Li Ke's face changed a few times. He forced himself to resist the shock in his heart and put a secret security on the table...

"Wang Zhongchang, let's stop the troops and horses, we will return to Chang'an immediately!" Li Ke said seriously.

"Your Highness, the princess and the others have not come back yet?" Wang Zhongchang replied, "Why don't you go and spread them now?"

"No need, leave them a hundred Eagle Guards and let them play enough to return to Chang'an by themselves!" Li Ke refused, "If something happened in Chang'an, we must leave."

"No" King Zhongchang took the order and left with great strides.

Li Ke began to slowly think about the strangeness in the room alone. He really couldn't figure out that a king like Li Shimin would make such a decision - to fight against Goryeo in the north and start a war against Goryeo. The Tang Dynasty court has always regarded itself as benevolence and righteousness, imagined itself as a vassal state, despising the vassal states of all directions, spreading its benevolence and righteousness, and giving favors to the vassal states of all directions. But what happened? How could Li Shimin take the initiative to fight against Goryeo? How did the central ministers in the central central government who have always regarded themselves as etiquette and gentlemen agree to this decision?

Li Ke was confused. He couldn't guess what Li Shimin was thinking. Is it necessary to personally go to Goryeo and lead the imperial army to fight in person?

Suddenly, Li Ke seemed to have found a little trace again. Li Shimin went north to go to Goryeo, and he had very little intentions in it. Maybe someone was urging him behind his back. Who would it be? Will there be such great ability?

Could it be that the recent heavy rain in Luoyang fell and the Luoshui rushed into Luoyang Palace, and some people wanted to use this to ask Li Shimin to fight with Gao Li? Or, Wei Zheng's stimulation of Li Shimin, so the emperor did this?

No, it seems a bit unreasonable!

That is—

Li Ke thought painfully, and he seemed to have grabbed a gap in it, but he could not figure out everything.

"Your Highness, you are ready and you can set off!"

At this time, Wang Zhongchang walked into Fanghui to report.

"Okay--" Li Ke nodded, and whispered his pen at the table. After writing, he handed the letter to Wang Zhongchang and asked the Eagle Guard to send it to the princess. They would understand what this king meant.

After saying that, he left the room with big strides.

Outside the gate of the Northern King of Yangzhou, a hundred eagle guards were ready to go. Li Ke left the mansion and rode his own war horse Xiaobai, and hurriedly disappeared into Yangzhou City.

When Li Ke came to Yangzhou, he took the water route from Yingzhou and the land route when he returned to Chang'an.

So, it took him nearly a month to arrive in Chang'an City.

When he returned to Chang'an, he did not go to the royal palace, but went straight to the northern yamen.

Because he knew that the so-called twelve guards in Chang'an, Li Shimin would definitely pass the Beiya. Another thing is that Beiya and Nanya belong to two different garrison troops in the capital, both of which disliked each other, which made both pay attention to each other's actions. Li Ke believed that the situation of the Nanya army could also be known from the Beiya.

"See the Grand Governor!"

The military Sima in the Northern Yafu bowed to Li Ke.

Although Li Ke still left, his chief generals had not been dismissed yet, and the generals of the Beiya still called him military positions. Besides, the staff and military affairs Sima of the Beiya were basically students of the Army Academy. They belonged to Li Ke’s confidant party and naturally respected Li Ke, so they called him by military title, indicating that Li Ke was still the chief general of the Beiya.

"Where is General Du?" Li Ke asked.

"General Du was summoned by the emperor to Liangyi Hall to discuss military affairs!" said a military service Sima.

"What's going on in Chang'an recently!" Li Ke asked.

"Grandmaster, the emperor mobilized left and right guards from the Northern Yai, a total of 60,000 troops, ready to go to the expedition of Goryeo!" The military Sima continued to answer.

"What's the news over the Nanya?" Li Ke asked.

"It seems that all the Nanya army was recruited. They are the main force in the northern expedition to Goryeo this time!" The military Sima said sourly, and he seemed to be reluctant to let the Nanya army take advantage, and seemed to complain to Jae-kun again.

"Yeah, you guys are busy!" Li Ke smiled faintly and Li Ke sent a North Yai.

Since Du Junchuo went to discuss military affairs, Xu Jingzong, as the magistrate of Chang'an County, was naturally summoned to the palace. As for Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia, Li Ke did not think about summoning them to discuss, so he could only return home in disappointment.

Li Ke was restless when he returned to the mansion. He didn't even have a good dinner, so he came to the room to think about Li Shimin's actions.

At this time, Yang En reported that Xu Jingzong, Du Junchuo, Ma Zhou and others were asking for a meeting.

"Let them come to the room!" Li Ke replied.

After a while, Ma Zhou, Du Junchuo and Xu Jingzong walked into the room.

"See Your Highness!"

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Li Ke said.

When the three of them sat down, the Eagle Guard presented tea and the door of the room was closed, Li Ke asked, "What do you think about the recent situation in Chang'an City?"

"Your Highness——" Xu Jingzong was the first to speak, "I always feel that Chang'an City seems calm from the surface, but it seems to be undercurrents."

"Yan clan, let me tell you specifically, why do you feel this way?" Li Ke asked.

"Because, Chang'an City has been too quiet during this period, so quiet that it is so terrible that it is difficult to adapt to!" Xu Jingzong said, "This is equivalent to the darkness before dawn or the tranquility before the storm comes!"

"Yeah——" Li Ke nodded.

"Your Highness, the emperor has mobilized a large army to fight against Goryeo. This time, the Northern Yamen dispatched 60,000 troops, the Southern Yamen dispatched all 100,000 new troops, and there were 20,000 cavalry in Youzhou and 10,000 naval troops in Yingzhou, and a total of nearly 200,000 troops." Du Junchuo said worriedly, "This time the emperor suddenly issued an order to fight against Goryeo, and dispatched 200,000 troops. I really can't figure it out!"

"What can you understand?" Li Ke asked lightly.

"Does the emperor need to use an army of 200,000 in Goryeo?" Du Junchuo asked in confusion.

"Twenty-hundred thousand army-oh!" Li Ke sighed softly. He knew very well the end of Li Shimin's northern expedition to Goryeo. It was a loss of troops and generals, and hundreds of thousands of troops were still on the battlefield in Liaodong. It was not until Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi that he pacified Goryeo from the surface. But can he say that to Li Shimin now? Can he still stop Li Shimin from the personal expedition? No - definitely not!

"What does Your Highness mean?" Ma Zhou asked immediately.

"The twenty-one army is not necessarily impossible to defeat Goryeo. The key is to fight quickly. The biggest problem of the 200,000 army is food, supplies and supplies!" Li Ke said lightly.

"Don't we have an army of 200,000 in the Northwest War?" Du Junchuo asked in confusion.

"The northwest is a place where the Tang Dynasty has been operating for many years. The grain stockpiled in Guanghuazhou is enough to support the needs of 200,000 troops for several months, let alone other places! Besides, the northwest is not far from Chang'an, and Guanzhong's grain can be sent to Huazhou continuously." Li Ke said jokingly, "But Liaodong is different. The Tang Dynasty rarely experiences important northern towns. Even Youzhou City was just used as a base for fighting against the Turks, not to mention the more remote Yingzhou front line? Also, transporting grain from the hinterland of Guanzhong to Liaodong is a big problem in itself!"

"Also, the Northwest Army is mainly composed of elite troops in the North Prefecture, supplemented by the Turkic army and some Tuyuhun army. These three armies are suitable for long-distance raids. The military rations they need are different from the food of other army members. They only need large bags of water, dry beef and dry food, which is easy to carry and transport is also reduced by manpower and material resources." Xu Jingzong added.

"So, the last general is also very strange. Why didn't the Emperor mobilize the extremely powerful Bingzhou Black Cavalry and the heavy cavalry camp, but instead use the Nanya New Army, which is not trained and lacks actual combat?" Du Junchuo asked in confusion.

"It is because of this reason that I dare not enter the palace and wipe out my father's emperor!" Li Ke expressed his concern, "I think this time my father's expedition to Goryeo is definitely not as simple as we see!"

"Your Highness, I remember something strange!" Ma Zhou thought about it before saying, "The emperor decided to fight north the day after Wei Zheng "Ten Thoughts"."

"Is there any article here?" Li Ke said in confusion.

"Your Highness, why did the emperor decide to fight against Goryeo? Everyone knows in their hearts that this is definitely not just the emperor's idea." Ma Zhou analyzed, "But when will the emperor not issue an order to fight against Goryeo, but after Wei Zheng?"

"You mean-" Li Ke took a breath, "Someone took advantage of Wei Zheng?"

"Not only did Wei Zheng, but also used the heavy rain in Luoyang, and the Luoshui washed away the Luoyang Palace!" Ma Zhou definitely answered.

Li Ke was silent. He already had the answer in his heart. The only person who could use other people's behavior to plan for himself and could play well in the Tang Dynasty court was Changsun Wuji.

"This old owl--" Li Ke cursed fiercely.

"Then what should we do?" Li Ke asked.

"I will watch the changes and use calmness to control it!" Ma Zhou said with no time to think, "Yan tribe said that Chang'an City has been too calm recently, and it seems to be undercurrents. I think it may be the problem in front of me."

"Yeah——" Li Ke nodded in agreement.
