The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 251
"There is no time to go home. Bring some money and everything will be provided along the way. The 20 of you will set off with me."

At the gate of the palace, Li Xiang had already made his explanation.

Changsun Chong led forty fine war horses from the emperor's horse garden, and each man advanced with two horses.

"The last will obey."

From Long [-] to Long [-], they are the people who followed Li Xiang to the grassland this time. These people have experienced long-distance training before, but they are a little worried that Li Xiang’s body cannot bear it. After all, they have spent time on horseback. For several days, if Li Xiang just went ahead like this, he might not be able to hold on on the road. I wanted to prepare a carriage for Li Xiang, but it was useless to rush the carriage in such a hurry.

Li Xiang didn't give them a chance to speak, and the group rushed towards the south gate of Chang'an City.

"Auxiliary machine, have all the stops along the way been arranged?"

Standing on the wall of the imperial city, Li Shimin saw Li Xiang's cavalry rushing into the distance. He felt that the blood in his body was boiling. If he had been 20 years younger, he might have made the same choice as his grandson. He had not experienced the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife for a long time.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the flying pigeon messages have been sent out. He should be able to run ahead of them and deliver the message to dozens of people in total without wasting time. As long as he can arrive at the grassland within the set time, I can Let him see Prime Minister Midu."

Li Shimin has always been very confident about Changsun Wuji's arrangements. Whether in our country or in the enemy's country, Changsun Wuji has his own eyes. This time he went to the southwest battlefield. On the one hand, he read out the emperor's imperial decree, and on the other hand, he went to the southwest battlefield. On the one hand, he arranged his own spy in Tuyuhun. It may not have been useful before. The ministers in the court thought that he spent too much money, but now it finally comes in handy.

"He has dealt with that Mi, and we should have something to talk about. What do you think the chances of winning are?"

Li Shimin was unsure. Li Xiang's idea was too shocking, and it seemed that it was improvised on the spot. Although Lu Dongzan had nothing to say, it also left too many loopholes for himself. Now Li Xiang is going to plug the loopholes.

"Tuyuhun has just been defeated, and the Tubo army should have been detected on the southern border. If your Majesty guessed correctly, there is also a panic in Tuyuhun. Your Highness has always been good at handling such situations. If possible, I think Your Highness should be able to handle it properly. solution."

After this period of understanding, Changsun Wuji also knew that Li Xiang would not leave the corpse without a place. Although this task is a bit difficult, it should still be completed. The most important thing is two aspects. Can the Khan of Tuyuhun bow his head? The other one is whether I can come back in such a short period of time.

"Instruct the defenders of Liangzhou City to obey the orders of Prince Taiping."

Although he was ordered at a critical moment, Li Xiang created a precedent, that is, all the border troops obeyed one prince. This was impossible before. In the past, although there were members of the royal family accompanying the army on expeditions, most of them were deputy generals and the like. Yes, no one has ever been a general. This is equivalent to Li Xiang controlling tens of thousands of troops on the border of Liangzhou.

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything. If it were other princes and grandsons, Changsun Wuji would have to say a few words. But now he has got into Li Xiang's car. This opportunity is extremely rare, even if the emperor is testing himself. , Changsun Wuji is also ready to pretend to be dumb.

Li Xiang held Li Shimin's gold medal and galloped along the way. Even after passing through some heavily defended passes, after seeing the emperor's gold medal, these people immediately let him go. Although they didn't know Li Xiang's identity, they could tell. This is a group of strong men, plus they are riding royal horses and holding gold medals. They should be performing a special mission from the emperor. Who will stop these people?
According to the Ministry of War's highest record, it should be eight hundred miles a day. Thirteen hours later, Li Xiang had already broken this record. Firstly, it was because of their strong physical fitness, and secondly, because of their horses. The best, the best war horse in the world is with the emperor. If anyone else hides such a war horse, except for the emperor who gave it to you, it will be a serious crime for anyone else.For three whole days, they only rested for two hours a day. The rest of the time was spent on the horse. They ate on the horse and drank water on the horse. This can be regarded as the fastest record in the Tang Dynasty. .

"Boss, get the buns."

On the fourth day, Li Xiang and the others passed by a bun shop on the roadside and threw out a piece of ingot. Before the boss could see clearly what was going on, dozens of cavalrymen galloped past their stall, but the bun next to them was Several cages are missing.

"Thank you, sir. Come back tomorrow."

The boss looked at the ingot in his hand happily. It weighed five taels. Not to mention these steamed buns, he could buy half of the store.

It's a pity that this kind of thing only happens once, and it's impossible to meet these people again...

On the road Li Xiang traveled, many bosses were like the bosses of steamed bun shops. They didn’t even know who their customers were. They just borrowed money and had fewer goods. If it weren’t for the money in their hands, Really, they all thought they had encountered a ghost.

"Be careful……"

Li Xiang heard Long San shouting next to him, and then he realized that the war horse under his crotch could no longer hold on. Thanks to Long San's reminder, Li Xiang immediately jumped up from the horse, and the war horse fell directly from the front. , if he had not jumped up, he might have fallen down like the war horse, then the injury would definitely not be minor.

"You can't run like this anymore, Your Highness, all the horses can hardly hold on any longer."

Long Er is a master of horse breeding. He has looked at all the horses and found that they have basically reached their limit. If he continues to run, similar things will happen. This time, Li Xiang has better luck. If If you continue to do this, you may not have such good luck next time.

"There is no town nearby, so everyone should be careful. Let's go to the bigger town ahead and change the horses."

Li Xiang also nodded. Although this is the emperor's royal horse and it is considered the best in the world, after these days of non-stop driving, dozens of horses can no longer hold up and they have to be given time to rest. Just fine.

Fortunately, there was a small town ten miles ahead, and Long Si almost fell off his horse. There was a big escort agency these days, and they also operated horse replacements for merchants coming and going...
