Of course Xu Shiji believed in the emperor's attitude, but attitude was attitude, and the soldiers might not be able to stick to it.
"Your Majesty, go back, it's getting cold." Xu Shiji said to the emperor.
The emperor made no move, looking at the Goguryeo camp in front of him.
Xu Shiji followed the emperor's gaze and looked over.
Then he saw a horse rushing out from the opposite side and stopping two hundred steps away from the Tang army camp.
"Listen, people of the Tang Dynasty, our commander-in-chief has said that we will come out and fight to the death at noon tomorrow," the Goguryeo cavalry shouted.
After leaving such a sentence, he turned his horse around and returned to his own camp.
"Military advisor, what does Yeon Gaesumun mean? There has been no movement for more than a month, and today you suddenly declare a war with our army?" The emperor looked at the leaving Goguryeo cavalry with a trace of doubt on his face.
Since that day, Zhao Chen sent Xue Rengui to defeat Yuengai Suwen. Until just now, Yuengai Suwen had not taken the initiative to challenge them again.
Yeon Gaesumun suddenly sent someone to declare a challenge, which really made the emperor feel a little strange.
When Xu Shiji was asked this question by the emperor, he also felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, did something happen to our transport team, so Yeon Gaesumuncai..."
"We ourselves don't know about the situation of the transport team, how could he, Yun Gaesumun, know about it?" the emperor interrupted Xu Shiji.
Moreover, the emperor felt that if there was really a problem with the transport team, Yeon Gaesumun should spend more time with them.
It was so exhausting that the Tang army could not continue to fight in a low-temperature environment.
Instead of sending people to tell us that we are going to fight to the death at this time.
Xu Shiji also nodded at this moment, what the emperor said was not unreasonable.
But what’s the significance of Yeon Gae So-moon’s declaration of war at this time?
"Your Majesty, let's go back and discuss with the generals first. Maybe we can figure it out." Xu Shiji said to the emperor.
The emperor nodded, feeling slightly worried.
…
"Mr. Hou, it's really thanks to you this time."
"If it weren't for Mr. Hou, how could we have killed Zhao Chen."
"Although Zhao Chen is not very senior, as Mr. Hou said, he is quite capable."
"But fortunately, I killed him this time."
"I wonder what Li Shimin's expression would be if he heard that we brought him such news tomorrow."
In the Goguryeo military camp, Yeon Gaesumun looked happy when he heard that the soldiers had returned.
They had just received the news from Chang'an.
It was said that Zhao Chen had drunk poisonous wine and fell off a cliff.
Although no body was found, everyone clearly knew that in such a situation, there was no hope of living.
At this moment, Yeon Gaesumun was in an extremely good mood.
That's why he just couldn't wait to declare a war with the Tang army.
He wanted to see how Li Shimin would behave after learning about the news of Zhao Chen's death.
Will Li Shimin be able to bear the death of his son whose identity he has always concealed?
Hou Junji sat aside, his face full of joy.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, why would Hou Junji have been exiled to barbarian lands like Goguryeo?
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, he, Hou Junji, would still be the supreme Minister of War and the first-rank Duke of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, he finally waited for the news of Zhao Chen's death.
Seeing Yuangai Suwen so excited, Hou Junji suddenly had another idea in his mind.
"Commander, I have another idea here. Even if I can't kill Li Shimin tomorrow, I can still make him completely crazy." Hou Junji and Yuengai Suwen said with a smile.
When Yeon Gaesumun heard what Hou Junji said, the smile on his face faded.
He cupped his hands with Hou Junji and said, "If there is such a method, the Tang army will definitely be in chaos. Please teach me, sir!"
Hou Junji nodded. Although he didn't have too much faith in Yuengai Suwen, they both had a common enemy at the moment.
Zhao Chen is dead, but the emperor is still alive and well.
Didn't the emperor always favor Zhao Chen?
Hou Junji wanted to know that if Li Shimin knew that the mastermind behind this incident would be his son Li Tai.
It was Li Tai who poisoned Zhao Chen to death, and even his body was not found.
How would Li Shimin feel in his heart?
Will he fall off his horse on the spot?
"I will show up in front of the two armies tomorrow..."
"Mr. Hou, wouldn't it be bad if you showed up? Those people in the Tang Army hate you very much. If..." Yuan Gaisuwen looked hesitant.
"It doesn't matter, hearing the news of Zhao Chen's death is enough to make them at a loss."
"If I were to point the finger at Li Tai as the murderer of Zhao Chen again, Li Shimin would probably be angry to death on the spot, and the rest of the Tang army generals would also be in panic."
"Especially Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and their respective sons who have a very good relationship with Zhao Chen."
"Speaking of this, I suddenly feel impatient to finish today." Hou Junji showed a thick smile on his face.
"By the way, Commander, we can arrange some archers tomorrow to take advantage of the Tang army generals' relaxation when they heard the news to launch a surprise attack on Li Shimin."
"If I can shoot him, it would be best. If I can't, it doesn't matter."
"The news of Zhao Chen's death was enough to make Li Shimin collapse for a long time."
"This period of time will be our opportunity to completely defeat the Tang army." Hou Junji and Yuan Gaisuwen told him again.
Yeon Gaesumun nodded.
He believed that Hou Junji knew those people in the Tang army.
He must be very familiar with Emperor Li Shimin.
Hou Junji knew better than himself how Li Shimin would feel when he heard the news about Zhao Chen's death and that Li Tai was the mastermind behind it.
"Okay, I will have people apply poison on the arrow clusters. Even if Li Shimin is not killed by an arrow, he will be poisoned and die."
"This is just like killing father and son." Yeon Gaesowun sneered.
…
Hongfunu led the Xuanjia Army to the place where Zhao Chen had the accident.
The entire mountain forest was searched, and people were even sent to the bottom of the cliff to look for traces of Zhao Chen.
But nothing was found.
The three thousand Xuanjia troops were also extremely exhausted at this moment.
They came out of Chang'an City without resting for a moment.
In addition to solving personal problems, even eating is just some dry food on horseback.
"Mrs. Li, we have searched all over and found no trace. There are traces of rummaging in the mountains and forests. It should be that people from the transportation team went to the mountains and forests to find General Zhao." The general of the Xuanjia Army and Hong Fu
The woman said.
Hong Fu Nu also looked tired at this moment.
After she came out of Chang'an, she never rested all the way.
After working hard for several days, her face looked very bad.
"I'm informing everyone that everyone should have a good rest and stop looking for now." Hongfu Nu said as she looked at the Xuanjia Army officers whose eyes were slightly darkened.
The Xuanjia Army generals were stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Zhao Chen has been in trouble for a long time. If he is alive, he must still be alive.
If something happened, all they could do was recover the body.
There are so many people in the Xuanjia Army, and they have been looking for him for so long. They have basically searched the area, but there is no trace of Zhao Chen.
This left everyone confused.
There is no trace of Zhao Chen at this moment, and neither is her daughter Li Ruoshuang.
The red-flecked girl was sitting beside the official road, with a look of sadness on her face.?
