"This time, I will mobilize 80,000 troops, how many troops will the Tubo people move?"

"According to the informant, the Qinling has gathered 300,000 tribal cavalry."

Outside the Danfeng Gate, Li Xuan and Lai Sui rode side by side.

The sky was still dark, but the outside of Danfeng Gate was already crowded with countless officials.

Looking at the dynasty today, countless officials arrived, and it would take a while to see the time, so Li Xuan asked about the news about the movement of Tibet.

"300,000 tribal cavalry, it's an imaginary number, but it's not a lot." Li Xuan nodded slightly, the Tubo people are similar to the Turks, especially in the land of Tuguhun, they can recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers with one easy move; In the first battle of Dafeichuan that year, the Tubo people mobilized 400,000 cavalry, while the Tang Dynasty only used 100,000 soldiers, which is similar.

However, although the Tang army of Dafei Sichuan was defeated, Tubo also won a heavy victory, and the number of casualties was at least twice that of Datang.

However, just as there were a large number of servant troops in the Tang army, there were also a large number of servant troops in the Tubo army.

In fact, the most casualties are still such servant troops.

"The Tibetan people are not good at defending the city, but the plateau is vast, and their people are roaring and roaring away, once they occupy the favorable terrain, our army will be extremely troublesome." Laisui sighed lightly, the topography of the plateau is too unfavorable for Datang.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then he couldn't help but glance up at the palace gate, and then said softly: "Brother Lai, for some reason, although I already know a lot, there is always a feeling that the foolish brother is being used. ”

Lai Sui looked surprised: "And?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan lowered his voice and said: "It seems that the affairs of the British King are only aimed at Tubo, but if someone has a way to collude, I am afraid that the entire Tubo army will be shaken on all fronts." ”

Tubo came from the fifth brother of Qinling, Blunzan, and personally led 3,000 elite cavalry, ready to raid Lintao.

But if all these 3,000 people were lost in Lintao, and some people even tried to make a fuss with the Brenzan blade, then the entire front of Tubo would be shaken.

Using Li Xian as bait to seduce the three thousand elite cavalry of Tubo was a good deal, but it definitely didn't make much money.

But if someone tries to calculate the entire Tibetan army with deeper calculations, then they will make a lot of money.

But it also means that the danger of Li Xuan and Li Xian will increase exponentially.

Now he doesn't even know about the 3,000 cavalry of Tubo, so where can he see a deeper calculation.

He frowned, shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't understand." ”

"Actually, I don't know, I always feel that there is something strange somewhere." Li Xuan turned his mouth and asked in a low voice, "How are things going on over there?" ”

Before coming to Sui, he was ordered to inspect the grain depots and military depots of Lanzhou, Shanzhou, Taozhou, Hezhou, Shanzhou, Fangzhou, Diezhou, and Kuozhou, but before the Great Dynasty Meeting, he suddenly rushed back, and this is why Li Xuan encountered him today.

"Not so good." Lai Sui shook his head slightly, then turned his head to look at Li Xuan, frowned, and said, "Twenty-seven Lang, why do you feel that you are a little different from before?" ”

"Is there one?" Li Xuan was taken aback, he had tried his best to cover it up, how could it be obvious, and after collecting his thoughts, Li Xuan said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I went to Taiqing Palace and met my teacher, who taught me some things, and my cultivation was slightly advanced. ”

"Yes!" Lai Sui looked at Li Xuan in surprise, shook his head and sighed: "If I knew this, I should have gone to the Daomen to practice." ”

"How can it be so easy, even if it is me, what I practice is not the inheritance method of Qingyang Palace, and even some things cannot be touched at all, that is, this set of exercises is more suitable for me now, so I can make progress." Li Xuan glanced at him angrily, he was really confused!

Suddenly, Li Xuan slapped his forehead and said, "I was diverted by your kid." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the palace gate is about to open, you can hurry up and go to work." Lai Sui hurriedly pushed Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his head a little helplessly, there was no way, he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force him to say it.

Li Xuan is from the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple on the fourth grade, and his position is far before he came to Sui.

Wailang, a member of the military department, didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Hanyuan Palace.

……

When the hour came, the palace door opened.

A group of civil and military officials lined up in four rows, and at the same time walked towards the Hanyuan Palace.

Officials above the fifth grade entered the Hanyuan Palace, and officials below the fifth grade stood solemnly outside the hall.

Li Xuan's position is at the back, on the left is Yang Shan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and then outside, it is Liu Boying, the secretary of Honglu Temple.

Behind him was empty, which was originally the position of the secretary and young eunuch Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan is now demoted from Chang'an, and his position is empty until the new secretary and young eunuch take office.

A little to the left, is the secretary and young eunuch Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen's side is the secretary and supervisor Wu Chenghei.

Although Wu Chengji stood there, his body leaned to the left from time to time.

Just a few days ago, the secretary and supervisor Wu Chengji was scolded with a rod for angering the queen of heaven, and the skin was opened.

But seeing that he can still stand here today, I know that it should be a false fight.

The two lives of the Leng family framed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and such a crime was only exchanged for a false beating of fifty rods, how unfair it was.

However, neither Li Xuan nor Pei Yan were in the slightest hurry.

Wu Chengsi is the only clansman of the Queen of Heaven in the court, and his cousin Wu Sansi is still far away in Guiqian.

Zhou Guogong, naturally, it is more valuable.

The point is that by doing so, they have shaken Wu Chenghe's trust in the heart of the Queen of Heaven.

For Li Xuan, this is even more so.

Don't worry, step by step, find a way to demote him from Chang'an in the past two years, and let him die of illness in another state in two years.

And with Pei Yan in the way, Li Xuan didn't have to directly accept the anger of the Empress Wu at all.

In the main hall, Honglu Temple, the secretary and superintendent, will be the superintendent, and the departments will be backwards.

Front, Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu, Officials, Households, Soldiers, Works, Criminals, and Rites.

Three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, all officials above the fifth grade are here.

On the other side of the main hall, the military attaché shift.

Left and right guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right military guards, left and right Wei Wei, left and right leading guards, left and right Jinwu guards, left and right prison guards, left and right Qianniu guards.

The sixteen generals, generals, and lieutenant generals, all of whom can come today.

Leaving aside the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards who did not command the troops, the remaining twelve guards commanded 637 Zhichong Mansions in the Tang Dynasty, with a total of more than 600,000 government soldiers.

The whole world is in this hall.

……

Li Zhigao sat on the throne, behind him was the curtained queen Wu, on the side of the steps, stood the crown prince Li Xian, under the steps, not within the third class, standing King Li Xian and King Li Dan......

"The ministers visit our emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

In the main hall, all the ministers bowed together.

"Excuse me." Li Zhi's expression was solemn, and when he saw the ministers get up and return to their shifts, he looked at Wang Fulai on the side.

Wang Fulai bowed slightly, then stepped forward, opened the holy decree in his hand, and then read aloud: "In the third year of Wei Shangyuan, the age of Bingzi, if the emperor says:

The coma is reversed, heaven and earth are punished, Rong Di is chaotic, and the emperor is so martial.

The Tibetan clown, who has been making mistakes all year round, has ruined my town, captured my border people, and has been deeply resentful.

Today, the southern army is riding, and ten thousand crossbows are fired together; Shanxi flying generals, a hundred ways to be the first, the period of sweeping, in the sundial carving.

However, rewards and punishments must be believed, punishments and persuasions are in place, orders are not clear, what hope is there for loyalty and bravery? If you avoid arniving to the enemy, you will be punished; If Kejun captures the murderer, he must hang his military qualifications.

Its Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Jiannan and other prefectures, below the assassin history soldiers, there are those who can win the Tubo Zanpu, and the king with a different surname; Those who have won the great general will be awarded the great general; Those who are awarded below the rank of general will be awarded the rank of general and lieutenant general. There is no limit to the official qualifications of the white body, and one case of reward; Rapid proclamation, salty make known. ”

Seal the king with a different surname!

Li Xuan was shocked, and the courtiers were shocked.

The Tang Dynasty is not without kings with different surnames, such as Dou Jiande, King of Wu, and Luo Yi, King of Yan, but the end of these people is generally not good.

It is really surprising that the emperor wants to crown a king with a different surname.

But if you calm down carefully and think about it, if there are really those who can win the Tubo Zanpu and the generals, it is not too much to be rewarded as an official.

In the Tubo army, there are many servant troops, and there are not many who are really subordinate to the headquarters of the Tubo court, and this reward is actually not much.

After reading a holy decree, followed by another holy decree, another holy decree was opened: "In the third year of Wei Shangyuan, the age of Bingzi, if the emperor said: Promote the Huangmen squire Lang Laiheng, the Zhongshu squire Li Yiyan, and the doctor Xue Yuanchao and the three products under the Zhongshu Sect, participate in the governor's affairs, and admire this." ”

"Minister's order." Lai Heng, Li Yiyan, and Xue Yuanchao stood up at the same time, bowed and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

"In the third year of Wei Shangyuan, the age of Bingzi, the emperor said: King Ying Xian served as the pastor of Luozhou, and was the marshal of the Taohe Road march; Li Jinxing, the general of the right leading army, served as the deputy marshal of the Taohe Road march and the chief of the march; Shaoqing Xuan of Honglu Temple, general of the right guard of the inspection school, deputy marshal of the march of Taohe Road, deputy head of the march......"

Li Xian, Li Jinxing, Li Xuan, and the three of them stood up closely, and then bowed and kowtowed: "Minister's order, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

"Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the military department, is the head of the march of Lanshan Road, Xiao Siye, the general of the left guard, is the deputy head of the march, and Sun Renshi, the general of the right guard, is the deputy head of the march......"

"Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed as the head of the march of Ganliang Road, and Hua Dazhi, the general of the right leading army, was the deputy head of the march......"

"Xiang Wang Dan, appointed as the governor of the state and the marshal of the march of Shasu Road; The general of the Left Guard, Qi Bi He Li, was appointed as the head of the march of Shasu Road......"

"Shi Li Xiaoyi, the governor of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor, is the head of the march of Jiannan Road, and Li Jingjia, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, is the deputy head of the march of Jiannan Road......"

At every voice, an official or general stepped forward to receive the order, bowing and prostrating.

In a few moments, all eighteen people knelt down to listen to the order.

Li Xuan, who bowed his head, had already been stunned, he knew that he had intercepted a lot of marching news, but he never expected that the emperor would be so aggressive.

Li Xian and Li Dan went out of the town, Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, each led the army together, and also benefited the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Xiaoyi, the Duke of Liangguo, also let it go, and even moved the Sixteen Guards, the first in seniority, the Duke of Liangguo, He Li.

This one, who attacked Tuyuhun that year, followed Hou Junji to destroy Gaochang, captured the king of Qiuci, attacked the Western Turks, pacified Tiele, united with Li Tao to destroy Goguryeo, and even married the lord of Lintao County.

If Xue Rengui hadn't been defeated by Da Feichuan, he might have been able to overpower him, but Xue Rengui was not in the court at all now.

It's good that Su Dingfang is alive, but it's a pity that only Su Dingfang's apprentice Pei Xingjian is here now.

No wonder only Pei Xingjian led the way, if he really wanted him to be the commander of the Western Army, which one could he suppress.

Li Xian, Li Dan, Liu Xianli, Li Xiaoyi, Qi Bi He Li, none of them are easy to mess with.

However, if you analyze carefully, Li Xian and Li Dan are only sitting in the rear, Liu Xianli is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Xiaoyi is sending troops from Yizhou.

It is conceivable that the other roads are all suspicious soldiers who have a false shot, only Pei Xingjian's road is the main force, Xiao Siye and Sun Renshi under his command are both generals in the Western Regions, and even Pei Xingjian's right-hand men, but the soldiers are properly equipped, and they are definitely the strongest in all roads.

The people on the edict of the holy decree either rushed back from other places, or they were in the capital, and today's edict is just the beginning.

After the decree was read, everyone had to rush to the military headquarters immediately to receive the talismans, as well as the detailed march route and time of the march.

When he saw the route of the Taohe marching road, Li Xuan was even more shocked.

The five-way army, bullshit, this is obviously the ten-way army.

What is the emperor trying to do?
