After the discussion at the Liangyi Palace ended, Li Ke returned to the mansion and began to think about the specific dispatch of troops. Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji to be responsible for handling the envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun, which shows that he had a decision on sending troops to Shuofang, which would make Changsun Wuji's relationship with Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty.

And half a month passed, and what surprised Li Ke was that there was no movement on Li Shimin's side.

Li Shimin neither agreed to send troops nor did he want to meet the envoys from Tubo and Tuyuhun, which made Li Ke very puzzled. Could it be that Li Shimin had another idea in his mind? Therefore, Li Ke summoned Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia and Xu Jingzong to discuss. Everyone's consensus was that Li Shimin was planning and was planning for Shuofang, which dispelled Li Ke's concerns.

On that day, Li Ke was watching the Shuofang map in the study and found that Yang En was coming in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the court has a new order!" Yang En said to Li Ke, "The emperor has ordered Xue Wanche to be transferred back to Beijing to train a new army, and has appointed Pang Xiaotai as the governor of Lingzhou, and has transferred Cheng Zhijie to Chang'an!"

"Cheng Zhijie?" Li Ke asked puzzledly, why did Li Shimin let Cheng Yaojin return to Chang'an at this time? Could it be that Li Ke suddenly realized and seemed to understand the key point. That is, Li Shimin's investigation into Cheng Zhijie's return to Chang'an will give him a new appointment, that is, the Great Governor of Youzhou. Cheng Yaojin in history did hold the position of Great Governor of Youzhou, and he has been doing it for more than ten years.

Only then did Li Ke dare to be truly sure that his suggestions were adopted by Li Shimin, and the days when the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Shuofang were not far away!

Li Ke was so excited that he was talking to Yang En, and then he saw Wang Zhongchang quickly coming to the study.

"Your Highness, the prince conveys the emperor's imperial edict and is waiting for you in the Juyi Palace!" Wang Zhongchang said to Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled faintly, "Go to Juyi Palace!"

When he came to Juyi Hall with Yang En and Wang Zhongchang, he saw Wang De drinking tea. When he saw Li Ke, he stood up and pronounced the imperial edict to Li Ke. When Wang De's even finished reading, Wang Zhongchang's face turned pale and his eyes were about to spit out of fire. It turned out that the content of the imperial edict said that Shuofang was defeated and Li Ke was wrongly recommended, so he removed his position as the governor of Bingzhou. No wonder Wang Zhongchang was very angry, which was indeed a bad omen for Li Ke. But Li Ke laughed instead of angry, happily took the imperial edict from Wang De, and personally sent Wang De to the door of the mansion, and then returned to the study.

"Where are you angry?" Li Ke asked Wang Zhongchang with a smile.

"Your Highness, Li Ji and the Prince were defeated. What does it have to do with you? You are not the only one who recommends them! The emperor is too partial!" Wang Zhongchang said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense, my father has only his arrangement!" Li Ke scolded.

"No" Wang Zhongchang left the study room in disappointment.

Li Ke was removed from the position of Bingzhou Grand Governor, and it spread throughout the residences of the ministers of Chang'an within an hour. Except for a few central ministers, no one knew why His Highness Bei had offended the emperor and would make the emperor so angry, and he was completely removed from his position as Bingzhou Grand Governor. Everyone knew very well that the Northern King could have today's status and power due to his merits when he was the Chief Governor of Bingzhou.

However, the courtiers were only surprised for a long time.

In the evening, when an imperial edict was issued from the palace, everyone was surprised by the empress's cloth. The content of this imperial edict was to appoint Cheng Zhijie as the governor of Youzhou and change Su Dingfang to the governor of Bingzhou.

These personnel appointments surprised us from the Tang Dynasty court officials. Everyone was discussing a topic, that is, His Highness Beiwang really offended the emperor, otherwise why would he even have the most important position of the Great Governor of Youzhou to Cheng Zhijie?

However, only the central ministers knew very well that this was the emperor's layout and plan, intending to confuse the envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun in Chang'an, and also paving the way for His Highness the Northern King to serve as the chief marching officer of the Northwest Road.

Sure enough, half a month later, Li Shimin finally issued a series of appointments. Li Ke was appointed as the chief marching manager of the Northwest Road, Su Dingfang was the chief marching manager of the Shuzhong Road, Du Junchuo was the chief marching manager of the Lingzhou Road, and Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo were both controlled by the Northern King Li Ke.

As soon as the order from the military book was issued, the court officials discovered that the emperor was going to send troops to Shuofang and to start a war with Tubo and Tuyuhun!

Immediately, Li Shimin gathered the ministers of the Kung Fu in Liangyi Hall to discuss, and asked Cen Wenben to supervise the food and grass matters of the Shuofang army, and let Chai Shao take charge of the food and grass and supplies of the Shuofang army. In addition, he also gave Li Ke an order to prepare the army and send troops to Shuofang before March 12th!

When Li Ke received his appointment as the chief marching commander of the Northwest Road, he began to order Su Dingfang of Youzhou and Du Junchuo Tongzhou to lead the 50,000 heavy cavalry camps and 10,000 Youzhou iron cavalry to go to Liangzhou first, Du Junchuo led the 30,000 Turkic cavalry to Lingzhou, and issued two transfer orders to Taiyuan. The first transfer order was to let the 50,000 black cavalry stationed outside Taiyuan City drive the 50,000 black cavalry stationed outside Taiyuan City drive the 50,000 black cavalry stationed outside Taiyuan City drive the 50,000 road to Liangzhou stand by, and the second transfer order was to let the 3,500 Eagle Guards and Ren Hu's 20,000 ghost-faced cavalry and Hou Hu's 10,000 wolf cavalry camp return to Chang'an quickly.

Li Ke had his own ideas about some of the orders of transfer, that is, Youzhou could be given up, but no elite soldiers in Youzhou could be left behind. He also asked the Ghost Face Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry Camp to return to Chang'an. In addition to walking with him to Liangzhou, he also wanted to give Li Shimin and the ministers in the court to calm down and tell them that the Tang Dynasty would fight against Tubo and Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty would definitely win! Because, he knew very well that the geographical location of Tubo and Tuyuhun was special, and it was not necessary to use it quickly. If you want to destroy Tuyuhun and destroy Tubo, you would not be able to do it for three or five years.

When Li Shimin's appointment was issued and Li Ke's transfer order was issued, the entire Tang Dynasty court began to operate.

In just three days, the Wolf Cavalry Camp and the Ghost Face Cavalry had arrived in Chang'an City.

Li Ke asked the two cavalry camps to camp outside the city, and only 3,500 Eagle Guards entered the city. He went to the palace to say goodbye to Li Shimin.

"Father, the army is ready. I want to set off to Liangzhou tomorrow!" Li Ke said to Li Shimin in the imperial study room of Ganquan Palace.

"There are three days left before the army sets off. Are you leaving so soon? Are the army fully prepared?" Li Shimin asked.

"I have ordered the Northern Palace Jingqi to stand by in Liangzhou, and the Ghost Face Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry Camp are stationed outside the city! You can set off at any time!" Li Ke replied to Li Shimin, "Soldiers are very fast, I want to set off tomorrow!"

"I heard that you also mobilized Li Yan and Li Zong to the army this time?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

"Li Yan and Li Zong are both descendants of the royal family, so they should go into the military and practice!" Li Ke replied cautiously.

"If I hand over the Zi Nu to you and let him follow you, would you like?" Li Shimin said lightly.

"My ninth brother wants to join the army, as long as he is not afraid of suffering, he has no objection!" Li Ke said lightly.

Although he was surprised why Li Shimin said so, he still obediently agreed to Li Shimin.

"Zhinu is still young, so let him stay in Chang'an for a few more years!" Li Shimin said lightly, "Tomorrow, I will give the army farewell to the Zhuque Gate!"

"Thank you, Father!" Li Ke bowed and left the imperial study room.

Immediately, he came to Qianqiu Palace to say goodbye to Concubine Yang. The mother and son talked for a long time before Li Ke left the palace.

The next day, Li Shimin gave Li Ke's army farewell to the Zhuque Gate.

In fact, the army was already in Liangzhou, and there were only Li Ke’s four thousand black-clad guards in front of Zhuque Gate.

Apart from Wang Zhongcheng and the captain of the guards, there is only Xu Jingzong, the military service Sima!

Today, Li Ke is still wearing a black royal robe, with the red sword around his waist, but he has an extra horse spear in his hand, adding a bit of heroic spirit.

Li Shimin and the central ministers toasted Li Ke and his group. Li Ke kept drinking glasses, and then he left Li Shimin and rode a horse to lead 4,000 Eagle Guards out of Chang'an City. Outside the city, the 10,000 Wolf Cavalry Camp and 20,000 Ghost Face Cavalry Cavalry were already ready to go.

"Hou Hu, Ren Hu will meet His Highness!"

Hou Hu and Ren Hu rode a horse to Li Ke.

"Set out!" Li Ke said lightly.

"No" and the two left.

Thirty-forty-three thousand black-clothed elf rode onto the pipe and slowly headed towards him!

Near the Weishui Bridge, Li Ke rode his horse and couldn't help but look at the familiar forest.

Suddenly, he strangled the war horse in surprise!

On March morning, in the faint sunlight, a woman in green stood quietly on the path at the entrance of the woods! In an instant, Li Ke was stunned! He didn't know how to speak, but just sat upright on the horse's back. Slowly, the green figure walked step by step to his war horse and put a cloth bag in the road. He knelt down silently, kowtowed three times, and suddenly stood up, disappeared from his sight like a flying...

Li Ke was confused, and his heart began to hurt. He clearly heard Lin Nei's heavy breathing and whimpering, but his man stared at the saddle like a nail and did not move.

After a long time, Li Ke recovered and jumped off the horse's back, and picked up the bag in the Tao. Under the rising sun and the morning glow, the four bright red typing on the bag's skin was in their eyes - cold and cold! A heart moved, and reached out to caress, wet and stuck to hands, which turned out to be a big word for blood!

With a "boom--" sound, Li Ke felt his blood surge. He opened his bag and saw a black sable cloak showing his eyes. On it, a golden eagle with two wings flying and sharp claws hovering vividly in the sky.

Li Ke was stunned for a long time before he put his cloak on his body, bowed deeply to the woods, turned around and stepped onto the war horse, and led the army to disappear on the official road.

A green figure appeared in the woods, standing at the entrance of the road for a long time. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, but a leisurely singing sounded by the woods—

Yanyan is flying, and the feathers are broken.

The son is returned and sent far away to the wilderness.

Looking at me without seeing it, weeping like rain.

Yanyan is flying, and Jie is shaking it.

The son is coming back, and far away from him,

Looking at me but not seeing you, standing and crying.
