The war on the eastern front was fierce, and on the side of Bianzhou, Shi Chaoyi and Li 9zhou were in peace.

For Li 9zhou, who has been fighting for many years, this is a rare leisure time.

But how could he be idle easily?

1 ride a horse, 1 wears white clothes.

When no one noticed, Li 9zhou had sneaked out of Bianzhou City.

There is still nothing in Bianzhou City as usual.

He also expected that Shi Chaoyi would not go back to his nest and persuaded him to confront him here, but he escaped from his shell.

His mount is a divine horse that travels thousands of miles a day. Within a few days, he has arrived in Xianyang.

At this time, the political center of the Tang Dynasty was still in Xianyang.

At the gate of Wangxian Palace.

"The Grand Marshal is here!"

Chen Xuanli was responsible for the Xianyang Imperial Guard. He was not affected by the previous Mawei Post Mutiny, but was instead valued by the new emperor Li Heng.

Li 9zhou looked at Chen Xuanli opposite him, "You are dressed so energetic."

This must be a high promotion. Chen Xuanli accompanied Li 9zhou to walk in with a smile, and said as he walked: "The saint has often mentioned you recently."

After entering several doors, passing through the numerous guards, he came to the emperor's place.

At this time, the imperial guards in the palace will naturally be more tight.

"Li Qing, why did you come suddenly?" Li Heng came over from afar, with surprise on his face.

Li Heng was extremely happy when he suddenly saw Li 9zhou.

Li 9zhou greeted him and asked, "Has the saint received a letter from Fei Ge?"

Chen Xuanli, who was next to him, was slightly stunned. He was not very clear about the details of what happened on the front line.

The news was so lagging.

It seems that I don’t know about An Lushan’s death here.

"I haven't received it yet, what's the latest situation?" Li Heng smiled slightly and said, "Li Qing must have something important to come back at this time. I'm just about to discuss with you. Let's sit down and chat slowly."

Li 9zhou sat down face to face with one hand. He was already quite familiar with Li Heng and didn't have to be so polite.

"The saint hasn't received my flying pigeon's book yet?" Li 9zhou asked again.

Li Heng shook his head.

The efficiency of Fei Ge’s letter delivery is actually not high. It is not surprising that there will always be some emergencies in the carrier pigeons halfway.

Li 9zhou didn't care about those things and said directly: "An Lushan is dead!"

"Really?" Li Heng looked at Li 9zhou in disbelief.

Li 9zhou nodded, "The rebels were civil strife, and An Lushan was killed by his son An Qingxu."

In this era, the relationship between father and son is always so wonderful.

Li Heng did not show any unexpected happiness, but his face looked a little ugly.

This reminded him of the scene of turning against his father before.

Li 9zhou saw his thoughts and asked: "Is there any news from the Supreme Emperor?"

"I sent people to watch the movements over there." Li Heng said: "They went to Shu, but they were much more comfortable than being in the imperial palace."

"After all, I'm old," said Li 9zhou.

Li Heng seemed reluctant to say this, so he changed the subject and asked, "Since An Lushan is dead, what are your plans?"

"The rebels will be in a panic when the thief leader died. Although this matter is good news for us, we should not be impatient."

"What are the specific arrangements?" In terms of the war, Li Heng naturally believed in Li 9zhou. He did not intend to interfere with Li 9zhou's plan, but just wanted to know what the emperor could do.

Li 9zhou is here to report his next plan.

Even if you hold the power of military power in the world, many major events must be clear to the emperor.

Besides, there are some things that need to be handled by Li Heng.

"At present, we need to take this opportunity to launch an attack. I have sent someone to send a message to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. Although the time, place and people are all right, we are still a little nervous in terms of military strength."

Li Heng hurriedly asked, "How is the enemy and our troops now?"

Li 9zhou calculated a little: "Our troops on the front line are less than 1/3 of the rebels, and the main gap is in the cavalry."

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry had a huge advantage over infantry.

Therefore, nomadic peoples have caused great headaches in the central court in all dynasties.

The Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Huns and the Tang Dynasty was able to defeat the Turks, which also relied on powerful cavalry power.

The siege of Baideng in the early Han Dynasty and the Weishui Alliance in the early years of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty are all lessons from the past.

Most of the cavalry of the Tang army were concentrated in the Shuofang army.

On the other hand, because of years of preparation and An Lushan Shi Siming, who was originally a foreigner, attached much importance to cavalry was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the cavalry of the Shuofang Army is not weak, the number of people is far smaller than that of the rebels. The most important thing is that there are much fewer war horses.

Li Heng also knew the importance of cavalry to the battlefield, so he frowned and remembered.

"The Uighur cavalry has always been brave, so it is better to borrow troops from him."

Since the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong, the Tang Dynasty has enjoyed a high reputation among ethnic minorities.

Out of the Tang Dynasty's military service and strengthening its ties with the Tang Dynasty in terms of politics, economy and culture, ethnic minorities often worshiped and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, some ethnic minorities still came to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.

In addition, during the Anshi Rebellion, Qin Mao, the King of Bohai, moved to Shangjing, and the leader of Dangxiang came to the court to help the country provide Lingzhou military rations.

As early as the beginning of the war, the minority groups such as Nuts, Jie Duo, Zhu Xie, Qi Mi, Hun, Ti Lin, Xi Xia, Shatuo, Pengzi, Chumi, Tuyuhun, Sijie sent troops to help Tang quell the rebellion.

Later, King Yuchisheng of the Khotan Kingdom led his troops to Tang to quell the rebellion. Bakhanna, black-clothed food, Uighur Ye protected the prince, Prime Minister Di De, General Che Bi, Shi Tuba Peiluo, Minister Geluo sent troops to help Tang quell the rebellion, Southern Barbarians, Tocharo Ye protected Ulido, and the leaders of the nine Western Regions also led troops to help Tang quell the rebellion.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was in Shu and received spiritual comfort from King Silla.

These ethnic minorities were very enthusiastic about sending troops to help Tang quell the rebellion and fighting very bravely.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to obtain reinforcements from so many ethnic minorities was that these ethnic minorities still paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and voluntarily accepted the leadership of the Tang Dynasty when civil strife broke out.

It can be seen that the power of the Tang Empire is the influence.

Although there were many coups in the Tang court between Wu Zetian and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ascended the throne, and the reputation of the Tang Empire weakened among ethnic minorities compared with the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang, this reputation was restored and strengthened after the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The Tang Dynasty's enthronement of ethnic minorities made them a local regime of the Tang Dynasty. When civil strife occurred in the Tang Dynasty, it was natural for them to send troops to help. In addition, the Tang Dynasty adopted policies of detention, protection and preferential treatment for ethnic minorities, friendly relations with various ethnic minorities continued to develop.
