The Fangchizhou Governor's Office, which Li Chengqian was going to, originally worked in Huaian County, Qingzhou. During the Zhenguan period, there were five Governor's Office in Qingzhou, one of which was the Qingzhou Governor's Office, and the other four Governor's Office were the Fangchizhou Governor's Office, the Anding Prefecture Governor's Office, the Anhua Governor's Office and the Fuzhou Governor's Office.

These governors' offices are all in Qingzhou, that is, the resident states and clans under their actual office in Qingzhou are basically nomadic peoples who live without a fixed place.

A few days ago, Li Chengqian received an edict from Li Shimin to order him to control many governors' offices in the north. He immediately ordered the governor's office of Fangchizhou to be moved to Baiquan County near the settlement of Dangxiang Qiangye Li clan a hundred miles away. Yesterday, the governor of Fangchizhou Zheng He reported that the governor had been moved to the position.

In the morning of the same day, Li Chengqian ordered his departure, and the marching vanguard Xue Rengui took the lead in leading a thousand men to explore the way. Then Li Chengqian's carriage also set off with Su Dingfang's central army.

Two days passed, and thousands of troops walked along the way and the waves were calm, which made Li Chengqian doubt whether Wang Qun was suitable for collecting intelligence.

But at noon on the third day, the army had just stopped to rest, and Lu Hong, deputy general of the army vanguard Xue Rengui, brought Xue Rengui's message.

Li Chengqian was sitting under a big neem tree to enjoy the cool air.

Lu Hong, who was wearing armor and used to armor, walked to Li Chengqian and knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the Prince Prince, General Xu and General Xue were marching in front of him and encountered the Dangxiang Qiang Xifeng attacking the Yeli clan and retreated. General Xue ordered people to gather them together and sent General Xu to come back to ask His Royal Highness how to arrange it."

Li Chengqian first heard about the Dangxiang Qiang Xifeng clan.

Originally, Li Chengqian arranged for the Dangxiang Qiang people who were looted by the Turkic tribes nearby to ask Yeli to stand up for him, but now another Xifeng family popped up. How could he not use it?

"Why did this Dangxiang Qiang Xifeng clan attack the jungle Li clan?" Li Chengqian asked directly.

"Return to the Crown Prince, according to Xifeng Zhu Jue, the leader of Xifeng clan, said: Yeli has forcibly collected war horses, cattle and sheep from small tribes in the past two months. This last time, it is to collect all the remaining 500 war horses from Xifeng clan. If the Xifeng clan does not give it to the Yeli clan, seven days ago, sent troops to attack the people who went out to graz. All the cattle and sheep of Xifeng clan were taken away."

Li Chengqian hurriedly turned around and asked Xu Jingzong: "Has the imperial court issued an order to conquer Dangxiang Qiang in recent months to collect horses, cattle and sheep?"

Except for the imperial court, no one dared to collect war horses, cattle and sheep from the ethnic groups in the jail states on such a large scale.

It is rare for several pastoral prisoners around Yuanzhou to extort Lanshan tribe at the same time, because Asina Duxun of Lanshan tribe has celebrated festivals with these pastoral prisoners.

Xu Jingzong thought for a while and shook his head and said, "The Tang Dynasty has destroyed Gaochang in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan. It has not been a large army for two years. In the past two years, the restricted states have been imposed according to the usual rules."

Li Chengqian turned his head and asked Lu Hong again: "Did Zhu Jue once said why the Yeli family collected so many cattle, sheep and horses?"

Lu Hong hurriedly said, "God of the Crown Prince General Xue asked Xifeng Zhu Jue, but Xifeng Zhu Jue didn't know why Yeli suddenly collected horses, cattle and sheep. At first, Yeli told them that it was collected by the Tang Dynasty, but someone from Tianfeng went to Chang'an to sell horses and found out that the court had not issued an order this year, so he did not give it to them."

Li Chengqian stood up and walked two steps, looking up at the undulating peaks and gullies in the distance. In the noon sun, the fog was still rising, making people unable to see the straight scene.

He thought to himself: It seems that it is correct to attack Yeli this time. Then he thought of the governor's office of Fangchizhou that he was about to go to, so he said to Lu Hong: "Go back and tell you General Xue, and let Xifeng Zhu Jue take his tribe members to see Zheng He, the governor of Fangchizhou Governor's Office of Fangchizhou, and ask him to come forward to find Yeli to bring back all the confiscated war horses and cattle and sheep."

"I will obey the order!" Lu Hong said that, and was about to leave. Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't leave first, the Lone King will write you a letter with you."

In the letter, Li Chengqian told Xue Rengui that he would arrange for Zhu Jue to meet Zheng He in detail and not mention seeing Tang Jun. He wanted to test whether Zheng He was surnamed Jiang or Wang.

After Lu Hong left, the others returned to their respective camps or rested or handled military affairs. Li Chengqian asked Yuchi Gong, who had been staying with him, and said, "Duke E, knowing Zheng He?"

Yuchi Gong showed a look of remembrance on his face and said, "His Royal Highness Zheng He is a veteran general. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Duke Wei of Wei made great contributions when he was expeditioning Tuyuhun, and was named Duke of Gaoling County. He has been serving as the governor in Fangchizhou for eight years this year."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask, "Duke E has an old age with him?"

When Yuchi Gong heard this, he was stunned and said, "It's just a common friend. Last year, the old minister resigned from his post and practiced Taoism at home. He often remembered the wars that the Tang Dynasty fought over the years."

...

...

After the army camped at night, Li Chengqian walked slowly in the barracks with a cane and Xu Jingzong came to report.

"The Crown Prince Zheng He, the governor of Fangchizhou, will report to lead the civil and military officials from Baiquan County out of the city thirty miles to welcome the lords tomorrow morning."

Li Chengqian stopped and thought about it. Thirty miles away was almost a day's march for Li Chengqian's army. According to the normal journey, they would not be able to reach Baiquan County until tomorrow evening, so that they would not have time for Xifeng Zhu Jue to see Zheng He tomorrow.

"The will of the orphan king is to rest early today and get up at 3 o'clock tomorrow and set off at 5 o'clock. Be sure to arrive at Baiquan County before Shen time."

"I obey the order!"

...

...

On the second day, Li Chengqian's carriage was set off from a distance and saw a high-rise pavilion on the roadside, and a group of civil and military officials were standing by the roadside waiting for his carriage.

When Zheng He saw Li Chengqian's men coming, he hurriedly led a group of civil and military officials to greet him.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang and Cheng Wu were walking in front of the army, and they were very busy leaving the war horses on the side of the road. The soldiers behind them also stood on both sides of the road, protecting Li Chengqian's carriage and carriage and walked forward slowly.

Li Chengqian sat in the car and looked at the tall and thin old man in purple official uniform standing in front, knowing that this person was Zheng He.

Because in the Governor's Office of Fangchizhou, Zheng He was the only one who was a third-rank official.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian felt a little unhappy and thought that Zheng He looked down on him. He, a working third-rank military general, dared not wear or armor to greet him.

Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui with a calm face: "They bow to the ground later, and you shout a flat car and drive directly over."

After hearing this, Liu Kui looked at Zheng He and his group in the distance and sneered: "Abide by the order!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw Zheng He and his group, who were dozens of feet away, stopping to worship, kneeling on the side of the road without moving.

Li Chengqian was stunned. The officials of the Tang Dynasty didn’t have to kneel down when they saw the emperor!

Especially when I looked at Zheng He's big butt, which was as tall as a mountain, wrapped in purple official uniform, I felt very funny.

Li Chengqian looked at the group of people kneeling on the roadside, and his mind was turned on. Judging from Zheng He's butt, which was still as tall as a mountain, it didn't seem to be despising himself?

But he didn't believe it if Li Chengqian was killed. If Li Shimin came to inspect today, Zheng He would dare to welcome Li Shimin without wearing armor.

It seems that Zheng He is not simple either...
