Military opportunities must not be missed. Li Ke was ordered to patrol the border. The officials who went north did not go to Taiyuan first, but went straight to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou was originally named Yunzhong County, and was located in the Great Wall. It was located in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. During the Wude period, it was owned by the Turks. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks and took the former place of Yunzhong County to establish Yunzhou. This place was found.

Yunzhou is close to Dingxiang, and its capital Yunzhongcheng and Dingxiangcheng are also far away from the Great Wall, only a hundred miles apart. This is also the forefront of the enemy in the northern Tang Dynasty that was the enemy of the grasslands and was a major city where heavy troops were stationed.

Li Ke rode his horse north for days and did not dare to rest any time. He rushed from Chang'an to Yunzhou. In just over four days, when Li Ke and his party arrived outside Yunzhong City, it was evening.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round."

It has been four years since he returned to Beijing from Mobei in the fourth year of Zhenguan, and passed by Yunzhong City, Li Ke has revisited his hometown again. It has been four years since Li Ke rode his horse on the official road in Yunzhou. Looking at the sky like bloody sunset, the ancient city that has stood for thousands of years under the afterglow of the sunset, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Your Highness revisited his old place, but I feel something?" Beside Li Ke, Wang Xuance heard Li Ke's sigh and asked Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled and said, "Sir, I know that since the fourth year of Zhenguan, I have returned to Beijing to Beijing. After I was in Chang'an and in the soft and soft place of Yangzhou, I have been wasting four years in Chang'an. Although I am free, I am also bored. Once upon a time, I could only return to the northern border in my dream, stepping on the Yanran. I never thought that until today, my dream has come true again."

Wang Xuance also smiled and said, "Your Highness's ambition is to be peaceful in the world. Now, after four years of going north, it is enough to get what you want."

Li Ke nodded and said, "Famous fame is just about to be won. We martial officials should have volunteered to fight north, but it is not a long-term solution to lie in Chang'an for a long time."

As Li Ke said, he seemed to remember something again, so he actually pointed out the name of Changsun Chong behind him and asked, "Zi Jing (Zhangsun Chong's name), what do you think?"

Changsun Chong was a military officer in Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, and asked for documents with his hands. He was also a close minister who was with him. Changsun Chong was just behind Li Ke, but he didn't expect that Li Ke would take the initiative to call his name.

When Changsun Chong heard this, he was stunned at first, and then went forward and replied: "What Your Highness said is very true."

Li Ke looked at Changsun Chong as if he had slowed down. He was obviously absent-minded or had thought about something else in his heart, so he asked, "I think Zijing looks a little bit unhappy, but when I first arrived in the northern part of the country, I was unable to adapt to it for a while?"

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am still good at it, and I am not uncomfortable."

Li Ke asked, "Why did Zijing feel a little restless just now? But what are you worried about?"

Changsun Chong replied truthfully: "The short poems that Your Highness has just recited are magnificent and poor, and are difficult to find for a while. They are really a masterpiece, but it seems that there is still an unfinished meaning. When there is still some text, I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't respond to it. I lost my god. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."

"Ha ha..."

Li Ke laughed after hearing Changsun Chong's words, and Li Ke asked, "Is this good about Zijing?"

Changsun rushed back and said, "I often think about it myself in the mansion, and I occasionally gain something, but most of it is shallow and cannot compare to Your Highness. Even if your Highness's short sentence just now, I will not be able to respond. Your Highness is better than your Highness."

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "When is this? Zijing is too humble."

Changsun Chong said truthfully: "I am not overly humble but honest. I am not as envious as Your Highness. Even if I give me ten years, I cannot write a simple and magnificent short poem like "The desert is lonely and the sun sets in the long river". I hope your highness will give me advice."

Li Ke looked at Changsun Chong's serious look, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Although Changsun Chong and his brother Changsun Huan were brothers of the same mother, Changsun Chong's temperament was completely different from Changsun Huan. Changsun Huan was playful and domineering, which made people disgusted, but Changsun Chong had a kindness of a gentleman, and had the style of an ancient famous scholar. If his father was Changsun Wuji, Li Ke would have the intention of having a deep friendship with him.

Li Ke said: "This poem does have an unfinished meaning, but it's too early to say it now. It's inevitable that it's arrogance. It's better to make up for it after the success."

"That's good, I'll ask Your Highness for advice at that time." Changsun Chong bowed and responded.

Although Li Ke and Changsun Chong's father Changsun Wuji had disagreements, they were both young and of similar age. Since they had already started, they could naturally speak well. Moreover, Changsun Chong had a good conversation and was very considerate of his words. He obviously put a hard time on the military affairs of Bingzhou. The two of them walked and chatted, and soon they arrived at Yunzhong City.

When Li Ke and his group arrived outside the city, the generals stationed in the city had been waiting outside the city for a long time.

Li Ji, the chief of the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Xiangzhou, Su Dingfang, the governor of Shuozhou, and Qiao Shiwang, the governor of Yunzhou. The four of them stood in front, and behind them were the officials and commanders of the various prefectures who were fighting against each other.

"The last general will pay homage to the Grand Commander!" Li Ke arrived at the city, and the crowd bowed down and bowed down.

Li Ke quickly dismounted, walked to Li Ji standing in front of him, raised his hand and helped him up, and said, "Please get up quickly, generals."

"Thank you, Governor." Everyone thanked him and stood up.

This time, when he left the city to welcome Li Ke and others, the only one who could speak to Li Ke was the chief minister Li Ji and the three governors, who were just foiling others. Among the four leading people, Su Dingfang, the governor of Shuozhou, was the old subordinate of Li Ke. He was once the guard of Li Ke and followed the Mobei region, so he was naturally close to Li Ke.

But it was precisely because Su Dingfang was Li Ke's confidant, and Su Dingfang had never rushed forward to speak. However, the governor of Xiangzhou, Zhang Gongjin, who had some friendship with Li Ke in his early years, spoke first: "After eight years, I don't want to meet the governor in Yunzhou today. The governor is a bit more heroic than that."

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin was the deputy general of Li Jing and participated in the battle of the Turks. At that time, Zhang Gongjin met Li Ke, which was considered a bit of friendship. Moreover, in the battle of Dingxiangcheng, Jie Li held Li Ke to death and ordered Li Ke to persuade him to surrender in front of the formation. Li Ke, who was only twelve years old, could put justice first and say the saying "There are only Li Ke who died in battle in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no surrendered prince." Zhang Gongjin respected Li Ke very much until today.

Li Ke replied with a smile: "Governor Zhang is still in style, even better than that of the past. In the battle of the Turkic War in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Governor Zhang's past reputation seems to be still in front of him."

Zhang Gongjin also smiled and said, "Your Highness was still a young man at that time. Who would have thought that in just four years, the last general would be under the command of the Grand Commander."

“Where, where.”

Li Ke first said modestly, then bowed his hand and said to the four people in front of him: "Although I am a troop, it is the first time I have led the army in the border state. If there is something I can't do, I hope you can give me some advice."

When the four of them heard this, they bowed together and said, "We will serve as the Grand Commander and jointly decide on the Northern Affairs Office."

After saying that, Qiao Shiwang, the governor of Yunzhou, the procurator, raised his hand and said to Li Ke: "It's getting late, and it's cold outside the city. Please ask the governor to come into the city to speak."

"Okay." Li Ke responded and went to Yunzhongcheng first.

When Li Ke entered the city, the troops who were originally waiting outside the city also dispersed, leaving only Li Ji and four others behind Li Ke.

After the greetings, Li Ke was most concerned about the war. Li Ke walked and asked Li Ji: "Master Li, what is the situation in Dingxiang City at the moment? Where is the grand plan now?"
