The morning light is dazzling, and it is going eastward one by one.

Li Xuan looked up at the British King's Mansion in front of him, stopped his horse, and said sideways to Cui Ding on the side: "When I see His Royal Highness the British King later, be cautious and don't say much." ”

"Whoa!" Cui Ding, who was dressed in blue and gold armor, nodded with a serious expression, it was not the first time he had seen Li Xian, but he had basically not spoken much before.

Looking at the golden gourd hammer in front of Cui Ding's horse, Li Xuan urged the horse to slow down to the door of the British King's Mansion, and asked casually: "After this king left Zuo Jinwuwei yesterday, what did Qin Ming say?" ”

Cui Ding smiled bitterly twice and said: "Captain Qin is very annoyed, saying that the prince would rather take his subordinates than take him with him, it is too unrighteous. ”

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "He just said a few words at random, as for the specific reasons for not bringing him, he knew in his heart that even if this king transferred him, he might not be able to adjust it...... He's not like us, he doesn't need such feats. ”

Cui Ding bowed his head and was silent.

Although the Qin family declined, Qin Shandao, the father of Qin Ming, was appointed by the emperor as the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and the family background was immediately revived.

Qin Ming is an only son, and Qin Shandao will not let him follow Li Xuan to the Western Front to go to danger.

Qin Ming is like this, and Wei Chi Xunyu is even more so, they are all shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the lintel, how can they die easily.

This time with the Tubo war, Datang seems to be well prepared, but no one knows what the actual battle situation is.

Even back then, Xue Li, Xue Rengui, the most confident prince of Pingyang County, led an army of 100,000, but it was not the same defeat of Dafeichuan.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is attacking Tibet again, it is almost certain that it will hit Dafeichuan, and it is difficult to say how it will win or lose.

If you win, you may not be able to come back, and if you lose, you are likely to be wiped out.

Qin Ming saw this matter clearly.

Last night, Li Xuan also sent a letter to the past, it's one thing that Qin Ming can't go, Li Xuan also needs Qin Ming to stay in Chang'an and help him keep an eye on some things.

"In the past few days, arrange the affairs of your family, if there is anything wrong, go directly to the house, or find your uncle. On March 17, we left Beijing. After Li Xuan finished speaking, he immediately turned over and dismounted.

"Whoa!" Cui Ding immediately became solemn, this time was a rare time for him to make contributions.

If you succeed, you will have a bright future, and if you fail, you will die.

……

Li Xuan handed the horse rope to the guards on the side, and then led Cui Dingyi straight to the middle hall of the British Prince's Mansion.

Li Xuan has been helping Li Xian train the way of arching horses this month, and these people in the British Prince's Mansion all know him.

In the distance, the voice in the middle hall came out, and when he heard the voice, Li Xuan's brows suddenly furrowed.

In the middle hall, Li Xian sat on the left side of the middle couch, Li Dan, the prime minister on the right, Yao Lingzhang, the chief historian of the British king, and Dou Xiao, the new Gongcao of the British Palace, and on the other side, there was Ming Chongyan, a real person in the world.

Seeing Li Xuan stepping in, everyone immediately stood up.

Li Xuan took the lead in walking and saluting: "Minister Nanchang Wang Xuan has seen His Royal Highness King Ying, His Royal Highness King Xiang, Yao Changshi, real person, Brother Dou!" ”

"Uncle Wang!" Li Xian bowed his hand in return, and the others also stood up and returned the salute.

Li Xian looked at the seats in the hall, hesitated for a moment, Li Xuan smiled, and then walked straight to the bottom of Ming Chongyan.

Everyone sat down together, and Li Xuancai looked at Li Dan curiously: "Why did Your Highness come to the British King's Mansion today?" ”

Li Dan rarely left his mansion, and most of the time he spent in his mansion, studying and practicing martial arts, and rarely had contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

"Today, I heard that Uncle Wang is going to accompany the third brother to the northern suburbs, and Shiro happens to be fine, so I plan to go and see it together." Li Dan looked cautious and said more tactfully.

said that it was a trip in the northern suburbs, but in fact, Li Xuan wanted to take Li Xian to see the three thousand Hangzhou guards stationed in the northern suburbs.

This time he went to Lintao, 3,000 Hangzhou guards and 2,000 right guards were the main force to protect Li Xian.

The elite of the right guard naturally doesn't need them to worry about much, the key is the three thousand Hangzhou guards, what is their condition, how are the weapons, and what needs to be supplemented, this time all must be cleared, so that in the future, more useful things can be produced from the military department and the household department.

At this time, Li Xian didn't know that he was cheated by his father and used as bait, but he still understood the truth of the danger of the soldiers.

Not to mention, once the war starts, anyone can be drawn to the front line, so naturally you have to care more.

Li Xuan looked sideways at Ming Chongyan, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that this must be Ming Chongyan's idea.

Li Xian's trip to Lintao and Li Dan's trip to Dunhuang were not easy.

Li Xuan has to face the surprise attack of the Tubo people, and Ming Chongyan has to deal with the Dugu family in Dunhuang, and if you don't pay attention to it, there is a possibility of overturning.

Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Li Dan, and said in a deep voice: "Since His Highness wants to go, let's go together, if His Highness doesn't understand something, ask directly, and the minister can answer, if the minister can't answer, His Highness will have to ask Gao Ming." ”

"In this way, thank you Uncle Wang." Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Xian on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xian immediately stood up and said, "Now that everyone has arrived, let's go now." ”

Everyone present stood up at the same time and replied, "Oh! ”

……

On the banks of the Jing River, the green willows hang obliquely.

Li Xian and Li Dan were on horseback, and thousands of Niu Guards were scattered around to escort them.

Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan fell silently at the end, Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan, and said softly: "I heard that the prince transferred Qiu Zhenmu to His Majesty. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "Although this king is not well-informed, but after many times, Brother Qiu is the most exquisite general who has ever commanded the cavalry that this king has ever seen. ”

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan with some surprise: "Attack, it seems that the prince has a chance to win the matter of Lintao in his heart." ”

"The real person is really sharp." Li Xuan glanced at Ming Chongyan in surprise, then nodded directly, and said: "Real person, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo have their own terrain advantages, on the plateau, it is naturally the Tubo people who have a better chance of winning, but under the plateau, it is my Tang Dynasty that has a better chance of winning, even if the people attack unexpectedly, as long as they can resist the first wave of offensive, then the balance between the enemy and us will soon change, and after that, it will be my victory." ”

Ming Chongyan nodded somewhat clearly and said, "Lord Wang, I still firmly believe in my own cannibalization strategy. ”

The foundation of the encroachment strategy is that the advantages of Datang and Tubo are difficult to break each other easily.

In this case, only by intertwining the canine's teeth and nibbling away bit by bit can the final victory be obtained.

"The prince knows it in his heart, so the poor road will rest assured." Ming Chongyan nodded, and said relaxedly: "If there is no problem with Lintao and Lanshan, then there will be no problem with Dunhuang, this battle, Datang has a chance of winning." ”

Ming Chongyan suddenly changed his mouth, looked at Li Xuan, and said softly: "Lord Wang, if this battle is won as expected, will our dynasty have a chance to break the Dafei River, enter Luo, and exterminate Tibet." ”

Although Ming Chongyan's tone was light, his expression was unusually expectant.

Li Xuan glanced at Ming Chongyan, and then said very directly: "Real person, this time there are only 80,000 troops, and it is a great achievement to be able to restore half of Gu Hun's hometown." ”

There are only 80,000 people, what are you talking about destroying the country.

Li Xuan looked ahead and continued: "If you want to do what the real person wants, I'm afraid you have to use 600,000 regular soldiers. ”

Ming Chongyan was stunned, and after a long time, he said slowly: "What the prince said, how can poor Dao feel familiar." ”

"Familiar." Li Xuan nodded and said: "Have you forgotten that Qin destroyed Chu back then, at first, the King of Qin asked the general Li Xin, how many people are used to destroy Chu, and Li Xin said: 200,000." The king of Qin asked Wang Qian, and Wang Jian said: It must be 600,000. So the king of Qin ordered Li Xin and Meng Tian to attack 200,000 people in Chu and was defeated; Later, with Wang Qian, 600,000 people attacked Chu, and Chu was destroyed. ”

Li Xuan's words shocked Ming Chongyan very much, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "The meaning of the prince, the national strength of Tubo is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty? ”

"I'm afraid that's the case right now, especially when not many people in the DPRK and China can recognize this." Li Xuan subconsciously shook his head, now the entire court knows that there are very few people in the Tubo combat power, and under the light enemy, the odds of victory have been reduced by three percent, and it is strange that the final battle can be won.

Ming Chongyan couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the prince report this matter to His Majesty?" ”

"How to report?" Li Xuan asked directly, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty may not have a feeling in his heart about this matter, but it is the wish of a saint to defeat Tubo, who dares to mess around in this matter?" ”

Ming Chongyan took a deep breath, and then said: "Then the prince's trip to Lintao is probably not small. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Everything else, this king knows everything in his heart, the only thing he is worried about is that there are masters in Tubo to raid, and even the people of the Demon Gate will directly participate in it, and at that time, it will not be solved by the battlefield." ”

"Tubo National Master Kumaro?" Ming Chongyan immediately thought that they had met the king of the Western Regions of the Tianyin Sect, the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom.

Li Xuan shook his head directly and said: "Gu Mo Luo's cultivation is still a little worse, Qianniu Wei is enough to deal with it, what this king is worried about is the Yang God master, the Yang God master of the Demon Sect." ”

"The people in the Demon Sect have always been mercenary, if Tubo really promises heavy profits, I can't say, they will really do it, especially since they are all Han Chinese." Ming Chongyan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his expression solemn.

If it was just a Tibetan person, it would be easy to deal with, but if it was a Han master, then they would have a much better chance of getting close to Li Xian.

In particular, they were able to force Datang officials to be used by them through bribery, kidnapping, and oppression.

If this is the case, Li Xuan and the others can't even figure out who the enemy is and who is their own people.

Ming Chongyan's expression became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the prince going to do?" ”

"Please." Li Xuan glanced back in the direction of Chang'an, and then said: "Originally, this king wanted to borrow people from the Great Ci'en Temple, but after thinking about it, he still looked for someone from the master's sect. ”

Ming Chongyan couldn't help but nodded, don't forget, he Ming Chongyan himself is a Taoist priest.

In addition to fighting on the battlefield, Taoists are also proficient in medicine and astrology, and they can save lives when they shoot at will on the battlefield.

The Tang Dynasty, the state religion of Taoism, and the soldiers are also easy to accept.

Otherwise, with a monk in the army, many people will feel uncomfortable.

Even in the DPRK and China, there will be many people who will come forward to impeach Li Xuan.

……

While speaking, not far ahead, Jinghewan Hangzhou Daying arrived.
