.Di Renjie received the order halfway... he wanted to cry

He was not Liu Rengui, and he was indeed older and had the right to show off his character. After receiving the slander book from the preface, he left Weizhou in a desperate situation. But he walked slowly, almost step by step, and was so steady that he only walked more than ten miles a day. But Weizhou was so far from Luoyang, even if he learned to learn a turtle, it didn't take long to get there. However, he received this slander, and the eunuch who wrote the slander book congratulated him one by one.

Di Renjie was just in a daze.

Why can I be promoted to the third rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Tong Fengshu?

This is not Quan Xiang, it is just a knife that hangs my neck.

However, he thought of one thing sensitively. Li Zhi's series of actions in his later years seemed to be reflecting. Otherwise, he would not have been rushing to let Pei Xingjian be the prime minister first, and then slander Liu Rengui back to Luoyang and then let himself be the prime minister. But another thing came.

Before Li Zhi died, he wrote three slanders. The first slander was to make himself the Minister of Personnel and the Third Class of the Secretariat, which made Di Renjie speechless. Just die if you die, why bother to worry about me? He was not in a hurry. When Li Wei comes back, he will be highly valued sooner. How could he be the Third Class of the Secretariat? Even the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat, the left and right servants could obtain it.

The second slander is to let the emperor come back, and there are also feelings to be willing. The third slanderer is to let the people complain, and the previous one is to let Pei Yan, Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao handle government affairs. This is understandable. The emperor did not come back and the state power would be transitioned. But why did the empress dowager execute military and national affairs later?

The emperor is not a child, and he is not a foolish master, and needs supervision and guidance. The Supreme Emperor is so ill that he is dizzy. This clearly means that there is chaos in the country.

The people’s thoughts.

However, there are a few people who are smart and not thinking like this. The previous series of actions proved that Li Zhi wanted to pave the way for his son to return to Beijing, otherwise it would be impossible for the first slander to let Di Renjie enter Beijing, and they were all placed in front of the slander Emperor returning to Beijing.

There must be something strange in the middle.

Think about it again, the person who wrote the wrong book was Pei Yan. How could it not make people think of it?

Your Majesty has a good vision, and Pei Yan has a great ambition. Di Renjie thought to himself.

He thought about it, and Xue Yuanchao also thought about it. This was a very weak master. He had speculated many times for the sake of getting ahead. He had a bad vision, and most of them failed, which made most of his life difficult. However, he had failed more and more times... his courage became smaller and smaller, but his vision became longer. He was not worth it for Li Zhi. Pei Yan did so many things, why can't you tell it?

Then I thought of another question. As the minister of the regent, I was not the one who poured money from Liu Rengui, so I stayed in Chang'an and refused to come back. I was in Luoyang and did not help the empress dowager... I thought about the empress dowager's methods, but there would be no end. If I help the empress dowager, the emperor would come back and settle the old and new accounts. I was worried and actually got sick. So I took advantage of my illness and asked Wu Zetian to retire.

Wu Zetian's grace was approved.

At this time, Xue Yuanchao was not needed, he just moved out his phase... to win over people's hearts.

Pei Yan took over Xue Yuanchao's position... and served as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and for the sake of reward, he moved the Political Affairs Hall from the Minister of the Branch to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.

From this point of view, Wu Zetian is still a long way from Li Shimin. The three provinces of the Sui and Tang Dynasties had the most powers in the Secretariat, and was the brain of a country and had the power to make decisions.

When you go to Menxia Province, you have the power of veto, just like a supervisory authority... Looking at the Secretariat and looking at the Emperor, the Secretariat can only execute and fall to the point of a thug.

So at that time, Li Shimin set up the Political Affairs Hall in the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education had no decision-making power... and could not form a harm. Once he was placed in the Ministry of Education, he had the Political Affairs Hall and the decision-making power, which laid a thick foundation for the creation of powerful ministers. Moreover, no one could see it in history. In order to simplify political affairs, Li Longji further concentrated the power of the prime minister. So Li Linfu's opportunity came! However, Wu Zetian thought about it and was forced to helplessly. Just like Li Wei thought for a long time, he finally chose a dark and rough means to resolve future contradictions.

Then he complained about Liu Rengui returning to Luoyang.

Liu Rengui refused again.

He was very afraid of Liu Rengui and Wu Zetian. It can be said that Liu Rengui was the only remaining veteran, with his qualifications, reputation and achievements. No minister in the court could match. So he sent someone to comfort him. Since the Duke did not come to Dongdu, he used to entrust him to Xiao He for Hanzhong, and now the Ai family entrusted him to entrust him.

When Liu Rengui saw the letter, what does it mean? I, the one who stayed in Xijing, was not at ease. I was very dissatisfied with the letter from the ground. I was old and often sick. The left-behind in Xijing was unable to live in. Let me retire. Then he wrote about Lu Zhi's deeds. The emperor was strong, so don't be too reluctant to be in power to avoid the disaster of Lu Chan causing harm to the Tang Dynasty. That is, Lu Zhi's nephews Lu Lu and Lu Chan. Wu Zetian was unable to do so, so he sent Wu Chengsi to personally announce the imperial edict. Now the emperor is far away in the Western Regions, and he is in power and laboring to persuade him. He also said that the Lu family was sneering at his descendants, and the family was suffering from the Han Dynasty, which led to the deep and humiliating. The loyalty of the prince is always unchanged, and the spirit of the strong and straightforward style is rare in ancient and modern times. He also said, I should use your words as a mirror. You are the old virtues of the dynasty and important officials of the court. Do not invite me in my old age.

Liu Rengui repeatedly wiped out Wu Zetian's face. Wu Zetian was not angry, but instead spoke kindly comforted her. The word "呪" was used, which is a blind person with one eye. He must not look at things in a comprehensive way than looking at things with two eyes. He is so humble!

Of course, this is the most critical time for the transition of power. Once Wu Zetian takes power as she wishes and Liu Rengui is still alive in the world, this will not be the case.

As for the words in the letter, don't take it seriously. Liu Rengui made outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty and was considered a straightforward minister. But he would never have done anything that was rare in ancient and modern times, otherwise he would not have done Li Jingxuan's dirty thing. But all this was to stabilize Liu Rengui, and he was not promoted to Liu Rengui's official position. Instead, he was promoted to another person. Liu Jingxian. I don't know what Wenfu called Liu Jingxian and said. After he came out, her husband asked Pei Yan to write the secrets, and got the righteousness of the military and national power, and also took the first step. So Liu Jing first served as the Shizhong. Then he asked the left gate general Linghu Zhitong, the left Jinwu Guard General Yang Xuanjian, the right Qianniu Guard General Guo Qizong and Wei Yiyi to inspect the four major governors' offices. This was a recommendation to stabilize the four directions and then

The royal children of King Ji Shijia and others... were respectful and respectful... and they were afraid that there would be changes. They added three officials and other officials to comfort them. Not only did they increase their positions, but they also rewarded a lot of money. Unlike the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was very rich, but the redundant officials and soldiers were redundant. Bao Cheng's salary and bonus for a year might be six to eight times that of the US president later. He also raised more than one million troops. No matter how much money was, it was not enough. The Tang Dynasty was in a good condition. Although there were a small number of recruits, most of the soldiers still had no money and the salaries of officials were far less than those of the Song Dynasty. Just like Zhang Jun, in order to make money, he actually took out 500,000 guan to let his veterans do business. This guy bought many big ships and ran overseas, pretended to be an envoy of the Song Dynasty, defrauded money, and brought more than one million guan of money back a year later.

I can imagine how much property Zhang Jun had in his family, but in the entire Tang Dynasty, apart from those top families, how many people could have more than ten thousand yuan in assets? Not to mention ministers.

Therefore, under the various changes of Li Wei, including the wealth accumulated from the Japanese and Silla people, although the military affairs have hardly stopped in recent years and disasters have occurred continuously, there is still sufficient accumulation in the imperial treasury. Wu Zetian was not stingy, and a lot of real money and silver were brought out to further win people's hearts.

Only dealt with two people, Guo Zhengyi, who had always been dissatisfied with her.

He was demoted to the Imperial College and dismissed from political affairs. He was also the prime minister, and he was the prime minister and Liu Rengui were of different temperaments. Then Fan Lubing, who suddenly changed his mind, and Wu Zetian knew that there must be a reason, so he secretly investigated and finally found out that Fan Lubing had "betrayed" him.

Li Zhi did not take action when he was alive. When he died, he found a reason to demote him to Lingnan. A few months later, he sent someone to chase Fan Lubing to death. He was a man and didn't like traitors. Li Wei didn't like it, and Wu Zetian didn't like it. But overall, Wu Zetian's various actions seemed to be implemented for a smooth transition of power. But no one would think so. The simplest truth is that the Supreme Emperor was confused and asked you to decide on the military and national affairs. You took it openly. So what should the emperor do when he comes back? He is not a child, and his literary achievements have made great achievements in literature and military affairs. Will he be willing to continue to be a puppet emperor?

Wu Zetian also knew that the people were in a state of great turmoil, so she once again made Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun the Yulin Generals to protect the safety of the Eastern Capital.

At this time, the newspapers from the Western Regions arrived one after another.

The situation is not as serious as previously stated in the Di newspaper, nor is it too optimistic.

There are not without soldiers in Sailye City, there are more than 40,000 soldiers in the palace. Last year, most of them picked up the earthen mountains under the city of Gabrou, which was considered a practical battle. Later, they went through some training intermittently, but the time was very short. After all, they had to focus on production. Without a grain base, it was difficult to operate the Western Regions.

Before the Turkic invasion and Geluo rebelled, most of these grains had been transported to Suiye City and got a batch of wealth from Moufu City. In addition to leaving enough food for grass, all of them were purchased by the official. They were also afraid that there would be too much grain, and some poor tribes would be jealous and bad things would happen.

But unexpectedly, it actually played a role. However, the combat effectiveness of this army was not very optimistic. Some soldiers were clumsy and could not ride their horses well until now. Even though they were distributed to them, Tang Xiujing did something and ordered the people to carry valuable property and move to Suye City. Although there was a wall, it was only a small group of bandits, and it could not resist so many troops.

However, this time, an outstanding figure appeared on the stage of history in advance. Gudulu also knew the importance of Western wars. However, the important threat to the Turks themselves came from the Guannei army of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitans in the east, and the Uighurs in the north. They did not dare to pull out the main generals and troops, so they let his younger brother Mochu serve as the commander of the army. This is a hero who is more awesome than Gudulu and Yuanzhen. However, his talent has not been played out and is still unknown until now.

After arriving in Chebishizhou, Mochu immediately ordered his general Ashidewei Ni to lead 5,000 troops to Saiyechuan in advance. Whether he could win was the hundreds of thousands of Han people. The Han people did not matter. As long as Saiye and Saiyecheng were threatened, the Tang army of Yin Zhijiahe would inevitably retreat. An ancient proverb said that defeat was like a mountain of defeat, but once he retreated, the morale of the army was unstable. For Heiqinzhi or Qinling, he would also have an opportunity to make the opponent's soldiers retreat like a mountain of defeat.

The main force of Hei Ya Chang was defeated, and the Western Regions became completely corrupt, and the Tang Dynasty's operations in the Western Regions became a terrible one. These five thousand troops rushed south because they were afraid that the people of Shuyechuan would withdraw into Shuye City in advance.

When Wei Ni arrived, Tang Xiujing organized 15,000 troops. When the Turkic coalition army was in a hurry, they intercepted at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. In this battle, more than 2,000 Turkic soldiers were killed and Wei Ni retreated. However, the Tang army had weak combat power, and thousands of soldiers were injured and killed.

Knowing that the other party was difficult to deal with, Tang Xiujing ordered all the people to evacuate immediately. In addition to the valuables that were easy to carry, the others were gathered together and burned them with a fire and compensated them. Anyway, there were a large amount of gold and silver in Shuye City, so I didn't worry about financial pressure.

I wrote another letter to inform Heiqi Changzhi with a fast horse.

Hei Ya Changzhi was worried. After seeing Tang Xiujing's letter, he felt relieved, but he was still worried that he would draw out ten thousand troops to support Shuye City.

Seeing that the Tang army drew out 10,000 troops, Lun Qinling wanted to find fighters and fight in battles many times. Heiqin Chang fought steadily, but closed the camp and did not fight. Lun Qinling had no choice but to wait for news about Saiye City. Wei Ni was defeated, but the main army almost arrived at Saiye City with the 10,000 Tang troops rescued. Mochu ordered the siege, but with the defense of the city wall, the Tang army had the advantage. The two sides fought fiercely on the walls.

Tang Xiujing despised the Turks and believed that it was a group of mobs, but Mochu's organizational ability allowed the group of mobs to exert their combat effectiveness. Individuals, they were far above the soldiers in the city. If Heichi Changzhi had not allowed ten thousand troops to go west to lightly provide support, the Thunder Ye City would be very dangerous.

Mochu also despised the people of the Tang Dynasty among the rising stars. Perhaps Tang Xiujing's strategy was not as far-reaching as Guo Yuanzhen, but he was the best, and there was enough food in the city... A large number of defense weapons. Back then, Wang Fangyi protected the construction of Suye City, which made the area of ​​Suye City very large. At least the city scale was second to none in the Qihe River Basin and the Western Regions. Such a large area was enough to accommodate many people. Not only was it large, but it also had sufficient soldiers to defend. The favorable conditions made this bitter battle very fierce. Suye City was shaky in the Turkic attacks many times, but it was not broken by Mochu.

After more than twenty days of hard attack, Mochu heard a simple rest work

The news of Ye Qide's death did not reach the river, and even the Tang army of Khorasan on the front line did not hear it. But when he heard the information about the retreat of the Dashi army in Nishapur City, Mochu immediately judged that if this Dashi army retreated, then only Herat was the Dashi army. The two armies attacked together, but neither of them won, and only one army was left. The result can be imagined. Moreover, from the scouts, they vaguely learned about some of the things that happened to Dashi and the crazy attacks of the Byzantines. The weather became cold again, and the weather in Khorasan and the river would be very cold in winter, and the Tang Dynasty did not expand southward, which was even more unfavorable to the Dashi soldiers. Once the Dashi people were repelled, the troops on the front line would return to aid, and there was no possibility of conquering Saiye City.

So a decision was made.

Suddenly, the army turned around and attacked the Wudulu tribe of the Western Turks who were unprepared. They plundered the people and their property and sent them to the Eastern Turks.

In fact, Mochuo continued to attack forcibly, and he might succeed, and he might not succeed. However, the casualties and losses in the city were severe, like a tight bowstring, reaching the critical point. Once successful, the Tang Dynasty defeated the cannibalism and the situation would be corrupt.

As soon as the Turks retreated, the remaining soldiers in Suoye City were tested by the war and carried out some training in the future. They would never have a chance next time. As long as a famous general commanded, they might be able to fight with them in the wild. Mochu's retreat became a turning point for the battle.

Mochuo also had his idea. He was his younger brother, either Binjue's Khan. Even if he won, he was also the benefit of his brother and the Tubo people. What if he failed? The future was dark! Moreover, his brother's subordinates had also been besieged Dingzhou City many times but failed and retreated. It would be better to preserve their strength and harvest the fruits of victory.

This is the disadvantage of the breeze of the multi-national coalition forces. They each have their own plans and cannot work together. The six-nation coalition forces failed to block Qin, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Huns, and Rouran teamed up to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande teamed up to fight against Shi Shishimin. It was because of the inability to unify their own ideas. It was because of the life and death of Byzantine. The talented and stubborn Constantinople IV hesitated and waited for a moment, hoping that the Tang army would fight with Dashi first. The two tigers fought each other, one injured and one died, and they drooped their hands to harvest the fruits of victory.

Jing Qinling did a good job, and this time the attack was very successful, but he had never read Cui Hao's words. Liu Yilong and Helian were just trying to connect, and they were just pretending to be a false voice. No one dared to be the first. If two chickens connected together, they would definitely not be able to take off at the same time.

If the Western Regions were just a group of mediocre generals, the Qinling would succeed. The key is that the Western Regions are now almost concentrated in most of the up-and-coming celebrities of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is already famous, the Hei-Take Changzhi, Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, Qi Xinming, Guo Yuanzhen, Tang Xiujing, Xue Ne, Luo Wuzheng, or Zhang Zhiyuan, Wang Lian, Xifenglei and other generals who are being trained, they are all the top figures in the Tang Dynasty's military talents.

For example, if the black teeth are Changzhi, how weak can it be compared to Lun Qinling?

Therefore, the effect of Qinling's war of attack on the military affairs was greatly reduced.

At this time, Lun Qinling also heard some news about Dashi and was very frightened, but his thoughts were slightly different from Mochuo.

The Qin State's counterattack was very likely to have joined forces with the Tang Dynasty like itself, so the Dashi sent very little troops to recover Khurasan, and the Tang Dynasty could not resist with its main force. This was a trap set by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the Great Cannibal soldiers retreated, it would have little impact on the battle situation in the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty's main force was in the Western Regions. The Great Cannibal soldiers retreated and the army retreated from Khorasan and Sestan. The road was difficult and time was too late. Even if we arrived in time, our combat effectiveness was suspicious. As long as the Turks and the Gloru people joined forces to defeat Yecheng, the battle would be won.

But the Turkic commander Mochuo was determined to take advantage of the situation, and the situation was over. He sent someone to persuade him, but it was too late and the effect was not great. Therefore, he suddenly rushed to the east and attacked Guo Yuanzhen's army.

This army has a large number of people, but its combat effectiveness is very low. There is only a small army in Qinghai. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty drew more than 20,000 elite troops, and Heichi Changzhi also transferred 50,000 troops. What else can he draw out? In addition to the ability of commanders, some Western Turkic coalition forces, in fact, the East Army is the weakest army in the three Tang Dynasty.

After defeating this army, the east road was in ruins, and even entered Qinghai from Fuluochuan. He could plunder resources from various tribes, but the Tang Dynasty people dared not. The speed must be faster than the Black Tooth Changzhi's army. Moreover, Qinghai was very empty at this time and could only protect itself. His own army of tens of thousands of troops went east, and the Tang Dynasty emperor's management in Qinghai was completed, and his goal was also achieved.

Not to mention that Qinghai could draw troops from Jiannan Guanzhong and other places, the Tang Dynasty's current situation was not bad, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was already very grateful.

It destroyed the Tang Dynasty's operation in Qinghai and achieved its own strategic goal.

If Black Teeth often comes to rescue him before, he can ambush him, attack them, and the balance can also be transferred to him.

With a command, 50,000 Tubo troops walked towards Kucha in a hurry, stepping on the snow all over the ground.

ps: Originally, this update tonight was a two-in-one chapter. Let's spend this section as soon as possible to the Spring Thunder section. However, Lao Wu had something to do, so he had to cut off half of it and keep it for updates tomorrow night. Regarding whether Pei Yan had tampered with the book, he would post it tomorrow night. Let's read the original text of Li Zhi's legacy, and everyone will understand. He was very disgusted with Pei Yan, Lao Wu, and Sima Guang beautified Pei Yan in order to vilify Wu Zetian.

In fact, Wu Zetian's ambitions have a lot to do with Pei Yan.
Chapter completed!
