Li Zhi's attitude caused the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to once again make a bitter admonition, and this time, even some ministers of the eunuch party changed their ways and followed the persuasion.

Li Zhi's problem is that his ears are soft, and in history, he thought about it after being plucked by Shangguanyi and other ministers on the issue of the abolition, but Wu Zetian heard the rumors and persuaded him a few words, recalling that the two of them shared hardships under the pressure of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi repented again, and sold Shangguanyi and others.

There is also the issue of dealing with Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, after Wu Zetian's victory, the second concubine was locked up, one day Li Zhi's old feelings rekindled, and he impulsively went to visit the second concubine, and said something very sensational, but Wu Zetian knew that the second concubine was ordered to be executed immediately, and Li Zhi's revival of the old love killed the two people.

Of course, the situation in this time and space is different, in history, Emperor Gaozong actually fortified Wu Zetian everywhere, and everyone in the world said that Li Zhi was cowardly and powerful, in fact, he had been suppressing Wu Zetian before Li Zhi's death, and the prime ministers she relied on such as Li Yifu, Yuan Gongyu and Cui Yixuan did not end well, Xu Jingzong was also a powerless prime minister for many years, women are often like this, the more depressed, the stronger the desire to erupt.

But in Li Jie's Fujian and Tang Dynasties, Li Jie boldly delegated power to Wu Meiniang, and let her stay when he was out on the expedition, the consequence was that Wu Meiniang, who was often tired of government affairs, was dizzy and eager to pick a child. And Li Jie's governance of the harem is also completely different from the strict rules of the Tang Palace, and even a little bit neither big nor small, you can often see a group of concubines frolicking together, which is more than the general family rules, but this can cultivate the true emotions of the family, Wu Meiniang was taken away by Li Jie, but it is a good thing that she and the Tang Dynasty share.

Li Zhi's bold words in the court were after all momentarily angry, and within a few days, after the continuous persuasion of the ministers, Li Zhi's ears finally softened again.

But the reason why Changsun Wuji even gave up revenge was because time was precious, if it wasn't for Li Fuguo's unrelenting, he would not have fallen into the trap of Changsun Wuji and was roasted on the fire, but this precious time was wasted by Li Zhi's hesitation in the past few days.

The cavalry of the Bailan, Dingling, and Magyars and other nomads were reorganized, and attacked the Tang army entrenched at the entrance of the Turpan Basin from all directions, and a small and fierce scout battle broke out with the Western Turkic cavalry and Tiele cavalry.

Especially the Magyars, or call them the Rouran people, these people have been researched, they are actually from northern China, and the Northern Wei regime has been attacking each other for many years of nomadic empire, but in the rebellion of the Turks, they were driven out of the Mongolian steppe, migrated and wandered for more than a hundred years, and actually returned to China again, these Rouran people behaved quite fiercely, and the overlord of the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Western Turks, were actually beaten back again and again by them, and the casualties were in disarray.

More than 100,000 cavalry stared at it, the opportunity to retreat had been lost, and it was not easy to persuade Li Zhi to move, but the ministers of Chang'an were shocked to find that they couldn't run! At this time, retreat, maybe even the Western Turks will immediately betray the alliance and join the Min and Tang sides to jointly attack the Tang Dynasty, as a last resort, the families from Guanzhong Heluo had to grit their teeth and send the children of the family to Xizhou in a steady stream, ready to fight to the death.

The great battles that have always decided the fate of China have taken place in Guanzhong or the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the Central Plains, for the first time, Xizhou, which has always been regarded as a wild land, has become a place of attention in the world, and the food supplies transferred from Guanzhong are replenished to the front line every day through two thousand miles of sand moraines, and new government soldiers are coming.

Li Zhi was so panicked that even the soldiers who were guarding and suppressing the Shu King Li Su in the Sword Pavilion were mobilized to the front line, and this time Emperor Gaozong's indecision made the Guanzhong ministers disappointed again.

However, in any case, if you can't stop the barbarian army rolling in from the west, it means the end of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, and everyone from the prime minister to the small people has to grit their teeth and try their best to remedy Li Zhi's decision-making mistakes.

Fortunately, the Hu Lu army in Asia and Europe and the allied forces with the Min and Tang dynasties were also busy with internal rectification, and did not attack at the first time, this war is related to Li Jie's crown, and it is also related to whether the Western Zhuhu can have a foothold in Guanzhong, and no one dares to be sloppy.

Regardless of the rectification of the 36 countries in the Western Regions that had been completely wiped out and the division of territory, all ethnic groups also transferred all the troops they could draw, slaughtered the last camels and sheep, and made them into jerky to fill the stomachs of the front-line army.

In Xizhou City, in the lobby of the Xizhou Metropolitan Protectorate, the quarrel is like a boiling pot.

The unique screens of the Tang people have been removed, and the landscape paintings and birds painted on them, as well as the Bodhisattva Buddha, which are not appreciated by the barbarians and Hu people from the West, have all been replaced by the characteristic worship of their own people, such as the Christian cross, the statue of the Virgin, the wooden crow of the Norse religion representing the god Odin, the hammer and cutting board of the thunder god Thor, and the skull of the ox representing the immortal heaven, as if a party of the gods.

These strange, fierce gods are not friendly to each other at all, they look at each other grotesquely, and even the statue of Our Lady shows a little hideous, just like their believers in the world, for the sake of troops, interests, and turf quarrels.

Occasionally, though, these rivals will come together, just as they do now.

"Your Majesty, you're not kidding, are you?" Charlie Matt exclaimed in disbelief, a beard was messy, covering most of the long face was full of ugly colors, and he shouted angrily with his hands: "Our Western Roman Empire was invited by you, so we came thousands of miles to the East to fight against the Tang people, but at the time of the decisive battle, you actually put the Fujian and Tang Roman armies as the main force at the end!" Is this the attitude you should have as an ally? ”

The Franks have a good attitude, and the other Central Asian Hu people simply scolded them in various languages, they did not come voluntarily as allies of the Fujian and Tang Dynasties, but were fought by Li Jie and the war of nearly 600,000 troops in the West, and many people hated Li Jie and hated him.

Especially the Viking pirate king Ragnar, who was bald with half of his head, the back half of his head was tied into dozens of braids, and his beard was also tied into small braids, and the tall northern barbarian simply pulled out his Viking one-handed battle axe, pointing at Li Jie and roaring gloomily.

"Roman Emperor! If you dare to be treacherous, I will lead the Vikings against your army! Hang the heads of the Min people all over this Xizhou city! ”

The Vikings were first merchants in Northern Europe, and when they met the weak, they turned into robbers, and when they met the strong, they did business honestly, and the Vikings' language talent was good, but Li Jie sneered disdainfully when he heard his threatening words.

Changed into a set of purple imperial robes of the Eastern Roman Emperor, but the dragon and God embroidered on the robe were half mixed together, holding his arms, Li Jie shook his head mockingly and smiled: "At the beginning, the widow gave a total of 1,000 taels of gold to the Viking territories, 30,000 horses of silk brocade, and 30,000 boxes of tea and tobacco, and the Vikings promised to fight for the widow!" Why, now that I am scared by the widow's unsuccessful brother, I have become a widow's treachery! ”

"A bunch of cowards who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard! If you come! Min Tang is always happy to send you to meet your Odin God! With a proud wave of his sleeves, in Ragnar's extremely ugly face, Li Jie actually ignored him anymore, turned his head to look at Sharmat again, and said loudly.

"The widow and your father are called the emperors of the Eastern and Western Romans, so the widow calls you a good nephew!"

Sharmat is in his forties, a lap older than Li Jie, but he has become his eldest nephew, this is cheap, Frank's face is also twitching vigorously, and Li Jie's next words make his face even more ugly.

"Virtuous nephew, think about it, the widow and your father agreed to send troops, on the one hand, for the throne of the widow, to teach my younger brother who does not know the height of the sky, and on the other hand, to open up a new kingdom for the heirs of the Western Roman emperor, and now these two things have been achieved!"

"Isn't such a large area in the Western Regions enough for a virtuous nephew to build a country? The table of the gate valve in Guanzhong was also sent, and they recognized that the widow was the emperor of the Tang people! ”

Ostentatiously shook a silk document twice, and Li Jie immediately spread his hands innocently: "So, our covenant has been completed!"

"Now the widow is looking at the friendship with your father, so he sent troops to support the war of the virtuous nephew, if the virtuous nephew does not use it, the affairs of the widow country are busy, and the widow will return to Beijing!"

Sharmat's shoulders trembled, he came all the way to help Min and Tang fight, but now in the end, it was Li Jie's kindness to help him fight, is it so shameless?

However, Li Jie is shameless and has shameless strength! Min and Tang have a way out, anyway, Chang'an can't beat the Beijing Division, he doesn't have this treatment, he can't win Li Zhi, he will definitely be driven out of the Western Regions, either wandering in the South Russian steppe of Central Asia, or low-level, sending people under the fence, which is not what Sharmat wants.

The smile on his face was about to catch up with crying, and Sharmat nodded with great difficulty, and responded: "In this way, thank you to the uncle of the Roman Emperor."

This is called a tyrant, which not only makes you bleed hard for Min Tang, but also makes you grateful for Dade's thanks, although Min Tang is now the overlord! That's what it takes!

Looking at the ugly faces of a large group of chiefs and nobles, Li Jie waved his hand happily: "So, it's decided!" The main force of my Min and Tang Dynasty is arranged in the country behind the division, once there is a need, reinforcements at any time, and the widow will not delay you to continue to discuss how to deal with the battle, farewell! ”

The country after the car division is almost sixty miles away from the battlefield that is now being held, almost beyond the scope of the battlefield, which is equivalent to watching the barbarians of all tribes fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty, seeing Li Jie hugging his fists, he was about to turn around and walk out of the Duhu Mansion in a chic manner, a group of lords who also had no way to retreat, the eyes of the chiefs were blood-red, especially the Viking Pirate King, and the blood vessels on the head were bulging.

No one expected that suddenly, Ragnar pulled out his battle axe, ran two steps and caught up with Li Jie, and the shining cold tomahawk slashed at the back of Li Jie's head............
