Chapter 194 The Crown Prince's Plan (1)

"You don't have to worry about that. Before the Emperor went to war against Goguryeo, he had already intended to destroy the Xueyantuo."

"After the Emperor returns from this expedition, he will use military force against the Xueyantuo."

"As the Crown Prince, I should share the Emperor's worries! If only we could destroy the Xueyantuo before the Emperor returns!"

"The Emperor will be very happy then!" Li Chengqian said.

If it is really as the Crown Prince said, that would be great! They would have a chance to make great achievements.

However, if His Majesty does not let the Crown Prince do the work of destroying the Xueyantuo, they will still have no chance to make great achievements.

After all, the Tang Dynasty is full of talented people, and there are so many capable ministers and brave generals. How can these unknown young generals in the East Palace have any chance

? They thought to themselves that the emperor had little hope of letting the prince handle this matter.

"Your Highness! Should this matter be reported to the emperor? To get the emperor's approval?" Wang Fangyi said.

"Of course, this matter must be reported to the emperor, but we can't be too formal and too old-fashioned. We all know that the generals are not subject to the emperor's orders when they are away!"

"We must be ready to deal with various emergencies at any time and adapt to the situation, so as to seize the opportunity." Li Chengqian said.

What does the prince mean by this!

The prince's words contain a lot of information!

"How to report this matter to the emperor? I still need to wait for further information from the Jinyiwei. You can leave first!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Fangyi and the other two bowed and left.

"Wang Quan! When there is news from Long Zhi, report it to me immediately. I am a little tired! Take a nap first." Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan beside him.

"Don't worry, my lord! I know what to do!" Wang Quan said, and then left, leaving Li Chengqian alone in the room.

"My lord!"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chengqian just felt a little sleepy and was woken up in a daze.

He looked up and saw Wang Quan standing beside him, and Long Zhi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was standing one step in front of him.

"Bocheng, you are back! How is the situation?" Li Chengqian asked, sitting up straight.

"Your Highness! According to the investigation of the Jinyiwei, Bazhuo has detained the generals of various tribes. These people learned that our army was prepared in Shuozhou, Shengzhou, and Lingzhou."

"They opposed Bazhuo's continued southward advance. Bazhuo was furious and detained them all! Then he drove their tribes to attack Wantong City." Long Zhi said.

Li Chengqian suddenly realized it!

He said! How could the Xueyantuo army be so vulnerable? They were scared away by just a fire attack.

It turned out that because their leader was detained by Bazhuo, they were temporarily combined by Bazhuo to be used as cannon fodder to attack the city.

They were naturally unwilling in their hearts, and finally it turned into a disintegration situation.

As for the second echelon behind them, it should be those small tribes. Seeing that the front was disintegrating, they took the opportunity to escape because they were unwilling to risk their lives for Bazhuo.

Bazhuo's 20,000 troops, who were at the back, saw that the situation was out of control. Although Bazhuo was unwilling, he had no choice but to retreat.

This was also the most helpless thing for Bazhuo. He couldn't use his 20,000 troops to attack Wantong City!

Now, Bazhuo should be so depressed that he vomited blood! He didn't even touch the wall of Wantong City, but he retreated in such a disgrace.

What's worse is that he was attacked by Xue Wanche, a fierce man, halfway, Li Chengqian thought in his heart.

Bazhuo was not only depressed, but also crazy. First, he failed to attack Wantong City, and was attacked on the way back, and he almost lost his life.

Bazhuo was naturally furious, so he transferred his anger to the tribes of different surnames, which made the tribes of different surnames even more dissatisfied with Bazhuo.

Li Chengqian didn't know about this.

"After Bazhuo returned, he was furious because of the attack and killed many people. He even thought that it was the undeserving people of the tribes of different surnames that led to such a result. Bazhuo even killed the leader of the tribe of different surnames who he had detained as a sacrifice." Long Zhi continued. "

It seems that Bazhuo is courting his own destruction. No one can save him. It's time to destroy Xueyantuo!" Li Chengqian laughed.

Although Bazhuo's killing was satisfying! But the consequences were not something he could bear.

His anger dominated his reason, and he devoured people like a wild beast. Although he frightened the tribes with different surnames who followed him south for a short time, he

also offended other tribes, especially the Uighurs. Bazhuo pushed these tribes to the opposite side.

The opportunity he had been waiting for came!

"Your Highness! Although Bazhuo offended other tribes, he once again mobilized 200,000 troops to come. I think we should still be careful." Long Zhi said.

"The best defense is to attack. It is meaningless to rely on the city to defend. This time we leave the capital, not to defend against the enemy's attack."

"But to do everything we can to eliminate the enemy. This is the main purpose of our leaving the capital this time."

"Xueyantuo has grown into a hidden danger on the border of our Tang Dynasty. If we want peace on the border, the best way is to eliminate it, so that we can solve the problem once and for all." Li Chengqian said.

People's desires and ambitions are endless. If we give in blindly, we will not only fail to get the peace we want, but also make the other side more powerful.

Now Bazhuo is leading the army to attack Tang in the south. If he does not show it, people will think that the great Tang Dynasty is afraid of his small Xueyantuo.

If Tang Dynasty just defends blindly, it will only make Bazhuo more arrogant, and he will come back again after a long time.

"But Your Highness! We don't have the troops to fight against Bazhuo. Bazhuo has an army of 200,000, and the power that the Eastern Palace can command is limited."

"What can we use to fight against Bazhuo's 200,000 troops?" Long Zhi expressed his concerns!

Although there are large numbers of troops in Shuozhou, Shengzhou, Lingzhou, and Xiazhou where he is now, these troops will not obey the prince's orders.

The prince can only command about 1,000 guards in the Eastern Palace, plus 10,000 troops that can be mobilized.

To be honest, Long Zhi is really scared if he has to fight against 200,000 with this little force.

"Who said we don't have troops?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Long Zhi was puzzled. He really didn't understand where the soldiers the prince was talking about came from.

"Didn't Song Junming, the governor of Shengzhou, lead the troops of five states to Wantong City, plus the Turkic troops that Zhishi Sili transferred from Shengzhou and Lingzhou."

"And the army in Wantong City, together there are 100,000 people, so there are soldiers! In addition, with generals like you and Xue Wanche, it will be a piece of cake to deal with Ba Zhuo." Li Chengqian said.

These are all experienced soldiers, what a pity! Li Chengqian has no right to control them, even if there are more of them, it will be useless.

Long Zhi doesn't think that Zhishi Sili and his gang will obey the orders of the prince.
