Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 174 Three Generals (1)

Inside Chang'an, East Palace, and Chongjiao Hall.

Prince Li Chengqian is reviewing the memorials sent by the six ministries of the three provinces.

"Commander Long, why are you here?" Seeing Long Zhi walking towards the Chongjiao Hall, Wang Quan rushed to meet him.

Seeing his haste, Wang Quan couldn't help frowning, wondering if something happened.

"Officer Wang, please trouble me to inform you that I have something important to report to His Highness!" Long Zhi clasped his hands.

"Commander Long, follow me!" Wang Quan turned and walked into the hall, and Long Zhi hurriedly followed.

Wang Quan knew in his heart that Long Zhi would not leave the base of Jinyiwei without the prince's summons.

Seeing his flustered expression just now, it must be that something serious happened, and he was in a hurry to report to the prince, so Wang Quan led Long Zhi directly into the Chongjiao Hall.

"Lang Jun!" Wang Quan saluted.

"See Your Highness!" Long Zhi saluted.

Li Chengqian put down the vermilion pen in his hand, raised his head and said, "Excuse me! Why are you here, Long Zhi?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Long Zhi said, "Your Highness! I just received a letter from Fei Ge from Mobei Xizuo. Something happened to Xue Yantuo!"

"What happened? What happened?" Li Chengqian frowned.

I thought to myself: Is it possible that Ba Zhuo became Xue Yantuo's khan in the end?

Then I have thought hard, and everything I did was in vain!

Long Zhi's words confirmed his conjecture.

"Your Highness! Xue Yantuo's Pearl Khan, Yi Nan, suddenly died suddenly. The eldest son of Yi Nan, Ba Zhuo, succeeded to the throne and became Xue Yantuo's new Khan, calling himself Domi Khan."

"Yimang, the eldest son of a barbarian concubine, was worried that Bazhuo would harm him, so he fled back to the east ahead of time. Later, Yemang was killed by Bazhuo who was chasing him!"

"This is information about Xue Yantuo's internal strife. Jin Yiwei is not doing well, please punish him!" Long Zhi said, kneeling on one knee and handing the information to Li Chengqian.

The prince asked him to pay close attention to Xue Yantuo's movements, and even secretly intervened in Xue Yantuo's internal Khan dispute.

Although Long Zhi didn't know what the prince's purpose was, he still carried out the prince's order perfectly.

I thought that the situation was going well, but after the death of Yi Nan, with their help, Ye Mang would be able to ascend to the position of Khan smoothly.

But who would have thought that at the last moment, Ba Zhuo would come up with a counterattack, which caught them off guard.

The prince asked Jin Yiwei to prevent Ba Zhuo from inheriting the position of Khan and to support Ye Mang, but now that Ye Mang was killed by Ba Zhuo, no matter what, Jin Yiwei was not doing well.

Wang Quan stepped forward to take the information from Long Zhi, turned around and came to Li Chengqian, and handed the information to Li Chengqian.

"It seems that the few people underestimated Bazhuo, which is why this mistake happened!"

"Get up! It's not your Jin Yiwei's fault, it's not your fault!" Li Chengqian said after reading.

As a leader, you have to be responsible, and you can't push things to your subordinates. Doing so will only make everyone feel alienated in the end.

"It seems that the sky is going to change in Mobei!" Li Chengqian sighed, he had made many plans to prevent Ba Zhuo from taking over, but in the end it failed.

Man proposes, God disposes!

Even the heavens want Bazhuo to become the new Khan, no matter how good his plan is, it will not help, at most it will add some obstacles to Bazhuo's superior position.

"Who is the guard over there in Xiazhou?" Li Chengqian turned around and asked Wang Quan.

Wang Quan thought for a while and said, "According to what I know, Lord An's Turkic army stationed at Jinshan Road north of Xiazhou."

"Xiazhou is guarded by Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General Tian Renhui."

Speaking of which, Zhishi Sili, the chief of the Turkic Zhishi tribe, was also Li Chengqian's uncle.

In order to prevent Xue Yantuo from taking advantage of his Eastern Expedition and invading the Tang Dynasty, Li Er sent An Guogong to hold Shi Sili and Tian Renhui to lead the army in Xiazhou.

"Immediately send people eight hundred miles to rush! Let An Guogong Zhi Shi Sili and Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General Tian Renhui take strict precautions against Xue Yantuo's surprise attack."

"Also, let Jiangxia King Li Daozong, Zuo Xiaowei General Ashina Sheer, Zuo Wuhou General Xue Guwu come to see the widow." Li Chengqian ordered.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order to retreat!
"Jin Yiwei still needs to pay close attention to the affairs of Mobei, and keep an eye on Ba Zhuo." Li Chengqian said to Long Zhi.

"I understand!" Long Zhi bowed and stepped back.

Soon after Long Zhi left, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, Zuo Xiaowei General Ashinasheer, and Zuo Wuhou General Xue Guwu rushed to the East Palace to meet the prince at the same time.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Prince!"

"Free gift! Give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When the three of them were seated, Jiangxia King Li Daozong asked, "I don't know why Your Highness summoned the three of us together?"

The three of Li Daozong were very curious why Li Chengqian summoned them suddenly, they didn't have much contact with the East Palace on weekdays.

"Recently, I have received a piece of information from Mobei about Xue Yantuo. The three of you may wish to read it first." Li Chengqian handed the information to Wang Quan and asked Wang Quan to give it to Li Daozong and others.

"Your Highness! Forgive me for speaking bluntly! Xue Yantuo's civil strife, Ba Zhuo killing his elder brother, is also a common occurrence among nomads."

"It's actually not surprising. I really don't understand why His Highness is so eager to summon the three of you." After reading it, Li Daozong said.

For the three of them, this is just a normal change of power for the nomads, and it has nothing to do with Datang.

I really don't understand why the prince called the three of them for a normal regime change of Xue Yantuo in Mobei.
"Don't think that this is a simple regime change. It is related to the relationship between the Xue Yantuo Khanate and my Tang Dynasty."

"Ba Zhuo has always hated our Tang Dynasty, and has persuaded Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan many times to attack our Datang border. Yi Nan is afraid of my Datang's strength, and has never agreed."

"Now that Yinan is dead, Ba Zhuo will definitely take advantage of the current father's expedition to Goguryeo and send troops to Tang Dynasty."

"This time I summoned the three of you to come here for this matter. I hope you can put the great Tang's society first." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness is right! Xue Yantuo has always been hostile to our Tang Dynasty, and Bazhuo, the son of a barbarian, even robbed our Datang business traveler."

"Now that your majesty is going to go on an expedition to Goguryeo, the superior Ba Zhuo will definitely think that our Tang Dynasty is empty, so he will take the opportunity to send troops to the Tang Dynasty." Xue Guwu said.

"He, Xue Yantuo, was able to establish a khanate. It was because my Tang Dynasty helped them defeat the Turkic people that they had the opportunity to establish their own khanate in Mobei."

"It's really abhorrent to dare to have evil intentions towards my Tang Dynasty now!" Li Daozong said.

"Xue Yantuo's wolfish ambitions have long been exposed. At the time when His Majesty enshrined Zen in Mount Tai, it wasn't that Yi Nan sent his son Dadu to attack the East Turkic King Li Simo of Huaihua County."

"Although Li Simo has 20 troops, he only has [-] soldiers and horses. Xue Yantuo generously set up and led the headquarters and [-] troops of Tongluo, Pugu, Uighur, and Bailei."

"Li Simo lost to Xue Yantuo's coalition forces, Xue Yantuo was defeated, the news reached His Majesty, His Majesty was furious, and then ordered Li Ji to lead the army to defeat Xue Yantuo." Ashinasheer said.
