Li Shimin was not alone in Xiangyang. He was surrounded by the three thousand Northern Ya Shen Ce Army. These three thousand Northern Ya Shen Cavalry cavalry were built based on the Xuanjia cavalry when Li Shimin galloped across the world, and selected elite cavalry from the border troops in various places.

Li Shimin is bold, but very careful.

Just as he took risks on the battlefield again and again before, it was all calculated.

"There are three thousand Shence Iron Cavalry, and I don't need to worry about safety on the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

Three thousand iron cavalry guards are only one day away from Xiangyang City. What can happen? If three thousand iron cavalry cannot keep their safety, then no one will be safe. Just like the Supreme Emperor lives in the deep palace and tens of thousands of troops in the capital, Li Shimin really took his life to take risks, and the high walls of the deep palace cannot protect the Supreme Emperor.

"I heard that Li Chao chose a very good temporary palace for me, and he also said that a palace city could be built in seven days. Li Chao is really bragging. He used to brag about it and said that Han Jing could be built in five years, but now he even said that a palace city could be built in seven days. Not to mention a palace city, even the simplest palace, I don't believe it can be built in seven days!"

Although he said this, Li Shimin was actually very curious. He did not completely believe that building a palace city in seven days. After all, the person who said this was Li Chao, and Li Chao had done too many unexpected things. Just like when he was trapped in Longxi City and was almost desperate, Li Chao would have taken a group of workshop apprentices and a group of logistics gangs who had never been trained and fought wars, lured thousands of Qiang cavalry into the city and killed them.

He also bluffed his flag and pretended to be the master legion of the Tang Dynasty, scaring away the Khan Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun.

Anyway, this is a guy who can always surprise Li Shimin from time to time.

Some time ago, he cut down five thousand earth barbarians in one breath and sent more than 50,000 barbarians to Longyou and Shuofang. Changsun Wuji heard that Li Chao was going to send tens of thousands of people over, so he was so happy that he wrote a memorial to him, saying that he wanted 30,000 people. Now, although Shuofang is affected by the drought, grain production has been reduced.

But the trade was still very popular. He took over the good situation left by Li Chao, and everything was smooth sailing.

Now Changsun Wuji is supporting some families such as the Li family to dig coal, mine and smelify in Shuofang, producing various iron products, and exchange them with the Turks, Tiel people, Western Regions and others for the flock of cattle, horses and sheep.

A large number of jerky, meat floss, milk powder, etc. were continuously imported into Guanzhong and the Central Plains, which was also very helpful to the Tang Dynasty, which was threatened by famine.

Changsun Wuji was eager to expand the transaction scale, but there were too few miners. Now he heard that there were 50,000 Tumans, so he wanted to steal all 50,000 people from Shuofang to mine.

Li Shimin didn't really care whether Li Chao could build a palace city in seven days, he just wanted to see Li Chao earlier.

The situation in the north changed again. The Tiel people and the Turks in the northern part of the Moon were fighting, Jie Li in the southern part of the Moon, Tuli in the eastern part of the Moon, Yu Shezhi in Henan were also fighting, and Ye Hu Khan of the Western Turkic regiment of the Western Regions also fought in the Jinshan Mountains, ready to take the opportunity to intervene in the Eastern Grassland.

Before Li Jing and Li Ji and the other Li were asked to the court, they took action first and then reported, and sent troops to destroy Yuan Junzhang from Daibei and took back several states such as Weizhou, Yunzhou, Shuozhou and other states.

The situation in the north is changing rapidly, and Li Shimin also knew that the strategic plan he had set could not keep up with the changes in the situation.

He was very eager to hear Li Chao's views on these changes in the situation and his way of dealing with it.

He also asked the prime ministers in the court what they thought, but their opinions were mostly not to interfere for the time being and watch the tiger fight. But Li Shimin was not very satisfied with this plan.

He felt that this was a rare opportunity now, so how could the Tang Dynasty watch from the side?

It’s good to see others fighting each other now, but once the result is achieved, will there be another strong enemy? How great is it if we can take this opportunity to intervene deeply, get along with the weak and get along with the strong, let the grassland continue to be in chaos, and even drive the Turks to cross Yinshan and take back all the Hetao?

Li Shimin felt that Fang Du and the others had just become left and right servants, and their behavior was still too conservative. However, Li Chao always had a more exciting grasp of the current situation and saw it more clearly.

Just as Li Chao judged that there would be a drought this autumn, and proposed many ways to prevent and relieve disasters. The disaster did happen and was very serious. However, under Li Chao's strategies, the disaster was well controlled. Until now, there were no refugees in the Central Plains, and no one starved to death.

Li Chao made an indelible contribution to all this.

"Although Li Chao is not in the center, his overall view is better."

Li Shimin said to several generals including Yuchi Gong and others around him.

"Your Majesty thinks Li Xiang will support the intervention of the Turkic rebellion? But wasn't Li Xiang's proposal to repair the Turkic first and recuperate for a few years?" Half a year ago, the emperor supported Li Chao and was preparing to send troops to the Turkic. But at the end, Li Chao himself stopped the offensive plan.

Yuchi Gong was very convinced by Li Chao, but he didn't accept others, and Li Chao had to convince him. But he felt that Li Chao was not the kind of warlike person.

Li Shimin did not answer, but he felt that Li Chao was the one who could best co-star with him, and Li Chao was the one who could best understand his ideas and support him the most. Moreover, Li Chao's understanding and support was not welcome, but a true hero's similar views.

Two hours later.

Xiangyang City is already in sight, not far from Xiangyang City. Li Chao led a thousand subordinates, as well as Prince Chengqian and Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning to welcome him twenty miles away.

Li Shimin came on horseback and rode his three thousand iron cavalry all the way from Shangzhou. Unlike Li Chao who likes comfort everywhere, Li Shimin is much stronger than Li Chao in this regard.

After confirming his identity, Li Chao took Chengqian and Li Xiuning to meet Li Shimin on a horse.

Li Shimin was surrounded by his four generals of the Northern Imperial Army, Yuchi Gong, the left Shence General, Zhang Gongjin, the right Shence General, Hou Junji, the right Yulin General, and Zhang Liang, the right Yulin General.

Li Chao's father was not far away from Li Shimin because he was appointed as General Right Yulin.

Li Shimin rode on the horse, looked at the three people riding over, and looked at the three people with the eyes of a veteran.

"Of the three, the third sister has the best riding skills, Li Chao's is also quite standard, and the prince's posture is also very good, which is surprising."

Then he smiled and said to the generals and officers around him, "Li Chao, Li Jing and Li Ji, the three gods of our Tang Dynasty military. Li Jing is in his fifties, a veteran on the battlefield, and is late to achieve great things. Li Ji, became famous in a hundred battles. Li Jing and Li Ji are all powerful generals who can lead thousands of troops and take the lead in charge. Only our military god, Li Chao, Prime Minister, is a general and prime minister, and is able to plan and command wars. Even I admire him, but this person's martial arts is very bad. He can't even defeat my third sister!"

Hou Junji laughed the loudest.

Yuchi Gong glanced at Hou Junji disdainfully and snorted coldly. Hou Junji's laughter stopped abruptly, a little embarrassed.
Chapter completed!
