After all the orders were conveyed, Pei Min had been waiting in the Jiedu Office.

He was waiting for Li Longji's order.

The Jiedushi has great power, especially Pei Min, the Jiedushi, whose power is even more great.

In addition to the military killing of the Jiedushi, he also served as the Hexi Censor, able to interfere in Hexi administrative affairs.

But no matter how powerful the power is, there is a limit.

Pei Min's power is limited to Longyou and Hexi.

In other words, in Longyou, Hexi can "do whatever he wants", but after Longyou, Hexi means going beyond power.

Even if he knew that Anxi was in trouble, Pei Min could not send troops to Anxi for rescue.

The power of the Jiedushi is to defend the territory.

Strictly speaking, only when Hexi and Longyou encounter military threats and are attacked will the power in Pei Min's hands be reflected to the maximum extent.

Anxi is not Pei Min's obligation. Even if he knows the crisis in Anxi, he cannot send troops to Anxi directly.

Sixty-one commands are quick and decisive, but they all revolve around one point, and they can't go any further than the boundaries.

Wang Han is the highest-level military strategist under Pei Min. Pei Min has always trained him to the military staff and has always asked him to be responsible for military affairs.

After more than this year's training, Wang Hanben was very talented in this area, smart and very diligent, and first realized the purpose of Pei Min's series of commands.

"Does the young master feel that Ruiye City cannot be defended, or are he worried that the Anxi Army cannot resist the invasion of Tuqishi?"

Facing Wang Han's question, Pei Min revealed a hint of worry between his eyebrows and said, "Everything! It's almost a foregone conclusion that the Sailye City cannot be defended. It's not a precaution, and the army is facing an absolute disadvantage. As for the Anxi Army, I just hope that Meng Lingcha can respond calmly and not fight for a series of orders... But, it's unlikely."

Humeng Lingcha was Du Xian's deputy. Du Xian knew his abilities, but the court did not know.

Du Xian certainly hopes that Humeng Lingcha can take over his position.

However, the situation in the court was complicated. Not to mention Du Xian, even Pei Min dared not say that he could grasp all the trends.

Everyone has selfish intentions, how can a man without spiritual observation?

The deputy governor of the Anxi Grand Protectorate, the governor of Jixi, and the first commander of the military and political affairs of Anxi, the king of the Western Regions.

This seat is so tempting.

Now the Anxi Incident is the time to test the husband's spiritual test.

If Meng Lingcha could turn defeat into victory and lead the soldiers to overcome difficulties, it would be difficult to prove to the central government that Meng Lingcha was qualified to guard Anxi.

The position of deputy governor of Anxi Grand Protectorate and governor of Jixi is almost the only one.

However, the poor performance of Humeng Lingcha means that he is not enough to replace Du Xian and cannot be recognized by the court. Even if Du Xian affirms Humeng Lingcha's ability, it is useless.

Humeng Lingcha will definitely take this opportunity to show that he sent troops.

The Anxi Army was not large in number, but it was only over 20,000, and it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity.

Only by mobilizing the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, mobilizing troops from the countries affiliated with Khotan, Yanqi, and Shule, and jointly dealing with Tuqishi, can we have a chance of victory.

After all, Meng Lingcha is not Du Xian. He has just taken on a great task and cannot be recognized and convinced by the countries in the Western Regions.

The general does not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the general, and the three armies do not return. Unless Meng Lingcha has the wisdom and command level of Han Xin and Li Jing, the chance of victory is really worrying.

Just as Pei Min was waiting for Li Longji's new round of orders.

The carrier pigeon also transmitted Pei Min's emergency military information to the imperial front.

When military information is conveyed, it just happened to be the morning court.

Li Longji discussed national affairs with civil and military officials, and suddenly received news from Pei Min, and the imperial court exploded.

"It's outrageous!"

Li Longji was furious. He claimed to be a wise ruler and consciously practiced civil and military achievements outside during his time, which made the people of the Tang Dynasty peaceful and the four barbarians surrender.

But he didn't expect that before he could be satisfied, he suddenly attacked the heavy army, which made his cheek hurt like a slap in the face.

"It's a hateful rebel! I think of him sincerity and will marry Princess Jiaohe, but I don't expect that in just one year, I will dare to invade my territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Longji looked at the Ministry of War and said, "The Ministry of War has not been affected by Anxi's situation?"

The Minister of War was confused and said, "I did not receive any information from Anxi. Maybe it was on the way! The Duke of the State Teleported with a flying book, which was faster."

Li Longji said: "What do you think of Duke Pei's request for me?"

The new prime minister Li Yuanhong said: "I think it is inappropriate. The situation in Anxi is not clear. Whether it is necessary to support is still unknown. When Duke Pei moves, the troops and horses of the Longyou are all moving, and the financial and material resources consumed are endless. If Anxi has the ability to protect itself and is enough to resist foreign enemies, and Duke Guo advances westward, wouldn't it be useless to waste financial and material resources?"

Yu Wenrong, Minister of Rites and Minister of Revenue, also said: "Li Pushe's words are reasonable. Our dynasty is in Anxi. When foreign enemies invade, the Anxi army and horses are responsible for resisting it. The situation in Anxi is not clear, so he mobilizes the army without authorization. If the Anxi army joins forces together to defeat the foreign enemy invasion, it will be fine, so it will be depressed. Moreover, the Anxi soldiers are disappointed. Moreover, the Anxi army has not yet reached its military situation, and it is inappropriate to just listen to the words of Duke Pei, but it is inappropriate to mobilize the troops."

Li Longji frowned slightly, hesitating slightly.

Prime Minister Zhang said this matter: "My opinion is different from that of Li Pushe and Yuwen Shilang. It is true that the Anxi Protectorate is responsible for the military affairs of Anxi, but before the deputy Protector Du Xian Ding resigned, and now everything in Anxi is under the responsibility of Hu Meng Lingcha. Hu Meng Lingcha Ganluo may not be as outstanding as Du Xian, and can command the countries in the Western Regions to resist foreign invasions."

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, Yu Wenrong immediately said: "Du Xian can recommend the husband Meng Lingcha, pay attention to showing that the husband Meng Lingcha is capable. Why is Zhang Xiang sure that the husband Meng Lingcha can't do it?"

In the court, intrigue is always inevitable.

As prime minister, Zhang said that his radical ideas of the army were different from the conservative concepts of many civil officials, and had inevitable contradictions.

Li Yuanhong and Yuwen Rong are such people.

They felt that Zhang Shuo, as the prime minister, had close contact with a foreign minister and did whatever he did, regardless of the people's livelihood, and attacked each other.

Zhang Shuo ignored Yu Wenrong, but continued to look at Li Longji and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Anxi's situation is no better than other things. Except for Sailed Ye and Kucha, all other places in Anxi are not completely under the control of our dynasty. We surrender to our dynasty because we believe that our dynasty can protect them. Therefore, we willingly accept our dynasty's dispatch and are willing to receive taxes and tribute to our dynasty, but if their people's country is robbed due to personnel replacement, what will they think? Will they feel that we are not able to protect them? The development of the Western Regions is the main direction of the future of our Tang Dynasty and we must not be confused."

"And, Your Majesty. Duke Pei's military strategy is well known. He is like Duke Wei during the reign of Emperor Taizong and Duke Xing during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. When it comes to military strategy, no one is right. He judged that there must be a reason for the need for rescue."
