Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 486 Eastern Turkic Rebellion
"Do you think there is really no need for the Heyuan Army? Do you think that with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, no one dares to have other thoughts?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes! Now that our Tang Dynasty is at its peak, who would dare to be an enemy of our Tang Dynasty?" Li Jue said, his tone slightly arrogant.

The Tang Dynasty is powerful and powerful, and who dares not to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian was a little disappointed with Li Jue.

Now that he is the biggest in the world that day, he will definitely drag Datang into a place of eternal doom in the future.

"It's ridiculous for you to say such a thing. Although Tubo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, it was just waiting for an opportunity. Once the time is ripe, Tubo will make a comeback."

"Although there are Anxi troops in the Western Regions, the Turks are a bit uneasy. Maybe they will jump out and make trouble again at some point."

"And you, as a prince, don't even understand these things, but you want to abolish your martial arts. If you become the emperor, how can you keep the country of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian scolded.

Don't look at the appearance of Tubo surrendering to the Tang Dynasty and keeping its own place. In fact, Tubo has never given up. If Tubo is not a place of bitter cold, and it is a plateau area that is not easy to capture, the Tang army would have sent troops to take the entire Tubo.

It was only because the price of doing so was too high that the gains outweighed the losses, so Li Chengqian allowed Tubo to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

But they never let down their vigilance against Tubo, and the Heyuan army is just to deal with the possible comeback of Tubo.

The abolition of the Heyuan Army is tantamount to giving Tubo a chance to make a comeback.

Also, despite the fact that Mobei is calm now, it is actually an undercurrent, especially the Turkic people, who are also waiting for an opportunity to make waves.

There is also Dashi, don't look at the current Dashi and Datang trade with each other and get along with each other friendly, once there is something wrong with Datang, Dashi will send troops again to the Khorasan area.

The idea of ​​Dashi wanting to occupy the land of the Central Plains, if he survives for a day, he will try his best to make a comeback.

Therefore, Datang must have a soldier and horse stationed in the northwest to deter those forces that are ready to move, and before letting them act, they must first weigh whether what they do can bear the consequences.

"I know I was wrong!" Li Jue said, but he didn't think so.

"Don't just talk about it, it's best to think so in your heart. Sometimes, I really want you to go to the north to have a look, to practice with the Heyuan Army, and open up wasteland and farm land." Li Chengqian said.

"Father! My son is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. How could he go to a place of bitter cold and be with a group of lowly status soldiers?"

"If the scholars and aristocratic families in the world know about it, wouldn't they be ridiculed by the prince, son minister? Which prince in the past dynasties would join the army with humble soldiers."

"Father, please take back your orders, don't do things that make the world laugh at you." Li Jue crossed his hands and saluted.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt depressed. What kind of bastard talk is this? Without the bloody battles of the soldiers, he can have his current rich clothes and food. As a prince, shouldn't he be more aware of their hardships and hardships?
Now the crown prince is condescending, looking down on those soldiers who have been bathed in blood and contributed to the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian not only wants to ask, is Li Jue worthy to be a crown prince?

"Are these your own ideas, or did someone teach you?" Li Chengqian asked.

If Li Jue thinks so, it means that he is not suitable to be a prince, and he is not qualified to shoulder the heavy burden of Datang in the future.

If it was taught by someone else, there might be a chance to teach him again, and he will choose a master for the prince again, and even the officials of the East Palace who may affect the prince will be replaced.

"It was my teacher and subordinate officials who told me that the crown prince is the national origin of the Tang Dynasty, and should have the manners of a national origin..." Li Jue said in a babble.

Li Chengqian's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and he was already planning to find a new master for the prince, and by the way, change the people around the prince.

Virtue is not good, flattering people, all replaced by people with both ability and political integrity, use their character to influence and teach the prince, maybe the prince still has some hope.

"Report to everyone! The Anxi Protectorate's Mansion sent an urgent report!" An eunuch hurried in and presented the urgent report from the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion to Li Chengqian.

"Submit it!" Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, and there was an urgent report from the Anxi Protectorate, and there must be nothing good.

Wang Quan hurried forward and took the urgent report from the eunuch. The eunuch bowed and retreated. Wang Quan turned around and came to Li Chengqian to hand over the urgent report to him.

"Damn it!" Li Chengqian was furious after reading the urgent report.

"Father! But what happened to Anxi?" Li Jue asked, he had never seen Li Chengqian so grumpy.

"There's nothing wrong with you here! Go back first!" Li Chengqian said.

"My son, leave!" Seeing that Li Chengqian was unwilling to say anything, Li Jue didn't dare to ask further questions, so he bowed and withdrew.

"Quickly tell that Li Ke, Liu Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others have come to see me." Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and hurriedly sent someone to inform Li Ke and others to discuss important matters.

Li Jue glanced at Li Chengqian above the main hall, turned around and walked out, returning to the East Palace.

"I see Your Majesty!" Li Ke and others rushed over immediately after receiving the urgent notice.

"Free of courtesy, let's all sit down!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd thanked each other.

"Your Majesty! I heard that something happened in Mobei? I don't know which tribe has rebelled again?" Li Ke asked as soon as everyone sat down.

On the way here, they learned about this matter, although they didn't know much.

"This time it's not Mobei, but Monan. The East Turkic Asdwin Fu, who was under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Protectorate, conspired against him and supported Ashina as Khan."

"At the same time, the chiefs of the 24 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu all responded to the rebellion and supported hundreds of thousands of troops. The Shanyu Daduhufu fell, and the people in the Shanyu Daduhufu fled to Anxi Duhufu."

"This news has just been sent back through the Anxi Protectorate, what do you think should be done?" Li Chengqian asked.

The Eastern Turks in Monan were dissatisfied because they were used too frequently by the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they conquered Goguryeo in the east, Central Asia in the west, and crusade against Rebel Xi and Khitan.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty recruited the Eastern Turks to fight in all directions was firstly because of their strong combat effectiveness, secondly to consume their vital forces, and thirdly to save costs so as not to drag down the national treasury.

"I think it's a top priority! We should send troops to take back Shanyu's protectorate. In this way, Tang can still deter Monan."

"At the same time, dispatch troops and generals to defeat the Turks and regain Monan," Li Ke said.

"What you said is exactly what I thought, so who do you think should be sent to lead the army?" Li Chengqian asked.
