Chapter 209: Victory

"Not only that, I have already sent people to ask for help from Li Daozon, the King of Jiangxia in Shuozhou, Ashina She'er, the General of the Left Guard in Shengzhou, and Xue Guwu, the General of the Left Marquis in Lingzhou. The time is almost up!" Li Chengqian said.

This was said to Song Junming. Even if they did not retreat to Wantong City, it would not matter. He had enough troops to fight back.

Song Junming did not expect that the prince would do such a thing. Not only did he deceive him, but he also deceived Li Daozon and others.

The situation was out of his control now, and he really didn't know what to do!

"Your Highness! Even if you send someone to ask for help, King Jiangxia and others may not bring troops to rescue. Without a specific military symbol, the people sent by Your Highness may be treated as spies." Song Junming said, and he just remembered this matter.

This made him feel relieved. As long as Li Daozon and the other two did not come, the prince would still be in trouble, and he would have to go back with him obediently in the end.

"I'm sorry that Governor Song has taken so much trouble on this matter! Although I don't understand military affairs, there are many people in my Eastern Palace who know the truth."

"Among these three people, except for my uncle, King Jiangxia Li Dao Zong, who may have some doubts, the other two are not as cunning as King Jiangxia."

"After a thorough inspection, they will definitely send troops to rescue us, so we have at least two reinforcements." Li Chengqian said.

In addition to Xue Wanche, his Eastern Palace also has Cheng Wuting, Pei Xingjian and others who know the situation here very well.

Therefore, Li Chengqian is not afraid that he will not have reinforcements to help.

He now has about 40,000 soldiers and horses. If the other two reinforcements are added, the number of troops must be more than 80,000.

In this way, Li Chengqian has a better idea in his mind.

"Your Highness! Even if Generals Ashina She'er and Xue Guwu lead the troops, have you ever thought about how to supply the army with food and fodder?" Song Junming said.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the Fubing system. In addition to preparing their own equipment, the conscripted Fubing had to provide their own food on the road.

The court was not responsible for providing Fubing with food on the road. Only when they arrived at the concentration camp would the court provide food in the future.

Only after the war was over would the court distribute food on the way home.

Therefore, if Li Chengqian wanted to stockpile a large number of troops far away from Wantong City, the supply of food and fodder would be a problem.

After all, Li Chengqian's actions were private, and no one would transport food and fodder to them.

In the end, the prince still had to follow him, Song Junming, back to Wantong City. As long as the prince went back, Song Junming was sure to bring the army back.

"I have thought about this a long time ago! We can ask Wantong City to send food and grass. In addition, I have sent people back to collect food and grass long before this. Governor Song does not have to worry!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

The three armies have not moved yet, but the food and grass have come first! How could he not have thought of this aspect? He

had already thought of a way to crack it, and Li Chengqian was determined to fight to the death with Xueyantuo.

Song Junming really has no tricks now! The prince has thought of everything! It is really watertight.

"Your Highness! Even if we can repel Bazhuo, we will still

be helpless as long as Bazhuo retreats to Mobei." "We still can't do anything to him. After Bazhuo returns to Mobei, as long as he waits for a few more years, he can still make a comeback." Song Junming was already unwilling to give up.

He hoped that this way he could persuade the prince to turn back and not go down the same path.

Now his biggest wish is to get the prince back, and then send the prince back to Chang'an safely, so that he can feel at ease.

As for other things, he doesn't care at all now.

"Bazhuo has no chance to come back. As long as we can severely damage the opponent, Bazhuo's life will be over!" Li Chengqian said.

Song Junming didn't know the secret, so he naturally didn't believe what Li Chengqian said, and thought that he had been arrogant to a blind point.

Just like a terminally ill person, there is no cure.

Those who know the inside story naturally understand what the prince means. They are all thinking about how to make more contributions in this battle.

In short, everyone has something on their mind.

"Report~" A soldier rushed in, knelt on one knee and said: "Your Highness! General Xue Wanche sent back the battle report from the front, please take a look."

After saying that, the soldier raised the battle report above his head. Wang Quan hurried forward to take it and turned to hand it to Li Chengqian.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked forward to it. They all wanted to know what Xue Wanche wrote in the battle report?

Was this ambush a victory or a defeat?

In full view of everyone, Li Chengqian opened Xue Wanche's battle report and quickly read the battle report while everyone was anxiously waiting.

"Your Highness! What did Xue Wanche say in the battle report?" Qiu Shenji asked hurriedly after Li Chengqian finished reading it.

"This battle was a great victory! The 30,000 elite troops sent by Bazhuo were defeated by Xue Wanche, killing 20,000 enemies and beheading 5,000."

"Xue Wanche not only won a great victory, but also almost killed the enemy's main general, Chiying Daishan, but unfortunately he still escaped."

"Spread this victory report throughout the army, let the soldiers see that our Great Tang is invincible, and those who dare to offend our Great Tang are the role models." Li Chengqian said, handing the victory report to Wang Quan, asking Wang Quan to spread the news of the great victory throughout the army.

Wang Quan took the victory report and retreated. Soon the news of Xue Wanche's victory spread throughout the army, and the whole army cheered.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! God bless our Tang Dynasty!" Wang Fangyi immediately congratulated.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Others also congratulated.

"Everyone, it's too early to celebrate now. Now that Xueyantuo is seriously injured, it's time for our army to counterattack. All soldiers are ready to make achievements." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! We are ready! Please give the order." Except for Song Junming, everyone else in the East Palace was excited.

"What do you think, Governor Song?" Li Chengqian looked at Song Junming and smiled.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Song Junming. After all, among the soldiers outside were the 20,000 soldiers he brought with him.

If he didn't agree to run back to Wantong City and take the 20,000 soldiers with him, how could he fight the Xueyantuo?

Everyone subconsciously approached Song Junming and surrounded him. Several people even blocked the entrance of the big tent.

If Song Junming dared to act rashly, Li Chengqian would not have to say anything, as these people would have subdued him immediately.

Seeing that the current situation was not favorable to him, Song Junming did not forcefully say no, but after some consideration, he joined forces with Li Chengqian and his men.

"I am willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, invade Mobei, and destroy Xueyantuo." Song Junming expressed his position, which was also a helpless choice.
