Chapter 1,060 I Didn’t Mean to Interrupt You

Everyone naturally understands what Xu Shiji said.

But we can no longer allow deserters to appear, we can only severely punish deserters.

Is it possible that they are going to catch all the deserters now and execute them all?

If the already weakened military morale continues like this, the army may directly turn against them.

"Military advisor, this matter needs long-term consideration."

"Deserting needs to be banned, but it must not be severe." .??.

"The failure of the battle is not the responsibility of the soldiers, but the problem of us generals."

"It is human nature for soldiers to be afraid."

"If we pursue them, I'm afraid it will attract other soldiers..." Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji said slowly.

In other words, he had a good relationship with Xu Shiji, so he dared to say something questioning his decision.

"Uncle Bao, I know the consequences of doing this, but if there is no punishment, wouldn't the other soldiers also run away after seeing this?"

"Furthermore, if Yuan Gaisuwen uses cow Jinda to threaten us later, and the soldiers see it, what should we do?" Xu Shiji said slowly.

Now that Niu Jinda was captured alive, the soldiers still didn't know what to think.

If the deserters show up again, the army will be dispersed.

"I have already made a decision on this matter. If your Majesty is punished in the future, I will bear it alone." Xu Shiji waved his hand to signal everyone to stop talking.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong left the Zhongjun tent, and they looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Old Cheng, what should we do now? Niu Jinda was captured alive. It's not a matter of punishing deserters or not punishing them." Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin sighed.

He has no choice now.

At this moment, the Tang army was already at a disadvantage, and if other troubles occurred, what would happen next?

"I heard that His Majesty is going on an expedition this time, and Zhao Chen has also been asked to accompany the army."

"If he were here, maybe he could think of a way." Cheng Yaojin sighed.

Now when everyone was helpless, he naturally thought of Zhao Chen.

Qin Qiong also sighed.

This matter has fallen into a

It's a dead end, even if Zhao Chen comes, there's no way around it.

"Zhao Chen is a smart boy with a quick mind. If he were here, even if he couldn't solve all the problems, he would probably be able to come up with a delaying strategy."

"The biggest question now is, what to do with Niu Jinda?"

"He has a very good relationship with Zhao Chen. If Zhao Chen knew that he was in such a serious situation, he would probably..." Qin Qiong said slowly, with a worried look on his face.

…

Twenty miles across from Niutou Bay.

It is the garrison camp of Yeongaesumun, Goguryeo.

Yeon Gae Suwen is not too old, has a tall figure and is very handsome in appearance.

The clothes are decorated with gold.

He wears five swords on his waist. These are five swords made by Yeon Gaesumun himself.

Just standing at a distance makes me feel unbearable.

The people standing next to him didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Commander, the Tang general we captured hasn't opened his mouth yet."

"If we continue to fight, we probably won't be able to survive." In front of Yeon Gaesumun, the Goguryeo general knelt on the ground and reported to him.

The Tang general they were talking about was naturally Niu Jinda.

Niu Jinda has been tortured by them since he was captured.

Yuan Gaisuwen wanted to get some information from Niu Jinda about the opposite Tang army.

But three days later, except for Niu Jinda's life, all the instruments of torture were used by Niu Jinda.

But even so, they didn't get any information out of Niu Jinda's mouth.

"He's just a general of the Tang Army. If he's beaten to death, he'll be beaten to death. If he keeps fighting, if he doesn't say anything, he'll be beaten to death." The person who spoke was also a general under Yeon Gaesumun named Huizhen.

This man has a sinister face and a ferocious look.

He is the number one under Yeon Gae So-moon.

general.

Previously, he and Cheng Yaojin fought on the battlefield for fifty rounds with no outcome.

He had a high prestige among the Goguryeo army.

Because in the previous battle, Tang Jun shot and killed his brother who was also in the army, and now he hated Tang Jun deeply.

Hearing what Huizhen said, his generals stood up and wanted to leave.

Since he couldn't ask, it would be the easiest thing to kill him.

"Wait a minute." Yeon Gaesumun waved his hand and shouted with the general.

"Commander." The general turned around and bowed. ??

"I heard that Niu Jinda has a good relationship with Zhao Chen of the Tang Dynasty. Is this possible?" Yuan Gaisuwen and Huizhen asked.

Huizhen was stunned for a moment.

Then he nodded and said, "The commander-in-chief is right. That's what the news said."

"I heard that in Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Jinda had a very close relationship with Zhao Chen."

"I heard from General Hou that the most difficult person in the entire Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly Zhao Chen."

"When I was in Goguryeo, I often received news about Zhao Chen."

"Since Niu Jinda has a good relationship with Zhao Chen, I think Zhao Chen would be worried if he knew that Niu Jinda was captured alive by this commander."

"In this way, let's save the old guy's life first. When Zhao Chen comes, let me go and meet him."

"It's also a good way to give General Hou some vent."

The General Hou mentioned by Yuan Gaisuwen was naturally Hou Junji who fled Chang'an City.

Yuan Gaisuwen also learned something about Zhao Chen from Hou Junji.

For such a young man, Yeon Gaesumun was naturally curious.

He wanted to see what the young man who even Hou Junji was afraid of looked like.

…

It has been three days since the army left Chang'an City.

During every break, the emperor would sit in the camp and discuss the battle on the front line with a group of generals.

Zhao Chen was not called over, so he was naturally happy and at ease. <

br>

Except for Li Ruoshuang, who was a little concerned about her daughter, she had nothing else to do.

When I stay with Zhao Chen, I am always smiling every day.

Li Ke would come back from hunting a few hares from the mountains and forests from time to time. The march was not particularly boring.

"Zhao Chen, I heard that the generals of Goguryeo are very capable. Do I have a chance to go into battle and fight with them this time?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself." Li Ruoshuang sat next to Zhao Chen and held Zhao Chen's arm.

Zhao Chen looked over.

When he first met Li Ruoshuang, he knew that she regarded Princess Pingyang as her idol.

Dreaming that one day I can go into battle and kill the enemy.

This time was the closest she had ever been to the battlefield, so expectations naturally rose in her heart.

"No matter how good they are, they can't compare to you."

"If there is a chance, do you agree to go up and fight with the enemy general?" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded to Li Ruoshuang.

Li Ruoshuang was extremely surprised.

With her last sentence, she was already prepared for Zhao Chen to reject her.

But at this moment, she actually heard Zhao Chen say, can he agree to go to the battlefield?

"You don't object?" Li Ruoshuang's face was filled with disbelief.

"Why do you object? You are my wife. As long as I protect you, I will not let you get hurt." Zhao Chen rubbed Li Ruoshuang's head and said with a smile.

Li Ruoshuang turned her head away, not looking at Zhao Chen.

"The battlefield is very dangerous. If you go to the battlefield with me, I will still have to worry about you."

"It's better not to go."

"It's good to take a look at it from a distance." Li Ruoshuang turned around and said with a smile.

"Why are you so sensible all of a sudden?"

"I've always been very sensible, it's you..."

"Ahem, sister-in-law, I didn't interrupt you on purpose. In fact, my father has something to do with my husband." Behind him, Li Ke's voice suddenly sounded.
