Li Ye led the army on a gallop. The roads in Dayuan were also smoother, which allowed them to fully utilize the advantages of horse-drawn carriages.

The wounded soldiers lay on the wagons while the others took turns running.

When I was tired, I sat in the carriage to rest for a while, and then got off to continue running.

The cavalrymen gave up their horses and let others take turns riding them.

㳎Do everything possible to increase the marching speed.

Anyway, the strategic goal has been achieved, and maintaining safety is the most important thing.

In addition, the injured soldiers must be settled as soon as possible and receive treatment.

After running for most of the day, he still didn't see any pursuers.

Li Ye laughed happily.

"This battle was truly exciting! Even if Annan wanted to retaliate, it wouldn't have the chance."

“That’s right, within Dayuan, there is no need to worry!

If Annan dares to invade again, I will make sure they never return!"

Ruyue County is full of fighting spirit.

He wished he could lead the army himself and defeat Annan.

"Don't worry, we caused a big disturbance in Annan, and they will definitely not swallow this.

But we also have to make preparations!

Defeating the enemy ten times is not as good as defeating him once.

No matter how many enemy troops come, we will destroy them all," Li Ye said.

"That's right! Defeat the enemy without causing any harm.

It won't be long before the heat returns and continues to disturb us.

Or should we annihilate them all and leave Annan unable to recover for decades?"

Zhao Wudi deeply agreed with this.

Qin Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief these days and sent troops to find the local government to ask for some food and fodder.

Recapture the previously abandoned city.

At the same time, he sent troops to investigate the situation in Annan.

I want to understand why Annan suddenly withdrew its troops.

The scouts sent out soon encountered Li Ye's retreating army.

When they learned that only 20,000 troops had destroyed the Kingdom of Annan, they made a big fuss.

What’s even more shocking is that most people were able to escape unscathed.

Jane couldn't imagine it.

You have to know that how did the 100,000-strong army of Annan come back to support and break through the enemy's encirclement and blockade?

Bring the news back as quickly as possible.

Qin Qingxue was discussing with Shi Wushuang whether to lead troops to attack the Kingdom of Annan.

The scouts brought back the latest news from the front lines.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the reason why the Annan army retreated has been thoroughly investigated.

It was His Royal Highness the Prince who led his army into Annan and captured several cities in succession.

And has successfully returned to Dayuan.

It's coming towards us."

Qin Qingxue was stunned on the spot, and her first reaction was that it was fake news.

"Is the information reliable? Did you see his army with your own eyes or is it hearsay?"

For some reason, Qin Qingxue became very irritable.

"I have personally met the prince, and it seems their army has indeed been through a great battle.

You shouldn't deceive your subordinates."

There was also an extremely incredible look in Shi Wushuang's eyes.

He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the army led by Li Ye.

There were 1,000 old, weak and disabled soldiers, and another 1,000 were eliminated from their army.

Only Zhao Wudi, who led 10,000 elite cavalry, had relatively strong combat effectiveness.

It seems impossible for such an army to enter Annan and capture many cities.

What's more, Anan's 100,000-strong army has already returned to the capital.

How could they possibly escape with 20,000 against 100,000?

"In my opinion, Li Ye probably just went to the border, fought a battle with the Annan army, and retreated in disgrace!

After running into you, I couldn't save face and fabricated some battle records."

Shi Wushuang said coldly from the side.

The scout was stunned, and felt that such an amazing record was really outrageous.

It made me feel a little insecure.

Nana said, "I also heard what His Royal Highness the Prince said. As for the true situation, I don't know."

"No matter what, we still have to welcome Prince Xu when he returns with his troops." Shi Wushuang said.

"Humph, Marshal Yu is in command of the entire army. Although Li Ye is a prince, he is just a spectator.

Marshal will not go out of the city to welcome him!

Sending Deputy General to assist is already a great honor."

Qin Qingxue snorted coldly.

His face became gloomy.

Shi Wushuang saw this and was actually very happy.

The greater the conflict between the two, the easier it is to control Qin Qingxue.

"That's true. As a commander in chief during wartime, you certainly shouldn't be servile to a prince."

He was considering whether to allow Annan to continue conquering Tang.

The Li army must have suffered heavy losses, and the 20,000 troops led by Li Ye were of little help to the battle situation.

As long as Annan can resolve the crisis, continuing the war will still have the advantage.

To this day, Shi Wushuang still believes that Annan was invaded by other enemy countries.

However, in this area, Annan is already the most powerful country except for the Dayuan Dynasty.

As long as the army returns, the enemy will be defeated.

A moment later, a cavalry unit set off.

The army was led by the deputy general to greet Li Ye.

The two armies soon met.

The deputy general immediately dismounted and walked forward, bowing respectfully: "I am General Zhang Han, honored to see His Royal Highness the Prince! Honored to see Ruyue Jun!

I have come to greet His Highness and the Commander-in-Chief."

Zhao Wudi's face looked very ugly.

According to etiquette, Qin Qingxue should also come to greet him in person.

They only sent a deputy general, obviously not taking Li Ye seriously.

Zhao Wudi asked gloomily, "Why didn't General Qin come?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "General Zhao, there's no need to be angry. We just went through a big battle, and Marshal Qin Ye naturally has a lot of things to deal with.

It was good enough that someone was sent to greet us.

The prince doesn't care about etiquette.

Our soldiers are exhausted, so let's return to the city and rest."

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief. He had prepared a lot of excuses on the way here.

I didn't expect Li Ye to speak like this.

He even spoke out to excuse them.

Zhao Wudi was completely impressed by Li Ye's abilities.

Subconsciously, I have automatically protected Li Ye's interests.

Very dissatisfied with Qin Qingxue's arrogant attitude.

Zhang Han didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he quickly asked his men to escort the army.

There were many wounded soldiers on the carriages, and their armor was covered with scars.

Zhang Han was extremely shocked.

One can tell at a glance that this army has gone through a very brutal battle.

But unexpectedly, the number of casualties was not too large.

Zhang Han had already believed the news brought back by the scout.

The prince must have led the entire army to defeat the Annan Kingdom and returned safely.

How is this done?

I'm afraid that even if any general in the court were to take over, he would not be able to achieve such a record.

"We have received news that His Highness led his army to attack Annan?

This journey must have been extremely difficult.

Did you encounter any powerful troops coming to the rescue from Annan?"

Zhang Han asked.

"We met them and fought two battles with them! But we were well prepared and killed more than 20,000 enemy troops." Zhao Wudi replied indifferently.
