Wu Zetian was a very decisive person. Once she made up her mind on something, she would take action immediately, especially for matters of great importance. After learning from Chen Yi that Li Xian wanted to seal the official positions of some other people or promote many people, including Wei Xuanzhen, Wei's father, Wu Zetian was furious, and the day after Chen Yi said this , and called Li Xian to him. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian knew everything that he and Webster discussed in private. Li Xian was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and kept admitting his mistake. He was also clever and put all the responsibilities on Wei's head, saying that Wei had been requesting him from time to time to promote Wei Xuanzhen to official positions and to give special care to other members of the Wei family. He could not be beaten. , and finally had no choice but to agree. Because Wu Zetian heard Chen Yi say these things earlier, she did not fully believe what Li Xian said when she cried and cried in front of him. However, Li Xian was already frightened, and she did not say anything bad in return, but just rebuked him in person. Li Xian said a few words, asking him not to be deceived by people around him. If he was undecided about major matters related to the fate of the country, he could come to ask her as the queen mother; if he was unable to make a decision on the appointment of personnel, he should also come to ask her. As a mother-in-law, she had handled state affairs on behalf of the late emperor for many years. She was very experienced in these matters and could make decisions for Lee Hsien Na. Of course, Li Xian understood the meaning of his mother's words. In extreme panic, he could only agree and promised that if he had any undecided matters in the future, he would definitely ask his mother. However, he also tentatively asked if he would disturb his mother's rest by doing this. If he disturbed his mother's tranquility, he would feel very guilty. Wu Zetian didn't know what her son was thinking, so she just replied calmly, saying that she had recovered well and no longer needed to hide in the palace to rest all day. In the end, Li Xian retreated in defeat and changed his temper again. He almost patted his chest and promised that whenever there was a major issue, he would ask Wu Zetian for her ideas. Only things that he thought were not important would he dare to decide in private. Wei Shi naturally knew that Chen Yi had told Wu Zetian about the matter, and felt angry and resentful in his heart. However, after listening to Chen Yi's explanations several times and the pros and cons. I also accepted it. ¡ª¡ª It has been two months since the Dingxiang Dao army set off, and there is continuous good news coming from the north! After the army passed Yunzhong City, where the Shanyu Protectorate is located, the expedition team The Tang army quickly launched an attack. When the Turks rebelled, they were very arrogant and dared to concentrate their forces to attack the cities where our Tang army was stationed. They even dared to attack Yunzhong City. Before the Dingxiang Dao army arrived. They also captured some small-scale cities and slaughtered all the defenders inside. However, facing those cities with tall walls, the rebels who were not good at attacking cities were powerless. Of course, Yunzhong City, which was guarded by about 8,000 troops, was extremely powerful. Difficult to conquer. Yunzhong City has not been captured by the rebels, and several nearby small and medium-sized cities are still under the control of our Datang army. The army led by Pei Xingjian and Liu Shenli can quickly pass through Yunzhong City. Go straight to the front line of Yinshan Mountain. When they heard that our Dingxiang Dao army was almost arriving near Yunzhong City, the Turkic rebels were frightened and retreated to the south of Yin Mountain. They stationed themselves near Yin Mountain and Daqing Mountain, hoping to avoid the sharp edge of our Tang army and wait for the cold weather. When it comes, think of ways to deal with my army, and even fight to the death. But Pei Xingjian will definitely not let the Turks get their wish. The army quickly arrived at Yunzhong City. Everyone thought that the commander-in-chief would order the army, which had marched for hundreds of miles without rest, to rest near Yunzhong City and wait for the follow-up supplies to be shipped. After the sergeants had rested and replenished food and other supplies, they would continue to march towards the army. March north to find the main force of the Turkic rebels for a decisive battle. But to everyone's surprise, when passing through Yunzhong City. Pei Xingjian's order was for the sergeant to pass at full speed without stopping. After passing Yunzhong City, Pei Xingjian also issued new combat arrangements, ordering Liu Shenli to lead 20,000 troops. Rushing directly to Daqing Mountain between Yunzhong City and Yinshan Mountain, preparing to eliminate the Turkic rebels in Daqing Mountain as soon as possible. Cheng Wuting and Zuo Qianniuwei General Li Xiaoyi each led 10,000 troops, bypassed Daqing Mountain and attacked from the east. Yinshan; the right Wuwei general Ashina Daozhen, the right leading army guard general Mangbuzhi, each with 10,000 troops, bypassed Daqingshan from the west and rushed towards Yinshan from the west; the left Jinwuwei generals Cao Huaishun and Shan Yudu The governor of the palace, Shi Xiaosiye, separated 10,000 men each and attacked the White Road of Yinshan Mountain as quickly as possible, trying to cut off the Turkic rebels' escape from the north of Yinshan Mountain into the desert. Pei Xingjian himself led the remaining 20,000 men to directly attack the troops stationed at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. The main force of the Turkic rebels. Pei Xingjian's arrangement was a surprise to his own men, and even more to the surprise of the Turkic rebels. When Liu Shenli was ordered to quickly attack Daqingshan, the Turks had no defense. There were more than 50,000 Turkic rebels stationed in Daqingshan. The people of the Tang Dynasty were quickly defeated under the rapid attack of Liu Shenli's troops. Our Tang Dynasty wiped out all these people without any effort, of course most of them.?? is a captive. Liu Shenli served as the governor of the Shanyu Protectorate for many years. He led his troops to put down many major and minor rebellions by the Turks. His reputation spread far and wide across the desert. He was also familiar with the situation in the Shanyu Protectorate. The Turkic rebels in the Qingshan area launched their attack from an unexpected direction, and the effect of the attack was naturally astonishing. When they heard that Liu Shenli was leading the attack, several Turkic leaders quickly gave up resistance and chose to surrender. The battle was not fierce, and there were not many casualties on both sides. In the end, nearly 50,000 Turks became prisoners of the Tang Dynasty and were taken to Yunzhong City. Liu Shenli, who had ended the battle at Daqingshan, immediately led his army to catch up with Pei Xingjian's troops who had passed through Daqingshan, and prepared to jointly attack the main force of the Turkic rebels led by Ashder Wenfu and Ashina Fengzhi! Dingxiang Dao's army advanced at an alarming speed. Ashina Wenfu and Ashina Fengzhi never expected that the Tang army would attack so quickly. Although they made arrangements, they were in the Daqingshan area between Yinshan Mountain and Yunzhong City. Fifty thousand men and horses were deployed for defense, and the troops at home were also prepared to attack the Tang army. However, they never expected that the 50,000 men in Daqingshan would be wiped out by the Tang army in one day, and the Tang army would attack them from several directions. Ashina's subordinates are stationed near Heishan in the Yinshan Mountains. They are almost a hundred miles away from Astwen Fu's department and further forward than Astwen Fu's department. His previous position also allowed him to experience the "tragedy" first. Taste, the Tang army from three directions raided his camp at night. Ashina, who had never expected that the Tang army would attack them at this time, was awakened in his sleep and was unable to organize an effective With no resistance, more than 100,000 troops quickly turned into a mob and were massacred by the Tang army. The final result was: Ashina was captured by the Tang army while serving his duties, and the pseudo-"Turkic Khan" Ashina who followed him was killed by his subordinates, and his head was presented to Pei Xingjian as a trophy. , with the exception of more than 10,000 people who fled to Baolang Mountain, the rest of the more than 100,000 troops were either wiped out or captured. After annihilating Ashina¡¯s ministry and cleaning up the puppet Khan Ashina, Pei Xingjian immediately reported the success to the court and stated that he would completely quell the Turkic rebellion before the New Year. After the two wars, almost 130,000 Turks have been taken prisoner. The main ones who started the rebellion were Ashina Fengzhi and Ashidewen Fu. The others joined in the fun or were coerced. Those who were bent on fighting against the Tang army were mainly Ashina Fengzhi and Ashidewen Fu, and the others. When the Tang Army attacked, it can be said that the Collaborative Army gave up resistance immediately, and all these tribe members became prisoners. Many captured Turkic leaders are already regretting that they really should not have followed Ashina Fengzhi and Ashide Wenfu to cause trouble. If they had left Ashina Fengzhi and Ashide Wenfu when the Tang army attacked and responded with the Tang army, then at this time they would be Pei Xingjian's guests instead of prisoners. Even when Ashina Fengzhi and Ashidewen Fu rebelled, if they did not take any action, the situation would be much better than now. At least the Tang army would treat them as Tang people, and they would not become Captive. But now there is no use regretting it. The more than 100,000 Turkic captives, together with the captured Tubo and Japanese people, will continue to carry out the great cause of contributing to the Tang Dynasty's infrastructure until they have redeemed themselves with their own labor. Until sin. Because there are so many new forces joining Datang, the pace of base construction will also speed up. The number of Turkic prisoners also continued to increase as the war progressed. After Ashina¡¯s subordinates were quickly annihilated by Pei Xingjian¡¯s troops, Pei Xingjian did not order his sergeants to rest and recuperate. Instead, he led his troops to move forward, preparing to encircle and annihilate Ashina¡¯s subordinates. Because of the extremely fast action, Ashina's subordinates and the remnants of the previously defeated Turks in Daqingshan did not have time to escape to Astwen's Fubu camp. Pei Xingjian's men and horses and other Tang troops who were outflanking had already attacked Astwen. Fu Bujin, this battle almost replicated the process of annihilating Ashina's ministry. It was also a one-sided massacre. The only difference was that Ashina's ministry was captured by the Tang army and captured alive on horseback. Astwenfu surrendered on his own initiative. After the Tang army attacked the camp and rushed into the camp from several directions, Astwen Fu, who was awakened from his sleep, immediately gathered his guards and prepared to escape. However, he could not escape and could only take the initiative to attack Cheng Wuting who was plundering the camp. Surrender, the whole process of the war was not as good as the annihilation of Ashina's minister. There were a total of 150,000 people in Astwin's army. When counting the results of the battle, it was found that there were as many as 145,000 captured Turks, which surprised Pei Xingjian and his generals. Pei Xingjian, who has been fighting for many years, has never had a record of capturing almost all his opponents in a battle. This is the first time that the fierce Turks have become a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered in front of the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. In several battles, not many Turks were killed. The total number of Turks killed was only more than 10,000.?But the Tang army's super attack power and powerful weapons have been a scene in the Turks' nightmares for a long time. "Haha, Pei Pushe fulfilled his mission and put down the Turkic rebellion in just over two months! The military might of our Tang army is so great that no one in the world can rival it!" This is what Wu Zetian said. Now when the ministers are discussing how to deal with the aftermath, they sigh with pride! (To be continued.)
