Another half month.
Li Jing had already come to Yanmen Pass to hand over the task to Xu Yunyan. Xu Yunyan lost his lofty ambitions after obeying orders under Li Jing.
It’s not a lie to leave seclusion, nor is it timidity.
Instead, Li Jing dissuaded Xu Yunyan after hearing his plan.
"Don't send troops when heavy snow is about to close the mountains. If you are hit by a disaster and are trapped in the north, no one will be able to go to the rescue. And when the wind and snow are severe, the Turks will not be able to travel long distances. , they have missed the best opportunity, but we must also be careful of some small tribes jumping over the wall."
After some persuasion, Xu Yunyan was ordered to lead a team to patrol the border and beware of any possible dangers.
As for Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, they slowly strolled from Chang'an City to Bingzhou Taiyuan, and then wandered north in Taiyuan for a few days. No one dared to cause trouble for them, which made them very unhappy.
Forced to have no choice but to break into pieces, sneak back quietly and then return to Chang'an from Taiyuan.
This made both of them feel that this remnant of the previous dynasty was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Xu Yunyan eliminated a group of remnants of the previous dynasty, but Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin came out without running into Li Jing or Xiao Xiao as a caravan, and they couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you really have so much money to pay for the remnants? What's more, they have to go to their hometown in the south. Who would be so blind and stay in a place where the Northland has been severely hit?"
But it was such a coincidence that Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking. He came to Taiyuan once in a rare time, and when he was about to return to Chang'an City from Taiyuan, he suddenly said something.
"Everyone, why don't we go to the north and take a look?"
Li Shimin's words shocked his confidants Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
"Your Highness, we should be returning to Beijing now to reply to the emperor's orders. Will anything happen if we head to the Northland rashly?"
These Li Shimin's confidants were trying to persuade him, but Li Shimin smiled.
"It doesn't matter, let's go to the North now just to inquire about the situation. After we figure out the deployment of the Turks in the North, we can raise troops to fight them in the North. Wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?"
Li Shimin's words aroused the recognition of the generals and counselors under his command. After these generals and counselors agreed, Li Shimin led his team in disguise and headed towards the north.
However, the army heading towards the North was still detected by Xu Yunyan's elite soldiers as it got closer and closer to the North.
A pair of fast horses quickly passed in front of Li Shimin's team. Although the Tang army was armored and equipped to the teeth, Li Shimin and the others had no experience. However, looking at the superb riding skills and well-trained skills of these soldiers, His mobility is amazing.
After this group of cavalry quickly formed a loose encirclement around them, Li Jing and others couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The secular people trained by Xu Yunyan knew that they were extremely elite, and they had never experienced it on the battlefield. However, seeing them here now surprised them. Just when these people were chatting here, these Tang soldiers slowly Come closer.
"What do you do? Why do you cross the border privately to go to Turks?"
These cavalrymen ignored them and started asking questions when they came up, which made the counselors and guards around Li Shimin very unhappy.
A guard stepped forward.
"You are so blind, don't you recognize that this is His Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty? He is patrolling the border, and you actually dare to ask, what do you want to do?"
These cavalrymen were shocked when they heard that it was His Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. They had no way to testify whether this person was real or fake. They could only temporarily retreat and leave the scene to the person who claimed to be the King of Qin.
As these soldiers left, Xu Yunyan quickly got the news and rushed to the King of Qin Li Shimin. From a distance, he saw that it was really the King of Qin Li Shimin. This was correct.
Immediately, Xu Yunyan dismounted and quickly stepped forward to pay homage.
"Don't let Xu Yunyan meet His Highness the King of Qin. The King of Qin is a thousand years old!"
Li Shimin was also surprised when he saw Xu Yunyan.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
Xu Yunyan looked businesslike and raised his fist towards Li Shimin.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the general is patrolling the border under the orders of General Li and is currently on a mission. I wonder what your Highness the King of Qin has ordered?"
It's still the feeling of later generations, it's still the words of later generations, it's still the actions of later generations. After a set of standard movements, Xu Yunyan was here waiting for Li Shimin's arrangements.
It was a rare opportunity for Li Shimin to meet Xu Yunyan and he couldn't help but hold him back. He was about to have a discussion here. However, when they just met here and wanted to say something, a carrier pigeon quickly flew towards Xu Yunyan. aside.
After the carrier pigeon met the person on Xu Yunyan's side who was arranged by Li Jing to receive the carrier pigeon, he delivered the message from Li Jing.
This scene also made Li Shimin very curious.
"I didn't expect you to convey information in such a clever way?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Shimin asking himself this, and couldn't help but be a little curious. Don't you, the emperor of all ages, know this method?
Although Xu Yunyan was curious, he did not dare to express his question, and immediately replied to Li Shimin here.
"Your Highness, this matter can only be used in critical moments, and the success rate is not high, especially since there are so many eagles in the north. If the carrier pigeon is caught, there will be no chance of delivering the message. General Li must have delivered it. The news is not about this one, but there is only this one, so there must have been problems with a few of them along the way."
Li Shimin was startled at this moment. What if there was something wrong with the carrier pigeon when delivering the message and the message was leaked?
Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to continue asking questions here, Xu Yunyan scratched his head, "So, what your Highness is conveying is usually very important news, and it may be known to both the enemy and us. Even if it is encrypted, it will not work, just in case. If it’s polluted, it’s the opposite.”
After Xu Yunyan said this, Li Shimin didn't say anything, but the advisers next to him were suspicious.
"What if the Turks capture the carrier pigeon and change the news?"
"No, we have left some code marks on this creed. If not, it means it is false."
"What if they add a stroke to your name?"
"Our ink is also special. Although it is also black, our ink is insoluble in water, and this note is not afraid of water. But if the Turks come to make things worse, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance? We also know that this news has been Changed."
Li Shimin was a little surprised that Xu Yunyan revealed so much anti-counterfeiting information, but he still looked at Xu Yunyan with a straight face, waiting for Xu Yunyan to explain to him the meaning of the order given by Li Jing.
Seeing Li Shimin anxiously waiting for him to see what the carrier pigeon had written, Xu Yunyan didn't give him any trouble, and hurriedly glanced at the information on the carrier pigeon and said to Li Shimin.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Chang'an, but was attacked by Xiaoxiao on his way back to Chang'an."
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xu Yunyan's expression remained calm after he finished speaking this paragraph.
Looking at Xu Yunyan, he asked, "Are you not surprised at all when the prince was attacked?"
"I will be surprised without realizing it."
Xu Yunyan also felt that he had been too indifferent just now, and said to Li Shimin here, "I just feel that the general's Taishan collapsed in front of him and his expression remains unchanged, which is the best."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes! You are right. People who have not seen me will not change their expressions after hearing this message? It is indeed as you said. We, as generals, will face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing our expressions. "
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness King Qin." Xu Yunyan hit the snake and took the stick. After Li Shimin praised him, he hurriedly flattered Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin asked Xu Yunyan as if he was taking a test, "Do you know who General Xu thinks is responsible for ambushing the prince?"
"Remnants of the previous dynasty!"
Xu Yunyan said without thinking that he would not dare to relate this matter to any party struggle. After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, they are just remnants of the previous dynasty. I wonder if General Xu has any good plans to deal with these remnants of the previous dynasty?"
