Chapter 1091 The commander thought they were stupid
Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang mounted their horses and headed back to Chang'an.
Except for a few soldiers on the front line, not many people knew where Zhao Chen was.
In the Goguryeo military camp.
There was a hint of joy on Yeon Gaesumun's face.
Gao Jianwu finally died, which was a great thing for Yeon Gaesumun.
Originally, Gao Jianwu was close to the Tang Dynasty. He led his troops on expeditions, but was stopped by Gao Jianwu several times.
If Gao Jianwu hadn't been seriously ill, it would have been really difficult for him, Yuan Gaisu Wen, to fight this battle.
Although he holds military and political power, Gao Jianwu still holds great weight in the hearts of the people.
If he comes out and says he doesn't want to, there's nothing Yeon Gae So-moon can do about it.
Fortunately, after so long, Gao Jianwu finally died.
From now on, Gao Jianwu will have the final say in Goguryeo!
"Mr. Hou, I will ask someone to bring you some good wine and food later. Today you will have a drink with me." Yuengai Suwen and Hou Junji said with a smile.
Hou Junji didn't come here just to drink.
Besides, the Tang army is right in front of them. Drinking? It’s not that time yet.
"Commander, now Gao Jianwu is in danger of dying, and the people of Goguryeo are in mourning. This is not a suitable time to drink and have fun."
"Furthermore, I am here today because I have important matters to discuss with the commander-in-chief." Hou Junji rejected Yuan Gaesumun's invitation.
Yeon Gaesumun was a little unhappy.
I finally wanted to invite Hou Junji to a banquet, but it was better for him to forget about it if he didn't want to go to the banquet.
And you still say these unpleasant things to yourself.
However, if he was unhappy in his heart, he was still unhappy. Yeon Gaesumun still cared about Hou Junji's opinion.
"Mr. Hou's lesson is that this commander is almost confused, so he should drink this wine after defeating the Tang army." Yuengai Suwen said with a smile.
"Mr. Hou said that he has something to discuss with me, but I don't know what it is." Yuan Gaisuwen stretched out his hand and motioned for Hou Junji to sit down.
Hou Junji sat down on one side of the tent.
"Commander, there is news from Chang'an. We now have a chance." Hou Junji looked at Yuengai Suwen.
Yeon Gaesumun did not speak, but waited for Hou Junji to continue speaking.
"When Li Shimin went on the expedition this time, in order not to delay the march, all winter clothes and other things to keep out the cold were left behind in Chang'an City."
"I received the news and saw that the weather was gradually getting colder, but there was no team to transport cold-proof supplies."
"So..." Hou Junji looked at Yuengai Suwen with a smile.
He's already said this.
I believe Yeon Gae So Moon can also understand.
"Can this news be confirmed?" Yeon Gaesumun frowned.
Logically speaking, such a fatal thing is absolutely impossible to happen.
Didn't Li Shimin know that the soldiers could not survive the winter without something to keep out the cold?
Wouldn't he order Chang'an officials to deliver supplies?
Chang'an officials still dare to disobey Li Shimin's orders?
This news sounds full of contradictions.
Hou Junji naturally knew what Yuan Gaisuwen was worried about.
At this moment, he was smiling and said: "Of course I can confirm that, to be honest with Li Shimin, there are many people in Chang'an City who hate Zhao Chen."
"My suggestion is that the commander-in-chief sends people to spread the news, so that they can get into chaos first."
"We can also find opportunities to deal with them."
Of course Hou Junji wanted to deal with the Tang army in front of him.
Now there is an opportunity to disrupt the morale of the Tang army.
"Wouldn't this make Li Shimin and the others aware of this problem? I still want to..."
"If we don't spread the news, won't they feel that the weather is getting colder?"
"Or do you think the commander-in-chief thinks they are really stupid?" Hou Junji interrupted Yuengai Suwen's words without any courtesy.
Yeon Gaesumun choked at Hou Junji's words and turned pale for a while.
But he couldn't even say anything to refute Hou Junji.
Hou Junji is right. The weather is getting colder. Doesn't Li Shimin know?
Maybe someone has been sent to Chang'an to urge him.
"Mr. Hou is right, but I was negligent." Yeon Gaesowen felt very unhappy.
Hou Junji's words made him feel that Hou Junji looked down on him.
"In this case, Mr. Hou sent people to spread the news, hoping to shake the morale of the Tang army." Yuan Gaisuwen waved his hand and motioned to Hou Junji to do it.
Hou Junji glanced at Yuengai Suwen and knew that he was very dissatisfied with him.
Without saying anything else, he cupped his hands and walked out of the tent.
Yeon Gaesumun watched Hou Junji leave, with a flash of anger on his face.
He was one of the veterans who needed Hou Junji to deal with the Tang army, but Hou Junji seemed to have forgotten who he was.
Do you still think you are the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty?
"Humph!" Yeon Gaesumun snorted coldly, with a stern look on his face.
…
"Prime Minister, something's not right. It's almost August. His Majesty shouldn't have sent someone to talk about the transportation of winter goods."
At the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office, Wei Zheng approached Fang Xuanling again to discuss the matter.
"No news yet?" Fang Xuanling also looked surprised at this moment.
Wei Zheng shook his head.
There is still a month until winter starts on the front line, and it will also take a month to transport these things from Chang'an.
There is no news yet. Should we wait until the frontline soldiers die of cold?
"Did something happen to the person who sent the message on the way?" Fang Xuanling was still wondering if something happened to the person who sent the message on the way.
That's why there is no movement now.
But Wei Zheng didn't think so. He felt that Li Tai deliberately concealed the news.
After all, Li Tai is responsible for handling reports on the front line.
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer, Prime Minister, you go prepare supplies to keep out the cold, and I will go find the prince to ask." Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling said.
Wei Zhenggang wanted to leave, but was stopped by Fang Xuanling.
"The things to keep out the cold belong to the prince's charge. We need his permission before we can use them." Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng said.
"Absurd." Wei Zheng cursed and turned around and left the Zhongshu Provincial Office.
Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng's back, hesitated for a moment, and continued what he was doing.
…
"Your Highness, the servants of Wei are here." The attendants of the East Palace and Li Tai reported.
At this moment, Li Tai was watching the battle report from the front line.
After hearing the report from the attendant, before he could say anything, he heard Wei Zheng's scolding coming from outside.
"Go away, I want to see the prince and ask him if he has received the battle report from the front line."
"Now that winter is about to enter the battlefield, why haven't we sent people to deliver these cold-proof materials?" Wei Zheng's angry scolding came from afar.
Li Tai looked calm and waved to his attendants: "Please come in, servant Wei."
Wei Zheng came to Li Tai angrily, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Tai say with a smile: "I have heard what Wei Pushe said just now."
"I don't dare send people out to keep out the cold without my father's order."
Wei Zheng didn't expect Li Tai to say this.
"Then according to His Majesty the Crown Prince's wishes, without His Majesty's will, even if the soldiers on the front line are freezing their arms in the cold wind, these winter clothes and other things to keep out the cold cannot be moved?" Wei Zheng looked at Li Tai.
On the way here, Wei Zheng expected that Li Tai would say this.
Unless Li Tai really wanted to stab the emperor in the back, even after he said so, he still didn't agree to send someone to transport things?
"Wei Pushe misunderstood. What did I mean by this? My father is still on the front line. I miss my father every day and wish I could serve him by my side."
"It's just that the journey to the front line is too far. Without Father's order, if something happened on the way, these things to keep out the cold would be lost or damaged."
"How do I explain to my father?"
"How will I explain to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our country, the Tang Dynasty?"
"Wei Pushe, I have sent people to the front line. If there is news, I will definitely send people to deliver the supplies as soon as possible." Li Tai and Wei Zheng spoke with righteousness and sternness, making people unable to find anything.
