In fact, Li Shimin has certainly considered this issue, this holy decree was instructed by Li Zhi, drafted by Zhongshu Province, approved by Li Shimin, and also checked by the Ministry of Menxia, and the six ministries and ministers have the right to know.

Yet, such a decree was issued, why?

When Li Zhi took this drafted decree to Li Shimin's bedside, Li Shimin's eyebrows tightened after seeing it, and he wanted to shake his head, in such an extraordinary period, he also handed over all the military power of the Tang Dynasty to Li Hao, which was simply to let Li Shimin gamble with the Tang Dynasty and his own net worth, and bet on whether Li Hao was brave and loyal.

Li Shimin didn't trust Li Hao enough, after all, Li Hao had deceived him, and the matter of Hou Junji's rebellion also made Li Shimin angry, from Hou Junji's rebellion, he came to the conclusion that people's hearts are separated from each other, and the friends who fought together back then will also turn against him because of a little resentment, Li Hao was exiled to Qiongnan, is there no resentment in his heart?

However, Li Zhi's words made Li Shimin speechless, at that time, Li Zhi said this: "Father, we have no choice, if there are not enough soldiers and horses, even if Li Hao goes out, it will not help, only to give him the power, can succeed, 10,000 steps back, if Li Hao defeats Tubo, take the opportunity to rebel, the son also admitted, at least ...... Li Hao is Han Chinese. ”

This sentence is like a knife, pierced into Li Shimin's heart, yes, the land of China, how can Hu Lu be rampant, even if he gives this country to Li Hao, he can't let the Tubo barbarians trample on the Han people.

Li Shimin felt very sad, the invincible Tian Khan in the world back then, but when he was old, he ended up like this, he had to ask for help, and he had to bet on the Tang Dynasty, so to speak, after Li Hao obtained the military position of the generalissimo of the Ten Soldiers and Horses, the Tang Dynasty throne was within his reach.

Some people are not understood by the world after all, because his thinking has surpassed this era, and Li Hao is such a person. The throne may be the ultimate power on earth to others, but to him, it is like a floating cloud, which has never existed in his heart.

On the night of receiving the holy decree, Li Hao packed his bags, arranged the affairs in the palace, and set off the next day, in order to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, Li Hao set off lightly this time, and only brought two people, namely his apprentice Situ Feng and Xue Rengui, and the others all stayed in Qiongnan.

They landed from Leizhou, and after landing, they rode their horses all the way to the north, Li Hao's mount was a lion's horse, and Xue Rengui and Situ Feng's horses were also thousands of miles of good horses, all of which were rewarded by Li Shimin.

But the sky is not beautiful, the next morning, it rained, although the rain is not big, but it is not small, Li Hao was in a hurry, bought three clothes, the three of them put on the clothes and rushed in the rain, the rainy day trip will not be too fast, the rain stopped in the evening, the temperature dropped, although the three of them were wearing clothes, but the waterproof function of the clothes was really general, the three of them were wet, especially Li Hao, there was almost no dry place on the body, and it felt that the clothes were worn in white.

That night, Li Hao felt hot all over his body, his mouth was dry, and the next morning, Xue Rengui got up and found that he had a splitting headache, as if he was sick, but even so, he had to hurry, King Qin was a big deal, but Li Hao didn't get up for a long time, Xue Rengui went to Li Hao's room to take a look, and found that Li Hao was hot, his consciousness was blurred, and he was very sick.

At this time, Situ Feng also came from his room, Situ Feng kept running nose and seemed to be sick, seeing that Li Hao was so sick, the two hurriedly sent Li Hao to the hospital for treatment.

Li Hao was really sick this time, he took medicine for three days before the fever subsided, and his body gradually gained strength, this delay was three days, which was simply bad news for them who were anxious.

Li Hao also secretly sighed that his body was not angry, why did he get sick at this time, in fact, he didn't want to think about it, it was winter now, even if the weather in the south was warm, it was still relatively cold at night, and after getting wet, he still rode a horse and blew the wind, he didn't get sick who was sick.

After another day of rest, Li Hao's body was finally well, Situ Feng and Xue Rengui's illness had already been cured, the three of them went on the road again, two days later, they arrived in Hezhou, Li Hao and Xue Rengui discussed the itinerary against the map, and decided to go straight north across Jiangnan Road, through Yuezhou into Shannan Road, and then along the eastern edge of Shannan Road to Shangzhou, this route is the fastest. Because the western half of Shannan Road belongs to the Bashu region, there has been a saying that Shu Road is difficult since ancient times, and they must bypass Bashu.

After setting the itinerary, the three of them ran wildly all the way according to the established route, and after ten days, they finally arrived in Yuezhou, which is the famous Yueyang. However, they did not enter Yueyang City, but rested in Baling County near Yueyang, and when they arrived at Baling, it was noon, Li Hao calculated, if they walked faster in the afternoon, they could rush to Fuzhou in Shannan Road before sunset, and they could stay there.

Since Li Hao said so, Xue Rengui and Situ Feng naturally nodded, after all, Li Hao is the leader, everything is up to him, when he is about to leave the border of Baling, there is Wollongong in front, this is the last stop of Baling, and there is no one far ahead, Li Hao and they will drink horses and rest in the tea shop in Wollongong, and drink some tea and eat some dry food by the way.

This Wollongong tea shop is next to the official road, the business is quite good, this moment is the best time to hurry, there are often pedestrians passing by on the road, and when they are tired, they sit down to drink a cup of tea and rest their feet, so now there are four of the five tables in the tea shop with pedestrians.

After Li Hao and the others sat down, they asked for a pot of tea, and ate dry food with tea, so they couldn't go hungry when they were in a hurry.

Li Hao had just finished eating a dry food, and suddenly saw two guests at a table in the north staring at him, and these two guests did not seem to be Han, but they were wearing Han clothes, and there was a big birdcage next to the tea table, in which was a hen-sized Hai Dongqing.

These two people gave Li Hao a very uncomfortable feeling, and Li Hao whispered to Xue Rengui and Situ Feng: "Hurry up and eat, and leave after eating." ”

"Hmm." The two nodded, desperately stuffing dry food, especially Xue Rengui, who had a relatively large amount of food, and he didn't feel good if he didn't eat five dry food at a meal.

The two guests on the north table suddenly opened the birdcage and released Hai Dongqing inside, Hai Dongqing flapped his wings after he came out, startling the surrounding tea guests, but Hai Dongqing did not attack them, but flew into the sky and circled, everyone was no longer frightened when they saw this, and continued to drink tea.

Li Hao looked up at Hai Dongqing hovering in the sky, and gradually frowned, he remembered one thing, that is, the Tubo people are good at falconry, they can not only use falcons to hunt, but also use eagles to convey messages, this Hai Dongqing is abundant in Liaodong and the snowy plateau, also known as the spear falcon, an absolute bird of prey, how can it appear here, he realized that something was not good, hurriedly lowered his head, and whispered: "Don't eat, the situation is not good, hurry up!" ”

Xue Rengui and Situ Feng were shocked when they heard this, they hurriedly stopped eating and drinking, and both got up, Li Hao threw a few copper coins on the table, and shouted: "Shop, settle the bill!" After saying that, he went to lead the horse and leave.
