I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen issued a series of orders, and soldiers immediately went down to deliver the orders. Li Shen was timid and felt that 10,000 people might not be enough.

The opponent came well prepared and dispatched 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry. What if they were no match?

If he had enough horses, he might be ready to abandon the city for rescue, and then 50,000 cavalry would be dispatched together.

It is a pity that the Qinghai Dadu Protectorate only has 10,000 cavalry, because they belong to the frontier army and guard the important towns.

There was no need to attack. The target was originally given at 5,000. This was because Li Shen was acting like a rogue.

The main reason is that it is too expensive to feed war horses.

After the order was issued, Li Shen bowed deeply to Li Tai and Li Zhi.

"Brothers, I'm leaving right now. If something unexpected happens, I hope you won't forget what you just said.

My brother is very grateful. "

"Tenth brother..." Li Tai's eyes were slightly red and he was choked with sobs as he spoke.

"Deputy Protector Li, after I leave, everything will depend on you. You must assist King Wei and King Jin to guard this fortress and don't let this Protector down."

Li Shen turned around and ordered to Li Zhiming again.

"Don't worry, Protector, I will obey the orders of the two princes and guard this important city." Li Zhiming assured with clasped fists and a salute.

Li Shen stepped forward, held Li Zhiming's hands, and said loudly.

"I'll leave everything to you."

Then he took the opportunity to whisper when he was close to Li Zhiming:

"If there is anything wrong with them, kill them and I will keep you safe."

Then he patted Li Zhiming on the shoulder, leaving Li Zhiming shocked.

"Brothers, I have to go back and put on my armor before setting off. This place is entrusted to you."

Li Shen saluted again, and the two brothers also nodded heavily.

"Be careful." He also warned.

Afterwards, Li Shen took the people down the city wall and returned to his Protectorate.

Li Tai and Li Zhi looked at each other, their eyes full of something different.

"Oh, it's a pity that my health is not good, otherwise I wouldn't let my tenth brother take the risk." Li Tai sighed.

Li Zhi also echoed:

"Fourth brother doesn't have to blame himself. Tenth brother will definitely have good fortune and will be fine. As a royal child, he has been learning martial arts since he was a child.

The tenth brother will definitely show off his skills and conquer all directions. "

"Go down with the order and observe the movements of the Tibetan enemy troops at all times." Li Tai issued the first order to Li Zhiming.

There are still 30,000 troops on our side and only 50,000 on the enemy's side. The defense of the city is almost guaranteed, so the two of them are not very worried.

In less than half an hour, the north gate opened wide, and a large number of people divided into two square formations and galloped towards the east.

Because the horses are different, it is easy to see that they are divided into two square formations. The speed of the square formation in front has been accelerating. They are not heading towards the Tibetan military camp.

Instead, they passed by the Tubo military camp. The Tubo army wanted to intercept, but the distance was a bit far. They were a bit slow without cavalry and could not intercept them at all.

Li Tai and Li Zhi looked at the front of the cavalry with binoculars. They saw a distinctive horse at a glance.

He was huge, fat and strong, covered in white fur, and on horseback was a man in silver-white armor. The two men immediately recognized that this man was Li Shen.

Who else but Li Shen could make such a cool armor, and Xiao Bailong and the others had also seen it before.

Behind him were all Li Shen's personal guards, all dressed in black full-body armor and with clear water Dawan horses.

Especially the big guy Li Tieniu, it was hard not to notice him, and Xue Rengui was also following him.

It seems that Li Shen is really going to go all out this time and go into battle in person.

However, the two of them were relieved as soon as they thought about it. This was a great opportunity to perform. Li Shen did not necessarily have to fight if he went there, he could completely command from the rear.

The credit for rescuing the driver was not small at that time. How could Li Shen let go of such an opportunity.

Presumably after this incident, His Majesty's favor for Prince Ji will reach a higher level.

Thinking of the two brothers, they were a little moved. Should they go by themselves just now?

However, the two of them quickly denied that it was too dangerous. The opponent had 50,000 rangers, and it was easy for accidents to happen on the battlefield if the sword had no eyes.

Even their wise and powerful father survived a narrow escape on the battlefield.

What's more, these princes have never experienced war.

And there is another reason why Li Shen is so impatient. His mother, Concubine Wei, is still in His Majesty's team. Everyone knows that Li Shen is filial and it is understandable that he rescued his life mother.

Li Tai and Li Zhi stood on the east wall, watching the Tibetan troops marching around from the west gate to the east gate to join their troops.

~~~~~~~~

Li Shimin's team had been walking for three days from Shanzhou. One day ago, they received a message from Li Shen on a fast horse.

Tibet assembled a hundred thousand troops on the border with evil intentions.

Moreover, the letter concluded that the Tibetan army would definitely attack the city and dissuaded Li Shimin from returning to Shanzhou immediately.

After the Tibetan army retreats, it will not be too late for Li Shimin to go to the Qinghai capital.

This letter was ghostwritten by Wang Xuance himself, and it was stamped with Li Shen's seal of King Ji, so Li Shimin did not doubt the authenticity of the matter.

No matter how mischievous Li Shen was, he would never misuse King Ji's seal. Even if it was to deceive him, Li Shen would at most use his own personal seal, or no seal at all.

Li Shimin asked the person who sent the letter in detail, and the results he got were similar to those in the letter. As soon as Li Sheng discovered the enemy's situation, he sent him a letter asking him to go back.

"Your Majesty, judging from the time, it has been two days now. Based on what I have seen, it is better to return to Shanzhou and wait for news."

Changsun Wuji was the first to suggest.

"I am thinking about the safety of the important cities in Qinghai. It seems that Tubo has only sent out 100,000 troops, but there will inevitably be reinforcements behind.

The important city of Qinghai was very important to the imperial court, and it was also very important to Tibet.

The important city of Qinghai is located at the Chiling Mountain Pass, which is a battleground for military strategists.

Tubo will definitely fight for it with all its strength. "Li Shimin was not too nervous.

"What your Majesty said is that when they agreed to the mutual trade, they only wanted to exchange supplies. Even if they agreed to give Qinghai to the Tang Dynasty,

They will definitely want to take it back in the future.

It's just that they didn't expect that a prince from the Tang Dynasty would actually build such a large fortress at the mountain pass.

This was something they didn't expect, so they regretted it and wanted to seize the city. "Qin Qiong sighed.

At the beginning, Tubo certainly did not expect that Tang Dynasty would build a city in a very short period of time.

It is still an important city.

Only King Ji has such strength. It consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the key is cement.

If it were done before, it would have taken at least three to five years to build.

"It is precisely because of this that I am worried. I am wondering if I want to go and see. We have brought 10,000 horses.

At the critical moment, we can deliver a surprise blow to Tubo. Together with the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Protectorate, we might be able to eat half of Tubo's troops."

Li Shimin thought for a while and replied.
