Chapter 205 Li Dao

Zong Li Chengqian's camp is about 200 miles away from Wantong City. Under the condition of ensuring combat effectiveness, the army will need about two days to rush day and night.

In the Tang Dynasty, one li is equivalent to 454 meters. The normal marching speed of the Tang army is generally 50 miles a day.

When marching quickly, under the condition of maintaining combat effectiveness, they can run more than 100 miles a day.

It is not a problem to run a distance of 200 miles in two days.

Zhishi Sili's high-profile move was naturally soon known to Bazhuo. Bazhuo immediately prepared 150,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.

Bazhuo was very puzzled. What happened to the Tang army that had been hiding in Wantong City? How come he suddenly attacked him as if he had taken the wrong medicine?

Ba Zhuo ordered his men to line up to meet the enemy, and sent people to urge Meng Gu'etai to capture Li Chengqian as soon as possible.

Just as Song Junming and others attacked the Xueyantuo army and executed the action plan to rescue the prince. When

the two sides fought, the people Li Chengqian sent to Sanzhou for help also arrived in Sanzhou.

Shuozhou City, in the temporary general manager's mansion.

Jiangxia King Li Daozon took the letter for help in his hand, read it in a few seconds, but was very confused in his heart. Is Xueyantuo so rampant?

When our army was prepared, they dared to mobilize so many troops to attack Wantong City, which was basically a national expedition. This is simply incredible.

Li Daozong didn't really believe it was true, and even suspected that the letter for help might be fake.

After all, Li Daozong was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, how could he be fooled so easily?

If the people sent by Li Chengqian were not strong in their hearts, they would have been exposed by Li Daozong's strong aura.

Li Daozong flipped through it, but couldn't figure out what it was. The letter was indeed written in the common style of the Tang army.

This means that Wantong City is really in danger now!

But Li Daozong thought it shouldn't be like this. Song Junming personally led the troops from five states to Xiazhou. There was no reason for him to fail and need help.

But the letter was real, and Li Daozong didn't know what to do for a moment!

This letter for help was written by Xue Wanche himself. As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally knew the situation inside the Tang army.

He knew how to deceive Li Daozong and others.

It was impossible for Li Daozong and others to find a flaw in the letter.

This was also part of Li Chengqian's plan to destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate. As long as Li Daozong and others could send troops to Xiazhou,

his plan would be successful! The Uighurs who got the news would definitely unite with other tribes such as Pugu and Tongluo, take advantage of the internal emptiness of Xueyantuo

, cut his retreat, launch an attack on Xueyantuo, and stab Bazhuo in the back with a fatal knife.

If Xueyantuo is not destroyed and Bazhuo is not dead, he will write the three words "Li Chengqian" in reverse.

Now the key is to see if he can deceive his uncle!

As for Ashina She'er and Xue Guwu, Li Chengqian was not too worried, because they were not as vigilant as Li Daozon.

As long as they did not reveal their true colors, they would send reinforcements as soon as possible after checking the letters.

"You said that Xueyantuo colluded with the tribes in Mobei to send 500,000 troops to attack Wantong City. Now Wantong City is in danger!" Li Daozon asked.

"Yes! The two governors Song and Liu personally supervised the battle. Xueyantuo's attack was fierce, and Wantong City suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on for long. The two governors sent me out of the city to ask for help." Li Chengqian's messenger said.

"Oh! Since you fought your way out of the encirclement, why didn't you have any wounds, but came to my Shuozhou intact?"

"Why didn't Xueyantuo stop you? Why didn't you have any injuries? How did you fight your way out of the encirclement?" Li Daozon frowned and scolded.

Li Daozon's eyes were full of anger. Did they really think he was a fool? The man in front of him was too "clean". He

didn't look like someone who had fought his way out of the encirclement at all. Li Daozon didn't believe that the other party had fought his way out of the encirclement at all and came to ask for help from him.

Instead, he might be a spy sent by Xueyantuo to lure him, Li Daozon, out of Shuozhou so that Xueyantuo could take the opportunity to attack Shuozhou.

What a good trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but unfortunately! I have seen through it, and this plan is destined to fail.

Suddenly, the aura of a long-time superior emanated from Li Daozon, and the shocked Li Chengqian envoy was a little timid.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood. Please send a rescue as soon as possible, otherwise Wantong City will be finished!" The envoy said anxiously.

"Then you should explain my doubts just now. Why can you come to my Shuozhou unscathed? Tell me!" Li Daozon said, and finally slammed the table and roared. Li

Daozon's reaction was already expected by Xue Wanche. They have been colleagues for so many years and know Li Daozon to some extent.

"It was because my comrades-in-arms protected me with their lives that I was able to appear in Shuozhou safely and deliver the governor's letter for help to you, the King of Jiangxia."

The messenger told Li Daozon how they fought their way out of the siege and how his comrades-in-arms died on the battlefield to protect him. As he spoke, he burst into tears, as if he had touched upon something sad.

Even Li Daozon's deputy general was moved!

But Li Daozon still had a little doubt, and he was still unwilling to believe that this was true.

"Someone come!" Li Daozon shouted outside.

When the personal guards heard Li Daozon's voice, they immediately ran in, clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Drag this man away and torture him severely. I am worried that he is a spy sent by Xueyantuo." Li Daozon ordered.

"Yes!" The personal guards took the order and immediately stepped forward to take down the messenger and drag him away.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am really not a spy. Wantong City is in danger!..." The messenger was dragged away, but he still did not forget his mission.

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? What if Xueyantuo really attacks Wantong City?"

"If Your Majesty delays the rescue of Wantong City because of this, Wantong City will be lost, Xiazhou will definitely be slaughtered by Xueyantuo. What if the Xueyantuo army takes the opportunity to attack our Central Plains?"

"What should we do if His Majesty finds out about this and blames us?" the deputy general asked. He was worried that if they were really sent by Wantong City to ask for help, and Li Daozon delayed the rescue because of suspicion, something would happen.

They couldn't afford to be blamed.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but we still need to review it first. Song Junming and his men should be fine if they hold on for another day or two." Li Daozon said.

Since Li Daozon said so, the deputy general didn't say anything more!
