Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"promise!"

Si Yilang Lai Ji responded and then strode out of Mingde Hall.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian gave orders to the eunuchs, asking the people in the food office to kill chickens and sheep immediately and prepare a sumptuous meal.

After making arrangements.

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Du He, the Eastern Palace has sent out all its elite troops for this battle. Will this give Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and the others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

"Do we need to buy Xue Rengui or Xi Jun to stay?"

As long as he keeps one of the powerful generals, he will feel more at ease.

If all else fails, at least keep Pei Xingjian here.

Pei Xingjian is in charge of the spies in the Eastern Palace, and there have been basically no mistakes in recent years. With him around, we can also deal with many unexpected crises.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and the others will definitely take action on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"If they miss this opportunity, they will have no hope at all."

Seeing the confusion on Li Chengqian's face.

Du He continued, "Changsun Wuji and his men's only chance is to incite Li Junxian to rebel, thereby imprisoning Your Majesty and you, and then supporting that puppet Prince Jin to ascend to power."

"Your Majesty has already learned of their little trick. Their trick has completely failed."

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of us were in Chang'an."

"After I eliminate Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and the others, I will lead my troops to rush to Jiannan Road and strive to complete the combat mission before Yuanzheng arrives."

Hearing Du He's words, Li Chengqian nodded in relief.

If Du He led his troops out of Chang'an after getting rid of Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and others, there would be no problem at all.

Without the Guanlong family causing trouble, the princes of the world would not act recklessly.

After thinking about it for a while.

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, "Du He, if Zhangsun Wuji changes his plan and waits until the army sets out, he will instigate the princes of the world to cause trouble."

"Will it still be in time for you to lead your army back to Chang'an?"

He was not afraid of the power of Zhangsun Wuji and Yuwen Jie, but he was afraid that they would instigate other vassal kings and lead their armies to attack the empty Chang'an.

Without the command of the general, the combat effectiveness of the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding Yongzhou would be greatly reduced.

Du He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We have spies monitoring the actions of these princes. I will know before they prepare to raise an army."

"By the time these princes have recruited their soldiers, I've already led the cavalry back."

"Plus, with Hou Junji here, they can't cause any trouble."

These princes only have a few hundred guards under their command. If they want to rebel, they will definitely recruit young men from their fiefdoms.

By the time they had recruited soldiers and trained them for another half a month, he had already returned to Chang'an to provide support.

Besides, with the military god Hou Junji in charge of Chang'an, without hundreds of thousands of rebels, they could not threaten Li Chengqian's safety at all.

Yup!

And there is the god of war Hou Junji!

The reason why Li Chengqian ignored Hou Junji's existence was because he suffered two major defeats in Western Turkestan and lost 2 elite soldiers.

Thinking of Hou Junji's brilliant military achievements in the past, Li Chengqian felt much more at ease.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Du He, you have a conscience. You even kept Hou Junji, the military god, here."

"If you take all the brave generals with you, I would like to lead the army myself and go to Tibet with you for a stroll."

Go for a stroll in Tubo?

Could it be that Li Chengqian thinks that Tubo is weak?

They went to Tubo not for a stroll, but to fight a bloody battle with a powerful enemy, and it was possible that they would be defeated.

Du He said with a chuckle, "Your Highness, you must stay in Chang'an. If you lead the army in person, Li Tai, the Prince of Zhendong, will be eager to make a move."

Well...

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Thinking that Li Tai and Li Zhi would stay in Chang'an for several months, he also threw away all his contempt.

Li Chengqian changed the subject and asked, "Du He, you've been in contact with the Emperor lately. When do you think he plans to abdicate?"

"After getting rid of Changsun Wuji, should we wait until you lead your troops to conquer Tubo and Tianzhu?"

For him, it would be best if his father abdicated before Du He led his army to conquer Tubo and Tianzhu.

After the New Year, when the ice and snow melt, we can go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

If the emperor also wants the credit for expanding the territory, then it will be difficult for him!

Du He shook his head and said, "I can't figure out your majesty's thoughts either."

In fact, the result is obvious. If all these ministers go to expand the territory, will Li Shimin abdicate at this time?

The only possibility is to wait for them to return to the court before announcing his abdication.

At that time, Li Shimin abdicated and the new emperor Li Chengqian ascended the throne, and he could announce rewards for these meritorious officials.

The 30 victorious troops can stay in Chang'an and demonstrate their military power on Zhuque Street.

Once the new emperor Li Chengqian shows his grace and power, he will be able to shock the whole world.

But Du He couldn't tell Li Chengqian these words, lest he would feel uncomfortable after she said them.

"Hey!"

Li Chengqian sighed heavily, and then talked to Du He about the battle arrangements.

Half an hour later.

There was a burst of dense footsteps outside the hall, and Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Li Ji, Pei Xingjian, Fang Yiai and others walked in with excited expressions.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Meeting Master Du!"

These generals were full of vigor, and their voices echoed throughout the hall.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Please take your seats according to your military positions."

When Lai Ji went to inform these people, they had already taken up their positions and there was no need for him to repeat it here.

Everyone bowed again.

"promise!"

There were five marching generals and ten marching deputy generals, who were divided into left and right sides according to the level of their official positions.

As for the marching generals, they sat casually in the back.

On the imperial platform.

Li Chengqian turned to Du He and said, "Du He, before the food arrives, you should assign combat missions to everyone."

"it is good."

Du He bowed to Li Chengqian.

The generals stared at Du He with burning eyes, their faces showing excitement that was difficult to conceal.

A moment of silence.

Du He announced loudly, "This battle will be divided into six armies, with five marching commanders and a central army, each leading 5 cavalry."

"Xue Wanche's troops are stationed in Shanzhou."

"Cheng Yaojin's troops are stationed in Taozhou."

"Li Ji's troops are stationed in Songzhou."

"The mission of your three armies is to destroy the soldiers guarding the Tibetan mainland and conquer the Tibetan territory!"

"In order to facilitate coordinated operations, Li Ji will be the supreme commander."

Although the main force of Tubo was sent to India, there were still 10 people guarding the homeland.

In addition, there are a large number of people in the Tubo territory, and they can mobilize tens of thousands of troops at any time to help defend the city.

Moreover, fighting on the plateau was very unfriendly to the Tang army.

The three marching generals who received the order, as well as their six deputy generals, stood up and responded.

"I will obey your orders!"

This combat mission is very challenging for them!

Wait until they sit down.

Du He then gave the order: "Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, gather your troops and station them in Yaozhou."

"Once the food and fodder arrive, you will lead your troops directly from Pyu to attack Tianzhu."

"Then there will be spies from the Ministry of War to guide you and lead you to the main forces of Tubo and Tianzhu."
