Chapter 193: The Prince's Analysis
"His Highness's analysis is very reasonable, but these are His Highness's personal speculations, and it does not prove that this is not a conspiracy."
"For the sake of safety, the minister thinks that it is better to stick to the city, and it is not advisable to go aggressively." Obsessed with the power of thought.
He has been dealing with Xue Yantuo for so many years, what kind of level is the other party.
Who else knows better than he is.
The prince grew up in the deep palace, and it is reasonable to say that he doesn't know Xue Yantuo, and it is nothing to talk about it.
It is impossible for them to believe what the prince said, where does he know about the battlefield.
"It's good! The widow is a little tired! Now that the enemy has withdrawn, we don't have to stay here forever, let's go back to the Governor's Palace! Li Chengqian said.
He knew that these veterans wouldn't believe him, but it didn't matter, anyway, he had already ordered Xue Wanche to set up an ambush on the way of Xue Yantuo's army retreating.
When the time comes, it will definitely be able to hit the Bazhuo army hard, and Xue Wanche is one of the world's famous generals that Li Er personally said.
Let him ambush the repelled Bazhuo army, Li Chengqian is naturally relieved, and now he just needs to wait for Xue Wanche's good news.
Seeing that Li Chengqian did not mess around in this matter, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly escorted Li Chengqian back to the Governor's Mansion.
I'm afraid that Li Chengqian will make some more moths, for the sake of safety!
Even Zhi Sili personally joined the escort team and escorted the prince back to the governor's mansion to rest. 35xs
Now, in addition to holding on to Wantong City, they are persuading the prince to return to Chang'an, which is the emperor's intention.
As for taking the opportunity to go out of the city to fight Bazhuo, they could only defend without further instructions from the emperor.
After all, they didn't know what the imperial court's attitude towards Xue Yantuo was, and they didn't know.
If the imperial court intended to attack the Xue Yantuo Khanate, they would naturally not let go of a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
If the imperial court only wanted to warn Xue Yantuo, they would naturally not have much trouble to fight Xue Yantuo.
Therefore, whether to beat Xue Yantuo or not, it depends on the above meaning.
These are not what they should consider as courtiers, and as courtiers, they should share their worries for the emperor.
For example, persuading the prince to return to Beijing! That's the number one thing they should do now.
Li Chengqian didn't hear the persuasion of these guys, and still stayed in Wantong City, Xiazhou.
As soon as he returned to the Governor's Mansion, Li Chengqian drove out the stubborn thinking force, so as not to make these people noisy.
Not long after they drove away Zhi Sili and the others, someone came to report.
"Your Highness! General Xue Wanche ordered someone to send good news! ”
"Oh!" Li Chengqian is overjoyed!
"Hurry up and bring it, the widow will take a look!"
Li Chengqian secretly said in his heart: This Xue Wanche is not a famous general who is praised even by Li Er, how long has it been, and the good news has been transmitted so soon!
The person hurriedly handed Xue Wanche's good news to Li Chengqian.
Wang Quan stepped forward to take it, turned around and handed it to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian hurriedly opened it and quickly read the good news sent by Xue Wanche.
"Your Highness! What did Xue Wanche say? Wang Fangyi asked.
"Yes! Your Highness! Can the ambush go well? Cheng Wuting asked.
"This ambush went unusually well! He almost killed Bazhuo, if it weren't for Bazhuo's own soldiers and horses desperately escorting him to evacuate, he would have been a cold corpse by now. Li Chengqian said.
Wang Fangyi and the others were overjoyed when they heard this! They also didn't expect Xue Wanche to be so powerful, with only a few thousand cavalry, he could surprise the Bazhuo army and achieve victory.
You must know that it is tens of thousands of troops, even if tens of thousands of pigs are killed by Xue Wanche, it is not so fast.
"General Xue is really powerful! If it were me, I might not be as powerful as General Xue. Wang Fangyi said.
Cheng Wuting is the same, he feels that if he is replaced by himself, he may not be able to do what Xue Wanche is.
"It seems that the end of Xue Yantuo is coming, Bazhuo is so unpopular, now is a good time to eliminate Xue Yantuo." Li Chengqian said.
"Why did Your Highness say that?" Cheng Wuting wondered.
Although Bazhuo suffered a loss in this southward journey, Xue Yantuo still had a strong army, and with the soldiers and horses of various tribes in Mobei, he had to have more than 300,000 troops.
This is a force that should not be underestimated, how can it be so easy for Datang to eliminate Xue Yantuo.
What's more, now that the emperor is on an expedition to Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty has the strength to destroy Xue Yantuo, and no one dares to act rashly if the emperor is not there.
"This time Xue Wanche raided Bazhuo, all the soldiers and horses of Bazhuo were fighting desperately, and the soldiers and horses of other tribes not only did not rescue Bazhuo, but also watched from the wall."
"If it weren't for the fact that Bazhuo had already lost the hearts of the people, how could they let Xue Wanche raid Bazhuo and treat it as if they didn't see it!" Li Chengqian said.
The two of them suddenly realized!
Even so, they didn't think they could destroy Xue Yantuo now.
Whether you can destroy Xue Yantuo or not depends on the above meaning.
Even if the crown prince has the idea of eliminating Xue Yantuo, it may not be useful, after all, the prince is still only the prince, and he is not the emperor after all.
Such a big matter as destroying the enemy country depends on the emperor's intentions, and it is not something that a prince can decide.
"Your Highness! Although Xue Yantuo is a hidden danger on the border of our Tang Dynasty, if we want to eliminate them, we may not be able to do it alone. ”
"Although Your Majesty ordered the Tang Dynasty soldiers to defend the area around the Great Wall, without Your Majesty's will, they will not send troops to Mobei."
"With our strength alone, how can we do the matter of destroying Xue Yantuo." Wang Fangyi said.
Although he was very eager to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions, with the current strength of the crown prince alone, he couldn't fight against Xue Yantuo at all, let alone destroy the other party!
"You don't have to worry about this, Bazhuo is now losing people's hearts, and the tribes of Mobei will inevitably be owned by my Datang, among which the Uighurs have long been thinking of replacing them."
"It's just that over the years, the imperial court's attitude towards Xue Yantuo has mostly been appeased, which makes the Uighurs dare not have other thoughts."
"Now, if my Tang Dynasty wants to attack Xue Yantuo, the Uighurs will inevitably be the first to respond, and the tribes are definitely not soft on each other."
"This time I will definitely die! Xue Yantuo will definitely die! Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian was not worried at all about this, in order to resist Xue Yantuo's growth, the Tang Dynasty except for letting Li Simo go back to Mobei to collect the Turks.
He also secretly supported the Uighurs and other tribes, making these tribes grow stronger and restraining Xue Yantuo.
These Yi Nan naturally saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, although they were very resentful in their hearts, they still had to pretend that they didn't know anything on the surface.
"Your Highness! Although Bazhuo is unpopular, we don't know what the court's attitude towards Xue Yantuo is, and if we go rashly, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate. Cheng Wu said.
Xue Yantuo is not the key, the key is the intention of the court and the emperor, if there is no intention to eliminate Xue Yantuo, but continue to be soft and gentle.
Even if they wanted to send troops to Xue Yantuo, it would be impossible.
