The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Chen? Late at night, Li Ruoshuang woke up from a nightmare.

He dreamed of Zhao Chen's back surrounded by the Tubo army on a hillside, with only a few dozen people left around him.

The Tubo army fired arrows at Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen was finally forced to jump off the cliff.

Mother? Xiao Ping'an was awakened by Li Ruoshuang. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Ruoshuang in confusion.

It's okay, you can continue to sleep. Li Ruoshuang comforted Xiao Ping'an, but there was worry that could not be wiped off his face.

It has been more than half a month since he separated from Zhao Chen, and he now has no news about Zhao Chen.

Moreover, Wu Xu also said that he would join forces with Tubo to deal with the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Ruoshuang feel even more dangerous.

Today's nightmare filled him with worry. At this moment, he desperately wanted to see Zhao Chen, but dozens of Gao Changguo guards were guarding the door, and he had no chance to leave.

It wasn't until dawn that Li Ruoshuang saw Wu Xu coming in from outside the hall.

What else are you doing here? This is the first time Wu Xu has come here in these days.

Li Ruoshuang both cherishes and hates Wu Xu.

If it weren't for the alliance between Wu Xu and Tubo, how could Niu Jinda's 30,000 defenders be trapped in the capital of Gaochang?

If there were these 30,000 troops, Tubo probably wouldn't have to expend so much effort.

But now...

I came over to see if Sister Ruoshuang is doing well. If you need anything, just tell me...

No, I don't want to see you! Li Ruoshuang interrupted Wu Xu.

Wu Xu was stunned, and nodded slightly with a wry smile: Niu Jinda and the others have food and drink in the city, you don't have to worry.

Li Ruoshuang didn't speak, but he felt relieved when he heard that nothing happened to Niu Jinda.

Then there was a long silence in the hall, and Wu Xu opened his mouth.

Seems like he wants to say something

Well, but in the end it turned into a long sigh, saluted Li Ruoshuang, turned around and left.

The door of the main hall was closed again, and a few dim lights shone on Li Ruoshuang's face, making it difficult to see any expression.

…

General where should we go now?

To the west of Yanmen Pavilion, the Tubo general looked at Luoxi in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

After chasing for a whole day, they failed to catch Zhao Chen, King of Han Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

At present, there are only a few dozen war horses left on the hillside, and there is no trace of half of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

No one would have thought that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty would be so decisive. Faced with the rain of arrows behind them, they would jump down the hillside without hesitation.

There were no more people visible under the rushing river, and they didn't know whether Zhao Chen's people were dead or alive.

Luo Xi also felt very confused at this moment. Now that the army granary was burned down, it was impossible for the 100,000 troops to stay here any longer. WeChat himself had no choice but to withdraw his troops immediately and meet up with Songtsan cadre headquarters.

But he didn't catch Zhao Chen, and the army's granary was burned. Will Songtsen Gampo let him go?

Losey was a little worried, but he had to make a choice after all.

How many more troops do we have? Losi asked the general on the side.

Reporting to the general, we have only about 30,000 people gathered at the moment, but there is not much food and grass left in the army. If we want to return to His Majesty's headquarters, we must find a way to raise food and grass, otherwise many people may starve to death on the road. The general. Replying to Losey's words.

They lost their granary and came to pursue Zhao Chen, so they brought almost no food and grass.

And they are now a thousand miles away from Songtsen

Bubenbu is at least hundreds of miles away, and this is all desert Gobi. It takes only seven or eight days to get there.

The remaining soldiers of Luoxi's army all looked worried, how could they go back without food.

Looking at the leader, Luo Xi, many people had angry looks on their faces.

One hundred thousand of them were killed by the Tang Dynasty's 10,000 cavalry, and even the granaries were burned down.

There were only 30,000 people left in the 100,000-strong army. Even the Prime Minister Ludongzan sent by Songtsan's cadres was killed by the Tang cavalry. If Luo Xi had not listened to dissuasion, how could such a thing have happened?

Losi also clearly noticed something was wrong with the way the soldiers looked at him. He also knew that this time it was all because of his wrong decision-making that led to the army's defeat.

It was him who caught Zhao Chen. Songtsen Gampo would definitely not say anything, but the problem was that Zhao Chen didn't catch him either, not even a Tang cavalryman.

If Songtsen Gampo knew this, why not chop him alive?

Second order, Zhao Chen, chased by our army, had committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Zhao Chen's body was found under the cliff. It had been broken into pieces. Therefore, the body was not brought back to lead Zhao Chen's bloody horses. Go back and hand it over to Your Majesty! Luo Xi turned around and said to the general beside him.

At the moment, he had only one way. If he didn't tell Songtsen Gampo that he had killed Zhao Chen when he returned home, then it would definitely be him, Luo Xi, who died.

Although Zhao Chen's body was not found, and he was not even sure whether Zhao Chen was dead or not, Luo Xi thought to himself, is it possible to survive after jumping from such a height?

Moreover, Songtsen Gampo himself didn’t know whether Zhao Chen was dead or not. He even brought Zhao Chen’s bloody horse back. How could Zhao Chen survive?

The plan for now is to save your own life first.

The generals around him also instantly understood Luo Xi’s intentions.

He nodded repeatedly: What the general said is true, and my subordinates understand!

After leading dozens of Tang Dynasty war horses away, the mighty Luoxi army slowly returned the way they came.

…

General, there is no trace of His Highness the King of Han!

Only on a hillside, traces of a large number of cavalry were found. Behind the hillside is a fast-flowing river. We suspect...

Li Jing was sitting in the central military tent, listening to the reports of his generals. His heart thumped again, and his face immediately fell.

He understood what the general meant. Zhao Chen must have been chased by Luo Xi's army to the hillside, and then jumped into the river with no way out.

Send someone to search. No matter what, we must find His Highness the King of Han.

General, the river is very fast, and it is very steep here. The soldiers cannot get down at all. There are also high mountains on the other side of the river, and there is no way to get down to the river!

I don't care. If you want to see people alive or dead, you must find His Highness the King of Han. Li Jing's irritable voice came from the Chinese army tent.

The generals under his command did not care about anything else and sent a large number of soldiers to search for the place where the Tang cavalry last disappeared.

But ten days later, they still couldn't find any trace of Zhao Chen. They only found several corpses of Tang Dynasty cavalry that fell on the edge of the cliff.

Li Jing's face was full of sorrow. He had no idea how he should report this matter to Chang'an now.

Zhao Chen was neither alive nor dead, so if the emperor knew about it, how could he not be angry?

But even if the emperor was angry, Li Jing still had to send the news back to Chang'an.

Your Majesty Li Jing is unworthy of His grace. In the battle of Yanmen Pavilion, His Highness the King of Han led 10,000 cavalry to defeat the 100,000 defenders of Luoxi, burned their granaries, and beheaded tens of thousands. However, God failed to catch him, and His Highness the King of Han was pursued by the Luoxi army...
