At the end of the spring of the 22nd year, good news came from the front line. Uncle Cheng commanded the Great Protectorate. Asina Debin personally led the rebels, and together with the tribes, a total of 80,000 warriors conquered by the tribes, intending to execute the 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in a hundred miles south of the Shanyu Protectorate. However, Xue Rengui led tens of light cavalrymen, bypassed the army, and attacked the Shanyu Protectorate. At the cost of a thousand people, he retaken the Shanyu Protectorate into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Afterwards, Xue Rengui left behind 4,000 garrisons, personally led 5,000 elite troops to come from the backpack.

Uncle Cheng personally led 30,000 troops to fight 80,000 Turkic rebels head-on. At noon, Su Dingfang led 10,000 cavalry to attack the central army where Ashina Debin was. Ashina Debin was defeated, but Xue Rengui bumped into it, causing this show-like general to shoot down and almost die in the chaos. In the end, the Tang army was kind to rescue the pitiful old man whose limbs were trampled by his feet, and the 80,000 rebels naturally came to ashes.

However, Uncle Cheng would not have been able to return to Chang'an so easily. After joining together the 50,000 troops, he took all the tribes around the Shanyu Protectorate. Any tribes involved in the rebellion rushed and fled in scattered, but they could not escape the palm of the old hooligan Uncle Cheng, which instead created the record of Uncle Cheng killing 30,000 enemies and capturing more than 200,000 enemies.

Well, the moisture is quite large, at least Uncle Li Jing and others all looked helpless. "The old man did this, and he was not afraid of letting the subdued tribes around the Tang Dynasty escape from fear." General Zhang Liang said hatefully.

Uncle Li Ji didn't care: "After that being said, I think that Lao Cheng did this. There is also his reason. The military reform of our Tang Dynasty is inevitable. Although Ashina Debin was a Turkic person, he was also a general of my Tang Dynasty. He did not obey the court orders, dared to collude with foreign races to cause rebellion, and even killed officials without causing such evil things. He would not shock him. Wouldn't the alien races look down on me at a glance? He also let the border towns measure and measure the army is the army of the Tang Dynasty, not the private army of anyone."

Moreover, Uncle Li kept smiling and didn't speak. It seemed that Uncle Cheng was so reckless, it was clearly because of his instructions, or the two old men who often quarreled with each other had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

"What Cheng Qing did this time was a little too much, but I don't think it's a big deal. This is good, and it can also shock some of the little people, so that some people will think that the internal chaos of the Tang Dynasty will be chaotic. Well, I will pass on my will and tell Cheng Zhijie that in addition to the strong and strong men, the rest will be released to me to the south of Jinyang, and then live there after they are dispersed. In addition, the rebels and the strong men will be sent to Longyou as servants to serve and sent to me for my behalf.

The Tang Dynasty built that cement straight road. I was worried about lack of staff. Hahaha..." Uncle Li smiled very much like a big slave leader. My back was cold. The poor Turkic people, what's wrong with it? Being a young Turkic man who had no military talent to rebel against the great and powerful Tang Dynasty was simply seeking death. It fell into the hands of Uncle Li, who is now collecting labor to develop and build. It would be a lot worse than death.

There are nearly 500,000 servants in the Tang Dynasty. They are building roads in various parts of the Tang Dynasty with tears in their hearts and tears. They have opened up a small half of the road from Guanzhong to Jiannan. Don’t underestimate this small half of the road. This cement straight road starts from Fengxiang Prefecture, connects Fengzhou, Xingzhou, and reaches Xingyuan Prefecture, which is Hanzhong in the Han Dynasty. More than 17,000 prisoners of war have fallen on this cement road that is only 600 miles long.

The prisoners of war still opened up the connection between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, which made a road barely appear in the Qinling Mountains, which originally took more than half a month to cross hard. At least, the carriage from Fengxiang Mansion can reach Hanzhong directly on the seventh day.

It not only strengthened the connection between the Tang Dynasty and Jiannan Dao, but also made the Tang Dynasty's siege of Tubo more complete, and the output of the wealthy Jiannan will also be transported to the most prosperous Central Plains region of the Tang Dynasty in a shorter time.

This battle did not cause much response, but the surrounding countries expressed appropriate concerns. For example, the Western Turks drove 100,000 cavalry to the north of Tingzhou by responding to the slogan of the Eastern Turkish Allied Army. However, they did not expect that as soon as Uncle Cheng left, the East Turkish rebels suddenly stopped. In addition, the tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty cavalry in the Anxi Protectorate were not just a joke. After receiving the news that the Anxi Protectorate, Ashinasheer personally mentioned that 30,000 cavalry came out of Gui Ci, and Guo Xiaoke led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to appear in Tingzhou, he surrendered the army in disgrace.

The poor Turks have been ugly in a row, and they are always hesitant, like a lame wolf, who wants to run into the backyard of the Tang Dynasty to catch three melons and two dates, and are also afraid that the hunter will use a hunting rifle to smash its butt.

"Western Turkic, hahaha, now, there is no more enterprising spirit, I hope he

Be a little angry, so as not to let my army go back and forth." Li's tone and the contempt that penetrated his bones made all the generals present grin full of joy.

Thinking back to the beginning, in August of the ninth year of Wude, just a few days after Uncle Li ascended the throne, the Turkic Li Khan took advantage of the opportunity of the replacement of the emperors of the Tang Empire and led 200,000 elite cavalry to invade Jingzhou again and drove straight into the sky. The troops were approaching the north of the Wei River Bridge, and they continued to send elite cavalry to challenge them. They also sent their confidants to the court to observe the reality and reality. How arrogant the Turks were at this time. However, within a few years, the feng shui changed, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty were so murderous that they entered the grassland. The Tang Dynasty's military god Li Jing personally led 3,000 elite cavalry to march in the blizzard in the cold and marching in the blizzard. Finally, the Tang Dynasty's complete victory and the Turkic breakthrough came. Since then, the Turkic people seem to have lost the courage to fight face to face with the Tang Dynasty, and they have escaped farther and farther away.

"Your Majesty, I think the one who is worried is not in the northwest, but in the southwest." The baton in Uncle Li Jing's hand fell on the sand table. The baton landed just as Tubo.

Uncle Li was slightly stunned: "Your dear, are you worried? This Tubo is just a turtle in the jar. How can there be any movement? Now, all the six tribes of Nanzhao have taken over me. In another three or five years, our Tang Dynasty will be able to completely control this place. At least with the Qiang people in Jiannan Road as a buffer, Tubo's dream of advancing east has long been broken. As for the Dongnu Kingdom and Tuyuhun, it is now the same as the prefectures and counties of our Tang Dynasty, but it is only allowed to retain the national name. Now Tubo is enemies on all sides, so what can there be a way to develop? In addition, since Songtsen Gampo was sick the previous year, it has become more and more heavy. Last year, I sent envoys to visit. Songtsen Gampo even needed someone to help get out of bed, and it was difficult to act. The king of the country looked like this and could not handle government affairs. Could it be that my dear thought they really wanted to do it?"

Uncle Li Jing's brows were locked tightly, and there was no slight relaxation because of the beautiful vision depicted by Uncle Li. After Uncle Li finished speaking, Uncle Li Jing smiled bitterly: "What I am worried about is not Songzan Gampo. Songzan Gampo is a man with great courage and wisdom, and can be regarded as a wise king. However, according to the news from Jinzouyuan, this Tubo king may not live this year, what will happen after he dies?"

"The son Gongsong Gongzan was already dead. Those who were qualified to succeed the throne were his two younger brothers, and his son Gongsong Gongzan's child Mangsong Mangzan. The younger brother was strong and the nephew was weak. If Songzan Gampo left, Tubo would not know if it would be a mess." Another old general also stood up and spoke, his two excited eyes flashed with two words full of war.

"Otherwise!" Li Jing's next sentence brought all the generals who were ready to move back to their seats. In the midst of everyone's doubts, Uncle Li Jing snorted: "Did you forget the wise minister in Tubo?"

"Lu Dongzan!" Uncle Li was stunned and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Lu Dongzan has not been at peace in recent years. Since Songtsen Gampo was sick the previous year, Lu Dongzan's actions have become increasingly bigger and bigger. Although everything is done on behalf of the king, the king is sick and unable to deal with political affairs. In addition, Songtsen Gampo has always favored him, which has greatly increased his reputation.

The private rumors that the leaders of Tubo tribes were secretly made friends with the leaders of the Tubo tribes, and the government orders were difficult to get out of the palace without the help of the prime minister, also entered the ears of the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty through the Jinzouyuan channel.
