Pei Min held an extraordinary meeting and expressed his thoughts.

"I always felt strange before, why did Mosremasa not attack? If I had started, I could use them to trap Tuozhe City and take the initiative to explain it. Now that we have rescued people from the city, we can't understand it if we defend ourselves. Mosremasa is a commander who is good at attacking. There is no special reason. I don't believe he will stick to it so honestly. These days, I have been thinking about this issue. It was not until the Northeast incident that I felt something. Is that lion waiting for this opportunity?"

Xu Yuanqi Chong said, "Pei Shuai suspected that Arabs have connections with Zhang Zhe?"

Pei Min said: "It is very likely that after the last defeat, Persia within Arabia became rebellious. Although Mosremasa returned to the army and quelled the civil strife with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. However, they liquidated internal conflicts and consumed a lot of strength. Moreover, we have won over the Frank Kingdom and the Byzantine Kingdom. According to the current situation in Arabia, it is very irrational to force the war to start."

"This is also the place where we care about it. Even I did not expect that Arabia would launch such a large-scale battle under such circumstances."

"Mosremasa is naturally not stupid. In other words, they have other reliance. The bad situation of the Northeast Army lasted for many years. After entering the Shangshu Province, the first thing he did was to solve this problem. Zhang Kang was ambitious and was unwilling to be conspired to destroy it for many years, so he sent people to Arabia to collude with it."

Pei Min analyzed bit by bit and connected the two things that were thousands of miles apart.

Gao Shi said in shock: "If this is true, then Xu Ming will make great contributions. Zhang Kang will definitely not sit idly by and wait for Pei Shuai to deal with him. He will suddenly attack the North at the right time. If this is caught off guard, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. The biggest possibility is the fall of the North, and the Arabs and the rebels echo each other, and our side will be greatly affected."

Pei Min also thanked: "Now he has received the warning from An Sishun Jiedu. The Prince of Xin'an is very alert and sent Guo Ziyi to defend Changshan County first. Now he is going to the front line himself, so he doesn't have to worry about it..." He laughed and said: "That stupid lion underestimates my Tang Dynasty too much. Do you really think that I am the only one in my dynasty?"

Xu Yuan then laughed and said, "In this way, we might as well make good use of one or two. If we can tempt them to attack and use their tricks, even if we can't win, we can still give him a hard blow."

Pei Min said: "We will call you here for this matter."

As Pei Min discussed with his staff.

Sun Zhou left the military camp and went to Kucha to find Li Linfu who copied Yan Gaoqing in Kucha.

All the kings of the Western Regions were rescued, and Pei Min let them return to their country, and first stabilize the people's hearts and prevent turmoil.

Yan Gaoqing naturally returned to his post and was in charge of the Western Regions as the chief of the Anxi Protectorate.

Li Linfu is still responsible for diplomatic exchanges in the Western Regions. His strangeness and Yan Gaoqing's integrity are exactly one black and one white, complementing each other, and ruling the countries and kings of the Western Regions tightly.

When Li Linfu learned that Sun Zhou was coming to the house in the morning, he immediately realized that he was coming to question him and led him to the depths of the government office.

"Brother Sun, I knew you would come and ask for the crime!"

Li Linfu still greeted him friendly.

Sun Zhou was full of anger. Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, he also questioned straightforwardly: "Northeast Zhang Kang has rebelled, you know this!"

Li Linfu nodded slightly and said, "How can you not know such a big deal? But you don't know what the situation is now? It's better not to affect the war in the West. If it really affects me, Li Linfu, cannot atone for my sins after death." He sighed and looked worried.

Sun Zhou said in a cold voice: "Isn't all this within your calculation?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Li Linfu shouted in horror: "Brother Sun thinks me, Li, is so amazing. I, Li Linfu, have so much power, don't you know? You have an intelligence network in your hand and have only a little understanding of the matters in the Northeast. How can I know? I understand that Brother Sun is very prejudiced to someone now, so it's no wonder that Brother Sun. I am willing to bear the eternal infamy for the great plan of the Peach Shuai. It's a pity that the plan is in people and the success is in heaven. I never thought that the Northeast would be in chaos. What is the situation in the Northeast? I am now anxious."

Sun Zhou said: "I don't know the details either, it seems that nothing is serious."

"Then... what about Cui Xiyi and Zhang Xiaosong? What's the situation now?" Li Linfu asked another sensitive question.

Sun Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Gao Lishi has been rejected by His Majesty. His current status and strength are not as strong as before, so there is no movement."

"You must be careful!" Li Linfu said solemnly: "Gao Lishi should not be underestimated. I dare to conclude that he is unwilling to have conflicts with Your Majesty. After all, Your Majesty is the emperor chosen by the late emperor. Otherwise, he will be tough and His Majesty will definitely not be able to help his existence. Gao Lishi's loyalty to the late emperor has reached a blind point. He will definitely complete the tasks given to him by the late emperor."

Sun Zhou nodded silently.

It turned out that before Li Longji passed away, he gave Gao Lishi a task to weaken the military power in Pei Min's hands little by little.

Li Longji did not distrust Pei Min, but he had realized the hidden dangers of Pei Min: Pei Min was too young and had too much power in his hands.

The new emperor may not be able to suppress him. Even if Pei Min is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, what about his son? Will his son be as loyal to the Tang Dynasty as Pei Min?

Li Longji was the emperor after all. When he was alive, he was confident that he could suppress everything, but when he died, he inevitably planned for Li Tang's future.

Pei Min has many powerful generals and famous generals, but they can be roughly divided into three types. One is promoted by him himself, such as Feng Changqing, Geshuhan, Wang Zhongsi, and Pugu Huaien. These characters are loyal to Pei Min and do not need to be considered.

But in addition to them, there are also people like Cui Xiyi and Zhang Xiaosong.

They had already achieved success when they became Pei Min's decree. Cui Xiyi was originally the local governor, and Zhang Xiaosong became famous early in the Western Regions.

They believed Pei Min, but were not loyal to Pei Min.

There are also the old subordinates of Guo Zhiyun of Longyou and the old subordinates of Xue Na of Hexi. They belong to the third type of people and have feelings for Pei Min and the Tang Dynasty, which is considered neutral.

Of course, there is also the fourth category of Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi has no need to say much about his talent, but he is very utilitarian. If he is able to abandon his old commander for the sake of his future and join Pei Min, he may not have turned to others. However, there are a few people like him...

Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to focus on promoting Cui Xiyi and Zhang Xiaosong, and value Guo Zhiyun and Xue Ne's old subordinates, and gradually transferred the military power of Hexi and Longyou to them.
