Chapter 1305: I, Li Chengqian, will stop acting
Tian Meng's words made all the village chiefs finally completely relieved, and after each of them received their own tasks, they quickly rode back to their villages, and their respective villagers were naturally persuaded by themselves.
However, as Tian Meng said, after gathering 20,000 cavalry, Cui Liang quickly advanced in the direction of Muroweizhou, where the roads were not easy to walk, they were all dense primeval jungles, and they needed to detour from the roads carved out by Murowei.
Fortunately, they don't need to go fast now, they just need to walk slowly.
And they also need to set up some supply points along the way, and these supply points are not for them, but for the follow-up transport team.
Set up relevant bags in some uninhabited areas, or signs to guide the way, etc.
When he was dispatched from Hanhaizhou, Li Shiji, who was far away in Youzhou, naturally got the briefcase handed over by Li Ke sent by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian had already rushed to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but it still took a long time to reach the front line from the lower reaches of the Yellow River, after all, to advance in this direction was to approach the front line, and as the crown prince, his safety must be the top priority.
Moreover, during this time period, the north is still icy and snowy, and it is cold and freezing, so it is naturally impossible to rush at full speed for safety.
Therefore, the time for Li Chengqian to go from Youzhou to the front line was much longer than the time he took to arrive in Youzhou from Chang'an.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you have any requirements for food and accommodation, you can tell me, Your Highness has explained, and you must pay attention to your safety." After Li Shiji saluted Li Chengqian, he said with a smile.
"I don't have any requirements, I can endure hardships as a person, there are so many soldiers on the front line, what do they live, what do I live, what they eat, I eat. This time, I came to the front line for San Lang, and when the time comes, you arrange for me to inspect the military camp below, and I have to replace Li Ke to comfort them. "When Li Chengqian arrived here, he naturally didn't pretend.
Because he knew that there were some things he said here, no one would say anything to Chang'an, so he naturally didn't care.
"Huh?" Li Shiji was stunned by Li Chengqian's words, what does it mean to consol these soldiers on behalf of His Highness, why don't you say that it is on behalf of Your Majesty?
"What do you think is the chance of winning this battle against Goguryeo?" Li Chengqian didn't want to explain.
"Ten percent." Li Shiji nodded very dryly.
"That's good, then I'll be relieved." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, I'll go to rest first, and then I'll go to see the soldiers at dinner, and you can first take a look at what San Lang handed over to you." ”
"Your Highness, you are the supreme commander here, shouldn't you stay with me to watch it?" Li Shiji was stunned for a moment.
"No, General Li, you are wrong, you are the front line commander, the commander-in-chief. I'm here, but you're pretending I don't exist, and I'm not going to interfere with any of your command operations, or any of your other operations, logistics or otherwise, understand? Don't care about me. Li Chengqian shook his head very dryly.
"So, I'll go back and rest now, and then you take care of these things first." Li Chengqian pointed to the contents of Li Shiji's hand, and then spoke.
"This ...... The ministers obeyed. Li Shiji hesitated, but nodded directly.
He didn't have any other ideas, he had been away from Chang'an for a few years, and Li Shiji was not very clear about the current situation in Chang'an, but Li Chengqian was very sincere when he said this, which Li Shiji was sure of.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke so sincerely, then Li Shiji naturally stopped being entangled, when the Tang Dynasty fought abroad, it was indeed the supreme commander who had all the command power, and others would generally not interfere with this.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Shiji opened the package in his hand.
There was a special fire paint inside, Li Shiji opened this thing, and after seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned.
This...... Is this true, Your Highness? If it's true...... That's amazing, isn't it?
Isn't the interior of Goguryeo already a sieve? Can the other side easily get all the troop deployment maps of Goguryeo? Can it even help them to cooperate with each other inside and out?
This...... Li Shiji couldn't believe what he was seeing, but since His Royal Highness said so, and he sent this document back through His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it means that the content inside must be true.
However, this matter has to be confirmed by the personnel on the part of the Ministry of Intelligence.
This document contained instructions requiring the intelligence department to fully cooperate with them in front-line operations, so after reading it, Li Shiji called the guards as soon as possible.
"Go and ask Sect Chief Gao Xu to come here."
Gao Xu is the head of the Youzhou Intelligence Temple, and Li Shiji knows the other party, but most of the time, the other party rarely communicates with Li Shiji, but this time in the battle with Goguryeo, the other party has always followed them, and has provided a lot of information at present.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties appeared here, the other party was not wearing a military uniform, and the dress was also extremely plain, most of the time the other party was wearing a cotton coat filled with wool in linen.
And the appearance is not novel, such a costume walking in the nearby towns, and even in the township, I don't think he is a big man, and unlike most nobles, officials and other pampered skin, the skin on his body is very rough, chapped, and it looks not much different from those ordinary people who work.
After getting to know each other, Li Shiji found it hard to believe that this was a fourth-grade official of the Tang Dynasty, and even a seventh-grade county official looked more like an official than him.
"I've seen General Lee." Gao Xu came in and saluted Li Shiji.
"Priest Gao is polite, please come over to Priest Gao, I want you to take a look at this." Li Shiji handed the document that Li Chengqian had just brought over to Gao Xu.
Gao Xu read the document carefully, and he even carefully checked and verified the seals and other parts in it before he stood up again and spoke to Li Shiji: "General Li, His Royal Highness has ordered that from today onwards, all intelligence departments in Youzhou and other places will obey General Li's dispatch, and any General Li who has anything to do with intelligence can ask us or ask us for intelligence or even operational support." ”
"We in the intelligence department must do everything we can."
"Okay, then troublesome Sect Chief Gao, tell me first what's going on with this Liu Zhao?" Li Shiji said curiously, "He is an important official under Yuangai Suwen?" ”
"Yes." Gao Xu directly gave a positive answer.
