No one expected that Zhao Chen's skills were even the number one general under Yuan Gai Suwen was no match for him.
If he had known this, Hou Junji would never have given Yuan Gai Suwen such a bad idea.
Now Li Shimin and Zhao Chen have both arrived at the Tang army camp.
If they don’t make good responses now, who knows what will happen to them in the future!
"That's a hairy child who is only a teenager. Will he be the commander of the three armies of the Tang Kingdom?"
"Will Xu Shiji agree?"
"Li Shimin himself is not afraid that Zhao Chen's wrong command will destroy the Tang army directly?" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't believe it.
Or it could be said that he didn't want to believe this.
Although he only fought with Zhao Chen once, Yuan Gai Suwen had already realized Zhao Chen's difficulty at this moment.
Even now, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't figure it out. On that day, Zhao Chen said that he didn't care about Niu Jinda's life, whether it was true or false.
"Master General, my subordinates feel that Zhao Chen will definitely not be appointed as the commander of the Tang army by Li Shimin."
"How old is he? In the words of you Tangren, even a boy with no hair grows."
"Li Shimin doesn't care about the feelings of others?" Huizhen spoke, refuting Hou Junji's words.
Huizhen put her heart in favor. If it were him, no matter how capable this person is, he would not have made the outrageous decision as Hou Junji said.
Hou Junji shook his head and looked at Yuan Gai Suwen. As for Huizhen, he didn't want to pay attention.
"How old is the Grand Marshal himself in power?"
"Why do you think that Zhao Chen's age would not be able to be the commander of the Tang army?" Hou Junji and Yuan Gai Suwen said.
Yoon Gassuvin frowned.
His situation is different from Zhao Chen.
His father Yuan Taizuo was the great pair of Goguryeo, and he held military and political power in Goguryeo.
Yuan Gaisuwen is a son who inherits his father's business.
What is Zhao Chen's origin? He is just a tavern shopkeeper.
If it weren't for the good opportunity, how could there be today's glory?
"Can he Zhao Chen compare with our Grand Marshal?"
"The father of the Grand Marshal is our Goguryeo. In your Tang Dynasty, it is the prime minister. Both the military and political affairs of Goguryeo are controlled by the Goguryeo."
"Then Zhao Chen, what qualifications does he have to compare with our Grand Marshal?" Hui Zhen condemned.
He doubted whether Hou Junji was deliberately belittling his commander to achieve his ulterior motive.
Yuan Gaisuwen didn't say anything, which also means that he also meant that the same thing at this moment.
Hou Junji shook his head and joked: "The Grand Marshal won't really think that Zhao Chen is just a shopkeeper!"
Yuan Gaisuwen frowned, he didn't quite understand what Hou Junji meant.
"If you are just a mere shopkeeper, even if you have too many skills, why would the emperor ignore his prince for him?"
"If Zhao Chen was just a mere shopkeeper, why would the emperor abandon me, this minister who followed me?"
"Zhao Chen, it's not a shopkeeper."
"His true identity is the eldest son left by Li Shimin."
"He should be called Li Chengqian!" Hou Junji stood in front of Yuan Gai Suwen, leaned into his ear, and said slowly.
Yuan Gaisuwen's expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were staring at Hou Junji's eyes.
Of course, he didn't know how much news about Zhao Chen's identity has received.
But there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Chen and Li Shimin really have any special relationship.
But now this was said from Hou Junji's mouth.
Yeon Gassuwen wanted to see the panic in Yeon Gassuwen's eyes, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
"Is Zhao Chen the son of Li Shimin?"
"Then why doesn't he admit it, not disclose it?" Yuan Gaisuwen's face turned gloomy and looked at Hou Junji.
Hou Junji looked at Yuan Gai Suwen and shook his head with a smile: "Because he dared not recognize Zhao Chen, he was worried that Zhao Chen would know that Li Shimin had been lying to him."
"Li Shimin is selfish, but this does not affect his importance to Zhao Chen."
"If we don't prepare early, once Li Shimin let Zhao Chen take over as the commander of the Tang army..."
...
The emperor said that Niu Jinda suggested that Zhao Chen take over as the commander of the Tang army instantly silenced in the camp.
Xu Shiji's expression was a little ugly.
He knew that he had never won a single victory after being responsible for commanding the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty for so long.
It almost completely collapsed the entire front-line army.
But Xu Shiji worked hard when facing a strong enemy.
He was thinking about how to defeat the enemy day and night.
Although the emperor was just talking about Niu Jinda's suggestion, Xu Shiji understood that the emperor himself thought so.
Xu Shiji, who fought a lifelong battle, was trying to give up his position to a young man who was enough to be his grandson.
After all, this feeling is not good.
"Although Zhao Chen is young, he is very capable, I am willing to..."
"Your Majesty, fighting against Goguryeo is definitely not an easy task. Zhao Chen is not old and he has no experience in many things."
"If he was the commander, it might cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers."
"Besides, Military Secretary Xu did nothing wrong. He suddenly replaced Zhao Chen. Do you have to think about it?" Cheng Yaojin said to the emperor before Xu Shiji agreed.
Xu Shiji looked at Cheng Yaojin and shook his head.
When Cheng Chumo saw his father blocking Zhao Chen's way to succeed, he couldn't help but frown.
He thought that he had a good relationship with Zhao Chen and that his father had a good relationship with Zhao Chen.
If Zhao Chen had not sent Xue Rengui to fight today, his father might not have been back.
Why now...
"Your Majesty, Zhijie is very much saying that although Zhao Chen is capable, it would be a bit of a thrust to let him directly serve as the commander."
"Besides, Zhao Chen himself is afraid he won't be willing to do this." Qin Qiong also persuaded the emperor.
They have no other meaning.
The two of them were bothering to express their grievances for Xu Shiji, who had no credit and worked hard, and were suddenly replaced by Zhao Chen.
Will Xu Shiji lead troops in the future?
A veteran who had been decades was rejected by the emperor once?
It doesn’t matter if you know it. People who don’t know will be panic by the emperor?
The emperor frowned, and he knew that he would attract opposition from everyone.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, two uncles who had a good relationship with Zhao Chen, also opposed it so much.
"Military advisor, don't rush to say what you want. I just said Niu Jinda and me suggestions, and there is no other intention." The emperor knew that this matter could no longer be said today.
I had to comfort Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji nodded, his expression relaxed a little.
"It's dark, you all go back to rest. By the way, Xue Rengui performed well today and sent someone to reward him." The emperor waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse.
Everyone left, and the emperor sighed.
At this moment, he began to worry about Zhao Chen's identity again.
If they defeated Yuan Gaisuwen, who knows whether Hou Jun's reunion would expose the lies he had been covering up?
If Zhao Chen knew about it...
Cheng Chumo left the emperor and turned around and went to Zhao Chen's camp.
Zhao Chen was having a meal when he saw Cheng Chumo coming, so he put down his chopsticks.
Li Ruoshuang glared at Cheng Chumo and took away the bowls and chopsticks.
"Zhao Da, isn't I here at the right time?" Cheng Chumo felt Li Ruoshuang's dissatisfaction and whispered to Zhao Chen.
