Everyone could see Li Neng's determination. They knew in their hearts that as long as Li Neng had the final say in this battle, it would definitely be impossible for even an inch of the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the people of Nanzhao or Tubo.

In such a situation in the Tang Dynasty, this is indeed very difficult. Moreover, the emperors and generals of the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of fighting with the Tubo people before. When they saw that things were not good, I would now enthrone a princess to marry you to express my importance to you, at least to stabilize you for a few years before talking about it.

However, Li Qing expressed his views to several people under his command early in the morning.

In Li's words, Tubo could only be a tribe crawling under the Tang Dynasty, and there was no difference in his eyes from the Tongluo tribe and the Pugu tribe.

When he returns to Chang'an City, he will advise Li Heng and Li Yu to cancel any marriage to Tubo in the future. Whether it is the real princess of the Tang Dynasty or the now-cancelled princess, even if he marrys the people of the Tang Dynasty, he will never marry to Tubo in exchange for peace!

Moreover, Li Jue had long expressed his views on tribes like Tubo, Nanzhao and Uighurs.

For such a tribe, it is basically impossible to exchange for peace with your mouth or some reward, and such peace cannot last forever.

If you want real peace, you have to completely defeat them or completely erase them from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty. Only this method is a one-time and for all method for the Tang Dynasty.

On the third day after receiving the letter from Li Heng, Li Heng took his five confidants, Zhang Mingyue, and a full 40,000 troops from Youzhou and rushed to Chang'an City.

At the same time, Luo Feng, the King of Nanzhao, led his army of 100,000 to Nanzhao and headed straight to the southern part of Jiannan Road. In Kunlun Town, at the junction of Jiannan Road and Nanzhao, Cui Yuan had already been waiting there with a team of men. They had already agreed and headed directly to Yaozhou, an important town in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, after arriving at Kunlun Town.

As long as Yaozhou is captured, you can head north along the border between Tubo and Jiannan Road. Along the way, the King of Nanzhao knew how rich his gains would be.

"Hmph! The Tubo Chisong Dezan has made a good plan and asked me to wipe out the defenders of Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road, and then he will attack the Tang Dynasty in large numbers. Isn't this his eating meat, and we, Nanzhao, drink soup?"

When he was about to set off, Luo Feng, the King of Nanzhao, was still complaining about the cunning of the Tubo people to his generals.

Indeed, he had been in Nanzhao for a while, but Tubo's strength was unaffordable, so although Tubo's behavior had regarded Nanzhao as his own vassal state, the King of Nanzhao was also very angry about this, but he obviously had no capital to resist.

Besides, Tubo can still get some benefits from it, so the King of Nanzhao could only tolerate it, but he just complained to his confidants in private.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Hexi is very large. The Tubo people thought about taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's illness to kill the Tang Dynasty, but it depends on whether they have the strength to survive. They asked us to attack Jiannan Road first. In fact, it was just to attract the main army of the Tang Dynasty. In my opinion, the king really didn't have to be so anxious. Since Cui Yuan was already waiting in Kunlun Town and Yizhou had no plans to send troops, wasn't there a Li Guangbi with tens of thousands of troops in front of us?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

When Luo Feng, the King of Nanzhao, heard that he had obviously had something to say, he asked quickly.

"We can take Yaozhou first. In my opinion, the troops in Yizhou will not move. Then we will sit in Yaozhou. Li Guangbi probably has arrived. We can guard Yaozhou and deal with Li Guangbi. We can't fight with him with real swords and guns. If that happens, we will be really a gunman by the Tubo people!"

The words of this general gave Ge Luofeng a sudden idea. If he really did this, he would basically be able to do what Tubo leader Chi Song Dezan asked him to do. Moreover, he would not take much effort to deal with Li Guangbi as long as he defended Yaozhou.

When the Tubo people couldn't hold back, they would naturally send troops. As for them, after the Tubo people started a war with the Tang Dynasty, they could naturally withdraw gradually.

"Okay! Just do it! Two days later, we will send troops to Kunlun Town. As long as we can seize Yaozhou before Li Guangbi's troops arrive, the initiative will be in our hands!"

Neither Li nor Chang'an City knew about the changes in the south. Li Qing was trying his best to rush to Chang'an City, while Li Heng and Li Yu were eagerly waiting for Li Qing's arrival.

Looking forward to the moon, Li N's army finally arrived outside the city of Chang'an City in a dusty manner. After Zhang Xun and others placed the army in the military camp, Li N's horse led Zhang Mingyue to the city gate.

Li Heng did not personally go to the city gate to greet him. Li Wen also understood that once his old father did this, he would give people the feeling that only Li Wen could save the Tang Dynasty. This was obviously not the feeling that Li Heng wanted to cause, both internally and externally.

However, Li Yu, as the crown prince, appeared in person at the city gate and greeted his third brother with a smile on his face.

"Li Neng has met the prince!"

Li Yu saw Li Yu from afar, and dismounted and gave a deep tribute. Seeing this, Li Yu turned over and dismounted and returned the tribute. Then he grabbed Li Yu's hands. Although he didn't say much, he fully showed his importance to Li Yu.

Because it was already noon after Li Yong arrived in Chang'an City and it was about to get dark, Li Yu hesitated for a moment and directly asked Li Yong to return home to rest, and told Li Yong that he might be summoned by Li Heng tomorrow morning.

In another day, the two brothers may have to set off. It is precisely because time is too tight that Li Yu had long suggested that Li Heng cancel the welcoming banquet for Li Yong. In order to make Li Yong have a good state, he spent all his time to let him rest for a day in the mansion.

Li Yi was quite grateful for Li Yu's approach. If he really gave him a welcome banquet in the middle of the night, it would definitely not work if he didn't go, but when he went there, it would have really delayed his precious rest time.

"The prince must have a good rest. I'm afraid there will be no smooth road along the way to Jiannan Road!"

Li Yu also reminded Li Yu, and then went back to the Jianning Palace, which he had not been back for a long time. Like the soldiers outside the city, he had long been exhausted.
