Li Xiang is not a hypocritical person, he also knows that the northwest is now at a critical moment, if we take the right step, then the Anxi Protectorate will definitely be established again, and the countries of the Western Regions will also enter the management of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to us having a strategic depth of thousands of miles to the west, which is very important for the current Tang Empire.

Li Xiang and Li Shimin have discussed properly, and they will set off from Chang'an City in a few days, although the army can not support the northwest, but they still have to bring some grain and grass, Li Xiang is used to letting the army supply on the battlefield, but Gaochang is not a battlefield, this is the object we want to woo.

Therefore, the robbery in the local area cannot happen, if we do too much, it will be equivalent to pushing Gaochang to the Western Regions Alliance, and then the Hexi Corridor is likely to be blocked, once the Hexi Corridor is blocked, then we want to control the Western Regions again, which is tantamount to making it even more difficult.

When he arrived at Cheng Yanjin's house at night, Cheng Yanjin also tried again and again, hoping to be in charge of the army again, but even Li Xiang shook his head.

Li Xiang knew what Cheng Biting Jin was thinking, it was nothing more than thinking about exerting his residual heat on the battlefield, but unfortunately it was impossible at this time, even if Li Shimin believed in Cheng Biting Jin again, it would be impossible for Cheng Biting Jin to lead the troops to go out, and it might be reasonable to be an idle official in Chang'an City honestly.

Cheng Yanjin also sighed for a long time, if he still wanted to lead the troops, he could only wait for the chaos in the imperial court, or when Li Chengqian became the emperor, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible.

On the way back to the East Palace after eating at Cheng Biting Jin's house, Li Xiang found that Cheng Luan was just holding Li Xiang's hand, women in this era all think like this, and after getting married, her husband is her own day.

Li Xiang is reluctant to give up his new daughter-in-law, think about it from another perspective, how can Cheng Luan be willing to give up Li Xiang? The two of them have just lived together like glue, and now they are about to go to the front line, and no one is willing to replace them.

"I'd like to go to the Northwest with a random piece."

When he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Cheng Luan finally mustered up the courage to say this.

Women can't go to the barracks, this is also an iron law, but for the royal son, such things are often trampled on, Li Xiang has always been strict with himself, but in the face of the little daughter-in-law's eyes that are about to shed tears, Li Xiang really can't refuse.

"It's very hard in the barracks, especially in the northwest."

Li Xiang hesitated, and finally thought about refusing, not because of his reputation, but because the northwest is indeed very bitter, where the wind and sand blow on his face like a knife, Li Xiang doesn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer in the northwest.

"Your Highness really underestimates me, although I didn't grow up in the barracks, but because of my father and two older brothers, I often appear in the barracks, and I have my own team."

Regarding this team, Li Xiang had heard about it earlier, and the number was not very large, and it was composed of the daughters of Cheng Yanjin's generals, about forty or fifty people.

Cheng Luan began to train them when they were children, and now their combat effectiveness is not weak.

"Are you serious?"

If he hadn't talked about this team, Li Xiang would have thought that his little daughter-in-law was a loser, but when he said this team, Li Xiang knew that Cheng Luan really wanted to go to the front line.

Cheng Luan stared at the big eyes and nodded, which made Li Xiang really unbearable to refuse.

"I'll think about it these days."

Li Xiang can have this answer, and this little girl can be happy for a long time, after all, Li Xiang has never brought a woman in the barracks in the past.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Xiang sent someone to deliver a letter to Niu Jinda, so that Niu Jinda could prepare well, and then follow Li Xiang to the northwest.

For Li Xiang, he hasn't stayed enough in the capital, but for Niu Jinda, he still hopes to make meritorious service on the battlefield, Niu Jinda has missed the first batch of sub-seals, and now after the meritorious service comes back, he is already waiting in the county, which is much stronger than before.

In the next few days, Li Xiang was preparing for his trip to the northwest, saying goodbye to people everywhere, and then Li Chengqian took his little daughter-in-law to the northwest with his reluctance.

Regarding the matter of Li Xiang bringing his daughter-in-law, Li Shimin also chose to turn a blind eye, as long as you go to the northwest quickly to stabilize the situation, then everything else doesn't matter.

Now many people in Chang'an City have also got this news, the market has begun to be unstable, you must know that Chang'an is in the Guanzhong area and the northwest distance is very close, once it breaks through the high warehouse, the armies of the Western Regions may drive straight in, and it is also dangerous to Chang'an.

Of course, these are all ordinary people who are not familiar with the situation in the northwest, if they are familiar with the situation in the northwest, they will definitely not have such an idea, even if the countries in the Western Regions occupy Gaochang, they will not have the ability to march into the interior.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the tens of thousands of troops along the way can also consume the armies of the countries in the Western Regions, our Datang has such a strong comprehensive national strength, if we want to maintain the logistics of the northwest garrison, it is very difficult, if they enter Guanzhong, as long as our army is strong and clear, it will be chaotic within a month.

Of course, Li Xiang would never let such a thing happen, even if these people occupied Gaochang in Li Xiang's eyes, it would be a failure.

Li You has already set off with the three thousand elites in Chang'an City, and Li Xiang has only Cheng Luan and Niu Jinda's guards this time, in addition to his guards.

Their team was relatively small, and at the same time they were relatively fast, and they could travel a hundred and fifty miles a day.

On the other hand, this guy on Li You's side is not willing to ride a horse at all, so he takes a carriage every day, and his daily journey is only sixty miles.

After walking for a few days, Li Xiang caught up with these people, and it turned out that they had not taken a single step forward for two days.

After Li You left Chang'an, the whole person was very uncomfortable, coupled with the fact that he was not accustomed to the water and soil, this guy turned out to be sick.

After Li Xiang saw Li You, he knew that this guy was not pretending to be sick, but was really unaccustomed to the water and soil, and the aristocratic sons and brothers in Chang'an City were like this, and the environment in other places could defeat them.
