.No pop-up windows, thousands of book fans were given the imperial decree online at the same time, and Pei Xingjian didn't care at all.

Can a single derogatory book save the lives of thousands of Tang soldiers who fell by the Hengshui River?

He never thought about using this army. Either this army was stationed in Hengzhou and Daizhou respectively, which could prevent the Turks from going south to Hebei. These were tens of thousands of Tang troops, guarding Guanshu everywhere. As long as they were not greedy for merit, Cao Huaishun was good, Liu Jing liked, or Li Jingxuan re-activated it. What's the difference?

But after receiving the imperial edict from the court, he wrote a hurry to say that the court could replace people, without having to speak out to the outside world, and continued to let Hengzhou maintain the banner of Cao Huaishun in charge of military affairs. Li Zhi did not understand this and acted according to his words.

The Hengzhou army then changed defenses in a series of quietly.

Pei Xingjian sat peacefully in Daizhou, but sent a large number of scouts to the outside of the pass, and sent some people to threaten that Ashina Fu Nian was hesitant about rebelling against Tang, so he let Cao Huaishun go at the critical moment, otherwise he would have annihilated Cao Huaishun's entire army by the Hengshui River.

After the arrangement was completed, no other actions were left.

Most people in the court could not understand Pei Xingjian's actions. When Li Wei was in the court meeting, Cen Changqian could no longer hold back and raised his teeth to stand out and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, Pei Xingjian is in Daizhou and does not move his troops, and tens of thousands of troops are seriously consumed. What are the arrangements?"

He was the Minister of War and served as the Pingzhang Office. Pei Xingjian never left the army. It has been months since he endured it, and he was under the greatest pressure.

"How angry are the Turkic people in the battle in Hengshui?"

"..." Cen Changqian did not dare to answer. This answer must have involved the struggle between the court and the Supreme Emperor's mistake in employing people.

The morale was only part of it, and Pei Xingjian did not move his troops, mainly because the counter-espionage plan was not at the right time, and Bisu's army did not arrive. The latter was also a place that Li Wei was worried about. It took time for the messengers to visit each other, and it also took time to mobilize the troops of various units, but the Tieler people were still too slow. The soldiers were very fast. This slow speed of gathering the army, once the south of the desert was out of control, the Tieler people would be unable to resist the Turks' unification of the entire desert, and there were also Pugu and other troops, which were not satisfied with the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wei won't tell the inside story.

There are not many ministers who know the inside story, less than ten of them, all of whom are Li Wei's confidants. They will not say that Pei Xingjian is in the limelight at this time, and there are still many people who are interested.

He continued: "Cen Qing, Pei Qing has already made arrangements in Daizhou, and it will not take too long to convey good news."

This answer was very vague, but Cen Changqian didn't dare to ask any further.

Pei Yan stood up and asked, "My Majesty, what are your plans? Why didn't the Political Affairs Hall hear any news?"

He could also ask, but Li Wei asked back: "Pei Yan, do you want to say that the prime minister is above the imperial power?"

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only were foreign relatives and eunuchs, but also powerful ministers and important generals. Take a look at the promotion of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. What role did the important generals and powerful ministers play in the middle? So Li Shimin used the Hu people to suppress Li Ji and Li Jing, and before his death, he said to Li Zhi, "I will distribute Li Ji to the local area as a small governor. If there is no complaint, you will immediately appoint him and show your kindness to make him your trust. If there is any complaint, kill him immediately. There are too many cases of similar generals and powerful ministers seizing power in history.

Punishing this disadvantage, since the Sui Dynasty, the power of the prime minister was gradually cut and weakened. Only in the Tang Dynasty did the system of three provinces and six ministries exist, but it was inconvenient and it was impossible to come out of a political affairs hall. The emergence of the political affairs hall was a return to the power of the prime minister, rather than a weakening.

Li Wei said just one sentence, Pei Yan immediately bowed and retreated, saying, "I dare not."

The emperor asked it didn't matter, once it was passed into the empress dowager's ears, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After this question and answer, no minister dared to ask again.

The last section of Danshui Canal begins construction.

The books that Li Wei took out were also successfully published into a book. But except for the math book written by Li Wei, no one noticed the other books, and at most they were curious to read them. Even though this math book opened its eyes and spread quickly, it was at least almost everyone saw its contribution to accounting.

But no one regards it as an authoritative doctrine. If it were not written by the emperor, it might even be ignored. Arithmetics were also taught by the Imperial College, but it was not the Nine Classics. If Li Wei compiled a book like "The Book of Rites" and the school examination, it would have caused a greater sensation than this math book.

Summer passed quietly.

Pei Xingjian's plan also began to be effective.

When Ashidewenbo heard all the rumors on the grassland, he was very dissatisfied and sent someone to blame Ashina Funian. Ashina Funian sent an envoy to reply, "It's because I was not strong in fighting, and the Tang Dynasty's army was so brave. You have witnessed it with your own eyes that I have suffered nearly 10,000 people in the Tang Dynasty army. What else do you want me?

This answer made Ashdewinbo very dissatisfied with it. If I hadn't designed it, how could you achieve great victory? Today, you don't count both ends of the rat, but you will have to take the credit for it. So I sent an envoy to ask.

Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenbo each held an army, but overall, the number and quality of the troops under Wenbo were far better than those in Funian. Under the pressure of Ashina Wenbo, Ashina Funian again went out of Hebei and attacked Cao Huaishun. Eat persimmons and pick the soft ones. Pei Xingjian's main army, Funian, dared not chew, picked Cao Huaishun's army again.

In fact, the head coach of Hengzhou had already replaced Liu Jingtong at this time. He was born in a poor and unconventional manner. After he was promoted, he was cautious and afraid of making a mistake. Seeing the arrival of Ashina Funian's army, he just stood by the checkpoint and blocked it with the danger of the city wall. Ashina Funian's army was blocked. But he did not expect that Pei Xingjian's plan appeared and finally used it.

The Tiel tribe began to move south, and Asuna Funian led the army out again. However, after scouts' investigation, Pei Xingjian learned precious news that Asuna Funian's wife, children, and the families of the chiefs of each tribe were all in Jinya Mountain. They took the Asuna Funian's army to attack. When the rear was empty, Cheng Wuting and He Jiami were sent to take up Jinya Mountain. They immediately captured all Auna Funian's family. He heard about this, Asuna Funian retreated in panic.

Pei Xingjian ordered Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu to send a large army and then pursue it. When Ashide Wenbo heard this, he screamed and led the army to rescue him. Pei Xingjian also set off with the main army in time and surrounded the two units again. Ashide Wenbo felt something was wrong and was about to go to Yinshan and run to the desert. However, at this time he heard another bad news. The Tiel tribe in the northern desert dispatched a large army and continued to come south, almost reaching the foot of Yinshan. Cut off the way out!

But Pei Xingjian had not yet fought immediately.

In a secret letter to Li Wei, Pei Xingjian also mentioned this. The Turkic warlord and the deadly hard-working faction were Ashide Wenbo. Ashina Funian had never been very strong in his rebellion. He used his rebellion to make a gap. At least four-fifths of the chief leaders of each tribe were like Ashina Funian. Anyway, it was difficult for the Turkic tribe to find a loyal minister like Ashina Sheer.

It also vaguely stated that the situation in the Turks was worse. It was not Ashide Wenbo, as long as someone waved the banner, if the Tang Dynasty policies were not implemented properly, the Turks would still plot to rebel.

Li Wei’s reply was only three words, and he knew.

Whether the Turks can become border damage is mainly in the court. If they continue to develop like they are now, the court will be in a state of division, and there will be no unified policy for the Turks, and sooner or later it will harm them. If they control all the power, the Turks will rebel and support them, on the contrary, they will become the largest training ground for the Tang Dynasty army.

Pei Xingjian began to surrender Ashina Funian. His soldiers were already poor, and his wife, children and young people were under the control of others. There was also the persecution of Ashina Funian. Ashina Funian had to secretly sing the envoy to come and deliver the surrender letter. But he did not surrender as soon as he wanted to surrender. In his battle, he killed and injured nearly 10,000 Tang troops and achieved brilliant results. What would the Tang Dynasty think in the future?

I negotiated with my advisers.

Then he sent someone to notify Ashide and the main chiefs to come to the tent to discuss matters. Ashide Winbo did not remember that the situation had become very bad. Whether to fight or escape, there was always a discussion. So he led these chiefs to Ashinafunian's camp.

"What should I do?" Asanna Fu Nian met and immediately asked this sentence.

"If you weren't merciless and defeating the Tang army in Hengshui, Hebei would be shocked. If Pei Xingjian's army rescued Hebei, Shuofang would be empty. We will attack Shuofang calmly. If we don't rescue and attack several prefectures and counties in Hebei in the Tang Dynasty, we can get a lot of wealth, food, and supplies. Our army's momentum is greatly boosted. How can we do what we do today?" Ashide complained.

"If there is such a good fight, why haven't you made any big noise yet?"

Ashder made a lot of sense, but Ashner made a lot of sense. You have more troops than me, so why do you let my army be cannon fodder?

The two sides began to argue. Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Ashina Funian threw the wine glass and countless soldiers rushed into the tent. The soldiers who were ambushing outside also began to take action. After a fierce battle, Ashina Funbo and several leaders were captured, and the hundreds of soldiers brought were also killed by Ashina Funian's subordinates.

At this time, Ashina Fu Nian had to surrender even if he didn't surrender.

It was the leap month of July, and the normal year was August. Nearly five months have passed since the Battle of Hengshui. The weather outside the pass became colder. Some soldiers also began to be anxious. Although they sent troops and formed a siege, Pei Xingjian did not take the next step. After a while, the weather became colder and gradually became colder, and the battle would become beneficial to the Turks.

Some soldiers began to react, but Pei Xingjian just smiled and did not answer.

A magical scene appeared. At the end of the leap month of July, the scout saw a large cloud of smoke rising from afar.

Immediately came back to report, and after hearing this, the soldiers climbed up to the high ground to watch. At this time, they were already outside the border, not far away, there was a small Gobi Desert, with the autumn wind being strong. Suddenly, a large cloud of smoke and dust floated up and moved quickly toward this side. When the wind blew, the smoke and dust looked even more powerful. The generals were afraid that they would go back to guard against the main army of the Turks, thinking that it was the main army of the Turks coming to attack the Tang Dynasty camp.

Pei Xingjian said, "Don't panic, this is the Turkic people coming to surrender, but if you are surrendered, you have to be careful."

He ordered the soldiers to wait for the battle. After a while, smoke and dust arrived in front of him. Then Ashina Funian turned over and dismounted, and hid in front of Pei Xingjian and said, "Master Pei, Ashina Funian was bewitched by Ashina Funian, and he actually planned to rebel against the Celestial Empire. He deserved to die. In order to ask the Celestial Empire to forgive him, he will now tie up Ashina Funbo and his main culprits to seek forgiveness from the Celestial Empire."

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no great thing. Get up." Pei Xingjian helped him up.

Ashide was captured with the main leader, Ashina Funian surrendered, Ashina Dao was truly pacified, and the Turks immediately lost their fighting intention. Pei Xingjian calmly ordered the tribes to sweep the rebel tribes. Originally, they lacked the fighting intention, but then they lost the leaders. Just like the white snow of the spring, the rebel tribes were immediately suppressed.

When the news reached the capital, Li Zhi was overjoyed and had a banquet for the ministers.

Then the soldiers were commended, but then an imperial edict was issued, asking Pei Yan to be the chief minister, Xue Yuanchao and Cui Zhiwen to be the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. This was the first time in several years that the generals had been mobilized. But the spearhead was not directed at Li Wei, but at Pei Xingjian.

The battle in Qinghai turned the tide, and eventually brought the situation to the development of the war in a direction that was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. The first expedition of the Western Turks was without bloodshed. The second expedition of the Eastern Turks, the victory of Heishan was brilliant. The third expedition of the Eastern Turks was even more magical and incredible. Even the soldiers rarely took actual combat. Pei Xingjian had replaced Liu Rengui and became the number one war god of war in the Tang Dynasty. However, this war god was very disgusted with the Queen Mother and was Li Wei's number one confidant. Therefore, Li Zhi made a small move.

Li Wei was very angry when the edict was issued.

In this way, Pei Yan became the first chief of the Menxia Province, but also became the number one prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall. The Secretariat of Secretariat was controlled by Xue Yuanchao, and Liu Rengui was only the Left Pushe, and although his position was high and powerful, he was very light. So he also issued a series of bookmaking in the East Palace.

Wei Zhigu was appointed as the Minister of Rites, Wei Silian was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Yao Yuanchong was appointed as the minister of the court, Ximen Chong was appointed as the left supplementary court. Xu Yougong, who was used peacefully, was appointed as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Justice, and Zhang Jianzhi was appointed as the chief of Yongzhou. As well as more than ten other people, they all had extraordinary talents.

This is a counterattack against Li Zhi's mobilization of the prime minister.

This mobilization allowed Li Zhi to take into account the consequences and no personnel changes occurred.

But not long after, Pei Yan handed over another report, which was written by Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu. It was said that Pei Xingjian was greedy for the merits of the two of them. Ashina Funian surrendered because Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu's army attacked each other, and the Uighurs went south to encircle. Ashina Funian was embarrassed and had to surrender to Pei Xingjian. He had nothing to do with Pei Xingjian.

In the book, a big uproar.

The superiors and subordinates in the Tang Dynasty army often had their contributions. Cheng Wuting was a favorite general under Pei Xingjian. Zhang Qianxu was not only a heavy general under Pei Xingjian, but also Li Wei introduced him to him, helping Li Wei break through the Tubo siege and kill the brave general who was born in heaven.

These two people wrote a letter to increase credibility. People who don’t understand the inside story began to have a lot of discussion.

After this incident, those who originally planned great achievements for Pei Xingjian had to stop. However, in order to protect the face of the country, they did not send anyone to investigate the matter with the "censored ugliness". Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu Governor General Zhang Qianxu, and asked Pei Xingjian to escort Ashina Funian and Ashina Wenbo and other fifty rebels back to Beijing.

...

This change was unexpected by ministers loyal to Li Wei's faction.

Wei Yuanzhong and Di Renjie joined forces to enter the East Palace, and when they met, they said, "The Empress Dowager is heading straight for military power."

The generals in the army did not know the details. In order to keep it confidential, Pei Xingjian never told others about specific arrangements. In addition, Zhang Qianxu's fanning and igniting fire, most of the people would inevitably turn to Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu. This is similar to the concept of later generations. Most of the soldiers came from the bottom of society, and the upper class was inaction or were unkind, so most of the soldiers at the bottom also had a sense of hatred for the rich. It was not necessary that all soldiers turn against each other, but through the hands of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, most of the northern troops could be controlled by Wu Zetian remotely.

The most terrifying thing was that something happened suddenly. Before, no one knew about it, including Pei Xingjian.

Moreover, Zhang Qianxu's turnaround made Li Wei unable to speak out, because he was his direct general.

"Wei Qing, Di Qing, I suddenly understood why my mother wanted to kill someone."

Although he knew that Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu were two rare generals, and that the country had fewer and fewer generals like them, Li Wei also had the idea of ​​killing these two people at this moment.

"Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer..."

Wei Yuanzhong said anxiously. Therefore, the emperor was confident because he was in the military and could not mobilize all the troops in the country, but many military generals could obey his command. But after a change, Cheng Wuting trained him for another one or two years. After returning to Beijing, he used his confidant to replace the imperial guards in the capital and then served as a general of the Yulin Army. Everything could happen.

"I have my own sense of responsibility." Li Wei said slowly.

Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong were not very proficient in military affairs. Liu Rengui was excluded and was in a bad mood at this time. He had to wait until Pei Xingjian returned to the capital before discussing.

In October, Pei Xingjian finally took a group of criminals to the capital. No matter what, Li Zhi was still very happy. In the blink of an eye, the riots outside the pass returned to calm. So he changed the year name from Yonglong to Kaiyao. The change of this year's number also means that he wanted to re-Fengshan again. It was just that the matter had not been long, so I was embarrassed to raise it.

Then he accepted Pei Yan's suggestion, believing that the Turks rebelled and returned, mainly because the court showed their kindness, but did not show their power, so he advised Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenbo to kill the Eastern Capital to show a warning. Pei Xingjian was shocked when he heard this and said, "Hunjun is a shame for his achievements in ancient and modern times, but he is afraid that he will be surrendered, and there will be no one to come again."

Hunjun competed for merit and pointed out that the Western Jin Dynasty attacked Wu. Wang Hun and Wang Jun attacked King Sun Hao of Wu. Wang Jun was brave and decisive, and went downstream from Wuchang and recovered the capital of Wu Jiankang in one fell swoop. The next day, Wang Hun had time to cross the river and sued Wang Jun for not being controlled. Sima Yan favored his son-in-law Wang Hun and did not blame Wang Hun, but rewarded Wang Jun as a peacemaker. So both of them were dissatisfied and fought for their achievements, which was ridiculed by people at that time.

Li Wei had just heard of this and left the East Palace to stop him. However, it was too late and presented fifty-four bloody heads.

The consequences of this destruction are very serious.

The Tang Dynasty's policy on the Turks was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Turks. At that time, Jie Li did many evil deeds and did not kill them, but instead granted officials and titles. As a result, many talented generals of the Turks were attached to the Tang Dynasty. It was not that it was right, and it brought a series of bad negative effects. But the policy had been implemented. From the south of the desert to the north of the desert, millions of Turks were thinking about this policy of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, what would the Turks have in their hearts?

Moreover, the tribes such as Turks and Tuyuhun are not like the people in the Central Plains. Even if they kill their people, as long as they treat their leaders well, there is basically no big problem. However, because of their traditional habits, no matter how good they are to their people, as long as they kill their leaders, they will have great dissatisfaction and hatred. After Li Wei captured He Sugui in Qinghai, he was very angry, but he did not kill him. Instead, he was executed with the help of Nuo Hobo's hand.
