With Li Neng's words, Zhang Xun and the others were relieved. They followed Li Neng and were not afraid of bleeding and suffering, but the only thing they were afraid of was that Li Neng had no ambitions.

With Li Heng's edict, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were obviously leaving Youzhou. According to the previous agreement between the three of them, the Shuofang Army and the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture must be taken away.

In this way, the only one who left Li Lan to clean up the mess on Hebei Road was left with nearly 50,000 soldiers, including the Yuyang Raider who surrendered Li Lan but Li Lan had never stated clearly.

Li Neng knew that Li Heng would never send him troops. After all, when Shi Siming escaped, he only brought less than 30,000 Yiluohe. On the surface, it should be no difficulty for Li Neng to clean up the mess on Hebei Road.

Before Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi left, Li Neng went back to Youzhou to see the two off. The three of them drank and chatted until late at night, but only the three of them knew what they said during the meal.

After Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi left, Youzhou was still handed over to Xu Yuan by Li Yan, and Xu Yuan was given a total of 20,000 troops to guard the city. He and Zhang Xun and others were still stationed in Fan Yang. It was not that Li Yan liked Fan Yang so much, but that when Li Heng's edict arrived in Fan Yang, Li Yan received a news that gave him a little headache.

After helping Xu Yuan destroy Shi Chaoyi's 50,000 troops, Mou En returned to his tribe. Originally, Li Wen wanted to wait until he stabilized the Hebei Road and thanked them with the two, but Mou En's news made Li Wen realize that he might have to pay back the favor he owed Mou En in advance.

Li Neng had imagined many places where Shi Siming took Yi Luohe before, but Mou En told himself that this was almost the place he didn't want Shi Siming to go the most.

It turned out that after fleeing outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming naturally entered the sight of Tongluo and Pugu tribes.

Such 20,000 to 30,000 extremely elite soldiers are of course a major concern for these two tribes, so Mou En and the leaders of the Tongluo tribe had discussed that they wanted to meet Li Yan as soon as Guo Ziyi and the others left. Then the troops of the three departments worked together to eliminate Shi Siming and the 20,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 outside the Tang Dynasty.

Mou En was almost certain that Li Wen would definitely support his plan at that time.

But the plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Although Shi Siming is not as good as Guo Ziyi, Li Qing and others, he is obviously not a pussy to stand out from the rebel generals.

He soon discovered a way that would make Li Yan and Mou En the most uncomfortable and very likely to have no choice. Of course, this also had certain risks, but Shi Siming was already in a situation of nothing at this time. He could bear the risk no matter how much it was.

So, while Li Yan was still dealing with the mess in Fanyang City, he led his army directly into the territory of the Uighurs. According to the detailed rewards of the Tongluo and Pugu tribes, the Uighur leader, the young Khan Mou Yu Khan, who had just taken office for less than a year, directly welcomed the Uighur territory.

Shi Siming directly defected to the Uighurs.

This news shocked Mou En and the Tongluo tribe. They were indeed ready to let the Uighurs know when they helped Li Qing make a series of attacks on Fan Yang.

But one thing is that they helped the Tang Dynasty return to the Tang Dynasty. When the Uighurs were preparing to recover Chang'an and Luoyang, they also wanted to help the Tang Dynasty, but something happened in the middle, right?

Therefore, helping the Tang Dynasty cannot be a reason for the Uighurs to get into evil with the Luopugu tribe. At least the Uighurs will not attack them immediately after learning about this.

After receiving this news, Li Yi immediately realized something. The Uighur Khan was most likely to make up his mind to stand against the Tang Dynasty when he met Shi Siming in person.

Why?

Because Shi Siming was really a member of the Qing Dynasty for the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. Guo Ziyi and his three teams attacked Fan Yang. Although they finally destroyed most of his troops, Shi Siming had a good idea of ​​how many they could have left.

Moreover, before finally using strategies to attack Fan Yang, the Tang army had been recruiting soldiers in Youzhou City, which Shi Siming knew about. In addition, even if he used such a clever strategy, he still had to rely on the troops from Tongluo and the Pugu tribe to lure away the 50,000 rebels.

These numerous signs all indicate one thing, that is, although the entire Tang Dynasty won the suppression of rebellion, it no longer had any military strength. Now, it is the time when the Tang Dynasty's national strength is the weakest.

What Li Neng understood even more was that the reason why the Uighurs had always had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty before was because the old Khan of the Uighurs, the heroic Khan Mo Yanchu, the former Prince of the Uighurs, and his eldest son Ye Hu were both intentionally maintaining a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

But at the moment when the Tang Dynasty had just recovered Chang'an and Luoyang and was determined to take back Hebei Road from the rebels, two major events also happened in the Uighur tribe.

First, the Uighur prince Ye Hu was sentenced to death for his crime. Shortly after that, the Uighur old Khan Yingwu Khan also died of illness. In this way, the Modijian Fire, who had just been appointed as the Uighur prince, succeeded to the throne, was the current Mou Yu Khan.

Although the events that happened to the Uighurs were spread to the Tang Dynasty at the first time, the Tang Dynasty, who was busy suppressing its rebellion, could not investigate the internal affairs of these Uighurs at all.

However, Li Neng always believed in one thing. The prince was convicted and killed by death, and the old Khan died of illness. As the Tang Dynasty was too busy to take care of herself, Li Neng didn't believe it.

Now, the consequences of this matter have been reflected. Mou Yu Khan openly welcomed Shi Siming without any hesitation, which shows that his idea is already very clear, that is, he should take action while the Tang Dynasty is not working now.

After learning about this, Li Qing thought for half a night and asked Mou En's messenger to go back that night with his letter.

This matter is definitely a big deal, but Li Neng has not informed Li Heng of Chang'an City of this matter for the time being, because he must first touch Tongluo and the Pugu tribe.

However, Li Qing still wrote a memorial to Li Heng in the name of the Hebei Road Jiedushi. The content was very simple, that is, Hebei Road is currently in ruins. After the power changes, the Uighurs were eyeing Hebei Road. He needed a talent to assist him, and he named this person: Yan Zhenqing.
