As soon as Li Chengqian's army set off from Baiquan County, someone hurriedly whipped up to deliver a message to Liu Lan, who was far away in Dejing County.

The Xiazhou Governor's Mansion was originally set up in Shuofang County, and Liu Lan's forces were mainly in Shuofang County.

But before Qiu Xinggong wiped out the Po Chao clan who secretly supported Liu Lan in Shuofang County, Liu Lan's foundation in Shuofang completely collapsed.

Later, Li Chengqian sent people to follow his method of dealing with the Yeli clan and concocted the Pochao clan in the same way.

The desperate Liu Lan received an invitation from the Haoqiang Mi Capture Clan and the Po Chao Clan in Dejing County at this time, and Liu Lan led the remnants of his troops to flee to Dejing County.

Dejing County is a county directly under the jurisdiction of the Xia Prefecture Governor's Office, because the geographical location is not important, the Tang Dynasty did not garrison troops in Dejing County, nor did it send officials, and the county order of Dejing County was the first order of the Mi Bao clan.

As soon as Liu Lan arrived in Dejing County, Mibao Duoge sent someone to Qiu Xinggong for help, trying to destroy the Tang army in one fell swoop when Qiu Xinggong sent troops.

However, Li Chengqian believed that Shuofang County should be stabilized first and someone should be sent to take over the governance of Shuofang County.

Qiu Xinggong naturally wanted to stay in Shuofang County to cooperate with Li Chengqian's governance, and as for how Liu Lan cleaned up the rice and captured Duoge, Qiu Xinggong didn't care at all.

In this way, Qiu Xinggong's counterinsurgency formed a stalemate.

……

……

In Dejing County, which is composed of grass houses, the north wind is howling and the dust is flying.

The sky was overcast, and it was only after noon that it made people feel that it was going to be dark, and there was not even a person on the streets of Dejing County, just like a ghost domain.

In the humble county government of Dejing County.

There was a large pot of red charcoal fire in the hall, and four people sat around the brazier, each holding a leather bag containing mare's milk wine.

They were Liu Lan and his No. 1 general, Yeli Haojie, as well as the two clan leaders of the Dang Xiangqiang in Dejing County, Mi Bao Duoge and quite Chaoyue, and several people were discussing how to deal with Li Chengqian.

Yeli Haojie, who was sitting in the south, glanced at Mi Bao Duoge, who was sitting opposite him, and was angry. I saw Mi Bao Duoge leaning on the back of the chair, looking up with a bearded face, with an indifferent expression in his eyes, as if he was the best in the world.

Yeli Haojie poured a big sip of wine, and said with red eyes: "What bullshit prince, when I come back here, I must be captured alive and ......."

Yeli Haojie has always been brave and brave, and he likes to fight fiercely with the strong, and he is the most powerful general under Liu Lan.

It's just that Li Chengqian extinguished Yeli's stockade, and Yeli Haojie has no foundation behind him, and the other three people don't think much of Yelihao's words, which makes him very angry.

In addition, he hated Li Chengqian for destroying his family, so after drinking two sips of wine, he began to constantly insult Li Chengqian.

Mi Bao Duoge was impatient when he heard this, raised his right hand and shook it gently, then turned his head slightly to Liu Lan, who was sitting on his right hand, and said condescendingly: "Dejing County is seven or eight hundred miles away from Baiquan County, how can that kid Li Chengqian have to walk for more than twenty days to get here."

We still follow the original method of dealing with Qiu Xinggong, and I will write them a letter asking for help, promising them to cooperate with them inside and outside, and lead them into a trap......"

This is a very good plan he came up with, and he didn't use it last time, and he planned to use it on Li Chengqian as it was.

"This method has not been used, don't say whether Li Chengqian will be fooled?

Even if Li Chengqian is on us, we may not be able to capture him alive.

But if he invites the Heavenly Khan to send a large army to suppress the border, we will only have a dead end. ”

Speak is quite transcendent.

The Po Chao clan in Dejing County and the Po Chao clan in Shuofang County are considered to be the same clan, but he has no feeling that the Po Chao clan in Shuofang County has been destroyed, and the reason why he is now with Liu Lan is only because he was coerced by the Mi Bao clan.

"Otherwise, let's pack up our things and flee to Yin Mountain in the northwest!" Liu Lan said with a sad face.

Liu Lan, as a general of the Tang Dynasty, had no intention of rebelling, but he was too proud to be the emperor of the soil in Xiazhou, and accidentally made some small mistakes, because he was afraid of being killed by Li Shimin, so he colluded with the local heroes to rebel.

Later, when Qiu Xinggong led his troops to quell the rebellion, he had the idea of fleeing to the north of Yinshan, but at that time, the Yeli clan and the Pochao clan of Shuofang County did not agree, and when he came to Dejing County, he wanted to escape, and the Mi Bao clan did not agree.

It is impossible for tens of thousands of people in a powerful family in these places to follow him to Yinshan, and if no one follows, they will only flee to Yinshan to deliver food to horse thieves.

Seeing that Liu Lan was so timid, Mi Bao Duoge showed a smug smile on his face when he heard this, and waved his hand to Liu Lan: "Do you think the old man asked you to come just to find death?"

I might as well tell you today that the old man had a plan before recruiting you.

As long as we can catch this Li Chengqian, we will naturally be able to make him bow his head, not only forgive your sins, but also reinstate you as an official. ”

Hearing this, Liu Lan hurriedly said with a smile: "The leader of Mi Bao is resourceful, I don't know how to plan it?"

"Hmph, hum, ......" Mi Bao Duoge just looked at Liu Lan and smiled, and only said when he saw that Liu Lan's face was flushed: "If Li Chengqian, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, is captured by us, can Tian Khan still pass on the Tang Dynasty to him?"

Liu Lan is also a person who has been an official in the Tang Dynasty in the end, and Mi Duoge immediately understood that as long as he can capture Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian will have to give him whatever he wants, otherwise this matter will be transmitted back to Chang'an Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince and even his net worth may not be saved.

Several people figured out this joint, and their hearts immediately relaxed, and they were bent on designing to capture Li Chengqian in exchange for glory and wealth.

----------------

Dejing County is 700 miles northeast of Baiquan County, and according to the normal pace of marching, Li Chengqian would have taken about 25 days, but if it rains or snows on a cloudy day, it cannot be determined.

Li Chengqian's luck was very good, there was no cloudy rain along the way, and the soldiers who had been trained by the East Palace could march fifty miles a day.

In this way, it only took Li Chengqian half a month to reach the edge of Dejing County.

When he arrived here, it was naturally impossible to lead a large army to crash into it, so Li Chengqian had already ordered to find a hidden place to set up camp and listen to the enemy's situation.

After Su Dingfang personally visited, he ordered to set up camp in a place where the wind and the sun were shining, Li Chengqian got out of the car and looked up at the clouds in the sky, turned his head to Wang Qun and said, "Find some old people nearby and ask if it's going to snow?"

Hearing this, Wang Qun hurriedly said with a smile: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers on the road have already sent someone to ask, and the people along the way have said that it will snow in the past few days." ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and became more and more satisfied with this Wang Qun, and after training along the way, he was stunned to train a gentleman who didn't know anything and didn't know how to do it into a qualified spy leader.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw the soldiers who were building the camp and hurriedly said to Wang Qun: "Go and tell General Su that you should pay attention to keeping warm when building the camp." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qun hurriedly turned around and twisted his strong waist and ran towards Su Dingfang.

In the next few days, Wang Qun sent several groups of spies to infiltrate the county seat of Dejing and the surrounding area of the Mi Bao clan to investigate the military situation, and soon understood the situation of Liu Lan and Dejing County clearly.

On this day, after noon, the sky was falling with snowflakes.

Li Chengqian recruited all the generals into the tent of the Chinese army, showed the information collected by Wang Qun to everyone, and asked the generals to discuss and work out a strategy for marching.

When everyone was discussing, someone outside the tent suddenly added: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, Dejing County, the county order of Mi Duoge to send someone to ask for help." ”
