    Goryeo wanted to negotiate peace with Tang Dynasty, which made the new Tang army in Baiyan City very happy.  ""/""/*. To be honest, no one wants to fight or bleed. It is a good thing to be able to negotiate peace!  After all, the new army is not a professional soldier like the black guards, nor does it like the Turkic cavalry who like killing.

    Therefore, the atmosphere in Baiyan City is much more relaxed than usual.

    However, that afternoon, at dusk, a burst of rapid horse hooves broke the tranquility of the evening, and a group of about a hundred men in black clothes rushed towards Baiyan City and headed straight for the Northern King's general palace.  The cavalrymen on the horses were in tatters and stained with blood, as if they had experienced a great battle.  When Bai Qi arrived at the General's Mansion, the Centurion jumped off his horse and landed steadily in front of the General's Mansion, shouting loudly, "Secret Report from Chang'an Six Hundred Miles——"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the mansion did not stop him, and the centurion strode into the general's mansion.

    Li Ke was reading in the study when he heard Wang Zhongchang coming in a hurry, his face looking very heavy, "Your Highness, a secret report has come from Chang'an."

    "Well -" Seeing the expression on Wang Zhongchang's face, Li Ke felt a sudden thought and said, "Let him bring the centurion into his study to talk."

    "Nuo——" Wang Zhongchang left.

    In a moment, he led the Eagle Guard Centurion in black clothes, who was in tatters and stained with blood, into the study.

    "See Your Highness——" The centurion saluted Li Ke.

    "You were ambushed?" Li Ke asked when he saw the centurion's appearance.

    "We encountered three ambushes along the way, and a hundred soldiers were killed -" the centurion said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, the emperor has appointed His Royal Highness Nan Wang as the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in the Taiji Hall soon -  —”

    "What?" Li Ke was shocked, stood up from his chair and asked, "Say it again - who wants to take the throne?"

    "The Eastern King Li Zhi has been appointed as the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in Taiji Hall on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month -" the centurion took a breath and continued.  .

    "What about father? How is he? Now - he -" Li Ke asked hurriedly, but at this point, he did not dare to continue asking.

    "The emperor is seriously ill and can neither speak nor act. The current state affairs are handled by Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Cen Wenwen -" the centurion continued.

    "Stroke?" Li Ke took a breath. According to the centurion's description, he understood Li Shimin's current condition. He definitely suffered from a stroke. He knew very well that the cure rate of stroke was very low.

    "What about Fang Xuanling?" Li Ke asked again.

    "Fang Xuanling can't get out of bed either-" the centurion continued.

    "You go down -" Li Ke said to the centurion calmly.

    "No" the centurion left the study.

    "Zhongchang Wang - summon the generals to the king's study to discuss matters -" Li Ke said coldly.

    Commander Wang took the order and left.

    In the time it took for half a stick of incense to be used, the generals had already arrived at Li Ke's study.

    They are Liu Rengui, Pei Xinglian, Xue Rengui, Landong, Hou Hu, and Xu Zhong of the New Army.

    "My father is unwell and has passed the throne to Nan Wang Li Zhi. Nan Wang will ascend the throne on the fifth day of May -" Li Ke said slowly.

    “What——” The generals were shocked.

    Xue Rengui was the first to speak, "What qualifications does the Southern King have to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? The throne belongs to your highness. Please give the last general 30,000 elite cavalry. The last general will kill to Chang'an City and capture the Southern King Li Zhi alive."

    Xue Rengui yelled angrily. He didn't even use the usual title of principal, and called Li Ke directly as your highness.

    "Principal, the 50,000 soldiers of the New Army will definitely follow you to kill Chang'an City!" Xu Zhong also said.

    "Ah - the throne is not your Highness's?" Lan Dong shouted, "Your Highness, the Turkic elite cavalry are on standby at any time - to kill Chang'an City -"

    Pei Xinglian and Liu Rengui were also filled with indignation, and Hou Hu was about to pull out his sword.

    The atmosphere in the study suddenly became violent.

    Li Ke looked at everyone quietly, and then said, "I must return to Chang'an -" Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Li Ke continued, "But we must also make some plans -"

    Everyone was silent, waiting for Li Ke's order.

    "Zhengze, I will leave Liaodong to you. You must destroy Goryeo for me!" Li Ke ordered.

    "Nuo" Liu Rengui took the order.

    "Xuzhong, Landong, your elite cavalry stay in Liaodong to assist Zhengze——" Li Ke continued to say to Landong and Xu Zhong.

    “Your Highness——” Lan Dong and Xu Zhong wanted to speak, but were stopped by Li Ke.He said, "Landong, there are too many cities in Goryeo, and the task of massacring the city will be completed by your Turkic army. Xu Zhong, the mission of the new army is to destroy Goryeo, not to return to Chang'an to take the throne——"

    "Nuo——" Seeing that Li Ke said it so seriously, the two stopped arguing.

    "Pei Xinglian, Xue Li, Hou Hu——" Li Ke ordered, "Prepare troops and horses and set off tonight——"

    "Nuo——" Pei Xinglian, Xue Li, and Hou Hu took the order and strode out of the study.

    Immediately, Li Ke discussed the battle plan against Goryeo with Liu Rengui, Landong, and Xu Zhong before letting them leave.

    After that, Li Ke asked the Eagle Guard to send an order to Chen Qi in Taiyuan, asking him to start gathering an army. He also sent an order to Su Dingfang in the northwest, asking him to guard the Western Regions and not to easily transfer troops back to Chang'an.  By the time this is done, the army will be ready.

    Li Ke followed Wang Zhongzhang out of the general's mansion.

    Outside the general's mansion, 20,000 Eagle Guards were ready to go.

    Li Ke rode out of Baiyan City. There were 30,000 black cavalry troops and 10,000 wolf cavalry battalions waiting quietly outside the city.

    Seeing Li Ke leaving the city, Pei Xinglian, Xue Rengui, and Hou Hu stepped forward to follow Li Ke. The Eagle Guard was in the middle, the Wolf Cavalry Battalion acted as the forward, 30,000 black cavalry troops closely followed, and three elite cavalry generals  Li Ke gathered in the middle and headed toward the southern sky in the dusk.

    Along the way, Li Ke's itinerary took the Youbei Grassland to Yunzhou, and then took the Taiyuan road.

    Because the governor of Youzhou is Cheng Zhijie, not one of his, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the test in Youzhou.  If you have to attack forcefully at that time, it will outweigh the gains and waste time.  Yunzhou was under the control of Daizhou Governor, and Daizhou Governor Li Mengchang was his confidant general.  This road can lead to Taiyuan smoothly.

    So, Li Ke chose this path.

    Actually, he didn’t want to take away these 30,000 black cavalry troops.  However, when he thought about the importance of Taiyuan, if he mobilized too many troops to go to Chang'an, Taiyuan's defense would be empty, and the enemy would take advantage of it, which would make him very passive.

    It only took Li Ke eight days to arrive in Yunzhou. When he arrived in Yunzhou, he found that Li Mengchang, the governor of Daizhou, was already waiting for him in Yunzhou. The two met and chatted for a while, and Li Ke rested in Yunzhou for a day.  , he continued on his way the next day, and it took him nearly five days to arrive in Taiyuan.

    Taiyuan City has already entered a period of preparation for war.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A special Royal Army Academy, the students were very excited when they heard that Nan Wang Li Zhi was established as the crown prince, and they took the initiative to fight with righteous indignation.  Because these students have been poisoned by Li Ke's ideas of colonization and aggression. For these hawkish militants, if the cowardly Nanwang becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they will lose the ability to make contributions, expand territories, and be crowned kings and prime ministers.  Opportunity.  Only when the bellicose Northern King Li Ke and the war-loving Northern King succeeded to the throne could they be of use.

    When Li Ke returned to Taiyuan, he did not overreach, but invited his confidants to the study room of the palace to discuss matters.

    This time, Li Jing did not come to discuss with Li Ke, but sent a letter.  Li Ke opened the envelope, and there were only six words on the letter: Don't let anyone live in ruins.  Li Ke knew what Li Jing was thinking, so he no longer forced him.
