Chapter 15: When the Violence Continues

.A noise came from outside.

Li Wei let Wang Guo go for the time being and walked out. He saw many guards pushing each other without asking, and knew what was going on.

Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo came and brought two hundred guards. In addition to half of these guards who were truly responsible for protection, half were middle and low-level generals, ranging from fifth-rank cavalry generals to ninth-rank patriarchs.

They came to Qinghai not for simple protection. Wang Guo is different from Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi stayed in Jiannan for a long time, and even in the Qinghai army, there was a part of the army sent by Li Xiaoyi. Wang Guo wanted to have a say in Qinghai and must have his own close subordinates.

They are Wang Guo's close subordinates in the future. They have the rank of Wusan champion. If they are stuffed into various Qinghai troops, they will immediately become generals. Through these generals, they will immediately capture the Qinghai army. These people are all children from Yingui near Luoyang or soldiers from the Yulin Army. How to choose them? Heichi Changzhi doesn't know, but the arrangements of these men are undoubtedly from the hands of their mothers. The northern army is also gradually controlled by their mothers.

He passed the message and called Li Shoucheng to meet him. Li Shoucheng and Wang Guo didn't know how to find out, so he brought all these people over. He probably saw the guards hitting Li Shoucheng's big ears and came to stop him, and there was a conflict.

He had a calm face and kept silent.

As he pulled, a guard saw Li Wei, hurriedly leaned down and said, "See Your Majesty."

Let's sprinkle my eyes together.

Wang Guo and Li Shoucheng did not say it clearly, but they knew what they were doing in Qinghai.

"Take all of them, and those who resist will kill them!" Li Wei said coldly.

The soldiers from Qinghai came over like wolves and tigers and tied up all of these people. Li Wei said again: "Take Wang Guo down for me, and kill him later!"

Li Shoucheng's eyes fainted, leaving him as the bachelor commander.

Li Wei and Hei Chi Changzhi walked to the inner room, Hei Chi Changzhi said: "Your Majesty, you are so anxious to do something, there will be changes in the capital."

It means that Li Zhi's health may not work, but Wu Zetian was so urgent to take action.

"Not necessarily." Li Zhi's body was already out of control. Maybe he would die on that day and he would die. Wu Zetian's move had nothing to do with Li Zhi's body because he didn't understand military affairs. This was Wu Zetian's biggest weakness.

When talking about this, Heichi Changzhi remembered something and said: "Mr. Pei and Shaojian Zhu secretly sent the Princess Frank to Qinghai."

Li Wei was embarrassed, but also understood Pei Xingjian's intention and asked, "Where is it?"

"I quietly placed her in Shanzhou."

"Well, wait a few months later, send her to Suiye City. Send someone to send a letter to Zhu Jingze. If anyone asks, she will say she has arrived in Daqin."

"Here, Mr. Pei asked me to go to Luoshecheng to invite someone to Qinghai."

"Love some cities?"

"It's that little Tubo empress dowager." Although Heichi Changzhi was not Zhu Jingze, after knowing most of His Majesty's military plans, he also knew why Pei Xingjian could invite the Wulu family to Qinghai. However, when he mentioned the Wulu family, he still looked strange.

Li Wei also had a headache. Wulu and he are in a cooperative relationship, but as long as he overcomes the difficulties in the past few years, the Gar brothers will be defeated. At that time, it depends on how Wulu is thinking. If she just wants to avenge Mangsong, then it will be easy. Li Wei doesn't eat taste, Mangsong Mangsong is a dead person, so there is no need to eat taste for him. Instead, it means that Wulu has feelings and righteousness.

I was afraid that she would not only avenge Mangsong, Mangzan, but more of the Tubo country, would not only turn against each other, but also fight against each other. However, he was very much looking forward to the arrival of the Wulu clan. His plan was perfect, but Wu Zetian was his biological mother in the end. She made a lot of contributions to the country, not Wu Zetian, who later killed countless ministers and royal children. She was also not very active. If she did not use tough means, as long as her mother was allowed to move freely, her threat alone would be enough to be able to be thousands of troops.

The arrival of Wulu can help him a lot, and he asked expectantly: "Are you here?"

"I haven't come yet, but I guess it's about to be soon."

Maybe she wouldn't come either. If she thought she was confident in dealing with the crisis in front of her and considered other factors, she wouldn't come.

It’s not certain whether you can come or not. The main road is too far.

Li Wei thought of Lingxi and suddenly understood why Li Shimin was not interested in Lingxi. Not only was he mainly focused on conquering Goryeo back then, but also that Lingxi was too far away. Goryeo was only in Liaodong, and defeated Yang Guang twice, making it stand tall, which was not conducive to establishing prestige in the Tang Dynasty. Goryeo was not very far from the capital, and it was not far from Lingnan, so it was easy to manage. Li Shimin probably did not expect the tenacity of Silla Bangzi, and squeezed out a large piece of land from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In the west of Lingxi, not only was it going to war with the powerful Dashi, but the road was also too far. I also rushed to the city of Duotou, and the Western Regions were not the way to obtain the scriptures of the Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty. With complete post roads and various post stations, the group came back and were all elite cavalry. It took more than a month. At just a speed, it would take more than two months for the message package from the river to the capital. If it was winter, the time would increase by two times. It would take half a year to walk at a normal speed, or more than half a year to reach it. It is easy to attack, difficult to manage, different customs and living habits, and different beliefs, making it more difficult to be safer than Lingnan.

And I don’t know what happened. Khorasan is now very rich. Although desertified, there are a large number of pastures and arable land, and the terrain is flat. But why has it become a vast uninhabited saline-alkali desert area later? If all desertification is complete, it would not be very meaningful to come. Unless it is forcibly occupied the Arabian Gulf and seek some oil resources. That is impossible. There is no eternal country, and there has not been a technology for exploitation of oil. No matter how it improves the system, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably collapse by then.

Is your appetite a little better?

Indeed, Li Wei fought on the battlefield many times at this time, and was a little happy with the idea of ​​expanding territory. This reflection came in time.

In the evening, the generals arrived.

After rushing all the way to Qinghai, he notified Heichi Changzhi with a fast horse and asked him to summon the generals.

When Li Wei came to Jiaohe City, most of the generals came to join us.

He asked someone to bring Li Shoucheng, Wang Guo, and a group of guards in.

The hall was packed all of a sudden.

Li Wei took out the big map and said to Wang Guo: "I said you want to murder me, but you don't agree, I'll tell you. Everyone, look at the army I brought to Lingxi. After months of bloody battles, the Khorasan area of ​​Persia was basically taken down by us."

He used a pen to draw a circle in Nishapur City and Guchang City: "The farthest place in the army, arrive here. Khorasan is the richest area in Persia, and the cannibals will definitely counterattack and retake this place."

Li Shoucheng was shocked and suspicious, and His Majesty had another great victory.

This is a must. If you don’t win, Li Wei will not attack. This is the critical time. A big defeat and a big victory bring completely different meanings to Li Wei.

Li Wei continued: "The Dashi army is very powerful. Although I have won several times during this trip, there are many reasons. There are not many Dashi soldiers in the entire Khorasan area. Because of religious relations, the relationship between the Dashi people and the Persians deteriorated and invaded many times, causing harm to the Hezhong and Tochar. This is the ruling region that is beneficial to us. Because of the caliph's dispute, both politics and religion have been divided, and the new caliph did not do much. This is the Dashi internally beneficial to us. But how is the Dashi army fighting with them? I personally led the army to fight with them and observed it for a long time. Everyone, the Qinghai soldiers can be said to be the most elite soldiers in our dynasty."

The generals couldn't help but straighten their waists, very proud.

However, the Qinghai model cannot be replicated. The repeated battles and fair rewards and punishments have created a large number of good generals and soldiers. Later, Tuyuhun people used actual combat training many times, and the farmlands they had cultivated were distributed, so they were truly exempted from tax service, made military achievements, and could be rewarded again. This gave the soldiers the courage to fight. This gave the soldiers the same environment as the soldiers of the early Tang Dynasty. However, where did other areas draw so much land to reward?

Li Wei changed his voice and said, "But put aside all factors, we can only fight against them when the two armies confront each other. In Qinghai and the Western Regions Plateau, the Great Cannibal is not as good as the Qinghai soldiers. If it were placed in the Khurasan area, we would be invincible in the hot weather. And the Great Cannibal is like a powerful general. This time, a governor we met was unknown in the Great Cannibal, but his command level was not simple. If he hadn't thought that we would not attack the Khurasan area and were not prepared enough, maybe we would still be trapped on the banks of the Wuhu River."

Speaking of this, after looking at Wang Guo, the old boy was quite dissatisfied. He said, "Dashi will inevitably counterattack. It is possible that Khorasan is in fierce battle at this time. It is not enough to build only the 20,000 to 30,000 troops brought by Persia and me. You have to dispatch troops from Tochar and the river to barely repel the counterattack of the Dashi. But there will be one consequence: Tochar, the troops in the river and the Western Regions are all empty. What if two more armies attack like this?"

A straight line was drawn from the Eastern Turks, and directly attacked Jinshan, Tuqishi and Suiye City, and from the mouth of the Western Kunlun, the Tubo salt road was drawn, and directly attacked Tianshan, and merged with the Eastern Turkish troops, and then divided into a straight line, leading from the Western Regions to the southern road in the west, heading straight to Tochar.

After finishing the drawing, the generals who didn't know the inside story all took a breath of air conditioning.

It is a little exaggerated. The Eastern Turks are developing rapidly, but they are not overestimating their abilities and can reach Suye City. However, Qinling will not sit and watch the Tang Dynasty calmly obtain Tochar and Sestan, forming a strategic encirclement of Tubo. That's it. It is very likely that the two sides will be in a tight position, and the entire Western Regions and Lingxi will collapse.

"Why did I still conquer Khorasan even though I knew this was dangerous? It was because of you and General Black-Toothed that I could fight on both sides and three sides in the West. However, there were some people in the court who saw me living in the world and were very disliked, so they bewitched my father's edict, and transferred General Black-Toothed back, and then used some generals to replace your status. When I saw that I was in a tight position in Lingxi, I would not send troops silently. I was unwilling to escape alone, and Fuling made me escape by chance. Will there be a second chance of luck?"

He turned his head, looked at Wang Guo, and asked, "I said, do you wrongly accuse you of your mistake if you want to murder me? As a matter of fact, there are no generals to be sent by the court. Cheng Wu is better than Pei Xingjian. He can't even deal with the small Turkic riot? Who is Gu Dulu? It turns out that Wen Bo's subordinate is himself!"

"Your Majesty, I am not convinced, I don't know your Majesty's plan at all."

"Then are you loyal to me when you come to Qinghai?"

Everyone laughed loudly, and after laughing, many people frowned. The imperial court did this too much. The north forced Pei Xingjian to erase the credit for his contributions and extended his hand to Qinghai!

"It happened a few years ago. Will I wait until that day? Oh, I was trapped in Khorasan, and I was dead for a lifetime to prove that you were not good for me? How many soldiers in Qinghai have created the great situation today? Why do you accept it?" After a pause, he said, "Lucky, I and General Black Toothed guessed in advance that some people would do this. They didn't care about the situation in Khorasan and had to rush back to Qinghai to stop you. Do you know how many plans you have broken in your career, and how many soldiers in Khorasan are there, because of your career, innocently sacrificing in that land in the West?"

"I really don't have that idea."

"Whether there is or not, based on this fact alone, I will kill you, will I betray you? Is it wrong?"

"Your Majesty, you have no right to prison." Wang Guo shouted.

"Everyone, have you heard that I have no right to be a prison. As an emperor, I can be murdered by my ministers!"

"Kill him, kill him!" More than a hundred generals said angrily. It was not enough to harm the emperor once, so he came. He was still stubborn. Who are these people?

Two guards came over and dragged him down and beheaded Wang Guo outside the hall.

Li Shoucheng's legs were weak, and Wang Guo was the general of the gatekeeper. He was a third-rank general and was killed with just one word.

Li Wei said again: "The situation is critical, and things are urgent. I am here to overcome the system. The next system is Lou Shide, you are the governor of Shanzhou, managing the military and political affairs of Shan, He and Kuo."

He looked at Xue Ne who was brought with him and said, "Your father was loyal throughout his life and served as the governor of Songzhou during his lifetime. Today I will continue to assign you to be the governor of Songzhou, managing the military and political affairs of Songzhou, Maozhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and subordinates."

"Here," Xue Na's eyes turned red and she replied with a little thanks.

I heard that my father passed away was very sad and wanted to return to mourn, but was stopped by Li Wei repeatedly and stopped him. This appointment also shows the true respect for His Majesty in his heart.

He looked at the second brother Qi Ziguang brought by Qi Ziming, who was also a military general, and brought him to Qinghai to hone his skills. There was also a third brother named Qi Zizhen, who held a small official position in Luoyang. Li Wei said: "I will let you serve as the governor of Liangzhou and also in charge of Liang, Lan, Hui, Gan, Su, Gua, Sha, Yi, Xiongzhou affairs. Can you be competent?"

"I will definitely not let down Your Majesty's entrustment."

"General Hei-Tooth, I will grant you the position of governor of the Jiaohe River, to manage the military and political affairs of the five prefectures of Jiaohe River, Jishi, Tao, Die, and Dang."

"Here."

"Don't worry, I will also assign you the position of the chief general of Qinghai Road. All the four governors' offices are subject to your restraint. All the soldiers and subjects in the twenty-one states in the territory, who are not convinced, will you be competent for the killing? "

"Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down."

"Also, let someone inform the Fourth Governor's Office that the soldiers and wars are in danger. In order to prevent villains from being misleading, all personnel of the Fourth Governor's Office will be transferred. Without the orders of the Black-Tooth General Manager, they will not obey the orders. Even if it is the emperor's edict, my system will be my." In order to protect this knife, Li Wei ignored the serious consequences of this appointment.

"His Majesty……"

"If this is the case, I can't feel at ease."

"Your Majesty, I will protect Qinghai from being harmed by the traitors," Heiqi Chang said with a slump.

"Get up," Li Wei helped Hei Chi Changzhi up and said to Li Shoucheng: "You go back and tell my father and mother that if you want your son to die, please give an edict to state that you should not mislead national affairs. This country is the country of the Li family, the country of the people of the world, and the country built by the blood of ancestors and countless soldiers. Otherwise, I will let Hei Chi Chief Executive be killed without mercy if any soldiers and ministers sent to Qinghai to disrupt the situation. Also, you can take this map back and let your father take a look."

"Yes," Li Shoucheng had no choice but to answer. What should he do if he didn't agree? He didn't doubt that the emperor could not kill him.
