Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 383 Crusade against Xiren and Khitan

Su Dingfang went to Goguryeo again, and the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun was still brewing. Although the two sides were at war, there was no friction.

After all, the three armies of the Tang Dynasty were not vegetarian either. Xi Junmai's troops were stationed in Tuyuhun King City, and Wang Fangyi's new army was stationed in Dafeichuan.

And the Heyuan Army led by Hei Chi Chang Zhi was still watching.

Any one should not be underestimated, not to mention the three soldiers and horses. Tubo is worried that the fight will not end well, and now is not the time to completely tear the face off with the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Chengqian took a trip to Bingzhou, inspected the local people's conditions, and then turned to Luoyang City, where he lived in the royal garden in Luoyang City - Shendu Garden.

In April, Li Chengqian ordered people to build the Hebi Palace on the westernmost side of Shendu Garden, which was completed in one month.

"Report to Your Majesty! A secret report came from Dongyi Protectorate!" An eunuch saluted Li Chengqian and handed a secret report to Li Chengqian.

"Soul light!" Li Chengqian was furious after reading it, and smashed the secret report in his hand on the ground. He had just moved into the Hebi Palace, and before he had time to be happy, he saw something that made him angry.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Who made Your Majesty angry? What happened inside?" Li Xiang, Li Jue, Li Sujie, and the two little princes who came to Hebi Palace to pay their respects to Li Chengqian, also took a breath when they heard Li Chengqian's anger. Jump.

This time Li Chengqian ran out and handed over the government affairs to Li Ke, Changsun Wuji and others, while he wandered around with his five sons.

"Slaves don't know!" said the eunuch guarding outside, how could he know so much as a little eunuch.

"Did you send anything in just now?" Li Jue asked.

"Return to Your Highness! Dongyi Protectorate just sent a secret report, and before that, Mobei also sent a secret report." The eunuch said, although he didn't know the specific contents, he did know where it came from.

"Please go in and let us know, the five of us are here to greet Your Majesty," Li Xiang said.

"Your Highnesses, wait here for a while, and the servants will go in and report!" the eunuch finished speaking and turned to enter.

After waiting for a while, the eunuch came out and saluted, "Your Highnesses! Your Majesty let Your Highness enter."

The five Li Xiang entered in a file, and after seeing Li Chengqian, they saluted and said, "I send my regards to the emperor."

"I bow! Sit down!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Xiang and the others thanked En and took their seats.

"Hui'er, Wu'er! Come to the emperor's side." Li Chengqian reached out and waved to the two younger sons, and the two little guys ran over. Li Chengqian hugged each other, picked them up and let them go on the thigh.

The fourth son, Li Hui, was born in the sixth year of Yonghui, and his biological mother was a talented person.

The youngest son, Li Wu, was born in the seventh year of Yonghui, and his biological mother was Zhaoxun.

"Father! Just now, I heard Father Longyan was furious outside. I don't know who provoked Father." Li Jue asked.

"That's right! I'm almost scared to death!" Li Hui made a wave of assists.

"Hui'er is not afraid! Father is here!" Li Chengqian smiled, looked up at Li Jue and said, "What is Jue'er going to do?"

"If someone dares to insult the father, I will definitely not forgive him. Even if his body is broken, he will never be allowed to insult the father." Li Jueyi said righteously.

"If you have this kind of heart, I will be satisfied! Left and right are just the court's business." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Father! But the barbarians rebelled?" Li Xiang asked. What he heard the most in the past few years was the rebellion of various tribes. Combined with what the eunuch said just now, he can guess what it is.

"That's right! Today I received two secret reports. There was a rebellion by Xiren and Khitan in the east, and a rebellion by Ba Yegu, Pugu, Tongluo and other tribes in the northwest. Even the Sijie tribe, which had just subsided, joined the rebellion. How can I not be angry." Li Chengqian said.

Li Xiang and Li Jue didn't know what to say for a while, Li Sujie looked at them quietly, he knew that Li Xiang and Li Jue had been fighting secretly.

"I plan to send troops to fight against these rebels. I don't know who to use for a while. You are here today. I want to hear your suggestions." Li Chengqian said.

"Father! My son thinks that the governor of Dingxiang, Shubin Ashide, and General Yantuoti, the Marquis of Zuowu, can really lead the army to attack the people of Xi." Li Xiang recommended them to Li Chengqian.

These two are both generals of the Tang Dynasty. They are close to Li Xiang on weekdays. They are members of Li Xiang's family. Li Xiang will naturally recommend him to put down such things as the rebellion. If they can win, it will be good for him in the future It is more beneficial to compete for the throne.

"Father, emperor and minister thought Li Hezhu, the governor of Yanzhou, was suitable. With him leading the army, the Xiren and Khitan rebellion would be quelled." Li Jue also stood up and recommended a general to Li Chengqian. His thoughts were the same as Li Xiang's. He is a member of Li Jue's family.

"My Tang Dynasty has a lot of talents, and there are not a few generals who can recruit good fighters. Why do we have to use these generals?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Report to my father! Now my Tang Dynasty has to deal with Baekje and Goguryeo at the same time, as well as Tubo's invasion of Tuyuhun, and has mobilized a lot of troops."

"These soldiers and horses consume a lot of food and grass every day. If the soldiers and horses are recruited from the Tang Dynasty, the burden on the treasury will be too heavy, which will easily shake the foundation of the empire."

"If the generals are used to lead their troops and horses, the strength of the generals will be consumed, and the national treasury will not have to bear too much pressure."

"The most important point is that you can use the barbarians to weaken the barbarians. You can take the opportunity to quell the rebellion and at the same time weaken the strength of the barbarians. Why not do two birds with one stone!" Li Xiang explained.

"Xiang'er is right. If this is the case, then use generals! I originally planned to let Pei Xingjian, Long Zhi and others lead the army. After Xiang'er said this, I agree with you and send generals. Soldiers to quell chaos, this is called using barbarians to control barbarians." Li Chengqian laughed.

Li Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, but Li Jue didn't say anything, no matter how much laying the groundwork before, in the end it all depends on who recommends people who are reliable.

Thinking of this, Li Jue tried his best to recommend his people to Li Chengqian, and Li Xiang beside him was naturally not to be outdone.

The two were tit for tat, and no one could say anything about the other.

"Okay, who should be used and who should not be used? I can make my own decision. How is it proper for you two brothers to argue like this!" Li Chengqian pretended to be annoyed.

"I know my mistake! Please calm down my father!" Li Xiang and Li Jue hastily admitted their mistake. They could argue with each other and refuse to give in to each other, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Chengqian.

"The imperial edict ordered Ashide Shubin, the Governor of Xiang, General Yantuo Tizhen, the Marquis of Zuo Wu, and Li Hezhu, the Governor of Juyan Prefecture, to be the chief officers of the Lengyan Road Marching Army."

"Order each of them to lead their troops to suppress the rebel Xi, and Cui Yuqing, the right minister of Shangshu, to serve as the governor's three troops. In addition to crusade against Xi people, they also crusade against Khitan." Li Chengqian said.
