Chapter 427

After the Anxi Protectorate was completely controlled by Li Yan, Nan Jiyun also heard from the Beiting Protectorate that almost all the soldiers had escaped by Pu Gu Huaien, and almost all the cities of the Beiting Protectorate had become empty cities.

Because the officials had no people in their hands, they could not maintain the situation in the city at all. If Nan Jiyun's men had not been in time, many cities and villages would have been harmed by bandits and foreign cavalry who had fled in.

After receiving the news from Nan Jiyun, Li Qing did not take action immediately. He just ordered Nan Jiyun to maintain the stability of the various cities of Beiting Protectorate first and wait for his own way.

And he didn't have anything to do in Anxi Protectorate. The northwest of the Tang Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated. In addition, it is bordered by Tubo and the people are very tough. It is not easy to manage this place well. Seeing this situation, Li Qing once again sighed that he still lacks talents!

However, he was not completely unable to do anything. Li Li directly issued an order to Li Siye, and directly joined him to help him strengthen the reorganized Shuofang Army. However, Li Siye had to take control of the Anxi Protectorate before.

Because Li Yi had already abolished the position of Jiedu before leaving, the cities in Ershuofang were originally prefect, and because Guo Ziyi's management and operation for many years have been pretty good, Li Siye was naturally dispatched by Li Yi to the territory of the Anxi Protectorate. Since Li Baochen was dead, there was nothing else he needed to guard against except the Tubo people.

According to Li Neng's idea, the Beiting Protectorate could only temporarily hand over to Nan Jiyun. Of course, these are just rights and interests. After he returns to Chang'an City, he must make key arrangements for these places. Of course, there is another factor, which is what he will do next.

During Li Qing's disposal of Li Baochen, Du Huangshang almost kept following Li Qing, observing what outstanding features this emperor had.

This kind of thing is a layman watching the excitement, an expert watching the trick, and Du Huangshang is an insider. Of course, he knew that Li Baochen seemed to have no trouble at all, so he let Li Baochen fall into his plan and then killed him directly.

However, what Li Neng has done has been planning this matter before he even left Chang'an City. If Li Neng had not made it in time, the ending might not have become anything. It can be said that from the day Li Neng decided to start doing this, Li Neng had already been controlled by Li Neng.

This is Li Yan's method as a commander and an emperor. Du Huangshang saw it and had to express his admiration.

Li Neng asked him to follow him just to let him see how to deal with these things. Li Neng had already thought about it. After taking Du Huangshang around this time, Du Huangshang should have the ability to manage at least a prefecture. In other words, he was able to be an ordinary prefect. If he could not reach this level, he could only say that Du Huangshang was just a nerd.

After Li Baochen's affairs came to an end, Li Qing once again called Du Huangshang in front of him.

"Now the matter of Anxi Protectorate has been almost resolved. In your opinion, what should we do next?"

Such a test is really direct, but this question is what Du Huangshang has been thinking about these days. Why didn't Li Nao immediately rectify his troops and horses to the territory of the Huihe people is indeed a problem that Du Huangshang didn't understand very well.

Through Li Baochen's affairs, they already knew that the Tubo people had reached the point where they didn't even dare to take Li Baochen in. Such a Tubo would not pose any threat to the Tang Dynasty in the short term.

Apart from Tubo, there was only one Uighur people left. They could have been away from home, but now Pugu Huaien and Shi Siming ran to the territory of the Uighur people in a noble manner, which gave Li Qing a chance to attack them together.

Although there must be a lot of elite cavalry in the territory of the Uighurs, Li Qing suffered no loss of men and horses in the Anxi Protectorate, so it is completely fine to attack the Uighurs.

"According to the current situation, although Li Baochen has been sentenced to death, since Your Majesty has personally fought, he must destroy Shi Siming and his commander Yi Luohe to be able to retreat successfully. Now Shi Siming has fled to the territory of the Uighurs, and the Uighurs have also taken in their troops. I am afraid that the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs will begin. Your Majesty has been preparing for the war for a while. I am afraid that it is also preparing for this matter?"

Du Huangshang was still very brave to say it. He said what he thought was without any hesitation.

"What you said is indeed something that may happen, but in my opinion, this is a bad idea. It is not bad to think of this step, but have you ever thought about what the result will be if my Tang Dynasty really starts a war with the Uighurs on their territory?"

Li Yan asked calmly again, but this time he stopped Du Huangshang. He frowned and thought for a long time before whispering: "Is this battle going to cause a lot of losses to my Tang Dynasty soldiers? But Your Majesty has said before that the Tubo people will not pose any threat to our Tang Dynasty in the short term. If the Uighurs are destroyed under such circumstances, we will still have enough time to recuperate..."

Obviously Du Huangshang does not agree with what Li Xuan said.

"That's right, but I have to remind you, although what we are talking about is going to war with the Uighurs, it is not only the Uighurs who are really related. If we destroy the Uighurs, then our allies, Luo tribe and Pugu tribe, will not have any threat? Will this large area of ​​land in the north be taken into account by them? As a result of this, will it become the place where our Tang Dynasty has captured, and in the end they will become the biggest beneficiaries?"
