Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 327
Li Chengqian and Li Ke had a discussion on how to govern the autonomous region in the barbarian settlement.

It must be determined that the relationship between these areas is the relationship between the local government and the imperial court. They belong to equal autonomy with the interior, not independent autonomy.

In the future, these areas will no longer be independent, and belong to the vassal relationship with the Tang Dynasty. They are only named in the Tang court, and they are still in the form of independent management of the place.

It must become a part of the Great Tang, under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Tang court, but has more room for autonomy.

Whether it can be done depends on the results of experiments in this area after the extermination of the Liao people.

"A few days ago, I ordered you to send someone to send an edict to Ashina Helu, the governor of Yaochi, ordering him to go to Beijing to see him! Did you get any reply?" Li Chengqian asked.

After discussing the construction of the autonomous region, Li Chengqian turned the topic to the Turkic people in Mobei.

Some time ago, Li Chengqian asked Li Ke to issue an edict to Yaochi Governor Ashina Helu to come to Chang'an to meet him, intending to keep Ashina Helu in Chang'an forever.

In addition, someone else was appointed as the governor of Yaochi, and Ashina Helu's tribe was separated again.

Ashina Helu has already turned his back on him. Instead of waiting for him to rebel, it is better to call his family to Chang'an and take care of him so that there will be no future troubles.

"The edict has been sent to the Governor's Mansion in Yaochi, and we will have to wait a while to know the reply from Ashina Helu!" Li Ke said.

He didn't understand why Li Chengqian paid too much attention to a Turkic governor in the northern border of Mobei. He always felt that something was unusual, but he couldn't tell what was unusual.

"It would be great if he really came to Chang'an in person, I'm afraid that Ashina Helu will find an excuse to shirk and not come to Chang'an!" Li Chengqian said, and Jin Yiwei's spies in Mobei sent back news that Ashina Helu had recently Not quite.

Now Ashina Helu is constantly expanding his power, intending to take advantage of Li Chengqian not long after he ascended the throne, and wants to take the opportunity to rebel.

Taking the opportunity to re-establish the khanate belonging to the Turks, but the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, what he Ashina Helu wants to do is the Khan of the Turks, not the governor of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Ashina Helu is constantly accumulating strength and preparing to rebel. How could he leave his lair and go to Chang'an because of the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty emperor.

Ashina Helu decided to pretend to be sick in an attempt to deceive the Tang court, so that he could stay in the rear and continue to grow his power.

"Why does Your Majesty say that? Could it be that Your Majesty is worried that Ashina Helu will rebel?" Li Ke heard something unusual in Li Chengqian's tone.

Guessing whether Ashina Helu is planning to rebel, none of these barbarians is reassuring.

"I just received information that Ashina Helu is constantly recruiting troops to expand his strength, obviously planning to rebel."

"The reason why I urgently called Ashina Helu to Beijing is to stop the outbreak of war. Now it seems impossible!"

"If Ashina Helu doesn't come to Chang'an, I can only send troops to take him down in one fell swoop before he is fully prepared, so as to ensure the peace of Mobei." Li Chengqian said.

He originally planned to lure Ashina Helu to Chang'an, take him under house arrest, and then send someone to dismiss his followers.

By the way, an autonomous region test site is also established in Mobei, which is conducive to Datang's control of the Western Regions, and it is better than these foreigners repeatedly.

"Why is there such a thing, then Ashina Helu will definitely not come to Chang'an in person, the emperor should make plans early." Li Ke said.

Now that Ashina Helu has turned his back on him, he should be escorted back to Beijing immediately, so as not to wait until he is strong to do it again, which will increase a lot of casualties and losses.

"Wait for Mobei's reply. If Ashina Helu is unwilling to come to Chang'an, I will immediately issue an order to let Liang Jianfang and Qibi Heli lead the army to attack Ashina Helu." Li Chengqian said.

"Anyway, it's not a big mistake to be careful! Brother Huang, it's better to make preparations in advance, in case Ashina Helu jumps over the wall in a hurry and makes a sudden attack." Li Ke said.

This kind of thing is not impossible. Once Ashina Helu finds that the situation is wrong, even if he is not fully prepared, he will prevent himself from being besieged.

Ashina Helu can only take the risk and fight hard, it is better than doing nothing and waiting to die.

Li Ke predicted that Ashina Helu would definitely not surrender, but would instead take the risk and launch a rebellion in advance.

"I have already expected this matter. I have already ordered Liang Jianfang, Qili Hebi and others to go to Xizhou and Tingzhou, and secretly mobilized the army to go there."

"If Ashina Helu dared to refuse to come to Chang'an in person, Liang Jianfang, Qili Why bother and others would send troops immediately to join the Uighur army and send troops to destroy Ashina Helu." Li Chengqian said.

For Ashina Helu, how could Li Chengqian not make any preparations? If Ashina Helu wanted to become the Khan of the Turkic Khanate, it depended on whether he had this fate!

"I hope Ashina Helu won't do anything stupid." Li Ke said.

"Report to Your Majesty! Luo Hongyi, the governor of Tingzhou, sent an urgent report!" An eunuch came in to report, and handed the urgent report from Tingzhou to Li Chengqian.

Wang Quan stepped forward to receive the urgent report, turned around and handed it to Li Chengqian, who opened it hastily to read.

Looking at Li Chengqian with an uncertain face, Li Ke felt that something bad was happening, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Emperor, but what happened in Tingzhou?"

"Luo Hongyi sent an urgent report saying that a large number of Turkic spies were recently found in Xizhou, Tingzhou, and Yizhou, and that Ashina Helu's soldiers and horses showed signs of moving to Xizhou and Tingzhou."

"And the scale is not small. He has inspected many times, and it can be inferred that this is Ashina Helu's intentional military action against Xizhou and Tingzhou." Li Chengqian said.

Ashina Helu's rebellious heart has been clearly revealed.

"Can Luo Hongyi figure out the situation, is it true?" Li Ke asked.

This matter is a big one, and it must not be sloppy, it must be confirmed again and again.

"Luo Hongyi said that he had sent someone to ask Ashina Helu, and the answer he got was that it was just a military exercise, and he had no intention of attacking Xizhou and Tingzhou."

"However, after many investigations by Luo Hongyi, this is definitely not a simple military exercise, but a preparation for plotting against the two states."

"It is certain that this is true. Ashina Helu's rebellion has already arisen, and the court must take effective measures." Li Chengqian said.

"Since this is the case, please Your Majesty immediately issue an edict to let Liang Jianfang, Qi Li and others launch a surprise attack on Ashina Helu immediately, and wipe out Ashina Helu in one fell swoop." Li Ke said.

At this point, the only thing left to do is force!
