Chapter 136: Bending the bow and shooting the eagle

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Ke led the remaining more than 100 people to the peace of mind of Suzhou City. Because he had to pass through Dingxiang City to enter Yunzhou, which was the Li City of the Turks. He could not guarantee whether Schroeder bribed Dingxiang's Turkic defenders to stop him, so he chose the route from Suzhou to Chang'an.

More than 100 people and more than 300 horses were running in the scorching sun in the east, which seemed quite spectacular. All the way, Li Ke was silent, even when he was resting, he occasionally talked to Chen Qi, which was all the information that Chen Qi took the initiative to report the itinerary and the scouts to find. Chen Qi was not sure what Li Ke was thinking, but he knew that more than 800 people died in the grassland, and with Li Ke's character, he would definitely hold the responsibility on himself. However, he was a soldier and would not comfort others, especially a prince like Li Ke with a prominent and knowledgeable background. Therefore, I could only place my mood on the alertness of the surroundings and patrol the grassland dynamics.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came into Li Ke's ears. As the sound of horse hooves came in, a voice shouted, "Your Highness, you have found a large number of Turkic cavalry a mile behind me."

"What?" Chen Qi was shocked.

The person who spoke was the scout Zhang Chao. He glanced at Li Ke who was as calm as water, "Your Highness, you found a large number of Turkic cavalry a kilometer behind me. The estimated number of people is about 1,000."

After Zhang Chao said that, Li Ke had a clear look of relief on his face. He seemed to have expected such a result very early, so after confirming Zhang Chao's words, he said lightly, "Zhang Chao continues to investigate, Chen Qi, order everyone to get on the horse and we go to Fengzhou."

"No" shouted at the same time, and then Zhang Chao walked quickly to his war horse, turned over and disappeared from Li Ke's sight with a few. Li Ke and Chen Qi boarded the horse at the same time and led the rest toward Fengzhou.

Fengzhou was located west of Shengzhou and Suzhou. Li Ke's purpose of choosing the itinerary in this way was to lure the Turks to Fengzhou, and then go south sharply to Shuofang and into Lingzhou. He wanted to use his advantage of being one person and three horses to lead the Turks to Fengzhou and then get rid of them.

More than a hundred people behind him had already vowed to follow him to the death, so whenever he went, they would follow him without hesitation. So, Li Ke and his group hurried towards Fengzhou.

Li Ke led his 108 people to ride horses for a day, and finally chose a place with water to camp when the sun sets.

The next day, they continued to move towards Fengzhou, and then in the evening, they finally arrived at the landlord about 300 miles away from Fengzhou City, and then chose a place with water to set up camp.

The next morning, Li Ke suddenly ordered the team to change the route south and directly led his subordinates toward Lingzhou, Shuofang.

However, when everyone was resting at noon, Zhang Chao suddenly came quickly and reported bad news to Li Ke. The number of Turkic people of 1,000 suddenly decreased by 500, and the remaining 500 people were not sure where they were.

"Are you sure there are only five hundred people chasing us?" Li Ke asked again.

"When you go back to Your Highness, you are half the number of people yesterday." Zhang Chao replied decisively.

"Do they know the purpose of my real itinerary?" Li Ke said to himself, "Divid half of the troops intercept us in front of us?" Suddenly, a cold light appeared in his eyes. "There must be a powerful character among the Turks who came this time. He has completely seen through my plan. Moreover, in the past two days, our three horses were rotated back and forth, and the speed was many times faster than they did. Why haven't they dropped them off and kept chasing them?" Li Ke was thinking about returning to Tang, but at this time he discovered the problem that had occurred in the sky.

In the eyes of Chen Qi and Zhang Chao, Li Ke was waiting for Li Ke's next life. For them, what they did to Li Ke was to obey and absolutely obey.

"I ordered everyone to rush, change direction, and continue to go west. We should throw them away as fast as possible, rest in the evening, and go to the evening." Li Ke gave the order decisively, "I'll see what the Turks can detect our itinerary at night." The sentence he said to himself, and his tone seemed to be a little murmuring to himself.

In the evening, Li Ke and his group found a place with water. They ate the horse meat they carried with them and rested for a while. After dark, Li Ke decisively issued an order. He changed his itinerary and headed towards Lingzhou in the south again. He rushed in the dark. It was Li Ke's first march, and he was a little unfamiliar at first. But gradually he found the skills and feelings of riding horses at night. One hundred and eight people walked all night under Li Ke's leadership, and stopped rushing when a ray of sunshine rose in the east the next morning.

With cold water and horse meat, Li Ke sighed in his heart, "I guess he won't be caught up by the Turks again this time, right? They definitely don't understand that they will suddenly move south when they suddenly changed their direction last night."

However, Li Ke's excessive optimism caused him to be hit hard at noon. When Zhang Chao reported the information about the Turkic pursuers five miles behind him to Li Ke, Li Ke showed a surprised expression for the first time. Are the Turkic people so powerful? Can the Turkic scouts really grasp the sudden change of their itinerary last night so accurately? He didn't believe it, but the facts made him unable to believe it.

Li Ke's confidence was hit hard for the first time. This was the first time that he was forced to run around like a stray dog. This was the first time that he had lost the initiative, just like a tiger in a cage, without the majesty and domineeringness of the past.

Suddenly, he felt that he was like a fish in water in the past because he understood history and had the ability to be foresight. Therefore, he would be one step faster than others every time he walked. However, today's blow made him understand that his greatest advantage was actually his greatest shortcomings. He was used to mastering history and predicting the ability to be ahead of his uncertainty, and he was helpless when there was an emergency.

Then, the attack on Li Ke had just begun. Just when he was silent, two more scouts came back to report that they had found five hundred Turkic cavalry five miles away from them. At the same time, another scout also reported that about three hundred cavalry in strange clothes appeared in their westward direction.

When they heard the two people report, Chen Qi and Zhang Chao were very surprised at the same time. Enemies appeared in the West and the South at the same time, and with the 500 people chasing behind them, there were enemies with a total of 1,300 people in three directions. Imagine how could they resist more than 100 people?

Suddenly, Chen Qi fell on one knee, "General Mo begs His Highness to leave first and let General Mo lead his troops as his Highness's rear."

Li Ke discovered for the first time that he was also very weak, and more than 1,300 people could make him disappear in this world. He turned his eyes to Chen Qi, the beloved general who was kneeling in front of him, and gently helped him up, "Do you think I can leave?" He said lightly, "We are surrounded by enemies on three sides, how many hours can you 108 people withstand?"

"Your Highness, I will definitely protect you from the siege and will definitely send you to Chang'an safely." Seeing that Li Ke did not want to leave alone, Chen Qi knew that it was useless to force Li Ke.

"Yes, we will definitely go back." Li Ke sighed, "because I believe you are the eagles in the sky." As he said this, he thought of the conversation with Ashinayun that night, about the eagles.

Suddenly, Li Ke shouted, "So that's it." Then, he looked up at the sky, and there was an eagle hovering above their heads.

"It turns out that's true," Li Ke said fiercely, "No wonder the Turks can grasp our whereabouts so clearly. It turns out that they have such scouts." After Li Ke said that, Chen Qi and Zhang Chao looked up at the eagle in the sky at the same time. They also understood the meaning of Li Ke's words.

"Get my bow." Li Ke shouted. When he knew why he was controlled by others, Li Ke suddenly showed his confidence again. Li Ke's words attracted everyone's attention. When they saw the eagle circling in the sky, they looked at Li Ke's posture of bent his bow and placing an arrow, they knew what Li Ke wanted to do.

Li Ke bent his bow and arrow, aiming at the eagle hovering in the sky, and one hundred and eight pairs of eyes were also staring at his feather arrows, staring at him nervously. Bending the bow and shooting eagle is just a legend in the Tang Dynasty, and today their King of Han wants to bend the bow and shooting eagle. They know that Li Ke can do it, and they expect Li Ke can do it. Because, in their hearts, Li Ke already exists like a god. In their hearts, Li Ke is their god, and he can do anything.
