Li Shimin sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, his face was cold and solemn, and his eyes were even more gloomy. He spent countless money and food in this campaign against the Xia Kingdom, but up to now, he has not gained any benefits, and even lost troops and generals.
Duan Zhixuan is dead.
Countless soldiers became captives.
Especially when Li Jing fell into Du Qi's hands, even if Li Jing would rather die than surrender, it would cause Li Shimin a lot of trouble at the moment. After all, Li Jing is the military god of the Tang Dynasty and the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible to ignore Li Jing's life and death.
Li Shimin was thinking alone.
Considering the next step.
In fact, Li Shimin's situation is quite embarrassing now, and he can't advance or retreat. If Li Shimin wanted to attack Xia Guo, but Xia Guo's mortars were like a sharp sword hanging above his head, and he would give Li Shimin a blow at any time, making the soldiers of Datang fearful and afraid to fight. If it was Li Shimin who wanted to withdraw his troops, it was a disappointment that he didn't get a single battle hair.
Huh! !
The curtain of the camp tent was raised.
A burst of cold air invaded, even Li Shimin couldn't help shrinking his neck when he was on fire, only feeling a little cold in his body. He looked up and found that the person who came was Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Shimin put down the battle report in his hand and said, "Auxiliary machine, what's the matter?"
Changsun Wuji had a look of worry on his face, and he said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed something important to report right now."
Li Shimin said: "What's the matter?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Du Qi's army has already arrived in Rouyuan County. Du Qi may take revenge in the next step. I know Du Qi's nature. This person has always been extremely vindictive. This time he was attacked We attack. Next, we will definitely fight again. Therefore, we must prepare for the first battle now. The minister has sent an order to Liu Hongji to set up sentries on the border to ensure that he can get news at any time. As long as Get the news in advance, and things will be easier to handle, so you won¡¯t be caught off guard.¡±
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Your arrangement is very good."
It is a safe arrangement to arrange sentries to watch.
Avoid being raided by Du Qi.
"Report!"
Just at this time, a soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Gao Can, the general of Goguryeo, is seeking to see you."
Li Shimin said: "Tell me!"
The soldiers immediately went to deliver the order, and after a while Gao Shen entered.
Gao Shen is still the same as before.
It seems very calm and breezy.
Previously, their Goguryeo Kingdom was coerced by Datang, so they had to send troops to attack Xia Kingdom together with Datang. But on the battlefield, Gao Can always let the soldiers under his command paddle, even if it was an attack, it was a feint, not a real attack.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the troops under Gao Can's command were not damaged much.
There are still sufficient troops.
Gao Shen just felt lucky, glad that he didn't attack with all his strength. If he goes all out to attack and the troops under his command are damaged, then that's the loss, and he won't even get any benefits. If it is an all-out attack that can benefit, then that's fine.
Gao Can entered the tent, saluted and said: "Gao Can, the envoy of the next country, see His Majesty the Emperor."
Li Shimin said: "There is no need to be too polite."
Gao Shen couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is here this time to say goodbye."
Li Shimin said: "What do you mean?"
Gao Shen said: "This time the attack on the Xia Kingdom failed, and I, Goguryeo, have to withdraw. And this battle offended Du Qi, and I, Goguryeo, have to make preparations in advance. So now, I want to lead the army back Goguryeo, in order to deal with it."
Li Shimin's complexion suddenly darkened.
Goguryeo is about to evacuate.
Li Shimin said: "There is still a need to start a war with Xia Guo, so you don't have to leave for now."
Gao Shendao: "Your Majesty, we have to leave, and news from the country has just been sent. There has been turmoil in Koguryo, and it is urgent for me to lead the troops back. Therefore, we must return to the country now."
After a pause, Gao Can said: "Please learn from your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "No matter what, your soldiers and horses on the Goguryeo side must not leave."
"The minister must leave."
Gao Shen held his head high and said loudly: "Even if His Majesty disagrees, I will withdraw.", its strength is still not to be underestimated.
Still stronger than them.
In the camp, Changsun Wuji praised: "Your Majesty killed Gao Shen directly, which is a wonderful move. I expect that the Silla and Turks will not dare to make any changes. It is extremely important to kill chickens and scare monkeys." .Especially when the situation is unfavorable, only killing to stop killing can play a role."
Li Shimin said: "Killing chickens and scaring monkeys is one thing, but part of the reason why I killed Gao Can was because of anger in my heart. I was angry in my heart, so I vented it on Gao Can. I can only say that it's all my fault." He's unlucky."
Changsun Wuji chuckled twice.
Indeed.
Gao Shen is too unlucky.
If Gao Can was not so impatient to leave, or if Gao Can was not so impatient to show dissatisfaction with Datang, he would not have been killed directly.
Changsun Wuji changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, this is the case in Goguryeo. By extension, the entire Tang Dynasty will definitely be turbulent because of this matter. Right now, it is still necessary to send orders to stabilize the situation."
Li Shimin said: "This is necessary, auxiliary machine, you can send a letter directly to inform Fang Xuanling, and ask him to stabilize the situation. Under the current situation, the Tang Dynasty will not be in turmoil. Right now, we must stay in Guazhou, Guard against Du Qi's attack."
"The minister obeys the order!"
Changsun Wuji agreed immediately.
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier entered. The soldier bowed and stood up, saluting: "Your Majesty, a man came outside the camp, claiming to be Ma Zhou, an envoy of the Xia Kingdom, and asked to see His Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "Tell me!"
The soldiers went to notify immediately. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
