Li Zaigu led one hundred cavalry and continued to chase northward.

When he reached a fork in the road, Li stopped at Gula.

He saw horse hoof prints and human footprints on the roads north and west, and suspected that Jie Li Khan and others might not have fled north.

"Why did the general stop?" He Wen, who was beside Li Zaigu, couldn't help asking.

"Did you see horse hoof prints and human footprints on the road westward?" Li Zaigu asked back.

"See." He Wen nodded.

"I suspect that Jie Li fled west after taking the road." Li Zaigu said thoughtfully.

"Why does the general think so?" He Wen said in confusion.

"If Jie Li had not taken the road to flee west, why would there be so many horse hoof prints and human footprints on the road to west?" Li Zaigu said lightly.

"Yes." He Wen nodded thoughtfully.

Li Zaigu ignored him anymore and turned to Min Pohu behind him, saying, "Pohu!"

"I'm here!" Min Pohu immediately stepped forward.

"Look at what if Jie Li chooses to continue running to the north of Mobei or to flee west?"

"Abide by the order!"

Min Pohu rode his horse and walked more than ten steps towards the north road, then turned his head and walked more than ten steps towards the west road.

Not long after, Min Pohu rode his horse back.

"Report to the general that his subordinates believe that Jie Li fled westward." Min Pohu bowed to Li Zaigu.

Li Zaigu said "hmm" and said with a serious expression: "Tell me your reasons."

"Whether it is going north or west, there are many horseshoe marks and people's footprints. At first glance, it is difficult to tell which road is more people. However, the nose of the subordinate told his subordinate that Jie Li should go west to escape." Min Pohu explained slowly, "The subordinate smelled that there were much more people on the road to the west than on the road to the north."

After hearing this, Li Zaigu began to ponder.

"General, please forgive me for your words." He Wen's eyes rolled, looked at Min Pohu, and then looked at Li Zai's ancient road. "Pohu only found that there were many people on the road to the west, but it was not possible to judge that Jie Li was fleeing west."

Li Zaigu said "hmm" and said thoughtfully: "What He Wen said is extremely true. It cannot be judged by the number of people and horses alone whether Jie Li is fleeing west or north."

"General, as a Khan, there will naturally be more people following him." Min Pohu thought for a while.

"It makes sense to defeat Hu's words." Li Zaigu nodded thoughtfully.

"But why are there so many people walking north?" He Wen questioned.

Li Zaigu glanced at He Wen, then looked at Min Pohu, feeling that what they said made sense.

He suddenly fell into a dilemma. If he continued to chase north, what if Jie Li fled west? If he turned his horse and chase west, what if Jie Li continued to escape north?

"General, my subordinates have a suggestion." Zhang Zheng suddenly spoke.

Li Zaigu's eyes immediately fell on Zhang Zheng's face and asked anxiously: "What suggestions do you have? Say it quickly!"

"My subordinates believe that they can divide the troops into two groups." Zhang Zheng said.

"The troops are divided into two groups?" Li Zaigu pondered, "This suggestion is good!"

Li Zaigu glanced at everyone, stood upright with his head held high, and said loudly: "All the soldiers obey the order!"

"Here!" the soldiers and soldiers responded.

"We are divided into two groups to pursue Jie Li!"

"Abide by the order!"

So, Li Zaigu led several soldiers from Tiance Mansion to turn their horses and chase westward.

The one hundred cavalry, led by two captains, continued to chase northward.

Li Zaigu reminded the 100 cavalry that if they encounter Jie Li and his army, don’t fight hard, just follow first, and send someone to notify yourself or the large army at the same time.

Li Zaigu was not worried that Jie Li, who was fleeing north, could escape because he knew that Li Ji had already led his army to set up an ambush on the road to Mobei, but there were variables on the road to the west. He had to chase west personally, and even if he encountered Jie Li and his troops, he could deal with it better.

Li Zaigu quickly whipped his horse and ran westward.

As a thousand-mile horse, the White Dragon Cat quickly threw the soldiers of the Tiance Mansion behind him far away.

The white dragon horse ran for twenty or thirty miles, suddenly slowed down and stopped at the entrance of a valley.

Li Zaigu's heart skipped a beat and realized that there was danger ahead. He had been with the White Dragon Cat for so long, and he had a close relationship with each other.

Li Zaigu raised his head and looked left and right on the hills on both sides of the valley. This place is suitable for ambushing.

So, if an enemy set up an ambush here, it is probably to stop the Tang Dynasty's pursuit.

He watched carefully for a moment and saw a crowd of people on the hill.

Li Zaigu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of disdain passed by.

He gently stroked the white dragon foal's neck twice and decided to wait for the soldiers of the Tengce Mansion behind him to prevent them from accidentally breaking into the valley and being ambushed.

Not long after, several soldiers from the Tince Mansion arrived.

Li Zaigu told them that there was an ambush in the valley and asked them to prepare. At the same time, he told them to pretend that they were fine first so as not to alert the enemy.

Li Zaigu led several soldiers from the Tiance Mansion to ride horses into the valley.

The enemy troops ambushed on the hills on both sides did not move. They were waiting for more Tang troops to arrive before they could take action. It was impossible to expose them too early for the Tang army with less than ten people.

These ambushed enemy troops believed that Li Zaigu and others were just soldiers who were cutting the way in the front, and would definitely follow the large army behind them. If Li Zaigu and others ambush Li Zaigu and others, they would definitely be alarmed and could not ambush the large army behind them.

However, they didn't know that there was no so-called large army behind them, so they just let Li Zaigu and others go there for nothing.

Li Zaigu guessed their ideas and decided to venture across the valley.

The psychological qualities of the several soldiers of the Tiance Mansion were much higher than those of ordinary people. Even if they knew that the enemy was ambushing the valley, they could still remain calm and pretend to be nothing.

In fact, as long as the ambushed enemy troops take the opportunity to shoot arrows, Li Zaigu and others may be shot into a hedgehog.

In war, sometimes it tests people's courage, and it tests people's opposite way.

After Li Zaigu and others were lying over, the enemy troops in ambushed were staring at the entrance of the valley, waiting for the arrival of the large Tang army troops chasing.

The Tang army's large troops did not wait, but waited for the messenger of hell.

Just as the ambushed enemy troops were all focused on the entrance to the valley, Li Zaigu summoned the "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun" and began their killing.

Hundreds of Turkic soldiers lying ambushed on both sides of the valley instantly became the dead souls of Yan Yun’s Eighteen Cavalry under arrows and swords.

Several soldiers from the Tiance Mansion who followed Li Zaigu were not surprised to see the eighteen cavalry of Yan Yun destroying the ambushed enemy.

They all knew that Li Zaigu had a team of surprise soldiers protecting him in secret.

After the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun destroyed the ambush in the valley, Li Zaigu said to several Tiance Palace soldiers: "Since there are ambushes here, it means that Jie Li was fleeing westward."

Several soldiers from the Tiance Mansion nodded and expressed their agreement with Li Zaigu's statement.

"Everyone hurry up and hurry up. You must not let Jie Li escape again this time!" Li Zaigu's tone was solemn.

"As for your order!" the soldiers responded.
