After receiving the order from the imperial court, Li Xiang immediately led his rapid reaction force to set off.

Li Xiang found that Qin Huaiyu was good at local management, and this guy was trained by Qin Qiong again, and he also had a set of management for the army, so he let this guy continue to be stationed in Goguryeo, and Li Xiang rushed to the grassland with Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang.

"What's going on? Obviously, it is to solve problems for the imperial court, but General Li Jing actually deprived him of real power, if this is replaced by me, my heart will not be able to get by, and we are not for our own interests, but for the interests of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After receiving the court mail from the imperial court, Niu Jinda couldn't help it first, was General Li Jing doing this for himself? Obviously it was for the entire Tang Dynasty, but he suffered such treatment, and no one could stand it, not to mention that he respected the general very much.

"Who's to say it isn't? If you want me to say let's turn back, it's a big deal that we won't go, obviously nothing happened on our territory, we don't want to splash sewage on our bodies, but then General Li Jing actually suffered such treatment, if there was no General Li Jing to give us the overall situation, how could Goguryeo have such supervision? is not rewarded for meritorious service, and was punished for the sake of Datang. ”

Su Dingfang's kid is a violent temper, he can't get used to this matter even more, Li Xiang also heard these words in the carriage, but Li Xiang didn't say anything, maybe this is what we want, weren't the people under Li Shimin also dissatisfied with some of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's practices? This led to the later Xuanwumen Incident.

"Your Highness?"

The two discussed outside the carriage for a long time, but they didn't hear anything from Li Xiang, so the two of them were also ready to see what Li Xiang thought.

"Tell me to go down and set up camp and rest."

Li Xiang has been running for a long time to calculate the time, although this is a rapid reaction force, but when it is time to rest, you have to rest, if you continue to insist on relying on willpower, you can continue to run for several hours, but it is not cost-effective for soldiers and war horses, so it is better to rest at this moment, and after we have rested, we can completely take back these few hours.

The soldiers under his command have long been self-contained, their tents are different from other people's tents, the internal structure is set up, although Li Xiang can't make simple houses now, but it is no problem to make a few simple tents, only a few soldiers need a little cooperation, this tent was built immediately, I don't know how many times faster than the original time.

The people in the army performed their duties, some people were setting up tents, another part was responsible for guarding the surroundings, and some people helped the cooks to start boiling water, and after marching for such a long time, everyone was thirsty and hungry, but according to Li Xiang's order, no matter how thirsty anyone was, he could not drink cold water, he had to drink the water in his own kettle.

Although there is no pollution in this era, a lot of water can be directly drunk, but Li Xiang's task this time is very heavy, if it is because the water source is not clean and causes stomach trouble, then it is very likely to be a big deal, the army on the front line has fallen into a heavy encirclement, King Wu can still support it now, but it can't support it for long, Li Xiang must let his subordinates hurry up.

"Your Highness, you don't have an opinion on this?"

Su Dingfang said with some dissatisfaction, how can it be said that General Li Jing is also good to Li Xiang, and now that the general has suffered such treatment, why didn't Li Xiang say a word?

"What do you want me to think, is it the last time, ask the general to go out of the mountain again? If I do this, it will be a roast of the general on the fire, and it is difficult to say whether it will die well at that time, and if the emperor is suspicious, who can have a good result? It's better to deal with this matter coldly first, and when the emperor himself wants to come over, the general will naturally be able to return to the military department, not to mention that the palm seal officer of the military department has not fallen into the hands of others. ”

Li Xiang said very calmly, now he is no longer the original desperate boy, if it was the original desperate boy, I am afraid that Li Xiang would have already played a fold, maybe he would have to take his own people back to Chang'an, but if he took his own people back to Chang'an, it is estimated that Li Shimin would not even open the gate of Chang'an City.

Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang were still aggressive just now, but now after listening to Li Xiang's words, the two of them really feel that their ideas are too immature, and it is absolutely not advisable to make trouble, and if you two make trouble, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and the most difficult thing to do at that time is General Li Jing.

"I know what the two of you are thinking in your hearts, it is nothing more than to complain for the general, and I am not comfortable in my heart, but we have no right to speak now, Goguryeo is indeed a big victory, but the court has not treated us badly, the rewards that should be given have been given, if we want to have the right to speak, then it is in the north, as long as we defeat the army of Xue Yantuo and rescue my king's army, are we still afraid that we will not have the right to speak?"

Li Xiang's words instantly made both of them transparent, what Li Xiang said was right, if you want to have the right to speak in the court, you must have merit, even if Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then you have to take into account the thoughts of the heroes, you can't come casually by temperament, if you come casually by temperament, it will not be good for everyone.

"Then we have to let His Royal Highness King Wu hold on a little more, I originally thought that His Royal Highness King Wu was a person who could fight, but I didn't expect it to be like this, they must not have an accident, otherwise even if we defeat Xue Yantuo, this credit will be gray."

Su Dingfang said with some worry, in the eyes of the generals in the imperial army, His Royal Highness King Wu can be literate and martial, especially a martial arts is really good, so it gives people a wrong idea, this guy also has a set of leading troops to fight, but your personal skills are good, and leading troops to fight are completely different things, and now you can see it.

When Li Xiang and they were worried, the life of Li Ke, the king of Wu, was indeed not good, their survival circle continued to be compressed, and now the two groups of people and horses on the grassland have merged into one, and Xue Yantuo was originally encroaching on

g Turkic territory, the two sides should be hostile, but because of the wrong command of His Royal Highness King Wu, the two sides have now become allies.

Supplies from the south can't be delivered, and there is no way to get supplies locally, and His Royal Highness King Wu's military camp is about to run out of food, although the supply of Danton has been reduced, but it can't last long...
