"Zhao Chen?" Late at night, Li Ruoshuang woke up from a nightmare.

He dreamed that Zhao Chen had a Tubo army surrounded a small hillside with dozens of people left by his side.

The Tubo army fired arrows at Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen was finally forced to jump off the cliff.

"Mom?" Xiao Ping'an was awakened by Li Ruoshuang, rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Ruoshuang with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's okay, keep sleeping." Li Ruoshuang comforted Xiao Ping'an, but there was an indelible worry on his face.

It has been more than half a month since he was separated from Zhao Chen, and he has no news about Zhao Chen at all.

Moreover, Wu Xu also said that he would join forces with Tubo to deal with the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Ruoshuang feel even more dangerous.

Today's nightmare made him feel full of worry. At this moment, he wanted to see Zhao Chen extremely, but dozens of Gaochang guards were guarding him at the door, and he had no chance to leave at all.

It was not until dawn that Li Ruoshuang saw Wu Xu coming in from outside the hall.

"What else are you doing?" This is the first time Wu Xu has been here in these days.

Li Ruoshuang cherishes and dislikes Wu Xu.

If it weren't for Wu Xu and Tubo, how could Niu Jinda's 30,000 defenders be trapped in the capital of Gaochang?

If there were these 30,000 troops, Tubo would probably not have to spend so much effort.

But now...

"I'll come and see if Sister Ruoshuang is doing well. If you have any needs, you can tell me..."

"No, I don't want to see you!" Li Ruoshuang interrupted Wu Xu's words.

Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a wry smile: "Niu Jinda and others have food and drink in the city, so you don't have to worry."

Li Ruoshuang didn't say anything, but when he heard that nothing happened to Niu Jinda, he felt much more relaxed.

Then there was a long silence in the hall, and Wu Xu opened his mouth.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end he turned into a long sigh, saluted Li Ruoshuang, and turned around and left.

The door of the hall was closed again, and several dim lights reflected on Li Ruoshuang's face, making people unable to see any expression.

...

"General, where should we go now?"

To the west of Yanmen Pavilion, the Tubo general looked at Luo Xi in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.

After chasing for a whole day, they did not catch Zhao Chen, the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty.

At present, only dozens of war horses were left on the hillside, and half of the Tang cavalry were not seen.

No one would have thought that the Tang cavalry would be so decisive. Facing the rain-like arrows behind him, he jumped off the hillside without hesitation.

There was no one in the turbulent river, and they didn't know whether Zhao Chen and those who were dead or alive.

Luo Xi was also very confused at this moment. Now that the army's granary was burned, the 100,000 troops could not stay here anymore. WeChat could only withdraw its troops immediately and meet with Songtsen Cadre Headquarters.

But he didn't catch Zhao Chen, and the army's granary was burned. Will Songtsen Gampo let him go?

Losi was a little worried, but he had to make a choice after all.

"How many people do we have?" Losi asked the general beside him.

"Report to the general, we have only gathered about 30,000 people at the moment, but there is not much food left in the army. If we want to return to His Majesty's headquarters, we must find a way to raise food and grass, otherwise many people may starve to death on the road."

Replying to Losi's words.

They lost the granary and were originally chasing Zhao Chen again, but they almost didn't bring any food and grass.

And they are now at least hundreds of miles away from Songtsen Gampo's headquarters, and there are deserts and Gobi Deserts, and they can't go there in less than seven or eight days.

The remaining soldiers of the Losi army all showed concerns, how could they go back without food?

Looking at the leader of Luosi, many people showed anger on their faces.

Their 100,000 people were killed by 10,000 cavalry from the Tang Dynasty, and even their granaries were burned out.

There were 30,000 troops left. Even the great prime minister Lu Dongzan sent by Songzan cadres died under the sword of the Tang cavalry. If Luo Xi had not listened to the dissuasion, how could such a thing happen?

Luo Xi also noticed that the soldiers looked at him with some wrong look. He also knew that this time it was all because of his own mistake in making decisions that led to the defeat of the army.

He caught Zhao Chen, and Songtsen Gampo would definitely not say anything, but the problem is that Zhao Chen did not catch him, and he didn't even catch a Tang cavalry.

Songtsen Gampo should know that this is the case, why don’t he cut Luo Xi alive?

"After sending the order, Zhao Chen jumped off the cliff and committed suicide under the pursuit of our army. He found Zhao Chen's body under the cliff. It was broken, so he did not bring the body back and took Zhao Chen's bloody horses.

Go back and leave it to Your Majesty!" Luo Xi turned around and said to the generals beside him.

At the moment, he had only one way. If he didn't tell Songzan Gampo to kill Zhao Chen when he went back, he would definitely be Luo Xi himself.

Although Zhao Chen's body was not found, and I was even uncertain whether Zhao Chen was dead or not, Luo Xi thought, can he survive if he jumped from such a high?

Moreover, Songtsen Gampo himself didn't know whether Zhao Chen was dead or not. He even brought back Zhao Chen's sweat and blood. How could Zhao Chen survive?

The plan for the present is to save your life first.

The generals around him also instantly understood Luo Xi’s intention and nodded repeatedly: “What the general said is, my subordinates understand!”

He led dozens of Tang Dynasty war horses away, and the mighty but lack of fighting spirit, Luoxi's army slowly returned to the way he came.

...

"General, no trace of His Highness the King of Han was found!"

"Only on one hillside, there were traces of cavalry. Behind the hillside was a turbulent river. We suspected..."

Li Jing sat in the central army tent. Listening to the reports from his generals, his heart skipped a beat again, and his face collapsed.

He understood what the general meant, and that Zhao Chen must have been chased by Luoxi's army to the other side of the hillside, and then he had no way out and jumped down the river.

"Send someone to look for it, no matter what, you must find His Highness the King of Han."

"General, the river is turbulent, and it's very steep here. The soldiers can't go down at all. There are mountains on the other side of the river. I can't find any way to the river!"

"I don't care. If you want to see someone alive and die, you must find His Highness the King of Han." Li Jing's irritable voice came from the central army's tent.

The generals under his command did not take care of the others and sent a large number of soldiers to search for the last place where the Tang cavalry disappeared.

But ten days later, they still couldn't find any trace of Zhao Chen, but they found the bodies of several Tang cavalrymen and fell on the edge of the cliff.

Li Jing looked worried. He had no idea how he should report this to Chang'an now.

Zhao Chen will never see anyone but die. If the emperor knew, how could he not be angry?

But even if the emperor was angry, Li Jing still had to pass the news back to Chang'an.
