"Officials force the people to rebel, but the people have to rebel! Just like me, since I was already under An Lushan's command, I said I didn't want to rebel, I could only die earlier. Not to mention how long Guo Ziyi can live, once someone discovers that my 30,000 Yiluohe has been stationed in you for several months, even if I die, you can't explain it!"

"you……"

When Shi Siming said this, Pu Gu Huaien seemed to suddenly react to something, pointing at Shi Si, it was obvious that he wanted to say something bad.

But Shi Siming is such an old fried dough stick. Of course, he knew that he had to do everything he had to do, so he did not give Pu Gu Huaien the opportunity to speak, but continued to perform again.

"Even if I don't say that the Yiluohe I brought, just because your daughter is still a woman from the Uighur royal family, do you think the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can trust you? What's more, you are a Tieler person. This is a fact that cannot be changed. In this way, do you have any other choice?"

Shi Siming used his three-inch tongue to expel Pu Gu Huaien, and Pu Gu Huaien completely lost himself.

He didn't think of a word to refute Shi Siming for a long time, because in his own opinion, what Shi Siming said was true.

"Then... Isn't we the only way to die here? Now His Majesty has fully controlled the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Uighurs and the Tubo people united, they did not gain any advantage from His Majesty. With our tens of thousands of troops, nothing can be accomplished!"

When Shi Siming saw that he had successfully fooled Pu Gu Huaien. He obviously no longer regarded himself as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, but was already trying to see if he could protect himself. So Shi Siming felt that his second plan could also be implemented.

"Although our 50,000 troops are elite, they really can't do anything. If you mediate from it in the past, we might have a little chance to unite with the Uighurs. But now the Uighur Khan has just returned from the defeat in Lingzhou. I'm afraid that he has been scared by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He will definitely not dare to continue to oppose the Tang Dynasty at this time, so... we may have only one way left."

“What road?”

"You should have read Guo Ziyi's letter too. He said on the surface that the Anxi Jiedushi held heavy troops but did not send troops to help the Tang Dynasty destroy the enemy, and asked you to monitor and balance him. However, at this time, with the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qing, I am afraid that he would attack the Anxi Jiedushi. He didn't know whether to be soft or hard, so he asked you to balance him. Since you have become a dead chess now, we might as well do the opposite. What the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants you to do, you will not do anything!"

“How to do the opposite?”

"Unite with the Anxi Jiedushi! Now it seems that if you do not do anything, the best result will be that you and the Anxi Jiedushi were replaced by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He must have taken action against the Jiedushi. You can think about it. When you lose the military power in your hands, isn't it a situation where you can be slaughtered?"

Pugu Huaien thought carefully about the letter Guo Ziyi gave to him. Indeed, according to Shi Siming, Li Yi really has a considerable possibility of attacking the Jiedushi. If he disobeys, he will definitely become a person like the Jiedushi Anxi, facing the ending of being cleaned up.

"But even if I joined forces with the Anxi Jiedushi, it would be difficult to make a difference!"

"The Tang Dynasty was indeed the governor of the Ten Towns, but only two or three people were truly Li N's confidants. Moreover, after experiencing this battle again and again, there were not many people left. After you and several governors united, you can completely separate this territory. In a short period of time, the Tang Dynasty could not do anything to you!"

Shi Siming struck while the iron was hot and said another bold assumption. These ideas had never been before. Now, after Shi Siming's mouth, they all suddenly said them, which made it very difficult for him to make a decision.

Shi Siming also knew that some things were enough to reach their meaning. After all, Pu Gu Huai'en is not a fool. He will definitely think about it carefully. So Shi Siming stood up, bowed to Pu Gu Huai'en casually, smiled slightly, and left Pu Gu Huai'en's mansion, leaving only a string of footprints, hiding his merits and fame.

After Shi Siming left, Pugu Huaien fell into deep thought. He was obviously standing at a crossroads. No matter which step he chose to take, it would have a great impact on his destiny.

But Pugu Huaien was a hesitant person. Such a major decision was not something he could make in one or two days. What he didn't know was that when he couldn't make a choice, Li Qing had already made a choice in Chang'an City.

On the day Guo Ziyi came out, Li Yi asked Lei Wanchun to set off with the troops outside Chang'an City. Not only that, he also sent news to Li Siye, Nan Jiyun and Li Guangbi, asking them to stare at Anxi and Beiting, and be ready to send troops at any time.

After doing all this, Li Neng could only silently say sorry to Guo Ziyi in his heart, because Guo Ziyi had begged Li Neng before, saying that Pu Gu Huai'en had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and that he would have to save his life.

Of course, Li Yi also knew that he had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He did not understand the emperor's mind before, but now, Li Yi also understood the helplessness in his position as an emperor.

If someone like Pugu Huaien is confirmed, he really wants to make some uncomfortable in the Beiting Protectorate, then he must be unable to keep his life no matter how much contribution he has made to the Tang Dynasty before.

While giving the order, Li Neng keenly thought of a possibility. Although it was not great, he still sent his messenger to send messages to Yan Zhuang, asking him and Du Huangshang to focus on the territory of the Beiting Protectorate to see if they could gain anything.
