feels that the army in Anbei must be withdrawn as soon as possible, otherwise the Tubo people will really attack my border state, and it will be a disaster!"

Although the Tibetan mission is still in Chang'an due to our reasons, the Tubo people still know about my hundreds of thousands of troops to go to Anbei, and there are signs of army mobilization on the front line from Songzhou to Qinghai in the west, preparing to attack our border state, most of my elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have gone out with Pei Xingjian to attack Anbei, the situation on the western front is very critical, although the imperial court has ordered to recruit sergeants and go to the border states in the area of Songzhou to Qinghai to resist the possible attack of the Tubo people, but our army has not returned in Anbei for a long time, In addition, if my Datang rejected Tubo's request for peace and detained its mission in disguise, the Tubo people would still risk attacking our border state, which was a troublesome matter.

Hearing what Pardon Chu Jun said, Wei Xuantong and Wei Yuanzhong, who had just expressed their support for Pei Xingjian's plan, did not dare to stand up and insist on what they had seen, and Li Yiyan also stood up to support Pardon Chu Jun's statement, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, the rebellion in the north has been quelled, and the situation in the west is tense, our army should be divided as soon as possible to deal with the possible attack of the Tubo people!"

Then Xue Yuanchao and other important ministers stood up and suggested that the emperor order the army of Dingxiangdao to withdraw and return to the dynasty earlier.

Li Zhi, whose face was full of joy just now, looked a little unnatural.

At the previous court meeting, the ministers had argued many times about how to deal with the possible attack of the Tibetans, and some ministers had long suggested that troops should be drawn from Anbei to deal with the threat of the Tibetans, and some ministers even accused the soldiers who went to Anbei this time to be too numerous to be unable to deal with the threat of Tibet, but at the insistence of Li Zhi, they still did not draw troops from Anbei to help.

Seeing that the number of important ministers who supported the army to return to the dynasty as soon as possible accounted for the majority, Li Zhi, who originally wholeheartedly supported Pei Xingjian's plan, also hesitated, and in his previous discussion and analysis with Liu Renliang, he believed that our side in the west could rely on the strong border city guards, and even if the Tubo people sent troops to attack, it would be difficult to do anything, and they all thought that the Tubo people were bluffing and not afraid. But now many important ministers are opposed, and Liu Renliang has not even stood up to express his opinion, which makes Li Zhi unable to make up his mind.

"Wait for me to discuss it with the queen mother, and then make a decision," There is not much support from the ministers, coupled with Wu Zetian's previous opinion, Li Zhi is a little stupid, so he has to announce that the ministers are dispersed, and wait for the latest situation in front of him to discuss later-

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian returned to the Xianju Palace, and as soon as they entered the hall, Wu Zetian hurriedly said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the concubines still think that the army of Anbei should return to the court as soon as possible!" The 300,000 horses and horses in the Anbei area are all elite divisions that have been in war for a long time, and if they have been living in Anbei for a long time, it must be very inappropriate, and the threat of the Tubo people in the west and Qinghai has to be guarded against..."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian in a daze for a while, a little depressed, how did he not know Wu Zetian's thoughts, just not to break it, this beloved woman has asked for an edict several times after the good news came back, and now the courtiers are also asking for the army to be classified, and now they have to give in, "Since the queen also thinks that the threat of the Tubo people in the northwest has to be guarded against, and I also agree to the army division of Dingxiangdao, then draw up another edict, except for one town to guard Anbei, most of the army is divided!" At the same time, it was passed to Cui Zhiyi, the head of the household department, who had already set out, and Pei Xingjian of Anbei, so that the army was ready to be a class teacher!"

In the emperor convened the ministers to discuss the military situation, the imperial court issued an edict, because I Dingxiangdao army in the quelling of the Turkic rebellion, has achieved a decisive victory, so Pei Xingjian led the army of soldiers and soldiers, leaving only the left Jin Wuwei general Cao Huaishun, the right Wuwei general Cui Xiantun led a garrison in Tun'an Beidan Yudu Hufu, to defend against the Turkic rebellion again, the military affairs were handed over to the imperial court to pacify the household department Shangshu Cui Zhiyi in charge, and by Li Zhishi, Quan Xiancheng and other generals led a first, galloping to the Qinghai area...
