The military situation in the Western Regions was spread to Chang'an in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and this time it was at the court meeting.

Pei Min was talking to the civil and military officials in the temple about developing the details of Jiangnan, and the emergency military situation suddenly conveyed.

The civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar, and they did not expect that the war would stop. In just two years, there was a storm again.

Li Yan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also shocked. This was the first time he encountered this situation and couldn't help but exclaim: "How many soldiers do the enemy have? How many casualties do we suffer?"

This question is obviously very stupid.

The messenger is only responsible for the messenger, especially the 800-mile rush, which is a teleportation that replaces people and horses along the way.

When the messengers arrived at the capital, they didn't know how many rounds they had changed.

The real military information of the war report is sealed with gold paint and fire seals. The messenger is not the person involved. How to details?

Seeing the messenger looking confused, Li Yan said as if he was asking for help.

No one has more say in the military than Pei Min.

A moment of anger flashed in Pei Min's eyes. It was too bad for Arabs to attack this time.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the temple was not stable yet. He still had many things to do. There was a military disaster in the Western Regions.

He was heavy in his heart, but Pei Min smiled and said, "Your Majesty is beyond your reach. Arabia is just a defeated general under my command, so it is not worth mentioning."

After hearing Pei Min's statement in the court, Li Yan and the civil and military officials of the court were relieved.

Pei Min stopped what he wanted to say and took over the front line from the commander.

After scanning the golden lacquer and fire marks, they confirmed that they were intact, they opened them before they could not help but frown when they saw the letter.

As a literary scholar of his generation, he was somewhat particular about handwriting.

The words in the battle report are written crookedly, some are big and some are small, which is unsightly.

But when I saw the content of the letter, I felt a little heavy.

The battle report was naturally not caused by Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing.

Feng Changqing was poor since childhood, but was influenced by his grandfather and loved to read. He wrote good calligraphy, and even more so for Yan Gaoqing. As a descendant of the resurrection of the sage Yan Hui, there is no reason why the words are ugly.

The person who wrote this letter was Cheng Qianli, the subordinate of Feng Changqing. In the letter, he did not know the situation very well. He only knew that Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing went to the throne ceremony of the king of Shi Kingdom together.

As a result, a small Arab army somehow found the nearby area and attacked the capital of Shiguo Tuozhe City, trapping the kings of the Western Regions, Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing in Tuozhe City.

According to Cheng Qianli's investigation, there were more than 10,000 Arab surprise attack troops.

Pei Min passed on the battle report.

When Li Yan saw the letter, he said with ease: "Only ten thousand soldiers should be fine."

Many civil and military officials also breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the 80,000 troops in Hexi, there were 50,000 troops in Anxi and Beiting, and they would not suffer any losses.

Only a few, some people, have seen the key.

Pei Min and Li Yi are two of them.

Li Yi said: "Your Majesty, these ten thousand soldiers must be just like forces. Since Arabs are moving troops, they will not make small fuss, and it is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Originally, the official titles of the Tang Dynasty were all Dashi Kingdom.

But Pei Min couldn't change his words for a while. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are influenced by him. Even if it is official documents, they have changed the Great Food to Arabia.

Pei Min immediately agreed, "Your Majesty, I agree with Li Xiang's words. As far as I know, although Shi Kingdom is not a great country in the Western Regions, it is a handful of rich countries in the Western Regions. He sat in the northern part of Dayuan in the Han Dynasty in the past, from the north to the Western Turks in the east to the north, from the Bola border, and from the southwest to the Kangju border, and was a Western fortress. In addition, agriculture was developed, with many good horses and gems, and most of the residents were good at doing business, so they were rich. Because of their wealth, Shi Kingdom often understood the generosity of other countries and had excellent connections. If they ascended the throne, eight out of ten countries in the Western Regions would send people to participate, and it is very likely that the king would go there in person."

This stone kingdom is the country in history that promoted the Battle of Talas.

Shi Kingdom was very respectful to the Tang Dynasty and had been paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Tianbao, the king of Shi Kingdom sent his son-in-law, the leader of Kangguo, Tai Ran Myanmar, to offer prescription goods; in the fifth year of Tianbao, he sent another envoy to offer fifteen BMWs in Dayuan, and the deputy king of Shi Kingdom Yilatutunqu also sent an envoy to offer prescription goods; in the sixth year of Tianbao, he sent another envoy to offer horses. In the eighth year of Tianbao, he sent a prince farewell to the pass to pay homage, which can be said to respectfully fulfill the obligations of the vassal states.

However, Gao Xianzhi coveted the wealth of the Shi Kingdom and wanted to plunder it for himself, so he falsely accused King Shi Kingdom of no foreign ministers and captured the King of Shi Kingdom and his subordinates. Then he ordered troops to kill and loot, and even the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were unwilling to let go.

It was because of this battle that the Tang Dynasty lost its prestige in the Western Regions, which made the countries in the Western Regions rebellious. In the end, they joined forces with Arabia to capture the four towns of Anxi.

The Battle of Talas started from this.

Now that Pei Min is dominating the Western Regions, this situation naturally does not exist.

Yan Gaoqing's administrative methods were far better than Gao Xianzhi, who only understood military affairs, and he calmly appeased the countries of the Western Regions.

The Shi Kingdom was more respectful to the Tang Dynasty than in history. The court received congratulatory gifts from the Shi Kingdom every year, and the amount was not small.

Among the tribute gifts from the countries in the Western Regions, the gifts from a small country in Shi Kingdom are of the same level as the four ancient countries in the Western Regions.

The Shi Kingdom respected the Tang Dynasty so much that their new king ascended the throne. As the leader of civil and military affairs in Anxi, it was natural that Yan Gaoqing went to congratulate him.

If the countries in the Western Regions have good relations with the Shi Kingdom, they will naturally be invited.

As soon as Pei Min finished speaking, Song Jing first reacted, and he said in a lost voice: "Why do you think that the Western Regions are now in a situation where there are no leaders?"

"Not bad!" Pei Min said: "Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing are the top civil and military leaders of our dynasty in Anxi. I can't say how many people have participated in this ceremony. But with my understanding of the Shi Kingdom, they have made friends in the Western Regions, and there are no more few people. Now Arabs seized this opportunity and surrounded Zhecheng with one force, trapping the leaders of our dynasty and the Western Regions in the city, making many places in the Western Regions without a leader, which will inevitably cause chaos in the Western Regions. Based on my understanding of the lion, they came for the Western Regions and would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This 10,000 is just the vanguard, and the real army is still behind. He suffered a great loss, and this time he should have made sufficient preparations. At least 150,000 troops, or even more."

The government and the country were in an uproar.

Li Yan was also panicked and said, "Then, aunt, what should I do now? Even if Anxi and Beiting are only 50,000 yuan in total... How about the opponent?"

"The top priority! Immediately send more reinforcements to transfer Wang Zhongsi from Qinghai Lake to the Western Regions to temporarily stabilize the overall situation. As for Gao Xianzhi, I adopted a joint defense system in the Western Regions. I believe that he has already sent troops to Anxi at this moment. With the two of them in there, there will be no changes in the Western Regions for the time being. It's just..."
