Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 446 Sword South Road

"During this period of time, the thing that makes me most happy is not the destruction of Silla, but the news from Mobei."

"Although Mobei has not been completely pacified, Gongyue and Shule have been recaptured by our army, and the road from Mobei to Tubo has also been cut off by our army. Without Tubo's interference, Mobei will soon be pacified .”

"Once Mobei is pacified, the Silk Road in the Western Regions will be unimpeded again. How important it is to my Tang Dynasty, our army can also enter Tubo from Mobei." Li Chengqian said.

As soon as Pei Xingjian and others arrived in Mobei, they immediately united with pro-Tang forces and besieged Gongyue and Shule. At the same time, Pei Xingjian led the main force of the Tang army to cut off the road from Tubo to Mobei.

Qiu Shenji implemented the tactics of digging out his heart, trapping and killing the Tubo generals in Mobei, and subdued the leaderless Tubo army.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Gongyue and Shule directly surrendered to the Tang army, leaving only a few sporadic anti-Tang forces in Mobei to resist stubbornly.

I believe that it won't be long before the anti-Tang forces in Mobei can be completely wiped out.

"Now that the situation on the peninsula is stable, there is no need to send so many troops to stay behind. My minister thinks that the soldiers should be transferred back to the battle in the northwest." Prince Li Jue said.

Silla has been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and the entire peninsula is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Even if some people are dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they can't make any waves.

Eight thousand elite soldiers were left on the peninsula to guard the peninsula. Together with the reorganized and mixed army, it was more than enough to defend the peninsula.

For a period of three to five years, the rule of the Great Tang was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on the peninsula. After they felt the benefits that the Great Tang brought to them, they would be convinced.

"You and I have thought of going together, and I have the same intention! Then let Xue Rengui come back and go to the northwest to fight against Tubo, and let Liu Rengui stay on the peninsula."

"Whether it is the original Silla territory or the Baekje territory, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Andong Governor's Mansion. Liu Rengui succeeded Xue Rengui as the Andong Governor's Mansion, and the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion was changed back to the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion." Li Chengqian said.

For Liu Rengui, Li Chengqian still trusted him. Having him in the peninsula was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty ruling the peninsula. The only disadvantage was that Liu Rengui was too old.

"Father! Duke Liu Rengui of Lecheng County is old, and he has requested to be appointed as an official. I hope that Father will grant him permission to do so." Prince Li Jue said with crossed hands.

Liu Rengui also felt that he was too old to do things, and it was not a good place to stand all the time, so he submitted a petition to ask his old man to return to his hometown to make room for the young people.

"Liu Rengui is indeed getting old, so let him be allowed to become an official! If he is given the title of Doctor Jinzi Guanglu, who does the crown prince think is suitable for the governor of the Anton Governor's Mansion?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Jue and said.

Liu Rengui will not be the protector of Anton, someone must take up the burden of protector of Anton.

"My minister thought that Gao Kan, the General of the Zuojian Guard and Duke of Pingyuan County, was suitable for the post of Protector of Anton." Li Jue said.

"I remember that Gao Kan is your teacher, the prince! What is the purpose of the prince's recommendation of Gao Kan? Is it selfishness or something else?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Father's lesson! Although Gao Kan is the teacher of my ministers, he is also the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Nominating him to be Anton's guard is really a relief for the father! There is no selfishness at all." Li Jue said hurriedly, afraid of being slow Li Chengqian was suspicious.

"Gao Kan can be regarded as a great job! I just think that if he is appointed as Anton's Protector, will he be humiliated?" Li Chengqian said.

"I don't think so. Only when a talent is placed in the right place can he show his talent. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and a scrap iron?" Li Jue said.

"Report to Your Majesty! Jiannan Road, [-] miles, hurry up!" An eunuch hurried over, bowed to salute, raised his hands above his head, and held a sealed bamboo tube in both hands.

Li Jue hastily took the bamboo tube from the eunuch, turned around and handed the bamboo tube to Li Chengqian, looking at the wax seal on the bamboo tube, he knew it was an urgent matter.

Li Chengqian took it apart and checked it, his expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "You bastard!"

Li Jue and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to vent their anger, but they wondered in their hearts what happened, what was the information sent by Jiannan Dao?Why would the emperor be so angry.

"Father! Please take care of the dragon body. I don't know what emergency military report came from Jiannan Road that made Father so angry?" Li Jue asked.

"Jiannan Dao came to report that Tubo sent troops to the south. Except for the Mengshe Zhao, the six imperial edicts betrayed the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in Tubo."

"Right now, wars have broken out in Jiannan Road. Although Mengshe Zhao tried his best to stop the Wuzhao and Tubo allied forces from attacking, it is just a drop in the bucket. It can stop it for a while, but it can't stop it for a lifetime."

"If the imperial court does not send troops to reinforce it, Jiannan Dao will fall into Tubo's hands completely, so I have no choice but to send troops to Jiannan Dao." Li Chengqian said.

He didn't expect that Tubo would come up with a way to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, sending troops to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains from the south.

The main reason is to distract the Tang army and make the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty tired of running around. Once the imperial court wants to rescue Jiannan Road, they can only send troops back from the northwest to defend.

Once the Tang army in the northwest was transferred back to deal with the Tubo and Wuzhao coalition forces in the south, at that time, as long as the Wuzhao coalition forces could hold back the Tang army, Tubo's annexation of Tuyuhun would be a certainty.

"Tubo is really despicable. I thought that we should immediately mobilize troops and horses to help Jiannan Road, lest the Tubo allied forces invade the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty and cause the people to die." Li Jue said hastily.

"Soldiers must be sent, the key is who should be sent to lead the troops?" Li Chengqian said.

"Isn't Xue Rengui coming back from Liaodong? Why not let him lead the troops to Jiannan Road and assist Meng Shezhao to repel the Tubo allied forces, so that Jiannan Road will be safe!" Li Jue said.

The other generals have arrangements, and most of the generals are fighting the rebels in Tuyuhun or Mobei, and they really can't spare any troops to help the south.

"No! Xue Rengui will still be transferred to the northwest to fight against Tubo. I will arrange another person to go to the south."

"As for who will go, I have to think again, the prince should go back first!" Li Chengqian said.

"My son, leave!" Li Jue bowed with his arms crossed and stepped back.

Not long after, Li Chengqian summoned Long Zhi, the commander of Jinyiwei, and appointed Long Zhi as the general manager of the Jiannan Road march, to control the soldiers and horses of the states in Jiannan Road, and stop the Tubo coalition forces.

This time Li Chengqian was completely angry, and Tubo provoked the Tang Dynasty again and again. If Tubo was not eliminated, what would the face of the heavenly kingdom be.

Immediately issued an edict, ordering Xue Rengui to go to the northwest, appointing Xue Rengui as the general manager of the Luosuo road march, and mobilizing another [-] soldiers and horses, together with the Khitan, Mohe and other departments to march to the northwest.
