When Li Ke was traveling this time, he had to go to Huazhou and see Chai Shao before he could go from Huazhou to Liangzhou. The 34,000 black armored cavalry were closely following each other, like a black dragon in the dark night. However, around Li Ke, these three cavalry also have relatives and severity. The Eagle Guard is undoubtedly the cavalry that Li Ke values ​​the most, which is his safety guarantee. Therefore, as long as new swords or armor are released, the first one must be the Eagle Guard. The second is the Wolf Cavalry Camp, which is the earliest cavalry to follow Li Ke. Li Ke is against

This cavalry is very important to let his confidant commander, and this cavalry is equipped with one man and two horses. Even if Li Ke has many horses, the one who can be equipped with one man and two horses is the Wolf Cavalry Camp in addition to the Eagle Guard. As for the Ghost Face Cavalry, if Zheyu made the Ghost Face Cavalry such a great oath, it would not be able to get into Li Ke's four iron guards. Li Ke's four iron guards are the Eagle Guard, the Wolf Cavalry Camp and the Ghost Face Cavalry, and the Hundred Cavalry Camp. However, the Hundred Cavalry Camp is still expanded to 50,000, unlike the five thousand before!

When he was about to arrive in Huazhou, Li Ke tied his horse and summoned Hou Hu to his side. He talked with Hou Hu in detail for a whole stick of incense, and saw Hou Hu leading the Wolf Cavalry Camp suddenly left Li Ke and disappeared into the western sky. Li Ke looked at the Wolf Cavalry Camp that was leaving and silently remained silent. Among the three iron guards beside him, only the Wolf Cavalry Camp could successfully complete his orders.

When the generals of Huazhou heard that the Northwest Road marching chief Beiwang came down to Huazhou, they hurried out to welcome him, but they were still one step late. When they left the city, Li Ke had already arrived at the governor's mansion. Li Ke came to the governor's mansion and met Chai Shao. The two chatted for a few words. Li Ke had a simple meal and immediately went to Liangzhou.

Because, from Chai Shao's mouth, Li Ke learned some situations in Liangzhou, that is, the Tang Dynasty was in danger and with the defeat of the Lan, the morale of the army in the Liangzhou camp was very low. Li Ji was defeated and the souls of the 120,000 soldiers were dismayed by Lan, and he was no longer in the army. Li Chengqian was worried about his position as the prince, and his worry all day long could not boost morale. The Liangzhou camp is now filled with a sad atmosphere. If Tubo and Tuyuhun attack at this time, the Tang Dynasty would be defeated.

Because when Chai Shao heard this message, Li Ke rushed to the road overnight and finally arrived in Liangzhou on the afternoon of the next day.

Liangzhou, this is the last city in the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, and is a fortress used to defend against Tubo and Tuyuhun.

The city is solid and majestic. Although it is not as famous as natural danger as Jiayuguan, the city walls are tall and strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

When Li Ke saw the city of Liangzhou, he realized why Tubo and Tuyuhun did not choose to take the opportunity to capture the Liangzhou fortress. With the natural danger of Liangzhou, as long as there is a defender with good combat power, it is really not something that a large army like Tubo and Tuyuhun can fight with cavalry!

When Li Ke's army arrived at the city of Liangzhou, he saw the suspension bridge and the city gate open. Li Ji led the generals to step out of Liangzhou City.

"I have met His Highness the Northern King!" Li Ji bowed to Li Ke.

"Students have met the principal!" Xue Rengui and Yuwen Guo bowed to Li Ke.

"No need to be polite!" Li Ke said lightly, and he roared with a whip, "Go into the city!"

The black-armored cavalry followed slowly and entered Liangzhou City with Li Ke, making Li Ji, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Guo who were standing aside embarrassed. Seeing the black-armored cavalry beside Li Ke, Li Ji was envious. If he had such an elite cavalry, would he still be defeated by Tubo and Tuyuhun? Li Ji kept asking himself in his heart. When he received a report from the scout today, he knew that Li Ke was going to Liangzhou. In order not to embarrass himself, he specially called Xue Rengui and Yuwen Guo to his side. He believed that with the relationship between the two and Li Ke, Li Ke would not be too cold and would not give him face. But he still didn't expect that Li Ke really didn't give him face.

The soldiers following Li Ji also blushed.

Li Ke entered Liangzhou City and came to the marching camp, and Li Ji followed closely behind.

Beating drums gathered generals, and at the headquarters of the marching general, more than 20 generals from Shuofang gathered together. After Li Ji and Li Ke handed over the military talisman, Li Ji left the military camp and Li Ke took the position of commander.

In addition to Xue Rengui and Yuwen Guo whom he met outside the city, there were Chen Qi, Xue Chong and Pang Xiaotai who arrived quickly. Although he served as the governor of Lingzhou, he still came to Lingzhou to meet the general manager and wanted to hear Li Ke's instructions.

Li Ke sat in the position of commander without saying anything, and the generals dared not speak, so they could only wait silently.

At this time, Xu Jingzong walked into the big tent and said to Li Ke, "Your Highness, the account is still clear!"

"Yan clan, tell me!" Li Ke said lightly.

"Now, there are 20,000 Turkic cavalry, 10,000 Youzhou iron cavalry, and 60,000 Shuofang infantry cavalry!" Xu Jingzong reported to Li Kehui.

"Where is the Beifu Jingqi has now?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"I have passed Huazhou!" Xu Jingzong replied.

When Li Ke marched and fought, he not only worked as a military Sima, but also served as the intelligence work of scouts and spyers.

"Where is the Turkic Spirit Cavalry?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"The Turkic Spirit Cavalry is led by Zadler and will arrive in Lingzhou in two days!" Xu Jingzong replied.

"Send the order!" Li Ke said loudly, "Select 60,000 Shuofang Army, select 5,000 archers, 30,000 elite infantrymen, and the others--let them return to Huazhou, and be dispatched by the governor of Huazhou to be responsible for escorting food and grass."

"No" the generals received the order!

Li Ke waved his hand and the generals withdrew from the headquarters!

Now, only Chen Qi, Yuwen Guo, Xue Chong, Xue Rengui and Xu Jingzong are left!

"Principal! The student is incompetent, and it is embarrassing the Army Academy! Please punish the principal!" Xue Rengui suddenly knelt on one knee and said.

"Please punish the principal?" Yuwen Guo also knelt on one knee and said.

Li Ke did not speak, but stood up and walked a few steps in the pedestal, then replied indifferently, "Do you think it's embarrassing the Army Academy? You're embarrassing the Tang Dynasty!"

After Li Ke said this, he strode away.

As a military center in the northwest, Liangzhou naturally has the General's Mansion.

Li Ji liked to live in the military camp, so he set up a commander account in the headquarters.

But Li Ke was different. He only handed over the military talisman with Li Ji in the headquarters and issued another order, ordering the general to move the general's account to the hall of the general's mansion.

At this time, Li Kegang returned to the General's Mansion and was watching the map of the Shuofang topography of sand and soil in the hall.

I saw Xu Jingzong, Chen Qi, Yuwen Guo, Xue Rengui and Xue Chong walk into the hall!

"You need to say nothing, this defeat in Shuofang is not your fault!" Li Ke said lightly, "You go back and rest first! When the army of the Northern Palace arrives, I will issue specific combat details!"

"Nuo" and the four of them left respectfully.

Only Li Ke and Xu Jingzong were left in the hall.

"Your Highness, Xue Li and Yuwen Guo feel bad!" Xu Jingzong said.

"The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, so let's ignore them for a few days first! This is a good thing for them!" Li Ke said lightly.

He continued to turn his gaze to the sand table again.

Today, the scene he saw in the military camp did scare him. The soldiers were very angry. If Chen Qi had not been trained in the military camp and used their silence and killing energy to suppress the sad atmosphere of the military camp, the Liangzhou army would have probably collapsed now!

"Yan clan, tell Pang Xiaotai that if you want him to return to Lingzhou to rectify the 60,000 elite troops in Lingzhou, you must select 40,000 infantry." Li Ke said lightly, "Also, tell Pang Xiaotai that once the Turkic elite cavalry arrives in Lingzhou, let Du Junchuo and Zadler go to Liangzhou to meet this king!"

"No" Xu Jingzong took the order to leave.

In fact, with the strength of the elite soldiers of the Northern Prefecture, they had already arrived in Liangzhou.

But in order not to alert the enemy and prevent Tubo and Tuyuhun from finding out the true situation of the army, Su Dingfang chose to rest during the day and march at night, which delayed a few days.

Li Ke also knew Su Dingfang's intention in his heart, so he did not blame his slow marching, but waited patiently in Liangzhou.

That night, Li Ke was reading a book in the study and saw Wang Zhongchang report, who was Su Dingfang's army arrived!

Li Ke ordered Wang Zhongcheng to let Su Dingfang lead the army into Liangzhou City.

Wang Zhongchang took the order and left.

After a while, Su Dingfang came to Li Ke's general's mansion in Liangzhou.

"See Your Highness!"

The generals saluted Li Ke.

Li Ke looked up and saw that besides Su Dingfang, there were Guo Shifeng and Pei Xingjian.

"Dingfang, don't be too polite! Let's sit!" Li Ke said with a faint smile. Seeing Guo Shifeng and Pei Xingjian's cramped look, he smiled faintly, "You two can sit there too!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The two of them sat down after hearing Li Ke's words.

"Dingfang, let you serve as the chief marching commander of the Shuzhongdao marching army into the hinterland of Tubo from Shuzhong. This is my suggestion. The journey to enter Tubo in Shuzhong is very difficult. If you encounter a Tubo ambush, the army may be wiped out. After thinking about it, you can only hold this important position. If you have any difficulties, please contact me!" Li Ke said to Su Dingfang.

He knew very well how difficult the road to entering Tubo in Shu was!

Even in later generations, many roads were built, and it was difficult to walk on the Sichuan-Tibet Line, let alone in the Tang Dynasty?

"Just rely on your highness's instructions!" Su Dingfang said with his fists.

"Okay! What I mean is to transfer Chen Qi to you as your deputy general, allocate the Black Cavalry to you, and give you another 20,000 heavy cavalry camp. You can also select 20,000 elite infantrymen in Yizhou. I will give you 120,000 troops, which will allow you to go deep into the hinterland of Tubo, cut off the road to the return of the Tubo army that disturbed Lan, and prevent Songtsen Gampo from sending reinforcements to rescue the Tubo army that disturbed Lan!" Li Ke said.

"Your Highness, don't worry! The last one will definitely complete the task!" Su Dingfang said.

"Well, then you go and have a rest first! You should also think about the specific strategies and tactics yourself. When Du Junchuo and Zadler arrive in Liangzhou, we will discuss the details in detail!" Li Ke said.

"No" Su Dingfang bowed and left the hall.
