Chapter 180 There is still a chance
In his plan, Shi Shishili only Tian Renhui would assist him. Even Xiazhou Governor Liu Lan was not in his plan.
Not to mention Cheng Wuting and other people around the prince, Shi Shishili had never thought about them. He did not expect that the prince would suddenly come to Xiazhou to appease the troops.
It was not that Shi Shishili looked down on the military commanders of the Eastern Palace, but he did not consider that the prince would also get involved.
What's more, this plan to lure the enemy deep into the city was the result of his discussion with Tian Renhui.
Tian Renhui on the side quietly winked at Shi Shishili, saying that even if he did not need the people of the Eastern Palace, he could not directly reject the prince's kindness.
Isn't this giving the prince no face? Although you are relatives, you are also monarchs and subjects!
Tian Renhui was worried about Zhishi Sili in his heart, and his eyes almost twitched when he winked at him! Zhishi Sili was still indifferent.
"Since the Duke of Anguo has already made a plan, I will wait for news from the Duke of Anguo in this governor's mansion." Li Chengqian smiled, and he saw Tian Renhui's little move.
It seems that his Turkic uncle has good relationships with people on weekdays, and at least someone will remind him at critical moments.
Li Chengqian knew in his heart that the person Zhishi Sili was loyal to was his father, Emperor Li Er, no matter whether he, Li Chengqian, was the prince or the emperor.
As long as his father, Emperor Li Er, was still alive, his uncle Zhishi Sili would always be loyal to Li Er first.
This will never change, and it cannot be changed.
"Your Highness! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I still have to go back to my place of residence to arrange everything." Shishisili stood up and saluted Li Chengqian.
"Please do as you please, Duke Anguo!" Li Chengqian nodded.
Shishisili turned around and left. After leaving the Governor's Mansion, he went straight back to Jinshan Road.
After Li Chengqian chatted with Liu Lan and others for a few words, the welcoming banquet was over, and Li Chengqian returned to his residence.
With the help of the eunuchs, he took off his armor and changed into comfortable casual clothes.
"My lord, the generals are seeking to see you outside! Do you want to summon them?" A eunuch walked in to report.
"Let them wait in the hall. I will go to see them after I change my clothes." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" The eunuch took the order and left, and led Wang Fangyi and others who came to see
him to the reception hall to wait. After Li Chengqian washed up, he came to the reception hall to meet his military officers from the Eastern Palace.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Seeing Li Chengqian appear, the generals hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"You must be tired from traveling all the way. Why don't you stay at your lodgings and come to me? Aren't you tired?" Li Chengqian came to the main seat and sat down. "
Your Highness! Why did we leave the capital and come to Xiazhou this time?"
"Are we really just here to comfort the troops?"
"Didn't Your Highness ask us to make achievements? Now the Xueyantuo army will soon be at the gates of the city, but we can only stay in this Xiazhou Governor's Mansion." A military officer from the Eastern Palace asked unwillingly.
Dare to speak to the Crown Prince in such a tone. Under normal circumstances, even if Li Chengqian did not say anything, Wang Fangyi or Cheng Wuting would have scolded him long ago.
But now they remained silent. In a sense, the words of this general represented the voice of all the generals in the East Palace.
Everyone felt that it was really unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Why? What do you all think?" Li Chengqian asked, but no one answered.
Li Chengqian looked at the silent hall in front of him, and naturally understood why everyone was so unwilling.
After all, he had told these people before going out this time that this time they came out to make achievements.
Now the enemy is getting closer and closer to them, but they can only stay in Wantong City in Xiazhou, and there is nothing they can do.
"This time Bazhuo led an army of 100,000 to invade our Tang Dynasty. There will be plenty of battles to fight. You still have to worry about not being able to achieve success."
"This time we are not only going to repel the Xueyantuo, I am going to destroy the Xueyantuo."
"If the Xueyantuo is not destroyed, it will be a permanent hidden danger for our Tang Dynasty. If we want to have permanent peace in the Western Regions, we must completely destroy the Xueyantuo to completely scare those villains with evil intentions
." "I don't let you go this time because I don't want to make a fuss, so as not to scare Bazhuo and retreat back to Mobei. It will be difficult to destroy the Xueyantuo." Li Chengqian said earnestly.
Everyone suddenly realized!
So that's what happened. They misunderstood the prince!
"Your Highness! What should we do now?" Cheng Wuting asked.
"Bocheng, this time I have to rely on you Jinyiwei to find out the intelligence of Xueyantuo. You must find out how many tribes Bazhuo has offended this time and try to win them over."
"Also, you must find out which tribes are sending troops this time and the supply of food and fodder for Bazhuo's army." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, don't worry! We will be able to find out these in a few days!" Long Zhi stood up and saluted.
Li Chengqian nodded and continued, "We have limited military strength. We can only use wits and not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Xueyantuo."
"Bazhuo has mobilized an army of 100,000, but not all of them may be on the same page with him. When the time comes, we can let them kill each other."
"This time, we have lured the enemy army deep into Xiazhou. At most, we can inflict heavy damage on the Xueyantuo's vanguard army."
"It is impossible to completely destroy it, but it is good this way.
Bazhuo will think that the Tang Dynasty is short of troops." "Only in this way will Bazhuo be more bold in invading our Tang Dynasty. By then, it will be time for everyone to make achievements. You all need to wait patiently."
"Your Highness is absolutely right. We are all too impatient!" Wang Fangyi stood up and spoke on behalf of everyone.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "It's okay! I understand your feelings. We have traveled for such a long time and must be exhausted. Now we should rest up and wait for the right time."
"Your Highness! We are negligent and have disturbed your rest!" Everyone apologized.
The prince must be exhausted after traveling all the way to Xiazhou. They can still bear it, but the prince may not be able to do the same as them.
"Okay! You all go back and rest, and keep the useful bodies to kill more enemies for me." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed and left.
Long Zhi went back and sent all the intelligence personnel of Jinyiwei to the Xueyantuo to gather intelligence. He had to find out everything the prince had told him in the shortest possible time. After
everyone left, Li Chengqian stretched his lazy back, yawned, and then got up to rest. He had been rushing to Xiazhou non-stop, which made him feel exhausted physically and mentally.
Now he didn't want to do anything, just wanted to have a good rest, and put other things aside.
The sky would not fall.
