Chapter 204: Dispatching troops

No matter how confused they are now, now is not the time to think about these things. The prince is still waiting for them to lead troops to rescue him.

Saving people is like putting out a fire, there is no time to delay!

"Eunuch Wang, please stay here for a while. We will go to gather the troops and you can go to rescue him!" Song Junming said.

"Okay! Hurry up!" Wang Quan said briefly. He was really anxious. After he left the camp, he heard that the Xueyantuo army attacked Li Chengqian's camp.

Now the two sides should have fought, and he was afraid that it would be too late if he went too late!

Seeing that Wang Quan did not seem to be lying, Song Junming and others believed a little more about the prince being besieged by the Xueyantuo army.

"What should we do now?" Liu Lan asked.

People must be rescued, but how to rescue them needs to be planned. You can't just ignore everything and lead people to kill.

"General Liu, you lead the troops to stay in Wantong City to prevent the enemy from stealing the city. I'm worried that this may be a trick of the enemy to lure the tiger out of the mountain!" Song Junming said.

Song Junming was worried that this was a trick of Xueyantuo, the purpose of which was to lure their army out of the city, and then send troops to attack Wantong City

. Before they react and return to support Wantong City, they will capture Wantong City.

"Okay! Then I will lead 20,000 government soldiers and militia soldiers. I can't say anything else, but there will be no problem in defending Wantong City." Liu Lan guaranteed.

With Liu Lan's guarantee, the rear security problem of Wantong City was solved!

The next question was to send troops to rescue the prince.

They were also anxious when the prince was surrounded. The key was that they were worried whether this was a trick of Xueyantuo, whose purpose was to lure them to send troops.

Then they would concentrate their superior forces to destroy them on the way to rescue.

This was not impossible.

There was another question, that is, whether Xueyantuo knew the identity of the person they were besieging.

"Only by finding out whether Xueyantuo knew that it was the prince who was surrounded, can we come up with an accurate plan." Song Junming said.

"It's not that simple! Ask the eunuchs around the prince and everything will be clear!" Shishisili said.

"That's right, just now we were only concerned about sending troops to rescue the prince, and we didn't have time to ask about the situation. We didn't even know where the prince met the Xueyantuo army." Tian Renhui said.

Just now, we were indeed in too much of a hurry, and there was no time to ask in detail. We didn't even know the direction.

"I'll go ask." Shishi Sili said, and he stood up and went back to ask Wang Quan.

The others were also busy, and sent people to gather the army. Liu Lan, who was in charge of the city defense, left first to inspect the city defense in person.

After a while, Shishi Sili came back after understanding the situation.

Everyone hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you find out?"

"After asking, he said that at the beginning, Xueyantuo didn't know who the besieged people were, they only knew that it was the Tang army, but he couldn't guarantee that the prince would not reveal his identity now." Shishi Sili said.

If that's the case, then things will be much easier!

If the enemy really wanted to lure them to the rescue, and then concentrate superior forces to destroy them,

they would definitely not launch a fierce attack on the prince and his men. At most, it would be a siege, and the prince and his men would be fine in the short term.

There is another possibility, that is, no matter what they are besieging, the Xueyantuo army does not want to surround and attack the reinforcements.

They will definitely launch a fierce attack on the prince and his men. It is hard to say whether the 20,000 troops around the prince can withstand the attack of the 100,000 Xueyantuo troops.

Everything depends on how long the prince can hold on and whether he can hold on until they can lead the reinforcements to arrive.

Song Junming and his men did not know that the Xueyantuo actually knew who was fighting against them, but Wang Quan did not say it.

The Xueyantuo army is now blocked on the other side of a trench, and is being attacked by Xue Wanche. It is not so easy to capture Li Chengqian's camp.

It is not a problem for Li Chengqian to delay him for ten days or half a month. There is no pressure at all.

Song Junming told everyone his guess. He was not sure which of the two situations would be.

"No matter which situation it is, I only know that the prince is in danger now! The later we rescue him, the more danger the prince will be."

"If His Majesty knows that we are discussing here and have delayed rescuing the prince, His Majesty will be furious, and you and I will both have our heads moved." Shi Shisi said.

The most urgent task is to rescue the prince, not to waste time here. They must send troops as quickly as possible to ensure the success rate of rescuing the prince.

Song Junming did not dwell on this. Just as Zhishisili said, saving people is like putting out a fire. If you go too late, everything will be too late.

Fortunately, the army in the city is ready. They just need to send out the troops.

"In order to prevent unexpected incidents, I decided to let the right general Zhishisili lead the Turkic troops to attack Bazhuo's camp and raise more flags along the way."

"The bigger the momentum, the better. You decide how to do it." Song Junming made a plan.

"Aren't we going to rescue the prince? Why do we have to ask the right general to attack Bazhuo's camp? Why?" Song Junming's deputy general asked.

"It is true that we are going to rescue, but we cannot go so rashly. Attacking Bazhuo's camp and raising so many flags is to make Bazhuo think that our army is going to attack him."

"Fearing that our army will break through, Bazhuo will definitely order the troops besieging the prince to withdraw to prevent our attack."

"Even if they don't recall all of them, they will definitely withdraw some of their troops to rescue. Then I will lead the troops to defeat them and rescue the prince and his men." Song Junming said. "

This is also good. Not only can it solve the prince's urgent need, but it can also ensure that our army will not be attacked." Tian Renhui said.

Everyone quickly finalized the plan, and a rescue plan was just born.

The army led by Shishishili will attack Bazhuo's camp with great fanfare. It is best to make it known to everyone in the city.

After Shishishili left, Song Junming found Liu Lan and said to him, "I don't know what the result will be. After I leave, you should send people to Shuozhou, Shengzhou and Lingzhou to ask for help."

"The military commanders of these three states have been ordered by your majesty to guard the three states and respond to our army from a distance. If anyone asks for help, they will definitely lead the troops to come."

"Is this so serious? We actually need help." Liu Lan felt that Song Junming was making a big fuss. Was it necessary to make such a big move?

Song Junming felt that it was always right to be cautious. What if Ba Zhuo was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and his goal was Wantong City? They were unprepared and could easily suffer losses.

"It's always right to be cautious! I have to leave now, bye!" Song Junming said.

"Take care!" Liu Lan said.

The two said goodbye, and Song Junming and Wang Quan set out together to rescue the prince.
