Chapter 850 Li Chengqian escaped

Compared with the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers in Li Ji's hands, Li Chengqian felt that the thousands of attendants in his hands were dishes. As long as what he did was exposed, Li Ji's thoughts would lead to danger. This is why Li Chengqian was always cautious and even as a prince, even as a prince, even to capture a small general, had to do everything possible to frame him.

Although Li Ji was respectful to himself, he had never missed etiquette throughout his journey. He would inform him of any major decision in advance and do his best to create various conditions for him, the prince who can earn military merits.

However, Li Chengqian knew in his heart that although Li Ji was respectful on the outside and could act in detail, his loyalty was always in Chang'an, with his father. In addition to being the prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Ji's respectful performance throughout the journey was not only because he was the prince of the Eastern Palace, but more importantly, his mother and Fang Xuanling's face and instructions.

Li Chengqian was sure that Li Ji was wary of himself. Although the two spies sent by Gongsun Helan were not instructed by Li Ji, Li Chengqian knew that as the head coach of the first army, Li Ji would not be unaware of such a thing. His uncontrollable and inaction had completely expressed his position.

What's more, even if Li Ji was not wary of him, Li Chengqian did not think that Li Ji could tolerate what he was doing now, colluding with the enemy and treason, and handing his soldiers under the enemy's butcher's knife. Sometimes, even Li Chengqian himself could not completely forgive himself, but in order to avenge his wife and children, and to kill Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin who could not kill immediately even if he became an emperor, Li Chengqian had to stand up and take the risk and cooperate with his former father-in-law.

Of course, there are also many reasons why he is not trusted by his father and supported by his ministers. Even if he has many military achievements, it is hopeless to ascend the throne. In short, Li Chengqian believes that with the army of more than 100,000 Hou Junji's army is watching, and with him, the prince of the army who can get in touch with all the secrets of the battle strategy, and with the forces accumulated by Li Chengqian in the court over the past decade, they are not unavailable to conquer Chang'an City.

After all, the military supplies of the Tang Dynasty are not rich now, and the soldiers stationed in the prefectures and counties in the territory are far from as well-dressed and capable as imagined. As long as Hou Junji's troops can break through Yumen Pass, and then follow the example of the Turkic tribes that invaded the Tang Dynasty, snatch material from the pass and use war to support the war. Not to mention it for a long time, as long as it can be delayed for a year or two, it may not be like the Weishui Alliance signed by Jie Li and the Tang Dynasty.

You should know that Jie Li led only only 200,000 soldiers back then. Others could directly defeat Chang'an with military strength of 200,000 or even less than 200,000, and force a hero like his father to submit. Why couldn't he? Why couldn't he, Li Chengqian? With peerless generals like Hou Junji and tens of thousands of soldiers supported by Gaochang Kingdom, why couldn't he take a gamble?

Li Chengqian sat peacefully in the tent, waiting quietly, and successfully taking Gongsun Helan, the matter was half done. Now everything should be done, and the time is missing. As long as the agreed time comes, Fang Zixing will open the city gate. When the inside and outside are in harmony, Yumen Pass will be destroyed without attacking, and they will be one step closer to Chang'an.

"Your Highness," Fang De, the eunuch general who was promoted by Li Chengqian because of Li Qing's accidental death, hurried in from outside the tent and bent over and reported: "General Li Zhen came to recommend Gongsun Helan to come back for trial under the order of the general. The guard Li was a little unable to resist and asked the villain to come over to ask His Highness for instructions."

"Did you notice it so quickly?" Knowing that this was a test by Li Ji, Li Chengqian's expression changed slightly. He did not make any suggestions on the incident that Fang De mentioned. Instead, he asked Fang De a little irrelevantly: "When is it now?"

"Uh?" Fang De was stunned, but he still replied with a quick scream: "Go back to Your Highness, and in another moment, it will be midnight."

"Is there a moment?" Li Chengqian's heart calmed down and gave a low voice to Fang De below, saying, "You go and say to Li Jing, don't refuse, don't agree, try your best to drag them until midnight."

"Yes, it's Your Highness!" He looked up at their highness with some surprise. Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was not good, Fang De quickly lowered his head and carefully withdrew from the tent.

"Zhao Fang, Zhao Yuan!" After Fang De withdrew from the camp, Li Chengqian no longer had his calm expression before. He stood up from the couch with some eagerness and called the Zhao brothers who had been guarding each other closely into the camp. He ordered in a deep voice: "Li Ji has become suspicious. This place is no longer a place to stay for a long time. Now you will quietly leave the camp with the lonely and go to the city gate to meet with Commander Fang."

Anyway, most of the guards in the camp have been sent to the city gate to replace the city defense. The current prince's camp is empty, and it is useless to keep it more. Moreover, if Li Zhen goes crazy and really leads his troops into the camp, most of the guards in the camp will be missing. Wouldn't he, the prince, be in a passive position?

"Yes, Your Highness!" The Zhao brothers bowed and responded, protecting Li Chengqian from the tent.

At Yumen Pass, the city gate, with Li Ji's command arrows, Gao Yue had already led his troops to secretly take down the prince's guards who were responsible for guarding the city, leaving only Fang Zixing, who was directly under the city gate and his few deputy officers, and secretly monitored their every move.

When Li Chengqian and the other two arrived at the city gate, Fang Zixing and his party were still unaware of it. They walked back and forth at the city gate. After a while, they looked at the hourglass not far away. Fang Zixing and several adjutants were inevitably nervous and nervous. As a soldier in the Tang Dynasty, they were doing the act of betraying the Tang Dynasty. Although this was a strict order from the prince and they had to obey, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong in front." Seeing Li Chengqian seeing Fang Zixing and his party, he wanted to go there quickly. Zhao Fang, who was walking in front, grabbed him and hid carefully in a shadow with Zhao Yuan, and looked at the city gate carefully.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Seeing Zhao Fang and the others so nervous, Li Chengqian also raised his head and looked at the city gate. That's right, it was Fang Zixing and his party who didn't see anything wrong?

"There is an ambush!" After looking around, Zhao Fang whispered to Li Chengqian: "There are a large number of soldiers surrounding them, and we are going to go there now, and it is very rare."

"Is it Li Ji's person?" Li Chengqian's heart tightened and asked involuntarily.

"It's not like the guards in the palace." Zhao Yuan replied softly, giving Li Chengqian a positive answer.

"Li Ji is a big deal!" Knowing that the plan has failed completely, Li Chengqian punched the city wall hard and ordered Zhao Fang in a deep voice: "Zhao Fang, now you can find a way to go out of the city to report the situation in the city to General Hou, and then said that the plan was exposed. Li Ji intended to use the plan and set up an ambush in the city. Whether to fight or retreat, let General Hou decide by himself!"

"But, your highness's safety..." Zhao Fang hesitated a little, and the city wall could not stop him, but their master was injured and could not move. With only Zhao Yuan on the side guard, I'm afraid it would be a bit incomplete.

"It's okay to have Zhao Yuan by his side." Li Chengqian shook his head lightly and said, "After tonight, there will be no more Gu's place in the army. In the next few days, before the Yumen Pass is broken, Gu and Zhao Yuan will hide their names in the civilian market. I just hope that the general can break the city as soon as possible and help me."

"So, the villain is gone now. Take care of your highness!" He bowed and said goodbye to Li Chengqian, and then explained to Zhao Yuan a few more words. Then Zhao Fang quickly left.

At the same time, the prince's Yingpan was pushed by Li Jing for a long time. Li Zhen was already impatient. He pulled out his knife from his waist and said to Li Jing sternly: "I'll ask you another question, or not?!"

"General Li is not because he refused to hand over the last general, but because the prince has a strict order to personally seek justice for General Li Qing. Gongsun Helan cannot let go of it easily." Seeing Li Zhen's fierce look, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Jing's face. He knew that if he could not reach an agreement, this man would really be able to do it.

"So, don't you hand over it?" Li Zhen glared at his eyes, his hand holding the knife tightened, and he also stepped forward and was closer to Li Jing.

"It's not the last general," Li Jing was forced to take a step back again and continued, "As long as the crown prince agrees, the last general dares not stop him. But now the crown prince has just stopped and will not see any guests. What would it be better for General Li to wait until tomorrow?"

"Wait until tomorrow? Wait for your mother, let me go!" Seeing that Li Jing was still Mo Mo refused to give way, Li Zhen slapped the person aside, raised the gold medal arrow given by Li Ji with one hand, and shouted loudly: "The general has an order, take Gongsun Helan back to the camp for trial. Anyone who intends to block it will be killed!"

"Search for me!" Li Zhen waved his hand and his soldiers began to sweep around the camp.

"You!" Li Zhen raised his hand and pointed at Li Jing who was slapped to the ground by himself, and said, "Now take me to the prince's tent. I personally explain to His Highness that even if I have any guilt, it will be all on my head."

"This, this," Li Jing refused, but when he saw Li Zhen slap again, he had to nod and said, "General Li, please follow us in the future."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is gone! Your Highness the Crown Prince is gone!" As soon as the party entered the camp, they saw the new eunuch Fang De, who was panicked and ran from the largest tent in the middle, shouting screaming, as if he was a devil.

"Absent?!" Li Zhen's expression also changed. Could it be that Li Chengqian was not aware that the matter was exposed and fled for fear of the crime? Li Zhen rushed into the prince's camp and saw that it was indeed empty inside. Prince Li Chengqian was indeed missing.
