"Haha, Qinghai finally has some movement!" In the Duke Xing's mansion, Su Dingfang said to Chen Yi who came over to ask for his opinion with a smile.

"Duke Xing, why do we just let the chaos in Qinghai happen? Instead of taking pre-emptive measures before the rebellion occurred, we would nibble the rebellion in its infancy?" Chen Yiting was puzzled by the rebellion in the Qinghai area. He could not imagine that this rebellion could gather more than 30,000 people. It was too terrible. He felt that if he prepared in advance, it would be avoided.

Although he had vaguely heard Su Dingfang say that he persuaded Murong Nuo to voluntarily remove the domestic support, and that he had very powerful moves in his hands, Chen Yi was unable to understand it. So after hearing that there was chaos in Qinghai this time, he immediately came to ask Su Dingfang about matters. Su Dingfang's confident look made him feel relieved, but he still wanted to know what the reason was.

"Ziying, in fact, even if you don't come and ask, I will tell you in detail!" Su Dingfang laughed and signaled Chen Yi not to worry, and slowly listened to him, "This is the thing..."

After listening to Su Dingfang's story, Chen Yi suddenly realized and admired Su Dingfang even more.

Although Qinghai is controlled by our Tang army, it has been ruled by Tubo for many years. There are many Tuyuhun people who tend toward Tubo. Apart from the more than 2,000 tents and more than 10,000 people who were taken to Liangzhou by him, the other Tuyuhun people had almost no control. If it weren't for the Tang army's large troop, I would have no idea who would have driven away. In addition to the Tuyuhun people who were difficult for Murong Nuohun people to control, there are also a large number of Tubo defeated soldiers. Two years ago, hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops were led by Su Dingfang.

The scattered people were killed, and most of them were captured or annihilated, but there were still quite a few Tubo troops who fled. Except for one that was brought back to Luoshe City by Qinling, there were tens of thousands of people scattered near Qinghai. These scattered Tubo people were the biggest factor in the instability of the Qinghai area. They formed a group of hundreds or dozens of people, and often plundered herdsmen. They almost became bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings. Before Su Dingfang returned to Chang'an, he formulated a detailed plan to clear out all the instability of this area by "fishing".

It is not a very simple thing to eliminate all these forces that confront the Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang knew this very well. He knew that he wanted to give them a chance to gather their strength and could only be annihilated in one go. Murong Nuo Hebo and Princess Honghua, the person who had great prestige among the remnants of Tuyuhun, was not in Qinghai, and Su Dingfang, the commander of the Tang Dynasty who was so powerful that the four directions were not there. In that case, those who had strange intentions would think that this was the best opportunity for them to cause trouble.

Su Dingfang believed that as long as he and Murong Nuo and Hubo left Qinghai, there would definitely be chaos in Qinghai. When chaos arose, it would be the best time to eliminate the rebellious forces in one fell swoop.

Only when they are given a chance will these people jump out. Only when they jump out will they have the chance to destroy them. Before returning to Chang'an, Su Dingfang instructed all the generals to turn a blind eye to the Tuyuhun people and Tubo people's abnormal movements, and wait until they gather all their forces. Then take action!

"So that's it!" Chen Yi suddenly realized!

Su Dingfang's plan was deployed well, and he was also very cruel. He believed that after this rebellion, the rebels would be wiped out, and Murong Nuo's power would be wiped out. The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gained profits, and Su Dingfang's plan to set this goal is to clean up all the forces when the chaos in Qinghai again occurs, and he will restore the long-term peace here. No matter where, it is impossible to be peaceful after the war. Not to mention that the remaining forces of the enemy are difficult to clean up, even

Those who surrender may also have a strange intention. It takes many years to restore the tranquility of a region and many means to do so. Just like Liaodong, it is not very peaceful yet. The great patriarch of Andong, Xue Rengui, did not send troops to suppress the rebellion. He used both kindness and power, and with other means, just like Su Dingfang, letting people with strange intentions jump out and giving them a chance to rebel, is the best way to rule a newly occupied area, at least in Su Dingfang's opinion.

After Su Dingfang told Chen Yi about his arrangements, he laughed and said, "Ziying, you should fully understand the reason for the matter now, right? The more powerful the Qinghai is, the more beneficial it is to us. After this time alone, the influence of the Han people in that area will rise to a new level. Whether it is the Xianbei people or the Tubo people, there will be no chance to reach it, haha!"

"I really admire the careful arrangements of Duke Xing!" Chen Yi sighed sincerely.

Non-toxicity is not a husband. Many people's lives are gathered into the military achievements of generals. Sometimes they really cannot be kind to women. Especially those who achieve great things often have to sacrifice the interests of others and strive for more for themselves. There is no way to say right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Chen Yi was also fully aware that together with this rebellion, Tuyuhun would no longer have the opportunity to be independent of the country alone. Murong Nuo and Hebo would lose everything they could rely on, including their tribe members. After Su Dingfang left, the people from Liangzhou and other places were already on standby. When the rebellion occurred, they immediately dispatched to prepare for the suppression of the rebellion. I believe that the rebels were surrounded by the Tang army and had no chance to escape.

The power of Murong Nuo Hobo was completely gone, and in the end he could only control a few hundred tents and thousands of people. If someone threatened him again, would he still have the confidence to ask the court to give him another chance to be independent? This was a rebellion that occurred during his reign of Tuyuhun. Murong Nuo Hobo himself was guilty and did not govern the country well. Even if he did not ask to eliminate the country, the Tang Dynasty court could forcefully eliminate Tuyuhun and incorporate Qinghai into the actual rule of the Tang Dynasty without causing uneasiness to other vassal states.

After hearing what Chen Yi recounted what Su Dingfang said, Wu Zetian was in great peace and the worries that had originally aroused because of the news of the rebellion were basically eliminated.

"Zi Ying, I really didn't expect that Duke Xing would have buried such a trick before returning to the court!" Wu Zetian, who was enjoying the coolness of the palace people outside the Qingliang Hall, said with some emotion.

"Empress, in addition to his amazing skills in marching and fighting, Duke Xing's strategy of doing these matters is also very good. Such talents are actually the head of the Political Affairs Hall according to the thoughts of the empress! "When I saw Wu Zetian, Chen Yi took the opportunity to say something very touching and a little complaining. Su Dingfang's military achievements were not inferior to Li Jie. It is logical that he should have held a higher position, but his actual position is much worse than Li Jie. Li Jie has been prime minister for many years and is now in the position of Sikong. How could Su Dingfang be comparable? Of course, Chen Yi was a little unfair to Su Dingfang!

Yesterday afternoon, when discussing the situation in Qinghai with Su Dingfang, although Su Dingfang did not say something clearly, Chen Yi knew that the wise General Su should have made very careful arrangements. He must have arranged some people around those with dissidents, who were responsible for inciting these leaders to incite these Tuyuhun leaders to cause chaos. Without the role of these people, many people with dissidents may not jump out immediately, and these people will not be eliminated. The situation in Qinghai may still be repeated in the future, which is somewhat similar to the "fishing law enforcement" in later generations, but the effect is a hundred times better.

Of course, Chen Yi admired Su Dingfang's strategic methods. General Su's military talent was even more amazing. Such a person was not included in the Political Affairs Hall. It was really unreasonable. Unfortunately, Su Dingfang saw that he was old and he was already 78 years old. No one expected that this veteran would achieve anything in the position of prime minister. Everyone knew that this was just a recognition of his military achievements by the court and gave him the highest honor. Maybe Su Dingfang would quit his prime minister in a while and go home to enjoy his old age.

Of course, Wu Zetian heard Chen Yi’s complaints, but just smiled slightly. He did not explain or refute. He said after a while: “Ziying, are you very close to Su Lie?”

"Empress, our friendship is not deep, it's just a similar interest. I admire Duke Xing's military achievements over the years and his talents, so I say this!" Chen Yi was not worried that Wu Zetian would accuse him of this point, but he also explained seriously: "I admire those truly talented people, especially those who ignore their own life and death, lead the army to kill the enemy, defend their country, and make great achievements! Whether it is Duke Li Wei, Duke England, Duke Xing, etc., they are all people I admire. I only regret that I do not have the military talent like them and cannot make military achievements!"

"Do you want to lead the army to fight?" Wu Zetian showed a little surprised expression, and his body, which was originally lying, sat up.

Seeing that Wu Zetian was so serious, Chen Yi was nervous, but immediately laughed, "As long as the Empress hopes that I will lead the army to fight, I will definitely fulfill my mission and return to achieve military merits!"

Wu Zetian did not answer, but said strangely after a "Oh" sound: "No wonder you often run to Duke Xing's mansion. Do you want to learn military tactics from Su Lie?"

"That's not!" Chen Yi shook his head, "Empress, I have never thought of learning military tactics from Duke Xing. Although many people want to have a glimpse of the elite of Duke Wei's military tactics, I have never thought about it!"

"Why?" Wu Zetian was a little puzzled. Chen Yi was not interested in learning the military strategy of Li Weigong, which everyone dreamed of but could not obtain, and she didn't believe it.

"I don't think I am a talented person in the military and have no research on any marching arrangements. All I know is just some miscellaneous studies. At most, I can only talk about military affairs on paper. If I actually lead the army to fight, it would be a big mistake! It is precisely because I know how much I have, so I dare not hope to learn the military tactics of the Lord of Wei that everyone dreams of!" Chen Yi said "righteous words".

But these "righteous words" words called Wu Zetian's eyes rolling, "You are nonsense. Who thinks you have no strategy? If you don't have it, you can get praise from generals like Duke of England and Duke Xing? This palace will ask you to serve in the Ministry of War and let you be in charge of military weapons supervision? Since Su Lie appreciates you so much, he must have a plan to teach you the art of war. Did you refuse?"

"The Empress said that I have military strategies, then there should be one," Chen Yi started to play tricks and said with a chuckle: "Duke Xing does have plans to teach the ministers' military strategy. I refuse. I feel that it is not a source of information in this regard. However, if the Empress hopes that I can lead the army to fight in the future, then I will ask Duke Xing for military strategy to avoid causing trouble because of no military strategy at that time!"

"Nonsense!" Wu Zetian glanced at Chen Yi and said angrily: "Who wants you to go to the battlefield to fight? You don't need to lead the army to fight at any time. Now, there are many powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty. There are never a shortage of leading generals, but there are very few talented people like you. It is better to let you do things in the court, and give me more useful suggestions to me!"

When Chen Yi heard Wu Zetian's words, he was relieved. He was really afraid that when Wu Zetian promised to let him go to the battlefield. He was used to living a happy life, but he did not want to use his life to gain military merits. He really felt a bit like what Wu Zetian said just now. His advantage was that he was foresighted by many things, understood many modern knowledge that no one in this era understood, and made contributions to the progress of the times, rather than going to the battlefield to fight and command the army to fight. He thought he was too far from the famous generals of this era, and he was not worthy of carrying shoes to them. Why do you have to do your shortcomings and give up doing things that can better use your expertise? Wu Zetian understood this principle, so he would not have any worries. It was not his turn to lead troops to fight and fight on the battlefield, and there was no need to learn military tactics from Su Dingfang.

Do you want someone to use it well? Chen Yi found a good reason for his cowardice, but he was not ashamed of himself. He smiled foolishly: "I am very moved by what the Empress said. I will definitely live up to the Empress's expectations in the future and offer more strategies to the court that benefit the country and the people!"

"Of course, I don't know how much welfare you have made for the people of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and the treasury of the Tang Dynasty has increased a lot. You are a hero of the Tang Dynasty. I hope you can make more contributions to the court in the future! The court needs you, and I need you too!" Speaking of this, Wu Zetian didn't know what he thought of, and gave Chen Yi a glance, and showed his charm. Then he said in a humming tone: "I often need you by my side and give me advice! By the way, you shouldn't go back to my house tonight. I still have many things to be puzzled about Qinghai!"

How could Chen Yi refuse such an invitation? He dared not refuse? He didn't want to eat it, but he didn't have any good results. He immediately straightened his body and agreed: "Yes, Empress! Today I will explain the situation in Qinghai to you. If you have any questions, you can ask for anything you don't understand, and it will definitely satisfy you!"

"Will you satisfy me?" Wu Zetian's eyes circulated and he looked at Chen Yi with charm!

"Of course, I will definitely, and I will ensure that the Empress is very satisfied. If you feel dissatisfied, you can ask me again!" Chen Yi agreed again, then smiled evilly, but because there was a palace maid standing next to him, he immediately stopped it.

However, his evil smile was still seen by Wu Zetian, which was exchanged for a fierce glare, and then the glare turned into a gentle smile, and then a soft voice also sounded: "You said yourself, your performance today must satisfy me! Otherwise, I will punish you!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.
