Yeon Gaesumun stared at Zhao Chen on the tower with a cold face.
To be honest, he was a little afraid of Zhao Chen from the bottom of his heart.
Yeon Gaesumun also didn't understand why Zhao Chen had such terrifying strength at such a young age.
But today, he, Yeon Gaesumun, is full of confidence.
The defenders of the new city have been attacked by the original rebels for these days. Although the rebels under Yeon Gaesowun have been exhausted, the defenders of the new city have lost much fighting spirit.
Today I came with a large army just to give the New City defenders a final blow.
Even if Zhao Chen stood on the city tower, he could not stop the attack of thousands of Goguryeo troops with just one person.
He came here today to put pressure on the New City defenders.
Instead of letting Zhao Chen scare him back.
"The new city defenders on the tower, listen, I am Yeon Gaesumun, the commander-in-chief of Goguryeo."
"Now you have only one way to go, and that is to leave the city and surrender. I can let you live, otherwise once the new city is destroyed, you will all die." Yeon Gaesowun shouted at the top of his voice to the people on the tower.
The expressions of the defenders on the city tower changed drastically, and they looked at Yeon Gaesumun in front of them with fear.
"Yeon Gae So Moon, where you are standing now is where the corpses of those who believed your nonsense and chose to surrender are piled up."
"Have you forgotten that it was you who forced those Xincheng soldiers who surrendered to attack Xincheng like cannon fodder?"
"They are all dead."
"The way you talk about living is better than them dying fighting for the country. It makes people laugh out loud." Zhao Chen's voice sounded.
Yeon Gae Suwen's expression changed slightly.
He had forgotten about this incident, but Zhao Chen caught the topic and mocked him severely.
"Zhao Chen, you are so eloquent, don't even think about escaping when the city is broken." Yuengai Suwen couldn't tell Zhao Chen, so he could only keep it in his heart.
"Of course I'm not like you. In order to save my life, I lost my life in despair.
He ran away after disembarking from the army." Zhao Chen said again.
Yeon Gae So-moon clenched his fists.
He knew that he could not defeat Zhao Chen, so he immediately turned his horse's head and returned to the military formation without saying a word.
The Xincheng soldiers all looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes.
They were obviously at a disadvantage now, but Yeon Gaesumun on the opposite side actually went back in despair.
"Everyone, get ready and do your best to defend the city!" Zhao Chen turned back and looked at everyone.
"yes!"
…
"Military advisor, someone who claims to be from Wangyou Bookstore has brought a large batch of food and grass, saying that it was given to our border troops by order of His Highness the King of Han."
Xu Shiji was having a headache about food and grass.
The army was originally scheduled to set off two days ago, but now it is unable to move due to insufficient food and grass.
This made Xu Shiji worry about Zhao Chen's safety.
Today he was getting angry in a hurry, and suddenly a general ran in and told him that someone had brought food and fodder.
Xu Shiji remembered that the Xuanjia Army soldiers told him to find Wangyou Bookstore.
But Xu Shiji didn't understand.
How can a bookstore have so much food to support the operations of a hundred thousand border troops?
but now……
"Where are they?" Xu Shiji stood up quickly and dropped the map in his hand.
"Just outside the camp."
"Quickly, take me there quickly." Xu Shiji said quickly.
Outside the border camp, countless carriages gathered here.
The carriage was packed with things.
The border soldiers responsible for camp defense also stared at the thousands of people in front.
These people are not the faces of Shacheng at all.
"The military advisor is here!" someone shouted.
Everyone made a way, and Xu Shiji walked all the way to the leader.
It was somewhat surprising to see that the leader was a half-grown boy.
"My dear Huang An, by the order of His Highness the King of Han, I have sent five hundred thousand stones of food and grass to prepare the military advisors for the expedition." Huang An bowed slightly and saluted Xu Shiji.
"Five million stones of food and grass?"
"This is enough to last our 100,000-strong army for two months."
"Isn't he from Wangyou Bookstore? Where did Wangyou Bookstore get so much food and grass?"
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
When they heard that there were five hundred thousand stones of food and grass here, the expressions of the generals who followed them changed greatly.
This food and grass is enough to support their two-month campaign.
Going to Silla is not a problem at all.
But, where does Wangyou Bookstore get its supplies?
"I seem to have seen you in His Highness's house." Xu Shiji stared at the boy in front of him, feeling that he looked familiar.
"The military advisor has a good memory. A few years ago, I went to His Highness's residence with my father to pay New Year greetings, and happened to meet the military advisor." Huang An explained with a smile.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's your boy." Xu Shiji suddenly remembered.
He had seen the Huang An in front of him before in Zhao Chen's mansion.
Huang An's father was the businessman who paid for the construction of Suzaku Avenue, but he later died in the fight between Zhao Chen and the prince.
Zhao Chen was grateful for Huang An's father, so he focused on training Huang An.
I didn't expect that I would see him here today.
"Military advisor, a year ago, under the order of His Highness, in the name of Wangyou Bookstore, I bought a lot of food when the price of food was low.
The food in the hands of the people is used to balance the food prices in various cities."
"I received an order from His Highness a few days ago, asking me to send a batch of food to the border army camp."
"Because I was in a bit of a hurry, I only collected these from a dozen surrounding towns, and more food and grass will be delivered later."
"Although I don't know where the military advisor is going to lead his army, Huang An sincerely asks the military advisor to protect His Highness." Huang An explained, and asked Xu Shiji.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Your Highness." Xu Shiji would not tell others about the actions of the border troops, and could only comfort Huang An with a promise.
Huang An handed over his hand, and then asked people to unload all the food and grass.
"Military strategist, if the army needs food and grass again in the future, please strategist send someone to Wangyou Bookstore in Shacheng to contact me." Before leaving, Huang An and Xu Shiji said.
Xu Shiji nodded and held his hand towards Huang An.
Huang An led the people away, and a group of generals directed the soldiers to carry grain and grass.
One person walked up to Xu Shiji and glanced at the direction Huang An and others were leaving: "That boy said that His Highness the King of Han bought a lot of high-priced grain and grass in the name of the bookstore. Why did he do this?"
"The King of Han has no place to spend so much money?"
"You know nothing. The King of Han is using his own money to provide the people with a year's life." Xu Shiji cursed, but turned around and said, "What you said is not entirely wrong. His Highness, the King of Han, does have a lot of money."
There’s no place for it.”
God knows how much money Zhao Chen has made over the years.
Xu Shiji didn't know.
But he was certain that it would be a data that he couldn't even imagine.
None of this matters now.
The most important thing for them now is to set off immediately to Silla to support Zhao Chen.
"General Wang, please quickly send the generals above the rank of captain to come in for discussion." Xu Shiji shouted to the generals who could only carry grain and grass.
