I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

However, he dared only bury these thoughts deep in his heart and dared not reveal them at all. His respect for Li Shimin prevented him from having any thoughts of usurping power.

When it comes to fighting wars, Li Shimin has an innate confidence and composure.

He fought countless battles in his life and created countless glories on the battlefield.

In his view, war is like a game of chess, and he is the chess player who controls the overall situation.

He had absolute confidence in his military talents and the fighting power of his soldiers.

Now, he heard that the Tang Dynasty was fighting on two fronts, but he was not worried.

Because he knew that the general who would lead the expedition against Tubo was Li Jing, a man with outstanding military talent.

He highly recognized Li Jing's military wisdom and command ability, so he firmly believed that Li Jing could lead the army to victory.

He was even imagining that when Li Jing came back, he would share these interesting things with him and then take him to enjoy this leisurely time together.

In Li Shimin's heart, he had the reputation of "Heavenly Khan", which he earned through countless victories and outstanding leadership.

In this vast land, which enemy would dare to easily go against him and the Tang Dynasty?

He was intoxicated with his own great achievements, and felt more and more that it didn't matter if he was not the emperor. Without that old Wei Zheng, he felt extremely free and happy.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere and enjoying the relaxing moment after the victory, a sudden piece of news broke the tranquility.

A Jinyiwei hurried into the tent, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly, "General, Commander Qin! His Majesty has ordered us Jinyiwei to return to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

The sound was like a sudden thunderclap, instantly stopping the laughter in the tent.

When Qin Biwu heard this, the wine glass in his hand stopped in mid-air, then he slowly put it down and stood up suddenly. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious and nervous look. He asked loudly: "What happened?"

Li Shimin and Yuchi Jingde also stopped what they were doing, put down their wine glasses, and looked at the Jinyiwei, their eyes full of confusion and worry.

"Commander Qin, the visitor is a small flag officer from the Northern Pacification Division. He has come with His Majesty's decree, stating that he can only speak to them after seeing Commander Qin."

Qin Biwu frowned, nodded, and said loudly: "Then please invite them in!"

"Yes! Commander Qin!"

After a while, a dusty young flag officer walked quickly in from outside the tent.

His face was full of fatigue from the journey, but his eyes were very determined.

As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt respectfully on the ground, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "Jin Yichuan, the flag officer of the Northern Pacification Division, greets the general, greets all the generals, and greets Commander Qin!"

Qin Biwu glanced at Li Shimin and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he asked, "What is your Majesty's order?"

"Commander Qin! The epidemic is raging in the Tang Dynasty, and the situation is extremely critical."

"Your Majesty has already dispatched all the Imperial Guards to provide disaster relief."

"The reason this epidemic has developed to such a serious level is because local officials concealed the facts and failed to report them, which led to the rapid spread of the epidemic and made it difficult to control."

"Your Majesty is in urgent need of manpower to handle this crisis. Commander Qin, please lead your men back to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

Jin Yichuan said anxiously, his voice trembling slightly due to anxiety, which showed the seriousness of the matter.

Qin Biwu was shocked when he heard this, as he knew very well that the harm of the epidemic should not be underestimated.

He didn't dare to delay even a little and immediately said, "Got it. I'll assemble the team and set off right away!"

When Qin Biwu wanted to go out with the small flag officer, Li Shimin called him.

"Who's that from the Northern Pacification Division? Wait a minute!"

The flag officer turned around and bowed respectfully, "General, Jin Yichuan!"
