Ang Lee did not have conclusive evidence. He should not speak casually, but for the sake of the Tang dynasty, he could not care so much. At worst, he would make the Emperor unhappy.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject does not have conclusive evidence, but in this humble subject's opinion, this matter is most likely related to the King of Yunnan."
Ang Lee boldly stated his judgment.
Li Longji pondered for a moment and looked at Ang Lee: "Li Xiaowei also suspects that the rebellion in Cuandi is related to the King of Yunnan? Then how do you judge? "
Ang Lee pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this humble subject has three bases. First, the King of Yunnan has great talent and vision. He has unified the Six Zhao a few years ago. If he wants to expand the land again, Cuandi is undoubtedly the best choice. Second, the rebellion in Cuandi has just occurred, and the King of Yunnan can't wait to send his Second Prince to the capital. This is enough to show that the King of Yunnan attaches great importance to Cuandi, and if he has no intention of Cuandi, why would he be so nervous? Third, according to this humble subject's investigation, the King of Yunnan secretly sent a group of people into Cuandi half a year ago. Their intentions are unknown, and this group of people is very likely to be related to the rebellion in Cuandi. "
In any case, the facts that Ang Lee said were indeed possible. After listening to Ang Lee's report, Li Longji lowered his head and fell into deep thought. The King of Yunnan was a foreign minister that he had cultivated. He really did not like the rebellion in Cuandi that was related to the King of Yunnan. However, there were indeed many abnormalities in the rebellion in Cuandi, and these abnormalities all pointed to Piloge, so Li Longji had no choice but to believe.
"Li Xiaowei's analysis is somewhat reasonable, but as long as there is no conclusive evidence, I will not believe it. Does Li Xiaowei understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this humble subject understands. On the way back to the capital, this humble subject has left many subordinates to go to Cuandi to investigate the situation. I believe that they will be able to find important clues."
Li Longji was stunned and pointed at Ang Lee: "Ang Lee, you are acting on your own again. Well, seeing that you are wholeheartedly devoted to the country, I will not argue with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Li Longji relied on Nanzhao to fight against Tufan, he really did not want Nanzhao to occupy Cuandi. This was because in this way, Nanzhao's strength would be further strengthened. A neighbor that was too powerful would pose a real threat to the Tang dynasty. This was also what Li Longji did not want to see.
"By the way, Commandant Li, you're worried that the King of Yunnan won't leave after quelling the rebellion in Dingcuan. But our Tang dynasty's troops are all in the west and north. Temporarily relying on the King of Yunnan's help is the most appropriate way. Is there a better way?"
Li Longji looked at Ang Lee and pointed out the difficulties the Imperial Court of the Tang dynasty was currently facing.
Ang Lee sternly said: "Your Majesty, since the King of Yunnan is willing to be loyal to the Imperial Court and share Your Majesty's worries, Your Majesty should give him a chance to show his loyalty. However, you cannot give him the authority to quell the rebellion in Cuandi. Our Tang dynasty will also send a troop to Cuandi. In this way, with a pincer attack from the north and south, we can better quell the rebellion in Cuandi and prevent the King of Yunnan from having any plans to annex Cuandi."
Hearing this, Li Longji smiled: "Commandant Li's words are basically the same as what Zhangchou Jianqiong said in the memorial. It seems that when you were in Central Sichuan, you and Zhangchou Jianqiong had already discussed it. He recommended that you lead troops to quell the rebellion in Cuandi. This is also your idea?"
"As long as Your Majesty gives this humble subject this opportunity, this humble subject is willing to serve Your Majesty."
Ang Lee did not answer directly, but such an answer was equivalent to admitting it.
Li Longji smiled slightly and looked at Ang Lee: "Cuandi has high mountains and dense forests. Commandant Li, how many troops do you think are needed? I will say it first. Our Tang dynasty's main force cannot be transferred to the south for the time being. The troops that can be used will not be many."
"Your Majesty, the number of troops is not important, but the quality. Three to five thousand troops should be enough."
Ang Lee pondered for a moment and gave a small number.
"Three to five thousand troops is enough? Commandant Li, you can't joke. "
Li Longji was greatly surprised and looked at Ang Lee seriously.
Ang Lee's expression became even more serious: "Your Majesty, this humble subject only needs three to five thousand troops to quell the rebellion in Cuandi for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has any doubts, this humble subject can make a military pledge."
Li Longji was stunned again: "There is no need for a military pledge. I still have to think carefully about how to deal with Cuandi. However, I am really curious. Does Commandant Li know anything about Cuandi? Why are you so sure that you only need three to five thousand troops to quell the rebellion there because of the King of Yunnan's assistance? "
Ang Lee smiled softly: "Your Majesty, the Cuandi tyrants are just a group of mobs. It is not difficult to quell them. Only a vulgar general will use a large number of troops to quell a rebellion."
Seeing Ang Lee so confident, Li Longji seemed to see himself when he was young. At that time, he was also like Ang Lee, wise and confident. But now he was old and no longer had the spirit of his youth.
Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi beside him and sighed: "Young people are full of spirit and confidence, just like us when we were young. Great General, read the imperial edict!"
Gao Lishi responded and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve. He said in a loud voice: "Right Dragon Army Commandant Ang Lee has quelled the rebellion in Dongnu Province and crushed the Tufan invasion plot. He has outstanding military service and is conferred the title of Right Dragon Army Commandant. His official position is at the upper fifth rank. He is also conferred the title of Dingyuan General. He is rewarded with a thousand gold, a thousand rolls of silk and satin, and two thousand grains of corn … … The rest of the meritorious soldiers have their own rewards."
The rewards this time could be said to be extremely generous. In addition to gold, silver, silk and other wealth, his official position was also promoted by four ranks. He was directly promoted from the upper sixth rank to the upper fifth rank. The title of Dingyuan General indicated that Ang Lee had officially stepped into the ranks of generals. From now on, his subordinates could officially call him a general. 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ Wang

"Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for the rewards …"
Ang Lee knelt down to express his gratitude. He was very happy. He had done his best in exchange for these rewards, and they were the rewards that he deserved.
Seeing Ang Lee so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, Li Longji glared at Ang Lee. "Ang Lee, you are now a general. You can't stay in Lingzhou and report to the court anymore. The rewards that I've given you are enough for you to buy a house in the capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will go to the city tomorrow to buy a house."
Ang Lee couldn't close his mouth.
"Great General, give out the rewards for the meritorious soldiers as well."
Li Longji instructed Gao Lishi and looked at Ang Lee. "General Li, go to the capital and look for a house! You can only buy the best house by shopping around. "
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will take his leave."
Filled with joy, Li An rushed back to the Spiritual State to submit a report to the Imperial Court. He told his trusted soldiers about the Emperor's decision to reward the soldiers who had performed meritorious deeds. Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had performed meritorious deeds were very excited.

In the afternoon, Yu Chengjie, the second prince of Nanzhao, was led by an official of the Tang Dynasty to the Daming Palace to meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. This was Yu Chengjie's first time in Chang 'an, so he didn't know the rules here. Therefore, the officials of the Tang Dynasty had to remind him from time to time so that he wouldn't do anything that would be disrespectful to his status.
"Everyone, the second prince of Nanzhao has arrived outside the palace."
A young eunuch walked into the Zichen Palace and reported to Li Longji.
Li Longji nodded. The young eunuch understood and shouted, "Summon the second prince of Nanzhao, Yu Chengjie."
"Your humble servant, Yu Chengjie, greets Your Majesty."
Yu Chengjie respectfully bowed to Li Longji according to the etiquette given by the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
"Give him a seat."
Li Longji waved his hand and let Yu Chengjie sit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Chengjie first thanked the emperor and then slowly sat in his seat. His expression was a little reserved. After all, in front of him was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, who controlled thousands of miles of land. It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous.
"How has the King of Yunnan been these years?"
Li Longji saw that Yu Chengjie was too nervous and started to chat with him in a kind tone.
"Your Majesty, my father's body is still strong, but he caught a cold a few years ago. He often coughs and occasionally vomits blood. The doctor said that as long as he takes good care of himself, he will be fine."
Yu Chengjie respectfully replied.
Knowing that Pi Luoge was ill, Li Longji's mood was complicated. This official who had been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for many years was in step with the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty. He also cooperated with Li Longji very well. Now that he was ill, Li Longji felt very sorry and worried. Once Pi Luoge met with misfortune, it was unknown whether the successor could persist in uniting with the Tang Dynasty to fight against Tibet.
But at the same time, Li Longji also felt greatly relieved. Pi Luoge's health was not very good, and his ambition would be greatly weakened. In this way, he should not have too much hope for Cuandi.
"The King of Yunnan is only in his forties, but he caught a cold. This needs to be treated well."
Li Longji said as he looked at Gao Lishi beside him, "I remember that An Lushan sent twenty thousand-year-old ginseng from Liaodong a few days ago. All of them are given to the King of Yunnan to nourish his body."
"Yes, everyone."
Hearing this, Yu Chengjie was stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely rare. Father has caught a cold, so there is no need for so much."
Li Longji smiled gently and waved his hand, "The King of Yunnan is a loyal official that I rely on very much. A mere thousand-year-old ginseng is nothing. As long as the King of Yunnan can get better quickly, I am willing to reward him with more ginseng."
Yu Chengjie was greatly flattered and hurriedly said, "This humble official thanks Your Majesty on behalf of my father. My Nanzhao will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty for generations to come, and will always be a loyal official of the Tang Dynasty."
"Hahaha! Good, good. "
Li Longji was very satisfied with Yu Chengjie's answer.
"Your Majesty, this humble official came to the capital this time under the order of my father to ask Your Majesty to fight against the rebels of Cuandi, share Your Majesty's worries, and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
Yu Chengjie immediately expressed his loyalty.
Li Longji grinned and said, "The King of Yunnan is ill, but he did not forget to share my worries and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. I am very relieved. I know that the previous rulers of Nanzhao are loyal officials of the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Yunnan is my good official. With your Nanzhao's help, the rebellion of Cuandi can be quelled in the future."
This answer was equivalent to agreeing to let Nanzhao quell the rebellion of Cuandi. Yu Chengjie looked excited and said, "Your Majesty, my father often warned this humble official that without the support of the Tang Dynasty, there would be no Nanzhao today. In the future, no matter what, I must be loyal to the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly and be Your Majesty's loyal subject. If I have the slightest rebellious thought, Nanzhao's ancestors would not agree even if they were in their coffins. This time, the Cuandi noble family rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao should use the strength of the whole country to serve the Tang Dynasty and quell the rebellion of Cuandi noble family."
Li Longji looked up at the exultant Yu Chengjie and felt that there was something wrong. He paused and smiled faintly, "I am very happy that the King of Yunnan is so loyal to the Tang Dynasty and is willing to use the strength of the whole country to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion of Cuandi. However, the rebellion of Cuandi is my responsibility. How can I let the King of Yunnan bear this responsibility alone? Moreover, Cuandi has high mountains and dense forests. Quelling the rebellion will not be completed in three to five months. The King of Yunnan's loyalty is commendable, but I cannot bear to exhaust Nanzhao's national strength. I will send an elite troop to attack Cuandi from the north. The King of Yunnan only needs to mobilize part of the domestic troops to support the Tang Dynasty in the south."
Obviously, at the last moment, Li Longji thought of Ang Lee's suggestion. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Pi Luoge's willingness to use the strength of the whole country to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion of Cuandi. After all, there would not be such a stupid politician in the world who would sacrifice his own interests in order to express his loyalty.
Hearing this, Yu Chengjie was stunned. Before he set off, the task that Pi Luoge gave him was to fight for the leadership of Nanzhao in quelling Cuandi. In Pi Luoge's view, the main force of the Tang Dynasty was in the west and north. Most of the troops in Jiannan Province were also restrained by Tufan. The troops that could be used to deal with Cuandi were very limited. At this time, as long as Nanzhao was willing to take on the responsibility of quelling the rebellion, the Tang Dynasty should be very happy.
However, this was only the speculation of Pi Luoge and his confidant. The facts were already very clear. Li Longji did not agree to hand over the leadership of quelling Cuandi to Nanzhao. Instead, he sent a Tang Dynasty army to Cuandi and let Nanzhao be responsible for supporting the Tang Dynasty army.
In other words, if this matter was settled, Yu Chengjie's task would not be completed. When he returned, it would be difficult for him to explain to his father, Pi Luoge. This would also increase Gelofeng's chances of succeeding the throne.
Yu Chengjie's expression was a little nervous. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of every official to share the burden of the Tang Dynasty. Cuandi is close to Nanzhao. The terrain, climate, and customs are quite similar to Nanzhao. If you let Nanzhao be fully responsible for quelling the rebellion, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. If the Tang Dynasty army enters Cuandi, it will be like tigers and leopards falling into the plains.
In order to take the leadership of quelling the rebellion in Cuandi, Yu Chengjie had not thought it through before he spoke his reason. After Li Longji heard it, he was even more convinced that there was something wrong with Pi Luoge's intentions.
What did he mean by the terrain, climate, and customs were similar to Nanzhao? Didn't this mean that Cuandi was more like Nanzhao's territory? How could Li Longji not be vigilant when Yu Chengjie expressed his thoughts like this?
Li Longji pondered for a moment. He looked at Yu Chengjie and pretended to be unhappy, "The Tang Dynasty army is invincible. What do you mean by tigers and leopards falling into the plains? Second Prince has underestimated the army of the Tang Dynasty too much."
"This humble official is stupid. This humble official deserves to die. Your Majesty, please forgive this humble official's unintentional mistake."
Yu Chengjie also realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly apologized to Li Longji.
Li Longji, of course, did not want to fall out with Nanzhao. He also did not want to reprimand Yu Chengjie, who had come from afar. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Second Prince, you are just stating your own opinion. What is wrong with that? Come, let's not talk about national affairs. Let's talk about Nanzhao's customs! "
