Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 260 Encirclement and Suppression Halfway
That is to say, he planned to use Lanka, and when Lanka went back to report the news, Tuyuhun Khan would definitely believe Lanka, and then they would make preparations in advance to deal with their Shu army.

If they knew how to deal with the Tuyuhun army at this time, they would have a way to disintegrate them from within.

In this way, they could take Tuyuhun easily, and it was even less laborious than the forceful attack they had decided before.

Thinking about it this way, Chou Nuer felt that Li Ke's strategy was very good. Sure enough, his previous worries were unnecessary.

Li Ke was there all the time. For the sake of the Shu army, he minimized the losses as much as possible. He has been in the Shu army for so long, and he has never encountered a time when they suffered major losses.

It's all because Li Ke will try to avoid these.

"In that case, I wish Your Highness a smooth journey."

The ugly slave said.

He still has tasks to do in Xiping City this time. Although there is one Lanka missing, there are still Raton and Dumoli to deal with.

Those two people can be regarded as tough, if he can't persuade them two, I'm afraid he can only kill them.

At that time, it should still be considered a loss.

However, what is relatively unknown is that Li Ke has long since ignored those two people, and it doesn't matter if they lose.

Unknowingly, after three days, the Shu army had almost rested and reorganized. After these three days of recuperation, there was no problem at all.

Li Ke left some people to garrison Xiping City. After all, they had just been defeated, so they still had to send some people to guard it. It was not because they were worried that someone would take the opportunity to attack Xiping City, but just to prevent any accidents from happening.

Send some people to stay here. If something really happens, they can report to Li Ke as soon as possible, and it will be convenient for support at that time.

These are just in case, not to mention that he left the ugly slave in the west city, so he naturally wanted to keep some people to protect him.

Moreover, these people are insignificant to Li Ke. This time, if his information is correct, the territory of Tuyuhun will have less than [-] troops at this time. To Li Ke, this will not pose any threat at all. It's not because it's their territory, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also possible for Li Ke to directly lead the heavy cavalry to break through their defense line.

"Your Highness, I have brought people ready!"

Just when Li Ke was about to order troops, Lanka brought people over.

Li Ke glanced at him slightly, and sure enough the soldiers behind him were all his former subordinates, judging from this point, he already knew that the other party was not sincere, and was planning to betray them.

Li Ke naturally exposed this to him on purpose. At this time, Lanka had no idea that these subordinates of his had already surrendered to Li Ke, and they listened to Li Ke first.

Li Ke already knew about the things he did with his subordinates, such as secretly sending a letter to return to Yuhun, telling Khan to prepare in advance to besiege them.

"Very well, since that's the case, let's go."

At this moment, Chou Nuer looked at Lanka a little uncomfortable. To be honest, he didn't understand why Li Ke used this person at all. He felt that this person in front of him might betray them at any time, and he was not trustworthy at all.

But this is Li Ke's decision, and it's not easy for him to ask, especially in front of the other party.

Therefore, he didn't drink or talk to Lanka along the way, but just followed Li Ke silently.

Li Ke led his army all the way westward, leaving Xiping City for Tuyuhun's territory.

The journey here is a bit far away, so Li Ke set up camp halfway and let everyone rest. During the rest, Lanka also felt that there was an opportunity, so he sent a few people back to report the situation on their side, so that Tuyuhun Khan could take measures. , The Shu army must be taken down.

Gu Wu didn't know what was happening on Lanka's side. He just saw that Lanka was not near Li Ke's tent, so he took the initiative to come to Li Ke to ask him about this matter.

He didn't want their perfect plan this time to be broken by an outsider.

After seeing Gu Wu coming in, he was not surprised, he could even guess what Gu Wu was going to say to him in the next second.

"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't understand."

Gu Wu said.

"Are you trying to ask me why I use Lanka?"

Li Ke asked.

"Indeed, how could Your Highness know what I think?"

Gu Wu was a little surprised by this. He thought Li Ke didn't pay attention to him, but he didn't expect Li Ke to know his thoughts in advance.

It seems that Li Ke is paying attention to his emotions all the time.

"Don't worry too much. I never intend to trust an outsider. Don't care too much about this matter. If my guess is right, Lanka has already betrayed us, so you should be careful."

Li Ke said lightly.

Gu Wu was very nervous when he heard this, as long as he thought that there was a traitor in their army who might stab them at any time, he couldn't help but worry.

But seeing Li Ke so calm, he didn't know what to say.

"In that case, why did His Highness take him with him? Wouldn't it be better to keep him in Xiping City?"

Gu Wu really didn't understand Li Ke's thoughts.

"It's just a plan. You'll know in a while, and it should come soon."

Li Ke said.

Hearing what Li Ke said, Gu Wu was at a loss, and didn't understand what Li Ke was talking about.

But since Li Ke asked him to wait, he would naturally stay here and wait. About a quarter of an hour later, a person entered Li Ke's tent.

Gu Wu is very familiar with this person. He is the person who has been with Lanka all the time. He should be one of Lanka's capable subordinates. He is a little surprised why this person is here.

"Report Your Highness, just as His Highness thought, Lanka has already told the Khan of Tuyuhun about our situation, and they are now planning how to encircle us and have a specific plan."

Gu Wu took a deep breath when he heard such a report, and at the same time he understood why Li Ke took Lanka with him.

Since they already knew the enemy's movement in advance, wouldn't it be better to deal with the enemy?
If you don't bring Lanka, I'm afraid you won't know about it, but if you don't bring Lanka, their Khan probably won't know what's going on on their side.

This is the only thing Gu Wu can't figure out.

"Tell me, how are they going to deal with us?"

Li Ke asked the soldiers who came to report.

The soldier immediately told him all that he knew.

He is absolutely loyal to Li Ke, so Li Ke is not worried that this soldier will lie to him.

"They plan to encircle us halfway. They are more familiar with the terrain there. They plan to use the terrain advantage to hide part of the army, and then attack us. They will cooperate with Lanka from inside and outside, and Lanka will destroy our food and grass. Fire against the cavalry, attack while our army is in disarray."
