Liu Ji took two trips to rush back to the capital, first welcomed Feng Hanyue home, quickly completed the marriage ceremony, and then followed Yu Chaoen into Beijing overnight, eighty miles of road, less than two hours to finish, although he was too tired, Yu Chaoen only had one breath left, almost suffocated.

Is there such a teasing thing, and the call of the Son of Heaven dares to be discounted.

But at this time, how dare he complain, it was too late to enter the palace together, fortunately, the time was quite timely, and it was not delayed for too long, the two were stopped in front of the palace, and the chamberlain before obviously got instructions, and after determining Liu Ji's identity, he called his name loudly.

"General Zuo Junjunwei, Broken Leaf Town Guard and Han Navy Envoy, Shangzhu Guoci Purple Gold Fish Bag Liu Ji to meet you!"

The sharp voice made everyone in the hall stop moving, and they all turned their heads in unison, looking at the young man who walked into the hall proudly.

The purple robe and jade belt, Liang Guan's scarlet boots, and the seventeen-year-old boy Lang made everyone present feel an indescribable feeling in their hearts for no reason, even the thirty-five-year-old Li Mao.

I'm getting old.

"Liu Ji, the general of the left leading army, the guard of Broken Leaf Town, and the envoy of the Han Navy, see Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven Wan'an."

It can be seen that the young man ran all night, sweating on his back, but his body still stood upright, his voice was loud and magnificent, and his saluting movements were meticulous, which made him involuntarily give birth to a trace of affection.

"Get up." Li Longji personally spoke: "It's been hard all the way, and it's disturbed your wedding joy, isn't it?" ”

Liu Ji stood up and glanced at the crown prince Li Heng who was standing aside, there was already a different person beside him, his own father-in-law Feng Changqing, the latter's face was as usual, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

This way hurried and hurried, although he met Chen Jin halfway, and got the general news from his mouth, the matter was not for himself, but it was not until this moment that he was really relieved, the so-called ghost in his heart,

"The minister is the minister of the Tang Dynasty, driven by His Majesty, he deserves it, and he can't talk about hard work."

"I want to give you time, but the thieves don't allow it, there is a warning from Jiaohe County, something happened in Beiting, and I have to summon you, you people."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, when did you receive the warning?"

"Yesterday night."

Liu Ji silently calculated in his heart, Jiaohe County, that is, Xizhou, according to Chang'an more than 3,000 miles, there are more than 100 post stations along the way, according to the setting of one station and one beacon, plus the time required to react, it will take one to two days to reach the capital, plus the time they sent people to summon themselves, that is to say, the time when the police incident occurred, should be two days ago, if a post station is sent at the same time, according to the highest level of running 600 miles a day, how should the detailed military report be halfway, It will take two to three days at most to reach the capital, which is already the fastest response that the imperial court can make.

Things are a little unusual, there is also a Tingzhou above Xizhou, the two places are bounded by the Tianshan Mountains, which is the location of the Beiting Protectorate, with a garrison of 12,000 people, that is, the Han Navy that he just served as a military envoy, so the question is, why would the foreign invasion bypass Tingzhou and go straight to Xizhou?

Bolder conjectures, will Tingzhou have fallen?

If that's the case, Beiting is actually empty, Feng Changqing, the capital of Beiting, has even been stationed, and he, the Han naval envoy, doesn't need to take office, so he has already become an empty military envoy.

This is the reason why the Son of Heaven urgently summoned him to Beijing despite the fact that he was marrying a bride!

Liu Ji's mind was spinning rapidly, there were 12,000 people garrisoned in Tingzhou, including 4,200 cavalry, this cavalry army was taken to Tubo to fight by the predecessor Du Cheng Qianli, almost half of it was destroyed, and there were 8,000 foot soldiers plus the rest of the cavalry army There are more than 10,000 people, and they are in their own territory, will they be wiped out silently? Not to mention how difficult it is to attack the city, a border like Tingzhou is not only a city in Tingzhou, but is composed of a series of fortresses, just under the jurisdiction of the Han Navy, there are as many as nine guards and capture the city, and the following is a town or a garrison, and there are beacons below the garrison, if the enemy comes to attack, the first thing to face is to face countless fortresses of all sizes, and when you gnaw down these fortresses and see the walls of the main city, I am afraid that it will be half a year to a year later.

Assuming that it is unlikely that Tingzhou will be captured by the enemy, then the enemy who appeared in Xizhou will have to say, Liu Ji sorted out his thoughts, and replied loudly.

"The minister has a conjecture, this hostility is in the hinterland of Beiting, and it comes from Xizhou, except for the three surnamed Gelulu, Da Shi, and the Hezhong coalition army, if the big cannibal has this heart, he should have done it as early as two years ago, and the countries in the river want to gather, it is not an overnight thing, and it is impossible to be silent, therefore, it is very likely to be a Qarluq people."

Before Li Longji could answer, a rough man's voice rang out.

"In this court, the Qarluq people have also sent envoys to Beijing, why do you think it will be them?"

Liu Ji turned his head and saw that it was a middle-aged bearded man in a purple robe, with a deep beard and a deep nose and a deep face.

"That's Takebe Yasushosho."

Ann Sishun?

He didn't pay attention to the other party, but turned around and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty still remembers the original intention of letting the minister go to the North Court?" ”

"You mean ......"

Li Longji's eyes lit up, and Liu Ji nodded.

"Yes or no, it can be seen within three days, Your Majesty summoned the ministers back, presumably to make the worst plan, this three-day period, the ministers also need to plan for a good life, no matter who comes, how many people come, the ministers will plow the court for Your Majesty to sweep the holes, never trouble!"

The young man's loud words made all the ministers in the palace look sideways, and An Sishun endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it.

"Arrogant ......"

The thoughts of the ministers are the same as him, even Ge Shuhan, who has always been optimistic about him, frowned, speaking in front of the Son of Heaven, others are afraid of being cautious and cautious and can't get it, he is good, he doesn't want to jump out like money, who doesn't know that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, even if it really happens in the end, it will become a thorn in everyone's eyes, it seems that you can be, but in the end it is the young man who can't hold his breath.

Only Li Longji's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his cheeks were covered with a smile that could not be suppressed, and he also got up from his seat.

"Well said, I don't know the enemy's whereabouts, I haven't heard the number of enemies, and I have the determination to break the enemy, which is called humerus!"

"On the third day, you go to form your town guard, and what I promised you is a Hui cavalry."

He raised his arm and waved it in the air.

"No less than five thousand."
