After reading the letter, Li Qing handed the letter to Zhang Mingyue, and then stood up, took off the map hanging on the wall, and then folded it neatly.

"Prince, the prince actually wants to go to the battle together? This is probably because His Majesty wants to prevent the prince from getting the greatest contribution? The prince is actually not interested in leading troops to fight."

After Zhang Mingyue finished speaking, he shook his head slightly and said, "The prince is indeed not very willing to lead troops, but in this letter, His Majesty mentioned that it was the prince who recommended me and himself, and suggested that I be appointed General Pingxi. If all this was arranged by His Majesty, with his personality, he would never have thought that he would say this. This time, he was probably really asking for it."

"The prince took the initiative to ask for it? The prince doesn't have to think too much. This will not be a bad thing. If there is any mistake in this battle, no one will blame you. The prince will bear everything in front of you."

"If I think so, I don't have to fight this battle anymore. I'm afraid with the prince's mind and Li Mi's guidance, I already know that there is a shadow of the Tubo people behind him. So this time he came out, he just wanted to do something for the Tang Dynasty. He also understood that at least the battle with the Nanzhao people in front of him must be taken down, otherwise he would not have to fight with Tubo."

After Li Yan explained, Zhang Mingyue nodded slightly. She understood that this was definitely a tough battle, and she also understood that Li Yan's heart was full of how to repel the enemy, not how much credit could be obtained in this battle.

"Okay! It seems we have to set off in the past two days. This time, let me go to Jiannan Road with you!"

Although Zhang Mingyue knew how dangerous it was to go to Jiannan Road to fight, she still expressed her attitude.

"No! This time after we arrive in Chang'an City, you will stay in the Jianning Palace and wait for me."

"Why is this? Even if I went to Hebei Road before, I was still with the prince. Why did I stay in Chang'an this time?"

Zhang Mingyue said this, and his little mouth immediately pouted. Seeing this, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, and then said in Zhang Mingyue's ear: "This has nothing to do with you. I went to Hebei Road to serve as the governor of Hebei Road. If there was no Nanzhao incident, I was afraid that your Majesty's original intention was to let me stay in Hebei Road for a few years. But I was urgently in power, so I was transferred away. But please see, what is my official position this time?"

"General Pingxi?"

"Yes, since it has already shown that I will no longer be appointed as the governor of Hebei Dao, and I will not be appointed as the governor of Jiannan Dao, this means that after this battle, Your Majesty still wants me to return to Chang'an! So you go back first, just waiting for me in Chang'an City."

Zhang Mingyue thought for a while and found that what Li Neng said was indeed reasonable. Moreover, when she came to Hebei Road, she thought about accompanying Li Neng. However, after arriving, she realized that Li Neng was not able to accompany her to lead troops to fight. When Li Neng was fighting, she could only find a quieter city to wait.

In fact, this is almost the same as in Chang'an City, and Zhang Mingyue is also very smart. At that time, he thought about his relationship with the queen. The role of staying in Chang'an City must be greater than in other places. After all, the queen can always know the emperor's first-hand news.

"Okay! I'll wait in Chang'an City, but once the Tubo people intervene in the battle between us and the Nanzhao people, do you still have to go to war with the Tubo people directly?"

Hearing the words of Tubo people, Li Yi's face immediately became solemn, and he nodded and said, "It's a matter of time before we start a war with the Tubo people. However, with the nature of the Tubo people, we will most likely choose a time when we are most uncomfortable to attack the Tang Dynasty. However, since I have already thought about it now, it will be difficult for them to think of it again."

"But the Tang Dynasty's troops are really not enough, right?"

"Just from the perspective of our own military strength, it is indeed not enough, but has my wife ever thought that before I fought with the Uighurs, wasn't our military strength also insufficient? In the end, the Uighurs also returned in shame? As long as their thoughts do not slip, the methods will still be more difficult than difficulties!"

As soon as Li Qing goes, although Zhang Mingyue has never heard of it before, she can at least understand the meaning of it. After thinking about it carefully, she immediately understood why what Li Qing said, but how Li Qing is about to do it, and now she is also confused.

After cleaning up in his mansion, Li Neng directly summoned several of his confidants. Li Heng had something to say in his letter to him. Whether it was a soldier or a general, he would choose at will. As long as he gave Yan Zhenqing some troops to defend Hebei Road in the end, it would be enough.

His father has left him with such a convenient condition, and all aspects of Hebei Road have almost been on track under the adjustment of Li Neng. Even if the Uighurs in the north are unwilling to give up, there will be no abnormal movements with Tongluo tribes and Pugu tribes guarding here for a while.

Moreover, Li Qing asked for his order to dispatch Yan Zhenqing here before, just to one day if he left Hebei Road, he would at least be a literary and martial person. In this way, he would of course have to take all his confidants away.

"What? Nanzhao started to advance so soon? It seems that he was indeed criticized by the prince!"

When Zhang Xun and the others saw Li Heng’s letter, they immediately thought that what Li Neng mentioned before at the dinner table might have become a reality.

"It's not time to go. I'm afraid that the King of Nanzhao has already had cavalry now. Let's go back to Chang'an City first, and then raise troops from Chang'an City to Jiannan Road. I don't know how much time it will take to go along the way. I wonder if Li Guangbi and my uncle in Jiannan Road can stop it!"

When the few people saw that the matter had reached this point, they immediately went back to prepare their troops.

As a result, a look at the current situation in Hebei Road was to leave at least 10,000 troops to guard in Yuyang, and Youzhou would also leave 20,000 defenders to Yan Zhenqing.

By doing this, the men and horses that Li Qing could take away from Youzhou were only 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

"Prince, these men may not be able to reverse the situation when they arrive in Jiannan Road!" Zhang Xun said this with concern when reporting the number of people to Li Qing.

"Whether it can be reversed, this battle is inevitable. Even if there are not many people in Hexi, we must not just let the Tubo people take advantage of it in vain!"
