As the Longwu General, Chen Xuanli naturally wouldn't hand over his military power so easily. Moreover, Ang Lee was just a Right Longwu Army Lieutenant and a general under his command.
"Lieutenant Li, you have won a few battles in Yuzhou, and your performance is indeed extraordinary. But don't forget yourself. There are many famous generals in the Tang dynasty. You are not the only one who can win battles."
Chen Xuanli's expression was a little unhappy. Although he had never experienced the cruel border battles, he had led the army for more than 30 years and was quite familiar with military affairs. He never thought that he would lose to Wang Zhongsi and other famous generals of the Tang dynasty. It was just that as a general of the Imperial Guards, he had almost no chance to participate in border battles and couldn't display his military talent.
Ang Lee grinned. Chen Xuanli's reaction was within his expectations. However, he had already prepared a way to persuade Chen Xuanli, so he took a step forward and whispered a few words in Chen Xuanli's ear.
Chen Xuanli heard this and nodded with a smile. "Okay, in that case, I will temporarily hand over all 3,000 soldiers under my command to you. The Tang Army must win this battle."
"Don't worry, General. The Tang dynasty will win."
"Okay, Lieutenant Li, this is the commander's seal. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be dealt with according to military law."
Chen Xuanli handed the commander's seal to Ang Lee and looked at the generals below. "All of you, listen carefully. From now on, all of you will listen to Lieutenant Li's command. If anyone disobeys, they will be dealt with according to military law."
"Yes."
The generals of the Longwu Army didn't know what was going on, but since Chen Xuanli had given such an order, they had to obey.
Then, Chen Xuanli took more than 100 guards, put on the clothes of ordinary people in Dongnu Province, and left the valley for Queen City. Ang Lee chose to stay in the valley and was ready to lead 3,000 Tang Army to the battlefield at any time.

In the palace of the East Maiden Kingdom, the Great Minister Zhao Daiwen glanced at Zhao Wufu beside him and said, "Honored guest, recently, the Tutans have been restless. First, they harassed the northwest border of our East Maiden Kingdom. Now, there are more than ten thousand Tutans harassing the western border. In addition, there are signs of an attack. In order to ensure the safety of the people, this subject intends to personally lead a few hundred troops to reinforce the border.
Zhao Wufu, who was beside him, was greatly surprised. From Li An, he had already learned of the Great Minister Zhao Daiwen's plot. He wanted to cooperate with the Tufan army to seize the political power. Therefore, the Great Minister should have stayed in the Queen's City obediently. Why did he suddenly propose to lead troops to reinforce the west? This made him very puzzled.
Prime minister Daiwen.....
Zhao Yefu didn't think too much and asked directly.
"Your Highness, I plan to leave in the afternoon."
"The situation at the border is tense! Prime Minister, please be careful...
"Thank you, Bin. This subject will go back and prepare."
. "Wait."
Zhao Wufu seemed to have realized some problems and said, "Prime Minister, the Tibetans are strong. I am willing to lead 300 soldiers to follow Prime Minister to the western border. This way, we can take care of each other."
Zhao Daiwen's face darkened and he quickly said, "Prime Minister, you can't do this. The Second Prime Minister has already gone to the border. If I and the Fifth Prime Minister also leave, there will be no one to take care of Prime Minister Zhao. The Fifth Prime Minister should stay to protect Prime Minister Zhao and reinforce the western border. I alone am enough."
"Prime Minister, you are right. Fifth Prime Minister, you should stay in Queen City!"
Zhao Wufu also didn't want all the External Ministers to leave Queen City. After all, there were many things that needed to be shared by the External Ministers.
"I will go back and prepare."
Zhao Daiwen turned around gently and glanced at Zhao Wufu with a sneer and disdain.
Zhao Wufu felt something in his heart, but he didn't know where the problem was. After all, in the plan that he and Ang Lee discussed, there was no mention of the Prime Minister leading the troops to leave Queen City.
'I must inform Li Xiaowei immediately.'
Zhao Wufu saw that the situation had changed and panicked. He immediately thought of Ang Lee.
####
"Where is Li Xiaowei?"
Zhao Wufu personally rushed to the residence of the Tang Empire's Diplomatic Corps and directly looked for Ang Lee.
Li Feishouyu hurriedly greeted him: "Fifth Prime Minister, why did you come here in person?"
Zhao Wufu gasped for breath: "Things have changed. I have an urgent matter to discuss with Li Xiaowei. Where is he?"
"Things have changed?"
Li Feishouyu was shocked when he heard this. He paused for a moment before shaking his head: "Fifth Prime Minister, Li Xiaowei is not in the city. He has gone to the valley and is preparing to personally command the ambush of the Tibetan army."
"Oh, then what should I do? Lieutenant Li Feishouyu, you should immediately send someone to inform Li Xiaowei. I will wait here."
Zhao Wufu paced around impatiently.
Li Feishouyu nodded and immediately sent soldiers to the valley.
In the evening, the 3,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army were all ready. As long as Ang Lee gave the order, they could immediately set off.
Ang Lee was waiting. As soon as the sky turned dark, he would lead the 3,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army straight to the Zimu Road and quickly prepare for battle. Of course, the 2,000 soldiers under the Fifth Prime Minister would also join the battle to eliminate as many Tibetan soldiers as possible.
"Li Xiaowei, Li Feishouyu sent an urgent letter."
Ang Lee didn't dare to delay and immediately opened the letter and frowned.
"Big Brother, did something happen in the city?"
Seeing Ang Lee frown, Li Kunxiong asked nervously.
Ang Lee nodded gently: "Things have changed. That old fox Zhao Daiwen suddenly led 600 soldiers to the west and left the West Gate half an hour ago."
"What, Zhao Daiwen left? How could this be? Then wouldn't our deployment be in vain?"
Ang Lee sighed: "Why would Zhao Daiwen suddenly lead his soldiers to leave the Queen's City? What does he want to do? Is he going to meet up with the Tibetan army first and then focus on attacking the Queen's City? Or is he going to escape after realizing that the situation is not right? Or is he purposely distracting us by leading his soldiers to the west and then suddenly attacking us? "
"Big Brother, you said three possibilities in one breath. Then what should we do now? Should we adjust the original plan? "
Li Kunxiong felt a little dizzy.
Ang Lee pondered for a long time: "Our plan has been in place for so long, we can't give it up so easily. No matter what Zhao Daiwen does, as long as we occupy the Zimu Road in time, we will be able to block the Tibetan army's advance. This way, we will be in an invincible position."
"Immediately go back and inform the Fifth Prime Minister. Everything will proceed according to the original plan. There is no need to change anything."
"Yes."
After the soldiers left, the sky was completely dark. Ang Lee immediately gathered the generals of the Dragon Martial Army and assigned them the tasks for the night. After that, he discussed with the Fifth Prime Minister and asked him to lead 2,000 soldiers to move together with the Tang Army.
In order to kill as many Tibetan soldiers as possible, the Tang Army and the soldiers under Zhao Jingnong's command all carried a large amount of materials to ignite fire, such as kerosene, cotton, sulfur, and so on.
Under the cover of the night, the 5,000 soldiers left the valley in five groups and quietly headed towards the Zimu Road. Among them, Ang Lee led 1,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army and was the first group to set off. They moved quickly towards the Zimu Road.
"Li Xiaowei, the Zimu River is in front. That black line is the Zimu Bridge. After crossing the Zimu Bridge, we will reach the Zimu Road and Zimu Mountain."
The soldiers of Dongnu Province explained softly.
"We have finally reached the Zimu River."
Ang Lee sighed and asked softly: "Can the water of the Zimu River be drunk?"
"The water is sweet. Of course, you can drink it. If Li Xiaowei is thirsty, you can try it."
Li An smiled and shook his head. He didn't dare to drink the legendary Zimu River carelessly. It wouldn't be good if he got pregnant.
"Li Xiaowei, the Zimu Mountain to the north of the Zimu Road is steep and difficult to climb. However, there are several places that you can climb up."
"Yes, I know."
Ang Lee nodded and ordered: "All troops, stop immediately."
On the south side of the Zimu Bridge, the 1,000 soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army stopped.
"Li Xiaowei, why don't we cross the bridge?"
Ang Lee looked at the opposite side of the bridge and pondered for a long time. Then, he said softly: "The most important thing in an ambush is the element of surprise. Once the enemy knows that we are ambushing at the Zimu Mountain, the ambush will fail completely. Therefore, we must not let the enemy know that we are ambushing at the Zimu Mountain. It is now night time. As long as we control the north side of the Zimu Bridge for three miles, we can avoid being discovered by the enemy's scouts."
"Li Xiaowei, you are very thoughtful. Give the order!"
Ang Lee looked at the Dragon Martial Army behind him and ordered: "Take a dozen people and cross the bridge immediately. After that, march three miles to the west. Report back immediately if you find anything unusual. Take a dozen people and march three miles to the east. Report back immediately if you find anything unusual."
"Yes."
Two members of the Dragon Martial Army loudly accepted the order. They each led a dozen or so soldiers and rushed across the Mother-Child Bridge. Then, they went upstream and downstream respectively.
Their mission was to control the three miles to the left and right of the Zimu Bridge to prevent the large number of Tang Army soldiers crossing the bridge from being discovered by the enemy. If that happened, the entire plan would be ruined.
"Li Xiaowei, since the ambush is so important, why didn't you send soldiers to monitor the Zimu Road earlier? Now that the army is already at the bridge, you only thought of controlling the road?"
A Dragon Martial Army general pointed out Ang Lee's unwise decision.
Ang Lee smiled and said: "The entire Zimu Bridge is more than twenty miles long. Every one mile, there will be people hiding in the dark to observe. Once they find anything unusual, they will raise the Kongming Lantern. This way, the people I just sent out will be able to see the Kongming Lantern. If they don't find the Kongming Lantern, it means that everything is normal and we can cross the bridge in peace."
The Dragon Martial Army general didn't expect Ang Lee to be so considerate. His face turned red. However, Chen Xuanli had already given the order. Although his position was high, he still had to obey Ang Lee's orders.
Half an hour later, the second batch of Dragon Martial Army soldiers arrived at the south bank of the Zimu Bridge.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the other side, Ang Lee waved his hand and led the Dragon Martial Army soldiers to cross the Zimu Bridge. They quickly rushed up the Zimu Mountain along a few gentle slopes.
Standing at the top of the Zimu Mountains and looking down, the Zimu River below was like a golden jade belt under the moonlight. It was very beautiful, very spectacular, and very intoxicating.
