Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 28 Preparation, Arrival

Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji with red eyes. This was the first time he disobeyed Li Yuanji's order. Xie Shufang knew very well what the current situation in Lingnan was. To put it nicely, Lingnan belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty had very little control over Lingnan.

To put it bluntly, as long as these people do not openly oppose the Tang Dynasty, nothing can be seen in Chang'an, and they don't want to see anything here.

Xie Shufang himself is very smart. When Li Yuanji came to Lingnan, he was very clear about the impact this would have on the people in Lingnan. At that time, there was a great possibility that their army would fight with these provocative people.

Once the fighting started, Li Yuanji's fighting skills would be a threat to all. Xie Shufang was also worried. In the past, even if Li Yuanji was defeated on other battlefields, he still had the Tang Dynasty to back him up. But now in Lingnan, if he was defeated again, he might even lose his life.

The reason why he went with them was because he was afraid that a real fight would break out. Li Yuanji would come to command the army, and Su Dingfang had just defected to Li Yuanji. In Xie Shufang's opinion, there was no way he could persuade Li Yuanji, and only if he went with them would there be a chance of success.

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang and didn't think in this direction at all. At this moment, his heart was deeply moved. Look at what a confidant is. This is a confidant. He is worried about his safety and wants to follow him just to protect him.

Only when Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang did he feel that his original self was not a complete waste. At least someone like Xie Shufang had always stayed by his side, and he had not let this person who kept him in good shape leave. This was the reason why he was able to benefit from it today.

Li Yuanji was deeply moved and looked at Xie Shufang eagerly.

"Okay, I'll listen to Shufang this time. Let's get ready now. When you're ready, go to Dingfang and send someone to tell him. Oh, and tell Junmai too. Be careful when you're near Lingnan, especially after you enter Lingnan.

At the same time, arrange for Yuwen Hu to be in the central army and pay attention to the front and back support. Although our entire army is wearing armor and is not afraid, we should try to reduce casualties as much as possible. After entering Lingnan, it will not be easy to replenish troops.

As for the paperwork, we will send it as usual. Our whereabouts will still be discovered after we enter Lingnan. The march of so many people is not so easy to conceal.

If someone wants to cause trouble, it would be good to deal with them as soon as possible. And if they come to Guizhou to greet us, at least they will not be our enemies, no matter what else.

This document is used temporarily to distinguish between friends and enemies. Those who come may not necessarily be friends, but those who do not come are definitely not friends, at least not in the short term.

If someone really can't come, just replying is also a signal. Although this method won't identify everyone, I believe it should be able to help us identify a small number of people."

Li Yuanji thought very clearly that this method was useless for anyone with a little bit of brains. However, not everyone in these places had brains. Some people were used to being rampant and would definitely ignore him if they didn't take him seriously.

People like this are the ones he will focus on taking care of after he gets his footing.

As for those extreme ones, if they really want to do something to him, just come. He has gone through great pains to prepare complete weapons, and they are well-trained and tested on many battlefields. He also has strong men like Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang leading the team. What is he afraid of?
As for leading the team himself, Li Yuanji had never thought about it at all. He was in the middle anyway, and left the matters on the battlefield to the two of them. He didn't believe that he could not defeat the indigenous army that had few armors and other weapons and was insufficiently trained.

Xie Shufang was shocked when he heard Li Yuanji's words. This was testing people's hearts with letters. When he thought about it carefully, it was just like what Li Yuanji said. There was nothing to lose by giving it a try.

For a moment, Xie Shufang began to admire his king. Why didn’t he realize that he was such a king before?
Then he said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted and wise. I will go and prepare now." Xie Shufang went down excitedly. Li Yuanji suddenly laughed foolishly. This was the first time he was praised, right? Especially by someone as capable as Xie Shufang. You know, the original body had never been praised by such a capable person.

This damn sense of satisfaction made Li Yuanji so happy that his heart was blossoming for a moment. If you praise someone who has no ability, it is called flattery, but if you praise someone who has ability, it is called bootlicking.

Li Yuanji immediately came to the convoy. His family, Yang Qingwan and others were in the convoy.

Arriving at Yang Qingwan's carriage, the two maids blushed and tactfully withdrew. Looking at the two delicate maids, their shy appearance, Li Yuanji was a little confused for a moment. He just came and did nothing, nor did he say anything? Why is it like this?

Then Li Yuanji was too lazy to pay attention and looked at Yang Qingwan who was smiling.

"Madam, I have something to tell you. I will be leaving for the front army soon. Please take care of yourself and don't catch a cold. I will leave the matters here to you.

During this period of time, you have also dealt with many things. I believe you can handle it well. Here is my token, take it. I will leave 7,000 troops here and let Yuwen Hu lead them.

If an emergency occurs and Yuwen Hu disobeys you, you can use this token to mobilize the army at any time. At the same time, send someone to contact me and Xi Junmai. You must fully trust Xi Junmai.

I won’t say anything else. After arriving in Lingnan, I will continue to come to the Central Army. Now I have to rush to Lingnan first because I have some things to deal with.”

Li Yuanji instructed Yang Qingwan for a long time, and Yang Qingwan listened carefully. Although Yang Qingwan's heart was full of worry and reluctance, she knew that she could not hinder Li Yuanji in important matters, and she could not let Li Yuanji worry about her again.

"Husband, don't worry, I will be careful. You can go with peace of mind. Nothing will happen here. You should also pay attention to your safety."

Yang Qingwan actually had more to say, but in order not to distract Li Yuanji, she had to hold it in.

Li Yuanji was very happy to see that his wife was so virtuous, understanding, and had a sense of the overall situation. What he was afraid of was that Yang Qingwan would pester him and not let him go.

The two chatted for a while, then hugged each other deeply for a moment. Li Yuanji gave her a kiss, then got off the carriage and came to the front of the camp.

Seeing that Xie Shufang was ready, he immediately went to Su Dingfang.

When he arrived at the front army, the next morning, Li Yuanji left all the craftsmen behind and asked the central army to pick them up. He took Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang with him and headed towards Guizhou in Lingnan at full speed.

Without any burden, the army marched much faster. After 28 consecutive days and nights, they passed Wuzhou and arrived in Guizhou, Lingnan.
