Seeing Li Zheng closing his eyes and while he was not asleep, Li Shimin said, "The grain is about to be harvested, and news has been coming from Tubo. I think it's time to send troops."

Li Zheng nodded, but still closed his eyes.

Li Shimin said again: "Although you didn't tell me, Qingque said that the environment in the Western Regions is not suitable for large-scale military dispatch. I know that these words should be what you said to Qingque. I can't understand why you didn't say them to me yourself."

Li Zheng changed his sleeping position and said, "I'm too lazy to talk about it."

"I'm too lazy to say..." Li Shimin's mouth twitched, "You're too lazy to say such major issues in the country."

"Your Majesty has so many capable ministers and generals in his hands, so I won't talk much."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Now that the Tubo war reports are frequently circulating, the cannibals are rectifying their troops and will hit the Tubo border at any time. I have already planned to send troops."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty just need it."

Li Shimin said again: "Don't you want to say more?"

Li Zheng yawned lazily and said nothing.

Seeing this boy's lazy attitude, Li Shimin continued: "The situation in Tubo was planned by you and I at the beginning, and you can't let go."

"I didn't say anything about letting go."

"You are the general of the Longwu Army. I ordered you to send a team to go to the war with the army."

Seeing that Li Zheng still had no reaction, Li Shimin stood up and said, "This is my will."

After saying that, Li Shimin left.

Sleep came, and Li Zheng fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, it was already afternoon.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Wang Ding's smiling face.

Li Zheng sat up and said, "Eunuch Wang, what are you asking for?"

Wang Ding raised the decree in his hand and said, "This is Your Majesty's will. Your Majesty has ordered Chang'an to send a team of 1,000 people to go to Tubo with the army. The general to go to the expedition is Li Daliang."

Hearing this name, Li Zheng remembered, "Isn't General Li Daliang guarding Yumen Pass now?"

Wang Ding nodded and said, "It is General Li Daliang who is guarding Yumen Pass. The army gathered at Yumen Pass, and entered the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor. He followed the management to take over Xizhou and Gaochang, and then entered Tubo to resist the great cannibals. As for the team of one thousand people in Jingyang, Chang'an ordered it to choose by himself."

Li Zheng took the decree and took a look. What Wang Ding said was exactly the same as the decree. The troops to go to the expedition were 30,000 troops.

Not the one hundred thousand troops mentioned earlier.

Li Shimin can still listen to some words.

Putting the order aside, Li Zheng stood up. This time Li Shimin sent 30,000 troops to Tubo, and there must be some reasons why he wanted to get the secret of gunpowder.

Wang Ding said again: "The will is brought, and the old slave will take his leave first."

Li Zheng nodded slightly.

After Wang Ding left, Li Zheng walked out of the house.

When we arrived at the Jingyang Guard, Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui and Li Ke were training the members of the Guard in the camp.

When it was almost night, the exercise ended.

Several people sat together, Li Zheng looked at the three of them and said, "Your Majesty is planning to send troops to Tubo."

Li Ke nodded and said, "I heard it."

Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui also nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "This time, our Longwu Army, which is now the Jingyang Guard, also sent a team of 1,000 people to go to the expedition."

Li Ke said first: "I'll go, I've been to the Western Regions once and I have more experience.

Xue Rengui said, "I can go too. Chumo's wife is going to have a baby these days, so I'm afraid she can't go."

"It's all military and national affairs, so women won't understand it. I can go." Cheng Chumo said loudly.

Anyone can go, but Li Zheng looked at the three of them. Li Ke was not suitable for going to Tubo again. The last time was enough to worry Li Shimin. Li Ke was a prince and had a different identity. Even if Li Ke wanted to go to the army to fight, Li Shimin would nod.

Cheng Chumo's wife is about to have a baby, which is a big event for Cheng Chumo, and Chumo is not suitable for going on a war.

Xue Rengui is more suitable.

Li Zheng continued: "I think about it again these days you can find people from the Western Regions. I will consider who will lead the Longwu Army."

After hearing what Li Zheng said, it was hard for the three of them to say anything more.

Walking out of the camp of the Jingyang Guards, Li Zheng looked at the sunset in the distance, and the war was about to begin again.

Tubo is the western barrier of the Central Plains. If you defend the natural dangers of Mount Everest, you can be safe to the west of the Central Plains for a hundred years.

War is not a trivial matter, one person goes to war and the whole family is concerned about it.

"Chang'an Order."

Words came from behind, and Li Zheng looked back and saw that it was Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian.

These two boys have also grown a lot taller, and Di Renjie has already had a bit of beard.

Now it seems that it is almost as tall as myself.

It is rare to see Pei Xingjian, a very low-key child, who has been learning medical skills from Sun Simiao.

Pei Xingjian said, "Chang'an Order, today I heard the news that Your Majesty is going to send troops to fight against Tubo."

Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly.

Since Li Shimin issued the decree, it is definitely known to everyone in the government and the public.

After all, we will go to war. From here, we can see a large area of ​​the fields that are about to mature food.

Pei Xingjian stood behind Li Zheng and said, "Chang'an Order has been in Jingyang for three years. He has been learning medical skills from Dr. Sun over the years, and now he can go to the hospital by himself."

Di Renjie said: "Pei Xingjian is the best among the disciples of Doctor Sun."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "It's very good."

Pei Xingjian bowed and said, "Actually, I don't know how much I have learned, but I practice medicine and cure diseases and save people. I have been in the village all the time. I usually see people around me for minor pain and illness. Now I have heard that the court is going to send troops to Tubo, and I want to go to war with the army."

Looking at Pei Xingjian's expression, Li Zheng asked, "You are only fourteen years old now."

Di Renjie hurriedly said, "Chang'an Order, Pei Xingjian is two years older than me, and now he is fifteen years old."

"You are underage at the age of fifteen, and you are not yet married. According to Tang Dynasty law, you cannot go to the army, and the court has not yet reached the point of letting your children go to the battle."

Pei Xingjian lowered his head and said, "My family lives in Hexi. When I was a child, I saw war scenes. I knew that many people would die in war. I had seen cars of half-dead people pulling them off the battlefield. Those people were still angry and able to speak at the beginning, but they were not treated for a long time, and those who should have survived died."

Speaking of this, Pei Xingjian looked a little decisive, "If Chang'an Order does not agree, I have to thank Chang'an Order for his care over the years and go to Tubo by himself."

Di Renjie said anxiously: "The army has not yet set out to fight. Why don't Chang'an order consider it? The army is out to fight, so you should be able to take care of each other."
