Three days later, Li Chengqian got into a carriage and left Wantong City under the escort of the six rates of the East Palace, as well as Liu Lan and others. 35xs

It's much more comfortable to make a carriage than to ride a horse!

In order to ensure the safety of the prince along the way, Song Junming also selected 10,000 elite soldiers to escort the prince back to Chang'an.

It wasn't until they could no longer see the prince's car that Liu Lan and the others returned to Wantong City.

This time they were finally relieved, and as soon as the prince left, the next thing they had to deal with was Xue Yantuo.

"Stop!" Leaving Wantong City and leaving the territory of Xiazhou, Li Chengqian's large army stopped and did not continue to advance.

The other general sent by Song Junming to escort the prince's return to Beijing rode a horse to the side of the prince's chariot and asked, "Your Highness!" How suddenly stopped! We have just left Xiazhou, and we are still within the attack range of Xue Yantuo's army. ”

"It's still a dangerous area, so it's better to hurry up and stay when you get to a safe place."

"This place is far away from Chang'an, so let's hurry up!"

Don't find that since leaving Wantong City, they have deviated from their original route, and now that the prince has suddenly stopped, he has a bad premonition in his heart.

"No, we won't go back to Chang'an this time, and the widow has decided to send troops to eliminate Xue Yantuo." Li Chengqian's voice came from inside the carriage.

This scared Don Jiang half to death, and he received an order to escort the prince back to Chang'an safely. Flash Dance

If he didn't do it, even if the prince had a loss of a hair, he couldn't afford it.

Now the crown prince actually wants to run to fight Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army, why?

It is not enough to rely on their little strength to stuff Xue Yantuo's teeth, and even self-protection is a problem, so what can be done to destroy them.

At this moment, don't think that Li Chengqian is really whimsical.

"Your Highness! Forgive the end of the general, with our strength, let alone destroy Xue Yantuo, even if we don't have the strength to fight with Xue Yantuo. ”

"Your Highness still don't want to delay here, it's better to leave for Beijing sooner, Your Highness has a body of ten thousand gold, why risk your life." Don't be persuaded with bitter words.

He didn't want the prince to be hot-headed, and he really took this person and killed Xue Yantuo with a roar, isn't this a thousand miles to send heads to the enemy!

"Destroying Xue Yantuo is a top priority, and the widow has decided that there is no reason to change it, and he will set off immediately." Li Chengqian's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Your Highness! I will not be able to carry out His Highness's orders! "Don't let Li Chengqian mess around.

"You can't help this! Take it for the widow! Li Chengqian's voice came again, and there was a slight anger in his tone.

Without waiting for the other general to speak, Xue Wanche on the side had already made a move, and he would take down the other general with one move.

Don't bring the guards at a loss, watching their commander being taken down, but they can't do it at will.

After all, the other party is not an enemy, and it is still their prince sitting in the carriage.

The guards looked at each other, and they all fell silent, without any commotion about not being captured.

Li Chengqian had expected this for a long time, and he should implement his plan before he was captured.

"Let's go, in the direction of Xue Yantuo's station." Li Chengqian said.

The carriage turned around and headed in another direction, and after Li Chengqian walked another distance with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he stopped again.

"Wan Che, you take someone to find a suitable place to set up camp, and we will spend the night here tonight." Li Chengqian walked out of the carriage and said to Xue Wanche.

"No!" Xue Wanche took the order and ordered a few people to find a suitable campsite.

As a generation of famous generals who have fought many tough battles, no one here knows better than Xue Wanche what is the best place to camp.

The encampment of the army is not just a matter of finding a random place, but there is a lot of knowledge in it.

"Your Highness! Three miles away from here, there is a place suitable for our army to camp. Xue Wanche came back to report to Li Chengqian.

"Then set sail there and set up camp!" Li Chengqian said, got into the carriage, and began to head towards the place Xue Wanche was looking for.

"Let's go!" Xue Wanche waved his hand, rode his horse and walked in front to lead the way, and the army escorted Li Chengqian's carriage to the camp.

After setting up camp, Li Chengqian summoned Xue Wanche, Cheng Wuting, Pei Xingjian, Qiu Shenxian, Wang Fangyi and other military attaches of the East Palace to the Chinese army's tent to hold a military meeting.

Even the newcomer who had just been recruited into the East Palace by Li Chengqian, Xi Junmai, was fortunate to attend this important military meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our goal this time is to eliminate Xue Yantuo, but the current strength in our hands is far from enough."

"Therefore, we must bring the armies of Xiazhou, Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou over, so that we can have enough troops to destroy Xue Yantuo."

"At the same time, we also have to bring back the Falcon, Servant Bone, Tongluo and other clans to surround Xue Yantuo's army with the Tang army, so as to annihilate them in one fell swoop." Li Chengqian spoke eloquently.

This is Li Chengqian's idea and preliminary plan.

Xi Junmai was shocked by the prince's bold idea!

He Xi Junmai has been in the army for many years, and he has never seen anyone have such a big idea, which is a matter of affecting the whole body.

If there is the slightest mistake, it will be a doom.

"Your Highness! How should we bring the soldiers and horses of Xiazhou, Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou to come, will they go out without His Majesty's edict? An East Palace military general questioned.

This is not only a question in his heart, but also a question in everyone's heart, even Xi Junmai nodded subconsciously.

He didn't believe that the crown prince could let the generals guarding these states disobey the emperor's order to send troops to attack Xue Yantuo.

It's not that it can't be done, it's simply not possible.

"If the widow is besieged by Xue Yantuo's army, do you say that the army in Xiazhou will come to the rescue?"

"Will the Governor of Song and the Governor of Liu still sit idly by and let the widows be besieged by Xue Yantuo's army?"

"If Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou receive a letter of help from Xiazhou, will they send troops to save them?" Li Chengqian said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

The prince is risking his life and using himself as bait, not only to lure the enemy, but also to lure his own people to come to the rescue.

Li Chengqian's current consideration is not to lure Song Junming and others to bring troops to rescue, but to consider whether he can hold out until they arrive.

Now the key is to defend, and the most important thing is to stay on the sidelines.

"Your Highness! The minister opposes this move, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, how can His Royal Highness, as the capital of the country, risk his life? Please think twice, Your Highness! Pei Xingjian was the first to stand up against Li Chengqian's use of such a risky way.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for using the prince as a bait to lure the enemy, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty did not, even in the previous dynasties, there has never been such a ridiculous thing.
