Chapter 1136 Every step is like walking on eggshells
Hou Junji has lived a little comfortable these days.
Yuan Gaisuwen obeyed him some of his words.
Control all the Datang towns north of Cangzhou under your command.
After controlling these towns, Hou Junji gained more confidence in taking over the entire Tang Dynasty.
Now, Hou Junji only hopes to hear the news of Li Shimin's sudden death.
Once this news spreads, it will be the time for them to enter the palace of Cangzhou.
"Mr. Hou, the general is invited." Hou Junji was thinking about something and heard from each other that soldiers said that Yuan Gaisuwen invited him over.
"I understand." Although it's a bit strange, Hou Junji could also guess some.
Yuan Gaisuwen looked for himself at this time, probably because he was trying to attack Cangzhou City.
But the army pursued and penetrated into the heart of the Tang Dynasty. If it did not control other Datang towns behind it, it would be easy to take advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, the situation has stabilized now.
Hou Junji came out of his tent, and then took a turn to outside Yuan Gaisuwen's tent.
When he opened the tent, he saw Yoon Gassuwen sitting on the upper head, and the other generals of Goguryeo were all sitting around.
"Mr. Hou is here, sit down." Yuan Gai Suwen and Hou Junji stretched out their hands and signaled Hou Junji to sit down.
Hou Junji bowed to Yuen Gaisuwen and sat down next to Yuen Gaisuwen.
General Huizhen nodded with Hou Junji.
If it weren't for Hou Junji's plan, he Huizhen would not have killed Qin Qiong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
This contribution is also made by Hou Junji.
"Mr. Hou, I am discussing with the generals when to attack Cangzhou City. I invite you to come, and I want to hear your thoughts."
"After all, if it weren't for Mr. Hou's help, we wouldn't have killed Qin Qiong." Yuan Gai Suwen said with a smile.
When Yuan Gai Suwen mentioned Qin Qiong who died in battle, some unnatural flashes across Hou Junji's face.
He just wanted Huizhen to capture Qin Qiong, but he didn't expect Qin Qiong to die in battle.
This is somewhat backfiring.
"The best time to attack Cangzhou City is when Li Shimin died of poisoning."
"At that time, the Tang army would definitely be dismal. If there is a slight attack, the resisters will be panicked." Hou Junji said his thoughts.
But he knew that someone would definitely ask himself when Li Shimin would die.
Sure enough, a Goguryeo general jumped out, looked at himself, and said, "Mr. Hou, you said Li Shimin died of poisoning, but you should give us a deadline."
"You said he couldn't hold on for a few days before, but there is no news of him dying yet."
"Now, when do you let us wait?"
Yuan Gaisuwen did not stop the general who spoke, but looked at Hou Junji.
Obviously, he also wanted to know why Hou Junji hadn't come yet.
Hou Junji felt a little tired.
These people were so anxious to attack Cangzhou City. Do they really think the Cangzhou City Wall is paper-made?
Or did they defeat the Tang army repeatedly, which made them grow countless confidence?
"Master General, Qin Qiong was not dead, but we just captured him, which would definitely disrupt the morale of the Tang army."
"But now that he is dead, the Tang army will definitely share the same hatred of the enemy. There is a saying in the Tang State that the soldiers will win."
"If you attack Cangzhou City at this time, you will definitely suffer huge losses."
"I don't recommend siege."
"As for why Li Shimin had not been poisoned yet, first of all, he may have been terminally ill and died immediately."
"The other is that he is dead, and now the city is just not publicized."
"There is another possibility in the end, that is, someone has saved Li Shimin."
"No matter which result it is, we need to wait now..."
"Wait, when will it be?" Huizhen stood up and interrupted Hou Junji.
Originally, he was quite grateful to Hou Junji for helping him kill Qin Qiong.
As a result, Hou Junji intentionally said several times that he shouldn't kill Qin Qiong.
Isn't this what I said about myself in front of Yoon Gassuwen?
How can Huizhen tolerate it?
This is obviously because Hou Junji wants to replace him, right?
Hou Junji was also shocked by Huizhen's sudden yell.
The other Goguryeo generals laughed out loud when they saw Hou Junji's panic look.
There was a sneer throughout the camp.
Hou Junji smiled and stopped talking.
Even if I feel unhappy, I will not vent my feelings in front of everyone at this moment.
Seeing that everyone was laughing at Hou Junji, Yuan Gai Suwen also knew that Hou Junji could not be embarrassed.
After all, I still need to use him.
Hou Junji is still very useful when dealing with the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
"Mr. Hou was very thoughtful, but you also saw that the soldiers were a little impatient."
"After all, after taking over Cangzhou City, it will be the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom."
"I also want to meet with Prince Li Tai of Tang State in Chang'an City as soon as possible."
"I guess Mr. Hou also wants to go back to Chang'an early!" Yuan Gai Suwen said with a smile.
The Goguryeo soldiers all smiled.
They knew that Yoon Gassuwen had made a decision at this moment.
"Tomorrow morning, attack Cangzhou City and bring out all the Eight Niu Crossbows, so that the people of Tang can taste the power of the weapons they developed by their own people." Yuan Gaisuwen said to the generals.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
...
As soon as Zhao Chen and others left, Li Jing began to get busy.
At this moment, he had replaced Xu Shiji and controlled the entire army.
The lives of tens of thousands of people were also held in his hands.
This made Li Jing dare not neglect at all.
"Military advisor, after these days, Yuan Gai Suwen should be a little anxious. If what he expected was good, he should be preparing to attack the city in the next few days." Li Jing looked at the map on the table and said to Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji was slightly stunned.
"Duke Wei, shouldn't Yuan Gai Suwen wait until the news of His Majesty's accident spread before taking action?"
"Surprise the city at this time, Hou Junji should stop him." Xu Shiji was silent for a moment and talked about his thoughts to Li Jing.
Xu Shiji was also thinking.
Now that Qin Qiong has died in battle, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty want to hate Qin Qiong and those comrades who died in battle.
At this time, you will hit the city by yourself?
"Stop it for sure, but it is not certain whether Yeon Gaisuwen listens or not."
"Yun Gaisuwen won consecutive battles and Huizhen killed Shubao again. They were just excited and they must have felt that we were just a mob."
"Not a big battle, but there must be temptation."
"Military advisor, send orders to prepare tinder, trenchers, and discarded cloth to sew a long cloth that is twenty feet long and ten feet wide."
"I will see it tomorrow morning." Li Jing and Xu Shiji ordered.
Xu Shiji didn't understand.
But years of war experience told him that he would do it according to Li Jing's request.
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
"Duke Wei, do you need to prepare anything else?" Xu Shiji nodded and asked again.
"Don't spread the news about Your Majesty's unhinderedness for the time being, so as not to let the soldiers let them guess the news that Zhao Chen is still alive."
"This time I returned to Chang'an, every step was like walking on thin ice. We couldn't do anything else, but we had to help him keep the news." Li Jing thought for a while and said to Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji nodded and left.
Li Jing pinched the note that Zhao Chen had left in his hand and asked Li Ruoshuang to stuff it to him.
