When Li Xian received the imperial edict, his heart collapsed: What about the agreed rule that the prince does not lead the army?I'm ready to be a civilian for the rest of my life, but you get me a marshal in minutes?Dear father, can you take a look at the shocked prince next to you who even forgot to pretend?

After Li Xian squatted at home face-to-face with Bai Hu for 10 minutes, he got up and ran into the Daming Palace in a hurry. He felt that he needed to talk to his father.

"Why didn't you go and make preparations quickly?" Li Zhi was writing big characters to cultivate his sentiments when he had nothing to do.

However, Li Zhi's handwriting is indeed very beautiful, but he is not healthy and lacks wrist strength when he is old, so he is not as powerful as his handwriting when he was young.

Li Xian looked at Li Zhi with a broken face: "Father, can I change someone? I don't know how to fight, and it's more reliable for you to ask me to be a supervising army than a marshal."

"Didn't you have a good time in Liuzhou and Yangzhou?" Li Zhi didn't care, he had too few sons, and he had to use all the available ones, otherwise the imperial court would be dominated by aristocratic families in the future. What if the royal family can't hold back?

After hearing this, Li Xian was stunned for a moment before he said dumbfoundedly: "Then... what kind of war is that?"

When he was in Liuzhou, he was the defender of the city, as long as he found a way to defend it, he didn't need to attack. When he arrived in Yangzhou...he didn't wait for him to do anything. What a tsunami!Although it can be regarded as a military exploit, he really doesn't have such a big face to regard this as his record.

Li Zhi was very relieved: "It's okay, go, you and Balang are traveling alone, and you will form a pincer attack with Zheng Qingcheng."

Seeing that Li Zhi was determined to send his son to the battlefield, Li Xian couldn't express the pain in his heart, especially because he was worried about Balang and Li Lun. Li Lun was only 14 years old and he was about to go to the battlefield. Swords and guns have no eyes, dear father!

Li Zhi looked at Li Xian's sad face and smiled: "The Tiger Crouching Cannon was made by you, don't you want to see its power?"

Li Xian looked at his father expressionlessly. He really didn't want to look at it, because he had seen the power of powder kegs before. Li Xian didn't even want to go to the scene of flying flesh and blood.

It's just that the old man, the emperor, had a golden mouth, and he refused to change what he said, so Li Xian could only turn his head and run to his mother for comfort.Princess Taiping and Prime Minister Li Lun were there when he went.

Li Lun was talking about something, his little face was red with excitement, and when he saw Li Xian, his big eyes blinked watery: "Brother Seven, my things are all ready, how about yours?"

Li Xian looked at this ignorant kid and said with a bitter face, "I'm ready too."

Empress Wu smiled happily when she saw the completely different reactions of the two brats: "Qilang must take good care of my brother along the way."

After Qilang heard this, he felt even more bitter. It's not that he dislikes being a head teacher for elementary school students, he's just depressed that he doesn't even have the chance to be a head teacher.

"I want to take care of it too, but Balang and I don't go all the way, so we can only communicate by letter." Li Xian became more and more worried as he spoke.

Empress Wu asked, "It's not the same way, you don't go together? Where are you?"

Li Xian quickly explained to Empress Wu that although the four prefectures where Tubo entered the bandits were indeed very close from the map, the problem was that the distance between Shanzhou and the other three prefectures was still relatively far. When the Tang Dynasty divided the troops, the Tang Dynasty had to divide the troops. Zheng Qi went to carry the three states alone. He felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly wrote the military newspaper, because he found that the people in Tubo were not right, and he also vaguely found out Tianzhu people.

Li Xian's impression of Tianzhu was the future India. When he thought that Brother Asan was involved in him, he felt that these countries had taken the wrong medicine?What's the wind?

Interesting, how big is the profit of the Silk Road, not to mention the addition of tariffs and taxes on luxury goods after the Tang Dynasty changed the tax system, so the money collected will make the surrounding countries jealous, okay?

Tubo is also going all out, since he can't monopolize it, then share it with others. Mansong Manzan also knows that Datang will definitely not share it with him. If he eats alone and eats well, you will share it with others when you come here. ah?

So he can only join forces with Dashi and Tianzhu, who are envious of the Silk Road, to attack Datang. Not to mention taking down the Silk Road in the Western Regions first, and then they divide it. Of course, Tubo himself doesn’t want to Tianzhu is not afraid of splitting up with others, and he is not very afraid of Dashi. At that time, even the two will be considered together.

So this time Zheng Qi led the team to carry the main Tubo army, Li Xian went to deal with the Tianzhu army, and Li Lun went to deal with the Tubo army on the Shanzhou road. Strictly speaking, Li Lun had the least pressure on the three-way army. It is naturally impossible for Lun to face the opponent's main force directly at a young age.

But if this is the case... Li Xian is too far away from Zheng Qi. Most of the Tianzhu troops are stationed in Doma. This place is a proper isosceles triangle when it is connected with Shanzhou and Ganzhou. He and these two people The distances are almost the same!

After Li Xian told Empress Wu about their plans, he took Li Lun away. After Li Lun came out, he asked, "Brother Seven, did you mean that to Auntie on purpose?"

Li Xian looked at him blankly: "What?"

Li Lun thought for a while and said, "Aniang didn't know the plan of the Ministry of War."

Li Xian said indifferently: "So what if I don't know? Our plan will be written to Dad later, and Mom has been helping Dad to review the memorials. Don't you know that it's not a matter of time? "

As soon as Li Lun thought about it, he didn't struggle any more.I have to say that Li Lun is still a little young. What Li Xian said sounds true, but when writing the book, many things will be blurred, and I will only write a summary. After all, it is impossible to write too much on the battlefield. It is clear, and this kind of letter is generally understood by those who understand it, and those who do not understand can only read it at a loss.

Under Zheng Qi's education for the past two years, Li Xian can barely understand it. He admits that Empress Wu has a higher IQ than him, but Empress Wu has never had access to these things, so naturally he doesn't know.Li Xian knew what Li Zhi meant, but he also had his own ideas - Empress Wu was going to be emperor in the future, and the army in her hands couldn't just be a weapon against rebels.

During the reign of Li Zhi, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest, but later it failed. This has to be said to be a problem of military management, otherwise the Anshi Rebellion would not have occurred, so Li Xian now deliberately provided some information to Empress Wu.

Li Lun didn't want to understand this section, so he didn't think too much about it. He is nervous and excited now. A boy of this age will inevitably feel a little excited when he hears that riding a horse to kill the enemy, but... Li Xian wants to remind him, but he feels that Li Lun Lun may not be able to listen to it, so he can only shut up. He thought about the lineups on both sides. He has twelve managers on his side. It's okay to say that after all, there is still a little pressure to single out Tianzhu, but Li Lun only has one Qibi He Li felt a little thin.

After thinking about it, Li Xian wrote a letter suggesting that Li Lun should add more people along the way. There is only one Marshal but no Marshal, and I feel a little uneasy.

Li Zhi didn't care. After thinking about it, he directly sent the General Zuo Xiaowei and the governor of Yanyan, Ashina Duzhi, but he didn't make the marching commander either.

After Li Xian found out, he didn't say much. He took his [-]th chief manager on the road directly. Li Lun walked with him, but they would part ways halfway. Li Xian could be regarded as a discovery along the way. Nima Well, he never knew that Li Lun was actually a chatterbox!

If Li Lun was a little excited at Empress Wu before, now Li Lun is very excited!And because Empress Wu had told Li Xian to take care of his younger brother, Li Xian called Li Lun to his car to watch every time, for fear that something wrong with Li Lun would be bad if he didn't find out.

In the end... Li Lun jumped up and down like a monkey, and all kinds of problems came up.

Li Xian had a headache when he asked him and said helplessly: "What's the matter with you? You're also the Marshal of the Marching Army. If you are so unsteady, the subordinates will treat you as a child even more."

Li Lun didn't care about it, instead he said confidently, "I'm like this in Brother Seven's car."

Li Xian laughed: "Be cautious of being alone! And...it's not like you haven't been out of Chang'an before, why are you so excited this time?"

Li Zhi and Empress Wu have to move several times a year, either to Jiucheng Palace or Hebi Palace or other summer palaces, or directly to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to live until the Chinese New Year or not even coming back for the Chinese New Year, so Li Lun is not that kind at all. What happened to the captive prince?

"That's different." Li Lun said with bright eyes, "Brother Seven, is there any fun in Shanzhou?"

Li Xian said decisively: "I haven't been there either, but it should be okay if it's near the Qilian Mountains?"

"What is the Qilian Mountains like?" Li Lun was like a hundred thousand whys.

Li Xian's face was full of enthusiasm when he was asked, and his geography was only so-so. The Qilian Mountains he knew were like those of later generations. One must know that anything can happen in the thousands of years, and the Qilian Mountains may also happen and be very big. Therefore, he has never dared to intervene in the war line by relying on himself to be more advanced.

After finally walking for a few days, Li Lun's excitement passed, and he became nervous again.

"Brother Seven, I heard that people in Tubo are very fierce. What if I..." Li Lun has never fought a war and even has few chances to talk about it on paper. What if he fails?

Li Xian looked at Li Lunxin and said that Dad asked you to come out because he wanted you to be gilded, otherwise how dare he let you come, isn't it because we have tiger crouching cannons?

Li Xian said calmly: "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers. No matter what tactics Tubo uses, you can kill dozens or even hundreds of them with one shot. How many of them can be so damaged? Surrender Naturally, it will happen sooner or later, don't worry, father knows it well, and maybe he will seal you up again after you go back."

After hearing this, Li Lun was really relieved. He looked at Li Xian and smiled shyly, "These are all thanks to the seventh brother. Even if the households are sealed, the seventh brother should have more."

After hearing this, Li Xian suddenly felt, probably...he also went to gilt, it should be because of the tiger crouching cannon, Li Zhi wanted to award him a reward, but he was afraid that the rewards would be too much and there would be opinions from below, so he simply let him go to war , when the time comes, there will be so many achievements in victory, and everyone will not be able to say anything.

In fact, Li Xian doesn't care about closing the household or anything. He prefers to stay at home and figure out how to sell soap, rather than going to the battlefield. After all... he is not very skilled in the business of killing people.

When it was time to say goodbye, Li Lun was obviously a bit reluctant. Although Li Xian was not very old, he was his elder brother after all, and he had taken care of him a lot along the way. Now that he was going on the road alone and going to kill the enemy, he was really worried. of.

Li Xian saw that he was a little soft-hearted, so he directly gave him one of the pigeons he brought out. These pigeons were trained by Zheng Qi. He originally wanted to pass credit back and forth between the two of them, but Li Xian didn't want to. I like to use it, how much can a carrier pigeon carry?Every time he and Zheng Qi talk about love, they have to talk for a page or two. Wouldn't it be exhausting for the pigeons?

But now it just came in handy. He gave it to Li Lun directly, and asked Li Lun to contact him with a carrier pigeon when it was inconvenient. He also told him to be cautious, and he sighed after watching Li Lun's team go away. tone.

He also knew that pressing Li Lun so hard and making him pretend to be like an adult really killed a child's nature, but in this day and age, Li Lun is no longer considered a child, and he can marry a wife in two years, he doesn't like that Can't hold back the people below.

Among other things, Qibi Heli and Ashina Duzhi definitely didn't want to listen to Li Lun. Now they just hope that Li Lun is really as smart as the history says, at least he can achieve balance.

As for himself, Li Xian is not worried. He is older than Li Lun, and as Li Zhi said, no matter how he fought those two battles, anyway, he has military achievements and has developed many killer weapons. Liu Shenli, Minister of the Ministry of War, who is the head of the second general manager, also has a good relationship with him, and he has dealt with others to some extent.

After traveling all the way to Doma's army, Li Xian called the twelve people into his tent.

He called people over for a meeting. Strictly speaking, among the twelve general managers, there are only a few who are really good fighters: Gao Kan, Li Jinxing, Xue Rengui, and Pei Xingjian. No matter which of these four people they are, they can do it directly. One of the main generals has come together to help him. It seems that Li Zhi is really worried about him.

As for Li Lun, it is probably because the danger is relatively small.

After Li Xian and the others arrived, they sat on their hands in silver armor and said directly: "The reason for inviting all the generals here in such a hurry today is to discuss something. This matter is important or not. The king has never been a gentleman, so today I will not let it go. This time I sent the king to attack Tianzhu because of the trust of the emperor. It is just that although the king is not young, he has no great talent in military affairs, so what will happen in the future I still have to rely on the generals, and hope that the generals will not hesitate to enlighten you."

While talking, Li Xian stood up and saluted the twelve general managers.He stood up, and the twelve general managers couldn't sit still. After they all stood up and returned the salute, Pei Xingjian, the oldest one, said, "His Royal Highness King Shou is very handsome, and it is a good thing that we can come to assist you."

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Oh, it's too awkward to say that, I'll just say it straight, I'm not good at fighting, even with the help of tigers and cannons, if I want to defeat Tianzhu, I'm afraid it will take careful planning. I’m not very good at marching and fighting, so I won’t tell you what to do, I’ll discuss it with you when the time comes, and wait for everyone to come to a unified opinion before implementing it.”

While talking, Li Xian secretly observed the faces of these twelve people. After he finished speaking, he saw that several of them looked better. He knew in his heart that these people must be afraid that he would take advantage of his status as the Marshal of the Marching Marshal to pretend to be understanding. How could Li Xian do this?But he won’t do it if he is directly pretended to be an invisible person, so he directly expresses his position—you have your own ideas to say, but you can’t think that you have enough experience to insist on going your own way. Open your mouth and let it go, if I don't open your mouth, even if you are talking about hype, don't even think about mobilizing troops.

Well, from Li Zhi's body, Li Xian can see that he may not be so good at marching and fighting, but the military power must be firmly in his own hands. As long as he can suppress the twelve marching chiefs, Even if he is really not good at it, it won't be a big problem. These people can't stumbling him for the sake of their own future, otherwise... Li Xian is a prince, and if he loses the battle, he will turn around and become an idle prince , others are not so lucky.

Li Xian didn't want to bully others and he didn't want others to bully himself, so he showed his attitude on the first day in Doma, but he did so because of trust. People are not bad enough to cheat their own people when fighting.

Everyone agreed with Li Xian's statement that Tianzhu soldiers are currently stationed in the west, separated from Doma by Ering Lake.

When discussing the route to the end of the march, Xue Rengui, who was fairly familiar with Li Xian, suddenly joked: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Shou used to pray for rain to flood the barbarian army when he defended Liuzhou. If Tianzhu was impatient this time, he might just cross the river directly Come, His Royal Highness Shouwang, do you want to pray for rain?"

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, all the people present laughed. Everyone knew about it, and to be honest, they were skeptical about it, so they believed it. They always felt that even if King Shou was really supernatural, it was too accurate, right?Could it be that the Dragon King was reincarnated?If you don't believe it, it is true that Li Xian can hold Liuzhou, not to mention him, even if Xue Rengui goes by himself, he can't guarantee that he can hold Liuzhou City under such circumstances.

Seeing everyone curiously looking at him, Li Xian couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Forget it this time, we have gunpowder with us, in case the Dragon Lord is happy, it rains a little more and our gunpowder gets wet." what to do?"

Everyone laughed after Li Xian finished speaking, and then continued the discussion. Li Xian was relieved to see that they didn't insist on asking him to pray for rain. He was really afraid that these generals insisted on asking him to pray for rain, and praying for rain didn't matter. Yes, but if it doesn't rain, what if it hurts morale?

Xue Rengui and the others were just making a joke. When these generals got together to discuss, they didn't have a particularly serious atmosphere. It's just that they didn't dare to reveal their true nature when Li Xian was here. Now they realize that His Royal Highness Very easy to get along with, couldn't help but cracked a joke.

In fact, no one took praying for rain seriously. Which general would place his hope on God in a war?Isn't that courting death?

After discussing a suitable marching route, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing will lead two teams around Ering Lake to outflank the next day, while Pei Xingjian will lead people across the lake to fight. Li Xian said jokingly after they finished discussing He said: "Everyone, don't be nervous, maybe it will rain and hail back there and make them mess up."

Li Jinxing said with a smile: "In this case, it is more likely that His Royal Highness Shou Wang will go down to pray for rain."

Li Xian snorted and ran away. Li Lun has been communicating with him through carrier pigeons for the past two days. He also wants to help his brother answer questions he doesn't know, but usually there are not many. Li Lun is also worried that he can't hold back his subordinates That's all, this Li Xian couldn't teach him, and he didn't do a good job himself.

It's just that after he sent out the letter, the way the generals looked at him changed.

Because the scouts came to report the next day, heavy rain poured down on the west bank of Eling Lake, and the lake surged, flooding the tents of the Tianzhu Army a lot.

Li Xian: ...

Twelve Chiefs: ...

When such a thing happened, the Twelve Chiefs were going to confess Li Xian, did they?This Nima is the victorious little dragon king, okay?Why do they have to worry about fighting with His Royal Highness Shou Wang?

Li Xian looked at them bitterly and said a hundred times: "I really don't know, I didn't go to pray for rain either."

As a result, no one believed it, and everyone felt... just casually say that, if you really went to pray for rain, why don't you just flood the Tianzhu army, we can return to the court without even moving a single soldier?Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt that Li Xian was miraculous, but they didn't dare to really ask him to pray for rain. Everyone came here to earn military merit, and only someone with a head can have military merit. His Royal Highness King Shou directly let the Tianzhu army be flooded If so, where will they beheaded?

So Li Xian was offered food and drink, but was jointly asked by the twelve general managers to stop talking about the topic of flooding the Tianzhu army, and begged His Royal Highness Shou Wang to give them a chance to show off.

Li Xian had no choice but to feel the joy of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away in the military camp, but... strategizing or something...has nothing to do with him.

It's just that he couldn't get depressed soon, because something happened to Li Lun!

Ashina Duzhi openly rebelled, calling himself Khan of the Ten Surnames, and united with Tubo to capture Shanzhou and captured Xiang Wang Li Lun!

Li Xian: md!I am going to save my brother!

Twelve Chiefs: Please calm down, Your Highness, I beg you not to flood Shanzhou!
