"Three Princess..."

Wang Zhongchang still wanted to speak, but Yaomeiniang said, "Didn't your highness say that you should not report Shuofang's military information, let him be idle for a few days!"

"No" Wang Zhongchang agreed, but his face looked very anxious, as if he was impatient.

The game between Li Ke and Su Dingfang was still not decided until the evening.

"Your Highness, we can only discuss this game of chess in harmony!" Su Dingfang said.

"Well, both sides are indeed defeated, so they can only be judged by playing chess!" Li Ke also smiled faintly, and found that Wang Zhongchang, who was slightly anxious behind him, asked with concern, "Wang Zhongchang, are you uncomfortable there? Why are you sweating so much? Come and see the doctor!"

"Your Highness, something big happened!" Wang Zhongchang said anxiously when he saw that Li Ke had finished playing chess.

"What big deal can happen?" Li Ke asked.

"Your Highness, Li Ji's 150,000 army has lost contact with the baggage army!" said Wang Zhongchang.

"How many days have Li Ji set out?" Li Ke asked.

"It's been ten days!" Su Dingfang replied.

"Ten days?" Li Ke repeated, "Only riding alone can only bring dry food for five days. Li Ji did not contact the baggage army for ten days, which means that his army has been out of food for five days?"

"Yeah, this should be the case?" Su Dingfang said affirmatively.

"There is something strange about this!" Li Ke said lightly, "Dingfang, please give me some instructions!"

"Your Highness, although Tuyuhun claims to have 400,000 string control men, the ones who can really fight are only between 200,000. The other 200,000 are not trained enough and have no good weapons and armor. The combat effectiveness is definitely not good and strong. In this case, Wang Zhongchang won three battles in three battles and annihilated about 80,000 Tuyuhun's army. Judging from the strength and record of Wang Zhongchang's 50,000 iron cavalry, what he encountered was Tuyuhun's best fighting cavalry. That is to say, even if Xue Li and Yuwen Guo defeated Tuyuhun's cavalry with weak combat power, then their most powerful cavalry was only 120,000 left. Facing Li Ji's army of 150,000, Li Ji would remain unbeaten even if he could not win!" Su Ding analyzed to Li Ke.

"So, do you think this can be a trick to doubt the enemy?" Li Ke asked, "The purpose is to deceive the other party?"

"The last general thinks that with Li Ji's ability to lead the troops, he will not be defeated when facing Tuyuhun cavalry, which is much less than his own,!" Su Dingfang asked back.

"I think so too! It's probably another plan by Li Ji!" Li Ke said affirmatively.

The unification of his opinions with Su Dingfang both believed that Li Ji was able to defeat Tuyuhun even if he could not defeat Tuyuhun when he led a 150,000 army. Furthermore, Li Ke also knew that in history, the Tang Dynasty had a one-sided battle against Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty solved the battle with great destruction. Therefore, he felt that the Tang Dynasty's military strength was stronger than in history, and Li Ji would definitely not have any problems in attacking the Tang Dynasty.

After the two analyzed this, Wang Zhongchang, who was standing aside, looked a little embarrassed. He knew that he was shocked!

Seeing Wang Zhongchang's embarrassing look, Li Ke smiled and said, "You go and prepare, we will go back to Taiyuan tomorrow!"

"Your Highness, are you going to go back to Taiyuan so soon?" Su Dingfang also asked, not expecting that Li Ke would decide to return to Taiyuan with this thought.

"It's almost the end of October. Today I will definitely go back to Chang'an for the New Year. Let's go back to deal with and arrange military affairs early!" Li Ke said confidently. He is now the legitimate son and the queen's parent-child. Naturally, there is no need for the illegitimate prince before. Returning to Beijing is no longer subject to much restrictions. Besides, there is Li Zhi who is most favored by Li Shimin. If Li Zhi wants to return to Chang'an, can he be left behind? So, after combining these two points, Li Ke said so sure!

"Then I will see Your Highness off at the end of tomorrow!" Su Dingfang said.

"Okay!" Li Ke said, "Then you go back first! Military affairs are important, no need to accompany me anymore!"

"No, I will say goodbye!" Su Dingfang left the study.

"Your Highness, are you really going back tomorrow?" Wu Meiniang asked.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go back?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Mei Niang just doesn't know how to tell Sister Yun and Sister Bing!" When Wu Meiniang said this, her little face turned red, revealing her little daughter's shyness.

"It's nothing, just say that!" Li Ke was very free and easy.

"Yeah!" Wu Meiniang nodded obediently.

The next day, Li Ke's horse team left Youzhou.

Li Ke and Su Dingfang rode together, and the two were still talking about what strategy Li Ji used this time, even though they separated the army and the escorts, and lost contact.

However, during the discussion between the two, a rapid sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the official Scripture.

Looking up, he saw a fast horse coming towards Li Ke's convoy. The horse knight was wearing black clothes and black armor, obviously a soldier from Li Ke's Taiyuan Eagle Guard.

"Your Highness, Shuofang urgent military information!" The Eagle Guard cavalry jumped off the horse's back when they were one hundred steps away from Li Ke, quickly came to Li Ke, and handed a report to Li Ke.

When Li Ke saw the envelope, he knew it was a top secret, a 600-mile emergency letter!

When Li Ke opened the envelope, he saw the content on the letter, and his face suddenly turned gloomy and terrible.

"Your Highness--" Su Dingfang shouted softly.

"Zhi Niang Bidder, the Tuyuhun army attacked the convoy that escorted grain and supplies. Five thousand Tang soldiers were wiped out. The grain and grass for 150,000 troops to eat for a month were robbed and scattered!" Li Ke said fiercely.

"Li Ji won't use troops like this, right?" Su Dingfang said in confusion.

"Dingfang, no need to send it. I will go back to Taiyuan now!" Li Ke was not worried about this issue and said to Su Dingfang.
