No one knew how Li Xiang comforted himself that night, but when everyone saw Li Xiang going to war the next day, the eldest lady was still standing at the door of the Tiance General's Mansion with the same elegance.
Several ladies were ready to watch a joke. Everyone knew what happened last night. If Cheng Luan really didn't know how to advance or retreat, then these people would probably really be in for a joke. Unfortunately, they were going to be disappointed. He had resolved the family conflicts very well and suppressed all the conflicts before going to the expedition.
Miss Huaihua also came out disguised as a man and followed Li Xiang to the army. Although she was serving Li Xiang, she was not allowed to wear women's clothes. There were still rules in the army. No woman could go into the army. Now this was also a kind of respect for the rules. Even Li Xiang could not trample on military regulations at will.
The people in the palace had already chosen an auspicious time, and this was not the first time Li Xiang had gone to war, so not many people came to see him off. Li Xiang did not inform them of the time of departure. If he had informed them, perhaps a group of people would have come with their own sons and nephews. The army was already full, and if more people were to be stuffed in, the team would be too bloated, and something might happen before they even reached the battlefield. So Li Xiang had to set off early while the people in the capital did not know.
"Have those two guys from the South Camp been notified?"
Although Li Xiang brought more than 20 children from aristocratic families this time, the others were going to the battlefield to gain merit and were not within Li Xiang's consideration. Only Du Aitong and Wei Shuyu were valued by Li Xiang, and he let these two people gain experience in the military camp for a while.
"In reply to Your Highness, both of them have already obtained war horses and are now waiting outside the South City."
Long San had already sent people to deliver the message to them. Although these two people had not been in the army for a long time, they were familiar with what the current Tang army was like. They really wanted to go to the battlefield to see how a new type of war was fought.
In the past, they knew that the Tang army was invincible, but they didn't know how the army fought. They thought that it adopted the old way, relying on the bravery of the soldiers and the charge of the cavalry to win. Now they know that it is far from the case. Our way of fighting is no longer the same as before, and we have been using these new things for a long time.
"Set out..."
Li Xiang waved his whip behind him and immediately rode out on his horse. The officials behind him hurried to catch up. Several ladies of General Tian Ce's Mansion had already started crying. They didn't know when they would meet again. Fortunately, the children were still young and didn't understand this matter at all.
About ten miles out of Chang'an City, Li Xiang saw that the two guys were ready, but Li Xiang did not greet them. The two men were people of no rank in the army at the moment, so they could only follow the team and be with the soldiers.
This can be regarded as a test of the two of them by Li Xiang. If you two can persist to the south like this, it means that you have good willpower and you should do what you should do. But if you can't stand it in the middle, then just go back to the capital along the way you came. As for what kind of person you will become, that is your business.
No matter how much your fathers have contributed to the Tang Empire, as long as you can't endure this hardship, it means that we are not on the same path. How much you can achieve in the future depends on you. Not only these two guys, but also the more than 20 children from aristocratic families are now all dressed as soldiers, and they are very heavy.
"How is His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Li Xiang knew that his uncle could no longer bear it and had wanted to return to Chang'an a few days ago. When he was in his fiefdom, he always wanted to make achievements on the battlefield. However, when he really arrived on the battlefield, he found that he was not cut out for it. Not to mention making achievements, even surviving was an extremely difficult thing. So he kept sending memorials to the capital, hoping that Li Xiang could set off earlier so that he could return to the capital earlier.
"The southern climate is unbearable, and many soldiers in our army can't stand it either. But they can all be overcome through other means. However, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has no such thoughts and still follows his old routine. As a result, he has contracted an illness. However, Taiyi has already checked and found that he can recover by moving to a dry and cool place."
Long San is now the chief intelligence officer of Li Xiang. All matters will be reported to him, so he knows everything about His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. At the same time, he also looks down on the Ninth Prince. At that time, I cried and shouted that I wanted to go to Qian County. Now he didn’t set a good example for the soldiers and only thought about running back. I really don’t know what he was thinking.
"I don't want to meet him either. Send a pigeon to Chang Sunze and tell them to hurry and send His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin back. Don't let anything go wrong. Be sure to send a heavy escort."
Li Xiang really didn't know what to say about His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but he still had to pay attention to his safety. If someone took advantage of the opportunity and the prince of the Tang Empire was killed, many people would be implicated.
Li Xiang didn't care about this guy's head. What he cared about was his subordinates. If his head fell off, then people from Huo Qubing to Changsun Ze would probably have a hard time. Including the soldiers fighting in Vietnam, they might all become objects of suspicion, which would greatly affect morale.
Long San also understood why Li Xiang gave this instruction. Vietnam can no longer hold on. Apart from their army in the jungle, no one outside can be our opponent. Now they are squeezed into a very small piece of land in the south. They are likely to take risks and send people to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.
In our military camp, there is no need to worry. No matter what disease this guy has, he can save his life. But if he leaves the military camp, some things may be hard to say. That place is Vietnamese territory, and many people are still loyal to their court. If someone has evil intentions, his life may not be saved, and we may also be affected...
