"Tell me about Quan Shancai?" Zhang Zong also showed a surprised expression when he heard Li Hong's words. Because he and Quan Shancai didn't know each other at all, why did Li Hong suddenly want to tell him about his affairs?

"Do you still remember the last Feisou?" Li Hong said with a smile.

"Of course I remember, can I say that the letter I brought with Fei Nu last time was related to Quan Shancai's current experience?" Zhang Zong also asked in shock when he heard this. Isn't this a coincidence?

"The content of the letter actually has nothing to do with Quan Shancai, but it gives an important clue. Feinusi followed this line and found a big fish. It was through this big fish that we knew about Quan Shancai. Now that Quan Shancai was arrested, it was just a play to attract the people behind the scenes." Li Hong explained with a smile.

Zhang Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If it were just acting, Di Renjie would not be in trouble. He just didn’t know if Quan Shancai knew that he was used to act?

"Your Highness, who is going to deal with Quan Shancai?" Zhang Zong suddenly asked curiously. Although there was another Fan Huaiyi who was arrested with Quan Shancai, the other party was just a general, and no one should have spent so much effort to deal with him.

"Do you know why Quan Shancai is called a good general?" Li Hong did not answer directly, but asked Zhang Zong.

"I heard that he once defeated 30,000 Dangxiang Army and made countless contributions when he was stationed in the Western Regions. Such contributions are enough to make him live among the good generals, right?" Zhang Zong thought for a while before answering.

"Yes, Quan Shancai's most proud record was that he defeated the 30,000 Dangxiang army in one fell swoop. Later, his father appointed him as the Shangzhu Kingdom and founding the country, and even handed over the left Wuwei Guard to him."

Li Hong suddenly sighed when he said this, and then continued: "Speaking of this, since the death of Duke Wei and Duke Yi and other famous founding generals, Xue Rengui and others have also grown old. Although there are still many generals in the Tang army, there are still shortages of generals who can take the lead. Quan Shancai is in his prime and can be said to be the most promising generals who have the most hope to replace Xue Rengui and others."

"The prince means that someone set up a situation behind the scenes and wanted to frame the generals in the Tang army, thereby reducing the force of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Zong gasped when he heard this. He thought that this matter was aimed at Quan Shancai personally, but he did not expect that there was such a big conspiracy behind it.

"Yes, these Tang Dynasty troops are extremely powerful, and the army slaughtered countless cities and destroyed countless countries. On the surface, the territory of our Tang Dynasty has expanded by nearly twice, and countless small tribes have surrendered to the power of our Tang Dynasty's military power. However, in secret, many people are making trouble and always want to be independent from the Tang Dynasty. This time, it is these people who are secretly making trouble."

Li Hong also showed an angry expression at the end of his speech. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally wanted to arrest all the people who secretly fought against the Tang Dynasty and destroyed the nine clans. However, these people were like rats in the gutter, and they did not show their heads at all, and their actions were even more mysterious. If it weren't for the Fei Nu who Zhang Zong accidentally discovered this time, they might have really succeeded.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong also showed a thoughtful expression. There were a lot of information revealed in Li Hong's speech. The Tang Dynasty expanded too fast in recent years, and the rule in some places was not stable. It was mainly based on the strong Tang army guarding, which greatly restricted the Tang Dynasty's troops. As for those secret resistance forces, the source may be very complicated. After all, there were too many tribes in the countries destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

"Turkish? The last time the note brought by Feinu was written with Turkic words, so is the person who set up a situation behind it related to the Turkic?" Zhang Zong suddenly thought of something and asked Li Hong.

However, when it comes to Zhang Zong's speculation, Li Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The words alone can't explain anything. After all, the Turks were too powerful back then. Almost all the northern grasslands and the Western Regions were under the rule of the Turks. Later, although the Turks were destroyed and Emperor Taizong also banned the Turkish writing, there are still many places in use, such as the Uighurs, the Western Regions, the Dangxiang people, and even the Khitans in Liaodong. Those who are familiar with the Turkish writing can be found."

Zhang Zong could not find any refutation to Li Hong's words, but he still felt that this matter had a direct connection with the Turks, because he remembered that just a few years later, the Turkic chiefs of the 24 prefectures rebelled collectively and established the Turkic Khanate, which was called the Post-Turkish in history.

The Post-Turkish did not exist for a long time, only for more than half a century, but during this period of the Post-Turkish existence, it was always in war with the Tang Dynasty, which greatly consumed the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and laid the foreshadowing for the decline of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Then have you found out this matter now? I'm afraid that it's not something that ordinary people can do, right?" Zhang Zong asked again.

"Now, only one official from the Ministry of War was found to be related to this matter. This person is likely to be a big fish, and there are some people in the army. However, these people may not be the real mastermind behind the scenes, but they use coercion and inducement to win over the tools. These people have limited knowledge, and even if they are caught, they may not be able to ask anything."

Li Hong suddenly sighed when he said this, and then said again: "The Emperor Gaozu established the Feinusi, mainly for conveying military information. However, the main responsibility of the Feinusi is to clean up these secret enemies. However, over the years, these people have been killed like rats, and their methods of acting are even more cunning and secret. Even if the person who caught them, these people would rather die than speak out, and the court would be very troubled."

"It can actually penetrate into the Ministry of War and win over so many people. It seems that the energy of these people is quite huge!" Zhang Zong also pondered again after hearing this.

"In fact, these people can't make any big storms in the capital. At most, they can only use this conspiracy to harm people. However, they have great influence on the border of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Western Regions and the Northwest. It can be said that the rebellions over the past few years are almost all related to these people!" Li Hong frowned at the end of his speech. There was such a force in secret to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and as the prince, he was naturally threatened.

"If these people have such great influence, then I suggest that the prince should focus on the Turks. After all, ordinary small countries and tribes would not have such great strength even before they were destroyed. The only way to have such a big impact is probably the only Turks!" Zhang Zong suggested again that the Turks would rebel in a few years, so he had to remind Li Hong.

After hearing this, Li Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. After so many years of our founding of the Tang Dynasty, the only ones that can be called a strong enemy are the Turks and Goguryeo. However, Goguryeo's influence is limited to Liaodong, while Turks are spread throughout the Western Regions, the northwest, and even Liaodong. In this way, it seems that only the Turks have this strength."

"Not only that, after Emperor Taizong destroyed the Turks, although the two Protectorate Offices of Shanyu and Hanhai were added, and garrisons and officials were sent to manage these Turks, there were no more powerful measures. This also made the Turks not truly integrate into the Tang Dynasty, but maintained their own customs and traditions. Maybe they could still rely on military force to suppress them at the beginning, but if it took a long time, there would definitely be changes!" Zhang Zong said in a deep voice again.

Li Hong also frowned at Zhang Zong's words. Although these words sounded a little harsh, he knew that these words were indeed very reasonable. In fact, there were indeed undercurrents among the Turks in recent years, and several large-scale rebellions had occurred. They were only suppressed by the Tang army in time, so they did not make too big a fuss. As for small conflicts, there were almost every day.

"With you, how can we avoid these Turkic rebellions in the future?" Li Hong thought for a long time and finally asked Zhang Zong again for advice.
