"General Hou, our army is invincible in conquering cities and territories. Now it has conquered four cities in Gaochang Kingdom. It is only two hundred miles away from the capital of Gaochang Kingdom!"
"I believe that in ten days we can sit in the Gaochang Kingdom and have a good time drinking and talking!" The city of Gaochang Kingdom has now been occupied by Tibet.
Songtsan Gampo was holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, his face full of joy.
Dealing with Gaochang Kingdom was easier than he imagined. In just over half a month, they had conquered four cities in Gaochang Kingdom.
It has even gradually approached the capital of Gaochang.
Cadre Songtsan was very excited, which meant that he would be able to capture Gaochang soon.
Now he has sent General Luo Xi to lead his troops and horses to move forward, preparing to attack the capital of Gaochang at any time.
Hou Junji was sitting next to Songtsen cadre, and he smiled when he heard Songtsan cadre's words.
Thanks to Luo Xi for killing Zhao Chen this time, otherwise how could their attack on Gaochang City have gone so smoothly.
As long as Gaochang Kingdom is captured, Songtsen Gampo will immediately lead his army to attack the Tang Dynasty. Then it will be the time for his Hou Junji to take revenge.
Hou Junji still felt angry when he thought about being forced to leave Chang'an.
He worked for Li Shimin, but he was abandoned like a chicken. Unfortunately, Zhao Chen was already dead, otherwise Hou Junji would have tortured him.
Hou Junji is even thinking now, if he had been more ruthless and killed the still-growing Zhao Chen, would he have ended up in this situation today?
However, the culprit of all this is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and Hou Junjie must personally catch Li Shimin.
"What His Majesty the King said is that the capture of Gaochang this time is just around the corner, but the Tang Dynasty is not as weak as we imagined. Even if we capture Gaochang, we still need to be careful of the Tang army!" Although Hou Junji was excited, he was not overly excited.
Blinded the mind.
He has been in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, so of course he is familiar with the situation in the Tang army.
What's more, under Zhao Chen's improvements, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty army increased exponentially, as well as the terrifying sky-blasting cannon and the bed crossbow that could penetrate the bodies of soldiers. These were first-class killing weapons.
The Songtsan cadres really despised the Tang army and were destined to perish themselves.
Songtsen Gampo smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "General Hou is right, but we have already captured Zhao Chen, and if we capture Gaochang again, the Tang army will definitely be frightened by the news. By then we can actually capture it without any effort."
Chang'an!"
Songtsan Gampo is looking forward to the future very much. He has defeated Zhao Chen, the inner demon, and naturally has no fear anymore.
Hou Junji nodded slightly. He was now afraid that Songgan cadres would get hot-headed and ignore it. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If he is not cautious in dealing with the Tang Dynasty, he may have endless troubles.
Hou Junji was about to leave when a Tibetan soldier broke in from outside: "Your Majesty, our scouts have sent news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has come to the front line in person!"
"What?"
"Li Shimin came in person?"
"How many people did you bring?"
When Songtsan cadre heard that Li Shimin was coming to the front line in person, his face immediately showed surprise.
He had people spread the news about Zhao Chen's accident in Chang'an, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to arrive so quickly.
How long has it passed?
Does this also mean that there is no news about Zuo Chen from the Tang Dynasty?
So Zhao Chen is really dead!
When Luo Xi reported Zhao Chen's life and death to him, Songtsen Gampo was actually worried.
After all, how could he completely believe Losey's words if he never saw people alive or dead?
At that time, he had no one available and could not kill his own general during the war, so he just let it go.
Luoxi was even appointed Prime Minister of Tibet.
Now that Li Shimin has come in person, does that mean that Zhao Chen is really dead!
Thinking of this, Songtsen Gampo's face showed deep surprise.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Shimin has indeed come to the front line in person. He and Wei Zheng have led hundreds of people to the capital of Gaochang."
"There are rumors that Li Shimin originally wanted to abandon the entire Gaochang Kingdom and let all Tang troops search for Zhao Chen, but was dissuaded by Li Jing and Wei Zheng!" the soldier continued.
Hou Junji also looked happy at this moment.
Li Shimin personally visited the front line and also went to the capital of Gaochang, which meant that they could meet in the capital of Gaochang soon.
Thinking of Li Shimin's expulsion, Hou Junji couldn't help but clenched his fists.
If it weren't for Li Shimin's malicious favoritism and concealment of Zhao Chen's identity, how could Hou Junji have fallen to where he is today?
"Your Majesty the King, Li Shimin has come to the front line. This is an excellent opportunity for us. As long as we can break through the capital of Gaochang and capture Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty can surrender without a fight."
"Without Zhao Chen and Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty would be like a plate of loose sand. It would fall apart as soon as the wind blows without us having to do anything!" Hou Junji looked at Songtsen Gampo with a smile.
Cadre Songtsan began to get excited, as if he had already seen the scene where he captured Li Shimin.
"Tell Luo Xi to push forward with all his strength, and I will lead the army to personally attack the capital of Gaochang!"
"We must capture Li Shimin in this battle!" Songtsen Gampo's eyes sparkled.
"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.
…
Regarding Li Shimin's arrival, Wu Xu felt a little uneasy.
But as of now, he has no choice.
If something happens to Zhao Chen, the emperor will still not let anyone go.
He originally wrote to Li Shimin and asked Li Shimin to send Zhao Chen to take him back in exchange for the entire Gaochang.
Now that something happened to Zhao Chen, Li Shimin would definitely put all the blame on himself.
At this moment, Wu Xu didn't have any emotions in his heart. Facing the Tang Emperor Li Shimin in front of him, he just bowed slightly and saluted.
Li Shimin didn't say a word and looked at Wu Xu in front of him expressionlessly.
If I wasn't thinking about this woman, how could she be involved in so many things?
For the sake of the land of Gaochang Kingdom, he did not hesitate to let Zhao Chen lead troops to assist Gaochang, and as a result, such a big thing happened.
Compared to Zhao Chen, Li Shimin didn't think it was worth even ten hundred Gaochangs.
But now there is no turning back. No matter what, we have to get through the difficulties in front of us first.
"Lao Niu, what's the situation ahead now?" Li Shimin turned back and looked at Niu Jinda, who was dressed in military uniform.
The top priority is to overcome the current difficulties, otherwise not only will he lose Zhao Chen, but also Gaochang will be taken away by the Tubo.
Niu Jinda slightly arched his hands, with a troubled look on his face, and said slowly after a long time: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation at hand is critical. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend the capital of Gaochang Kingdom for a long time!"
As soon as he heard Niu Jinda saying that the capital of Gaochang Kingdom had been defended for a short time, Li Shimin's face immediately showed embarrassment.
He was a little confused. Niu Jin's army numbered 30,000, and together with Li Jing's more than 40,000 troops, it was nearly 80,000.
However, the Tibetan Songtsan cadres only had 130,000 troops. How come the capital of Gaochang could not be defended?
