Yunzhou, the residence of the military envoy.
The study was quiet, with several people sitting in silence.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang broke the silence and sighed: "The most prosperous Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty has passed, and it has begun to decline."
Guo Ziyi couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, is it really so serious?"
Zhang Shouyu also asked: "Yes, Lord Marquis, although there are treacherous ministers in the court, there are still many loyal ministers and generals in the court and the public.
Even though Your Majesty is old, isn't there still a prince?"
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Zhang Shouyu and said: "Whether a country is strong depends on its comprehensive national strength.
In today's dynastic era, the first prerequisite for whether the comprehensive national strength is strong is to see whether the king is wise, wise and wise, the emperor is wise and powerful, and the court policy is If there is stability, politics will be clear; on the contrary, no matter how good the system is and how many loyal generals there are, it will be in vain.
This is like a The combat effectiveness of a lion king leading a group of lions is definitely much greater than that of a sheep leading a group of lions.
Unless something is done to abolish and establish a heroic and wise man as the emperor, can we do it?
Since childhood, adults have taught us We must be loyal to the king, patriotic, and diligent in royal affairs.
Loyalty has become the strongest consciousness deep in our minds.
Even until death, we will not be able to touch this bottom line."
If it were normal times, Zhao Ziliang would never say such things.
Once these words were spread, it would definitely be a serious crime of beheading.
However, these people here are our own people, and Zhao Ziliang only said it at this time because he trusted him from the bottom of his heart.
Obviously, these words had a great impact on several people present, and the one who suffered the greatest impact was Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi was the one who had the deepest education in loyalty to the emperor among these people.
His face was pale and his lips were blue on his forehead.
"Master Hou, can we only watch the Tang Dynasty weaken day by day?"
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Your Majesty trusts Li Linfu and others too much, and this person is very good at plotting and framing things, and he will please the emperor.
In terms of trust, we people can't keep up with Li Linfu and others, even the prince is everywhere Being suppressed and attacked by him, the prince's right and left-hand men have now been removed.
Those of us who want to confront Li Linfu are tantamount to striking an egg with an egg against a rock.
There is currently no good way, so we can only do our best and obey fate."
Guo Ziyi was very excited.
He stood up and said angrily: "Master Hou, even so, we can't just watch Li Linfu bring trouble to Chao Gang."
Zhao Ziliang smiled bitterly and said: "Ziyi, you think too highly of me, Zhao Ziliang.
It's not that I, Zhao Ziliang, cherish my feathers and can't bear to be a high-ranking official.
With our current strength, if we want to compete with Li Linfu in the ring, we are courting death.
Death is easy.
We have to do it now."
Our purpose is not to seek death, but to keep this useful body to accumulate strength, and then pull Li Linfu down when we become stronger."
After hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.
Gao Xiuyan immediately asked: "Master Hou, what should we do?"
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "We can't get involved in the affairs of the court now, and we can't.
With the prince and others restraining Li Linfu, there shouldn't be any big changes in the court situation for the time being.
What we have to do now is to do everything we can.
It is possible to eliminate external factors that threaten the Tang Dynasty.
The main ones in the surrounding area that are hostile to the Tang Dynasty are Tubo, the Western Regions, the Mobei tribes, and the Shiwei and Jiemo tribes in the northeast.
We have General Wang Zhongsi, General Fumeng Lingcha, and General Lai Zhen to deal with the great food country of Fan and the Western Regions.
We don’t need to worry.
There is Anlu Mountain in the northeast to watch.
There shouldn’t be any big troubles for the time being, so what we have to do now is to deal with it.
The Mobei tribes should try to weaken their strength as much as possible.
Once something happens within our country, these surrounding enemies will not be able to cause harm to our country because they are weak or too busy to take care of themselves."

Gao Xiuyan clapped his hands and said, "Master Hou is right.
If we eliminate the surrounding external threats, even if there are major changes within the court, we don't have to worry about external threats."
Guo Ziyi frowned and said: "Master Hou, except for the remnants of the Turks who are hostile to our dynasty, all the other tribes in Mobei are quite honest.
Do we have to eradicate these tribes?"
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and said: "Huh, Tongluo, Pugu, Guligan, etc. are too weak and have no power.
We don't have to worry about them, but Huihe, Baximi, and Donggeluolu are all big clans with strong strength. , and the strength of Pei Luo and A Shi Nashi and Wuli are all rebellious and ambitious people.
They are currently restraining each other and have the enemy of the remnant Turks, so they surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Once one of them annexes other tribes, When you become stronger, you will They will definitely rebel against our government.
Do you know why this general promised that whoever can destroy the remnants of the Turks will be asked to be crowned the Lord of the Grassland by the emperor?
The purpose is to make them kill each other and weaken their strength as much as possible.
Among these three people, the strongest Pei Luo's great talent and strategy , if we let him grow up, I am afraid that the northern part of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to be quiet again.
Therefore, Huihe, Baximi, and Eastern Geluolu cannot stay.
Even if they cannot be eliminated, they must be severely injured and driven away.
Go west or north” After hearing Zhao Ziliang's plan, several people couldn't help but nodded, but Zhang Shouyu said worriedly: "Master Hou, these three tribes are now surrendered to our court.
If we attack them without the court's permission, then what will happen to them?"
I'm afraid it won't end well, and the Marquis will be the first to be attacked and annihilated by the courtiers.
It's a trivial matter not to protect his title and official position.
I'm afraid his life will be in danger."
Zhang Shouyu's worry is not unreasonable.
The attitude towards the tribes in Mobei is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty.
This national policy will not be changed easily unless some major changes occur.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has always regarded itself as a country of benevolence and righteousness.
They will not take the initiative to attack other small countries and tribes first, but if such a thing really happens, it will be because the generals make their own decisions.
The court will never allow disobedient generals to appear.
Whether the final blow is light or heavy, no one can Not sure.
Zhao Ziliang said leisurely: "So, I have decided to recommend you as the Protector of the Shanyu Protectorate and the Lord of Zhenbei City.
Even if I am no longer in Mobei, you can continue to guard Mobei.
As long as you can eliminate the threat from the north, I will Even if the general loses his rank and rank, what does it matter?"
Several people were shocked, and Zhang Shouyu said anxiously: "Master Hou, how can this be possible?
Mobei cannot live without Master Hou."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "No matter who is missing in this world, the sun still rises from the east every morning.
Wouldn't you all be able to live without me, Zhao Ziliang?"
Several people were silent.
Zhao Ziliang continued: "Okay, it's settled.
Tomorrow the Japanese general will write a memorial and recommend Zhang Shouyu as the governor of the Shanyu Protectorate and the lord of Zhenbeicheng.
Gao Xiuyan will take over as the envoy of Datong, and Guo Ziyi will take over as the envoy of Kelan.
They will be promoted.
Liu Zhengchen took over the Yunzhong Shouchu Envoy" Zhang Shouyu, Guo Ziyi, Gao Xiuyan and others had no choice but to obey Zhao Ziliang's arrangements.
Early the next morning, everyone went back to prepare for their new posts.
After Zhao Ziliang wrote the memorial, he sent someone to Chang'an as a rush.
Not long after he arrived in Mobei, the court received a reply.
He His recommendation was approved by Xuanzong.
After receiving the appointment, Zhang Shouyu immediately rushed to Beicheng, Mobei Town, while Guo Ziyi, Gao Xiuyan, Liu Zhengchen and others also rushed to Kelan Army, Datong Army and Yunzhong Shouchuo to take office respectively.
Two months later, on July 20th, Zhao Ziliang summoned all tribes in Mobei to attack the remnants of the Turks in the name of Zhenbei Houfu.
Bahmi attacked from the northwest, Uighurs attacked from the north, and the Tang army attacked from the south and east.

Among them, Gu Li Gan, Pu Gu, and Tong Luo all sent troops to participate in the battle.
On the second day of August, Ashina Shi, the chief of Bashmi, led his army to first come into contact with the Turkic army.
They fought with the army of the Turkic White Eyebrow Khan at Udqian Mountain.
The White Eyebrow Khan was defeated and was killed in the chaos.
The Turkic army was divided.
Several groups fled, some were killed in the battle, some surrendered, and some fled south and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
On the fifth day of August, at the foot of Wudeqian Mountain.
Endless large tents stood at the foot of the mountain, and there were military camps everywhere.
In the main tent of the Tang Army, Zhao Ziliang held a wine bowl and smiled at Bashmi Chief Ashina Shi: "Hahaha, Ishi Khan, congratulations on defeating the Turks and killing Baimei Khan.
Tomorrow the Japanese general will Submit a letter to the emperor to confer you the title of King of Mobei.
Let us congratulate Jiedi Yishi Khan on becoming the King of Mobei."
The leader of Tongluo, the leader of Pugu, the leader of Guligan and others all picked up their wine bowls and stood up to toast Jiediyishi Khan to express their congratulations.
The Uighur leader Guli Peiluo and the eastern Geluolu leader Wuli looked a little ugly. , in this battle, the two of them also contributed a lot and lost a lot of troops, but in the end, Bathmi took the lead.
Jiediyishi Khan was overjoyed and refused everyone's toast.
Zhao Ziliang also sent people to find prairie girls to perform songs and dances during the banquet.
The leaders of various ministries watched the songs and dances, drank wine and ate meat, and were very happy.
As the saying goes, "Some families are happy, some are sad."
This is exactly what the current situation is.
Jiedi Ishi Khan and his people were so happy that they couldn't find their way around.
Not only did they get almost all the prisoners and trophies, but they also occupied the Formerly a Turkic territory, the Uighurs and the Eastern Geluolu Everyone tried their best and suffered a lot, but got nothing.
This made Pei Luo and Wu Li both hate and jealous, but what could they do?
Zhao Ziliang had already said, whoever kills Bai Mei first will be the winner.
Khan, after destroying the Turks, suggested to the emperor who should be crowned King of Mobei.
After the war, all the grassland tribes returned to their own territories, and the armies of all ethnic groups at the foot of Wudeqian Mountain quickly dispersed.
While Zhao Ziliang led the army back, he sent people to deliver good news to Chang'an.
Returning to Zhenbeicheng, Zhao Ziliang summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"Now that hatred has been planted between Bathimi and Huihe and Eastern Geluolu, it's time to put down the bait.
Come on, send people to invite the bone strength Peiluo and Wuli to come to the north city."
