Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Tian Meng's words made all the village chiefs finally feel relieved. After receiving their own tasks, they each quickly rode back to their own villages. Naturally, they were the ones who persuaded the villagers to go.

But as Tian Meng said, after Cui Liang assembled [-] cavalry, he quickly headed towards Shiwei Prefecture. The road opened up there should be detoured.

Fortunately, they don't need to go fast now, they just need to go slowly.

And they need to set up some supply points along the way in the future, and these supply points are not prepared for them, but for the subsequent transportation team.

In some uninhabited areas, set up relevant oboos, or signage for directions, etc.

When dispatched in Hanhai Prefecture, Li Shiji, who was far away in Youzhou, naturally also received the briefcase delivered by Li Ke from Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian had rushed to the lower reaches of the Yellow River a long time ago, but it took a long time to reach the front line from the lower reaches of the Yellow River. After all, moving in this direction was to get close to the front line. As the crown prince, his safety must be the top priority.

Moreover, during this period of time, the north is still icy and snowy, so it is naturally impossible to travel at full speed for safety.

Therefore, the time it took for Li Chengqian to travel from Youzhou to the front line was much longer than the time it took him to arrive in Youzhou from Chang'an.

"His Royal Highness, if you have any requirements for food and accommodation, you can tell me. Your Highness has explained that you must pay attention to your safety." Li Shiji said with a smile after saluting Li Chengqian.

"I don't have any requirements. I am a person who can endure hardship. With so many soldiers on the front line, what do they live in, what do I live in, and what do they eat? I will eat what they eat. This time I came to the front line for Saburo. When the time comes, you will arrange for me to go down to the front line." Let’s inspect the barracks, and I have to take Li Ke’s place to condolences to them.” When Li Chengqian arrived here, he naturally stopped pretending.

Because he knew that if he said some things here, no one would say them to Chang'an, so he naturally didn't care.

"Eh?" Li Shiji was taken aback by Li Chengqian's words. What does it mean to come down to comfort these soldiers on behalf of His Majesty? Why don't you say that you are replacing His Majesty?

"This time against Goguryeo, what does General Li think the odds are?" Li Chengqian did not intend to explain.

"Ten percent." Li Shiji nodded his head very simply.

"That's good, then I'm relieved." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I'll go to rest first, and then I'll go to see the soldiers during dinner. You first look at the things that Saburo gave you."

"Your Highness, you are the supreme commander here, shouldn't you stay and watch with me?" Li Shiji was stunned for a moment.

"No, General Li, you are wrong. You are the frontline commander, the commander in chief. Although I am here, but you pretend that I do not exist, I will not interfere with any command operations of yours, nor will I interfere with any other operations of yours. Whether it's logistics or other things, understand? Don't worry about me." Li Chengqian shook his head very simply.

"So, I'll go back and have a rest now, and then you deal with these things first." Li Chengqian pointed to the things in Li Shiji's hand, and then said.

"This... I obey." Li Shiji hesitated for a moment, but nodded directly.

He didn't have any other ideas. After staying away from Chang'an for several years, Li Shiji didn't know much about the current situation in Chang'an, but Li Chengqian was very sincere when he said this, which Li Shiji can be sure of.

Since His Royal Highness spoke so sincerely, Li Shiji naturally stopped being entangled. When the Tang Dynasty fought abroad, it was true that the highest commanding general had all the commanding power, and other people generally would not interfere with this.

After Li Chengqian left, Li Shiji opened the package in his hand.

There was a special sealant inside. Li Shiji opened the thing, and after seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned.

Is... Your Highness is telling the truth?If it's true... isn't this too powerful?

Hasn't the interior of Goguryeo become a sieve?The opponent can easily get all the military deployment maps of Goguryeo?Can it even assist them to cooperate internally and externally?

This... Li Shiji couldn't believe what he saw, but since His Highness said so, and he sent this document back through His Royal Highness, it means that the contents inside must be true.

However, this matter has to be confirmed by personnel from the Ministry of Intelligence.

This document contained instructions requiring the intelligence agencies to fully cooperate with their front-line operations, so after reading it, Li Shiji immediately called the guards.

"Go ask Temple Master Gaoxu to come here."

Gao Xu is the head of the Youzhou Information Temple. Li Shiji knew him, but most of the time, the other party rarely communicated with Li Shiji and the others. But this time in the battle with Goguryeo, the other party followed them all the time. At present, a lot of information has also been provided.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his 40s appeared here. The other party was not wearing a military uniform, and his clothes were also extremely simple. Most of the time, the other party was wearing a cotton padded jacket filled with linen.

And the appearance is not new. Walking in this kind of clothes in the small towns nearby, or even in the villages and towns, I don't think he is a big man, and it is different from the pampered skin of most nobles and officials. The skin on his body is very Rough and cracked, it looks like ordinary people who are working.

After getting to know each other, Li Shiji found it hard to believe that this was a fourth-rank official from Datang, and even a seventh-rank county magistrate was more like an official than he looked.

"I met General Li." Gao Xu came in and saluted Li Shiji.

"Master Gao is too polite. Please come here, Master Gao. I want you to take a look at this." Li Shiji handed the document that Li Chengqian brought over to Gao Xu.

Gao Xu carefully read the document. He even carefully checked and verified the part about the seal inside and then stood up again and said to Li Shiji: "General Li, His Royal Highness ordered that all intelligence agencies in Youzhou and other places should They all obey General Li’s orders, and any General Li who has anything to do with intelligence can ask us, or ask us for intelligence or even operational support.”

"Our intelligence department must do our best."

"Okay then, please tell me what's going on with Liu Zhao, Master Gao?" Li Shiji asked curiously, "Is he an important official under Yuan Gai Suwen?"

"Yes." Gao Xu directly gave an affirmative answer.
