"Princess Ai? Why are you back? Where is your highness?"

When Ashina Ai appeared in front of Shi Wannian again, he was filled with worry except for being surprised.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, Li... the prince should have returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty at this time." Ashina Ayi replied.

Although they left Yancheng together, Ashina Ayi did not follow Li Chengqian and his party to go east to Yizhou, but went south to prepare to go to the residence arranged by Shi Wannian for their tribe.

A few days ago, Shi Wannian had already arranged this matter, and the people of the Ashina Ai tribe had moved there. After all, thousands of livestock could not eat the sand outside the city...

As for the place that Shi Wannian arranged for them, it was about two hundred miles south of Yancheng. It was originally a private territory of a nobleman in Yanqi. However, after learning that the Tang Dynasty was attacked, the nobleman had already escaped with his family. As for where he went, no one knew!

As for why Ashina Ayi returned to Yancheng so quickly, it was because she did not meet with the tribe as planned, but walked dozens of miles after leaving the city and returned!

She wanted to see which tribe the attacking Turkic army was from and who led it. If it were someone who knew her and who recognized her status as a princess, maybe she could stop this war!

Of course, unfortunately, although she was familiar with the attacking Turkic army and the other party must have known her, Ashina Ayi did not dare to appear at all, because it was the tribe of Yugusai, and the leader of the army was of course also Yugusai's confidant, and it was them who attacked their own tribe!

Seeing this situation, she knew that she was helpless, so she was about to join her tribe, but she didn't expect that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty appeared and directly defeated the 50,000 troops in Yugu. This made her remember what her father Khan said to her before she left...

"The united Turks will not fear the Tang Dynasty, or even the Tang Dynasty will fear the Turks! However, this does not mean that the Tang Dynasty is not as strong as the Turks, but we have taken advantage of the cavalry! Now that I, Turks, are falling apart, and there are many internal conflicts. Not to mention defeating the Tang Dynasty, there is no power to compete! Fighting to the Tang Dynasty is our only choice now!"

She now deeply understood what her father Khan meant. The power of the Tang Dynasty may only be able to compete with before the Turks split many years ago!

...

No matter what Ashina Ayi was thinking, Shi Wannian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her answer. Although the danger of the Turkic people was resolved, he did not want Li Chengqian to stay here. After all, his identity has been exposed. Who knows whether other countries in the Western Regions will take risks? Or if someone with ulterior motives will do anything that threatens Li Chengqian's safety.

Niu Jinda's 30,000 elite cavalry could not stay here to protect him. At the latest, he would go north to continue to join the battle with the main Turkic army. Without these 30,000 troops, Shi Wannian would not have the slightest determination to ensure Li Chengqian's safety!

"What's the matter with the princess here?" After confirming Li Chengqian's safety, Shi Wannian asked about the purpose of Ashina Ayi's arrival.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong, just... I just want to know the situation of my father Khan... I can at least learn about the war in the north in time when I stay with Uncle Shi." Asana Ayi said with a worried face.

Shi Wannian smiled slightly and comforted: "Princess, don't worry too much. Now that Your Highness returns to the Tang Dynasty, we have no worries. We will definitely be able to defeat Yugushe. Then you can return to the Turks..." It seemed that this was not enough to comfort Ashina Ai, who looked down on him. Shi Wannian continued to think about it for a moment, "Yugushe is not worthy of prestige and is unlikely to attack Dulu Khan. At most, it will be placed under house arrest. There will be no problem with personal safety."

"Really?" Ashina Ayi asked with anticipation while being surprised.

"Well, no matter how much Dulu Khan is, it was pushed out by all Turkic tribes. Before Yugu was supported by various tribes, he dared not do anything to Dulu Khan. After all, he does not have the strength to make all Turkic tribes respect him!"

"Then...that's great! As long as Father Khan is safe, it's safe!"

Ashina Ayi's excited expression made Shi Wannian smile slightly, thinking, this princess is really simple in her mind... Although according to common sense, the possibility of Yugushu killing Dulu Khan is very small, who can be sure that he will not really attack?

The reason why I say so affirmation is more just to comfort Ashina Ai!

...

At the foot of Langshan, after cleaning the battlefield, Li Jing was about to order the entire army to return to Yanqi, but received a letter from Shi Wannian. When he knew that Li Chengqian had returned to Yizhou, he completely let go of the big stone in his heart.

"General, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Yizhou, should we continue to go north next? To completely lift the threat of Turkic?"

Li Jing did not hesitate about Hou Junji's suggestion and nodded slightly and said, "Well, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe, Niu Jinda is also supported by Yancheng, and there is no worries. It is time to completely solve the problem of Turkic!"

There was no delay. With the issuance of military orders, tens of thousands of troops set out and headed straight for the hinterland of the Turks!

The Eastern Turks led by Jie Li have become history, and it is time for the Western Turks to become history!

...

The war in the west was beyond reach, and even relevant news had not been obtained, which made him suffer from insomnia all day and night. When he thought of Shi Wannian sending him away from Yancheng, his calm and firm expression and the three thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian's heart would twitch violently!

Finally, this tormented day ended on the third day after he arrived in Yizhou. The messenger sent by Shi Wannian brought the news that Niu Jinda defeated the Turkic army!

After understanding the entire battle situation in detail, Li Chengqian also had the same doubts as Shi Wannian, that is, why the Turkic army seemed so... without brains?

A good move made the Turks a dead end... It was really weird! If they were a Turk, they knew that the prince of the Tang Dynasty would have secretly entered the village in Yancheng and would not have to shoot a gun, how could they let others know the news in advance? Moreover, they would not attack the city as soon as possible after the siege, but instead siege the city leisurely. Didn't they think that there were 200,000 Tang troops in the north?

He didn't understand what the Turkic people were thinking, and Li Chengqian didn't worry too much. He was now thinking about another thing, that is, how did his identity be known by Yu Gu Shi?
