At this time, Datang's Youwuwei army was marching rapidly.

Cheng Yaojin, who received Li Shimin's order, knew that the matter was urgent, so he simply left the supplies and the auxiliary barracks, and he and Niu Jinda led the cavalry and infantry to advance lightly.

It took only two days to advance 150 miles. This speed is not bad, but even so, Cheng Yaojin still felt dissatisfied.

"Haste makes waste. Even if we rush all the way there, we will be unable to meet His Royal Highness King Qin, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Looking at his old partner, Cheng Yaojin sighed: "Hey, I naturally understand this. But as long as I meet King Qin a moment earlier, my heart can be relieved a moment earlier."
"Old Niu, I don't need to say how important this King Qin is to the Tang Dynasty and the court. If something really happens, His Majesty will never mind using the entire grassland to be buried with King Qin."
"Of course I understand this, and I too... Hey, forget it, I'll go to the former army right now."
Niu Jinda sighed, and didn't intend to persuade him, because he knew that what Cheng Yaojin said was fine.

If something really happened to His Royal Highness King Qin, then the entire Youwuwei would follow suit from top to bottom, and none of them would be able to escape.

If that's the case, it might as well be a fight.

Just as Niu Jinda was about to leave the camp, he saw a soldier running in panting: "General, there is a woman who wants to see you. She claims to be sent by His Highness King Qin to ask for help. Besides, she has a woman with her, go and see Bar."
In any case, news is better than no news.

Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda looked at each other and rushed out of the tent.

The woman who came was Li Shu. She hardly rested on the way, she only cared about heading east until she met You Wuwei.

"Who are you,"
"I am the personal guard of King Qin Li Wenbin, this is a token." Li Shu took out the badge of Prince Qin's residence from his pocket and handed it over.

The waist card was given to her by Li Wenbin, which was also a temporary identity for Li Shu to act cheaply.

After examining the badge carefully, Niu Jinda nodded: "It is indeed the badge of Prince Qin's mansion, so what about Prince Qin, where is he?"
"My lord stayed behind to stop the Turkic army. It is said that Jieli Khan personally led [-] troops and was chasing after my lord. When I left, my lord had already led the army to attack."
"What, Jieli leads [-] soldiers himself? How many people are there beside the King of Qin?"
"When I left, the prince still had two hundred riders by his side."
"What, two hundred riders?"
Niu Jinda almost cried out when he heard this, and Cheng Yaojin was also frightened, and waved his hand: "Old Niu, I will lead the cavalry first, and you will lead the infantry to catch up."
"Girl, please lead the way and take this old man to rescue King Qin."
"No problem, by the way, this is the daughter of former Sui Yicheng and Shibi Khan, Ashinamin. The prince asked me to bring her back. The prince said that this woman is very important."
Cheng Yaojin was rough but subtle, so he naturally understood Princess Yicheng's status in the grassland and Ashina's family, so he ordered someone to send her back to Yanzhou, and by the way, tell Wei Zheng what happened here.

However, within a quarter of an hour, You Wuwei was ready. Five thousand cavalry, led by Cheng Yaojin, rushed to the grassland as quickly as possible to support Li Wenbin.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin didn't care about maintaining his strength and preventing being attacked by the Turks. For him, as long as he could bring Li Wenbin back to Datang with his beard and shadow, it would be a great achievement.

As long as this goal can be achieved, it is worthwhile for the entire Youwuwei to die.

Li Shu stayed on the horse for several days in a row, and her physical strength had almost reached its limit. The horse was crumbling, but even so, she still managed to support it.

According to the time when she came, it was about four days' journey, but Cheng Yaojin and others insisted on snatching two days' time with their rapid march regardless of losses.

They came to the camp where Li Wenbin first met the Turkic army. Looking at the empty camp and the unburied corpses of the Turks, Cheng Yaojin was expressionless.

Judging from these corpses, almost all belonged to Turks, and he did not find Tang Jun's corpse.

In the camp, no flags or armor weapons belonging to the Tang army were found.

Could it be that they did not capture a single prisoner?

When he was wondering, the sentry cavalry suddenly sent a police training.

"General, there are tens of thousands of Turkic troops ahead, all of them are cavalry."
"Assemble the army, meet the enemy!"
Cheng Yaojin led a total of 5000 cavalry, and he divided [-] from the flanks to continue looking for Li Wenbin, while he took the remaining [-] cavalry to meet this Turkic army.

Of course he knew that only [-] cavalry could not compete with tens of thousands of Turkic troops, but the current situation was like this, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

Otherwise, being followed and chased by the Turkic army all the way, it would be impossible to survive at all.

However, what made Cheng Yaojin feel a little strange was that the Turkic army coming from the opposite side was a bit unusual-they formed an ordinary marching formation, just like a transport team, focusing on defense.

Moreover, after seeing the cavalry of the Tang army, the Turkic team calmed down without a forward coming out to meet the enemy after a little disturbance.

Just when Cheng Yaojin was puzzled, he saw dozens of Turkic troops galloping towards him.

"Watch out, see what these Turks are up to."
"Sign up for those who come!"
When those people were still one mile away from You Wuwei, they heard the leading knight shouting loudly.

Cheng Yaojin felt that the voice was slightly familiar: "I am Cheng Yaojin, Great General of Youwuwei of the Tang Dynasty, who are you?"
"Haha, Uncle Cheng, I'm Li Wenbin! Didn't expect you to come so soon?"
Cheng Yaojin was taken aback: His Royal Highness King Qin?How will you be here?

The distance of one mile was fleeting as the horse galloped at full speed, and when he got close, Cheng Yaojin finally saw clearly that the person who came was the King of Qin Li Wenbin whom he had been looking for for several days.

"Wow, you King Qin, you actually did such a dangerous thing!" Seeing Li Wenbin, Cheng Yaojin yelled unceremoniously, "Your Majesty ordered me to find you, and then tie you back to Chang'an. Come here !"
As he said that, he really wanted to order someone to tie up Li Wenbin——Cheng Yaojin had made up his mind, no matter what Li Wenbin said, he would send the restless Prince Qin back as quickly as possible.

It's enough for such a frightening thing to happen once, and if it happens a few times, he won't be able to stand it anymore.

"Don't, don't, Uncle Cheng, you can't do this, I just made a great contribution!"
"Hmph, if you return to Chang'an without a shadow, that's a great achievement."
"Come here, tie up King Qin and send him back to Chang'an!"
