The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

A month passed quietly.

In Prince Han's Mansion in Chang'an City, Zhao Chen slammed the door behind him with no expression on his face.

After all, he has never defeated Li Ruoshuang. This time when he goes to Gaochang, Zhao Chen will take Li Ruoshuang and his daughter with him.

Zhao Chen didn't know why, but there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

He didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it was probably because Li Ruoshuang and his daughter went to Gaochang with him, which made him feel a little stressed. .??.

The emperor had already said goodbye to Zhao Chen last night. Although Empress Changsun was reluctant to say goodbye, she could not change the emperor's determination.

I could only wave to Zhao Chen with tears in my eyes, telling him to be careful outside and come back safely.

Niu Jinda is accompanying Zhao Chen on this expedition. Although he can no longer go to the battlefield, there is still no problem in helping Zhao Chen with advice.

Moreover, even Li Ruoshuang and her daughter went with them, so it was not a good experience for Niu Jinda to stay alone in the Han Palace.

Putting on the armor again, Niu Jinda's eyes were filled with brilliance.

Zhao Chen, why do you look so depressed? Niu Jinda asked Zhao Chen with a smile while riding on his horse.

Zhao Chen looked back at Li Ruoshuang and Xiao Ping'an behind him, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Don't worry, we have two batches of reinforcements with 100,000 troops. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has strong troops and advanced weapons. Even if Songtsan Gampo has an army of 200,000 troops, we have nothing to fear.

I'll take them to play this time. Don't worry too much! Niu Jinda comforted Zhao Chen with a smile.

Zhao Chen just nodded slightly.

Many times he is not as cheerful as others see him.

In matters of life and death, he could only be more cautious.

Let's go! Zhao Chen waved his hand gently, and the army slowly began to move forward.

Fifty thousand men and horses quickly left Chang'an City.

Your Majesty, they are all gone! No one expected that on the tower of Chang'an City, the emperor and Empress Changsun were standing here, looking at the direction where the army disappeared from a distance.

Queen Changsun's eyes were also sour, looking at the direction where the army disappeared with reluctance.

Yes, if what is expected is true, this time will be my last battle in the Tang Dynasty. I hope they can return safely. The emperor said slowly, but his eyes were full of determination.

Yesterday, news came from Shacheng that the Tang border troops led by Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo, after more than a month of hard fighting, severely damaged the Yuan Gaisuwen army that came to attack the city.

Yuan Gaisuwen's army has now withdrawn as quickly as possible and does not dare to compete with the Tang Dynasty border army.

After a while, the Tang border troops, who were fighting thousands of miles away, could slowly withdraw to the territory of Datang.

The war with Goguryeo was basically over.

Has Your Majesty thought about how to deal with Wu Xu? Queen Changsun suddenly asked.

The emperor was speechless for a moment. He really didn't think about how to deal with Wu Xu.

Even though a month has passed, he still has not made a final decision.

The emperor was worried that Wu Xu would disrupt the government, but he was also afraid that killing Wu Xu would make Zhao Chen unhappy.

Mr. Guanyin, after we capture Gaochang this time and repel Tubo, I plan to abdicate and pass the throne to Zhao Chen.

After so many years, I have done everything I should do. From now on, I will leave it to the young people. The emperor let out a long sigh, as if he was sighing for the power he was about to give up, and he seemed to be sighing for the successors of the Tang Dynasty. Happy to have someone.

Your Majesty has really decided? Empress Changsun looked at the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor in front of him is not too greedy for power, but he is in middle age.

Empress Changsun also felt it was a pity to give up the throne at such a young age.

Of course it has been decided. Our generation is getting old, and it's time for their young people to make their debut.

Let's go back to the palace. After the emperor said this, he once again looked at the long-lost reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty and slowly walked down the tower.

…

Along the way, Xiaopingan was very curious about the scenery along the way.

Whenever he had a break, he would take Zhao Chen and take him around for a walk.

Li Ruoshuang's mood has obviously improved a lot. When she looks at Zhao Chen and Xiao Ping'an, a smile appears on her lips unconsciously.

For some reason, Li Ruoshuang always felt sad when Zhao Chen said he would lead the army to Gaochang this time.

It was indescribably sad, as if Zhao Chen left this time, and if he didn't follow him, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

So no matter what Zhao Chen said or explained, Li Ruoshuang was determined to follow Zhao Chen to Gaochang.

It wasn't that he wasn't worried that Xiaoping would be in danger if he followed him to Gaochang, but Li Ruoshuang felt that he couldn't regret it for the rest of his life.

But he did not inform Zhao Chen about this.

Are you worried about anything? Zhao Chen came back with Xiao Ping'an in his arms and saw a flash of worry in Li Ruoshuang's eyes.

No. Li Ruoshuang shook his head.

No need to lie to me, there is something on your mind hidden in your eyes.

You are worried that I will never come back. Zhao Chen said softly, looking at Li Ruoshuang with a smile.

A trace of panic flashed in Li Ruoshuang's eyes.

Just as he was about to explain something to Zhao Chen, he was hugged by Zhao Chen: Don't think too much, we will all return safely.

Li Ruoshuang didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

The army continues to move forward, but

No troubles were encountered, and the governments along the way also provided sufficient support.

All the way to the northwest, across the plains and over the mountains, the scenery before me changes from vast green to long stretches of yellow sand.

More than half a month later, the Tang reinforcements led by Zhao Chen had arrived at the border of Gaochang Kingdom.

After one day's march, we reached the territory of Gaochang Kingdom.

The liaison soldiers sent by Li Jing also came to Zhao Chen.

This villain is Zhang San, a soldier under the command of Duke Wei. I'm here to pay my respects to His Highness the King of Han! The liaison soldier prostrated himself in front of Zhao Chen.

Get up. Zhao Chen waved his hand, signaling Zhang San to get up and talk.

How is Duke Wei doing, and how is the situation with the border troops? Zhao Chen asked directly about the situation of Li Jing and the first batch of reinforcements.

Everything is well, Mr. Wei. Our border is facing a confrontation with the main force of 100,000 Tibetan troops at a place called Yanmen Pavilion.

Gong Wei would like to ask His Highness the King of Han to lead an army to attack the main force of Tibet from the west of Yanmen Pavilion. Zhang San said, and took out Li Jing's autographed letter.

Yanmen Pavilion is about two hundred miles away from the capital of Gaochang.

It is a place where mountains and plains are mixed.

But it is also one of the only ways to enter Gaochang Kingdom.

If the Tubo wanted to invade Gaochang, they would have to climb thousands of meters of mountains and enter Gaochang from the north if they did not pass through Yanmen Pavilion.

The Tang Dynasty's border army only had 50,000 troops. For the Tubo Lord, who had an army of 100,000, a hasty attack would most likely result in more losses than gains.

This time Zhao Chen led 50,000 Tang Dynasty reinforcements. Li Jing wanted to take this opportunity to attack and break through the 100,000 troops.

If it succeeds, the crisis in Gaochang will be lifted instantly.

Even if it fails, it can still deter the Tibetan army to a certain extent.

When you go back and send the letter, just say I understand. Zhao Chen closed the letter and nodded.
