Chapter 403: Crusade against the Uighurs
"From the news sent back by the Jinyiwei, Poyan died of natural causes, not murdered by him. After Poyan died, Bisudu joined forces with the Uighur anti-Tang forces to seize the power of the Uighurs."
"Even Bisu, who was still in grief, had no time to react before Bisudu completed the seizure of power, and Bisu was even imprisoned by Bisudu." Li Chengqian said.
When Poyan was alive, the power of the Uighurs was firmly in Poyan's hands. He had experienced the era when his cousin Wuhe killed his father and seized the power of the Uighurs.
In order to prevent his father's incident from happening again to him, Bisudu was suppressed while he was alive.
When Bisudu was still alive, he did not have the courage to seize the throne and power.
The Hu people believed in the jungle law of the survival of the fittest. They worshipped the strong. For thousands of years, the Hu people's political power came through mutual competition.
Just like the wolf king in a wolf pack, when the head wolf feels that he is strong enough, he will challenge the wolf king. The winner will become the new wolf king, and the loser will be expelled.
The Hu people's political power transition is different from that of the Han people. Most of the time, they seize power through force.
In the competition between brothers, uncles, nephews and nieces, the winner kills the loser, and not only inherits his status and power, but also inherits everything.
The Hu people will only bow down to the strong, and no one will stand up to feel sorry for the losers, let alone take revenge.
Therefore, only if you are strong enough, no one will dare to think about your rights, status, women and everything that belongs to you.
"If only the Uighurs rebelled, it would be fine. With the strength of the Yanran Protectorate, it should be no problem to suppress the rebellion. What I am worried about is whether other tribes have also participated in the rebellion?" Li Ke said.
"The news from the Jinyiwei said that Bisudu also persuaded several tribes such as Tongluo and Pugu to rebel, but there are still many tribes waiting and watching. If Bisudu wants to tie these tribes to the same chariot, he must destroy the influence of the Yanran Protectorate in the Western Regions." Li Chengqian said.
"Bisu Du wants to quickly destroy the influence of Yanran Protectorate in the Western Regions. The fastest and most effective way is to raid Yanran Protectorate. Then Yanran Protectorate is in danger." Li Ke said. "
After the Eagle sent the letter, Jinyiwei immediately notified Yanran Protectorate. Whether they can escape depends on their luck!" Li Chengqian said.
"Who does my brother plan to send to quell the rebellion?" Li Ke asked.
"I have decided to send Zheng Rentai to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. He has quelled the rebellion of Sijie and other tribes before, and he is familiar with the situation in Mobei. He is the best candidate for the main general."
"I also plan to let Yanran Duhu Liu Shili, Zuo Wuwei General Xue Rengui as deputy commanders, and Honglu Qing Xiao Siye, Youtunwei General Sun Renshi to go to the army to quell the rebellion."
"Attack from multiple directions and quell the rebellion in the shortest time, and then let Bi Su take over the position of leader of the Uighurs and governor of Hanhai." Li Chengqian said.
"What are you worried about, brother?" Li Ke asked, he heard something else from Li Chengqian's words.
The rebellion of the Uighurs may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. There may even be something stirring up everything behind the scenes.
"The Tubo army has been stationed at the border of Tuyuhun. If we advance, we cannot take down Tuyuhun and are easily attacked by our army."
"If we retreat, we will be criticized by the opposition when we return to Qisu without any achievements. It will not be easy for Lu Dongzan to control the situation." "
In that case, Tubo is likely to fall into the internal struggle of powerful officials and cannot extricate itself. The Tibetan Zamp is no longer a child. He is probably dissatisfied with the Gul family's monopoly of power."
"Therefore, Lu Dongzan has no choice but to take down Tuyuhun and personally sit in Tuyuhun, so that he can stay in Tuyuhun legitimately without returning to Qisu."
"As long as we keep the military power firmly in our hands, no matter how dissatisfied Zamp is, he will have to swallow his anger, no matter it is the young Zamp or the Tibetan ministers." "
They can do nothing about Lu Dongzan who holds the military power outside. If we really dare to force Lu Dongzan, he might even bring troops back to kill us." Li Chengqian said.
"Royal brother, you think the Uighur rebellion is not a coincidence, but a conspiracy of Tubo, so that we have no time to care about Tuyuhun and put all our energy into suppressing the rebellion."
"Lu Dongzan can take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to seize Tuyuhun and complete his strategy of annexing Tuyuhun. In other words, it is very likely that Lu Dongzan was behind the seizure of the Khanship by Bisudu." Li Ke said.
"Not only the Uighurs, but also the Luo, Pugu and other tribes have Tibetans appearing, but we are not sure whether they are related to Tubo." Li Chengqian said.
"It must be related. It could even be Lu Dongzan who is behind this. As soon as Po-Ye died, Bisu-Du was able to control the Uighurs immediately, leaving Bisu-Du no chance to react."
"With Bisu-Du's ability, how could he convince or suppress other tribes, and make Tongluo and Pugu agree to Bisu-Du to join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke said.
If you say it has nothing to do with Tubo, no one would believe it. There is no such coincidence in the world. All tribes where Tubo people appeared basically rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.
These tribes that rebelled against the Tang Dynasty all had Tubo people, which is enough to show that Lu Dongzan was behind all this.
Who can say it's not true? All signs indicate that it was Lu Dongzan who was behind all this. In the rebellion of the Uighurs and other tribes, there were Tibetans.
This is why Li Chengqian was anxious to quell the rebellion of the Uighurs and other tribes as soon as possible. Lu Dongzan did this to cause more than just unrest in the Western Regions.
Lu Dongzan should have a bigger move next, that is, Lu Dongzan will have a bigger military action against Tuyuhun.
"Wang Quan, pass the edict!" Li Chengqian shouted.
Wang Quan immediately crossed his arms and saluted, saying, "Your servant is here!"
"Send the imperial edict, order the secretary to draft the imperial edict, order the general of the left guard Zheng Rentai to be the general commander of the Tiele Road, the protector of Yanran Liu Shenli and the general of the left guard Xue Rengui to be the deputy general commanders, the minister of Honglu Xiao Siye to be the general commander of the Xian'e Road, and the general of the right guard Sun Renshi to be the deputy general commander, to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion of the Uighurs and other tribes." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left, first went to the Secretariat to let the secretary draft the imperial edict, and then the officials of the three ministries verified and signed it before it was implemented.
Zheng Rentai, Xue Rengui, Xiao Siye and others received the military order from the Ministry of War and immediately set out to the northern desert.
