Chapter 414

The military plane must not be missed. Li Ke was ordered to patrol the border. The officials who went north did not go to Taiyuan first, but went straight to Yunzhou.

The original name of Yunzhou is Yunzhong County. It is located near the Great Wall and is located in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Yunzhou is next to Dingxiang, and Yunzhong City and Dingxiang City, the government office, are also separated by the Great Wall, with a distance of only a hundred miles.

Li Ke rode his horse northward for several days, not daring to rest all the way, and rushed from Chang'an to Yunzhou. It took more than four days, when Li Ke and his party arrived outside Yunzhong City, it was evening.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river."

It has been four years since Li Ke returned to Beijing from Mobei in the fourth year of Zhenguan and passed through Yunzhong City. Li Ke revisited his old place.Li Ke rode his horse on the official road in Yunzhou, looking at the sky like a bloody sun, and the ancient city standing in the clouds under the afterglow of the setting sun, he couldn't help sighing softly.

"Your Highness revisited the old place, but do you feel something in your heart?" Beside Li Ke, Wang Xuance asked Li Ke after hearing Li Ke's exclamation.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Mr. knows me. Since the fourth year of Zhenguan, after my king returned to Beijing, I have spent four years in Chang'an and Yangzhou. Although I am happy, it is also boring. Once upon a time, this king could only be in Going back to the northern border in a dream, the horse is stunned, never thought that today, this king's dream has come true again."

Wang Xuance also laughed and said: "Your Highness's wish is to have peace in the world, and now it is the first time in four years to go north again, which can be regarded as fulfilled."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Fame can only be obtained immediately. My generation of military officials should have invited Ying Ying to fight in the north. How can it be a long-term plan to lie in Chang'an for a long time?"

As Li Ke was speaking, he seemed to think of something again, so he called Chang Sun Chong's name behind him, and asked, "Zijing (the name of Chang Sun Chong), what do you think?"

Chang Sun Chong was a military officer for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Bingzhou. He was in charge of the phone and needed documents. .

When Chang Sun Chong heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he stepped forward and replied: "What Your Highness said is very true."

Li Ke looked at Changsun Chong who seemed to be slow to react. It was obvious that he was absent-minded just now, or he had other thoughts in his mind, so he asked: "Zijing seems to be a little depressed, but when he first arrived in the Northland, he was not acclimatized. adapt?"

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm in good health, and I don't feel any discomfort."

Li Ke asked: "Why is Zi Jing just a little restless, but what's on his mind?"

Changsun Chong replied truthfully: "The short poems sung by His Royal Highness just now are magnificent and scattered, and they are hard to find for a while. God, I hope His Highness will not blame you."

"Ha ha."

Li Ke laughed when he heard Chang Sun Chong's words, and Li Ke asked, "Is Zijing good at this?"

The eldest grandson rushed back and said: "I often think about things by myself in the mansion, and occasionally I get something, but most of them are superficial, and I can't compare with your highness. Just now, your highness said a short sentence, and my highness can't make up. Your highness is better than your highness." .”

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "When is this, Zijing is too modest."

Chang Sun Chong said truthfully: "I'm not being too modest, but telling the truth. I don't have the heart like Your Highness. Even if I give you ten years, I can't write a simple and magnificent short poem like 'the desert is solitary, the long river falls into the sun'. , I hope His Highness will enlighten you."

Li Ke looked at Chang Sun Chong's serious appearance, but a little smile slowly appeared on his face.

Although Changsun Chong and his younger brother, Changsun Huan, are direct brothers of the same mother and compatriot, Changsun Chong's temperament is completely different from Changsun Huan. The style of celebrities.If it weren't for his father being the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ke really meant to have a deep friendship with him.

Li Ke said: "This poem does have unfinished meanings, but it is still too early to say, and it is inevitable to be suspected of arrogance. Let's complete it after the completion of the poem."

"That's fine, the minister will ask His Highness for advice when the time comes." Changsun Chong cupped his hands and complied.

Although Li Ke and Changsun Chong's father, Changsun Wuji, had political disagreements, they were still young and of the same age. Now that they had already started, they would naturally be able to talk.Moreover, Chang Sun Chong spoke well and had something to say, and he obviously put a lot of effort into the military affairs of Bingzhou. The two chatted as they walked, and they arrived at the city of Yunzhong not long after.

When Li Ke and his party arrived outside the city, the generals stationed in the city had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.

Shi Liji, the governor of Bingzhou Metropolitan Government, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Xiangzhou, Su Dingfang, the governor of Shuozhou, and Qiao Shiwang, the governor of Yunzhou, who inspected the school, stood at the front. .

"The last general pays homage to the governor!" Li Kefang went to the foot of the city, and all the people bowed down and bowed in unison.

Li Ke got off his horse quickly, walked up to Li Ji standing in the middle, raised his hand to help him up, and said: "All generals, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Everyone thanked and stood up.

This time out of the city to meet Li Ke's people, the only ones who can really talk to Li Ke are the long history Li Ji and the three governors, and the others are just accompaniments, and among the four leading people, Su Dingfang, the governor of Shuozhou, is Li Ke's former subordinate. , used to be Li Ke's personal guard, and accompanied Mobei, so he was naturally closest to Li Ke.

But because Su Dingfang is Li Ke's confidant, Su Dingfang never rushed forward to speak, but Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Xiangzhou who had some friendship with Li Ke in the early years, was the first to speak: "After eight years, I don't want to talk to the governor again today." Seeing you in Yunzhou, the governor is even more heroic than before."

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin had been the deputy general of Li Jing and participated in the Turkic War. At that time, Zhang Gongjin and Li Ke had known each other, and they had some friendship.Moreover, in the battle of Dingxiang City at the beginning, Jieli threatened Li Ke with death and ordered Li Ke to persuade him to surrender. Li Ke, who was only twelve years old at the time, put the righteousness first and said the sentence "Only Li Ke died in the Tang Dynasty, and no one surrendered." Prince", Zhang Gongjin respected Li Ke very much, until today.

Li Ke replied with a smile: "Zhang Dudu still has the same demeanor, even better than before. In the four years of the Turkic War in Zhenguan, Zhang Dudu's voice and appearance in the past seem to be still in front of his eyes."

Zhang Gongjin also smiled and said: "At that time, His Highness was still a young man, who would have thought that after only four years, the last general would be under the command of the Governor."

"Where, where."

Li Ke made a humility first, then cupped his hands, and said to the four people in front of him: "Although this king is from the army, it is the first time to lead an army in Border Province. If there is something wrong, I hope you can give me some pointers."

When the four of them heard the words, they all clasped their hands together and said: "I will be the assistant prime minister and the governor, and we will decide on the northern affairs together."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Shiwang, the governor of Yunzhou, who is considered to be the host, raised his hand and said to Li Ke: "It's getting late, and it's cold outside the city. Please come to the city to speak."

"Alright." Li Ke responded, and immediately entered Cloud City.

When Li Ke entered the city, all the commanders who had been waiting outside the city also dispersed, leaving only Li Ji and four others behind Li Ke.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Ke was most concerned about the war. While walking, Li Ke asked Li Ji, "Director Li, what's the situation in Dingxiang City right now? Where is Dadu now?"

Li Ji replied: "The siege of Dingxiang City has been lifted, but there is one matter that will not make up its mind at the end, and the governor still needs to make a decision."
