Chapter 28 The mighty power
Lingwu is known as the "Jiangnan on the Frontier" and is the center of Shuofang, but in the final analysis it is just a stunning city on the hard border.
No matter how large the structure is, it cannot be compared with Chang'an, and it cannot accommodate too many soldiers.
Pei Min did not let the Uighurs and Gelulu's troops enter the city, but just asked them to station outside the city, leading the Uighur Khan King Chengzong, Gelulu Khan Ashinashi, Bai Mozhi, Yuchi Sheng and others from the Western Regions, plus the 200 elite soldiers he brought, Bai Mozhi and five hundred personal guards of Yuchi Sheng, to enter the city to meet Li Yan.
"Prince Prince!"
Chengzong was a little flattering and trotted to Pei Min.
Pei Min first hummed softly and then said, "Are you here too?"
Chengzong, the northern Khan, half bent over and tried his best to follow.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty who came to meet were shocked and changed their colors.
Is this the Uighur Khan in the northwest?
The Khan of the North who made them at a loss and had to compromise?
Why are they like kittens?
Chengzong smiled apologized and said, "When I learned that His Majesty Tian Khan was in danger, as the King of Fengyi and the Grand Governor of the Hanhai in the Tang Dynasty, how could the foreign minister not come?"
"Hmph, hypocritical villain!"
Pei Min didn't say anything, but Ashinashi beside him snorted coldly.
Chengzong's face changed slightly, but he did not dare to have an attack. He continued to smile and ignored Asunashi.
Pei Min didn't call Uighur at all this time. He was very clear about the strength in Li Heng's hands.
The ace in Li Heng's hand is the Shuofang Army. The Shuofang army has been in control of the border for a long time and is strong. As long as you instigate the Shuofang Army, the power in Li Heng's hand will be weakened by half.
In this case, as long as the troops and horses of the Western Regions are added to gain the upper hand, even Geluo does not need to be called.
But there is another reason to call Geluo, a bit of a bit of a arrogant Uighur. He wanted to let Uighur know that the Uighurs are prosperous today because of the Tang Dynasty's support. In the northern grassland, there is more than just a tribe of Uighurs. If you can support one Uighur, you can support the second one. Moreover, the arrival of Geluo can also support Li Yan's scene.
Let the civil and military officials of Lingwu and the people of the world know that Li Yan is recognized as the truth.
Li Heng, nothing is it.
But there was a leak of the news in somewhere. Chengzong rushed over with his old face and cooperated with Pei Min's actions.
Pei Min nodded and said, "It's good that you have this kind of heart!"
Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart also fell to the ground.
The vassal states of the Tang Dynasty today are the closest to the Tang Dynasty by Uighurs and Geluo.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Uighurs and Geluo fought to hold the thighs of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides were in the same situation.
Pei Min first chose the Uighurs, and the Uighurs were able to win the north.
After the rise of the Uighurs, they naturally had no good feelings for the competitor Geluo, and drove him out of the northern grassland. If it weren't for the intervention of the Tang Dynasty, Chengzong would have been determined to destroy it.
When Geluo arrived in the northwest, he still chose to hold the Tang Dynasty unswervingly. The Tang Dynasty also needed a foreign aid to consolidate the situation in the northwest and give considerable support, Geluo was able to recover his vitality.
In the two battles against Tuqishi and Arabia, Geluo made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
This move also attracted the attention of the Uighurs. Chengzong was worried that Pei Min would replace him with Geluo, so he bought his inner support in Geluo.
When he learned that Pei Min had been trying to get far away, he suddenly realized that it was not good. He did not care whether Pei Min summoned him or not, and delivered the goods to his door.
Pei Min ignored Chengzong, but followed Ashinashi beside him and joked without saying a word.
Ashina bowed, smiled happily, feeling flattered. However, Chengzong did not say a word and felt wronged.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty were stunned again.
Chengzong, Ashin Shi, a king of Northland Khan, with tens of thousands of cavalry, and a tiger in the northwest, and also had 50,000 elite cavalry in his hands. They were all powerful.
But they are following Pei Min at this moment, just like cats, dogs and pets.
Especially Chengzong, his sad and resentful expression was like an out of favored kitten.
Pei Min's reputation is well-known to the north and south. But they never thought that Pei Min's deterrence is still so terrible in front of foreign tribes.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the only one who has such deterrence in front of foreign races is probably the only one who has been in the past Tiankhan Li Shimin?
When the officials who were undecided saw this scene, their positions suddenly became firm.
Those officials who brainwashed Li Heng and were loyal to Li Heng became nervous, thinking about whether they should change their positions.
Under the leadership of Song Jing and Wei Jiansu, Pei Min came to Shuofang Prefecture, which was the temporary residence of the Tang Dynasty.
Under Li Heng's instruction, Li Yan was honored as the King of Qin. Although he was not an emperor, he enjoyed the same pompous treatment as an emperor, but in fact he was controlled by his side and placed under house arrest.
Before Song Jing and Wei Jiansu arrived in Lingwu in Shuofang in the future, Li Yan could not see any court official.
After entering the hall of the government office, Pei Min met Li Yan, who had been away for many years.
He asked Queen Wei to support him, his face pale, as if he had no strength to stand up straight.
Pei Min looked at Li Yan who was already unrecognizable, and was stunned and mixed with anger.
Li Yan is less than thirty years old this year, and looks like she is over fifty years old. Her hair is actually a little gray, and she looks older than Pei Min.
Li Yan was cowardly and unintentional by nature. During his reign, he encountered such great unrest and was still facing the enemy's troops. He was frightened and seriously ill.
Li Heng looked very caring about Li Yan, his younger brother, but in fact he kept reusing Shuofang Army to consolidate his control.
The Shuofang Army is responsible for the escort in the yard where Li Yan lives.
Li Yan was almost in fear day and night against Shuofang Army, and his body could not support him.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Li Yan looked at Pei Min and cried out directly. Wei, who pushed away, staggered towards Pei Min, just like a child who was bullied and wronged, he suddenly saw his father and ignored everything.
But he couldn't even stand, so he didn't have the strength to run.
Shi fell straight forward...
Amid a burst of exclamations, a figure flashed by.
Pei Min quickly stepped forward and supported him.
Li Yan looked at the savior in front of him in a panic, hugged him and cried loudly, and kept shouting: "I wrote several letters to my uncle, but he ignored me, thinking that my uncle didn't care about me..."
Pei Min's expression froze and he said softly: "Your Majesty, I'm late!"
He used the method of coaxing Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to stop Li Yan's tears and winked at Wei Shi.
The lady of the Wei family supported Li Yan knowingly.
Pei Min took three steps back and bowed carefully to the end, "My minister Pei Min, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Song Jing, Wei Jiansu, Li Linfu, and Zhang Yuangui followed him to visit.
Ashin Shin Shi, Chengzong, Bai Mozi, Yuchi Sheng and other foreign Khan kings also worshiped: "See the great Emperor Tian Khan..."
Some people followed the civil and military officials around him to worship, while some people hesitated.
