Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 179
As soon as Liu Lan finished speaking, she saw someone rushing in from the outside, knelt down on one knee, glanced at everyone, then cupped her fists and said to Liu Lan, "Report to the governor..."

"Presumptuous! Didn't you see that His Royal Highness is here? You don't know how to be polite! Hurry up and salute His Highness!" Liu Lan scolded.

Why is this subordinate so lacking in vision? It's fine on weekdays, but today the prince is here, and you dare to salute me directly.

Isn't this despising the prince!If at that time people suspect that Liu Lan has some evil intentions, where will he go to reason.

Liu Lan was very annoyed in her heart, originally held a banquet today to welcome the prince, but Liu Lan tried her best to please the prince, because she hoped to have a good future in the future.

Although he is the governor of Xiazhou, how can he compare with the dignitaries in the capital? He wanted to go back to the capital early in the morning to take up his post.

Unfortunately!He Liu Lan didn't have any connections, and it was a long way off to return to the capital to be an official.

He finally looked forward to the prince coming to Xiazhou to support the army. How could Liu Lan miss this golden opportunity.

Once the crown prince is favored, after the crown prince returns to the capital, he will give him some kind words in front of His Majesty Li Er, and Liu Lan will return to Beijing in hope.

Seeing that he was about to succeed in pleasing the prince, at this juncture, a blind guy ran in.

Didn't you see that even I, the governor, can only sit at the bottom as a foil?

Aren't you hurting me by doing this?

Li Chengqian and the others frowned, their faces changed drastically on the spot, even Tian Renhui next to Liu Lan, and several officials of the Dudu's Mansion were the same.

They wondered whether Liu Lan was planning to rebel.

Since ancient times, if a general can be placed first in the hearts of his subordinates, he will definitely attract suspicion.

The army belongs to the country, not yours. If you turn the army belonging to the country into an army that only obeys your orders.

It is enough to prove that you already have the heart of treason, otherwise why would you raise an army privately.

The soldiers under your Liu Lan actually don't have a prince in their eyes, only you, Liu Lan, say that you have no second thoughts, and everyone here will not believe it.

After being reprimanded by Liu Lan, the soldier finally came to his senses, glanced at Liu Lan, then turned around and saluted Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness! An Guogong is desperate to see you outside!"

"Let him in!" Li Chengqian said neither humble nor overbearing.

"No!" The soldiers retreated, and Liu Lan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the prince didn't take the blame for what happened just now.

How did he know that even without the episode just now, the crown prince would have been eyeing him long ago. After all, he, Liu Lan, was a rebel recorded in history.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Chengqian not to be wary of Liu Lan.

A burly man in armor and a few braids walked in outside, looking like a Turkic man.

"See His Royal Highness for Zhishisili!" Zhishisili saluted Li Chengqian with the highest Turkic etiquette.

"Mr. An, don't need to be too polite! Mr. An came just in time. We are opening the banquet, please come in quickly." Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to help Zhi Sisi Li, and Zhi Si Si Li got up.

Liu Lan asked someone to bring another table, and placed it next to Liu Lan. After she lost her mind and took her seat, it became No. 1 at the bottom right of the banquet, and Liu Lantian ranked second.

The soldiers of the Dudu's Mansion retreated after serving the food to Zhi Shi Si Li, and Zhi Shi Si Li immediately ate the food in front of him in big chunks.

To be honest, he rushed all the way here, he was really hungry, and he lost his energy to eat.

"Are you full?" Li Chengqian stopped his chopsticks and asked when he saw that he lost his mind.

"Burp" Zhu Shili hiccupped and said, "Your Highness laughed! I'm already full!"

"Since An Guogong is full! Then I will not talk nonsense! An Guogong, has Xue Yantuo sent troops, and how many troops are there? Please An Guogong, please elaborate." Li Chengqian asked.

"His Royal Highness! After the death of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, his son Bazhuo ascended to the Khan throne, and he named himself Jieli Juli Xue Shadomi Khan."

"Since this Domi Khan succeeded to the throne, he ordered all the tribes to transfer troops to the royal court to join up and attack the Tang Dynasty."

"But anyone who opposes Bazhuo, and those who delay the time, will be executed by Bazhuo, and all their heads will be hung on the flagpole."

At this point, Zhishenli paused for a moment, organizing words in his mind to see how to make a long story short.

Li Chengqian didn't urge him, the others quietly watched Zhi lose his mind, waiting for him to continue talking.

After a while, Zhi Shili went on to say: "This time Xue Yantuo dispatched a total of [-] troops, Xue Yantuo's own [-] soldiers and horses, and other tribes [-] soldiers and horses."

"General Xue Yantuo Yoshino Tai will lead [-] soldiers of Xue Yantuo's own clan as the vanguard. The next day, they will arrive at Jinshan Road where the minister is stationed."

Li Chengqian looked at Long Zhi who was on the side, to see if what Zhishisili said was consistent with the information that Jin Yiwei had inquired about.

Long Zhi nodded slightly to Li Chengqian, confirming that Zhishenli was telling the truth.

Only then did Li Chengqian say: "Now that the enemy army is pressing down on the border, I don't know what Duke An's plans are and how to retreat from the enemy."

"Your Highness! I think Jinshan Road is not suitable for a battlefield, and confront Xue Yantuo's army head-on."

"I want to lure Xue Yantuo's vanguards to the territory of Xiazhou, and eat the [-] pioneers of Bazhuo first." Zhi Shili said.

He has dealt with Xue Yantuo for so many years, and he knows each other well. As a Turkic person, he knows the terrain around Jinshan Road better than anyone else.

Where to fight against Xue Yantuo's army is more beneficial to the Tang army.

In order to destroy Xue Yantuo's [-] vanguard army, it is necessary to bring the [-] Xue Yantuo army into Xiazhou territory, and cut off their connection and retreat with the follow-up soldiers and horses.

Then, taking advantage of the favorable terrain in Xiazhou, they wiped out the [-] soldiers and horses in one go, which is called favorable terrain.

The Great Tang has the right time, place and people. No matter how many soldiers Xue Yantuo comes, he will have to drink his hatred in Xiazhou.

Zhi Shisi Li confided his plan in full. Here are all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the prince sitting on it is the current prince.

Zhishisili was not worried at all, his plan would leak out and Xue Yantuo would know about it.

"Mr. An's plan is very good! Everything will be done according to Mr. An's plan." Li Chengqian knew that he wanted to lure the enemy to go deep, but he didn't know how to do it.

Now that I heard Zhishisili's overall plan, I finally understood how Zhishisili led the enemy troops to Xiazhou, and then wiped them out.

"Your Highness! The final general is willing to help Duke An!" Qiu Shenji stood up and clasped his fists in salute, asking Ying.

"I am also willing to help Duke An!" Everyone wanted to make contributions, and Cheng Wuting and the others saw that Qiu Shenji was one step ahead, so they all got up and asked.

"What do Duke An think?" Li Chengqian looked at Zhishen and asked.

"I don't need to bother the generals of the Eastern Palace. With the assistance of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General Tian Renhui, I can defeat Ba Zhuo and eat up the [-] army." Zhi lost his strength.
