Li Shimin stood for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally said:

"Li An, inform the Duke of Yiguo, let him transfer two thousand elite cavalry of Zuo Wuwei to catch up with King Ji, be responsible for protecting King Ji's westward journey, and obey King Ji's dispatch along the way,

Wang De issued an order, and Li Shen, the king of Ji, was appointed as the governor of Anxi, temporarily controlled the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and informed Shangshu to pass the decree through the three provinces, and quickly sent someone to pass the decree to King Ji.

Hmph, a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, who only brought 1,500 people with him so far, and didn't even have a guard of honor, what a nonsense. ”

"Yes"

The two agreed at the same time and began to act urgently, and Li An hurried to the mansion of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo. Directly explain the meaning.

"Yiguo Gong, Your Majesty has a decree, transfer two thousand elite horsemen to Zuo Wuwei, protect King Ji along the way to the west, and obey King Ji's dispatch on the way, and the holy decree will immediately go from the door to the Zuo Wuwei camp, and Yiguo Gong will arrange it now."

"Minister's Order" Qin Qiong immediately got up and went to the Zuo Wuwei camp after receiving the order, as the general of Zuo Wuwei, it was his duty to transfer troops.

Although Qin Qiong didn't know why Li Shen would go west, Li Shen saved his life, and since Li Shimin said that he wanted to ride well, he would definitely pick out the most elite cavalry to protect Li Shen.

Soon the holy decree arrived at the Zuo Wuwei camp, and after a while, a team of men and horses rushed out of the Zuo Wuwei camp, the first one was a young general, silver helmet and silver armor, a spear in his hand, and sat on a white horse.

This person is Qin Qiong's son - Qin Huaidao, Qin Qiong learned that it was to protect Li Shen, so he decided to let his son go, first, the two of them were familiar, and secondly, they did their best, and Qin Huaidao learned that he was going to protect Li Shen who was traveling west, which was more positive than his father.

Qin Huaidao was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he galloped all the way, and caught up with Li Shen in half a day, and Li Shen would definitely not be able to go fast with the convoy.

When Tie Niu told Li Shen that a large number of cavalry were catching up behind him, Li Shen wondered if it was because he ran away from home, and the father wanted to arrest him back.

Seeing that the person who came was Qin Huaidao, he was even more puzzled, why did he send the juniors, and the older generation was thin-skinned?

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Ji, Your Majesty has a decree, and King Ji will accept the decree."

Hearing Qin Huaidao's words, Li Shen hurriedly got out of the car.

"Disciple: Li Shen, the king of Fengji, is the governor of Anxi, inspecting the affairs of Anxi, and temporarily controlling the ..... of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate"

The holy decree is very simple, because it is not a reward, and there is no need to say that it is false, and Li Shimin is in a hurry, so the holy decree is written more straightforwardly.

However, Li Shen understood that he had been promoted again, and the governor of Henan Province now that the road has been repaired, it seems that there is no more.

Now I have given another governor of Anxi to inspect Anxi, what are you inspecting?

Li Shen took the holy decree and read it again, well, that's right, he was promoted.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty asked the minister to lead Zuo Wuwei and two thousand elite horsemen along the way to protect His Highness's safety. Obey the command of His Highness. Then Qin Huaidao said again

"Well, then you just escort the carriage, there is no danger on the road ahead, it is all in my Datang territory, and you should pay attention to it after crossing Xizhou. So don't be too nervous ahead. Li Shen said with a smile.

Looking at Qin Huaidao's dress, Li Shenting was envious, this is Changshan Zhao Zilong.

It's a pity that Li Shen was born lazy, doesn't like to practice martial arts, and doesn't like sports.

"Huaidao, otherwise, you take off your armor and take a car with this king, there is nothing dangerous on the road ahead." Li Shen proposed to Qin Huaidao.

"Back to His Royal Highness, my father stipulated that if the men of the Qin family are not special, they are not allowed to ride in a car, but only on horseback."

Li Shen was stunned, is this Qin family's family style still so tough? But in this case, Li Shen can't force it. ，

So 2,000 cavalrymen escorted both sides of the carriage and marched westward.

The next day, when he came to Niuji Mountain, Li Shen met Xue Rengui.

When Qin Huaidao saw Li Shen's fifteen hundred guards, he was also shocked. These men were so disciplined that they were able to keep the ranks neat even on horseback. Dressed in black armor and wearing a black helmet, he couldn't see the faces of these people at all.

Everyone immediately had a compound bow, a crossbow, a Tang knife at his waist, spears hung on most of the saddles, and only a few hundred people hung horse lances.

In Qin Huaidao's opinion, this is already armed to the teeth. And the main thing is that five or six hundred of them rode Dawan horses from the Western Regions, and the others also rode Xue Yantuo horses.

How much does it cost to feed these horses for a year? Qin Huaidao couldn't help but sigh, King Ji's Mansion was really rich. Raising horses costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

After meeting Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui was personally responsible for the escort of the large carriage that Li Shen did, and the two thousand guards brought by Qin Huaidao were responsible for the periphery.

This large army went to Anxi in this way, and when passing by Qingshui Yaoyi, Ningyuan's general Chi Hongbo thought that someone had attacked Yaoyi.

After seeing Li Shen's waist card, he dared to come out to greet him. Li Shen expressed his gratitude for the interception of the Tibetan delegation last time.

Li Shen didn't stay long, refused Wei Chi Hongbo's invitation, and led the team all the way to the west, Li Shen suddenly felt that if Tang Seng learned scriptures on his scale, he wouldn't have to go for ten years.

I don't know if Wang Xuance sent Tianzhu to Tianzhu in history to take this road.

As soon as he thought of Wang Xuance, Li Shen remembered that Wang Xuance had also been gone for a month, and he estimated that he should arrive in Pyongyang, and he didn't know if the plan would go smoothly or not.

And at this moment, Wang Xuance, who made Li Shenxin miss it, was sitting with the two of them, drinking tea and chatting.

One of them was wearing a five-grade Datang official uniform, and it was Chen Dade, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Another person was dressed as a gorgeous Goguryeo nobleman, and his body was fat and bloated, and this person was the treasure king Wei Minggao Treasure.

Wang Xuance has been here for six or seven days, and he found Chen Dade as soon as possible, conveyed the meaning of the imperial court, and asked him to send someone to contact the old department of the former Sui Dynasty, and promised these people that after the matter is completed, they can return to their hometowns, give them land, and live as the people of the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty will not pursue the fact that they are the old subordinates of the former Sui. Chen Dade immediately sent someone to contact him after hearing this, in fact, over the years, Chen Dade also knew the whereabouts of some of the former Sui's old subordinates, but he was just a five-grade petty official, and he couldn't promise these people anything.

Now that the imperial court is interested in soliciting, he is also quick to connect, and there has always been a connection between these people.

"My lord, my lord already said when he came, he supports you. What I pay the most attention to in Datang is orthodoxy, and now Na Yuan Gai Suwen is arbitrary and independent, controlling the government, which is no different from rebellion.

For such rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, and my prince is no exception, so this time we brought weapons to the king to help the king get back everything that belongs to him. Wang Xuance said to the Treasure King.

"King Ji is benevolent and righteous, but this king now has a limited number of generals, and it is not easy to overthrow Yuangai Suwen. Even if King Ji sent a weapon, it would be useless without soldiers. I don't know if His Royal Highness King Ji can lend some soldiers to this king, and this king will be grateful after the matter is completed. The Treasure King said that there was no one around him who could use it, and he wanted Li Shen to send some troops.
