Chapter 2307 I have made up my mind
"Your Highness Prince Ji is going?"
Hearing Li Shen's words, Han Wei widened his eyes in shock, but then immediately shook his head:
"Your Highness Prince Ji cannot be used. I will go to rescue you. The situation ahead is dangerous. If anything happens to Your Highness Prince Ji, I cannot bear the consequences.
If His Royal Highness Prince Ji wishes to serve the court, then please stay in Yuanqu Town to guard it."
Prince Ji must not be in any danger. These people came here to survive, and they cannot disobey the emperor's order.
But King Ji came here just to experience life, or perhaps to get some gold plating.
Otherwise, you will hear that the commander-in-chief of any team does not follow the army and just puts his name on it.
Even he, the pioneer, didn't know about this.
If something happened to Prince Ji, I would probably lose my life.
"Please bring the news here first, and I will ask you about it in detail." Li Shen did not say anything else.
The instability of the new king of Yanqi was caused by himself, so he should do something.
Moreover, in his opinion, staying in Yuanqu Chenghe was just as dangerous as going to the front line.
Would the King of Yanqi attack Han Wei after he left because he wanted to annex Yanqi?
Yanqi also has a lot of soldiers and horses.
Instead of being on guard here every day, it is better to fight at the front. At least you can tell who the enemy is at a glance.
Soon, a barbarian soldier was brought in.
"This is His Royal Highness Prince Ji. His Royal Highness has something to ask you. You must answer it well."
Han Wei said to the barbarian soldier, fearing that he would offend King Ji.
"Yes, yes." When the barbarian soldiers heard that it was King Ji, they immediately nodded and saluted.
Their tribe was very familiar with Prince Ji's Palace. Most of their livestock, fur and special products were traded with Prince Ji's Palace.
In exchange for daily necessities such as food, tea, wine, cloth, and salt.
The tribesmen no longer have to starve or freeze to death.
In the past, people had to run around for food, but now they can just raise cattle and sheep on a ranch.
These tribes were very grateful to Prince Ji's Mansion, but they heard that Prince Ji was the incarnation of an evil spirit and was cruel and ruthless.
Under the suppression of Prince Ji's Mansion, Chebi Kingdom began to collapse in just a few months.
The reason was that Chebi Khan did not go to Chang'an to pay homage, so Prince Ji's Mansion began to suppress Chebi Kingdom. After the collapse,
The Tang Dynasty also ordered Gao Kan to mobilize troops from the Uighurs, Pugu and other tribes to attack the Chebi Kingdom. As a result, the army did not lose a single soldier. As soon as the army entered the Chebi Kingdom, the various tribes came to surrender one after another.
The leader of Chebi Kingdom also surrendered and was escorted to Chang'an. The Tang Dynasty court established Lizhou in its original place and governed it. From then on, there was no Chebi Kingdom.
If there had not been suppression from Prince Ji's Mansion, Chebi Kingdom would not have been defeated so quickly.
In Tiele, a popular saying among the tribes is that you can make a deal with evil ghosts and you will get more, but you must never deal with evil ghosts, as they will make you die miserably.
Seeing the strange look in the barbarian soldier's eyes, Li Shen didn't understand what he meant, so he just asked calmly:
"Tell me the details. Why did the Western Turks suddenly join the war? And how is Guo Xiaoke doing now?"
"Your Highness Prince Ji, General Ashina defeated Kucha and captured the King of Kucha alive, but their Prime Minister Nali managed to escape.
Nali secretly colluded with the Western Turks and, under the cover of the Kucha people, suddenly attacked the city of Yiluolu. General Guo led over a thousand troops to defend the city, but Nali had already closed the city gates with the help of the Hu soldiers.
"Wait?" Li Shen interrupted the report just after this.
“You mean Guo Xiaoke has been outside the city the whole time, and only wanted to return after the Western Turks arrived?
Shouldn't he be in the city?" Li Shen felt a little strange.
To guard a city, one must naturally guard it inside the city, not set up camp outside.
Even if there were no foreign troops, wasn't he afraid that the Hu soldiers in the city would rebel and lock them outside the city?
Even Li Shen, who knew nothing, knew that he should stay in the city and be ready to control the nobles and high-ranking officials at any time to prevent them from rebellion.
Hearing Li Shen's words, the barbarian soldier quickly explained:
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, General Guo was stationed outside the city of Yiluolu when a Kucha man warned him that the Grand Chancellor Nali had led the Western Turkic troops to attack.
But General Guo did not take it seriously. When the Western Turkic army approached, General Guo believed it and led more than a thousand soldiers to enter the city.
But it was too late at this time. Nali had already contacted the surrendered Hu soldiers and joined forces with Nali.
The situation was urgent, so General Guo asked me to come to Yuanqu City for help, which was closer to Yuanqu City.
I hope the Han army will leave quickly."
"Hmph, so arrogant! One incompetent general can truly bring ruin to the entire army. How did Guo Xiaoke become a general?"
Hearing that Guo Xiaoke didn't care, Li Shen snorted coldly and said angrily.
Everyone told you that the enemy was coming, but Guo Xiaoke didn't take it seriously.
"Where is General Cao Jishu?" Han Wei asked hurriedly after hearing this. Cao Jishu was the General of the Right Guard and had some friendship with him.
"General Cao is also stationed outside the city." The barbarian soldier replied.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, the situation is urgent. I must immediately gather troops and rush to Yiluolu City for a rescue. I entrust this matter to Your Highness, Prince Ji."
Han Wei bowed deeply. He actually knew that because of Prince Ji, the new King of Yanqi had rebelled.
But the same thing goes, military orders are as heavy as mountains.
Li Shen did not answer, but asked the officers and soldiers:
"How many troops attacked you?"
"Your Highness Prince Ji, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but I don't know the exact number." The barbarian soldier replied.
Li Shen nodded after hearing this. Ten thousand troops were not too many and could still be handled.
Two or three thousand Tang Dynasty soldiers could defeat these people, not to mention their own reinforced guard battalion.
"You go down first and have a rest." Li Shen waved his hand.
The barbarians were taken away.
"Your Highness Prince Ji..."
Han Wei wanted to say something else but was stopped by Li Shen.
"Alright, you stay here and I'll lead the troops. The troops in Yuanqu City are not as numerous as my guard battalion."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he turned around and gave Xue Rengui an order:
"Rengui, gather the guards immediately, pack your bags, take your supplies, and be ready to depart in half an hour."
"Yes, I obey your command." After saying that, Xue Rengui immediately retreated.
"General Han, be on guard against Xianna's rebellion, and tell those nobles more about the benefits of Chang'an City."
After arranging everything, Li Shen began to explain to Han Wei.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji, I will definitely complete the tasks Your Highness has assigned me. However, does Your Highness Prince Ji really want to go to Kucha?
I think it's better to let me go." Han Wei nodded and suggested.
He was really worried that something might happen to Prince Ji. Although the 3,000 guards in the battalion were indeed more than the number of people he brought.
But what if something happens to Prince Ji?
"Alright, I've made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more. Just complete what I've asked you to do.
Especially the teams transporting food and fodder to the rear, their safety must be guaranteed."
Li Shen frowned and said with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
