The emperor originally wanted Zhao Chen to come over and chat with him.
Even if this kid doesn't comfort himself, then forget it.
You can just sit here quietly and be a listener.
Who would have thought that this guy Zhao Chen would say such annoying words?
Why is he angry here?
It wasn't because he wanted Zhao Chen to go up, but Xu Shiji was very dissatisfied with his idea.
That's why he, the emperor, is so angry.
But this bastard in front of me...
"Hey, Old Li Tou, why do you want me to command the entire army?"
"Uncle Niu has told me about this before, and I have clearly told him that this will not work."
"Why do you have to bring this matter up?" Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks and asked the emperor.
The emperor looked at Zhao Chen.
Why else would he have to bring this matter up.
Isn't it because the frontline operations are ineffective? If they don't change their command, every move they make will not be planned by Hou Junji?
I want to replace Zhao Chen not only because I want Zhao Chen to get more credit, but also because I know Zhao Chen’s ability.
Let him go, maybe Hou Junji can be beaten by surprise.
But the emperor didn't want to talk to Zhao Chen about these things.
"I have my own considerations. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Shiji should naturally obey my orders."
"I just raised this opinion, and he is scorning me?" The emperor was quite aggrieved.
After all, he is also an emperor. As soon as he said this, someone spoke against him?
If everything is like today, will he still be an emperor in the future?
"Have you not noticed, Old Li Tou, you are very easy to get angry? You are also the emperor after all, why are you so grumpy?" Zhao Chen frowned.
The emperor took a deep breath.
He is not particularly easily angry, but he is often made so angry by Zhao Chen.
Just like before.
"Are you going to tell me this today?" Old Li Tou looked at Zhao Chen and said in a deep voice.
"Of course not." Zhao Chen said.
"How are you going to deal with Yuengai Suwen next?" Zhao Chen asked the emperor again.
The emperor was stunned.
He originally thought that Zhao Chen would continue to persuade him about Xu Shiji, but he didn't want to talk about how to deal with Yeon Gaesumun again at this moment.
How could it be so easy to deal with Yeon Gae So Moon?
There are so many things that he needs to deal with right now, and he doesn't have time to think about how to deal with Yeon Gaesumun.
He shook his head and looked at Zhao Chen.
I thought that since Zhao Chen took the initiative to talk about this matter, he must have an idea.
"After I came back in the afternoon, I read all the news about the Goguryeo camp that the scouts found."
"The Goguryeo camp is located at the water source of Niutou Bay. There are many camps and fortresses. With our military strength, it is absolutely impossible to attack by force."
"The only thing is that Yeon Gaesumun did not put the food and grass in his own camp, but stationed it in Zhenyuan City fifty miles away."
"Do you want people to attack Yuan Gaisuwen's food and grass?" The emperor immediately understood Zhao Chen's thoughts.
But he shook his head and said: "Yuan Gaisuwen has stationed an army of five thousand men in Zhenyuan City."
"There are two roads from us to Zhenyuan City. Not to mention that Yeon Gaesumun has already blocked the two roads. Even if our people successfully reach the outside of Zhenyuan City, how can they successfully burn it from the hands of five thousand people?
forage?"
There is no other way at hand.
But the method Zhao Chen said has a very low probability of success.
The interweaving of secrets means that they can't make too much noise and there can't be too many people.
Otherwise, large-scale troop mobilization will definitely arouse Yeon Gaesowun's vigilance.
But with a small number of people, how could they break through the 5,000 Goguryeo defenders in Zhenyuan City?
"We don't have enough people on the frontal battlefield. If we don't think of a way from the side and stay here with Yeon Gaesumun, I'm afraid the morale of the soldiers will collapse again." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
Of course the emperor knew what Zhao Chen said was reasonable.
But it would be too risky to send a small force to attack Yeon Gaesumun's granary.
Moreover, once Yeon Gaesumun is alerted, there will never be a second chance.
"Is there any other way?" the emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
"There are other ways." Zhao Chen nodded.
"any solution?"
"Yeon Gae So-moon died suddenly and violently!"
Old Li Tou: "???"
…
After chatting with Zhao Chen for a long time, the emperor still did not agree with Zhao Chen's method.
In fact, it was the emperor himself who wanted to see if there was any other way.
But his mood improved a lot.
He was not as angry as when Zhao Chen first entered the camp.
Datang was discussing countermeasures, and Yuengai Suwen was not idle either.
At this moment, he was still discussing with Hou Junji how to deal with the Tang army.
"Commander, I still have to remind you that more troops need to be sent to the granary in Zhenyuan City."
"The Tang army cannot defeat us from the front, so they will definitely think of other ways, and the food and grass in Zhenyuan City is related to the success or failure of our army."
"It's better to be careful!" Hou Junji and Yuan Gaisuwen reminded.
Yeon Gaesumun nodded.
He still attached great importance to Hou Junji's suggestions.
At least when fighting against the veterans of the Tang Army, Hou Junji never made any mistakes in his suggestions.
It also enables our own army to be overwhelming.
"Mr. Hou is saying that Zhenyuan City needs to be more careful, otherwise Li Shimin might send people to burn our food and grass."
"That would be troublesome." Yeon Gaesumun nodded.
"Li Shimin would not take such a risk and dare to come over knowing that our army is stationed in Zhenyuan City."
"But Zhao Chen is different. That guy likes to take the wrong approach. He will definitely make such suggestions to Li Shimin."
"Even if Li Shimin doesn't agree at first, he will still agree if he never finds an opportunity."
"So, if Zhenyuan City is defended well, maybe we can capture Zhao Chen." Hou Junji and Yuengai Suwen were talking.
There was a trace of annoyance on Yuan Gaesuwen's face.
Now whenever he hears Zhao Chen's name, he becomes irritable.
In today's battle, he was defeated once again by Zhao Chen.
Thinking about how powerful the army he had led since the war between the two countries started, he didn't want to fall into the hands of a kid younger than himself several times!
"Zhao Chen, it's that Zhao Chen again!"
"Huizhen, please pass on my commander's order to send another two thousand people to Zhenyuan City. The rear must be guarded."
"If something happens, they are the only ones asking." Yeon Gae So-moon and Hye-jin outside shouted.
"Yes, Marshal!" Huizhen took the order and left.
In the camp, Yeon Gaesumun was still frowning.
Now that they have arranged things in the rear, they can't keep stationing troops here and stop moving forward.
"Mr. Hou, do you still have anyone you can use in Chang'an?" Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Hou Junji and asked.
The two armies are still facing each other here, and there is no chance to completely defeat each other.
Yeon Gaesumun also had to think of ways to find an opportunity to defeat the Tang army.
In order to defeat the Tang army, the best way Yuan Gaisuwen can think of now is to do it from within the Tang army.
Yuan Gaisuwen knew that there were many people in Chang'an City who wanted to deal with Zhao Chen.
If he could hit Zhao Chen hard from behind.
Perhaps the current dilemma will be solved.
When the time comes, the hearts of the Tang army will be shaken. Will they still be Yun Gaesumun’s opponent?
