The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 436
"Your Highness, the Emperor has captured Hezui Rock, and now he has stationed troops under Jili City." Jiang Chengzu said to him.And handed Xu Maogong's letter to Li Chengqian.

"It seems that Xue Rengui really didn't embarrass me. He even knew how to use hot air balloons to attack Yingzui Rock." After reading Xu Maogong's letter, Li Chengqian couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Your Highness, the emperor is already in Jili City now. Then we have to hurry up and send troops to Anshi Prefecture." Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian.

"It's time, but the Liaohe River must be opened first. Only by letting Zhang Shigui station his troops in Liaodong City can we have peace of mind." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness, why don't you ask your subordinates to lead the troops to the bank of the Liao River, and steal his unruly retreat." Zhao Tingxuan said to Li Chengqian.

After Zhao Tingxuan was hit by Pu Bucheng's poison dart, he fell into a coma for three days and three nights.In the end, fortunately, it was Jiang Chengzu's thorough research on the poison that he found the antidote to detoxify Zhao Tingxuan.

Even so, Zhao Tingxuan lay on the bed for more than seven days.Now that his body had just recovered, he asked Li Chengqian to fight.

"General Zhao, you did a great job in this battle in Liaodong City. Leave Pu Budao on the bank of the Liao River to Qin Huaidao." Qin Huaidao said to Zhao Tingxuan with a smile.

"General Qin, there will be more opportunities to make meritorious service in the future. Just let me do it this time, and I promise I will never fight with you next time." Zhao Tingxuan said to Qin Huaidao.

Li Chengqian didn't know what Zhao Tingxuan meant, this time Zhao Tingxuan was not in a hurry to make meritorious service.Instead, he wanted to vent his anger on himself.

After Zhao Tingxuan recovered in the past few days, he asked Li Chengqian to ask for Pu Bucheng's eight flying knives.and conducted a detailed study on it.

Not to mention, in the end Zhao Tingxuan really got his way.The ones used by these eight flying knives are really proficient.

But now that Pu Bucheng was dead, he naturally planned to express his anger to his elder brother Pu Bucheng.He was going to let Park Budao taste his brother's throwing knife.

So Li Chengqian said directly to Zhao Tingxuan: "I have sent people to inquire about those surrendered generals in the city, but none of them know that Pu Bucheng has the skill of throwing knives."

"From this, the king came to a conclusion, that is, Pu Budao must also have a hidden weapon similar to this flying knife. So you must be more careful this time."

Hearing Li Chengqian's explanation, Zhao Tingxuan couldn't help smiling.He spoke directly to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness can rest assured, the same mistake will never be made twice."

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Zhao Tingxuan: "Then you take 5 people out of the city quietly tonight. But you have to remember, you are not going to the bank of the Liao River."

"Instead, set up camp [-] miles east of Liaodong City. And hide yourself completely, so that Pu Budao's scouts can't find you."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Tingxuan couldn't help being taken aback.So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, you mean that Pu Budao will come to Liaodong City?"

"It will come, and it will definitely come. Because the king has already sent someone to deliver a letter to him. When he knew that Liaodong Cheng had fallen into the hands of the king, his whole family became lambs to be slaughtered. Do you think he still Can you sit still?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

……

"General, the general feels that there is something wrong with the Tang army on the other side." A deputy general came to Pu Budao and said.

Pu Budao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words of the deputy general, and said directly: "Could it be that Tang Jun has made some moves?"

"I can't see what Tang Jun is doing at the moment, but the general finally found that the opponent's camp seems to be empty." The deputy general said to Pu Budao.

"What did you say? You said that the camp of the Tang Army opposite was empty. Then where did the 20 troops of the Tang Army go?" Pu Budao stood up and asked.

At this moment, a man covered in mud stumbled in.And with a plop, he knelt down in front of Pu Budao.Then the whole person passed out.

Pu Budao was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't help being surprised when he looked carefully.Because the person who fainted was none other than Pu Nan, the son of his housekeeper.

So he ordered someone to wake him up immediately, and said, "Pu Nan, why didn't you come to me in Liaodong City, and you made it look like this?"

"General, I finally saw you. The second general has been killed by the Tang army, and our family has become their captives." Pu Nansheng said to Pu Budao tearfully.

After hearing the sermon, Pu Budao couldn't help but yelled, and he almost fainted.If it wasn't for the quick reaction of the lieutenant next to him, Pu Budao would have been lying on the ground by now.

After Pu Budao calmed down, he asked Pu Nan again: "What's going on, tell me in detail."

"General, it was Jin Zhennan who colluded with the Tang army inside and outside, and forged your letter, General, to trick the second general out of the city." Then Pu Nan told Pu Budao what happened.

After hearing this, Pu Budao spit blood out of his mouth and scolded Jin Zhennan for being despicable and shameless.It is bound to crush him to ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this time, Pu Budao suddenly thought of something, so he asked Pu Nan, "I don't know who is the commander of this Tang army, why did he suddenly appear in Liaodong City?"

"I don't know why they appeared in Liaodong City. I just heard that there are two people in charge of the army. One is called the virtuous king Li Chengqian, and the other is the general named Su Dingfang." Pu Nan said after thinking about it.

"Su Dingfang, shouldn't he be in the Tang army camp on the other side? When did he sneak across the Liaohe River?" Pu Budao said to himself.

"General, it seems that my observation today is not wrong. There is really no one in the Tang army camp on the other side." The deputy general said.

Pu Budao frowned, and asked Pu Nan again: "Do you know how many Tang troops are in Liaodong City?"

"After the Tang army entered Liaodong City, I was taken to Huotou Camp. I was in charge of cooking for the captured defenders of Liaodong City. I heard from the Huotou Army of the Tang Army that there were at least 8 or [-] people in the Tang Army in Liaodong City." Pu Nan spoke to Pu Budao.

After thinking for a while, Pu Budao said, "Then how did you escape from Liaodong City?"

To say that Pu Budao is really extraordinary, he immediately thought of the crux of the matter.After all, now that the Tang Army has occupied Liaodong City, it is not easy for Pu Nan to escape.

"Tang Jun killed people every day, and then transported the corpses out of Liaodong City for burial. But I was killed and mixed in the pile of corpses, and was sent out of Liaodong City." When Pu Nan mentioned this matter, his eyes were full of fear color.
