Chapter 210: Reinforcements Arrive at the Battlefield

Song Junming was in a bitter mood! He was a man who had seen many storms, but today he fell into the hands of a rookie.

If Li Chengqian was not the prince, Song Junming would have taught him a lesson he would never forget.

But he was the prince, and Song Junming could only talk at most, and he dared not fight with the prince.

"Okay! Since Governor Song has no objection! Let's discuss the plan of advancing." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, Song Junming knew what to do. Li Chengqian had already made preparations. If Song Junming said no, he would immediately detain him, seize his military power, and then march north.

Anyway, the plan to advance north had been discussed long ago, and no matter whether Song Junming agreed or not, the original plan would not be changed.

However, since Song Junming was so cooperative, Li Chengqian did not make it difficult for him, but just let him become his advisor.

"General Song has fought for many years, and he must be familiar with the military strategies. If General Song does not mind, he can be an advisor to me, and I can learn military strategies from General Song nearby." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Doing so was actually forcing him to hand over the command of the 20,000 troops in his hands.

Song Junming had no choice but to hand it over. From the moment he stepped into the big tent, everything was already doomed. If Song Junming cooperated, he could save some face.

After the Northern Expedition was successful, his contributions would naturally be included in the merit book.

"I will follow your Highness's arrangements!" Song Junming said with a bow.

"Wuting, Fangyi, from today on, the 20,000 troops under the command of Governor Song will be led by the two of you. Governor Song should not have any objections, right?"

Li Chengqian said the first sentence to Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi, and the second sentence to Song Junming.

Li Chengqian seemed to be asking for Song Junming's opinion, but in fact his tone was firm and he would not allow any objection, let alone any objection.

"It's all up to your Highness! I will obey your order!" Anyway, there was no point in objecting, so Song Junming might as well just stay single.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi came out to salute and express their gratitude.

Although Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi became the main generals of the 20,000 troops under Song Junming, Li Chengqian would not let them command all of Song Junming's original troops.

Li Chengqian was worried that there might be some cronies of Song Junming among these 20,000 soldiers, and Song Junming would control these 20,000 soldiers through his cronies.

In order to prevent this from happening, Li Chengqian mixed the original soldiers with the current soldiers and then redistributed them. Li Chengqian

also planned to do the same after Ashina She'er and Xue Guwu came.

One must strike while the iron is hot. Now is the perfect opportunity to seize the victory and pursue the victory, and Li Chengqian would naturally not let it go.

Li Chengqian discussed with everyone the next route of the troops and launched the attack before Bazhuo could react.

Bazhuo would never have thought that Li Chengqian would dare to do this. Even if Bazhuo failed this time, he still had more than 100,000 troops under his command.

After everyone finished discussing, the guards outside the big tent reported: "Your Highness, the General of the Left Guard, Ashina She'er, led 20,000 Hu soldiers to rescue you."

"Good! Finally they are here! Our army has a better chance of winning. Take the Prince Consort down to rest first, and then go to see him later." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left.

"Your Highness! Now our reinforcements have arrived, the General of the Left Guard, Ashina She'er, has arrived, and the General of the Left Wuhou, Xue Guwu, should also be here! Should we re-formulate the plan to attack Xueyantuo?" Qiu Shenji asked. "

No need! You proceed according to the original plan. As for Ashina She'er and Xue Guwu, I have already discussed it with Pei Xingjian! They have other arrangements." Li Chengqian said.

"I'll take my leave!" Everyone bowed and left.

There were only three people left in the big tent, namely the supreme commander of the army, the prince, the chief commander of the battle, Pei Xingjian, and the first staff officer, Song Junming.

As soon as everyone left, a guard came to report, "Your Highness! The general of the left guard, Ashina She'er, said that he wants to see Your Highness now!"

"Since he is so anxious to see me, let him come!" Li Chengqian said. If

someone is so anxious to see him, it would be bad to turn him away, and he, Li Chengqian, is not ashamed to see people.

What's more, Ashina She'er is the prince's uncle, and he should see him both publicly and privately.

"Yes!" The guard took the order, and a moment later, Ashina She'er appeared in front of Li Chengqian.

"I, the General of the Left Guard, Ashina She'er, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ashina She'er saluted Li Chengqian.

"No need to be polite!"

Li Chengqian said. "Thank you, Your Highness!" Ashina She'er stood up and said.

"Your Highness! I just saw that the army in the camp seemed to be reorganized, and there were signs of mobilization. Is Your Highness going to take any action next?" Ashina She'er asked. "

That's right! Our army just ambushed and defeated 30,000 elite Xueyantuo. Now is the perfect time for our army to take advantage of the victory and launch an attack. Ba Zhuo would never have expected that our army would take advantage of the opportunity to send troops." Li Chengqian did not hide anything, and there was no need to hide it.

Ashina She'er nodded and said, "Your Highness is right! This is indeed the best time. Our army has just won a great victory and is now at its peak."

Sending troops at this time will surely drive the Xueyantuo back to Mobei, Your Highness! I request to see this battle. "

After hearing this, Song Junming on the side shouted helplessly in his heart: General Ashina, you think too simply! The prince not only wants to drive Xueyantuo back to Mobei, but also wants to destroy the country directly.

Ashina She'er didn't know Li Chengqian's plan, and thought that he only wanted to drive Xueyantuo back to Mobei, so he intervened.

If he knew that Li Chengqian actually wanted to destroy the king of Mobei, he would definitely do his best to stop him. Ashina She'er didn't think that they could destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate with their current strength.

That was simply a fool's dream. It was a fantasy. Only Li Chengqian, who had lived in the capital for a long time, had no idea. Only those who have seen the outside world will not know how dangerous it is.

As for the understanding of Xueyantuo, as an Eastern Turk prince who once fought against the previous Xueyantuo Khan, who can understand Xueyantuo better than him.

As an Eastern Turk prince who once ruled Xueyantuo and other tribes, if Ashina She'er had not been careless for a moment, he would have underestimated the strength of Xueyantuo.

He would have been the king of Mobei long ago, and there would be no Xueyantuo for him.

The enemy that Li Chengqian has to fight now is not the new Xueyantuo Khan Bazhuo, but the strong man in front of him, the Eastern Turk prince Ashina She'er.

"Uncle, even if you don't tell me, I have the same idea. Uncle, lead your troops and march from this road to attack Bazhuo's left wing." Li Chengqian pointed to a route on the map and said to Ashina She'er.

They had discussed this route long ago, and the reinforcements from Ashina She'er, Xue Guwu and others were included.

"Yes!" Ashina She'er accepted the order.
