Chapter 501: Born to be a hero
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't-"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Shangguan Yi, Cheng Wuting, and Liu Kui exclaimed almost simultaneously, looking at Li Chengqian with anxious expressions.
Li Chengqian glanced at the three of them and said calmly: "If you are afraid, you can go to the Yalu Water Camp to report the news for the Lone King." β
Cheng Wuting's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this, and he said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can stay and fight the Turks to the end, but you can't stay." β
Li Chengqian glanced at them, and walked out, he knew that there was no point in arguing with them at this time.
"His Royal Highness the Princeβ" The three of them hurriedly followed.
Li Chengqian walked all the way to the large camp not far away, and found that the soldiers had already assembled, and on one side were the 2,000 soldiers who had already put on their helmets and were ready to escort him to the Yalushui camp.
On one side were the soldiers who were still recuperating from their wounds on their bodies, heads, and gauze, and only a few of them could stand up on crutches, and most of them were either sitting on the ground or lying on the door panel.
At this time, they all looked at Li Chengqian, but their expressions were very numb.
Obviously, Cheng Wuting and Shangguan Yi had already told them about it, and these people also knew their fate.
Li Chengqian's heart ached, and he walked directly towards them.
When the wounded soldiers saw Li Chengqian coming, their faces showed some excited looks, and two soldiers with crutches hurriedly moved forward a little and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, hurry up, don't forget to avenge us!" β
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't forget to avenge us!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices were full of tragedy.
Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, nodded at everyone and said, "You go back to the camp first to recuperate, and the matter of retreating from the enemy will be done by the Lone King." β
The wounded soldiers looked at each other one by one and did not understand what Li Chengqian meant.
Li Chengqian looked at him and said sincerely: "You are here to protect your family and defend the country, and you followed King Gu to come here, and in the battle to capture Fuyu City, you fought bloodily and were seriously injured, and you are the people who have made great contributions to the imperial court."
You are the elite of my Datang Dynasty, and you can win in the face of any enemy, but now you are injured and can't fight.
So now you must go back first, hand over the battlefield to the Lone King, and let the Lone King protect you. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you not leaving?" A young wounded soldier asked with a look of hope.
Li Chengqian looked at him and smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly: "Fuyu City belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and King Lone, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, has the responsibility of guarding the land and cannot escape." β
"Ahh When the young wounded soldier heard this, a smile appeared on his face at first, but then he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't stay, if Buyeo City is attacked by the Turks, you will be in danger-"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, go quickly, don't hurt you because of us."
"Yes! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please go quickly......"
"We're ....... to be dead"
"The Turkic dogs are all defeated by our Datang's subordinates, as long as they dare to enter the city, we will fight with them."
"If the Turkic dog hurts His Royal Highness the Prince, we will die!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Li Chengqian looked at these wounded soldiers and thought about himself, with tears in his eyes, he shook his head with a firm expression and said: "It is the incompetence of the lonely king that has affected you, because the lonely king cannot let his son be killed and arrested."
Because the lone king is incompetent, he has not deployed military affairs well, so that you are in danger.
The lonely king failed to protect his son, and if he still forsaken you, would the lonely king still stand in the world? β
I don't know when, Li Chengqian has burst into tears, and at this moment, Li Chengqian completely lost his detachment as a traverser and became a real Tang Dynastyman. There is his family, there are soldiers who follow him, and thousands of people who have pinned their hopes on him.
He was sad for the death of his relatives, and he worked hard for the soldiers, and there was no trace of detachment.
"His Royal Highness the Prince......" When the wounded soldiers heard Li Chengqian compare them with the emperor and grandson, they were also moved to tears, and they only hated that they were injured, otherwise they would now step on the war horse and find the Turks desperately.
Li Chengqian had tears on his face, smiled, and raised his hand to everyone: "You go back to your injuries first." β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take off!" Shangguan Yi said loudly, he felt that Li Chengqian's drama was done enough and he could go.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take off!" Cheng Wuting and Liu Kui eagerly said that they were really worried about being caught up by the Turks.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take off!" The soldiers with 2,000 helmets and armor said sadly, they gritted their teeth in their hearts, and only hoped that one day Li Chengqian would lead them to destroy the Turkic Helu tribe and avenge their brotherhood that they had given up today.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take off!" Six thousand wounded soldiers wiped away their tears and said with pride.
Li Chengqian turned around and saw that everyone who could hold his fist saluted him with his fist, and his chest was full of pride.
Lang Sheng chanted: "Life should be a hero, and death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. β
Shangguan Yi was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you have such reckless thoughts? β
Li Chengqian ignored him and limped towards the big tent in the camp.
Cheng Wuting and the others hurriedly followed.
Li Chengqian walked into the big tent, sat down firmly on the main seat, looked at Cheng Wuting and Shangguan Yi who looked anxious in front of him, and shouted: "Raise the tent!" β
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two of them reflexively bowed.
Li Chengqian nodded, looked at Cheng Wuting and said, "Can you send someone out for help?"
"The last general has already sent people to Yalu Water to deliver the letter, and he has also been sent to chase the Khitan and Xi people."
"Good! The lonely king wrote a few more letters, and sent them later. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Princeβ"
Shangguan Yi still has to persuade.
Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him and said: "Shangguan Qing's family doesn't need to persuade again, if King Gu gives up these 6,000 wounded soldiers, the outcome of Chang'an City is unpredictable." Even if Helu invades Buyeo City, he may not dare to hurt a single hair of the Lone King. β
Li Chengqian went on to analyze: "The Khitan and Xi tribes have only been away for two days, and the march of the grain they have received from the Lone King must be slow, and when we get the news, the vanguard army will definitely be able to come back and forth to aid Fuyu City within half a day, and we only need to hold Fuyu City for one day." β
After Li Chengqian said that, he began to bow his head and write a letter.
------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Li Chengqian entered the big tent, he never went out, but only sent a few messengers and flying pigeons to deliver letters.
Although they were very moved by Li Chengqian's refusal, they never thought of implicating Li Chengqian.
They thought that Shangguanyi and the others would definitely be able to persuade Li Chengqian to leave, but now that the Turks are coming, Li Chengqian has no intention of driving.
"You can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in Buyeo City!" Someone started to make a noise.
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so honorable that we can't risk our cheap lives."
"Hurry up and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drive to Yalu Water."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Everyone moved to the door of the big tent one after another, and was about to invite Li Chengqian to come out, when they saw Cheng Wuting walking out of the big tent with a calm face.
"His Royal Highness General Cheng is about to take off?"
A lieutenant asked hurriedly.
Cheng Wuting shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to defend the city." β
