In the Wucheng Palace, there were a full of important ministers in the court, Liu Yi took a rough look, most of the important ministers who followed the royal car to Luoyang were present, and among the important ministers present, their own level should be the lowest.

Emperor Li Zhi had a strip of cloth tied on his head, probably because of a head disease, and he would feel more comfortable wearing this strip of cloth.

After Li Zhi summoned all the courtiers arrived, he read out the urgent military reports sent from Wonju, Gyeongju and Shan Yu Protectorate with a cough, and after announcing these emergencies in anger, Li Zhi held the throne in his hand and asked the ministers in a loud voice: "The rebellion of the Turkic Ashide and the Ashina Nishu tribe has just been quelled for half a year, and the rebellion of the Turkic remnants in Anbei has risen again, you say, how should the imperial court respond..."

Liu Yi only knew the situation of the Turkic rebellion when Li Zhi announced the emergency military briefing, and when he heard this, Liu Yi felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, which was exactly the result of the last expedition to Anbei, when our army achieved a major victory, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, annihilated the remnants of the Turks, and at the same time intimidated other tribes. Those tribes in the northern part of the desert, seeing that our army immediately took up the army after achieving such a major victory, must have guessed that our army could not stay in the desert for a long time, so they dared to openly rebel again in such a short period of time, no wonder Emperor Li Zhi would be furious, regardless of Wu Zetian's advice, to preside over the affairs of the court with illness.

Liu Yi knows where the two places of Qingzhou and Yuanzhou are, these two states are only hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, the capital division of the Tang Dynasty, and they can reach Chang'an in three or four days, and these two states are nearly a thousand miles away from Lingzhou, Fengzhou, and Liangzhou, which are counted as border passes in people's concepts, that is to say, these two states are nearly a thousand miles south of these border cities recognized by most people, and the Turkic cavalry can gallop thousands of miles so easily, driving straight into the hinterland of my Tang Dynasty, and come and go freely. This is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of the Tang Emperor, think about the time when Pei Xingjian led the Dingxiangdao army, what a festive atmosphere in the court, almost most people think that the northern Xinjiang can be stable for at least a few years, or even more than ten years, decades, I didn't expect the Turkic rebellion to occur in less than a year, and the momentum is even stronger, even the hinterland of my Tang Dynasty, Yuan, Qing and the two states were invaded by it.

As soon as Li Zhi's words of inquiry were finished, Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to stand up and play: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, and the minister feel that we should send another army into Anbei to quell the rebellion of the Turks, and we must not appease and annihilate it!"

Liu Yi saw Pei Xingjian's side face, he also saw a trace of anger on his master's face, and some other special looks, Liu Yi also understood that Pei Xingjian must also blame himself and anger for not firmly implementing the effective strategy he had formulated against the Turks, causing the Turkic rebellion to occur again, and there was some helplessness.

Such a result fundamentally shows that the decision of the imperial court to order the army to be divided was very wrong, the Turkic rebellion occurred again, and its men and horses crossed the line of the Great Wall, and drove into the south of the Hetao, threatening the safety of the Beijing division, such a situation happened, and the Turkic rebellion was not completely quelled at the beginning, the Turkic cavalry was able to attack the area of Gyeongju and Yuanzhou, and it happened shortly after our Tang army had just quelled the rebellion of its subordinates, which should be a shame for every Tang courtier. Especially the shame of a military general like Pei Xingjian who is proud of his military exploits.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Cen Changqian, who had just been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Guarding, immediately stood up and supported Pei Xingjian's decision.

After Cen Changqian came out to salute, he said: "The Turkic cavalry can invade the area of Yuanzhou and Gyeongju, which shows to a certain extent that the defense of our Tang army in this area is still very weak, which also gives the Tubo people a signal, it is possible that they will gather a large army to attack the area from our Heyuan to Songzhou while the Turks rebel, so the minister believes that it is necessary to quickly send a large army to Anbei to quell the rebellion of the Turks with thunder, and at the same time mobilize troops to strictly prevent the Tubo people from taking the opportunity to invade the border..."

Cen Changqian had just returned from Shanzhou, and he was very familiar with the situation in that area, and it would not be alarmist to say such worries from his mouth, and even Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

It seems that the war is inevitable, Liu Yi never thought that it was only half a year after the last war, and the next war would come so soon, Liu Yi was also thinking, if there were wars in Anbei and Qinghai, he should ask for orders to go on which side.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Zuo Shuzi, Zhang Da'an, the third rank of the door in the book, came out and played: "The rebellion of the Turks cannot be tolerated no matter what, and the minister believes that a large army should be sent to suppress it quickly, otherwise the rebellions will rise one after another!"

Hearing that several important ministers of the DPRK and the central government had already stood up to support the expedition to quell the rebellion, Liu Yi also stood up immediately after Zhang Da'an retreated: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister also feels that he must send a large army into Anbei to quell the rebellion, and the minister is willing to lead the army to the expedition..."

"Chen thinks that after the last time the army destroyed the Turks, the number of remnants of the Ashdwin Fu Department must not be very large, and the number of Ashina Funian who is united with it is only seventy or eighty thousand, the last rebellion of nearly 300,000 Turks was quelled by my Dingxiangdao army effortlessly, this time the number is even smaller, and the rebellion of the tribes that responded is not much, when our army advances, it may fall apart, and the Turks dare to rebel against my Tang Dynasty again, that is, to use our army to just start a division, It is not necessary to gather a large army to attack again, and those who dare to play with fire like this, if our army enters again, then some other tribes that are wavering will definitely attach themselves to our Tang Dynasty, and they will not dare to unite with the Turkic rebels..."

Liu Yi paused for a moment and continued: "The minister thinks that it is not difficult to quell the rebellion of the Turks, and more importantly, how to prevent the Turks from rebelling again, this rebellion again and again is a very big threat to the border passes of our Tang Dynasty. After the victory of the Great Army, my Datang strengthened the governance of the land of Beihu, and sent troops to build and defend the city at a certain distance, and as soon as there was a stir, it could quickly respond and eliminate the rebellion of the Hu people in the bud, and after the strength of our Datang was strengthened, the policy of sinicization was gradually implemented, and finally the vast areas of Anxi and Anbei were placed under the firm rule of our Datang..."

Liu Yi now feels that this Turkic rebellion is not a bad thing, it can be said that it came at the right time, so many proposals he put forward last time, just conducted a court meeting, because of Li Zhi's physical reasons, the second court meeting has not yet begun, just happened again Turkic rebellion, Turkic light cavalry attacked my Yuanzhou, Gyeongju area, that is to say, only military conquest based means can not completely quell the Turkic rebellion, must be supplemented by other means, And the means of dealing with the Turks that I mentioned can effectively deal with the Turks, and to a large extent strengthen the monitoring of the tribes of Anbei and Anxi, in these places, if there is a garrison of our Tang army, which can quickly respond to the movements of the Turks or other tribes, then even if there is a rebellion, the scale cannot be very large, and the soldiers in our castles that can echo each other will definitely be able to give an effective blow to the rebels.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Pei Xingjian also immediately stood up, "The threat of the Turks cannot be underestimated, according to the minister's understanding, in the area of Guangxiazhou, since the first year of Tiaolu, there are nearly 200,000 war horses plundered by the Turks, what a huge number, my Tang Dynasty has lost the horse grazing land in the Qinghai area, and the horse grazing land in the Hetao area is threatened by the Turks, if these places can no longer safely graze war horses, in a few years, our Tang army will not be able to guarantee a sufficient supply of war horses, so the minister feels that it is necessary to give a rapid military strike to the tribes of Beihu, To protect our herding land from its intrusion, and to use effective auxiliary means to strengthen the governance of people's livelihood after the military strike, and General Liu's proposal is the most effective means we can take at present..."

In the report sent by the governor of Xia Prefecture two days ago, he reported to the imperial court that the number of war horses plundered by the Turks in the past two years was 180,000, and this number shocked everyone.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister is against it!" The Huangmen Shilang and the three products under the Tongzhongshu Sect Pei Yan stood up and expressed their dissent.

When the court almost unanimously supported the dispatch of troops, this newly promoted important minister stood up against the dispatch of troops, which still surprised many people.

I only heard Pei Yan say in his somewhat sharp tone: "After the last counterinsurgency operation, most of the Turks were annihilated or captured, and only some Turkic remnants remained in Mobei, and these Turkic remnants only had a chance for them to jump for a while when our army was divided and the army left behind was flawless, and have a certain experience in siege, if our army conquers Anbei again, it is very likely that the Tubo people will be in the source of the Kouren River and Qinghai again... Therefore, the minister felt that the imperial court only needed to make the border armies of the states prepare for defense, and then order the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the capital to enter the Yinshan area to quell the rebellion... If I gather a large army to go out again, the cost of military needs will be very great, and the years of conquest will cost countless sums of money, and if this continues, it will inevitably increase the burden on the people and lead to resentment among the people..."

When Pei Yan was gushing about his opposition to the conquest for reasons that he could not obey, Liu Yi looked at Li Zhi on the throne and turned sideways and whispered to Wu Zetian, who was sitting behind the curtain.

After Pei Yan finished speaking, Liu Yi was about to come up and refute, but Li Zhi on the throne waved his hand to the ministers, "Zhong Aiqing, today's court discussion is over, after Zhu Aiqing goes back and thinks about it, we will discuss this matter in two days..."
