Chapter 160 The Ambitious Uighur People

Moreover, Li Neng called for Yan Zhenqing not because of his calligraphy that was widely circulated in later generations, but because of his ability and temperament.

To a certain extent, Yan Zhenqing still has many similarities with Zhang Xun. After all, they are both people who care about the country. Moreover, they have a bit of similar thoughts to Yu Qian, who was later in the Ming Dynasty, that is, they do not regard themselves as the emperor's subject, but as the Tang Dynasty's minister and the people of the Tang Dynasty.

In plain words, this guy is really a bit stubborn, he is stubborn, and he doesn't recognize others.

In addition to his personality, Yan Zhenqing is also a rare person with both civil and military skills in this era. This is exactly the standard for Li Qing to select and employ people. He is a civil servant, and it is useless to give him this time. Hebei Road just took it back and had such a strong enemy. Li Qing really needs talents.

The content of his letter to Mou En and the leaders of the Tongluo tribe was very simple, and he invited them to Fanyang City again to discuss countermeasures.

A few days later, there was no news in Chang'an City, but Mou En and the leader of the Tongluo tribe arrived in Fanyang secretly.

This was the first time that Li Neng met with the leader of the Tongluo tribe, but through the series of things he had done before, Li Neng was relieved of him.

After all, Tong Luo and Pu Gu are good brothers who have been dependent on each other since the Tiele Nine Parts opened. To this day, they all understand that if even the two tribes cannot advance and retreat together, then they will not be far from destruction.

After the three of them exchanged a few greetings, Li Yan lowered his face and got to the point.

"What's the movement of the Uighurs these days?"

"They didn't make any noise, but one thing is that Shi Siming has not come out since he entered the Uighur royal court. The troops he brought were stationed outside the Uighur royal court. Judging from this situation, both sides trust each other very much!"

Mou En sighed when he said this, which was obviously the situation they were most reluctant to see.

Shi Siming had been in the Uighur Wangting for so long, and probably had already told Mou Yu Khan everything he knew about the Tang Dynasty. Once this was true, what they wanted to do next would be revealed.

"How many soldiers can you two have to fight? How many soldiers do you expect the Uighurs can have?"

This time, Li Qing didn't go around in circles at all and asked him what he wanted to know.

How many people and horses in the tribe can be said to be the highest secret of a tribe, but after Mu En and the leader of the Tongluo tribe looked at each other, he replied in a low voice: "The combined battle between our two tribes will not exceed 100,000, while the Uighurs are afraid that the elite cavalry alone will not be less than 200,000 to 300,000. If they exert their strength, they will probably have about 400,000 people."

After hearing the news, Li Li frowned even tighter.

Indeed, although the Uighurs were close to each other during the rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming, they had never really participated. Even though they were very close to Hebei Road, An Lushan and Shi Siming never thought of causing trouble for them in the past, nor did they want to become allies with them, because when the old Khan was in power, they had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

This led to the fact that the Tang Dynasty and the rebels were almost gone, but the Uighurs still had no energy to consume.

Li Neng guessed that Mou Yu Khan discovered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, so he launched a series of coups after Ye Hu brought his troops to support the Tang Dynasty but was attacked in the middle of the journey, eliminating his brother and his father who had disagreements with him, and then he took the stage at this time.

Once Mou Yu Khan really has this scheming and courage, he will definitely be a hero who can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty. After Shi Siming goes, he will become a major concern in the Tang Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he may endanger the country and country of the Tang Dynasty. Now Li Yan is the first stumbling block on his road to threatening the Tang Dynasty.

"Now Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have brought their respective troops back to Chang'an City. I, Hebei Road, have only 50,000 soldiers, but a small part of them are guarding Youzhou. If we really fight with the Uighurs, we will be in a difficult position!"

Li Yi was immediately considerate to Mou En and the others, but this suspiciousness made Mou En and the others look even more serious.

Their three armies combined have only a force of more than 100,000. With Shi Siming, the Uighurs are now well aware of Hebei Road and their initiative is completely in their hands.

"Or...why... the prince would tell the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty immediately about this and ask Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to bring their troops back?"

The leader of the Tongluo tribe who had not interfered much was only then mustered up the courage to propose such a strategy to Li Yan.

Originally, he and Mou En's troops were a bit of a psychological shadow when they met the Uighurs, and they also knew what kind of combat power Yi Luohe was. Such a comparison of strength really made him lose the courage to deal with it.

However, after hearing this, Li Qing just smiled and shook his head. Although his face was still very cold, he had no worries.

"Today's Tang Dynasty probably has to face more than one Uighur people. Not to mention anything else, if the troops and horses are not removed from Hexi and Longyou, they will probably have become Tubo. If Lingnan does not remove people, they will also become Nanzhao people. Can the Uighur people be stronger than Tubo? We must cross this mountain by ourselves!"

Mou En and the leader of the Tongluo tribe looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes, but at this time, of course, they had no other way except to listen to Li Yan.

"Don't you want to regain the reputation of the leader of the Nine Tiel tribes from the Uighurs? Cooperation with me is different from cooperation with Chang'an City. Once you can defeat the Uighurs, the territory in the north will belong to you. As long as there is no dispute between you two tribes, I will not interfere in any of your affairs. We are simple allies, not your two tribes are my subordinates."

The Uighurs before were actually a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty. They not only had to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but also had to accept the title of Khan given to them by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
