The emperor discussed with his generals for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the reason why Yuan Gaisuwen suddenly issued a letter of war.
Many people inevitably speculated whether Yuan Gai Suwen knew that they had sent Zhao Chen back to urge the supplies.
This material is on the way.
So Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't wait to completely defeat the Tang army before their cold-proof materials arrived.
Many generals even advised the emperor to avoid the war for the time being, and wait for the supply from the rear to arrive before fighting a good battle with Yuan Gaisuwen.
The emperor will definitely not tolerate it.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had complaints because of the lack of cold-proof materials.
Now that Yuan Gai Suwen has sent a letter of war, they dare not accept the call, so it would be better to withdraw the troops and go back quickly.
The next morning, Xu Shiji asked his generals to rectify their troops and wait for the battle with Yuan Gaisuwen at noon.
"Your Majesty, today's battle may be a fierce battle between the two sides. Your Majesty stays in the camp, so it's safer." Xu Shiji came to the emperor's camp and told the emperor about his thoughts.
In the battlefield of Niutou Bay, both sides have built solid fortifications, so as long as the battlefield does not have a complete crushing situation.
Neither party will be easily defeated by the other party.
The camps on both sides are the safest places on both sides.
Xu Shiji was also worried that there was no eyebrow on the battlefield. If the emperor had something wrong...
Even if the emperor has nothing to do, they will have one more concern.
"Absurd, I came to the front line to fight. The soldiers fought on the front line. I was hiding in the camp?" The emperor frowned.
Even though he knew that Xu Shiji was worried about his own safety, he was also annoyed at this moment.
When I was young, I had never seen any scenes.
Can Goguryeo still scare yourself?
Xu Shiji was scolded by the emperor and wanted to persuade him again. Before he could speak, he heard the emperor continue to ask: "I will supervise the battle in this battle, first to tell the soldiers that I will stick to the front-line battlefield like them.
”
"In addition, I want to tell Yuan Gai Suwen that my Tang Dynasty is not afraid of death. If I want to invade my Tang Dynasty, unless I die first!"
Xu Shiji looked at the emperor.
The emperor said such passionate words, how could he persuade Xu Shiji?
...
The two armies arranged troops on the battlefield in Niutou Bay.
There are flags on both sides, and the north wind is rustling.
The soldiers of Goguryeo had already put on their winter clothes, and the swords and guns in their hands were shining with cold light.
Although the soldiers on the Tang Dynasty did not see any fear on their faces.
But when the north wind blows, you can still see the slight swaying of your body.
Xu Shiji looked at the army behind him and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Thinking about how if the weather gets colder in a few days and the cold-proof thing has not been delivered yet, how can they still have the power to fight against Goguryeo soldiers?
"Your Majesty, it seems that someone is coming across the street!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes were sharp-eyed and saw several people riding war horses in the Goguryeo camp ahead.
The emperor looked at the visiting person with a slightly deeper look.
He had seen the faces of the people here.
"Hou Junji!" Qin Qiong's face turned gloomy and he spit out a name.
The person who came from the Goguryeo military formation was Hou Junji who defected from the Tang Dynasty.
Because Hou Junji suwen suwen, during this war with Goguryeo, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were almost beaten by Goguryeo.
Because of Hou Junji, I don’t know how many Erlang of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed this war.
But they had never seen Hou Junji appear before, and they didn't expect that at this moment...
"My husband, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." Hou Junji's war horse stopped in the middle of the battlefield and bowed to the emperor from afar.
The emperor's brows furrowed.
He didn't quite understand what Hou Junji suddenly appeared!
Before the emperor could speak, he saw Yuan Gaisuwen leading a dozen Goguryeo archers to Hou Junji on horseback.
"Li Shimin, come out and talk. I and Mr. Hou have some good news to tell you." Yuan Gaisuwen shouted to the emperor, with a smile on his face.
The emperor looked at Yuan Gaisuwen and Hou Junji in front of him.
I issued a letter of war yesterday, and today the two sides met and started fighting.
Why did you suddenly use this trick?
"What do they mean?" The emperor looked at Xu Shiji with a look of confusion.
"Did Your Majesty see the archer behind Yoon Gassuvan?"
"I guess I want to lure His Majesty out and attack His Majesty with archers." Xu Shiji looked at the formation of Yuan Gasuwen in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, let's ignore them." Cheng Yaojin also spoke.
Hou Junji is a man who is very tricky.
If it weren't for any intention, I would never have appeared at this time.
"Your Majesty, just order the attack." Qin Qiong followed and persuaded him.
"Li Shimin, I heard that when you were in your teenage years, you led troops to support the king. How could you become more and more timid when you lived to such an age?"
"Don't worry, I just want to tell you about Zhao Chen."
"I heard from Mr. Hou that Zhao Chen is a parent-child who has been hiding your identity. Now you don't want to know why he has no news for so long?" Yuan Gai Suwen's voice came over.
The faces of the people behind the emperor changed.
They have heard too many rumors about Zhao Chen’s identity.
But no one took it seriously.
Now that he was mentioned by Yuan Gai Suwen, everyone suddenly thought of Zhao Chen again.
Zhao Chen has been back for a long time. If he has a smooth journey, he has to give them some news.
Don't worry them about not being.
But not.
Even the news that the transport team was on the way was just their guess.
"Your Majesty, this must be Hou Junji's plan. They want to use Zhao Chen to mess up our minds." Seeing that the emperor's expression was slightly dark, Xu Shiji knew that the emperor had already believed in the words of the Yuan Gaisuwen.
But this is not an impulse moment.
The archers behind Yuan Gaisuwen must have come here for the emperor.
"I'm timid, since I dare to come here, I'll put my life and death aside."
"As for the news about Zhao Chen you mentioned, I'm a little interested."
"Know the truth, go with me." The emperor said, waved to Cheng Yaojin.
"Your Majesty, I'll just go, your Majesty stay here." Cheng Yaojin drove his horse to block the emperor.
"No, I'm not that afraid of death."
"I want to know what medicine is sold in Yuan Gai Suwen and the others!" the emperor said lightly, driving the horse forward.
In fact, the emperor himself knew very well.
They did not receive any letters from Zhao Chen, and they did not know anything about the transportation team.
Even if they don’t know whether there is a transportation team or not.
Zhao Chen has been back for about twenty days, so there should be news coming.
At this moment, Yuan Gai Suwen said that he had news about Zhao Chen. The emperor knew it was a trap, but at this moment he also wanted to know what was going on behind him!
Why didn’t Zhao Chen even send any news back?
"Mr. Hou, it's true that Li Shimin cared about Zhao Chen as you said." Seeing that the emperor only brought Cheng Yaojin over, Yuan Gaisuwen smiled.
"Li Shimin has high hopes for Zhao Chen. If he hears news about something wrong with him..." A cold look flashed across Hou Junji's face.
