"That's because they don't dare to do anything now." Wang Xuance pondered, "Assuming that He Wenjin intends to rebel, would he dare with his strength in Yizhou? If he dared to move His Highness now, would he be able to bear His Majesty's anger? His Majesty will definitely do his best to flatten Yizhou."

"What can He Wenjin do to bring about self-destruction?"

Xue Rengui continued: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course." Li Chengqian interjected, "What if he colludes with other races to rebel? Let the other races act first to attract the hatred of Datang, and then He Wenjin can attack us unscrupulously in Yizhou. At that time, who else can do it?" stop."

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

What Li Chengqian said is reasonable, if they continue to stay in Yizhou, it will be troublesome.

"But now which force dares to be an enemy of my Great Tang?"

Xue Rengui frowned: "The battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun is imminent, and only the Western Turks are left."

"Western Turkic is inevitable." Li Chengqian's eyes were as cold as ice: "I have sent Hei Xuanwei to Gaochang to pay attention to the trend of Western Turkic. The rest depends on the attitude of Tubo and Tuyuhun. Let the envoy of Tuyuhun enter the threshold of our Tang Dynasty."

Xue Rengui worried: "Your Highness, if this is the case, should we go back to Chang'an City in a different direction?"

"No need." Li Chengqian waved his hand: "Now they don't dare to do anything to me!"

"The most important thing now is to rush back to Chang'an City and deploy troops ahead of time. The Tang Dynasty is about to change. Apart from Western Turks and He Wenjin, they must have colluded with other forces."

The words fall...

A group of people rode their horses and galloped straight to Chang'an City.

Dongli City...

Camille Town...

Mysterious underground palace.

The mysterious man stood on the top floor of the pavilion, overlooking the entire underground palace.

It won't take long for him to move the underground palace to the surface and see the sky again.

Beside the man, an old man in black robes was anxious on his face: "Master, did we really let Li Chengqian leave Yizhou? If we miss this time, we won't have such a good opportunity in the future."

"No need." The man calmly said, "It's just Li Chengqian, we can't make any waves, don't delay our major events because of him, if Li Chengqian dies in Yizhou, Li Shimin will lose his mind and attack us desperately. If people waver and don't send troops, we will be in trouble."

The man talked about his worries, and then asked, "Is the negotiation over with Tubo?"

The old man nodded and said, "It's already been negotiated. Songtsan Gampo is very shrewd. He is a master who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle. We gave in again and again, and he agreed to withdraw troops from Tuyuhun."

"Normal." The man was not surprised: "Between us and Datang, Songtsan Gampo must be afraid of Datang. If he can't let him taste the sweetness, how can he easily retreat from Tuyuhun."

"What the lord said is true." The old man cupped his hands and said, "Murong Fuyun's humble position has been negotiated, as long as Songtsan Gampo withdraws, they will send troops to Hezhou immediately."

The man's eyes gradually turned cold and he said: "Several forces in the interior asked them to hold on first. After Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an City, we will give Li Shimin a drudgery. I want him to know that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not so good. Right."

The old man cupped his hands and said, "The humble post takes orders."

One month after Li Chengqian returned to Beijing and returned to his command.

palace...

Tai Chi Hall...

Li Shimin frowned as he looked at the secret report on the case.

Snapped……

He put the secret letter on the imperial case, and said quietly: "As Chengqian expected, Tubo did not attack Tuyuhun, and Songtsan Gambo withdrew his troops."

After Li Chengqian returned to the city and told Li Shimin about it, he still didn't believe it.

After all, He Wenjin still has some status in his heart.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, the He family made immortal contributions.

But when Hei Xuanwei sent news from Yunzhou, Li Shimin was shaken.

The Yunzhou Army in the Liangshidu of Yunzhou is rushing to produce dry food for seven days, and the whole army is in a state of combat readiness.

This is really a rebellion.

Liang Shidu was born in Haoyou, Longxi. The official worshiped Ying Yanglang in the Sui Dynasty.

In the end, under pressure, he had to surrender to Datang.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he implemented a benevolent government against Prince Yin's faction and other heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and did not massacre.

But now Liang Shidu has become disobedient, which makes Li Shimin furious.

"How did this happen? Back then, Songtsan Gampo's soldiers were so determined to attack Tuyuhun, and even sent envoys to Tang Dynasty to ask us not to send troops to help Tuyuhun, but now he has withdrawn his troops."

"The withdrawal of Tubo's troops doesn't mean anything? Tuyuhun only has a total of [-] troops. How dare he invade our Tang Dynasty so easily."

"It's not just Tubo, I heard that there is also a change in the direction of Yunzhou."

In the court hall, all civil and military officials whispered.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

at the same time.

All the way post soldiers galloped towards Chang'an City.

Run into the court.

"Hezhou urgently reports that Tuyuhun raised [-] troops, crossed the western border, and has already conquered three cities. Please ask the imperial court for reinforcements."

"Gaochang Prefecture urgently reports that the Western Turks are attacking Gaochang, all the way is in full swing, 30 troops are besieging the city of Gaochang, requesting reinforcements from the imperial court."

"Yunzhou urgently reports that Liang Shidu rebelled, and the governor of Yunzhou was killed."

"Ganzhou urgent report, Lujiang king Li Yuan rebelled and claimed the throne on his own."

"Urgent report from the same state, Li Xiaochang, king of Yi'an, rebelled, and the governor of the same state was killed."

"Urgent report from Yizhou, Governor He Wenjin of Yizhou conspired against him, and made Li Huanlin, the son of Crown Prince Yin, the king."

One after another urgent report was passed into the court.

Shocked everyone.

Li Shimin stood up, his eyes were about to split, Li Jiancheng's son Li Huanlin became king in Yizhou.

The black hands behind all this finally surfaced.

boom!

Li Shimin's eyes were scarlet, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care about past suspicions, and I am magnanimous to them, but they are so ambitious, they rebelled and rebelled, they really deserve to die."

"And where did this Li Huanlin come from? He dared to call himself a descendant of the hidden prince and colluded with the Turks. He should be punished for his crime."

Compared to before, Li Shimin was a little more stable, and did not go berserk directly because of this incident.

In the face of crisis, calmness is the most important thing.

All civil and military officials were dumbfounded, it happened so suddenly.

Datang was still thriving yesterday.

Today, there are so many rebellious officials and thieves.

Liang Shidu, Li Yuan, Li Xiaochang, He Wenjin.

A name flashed in everyone's mind.

Of these four people, none of them is not the Prince Yin's legacy.

The most important thing is that out of nowhere, a descendant of Prince Yin popped up.

He actually colluded with the Turks and invaded the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks and the Han people have long been deadly enemies, and they are at odds with each other.

Not only did they harm the Tang Dynasty, but they also used the border of the Han people as their pasture. Every time they invaded the border, they killed all the men and old people, and took away all the women and children.

Yin messing with Han women and eating Han children is simply frenzied, and both humans and gods are angry.

However, Li Huanlin chose to join forces with the Turks, and his wolfish ambitions needless to say.

Chapter 357 Full-scale war

Li Chengqian didn't panic.

It is better for them to be forced to jump out now than to rebel when they are fully prepared in the future.

Li Jing stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun, Liang Shidu and Li Xiaochang are nothing to worry about, we just need to divide our troops to resist, but Li Yuan from Ganzhou and Li Huanlin from Yizhou are our serious worries."

"If Li Yuan occupied Jiayuguan, it would be tantamount to cutting the throat of Hexi, and not only Gaochang, but the whole of Hexi would fall into their hands."

"The pharmacist is right. Since they want to die, I will let them have a taste of my Tang cavalry." Li Shimin stood in the middle of the court, his eyes were cold: "Li Jing stepped forward to listen to the order."

"The end is here!"

"I appointed you as the general manager of Zhengnan University, leading [-] troops to help Hezhou, and must drive Tuyuhun out of our Tang border."

"The command of the last general."

"Chai Shao stepped forward to listen to the order."

"The end will be..."

"I will appoint you as the general manager of Zhengdong, and lead [-] troops to attack Yunzhou. You must kill Liang Shidu's dog head to me."

"The command of the last general."

"Qin Shubao stepped forward to receive the order."

"The end is here."

"I will appoint you as the general manager of Zhengbei University, and lead [-] troops to attack Tongzhou and kill the rebels on the spot!"

"The command of the last general."

"Li Chengqian stepped forward to receive the order."

"My son is here."

"I appointed you as the general manager of Zhengxi, leading 40 troops, heading west all the way, and wiped out Li Yuan, Li Huanlin, He Wenjin, Western Turks and other rebellious officials and thieves!"

"My son leads the order."

Li Shimin issued several military orders in a row, which was unexpected and reasonable.

He really left the most difficult bone to Li Chengqian.

It is self-evident how difficult the journey to the West was.

The enemies Li Chengqian had to face were Li Yuan, He Wenjin, Li Huanlin and Western Turks, with a total of 60 troops.

Li Shimin sent only 40 soldiers to Li Chengqian.

This battle must be a bad one.

This battle is related to the life and death of Datang.

Once Li Chengqian was defeated, the enemy army would come out of Jiayuguan, drive all the way straight from the Hexi Corridor to the Hetao Plain, and point their swords at Chang'an City.

It can be seen that they have planned for a long time.

If Li Chengqian hadn't killed the Yizhou Five Ghosts by mistake, they don't know how long they would have to hide.

Li Shimin also had selfish intentions in sending Li Chengqian to the west. He wanted to show the world that Li Shimin could defeat Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengqian could also defeat Li Huanlin.

The next day...

The whole army is mobilized.

Li Chengqian led the Baipao Army and the Modao Army to Liangzhou, where his 40 troops will gather.

……

Datang Xijiang.

Gaochang City...

The endless Turkic army outside the city, Chen Bing in the west of Gaochang City.

The Turkic tents stretched for hundreds of miles, and the battle flags fluttered in the wind.

In the center of the camp area, there is a huge cowhide tent with a handsome flag next to it.
