March 17, the hour is right.

Li Xuan wore a red dress and gold armor and stood in the courtyard of the palace.

The people in the house kept walking back and forth, as if they were always worried that something had been forgotten.

Li Xuan pressed his hand on the eight-sided Han sword, and looked sideways at Li Bi on the side: "Staring at the outside of the mansion, unrelated people you don't know, etc., try not to let them enter the mansion, even if they are related acquaintances, be careful when entering the mansion, don't let them secretly hide any harmful poisonous powder, inexplicable pearls and other things; All food and drink are handled by the house, don't use anything brought by outsiders, be careful of mixing poison, if there is anything wrong, go to the Taiqing Palace immediately......"

"Okay, I don't have to explain anymore, no one will harm me." Liu Jinyu held up her big belly, walked up from behind, and glanced at Li Xuan angrily.

Stuffing a peace charm into Li Xuan's hand, Liu Jinyu said solemnly: "This peace charm is something I asked for with great difficulty from the abbot of Peeji, you have to take it with you at any time, so that I can rest assured." ”

Peeji is Xuanzang's personal disciple, the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, and the sect master of the Faxiang Wisdom Sect.

The talisman that flowed out of his hand was not that simple.

"You don't have to worry about the husband's side, as long as the front line is fine, the husband basically stays in Taozhou City, although he doesn't enjoy himself every day, but he is also safe and worry-free, but you are here, and the husband doesn't know if he can rush back by then." Li Xuan's expression was a little gloomy, this time the expedition was as short as March and May, or as long as several years, and the time was uncertain.

In this world, when the first bloodline was born, it was very likely that he would not be around, and it was inevitable that he would not bear it in his heart.

"Don't worry, our mother and son are fine." Liu Jinyu slapped Li Xuan angrily, and then said: "Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, there is never a certain thing, no matter what, don't be careless." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "My husband has put three letters in your dresser, and when there is any news outside, you think it is wrong, just open it and read it." ”

"The concubine understands." Liu Jinyu's voice was lowered, and the person suddenly became much gentler.

After all, Liu Jinyu has been dealing with government affairs for many years, and now she has not had much contact with the affairs of the Western Expedition, but Li Xuan reads those Lintao maps and family information every day, and she sees them all.

The general of the right guard of the inspection school, the deputy marshal of the march of Taohe Road, and the deputy head of the march, such an identity, even if Li Xuan is the king of the county, it is a little too much.

Fortunately, Li Xian was appointed as the pastor of Luozhou, and Li Dan was appointed as the governor of the prefecture, and there was such a thing that attracted everyone's attention in front, and Li Xuan received much less attention.

"Be careful of Pei Yan and Wu Chenghe, these two are not good people, people related to them come to the door, or ask you to go out, don't care, unless there is an edict from the queen of heaven, don't enter the palace." Li Xuan's expression was serious, and he knew best what the Empress Wu was like.

A woman's heart is really cruel when she is cruel, and she is really domineering when she is domineering.

If she is really instigated and used, I'm afraid not many people will be able to stop her.

"Children are important, and concubines understand." Liu Jinyu's face suddenly became extremely serious.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Being in the center, it is inevitable to make enemies!" ”

……

It's seven o'clock, and the sun is shining.

Daming Palace, outside the Zichen Palace.

Li Xuan stood beside Li Xian and Li Jinxing, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Dan.

Last night, when discussing the situation of this war, Yu Ze made a very interesting assumption.

If the British king Li Xian can be used as bait to lure the Tibetan cavalry to appear; In this case, why can't the same thing happen to Prime Minister Li Dan.

Li Xuan was speechless for an instant.

Li Xian is the bait in the trap, how much better can Li Dan's situation be?

Li Xian was targeted by the Tubo people, which is by no means a thing worth looking forward to.

Then Li Dan, who has the same identity, is absolutely impossible to be ignored by those people.

The Tibetans may not have sent a large army across the vast desert to Dunhuang to hunt down Li Dan, but it is quite possible to send a small force of cavalry, led by internal spies, to try to capture Li Dan.

Even if it fails to be captured, it is definitely worth it to attract Tang Ting's attention and relieve them of positive pressure.

At this moment, as if sensing Li Xuan's gaze, Li Dan turned his head, nodded slightly at Li Xuan, and smiled gently.

"Spread the King of England, the King of Nanchang, the British Audience!"

Li Xuan immediately looked solemn, and then followed behind Li Xuan and Li Jinxing, and walked into the Zichen Palace.

Your Majesty's resignation, after your Majesty's resignation, immediately set off.

"Sons Li Xian, ministers Li Xuan, Li Jinxing, meet Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The three of them bowed solemnly to the emperor and the martial queen sitting above, as well as Li Xian who was standing on the side.

The emperor raised his hand slightly and said, "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yan Guogong." The emperor first called Li Jinxing.

"The minister is here!" Li Jinxing raised his head with a solemn expression and took a step forward.

"In this battle of Qinghu, Aiqing has a great responsibility, and I grant Aiqing the right to cut first and then play, Taozhou, Hezhou, but where there is a disobedience to the history, you can cut it first and then play." Li Zhi waved his hand, and Wang Fuli on the side immediately put an extremely sharp imperial sword directly into Li Jinxing's hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jinxing couldn't help but kneel down, he is a member of the Su Mo Yan tribe, this battle, the emperor did not give his son Li Xian, the king of England, the right to behead first, nor did he give it to the young Honglu Temple Shaoqing, who has always been smart and decisive, capable and favored, but gave it to himself, the weight of grace and trust, which can be seen.

The gratitude in Li Jinxing's heart surged up all of a sudden, and his expression was excited.

"Okay, Aiqing, get up." Li Zhi hurriedly raised his hand and said with emotion: "In this war, Taohe Road should meet the needs and give priority to supplying the right leading army to the guard. ”

"The ministers obey." Li Xuan, Li Xian, and Li Jinxing gave up their orders at the same time.

Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan and took a deep breath: "King of Nanchang! ”

"The minister is here!" Li Xuan stepped forward calmly and steadily, and bowed.

"You have always been prudent in your work, and you have a keen eye, after the right leader of the army Wei enters the plateau, you are fully responsible for the transportation and supply of all logistics and baggage for the march of Taohe Road, if the relevant personnel have dereliction of duty and damage to the army, they will be immediately imprisoned and handed over to the three law divisions for strict punishment." Li Zhi's expression turned cold, and the army he had painstakingly built for many years was not allowed to have any problems.

"Obey." Li Xuan bowed again.

"The King." Li Zhi finally looked at his own son.

"Erchen is here!" At this time, Li Xian raised his head with his chest straight, stepped forward and arched his hands, and finally looked solemn like an adult.

"San Lang, this time I went to Lintao, you are responsible for the sacrifice, communicate with the three elders, contact the scholars, appease the soldiers, act less and see more on weekdays, Yan Guogong and the King of Nanchang are examples for you to learn, the suggestions of the two of them, you have to listen carefully, control your subordinates, don't mess around and disturb the place......" Li Zhi continued to speak, and the martial queen on the side finally couldn't help coughing, now it is really more and more outrageous.

Li Zhi turned around and glanced at Empress Wu, and said helplessly: "It's the first time for him to go to such a far place, and it's the first time for him to be a fierce soldier, and I'm a father, so don't you want to say a few more words...... Alright, alright, I'll say a few words. ”

Li Zhi's expression became solemn, and he said: "San Lang, this time I went to Lintao, on the way, what I saw and heard, I wrote a recital to the palace every three days. ”

"The retainers obey." Li Xian hurriedly gave up his hand, although there was a trace of bitterness on his face, but he didn't know why, but he had a feeling that he couldn't move.

Li Zhi nodded, and turned his head to look at Li Xuan: "Twenty-seven Lang, along the way, you urge him for one more day, if there is anything wrong with him, you can also write a recital every three days." ”

"Obey." Li Xuan's expression was calm, and he bowed his hands heavily.

This is a long time coming, but this time he didn't have to go through the East Palace, which somewhat surprised him.

Li Zhi glanced sideways at Li Xian, then looked to the side, and said, "Serve the wine!" ”

The chamberlain on one side had already carried three trays and came to Li Xian, Li Xuan and Li Jinxing respectively, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, toast for me." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xian solemnly walked in front of Li Xian, Li Xuan and Li Jinxing, and sincerely toasted one by one: "San Lang, Uncle Wang, Yan Guogong, this trip is precious." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you Queen, thank you, thank Your Majesty." The three of them took their glasses and drank them all without the slightest hesitation.

"This battle, ten thousand wins."

"Datang, Wansheng."

……

On both sides of the Wei River, flags are displayed, soldiers and horses are numerous, and swords and guns are cold.

The first to open was the left guard and right guard army under Pei Xingjian, the head of the Lanshan Road march.

Secondly, it was the army of the right leading guard and the left guard under the command of Liu Xianli, the head of the march of Ganliang Road.

After that, there was the army of the right leading guard and the right guard under the command of Li Xian, the marching marshal of Taohe Road, and the left guard and the right guard army under the command of Li Dan, the marching marshal of Shasu Road.

The last to open was the army of Zuotunwei and Right Weiwei under the command of Li Xiaoyi, the head of the march of Jiannan Road.

"Most of the marching armies of various provinces have already set up the front line half a month ago, and there are even many of them, which are already stationed in the local area."

On the avenues on both sides of the Wei River, the armies of all walks of life took boats and most of the soldiers along the coast to escort grain and grass, while the remaining cavalry took the lead and was in good order.

Li Xuan turned to look at Li Xian, who was standing solemnly under the weeping willows, watching the tens of thousands of troops pull out, silently speechless, and said in a deep voice: "The 30,000 troops who set off this time are mostly used for supplementation and backup, Taozhou is in the rear of the army, but there are 5,000 right guards under the command of the minister, 2,000 of them will be deployed in the various checkpoints and passes in front. ”

Li Xian nodded seriously, there were only 30,000 troops in front of him, but when they spread out, there was already a feeling of boundlessness, but just this, it was only used to supplement the backup.

The real elites of a hundred battles have long been waiting on the front line of the border, some have even rushed forward a hundred miles to check the movements of the enemy, and some are sharpening their knives in the rear, just waiting for the commander's order.

Li Xian turned his head to look at the other side: "Master Yao, take a look at the marching time and road map of the military department." ”

"Whoa!" Yao Lingzhang immediately took out a copy of this chapter from his body and handed it to Li Xian.

Li Xian looked at it and said softly: "Within five days, from Chang'an to Lintao, Uncle Wang, will this time be a little too tight?" ”

From Chang'an to Lintao, the road is far away, and you have to rush over within five days, which is not because of time constraints, but because you are crazy.

"The soldiers are fast." Li Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he said softly: "The logistics baggage is heavy, it arrives after being transported by boat, the foot and cavalry are slow, and the grain and grass are escorted behind, and the cavalry of the front army, if you march quickly, you can kill Lintao in less than three days, not to mention that the prefectures and counties along the way have prepared tents and food, Your Highness should suffer from this." ”

A gloating smile appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, but his expression immediately became solemn.

The Tubo cavalry was able to kill from the plateau to Chang'an in three days, but the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty set off from Chang'an, even if it was a rapid march and proper arrangements along the way, it would take five days to arrive at Lintao, and the difference in strength between the two sides had begun to be revealed.

This battle is going to be difficult.

The emperor sent Li Xian, and the cavalry rushed to Lintao within five days, and I don't know how many people would be frightened to death.
