At this time, Li Chengqian was still standing on the hillside.
Even the fierce fighting on the front line did not disturb his interest in admiring the snow scenery at all.
And at this time, the messenger also came quickly from the bottom of the hillside.
When Li Chengqian approached, the messenger immediately intervened and said: "Your Highness, the Ansa army has withdrawn."
"oh?"
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth: "Which direction did you go in?"
"south!"
The messenger answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian had no reaction.
Liu Qi and Chen Fukuan next to them were a little shocked.
Especially Chen Fukuan.
At this moment, he looked at the messenger with a surprised face and said, "Did they really run to the south?"
"yes."
The messenger nodded.
Hearing this, Chen Fukuan was even more surprised.
He turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, you are really clever."
"What a clever plan this is."
"If you come, you can guess it too."
Li Chengqian said lightly: "After all, for the current Ansa Army, they have no ammunition and no cotton clothes, and their morale is not too high."
"The only way they can go is in the south."
"It would be really unexpected if they didn't go south, but took other routes."
After speaking, Li Chengqian also waved to Liu Qi.
Upon seeing this, Liu Qi did not hesitate, walked up to Li Chengqian, and said softly: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Wait until the enemy runs ten miles away, then lead your men to catch up."
Li Chengqian specifically warned: "Remember, you can't fight the enemy, but you can't lose the enemy either."
Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
But he did not doubt Li Chengqian's order, he cupped his hands and said: "Yes."
And after Liu Qi left.
Chen Fukuan is also somewhat unwilling to be lonely.
He also walked to Li Chengqian's side and asked, "Your Highness, what about me?"
"you?"
Li Chengqian glanced at him with raised eyebrows, smiled and said, "Just stay with me for the time being."
"ah?"
Obviously, Chen Fukuan was not satisfied with Li Chengqian's answer.
Although Chen Fukuan is not the kind of warlike person, he is not willing to hide and relax during the war.
What's more, now that Ansa's army has become a lost dog, he also wants to go up and pick up some military merits or something.
Seeing his reluctant look, Li Chengqian also smiled.
"how?"
Li Chengqian asked: "Don't you want to stay with me?"
Chen Fukuan was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Chengqian ask this.
He scratched his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to stay with His Highness, but that the general is really restless."
"Besides, the current Ansa army has been completely defeated."
"These brothers under the general's command also want to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions..."
In fact, all things considered, he still wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy.
And Li Chengqian also understood what he meant.
After all, Chen Fukuan and other Shu generals were all born as guilty generals.
Although Li Shimin has exonerated them of their guilt, the infamy still remains.
Chen Fukuan also wanted to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible, to prove himself and his brothers in the Shu Army.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian thought for a moment, and then said: "If you say so, then there is really something you need to do."
"It's just that this task is a bit difficult. I don't know if you are willing to do it."
Hearing this, Chen Fukuan felt happy.
"Your Highness, just ask."
"Even if His Highness asked me to go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon and go down to the five oceans to catch turtles, I would not even say "no"."
At this time, he only had one idea in mind, as long as he could go to the battlefield.
As for whether the task was difficult or not, it was completely out of his consideration.
As for Qiao, this guy was very confident in what he said. Li Chengqian curled up his lips and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then come here."
Seeing his mysterious look, Chen Fukuan couldn't help but pause.
But soon, he made up his mind and leaned next to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian whispered a few words softly in his ear.
And when he heard Li Chengqian's whisper, Chen Fukuan's expression couldn't help but change.
He also asked with hesitation: "Your Highness, are you sure?"
"Of course."
"Otherwise, wouldn't everything I said become nonsense?"
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Just say whether you are willing to do it or not."
"I am willing, I am definitely willing."
"As long as His Highness assigns tasks to the general, it will be fine."
After saying this, Chen Fukuan also cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said: "The general will go down first to prepare."
"go Go."
Li Chengqian waved his hand.
After Chen Fukuan left, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He put his hands into his sleeves, looked into the distance dreamily and said, "I've set up the stage for you. As for whether you can continue singing this scene, it all depends on how you, Zhao Youlin, perform."
…
the other side.
After several days of trekking.
Zhao Youlin and his group finally arrived at the middle section of the Secret Protection Department before the Angsa Army arrived.
After arriving here, some generals were a little puzzled by Zhao Youlin's operation.
One of them said directly: "Your Majesty, you really shouldn't listen to the nonsense of the Tang Prince."
"This place is one hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the Ansa Army."
"How could they retreat to this damn place?"
Another person also said: "That's right, maybe we will all be fooled by the man named Li this time."
"If you don't understand, don't speak."
"It's easy to make people laugh if you go out."
Hearing what these two people said to each other, Zhao Youlin was also a little unhappy.
He said to the crowd unceremoniously: "Do you think that Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will have no time to talk nonsense?"
"Even if you don't understand Ansa, don't you even look at the map?"
"The middle section of the Secret Protection Department is the only grassland and plain in the south of our territory..."
Although Zhao Youlin was not a military genius.
But he is better than having a brain.
Li Chengqian just told him once, and he figured out the key point.
As he said himself, the Ministry of Secret Protection is a plain slightly south of the Western Turks.
It’s not that there are abundant supplies here, but at least it’s much better than in the mountains.
In addition, the transportation here is very convenient.
To the north is the Western Turks, to the east is Tubo, to the west is Sasanian Persia, and to the south is the Baoxiang Kingdom.
This place is simply a treasure land tailor-made for invaders.
It can be said that as long as we get here.
No matter whether the Angsa Army wants to find a springboard to withdraw southward.
It's better to find a stronghold and wait for supplies before launching a counterattack.
As long as they want, no matter what.
And Zhao Youlin also knew clearly that if he didn't beat these Ansa people this time, it would be painful.
They will definitely make a comeback in the future.
While Angsa could come over at any time, Datang would not be able to help him every time.
If he didn't take advantage of Li Chengqian's presence to give him a good beating, he would definitely suffer a big loss in the future.
Of course, Li Chengqian also knew this.
That's why he asked Zhao Youlin to come over in advance.
Its purpose is nothing more than to intercept the Ansa Army for the last time.
If the interception cannot be successful here, then the Angsa Army will inevitably withdraw from the Western Turks.
But when you get outside, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. If you want to pursue them, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
