Duan Xiushi shook his head and said: "General, please calm down first. Brother Fu is resourceful and not a willful and impulsive person. This move must have deep meaning!"
These words were like a revelation. Li Siye was shocked and said: "Brother Xiu Shi, what do you mean by this? But what did you sense?"
Duan Xiushi said: "General, Brother Fu is well versed in the art of war, and he will never punish someone based on his personal likes and dislikes. Although I can't guess his strategy, I guess that if he dares to kill General Di De's nephew, there must be a way to resolve it.
"
Li Siye also calmed down and said, "My dear brother, what you said makes sense. What should we do now?"
Duan Xiushi said: "It is necessary to gather a large army to prevent the Uighur army from becoming angry and bloodbath Chang'an. However, there is no need to dispatch the entire army. You only need to send out multiple scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the Uighur army.
At the same time, quickly report to the Ministry of War and request the deployment of troops. If the Uighur army makes any changes, the Anxi army can be dispatched to intercept it at any time."
Li Siye stroked his long beard and thought deeply for a moment. Duan Xiushi was a pharaoh who was prudent and this was a good plan. Li Siye nodded in agreement and acted accordingly.
…
When the news of Azaya's murder reached the Uighur military camp, contrary to everyone's expectations, General Dide did not fly into a rage. Although he was extremely angry that his nephew had been killed, the whole thing was fishy from beginning to end.
What Bai Fu asked Ziler to bring back, there was something in it that was so profound and thought-provoking that it made Di De cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
De De looked at Azaya's horrified head on the tray and fell into deep thought. De De's eyes were like flames in the wind, erratic.
This time, the Huihe Khanate was willing to send troops to assist the Li Tang court in suppressing the rebellion. This was Di De's strong instigation, because he wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune for the Li Tang court.
Before launching the army, Uighur Gel Khan Yao Luoge Moyanchu summoned Di De alone and ordered him to lead his troops deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains to find out the reality of the Li and Tang empire.
The Uighurs are now rising strongly, with strong soldiers and horses, and they are at the peak of their power. Whether they can unify the grasslands and achieve their ambitions of hegemony, the Tang Empire and Tubo are the two biggest obstacles.
Since entering the customs, what he has seen along the way is exactly what Gel Khan expected. Due to the war, the once prosperous prefectures and counties of the Tang Empire were dilapidated, and the villages were deserted and devastated. When the fairy came, he saw thousands of acres of green mountains and flags.
Together, chaotic clouds are descending, and as promised, we go to the front mountain. We are ordered to drive a group of dragons to make a yoke of gold, and follow each other to make a crown of jade. Deep into the night, the wind is still, no one is there, and I hear the ring.
You have a try at this magical place. You lay fire to the right of Huai River and blocked the south of the Yangtze River. You sent six thunder and lightning to guard Dongguan. But you laugh at the hero because he has no good skills. He hides away from Cao Cao with a pole of spring water. How do you know that people are in the little red building, between the curtains and shadows.

"Oh!"
Zile'er almost lost his breath.
"You, you, you..." Zile'er spoke incoherently and sighed: "General Di De will never spare you!"
Bai Fu smiled calmly and said: "I'm not afraid of him yet!
You take this bearded man's head back and tell General Didi that if you don't come to apologize in person and bury these two dead old men, I will also chop down the remaining twenty or thirty Uighur soldiers.
By the way, if you give him another message, if you want to encourage the bandits to respect themselves, be careful of being pecked by an eagle!"
Bai Fu is so murderous!
Zile'er did not dare to look directly at Bai Fu, so he picked up Azaya's head, got on his horse, and rode away alone.
…
The news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.
After listening to the report, Suzong stood on the spot dumbfounded and repeatedly said: "What should we do? Uighur is the master of tigers and wolves, you can't mess with him, you can't mess with him!"
Li Chu, who was renamed King of Chu from King Guangping, lost his manners and walked around the hall like an ant on a hot pot. He shouted to the courtiers: "This Bai Fu is lawless. Doesn't he know that the war is still going on?"
Isn’t it over? How can he deal with the Uighur army with such a big trap? I would like to see if he has three heads and six arms?!"
The courtiers were whispering among themselves, but no one had a good idea for a while.
The King of Chu, Li Chu, was anxious and anxious. He bowed to Su Zong and said, "Father, at this point, there is no way to wait. My son, I personally went to the Huihe military camp to meet with General Di De and try to turn the conflict into friendship."
Li Xian, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly stopped Chu King Li Chu and said: "Your Majesty, so far, the Tang army has not had a direct conflict with the Uighurs. All of this is just a personal act of Bai Fu, and there is still room for maneuver. Let's calm down and be patient.
, let’s wait and see what happens.”
…
At the same time, in the Anxi Army camp, Li Siye mounted his horse and ordered the Anxi Army to assemble urgently.
The army was assembled in an instant, and the gatekeepers slowly opened the gate of the general camp. Li Siye whipped his horse and whip to lead his army out of the camp.
Duan Xiushi drove his horse forward, stopped in front of Li Siye's horse, grabbed the reins, and persuaded: "General, no! It is a capital crime to mobilize the army without the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops!" Uighur is now rising strongly, with strong soldiers and horses, and is in full swing. Can it be done?
To unify the grasslands and achieve hegemony, the Tang Empire and Tubo were the two biggest obstacles.
Since entering the customs, what I have seen along the way is exactly what Gel Khan expected. Due to the war, the once prosperous prefectures and counties of the Tang Empire were dilapidated, and the villages were deserted and devastated.
Except for the Anxi Army and the Shuofang Army, which were brave and good at fighting, the main force of the Tang Army was no match for the Huihe cavalry.
All this made Di De feel contemptuous of Li Tang.
Due to Huihe Yehu's "mercy", the opportunity to plunder Chang'an and Luoyang was missed. This made Di De extremely unwilling and wanted to find another opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Di De proposed a plan to the Uighur Gel Khan, taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army was in urgent need of war horses, and under the pretext of selling military horses, he sold the Uighur horses as inferior ones to the Li Tang court.
Di De calculated correctly that Emperor Li Tang did not dare to turn against him. As long as this deal can be carried out in the long term, Huihe will be prosperous and Li Tang will be weakened. Therefore, Di De sent Huihe Ye Hu away and asked Ye Hu to return to the court of the Khan to choose war horses.
There is a saying among the Han people that "raise the bandits and respect yourself". As long as the rebellion in the Tang Empire does not subside for one day, the Li and Tang courts will rely more on the Uighurs and continue to purchase Uighur war horses.
Wanting to understand this, Di De sent a secret envoy to sneak into Fan Yang and provoke Shi Siming to wait for an opportunity to rebel again.
Shi Siming was overjoyed after seeing Di De's autographed letter. Without the support of the Huihe cavalry, Li Tang was like a tiger with missing teeth. If the war breaks out again, Dayan will no longer have any worries.
How could Shi Siming let go of such a win-win deal? He did not hesitate to form an alliance with Di De.
After reaching a private deal with Shi Siming, Di De became bolder. He deliberately planned Azaya's robbery of the people of Chang'an this time.
If Li Tang's court remained silent, it would prove that the Tang army was indeed weak and did not dare to fall out with the Uighurs. In this way, he could further test Li Tang's bottom line.
On the contrary, if the imperial court dispatches troops such as the Jinwu Guard to arrest the Uighur soldiers, it will have an excuse to fall out with the Li and Tang court. When Shi Siming rebels, the Uighurs can renegotiate the terms and blackmail them. Or, they can simply make peace with them.
Together with Shi Siming's rebels, they divided Li Tang's territory.
This plan was perfect. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway, but Bai Fu messed things up.
Bai Fu's unruly eyes flickered in front of Di De's eyes repeatedly. If it was a mistake, forget it. If Bai Fu guessed his plan, surrounded him for reinforcements, and did it intentionally, this guy would be terrible!
