Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 200 Military Discussion
Three days later, Li Chengqian got into the carriage and left Wantong City under the guard of the Six Commanders of the East Palace and watched by Liu Lan and others.

Being a carriage is much more comfortable than riding a horse!
In order to ensure the safety of the prince along the way, Song Junming also selected [-] elite soldiers to escort the prince back to Chang'an.

Liu Lan and the others did not return to Wantong City until they could no longer see the prince's car.

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

"Stop!" Leaving Wantong City and exiting the territory of Xiazhou, Li Chengqian's large army stopped and did not move forward.

The other general Song Junming sent to escort the prince back to the capital rode his horse to the side of the prince's car, and asked, "Your Highness! Why did you stop suddenly! We just left Xiazhou, and we are still within the attack range of Xue Yantuo's army."

"It's still in a dangerous zone. General Yimo thinks it's better to hurry up, and it's not too late to stay in a safe place."

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

Don't realize that since they left Wantong City, they deviated from their original route, and now that the prince suddenly stopped again, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

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

This scared the other general to death, he received the order to safely escort the prince back to Chang'an.

If he didn't do it, he couldn't afford to lose even a single hair of the prince.

Now the prince actually wants to run to fight against Xue Yantuo's 20 army, why?
With their strength, Xue Yantuo's teeth are not enough, and even self-protection is a problem, so what can be used to eliminate them.

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

"Your Highness! Forgive me. With our strength, let alone eliminate Xue Yantuo, we don't even have the strength to fight Xue Yantuo."

"Your Highness, don't delay here, you'd better hurry up and return to Beijing. Your Highness has a body of gold, so why put yourself in danger." Don Jiang tried to persuade him.

He didn't want the prince to get hotheaded and really bring this kind of people to kill Xue Yantuo screamingly. Isn't this a thousand miles to send the enemy's head!

"Extermination of Xue Yantuo is the top priority. I have decided that there is absolutely no reason to change it, so I set off immediately." Li Chengqian's voice came from inside the carriage.

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

"This matter is beyond your control! Let the widow take it!" Li Chengqian's voice came again, with a slight anger in his tone.

Before Biejiang could speak, Xue Wanche at the side had already made a move, and took Biejiang down with one move.

The guards brought by Don't know what to do. They watched their leader being taken down, but they couldn't do anything casually.

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

The guards looked at each other, and they all became quiet, without any commotion because the general was captured.

Li Chengqian had expected this, and he should carry out his plan before being captured.

"Let's go and set off in the direction of Xue Yantuo's residence." Li Chengqian said.

The carriage turned around and headed in another direction. After Li Chengqian led [-] soldiers and horses for a further distance, he stopped again.

"Wanche, take someone to find a suitable place to camp, and we will spend the night here tonight." Li Chengqian came out of the carriage and said to Xue Wanche.

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

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

It is not just a matter of just finding a place for the army to set up camp, there is a lot of knowledge in it.

"Your Highness! Three miles to the northwest, there is a place suitable for our army to camp." Xue Wanche came back and reported to Li Chengqian.

"Then set off and set up camp there!" After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he got into the carriage and started heading towards the place Xue Wanche was looking for.

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

After setting up camp, Li Chengqian summoned Xue Wanche, Cheng Wuting, Pei Xingjian, Qiu Shenji, Wang Fangyi and other military officers from the Eastern Palace to the central army tent to hold a military meeting.

Even Xi Junmai, a newcomer recruited into the East Palace by Li Chengqian, had the honor to attend this important military meeting.

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

"Therefore, we must draw the troops from Xiazhou, Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou, so that we have enough troops to destroy Xue Yantuo."

"At the same time, we will also attract Uighur, Pugu, Tongluo and other clans to encircle Xue Yantuo's army with the Tang army and wipe them out in one fell swoop." Li Chengqian talked 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. This can affect the whole body.

Once there is any slight mistake, it will be irreversible.

"Your Highness! How should we attract soldiers and horses from Xiazhou, Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou? Would they move out without His Majesty's edict?" A general of the Eastern Palace questioned.

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

He didn't believe that the prince could let the generals guarding these states defy the emperor's orders and send troops to attack Xue Yantuo.

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

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

"Song Dudu, Liu Dudu and the others will sit idly by and let the widow be besieged by Xue Yantuo's army."

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

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words!

The prince wanted to risk himself and use himself as a bait, not only to lure the enemy, but also to lure his own people to come to the rescue.

What Li Chengqian is thinking about now is not to lure Song Junming and others to bring troops to rescue him, but whether he can persist until they arrive.

The key to the problem now is defense, and the most important part is to stick to it and wait for help.

"Your Highness! I oppose this move. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Highness is the foundation of the country. How can you risk yourself? Please think again, Your Highness!" Pei Xingjian was the first to stand up against Li Chengqian's risky approach.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent of using the prince as a bait to lure the enemy, let alone the Tang Dynasty, even in the previous dynasties, there has never been such a ridiculous thing.
