"It's really hateful, this Li Xiuning is really hateful, does she still take me, the main general, this brother in her eyes!"

Knowing that Li Xiuning turned out to be Li Longji's face was pale, and he roared angrily in the big tent.

After a while, Li Longji calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and immediately went out of the account to find Chen Xuanli and ordered: "You immediately lead a group of soldiers and horses to recover Li Xiuning, if she is unfortunately ambushed by the Sui army, then you have to rescue her no matter what!" Remember, you can't let anything happen to her! ”

Chen Xuanli was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Your Highness, Princess Pingyang does not respect military orders, even if she encounters an ambush, she is unlucky, Your Highness can also take the opportunity to get rid of the dissidents in the army, why bother to pay for her own military horses?" ”

Li Longji shook his head and said: "Pingyang is the most beloved daughter of my father, and Pingyang made a lot of meritorious contributions when my father Taiyuan raised troops. Although Lone is also a prince, but he is a concubine, he is not valued by his father, if he lets his father know that Lone will not save Pingyang when he sees death, Lone will never have a future in this life! ”

"The Admiral understands!" Chen Xuanli is not stupid, he suddenly came to his senses when he heard Li Longji mention this, and immediately gave up.

After Chen Xuanli received the order, he immediately gathered the 5,000 armor soldiers under his command, bid farewell to Li Longji, left the camp, and chased after Li Xiuning.

。。。。。。。。。。

On the other hand, Li Xiuning led his subordinates all the way non-stop, trampling on the smoke and dust, and rushed to Nanzheng.

After a rapid march of nearly sixty miles, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the two Tang cavalrymen desperately spurred the war horses under their crotches and rushed from afar like a gallop.

"How can there be a Tang Army here?"

Li Xiuning couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this, and immediately stepped forward to drink the two: "Who are you?" Dismount quickly! ”

These two Tang cavalrymen were the messengers sent by Li Shiji to Li Longji's army, and they were originally from Chang'an, so they naturally knew this famous female general, so they immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, presented Li Shiji's letter with both hands, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the villain is a personal soldier under General Li Shiji, and now he is ordered to come to deliver the letter!" ”

"Li Shiji's letter?"

Li Xiuning immediately reached out and took the letter, opened the envelope, and browsed it at a glance, and immediately laughed loudly: "I said, why did the Sui army withdraw for no reason?" It turned out that General Li Shiji led the army to cut off their back road! ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess!" At this moment, the dust rose from the rear, and Chen Xuanli called eagerly, while galloping his horse, running over the crowd to Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning sneered and said, "What happened to General Chen?" ”

Chen Xuanli reined in the war horse, took two long breaths, and arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general is ordered by Her Royal Highness King Changguang to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to return to the camp, and please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess not to embarrass the last general." ”

Li Xiuning quietly handed over Li Shiji's letter, and said lightly: "General Chen, let's read this letter first!" ”

Chen Xuanli carefully took the letter, quickly scanned it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he stammered a little: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this... ”

Li Xiuning smiled slightly and said, "General Chen, this kind of fighter is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, do you still think I should go back with you?" ”

Chen Xuanli immediately frowned when he heard this, and fell into deep thought. He is Li Longji's confidant, and he can't understand Li Longji's thoughts.

The reason why Li Longji wanted to stop Li Xiuning's pursuit was completely because he did not seek merit but no fault, for fear that the Sui army would set up some ambush that would lead to the loss of troops and the loss of generals, which would affect his status in Li Yuan's mind.

But now, the reason for the sudden withdrawal of the Sui army is clear, it is because Li Shiji's surprise attack on Nanzheng cut off their back road, and if the Sui army does not retreat, it will be surrounded by the front and rear, and the whole army will be annihilated.

Just as Li Xiuning said, such a fighter plane is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if Li Yuan knows that Li Longji is afraid to miss such a fighter, he is afraid that it will inevitably cause Li Yuan's displeasure at that time.

No matter what Li Longji says, he is also Li Yuan's son, no matter what, Li Yuan will not do anything to him, and when the time comes, the accusation of cowardly avoiding the enemy and missing the fighter plane will fall on his head.

After thinking about it, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xuanli made a choice: "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is that the military orders outside the country will not be accepted, and Her Royal Highness the King of Changguang asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to return to the army because she was worried that the Sui army would have an ambush, and now that everything is clear, this military order of Her Royal Highness is a little too conservative." ”

"In that case, is General Chen willing to go with me to hunt down the Sui army? I believe that as long as the general can achieve a great victory and return with the heads of the two thieves, Long Zhi and Li Yu, the imperial brother will not care about your current disobedience. Li Xiuning smiled at Chen Xuanli, and then waved his horsewhip and galloped out, leaving only a clear order: "Order the whole army to immediately turn to Xicheng!" ”

Chen Xuanli gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and waved at the subordinates behind him and said, "The whole army keeps up with the princess!" ”
