Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

"Give way to them!" Li Ke said, ignoring everyone, and quickly crossed the frame of the Houfu, disappearing from everyone's sight.At this time, the eldest grandson Bingning's heart was by Li Ke's side, how could she stay behind, and followed closely behind Li Ke.Li Ke and Changsun Bingning galloped quickly, and they passed the city of Chang'an in a short while.

"Bing Ning, follow me back to the mansion!" Li Ke said sincerely.

"Your Highness, Bing Ning really wants to go back with you, but I can't now, Bing Ning doesn't want to cause trouble for Your Highness." Why doesn't Changsun Bing Ning know Li Ke's mood at this time? She already knew about him and Hou Ruoyi, but It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how many women around him can explain the problem?Therefore, Changsun Bingning thought that as long as Li Ke really liked her, she would be jealous, but she could tolerate it.

"This king is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Li Ke's face suddenly became gloomy, with a murderous look on his brows, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't believe that he can do anything to this king?"

"Your Highness" eldest grandson Bingning knew who Li Ke was referring to, and she wanted to say something else, but when she saw Li Ke's expression, she kept silent.

Li Ke ignored her, and the guard in black chased after the two of them were silent at the gate of the city.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Wang Zhongchang asked cautiously when he saw that the atmosphere between Li Ke and Changsun Bingning was not right.

"Go back to the mansion" Li Ke said coldly, and then he glanced at the eldest grandson Bingning beside him, "I'll wait for you at the Han Palace!"

More than 50 riders entered the Mingde Gate in the blink of an eye, leaving the eldest grandson Bingning standing alone at the gate.She looked at the direction where Li Ke was going away, and the person had disappeared, leaving only the dust on the ground.She understood his mood, but she needed time.She was like a statue, motionless, and people passing by were curious to see why the girl on the horse didn't move forward.

When Li Ke returned to the Han Palace, he saw several fine horses at the door, one of which was the horse he had given to Su Dingfang.Li Ke knew that Su Dingfang had returned from Mobei. When he came to Juyi Hall, he saw Su Dingfang talking with Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong. Seeing Li Ke, he hurried forward to salute Li Ke.

"Dingfang, there is no need for a gift." Li Ke supported Su Dingfang and said, "Zhengzheng told me all your plans in Mobei along the way, and tell me how many Turkic cavalry you annihilated." After Li Ke returned to Lingzhou, Liu Rengui told Li Ke about the parting between himself and Su Dingfang in Suzhou. After listening to Liu Rengui's report, Li Ke understood Su Dingfang's intentions.Therefore, he has been waiting for news from Su Dingfang. He wants to know the strength of the new army, wolf guards and Turkic cavalry in Su Dingfang's hands. He wonders whether Su Dingfang has turned the wolf guards into real wolf cavalry in Mobei.

Seeing Li Ke's impatient look, Su Dingfang understood what he really wanted to know, so he told him in detail about his affairs in Mobei.Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong present here have just heard Su Dingfang briefly talk about it, and now they are still terrified when they hear Su Dingfang report to Li Ke for the second time, especially when Su Dingfang said that they defeated Jieli Khan’s thousand relatives Wei Shi couldn't help but exclaimed.

Li Ke was also very surprised. He didn't know why Jieli Khan's personal guards were involved in the task of intercepting and killing him. Could it be that the one who intercepted him was the king of Jieli Khan? .So, he couldn't wait to ask, "Xeli's personal guard? Are you sure it's Jieli Khan's personal guard? Did you really defeat that cavalry?"

The personal guards of Jieli Khan are very rare in Turkic, just like the "Hundred Riders" beside Li Shimin, they are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, and they are all Turkic warriors selected from thousands of miles. The most important thing is that they are absolutely loyal to Jieli Khan. Lee Khan.Therefore, being able to become the personal soldier of Jieli Khan in Turkic is definitely the most enviable thing for all cavalry.Because this not only shows the special status of this cavalry, but also reflects their own strong strength in Turkic.All ethnic groups in the grasslands know that it is not scary to meet wolves in the Mobei grassland, but it is terrible to meet Jieli Khan's personal guards.Because they are tougher and more ferocious than wolves.

"Your Highness, the general is sure that they are the personal guards of Jieli Khan." Su Dingfang said in a serious tone, "After leaving Suzhou, the general met a Turkic cavalry of 2000 men who wanted to surprise us. Their combat effectiveness is very strong. , but they were completely annihilated by our 6000 men. The cavalry we met the second time had only 1000 men, but their combat power was terrifying, and they could cost me 2000 men in a five-to-one battle I can still retreat completely. The last general has fought against the Turkic cavalry, and his fighting power is very clear, but the only Turkic cavalry that can make the late general lose 1000 cavalry and kill [-] people are only Xieli's personal guards."

"If according to what Dingfang said just now, the 1000-man cavalry you encountered were Jieli's personal guards, then what is the purpose of sending his own personal guards?" Li Ke asked doubtfully, "Xieli wants to kill me It's very easy, you don't have to send your own personal guards. Schroeder will definitely not be able to command this cavalry, and he would not dare to command Xieli's personal guards. If this cavalry is not coming for me, then you two Could it be a coincidence that the cavalry met in the grassland? Jieli's personal guards will not leave his side easily."

"Your Highness, is there such a possibility that Xie Li found out about Schroeder's interception of you, and then he knew that this matter would definitely lead to war between the two countries, so he sent his own guards to kill you?" You intercepted and killed them on the way back to the Tang Dynasty, and then blamed the tribe that was killed." Ma Zhou analyzed, "So, in order to conceal people's eyes and ears and prevent the spies of the Tang Dynasty from finding out, he didn't send cavalry to intercept and kill them on a large scale. He dispatched the most elite personal guards around him."

"Well, King Bin's analysis is very reasonable." Li Ke nodded and pondered, "For the time being, until we find other clues, we can only explain the reason why Xieli's personal guards appeared on the way to kill the king in this way."

"Xie Li's move is also testing Datang's reality. He sent his personal guards to intercept and kill His Highness just to see Datang's reaction to this matter. If the personal guards are intercepted by Datang's cavalry, then they will decisively withdraw their troops. ...." Xu Jingzong supplemented Ma Zhou's analysis, but he didn't say what he said later. Li Ke knew what he meant. Has been buried in Mobei.

"Since Xieli wants to test the reality of the Tang Dynasty, how is the matter of redeeming the people of Suzhou resolved?" Li Ke fell ill after returning to Lingzhou, and just happened to be Hou Ruoyi's marriage to the prince after returning to Chang'an things.Therefore, he didn't have time to take care of the affairs of the people in Suzhou. When Su Dingfang returned to Beijing today, he happened to discuss the Turkic issue, so he remembered it.

"The news just came from Yunzhou in the morning that Deputy Envoy Di and the others are already on their way back to Tang, and everything went well during the exchange, and Turkic did not make things difficult for them." Liu Rengui handed a secret security to Li Ke, Li Ke glanced at the secret security in his hand, and handed it to Liu Rengui, "It's good that the people of Suzhou can redeem it before the year. Is there any news about Hou Hu and Meng San?"

Li Ke brought Bianhouhu and Meng San with him when he was on a diplomatic mission to Turkic. The purpose was to set up a stronghold in Turkic and arrange black guards' intelligence personnel in Turkic.Therefore, the secret security in his hand was passed back by the guard in black after investigating Di Zhixun and his party's itinerary along the way.

"No, they haven't heard anything since they returned to Mobei from the Jinzhou Posthouse." Liu Rengui said in a heavy voice.

"Has Ding Fang met with your father after he came back? What is your father's attitude towards your trip to Mobei after hearing your report?" Li Ke didn't want to entangle Hou Hu and Meng Shan, so he asked The worry in his heart is that Su Dingfang's troops left Mobei and lost 2000 cavalry of the new army in the battle with the Turks. This is a new army that Datang spent a lot of effort and money to cultivate. He was afraid that Li Shimin would be angry about this and punish Su Dingfang for this matter.

However, Li Ke was concerned about chaos. Su Dingfang wiped out 600 Turkic people who attacked him with 2000 people, and then lost 2000 people when he met Jieli's personal guards. The defeat of Li Qinwei was enough to discover Su Dingfang's leadership and commanding skills.Li Shimin is also a veteran in the battlefield, how can he not understand the truth of this.Therefore, Li Ke's concern is superfluous, and Li Shimin will definitely not blame Su Dingfang for this.He will never blame, but will reuse Su Dingfang because of it.

Sure enough, Su Dingfang said in a humble tone, "Don't worry, Your Highness, not only did the emperor not blame the last general, but he was happy that the last general was able to defeat Jieli's personal guards." I understood Li Shimin's joy after listening to Su Dingfang's report.

"Did Emperor Father tell you about going to Bingzhou with me in the next year?" Li Ke asked.

"The emperor didn't mention this matter." Su Dingfang said in surprise, "Your Highness is going to Bingzhou next year?"

"Yeah." Li Ke sighed and stopped talking.Su Dingfang was quite puzzled by Li Ke's actions. He was about to ask Li Ke why he was sighing when he saw Ma Zhou winking at him.

Li Ke could see Su Dingfang's actions, he knew that Su Dingfang was worried about him, but he couldn't explain this matter to Su Dingfang, when he saw Su Dingfang with a tired face, he asked with concern, "Why did Dingfang go to Chang'an? "Because he was eager to know about the Turkic affairs just now, he ignored the matter of when Su Dingfang returned to Chang'an.

"Returning to Your Highness, the general will have an audience with the emperor as soon as he arrives in Chang'an, and then he will come to the mansion just to report to His Highness the situation of the general in Mobei." Su Dingfang said.

"In this case, you go to rest. Now that the matter is settled, you can rest in the mansion for a few days." Li Ke said with concern.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Dingfang bowed his hands slightly moved, and exited the Juyi Hall.

Li Ke glanced at Su Dingfang who disappeared in Juyi Hall, and said to Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui, "Dingfang is too tired, so let him rest for a few more days. I have something to ask you.
