Chapter 1,072 You Have to Pay some Price

Niu Jinda was tied to the pole. Looking at Huizhen in front of him who was captured alive by Zhao Chen, Niu Jinda just wanted to laugh loudly.

"Yeongae Suwen, didn't you expect that I, the great Tang Dynasty son, would be so capable?"

"After three games, you, Goguryeo, lost three games in a row."

"If I were you, I would definitely live without any dignity."

"If you don't kneel down and surrender now, when I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come, I might be able to save you from death."

"Haha - cough cough -" The wanton laughter touched the wounds on his body.

Niu Jinda coughed in pain.

The expressions of the generals beside Yeon Gae Suwen turned cold and stern.

"Old guy, although we lost, your life is still in our hands. If you bother me again, I will cut out your tongue." The Goguryeo general scolded Niu Jinda.

Niu Jinda was in a very good mood at the moment.

He ignored the Goguryeo general and continued to look down at the expressionless Yeon Gaesumun.

"Yeongae Suwen, I have been hurt like this by you, how can I be afraid anymore?"

"If you had someone cut me into pieces, I wouldn't have anything to worry about."

"Commander!" the Goguryeo generals and Yeon Gaesumun shouted.

In his opinion, an old guy who was tortured by himself and almost died dared to be so arrogant at such a time.

I really don’t know whether to live or die.

If this doesn't go his way, won't he lose face in Goguryeo?

Yeon Gae So Moon remained silent.

He knew Niu Jinda's plan.

Niu Jinda had his collarbone pierced by him. Even if he returned alive, he would never be able to return to the battlefield in this life.

If he killed Niu Jinda, Zhao Chen would definitely go berserk, and then Huizhen and Mo Tai would definitely die in the Tang Army camp.

Huizhen and Motai were only injured. After returning to their own army, they can still go to the battlefield in the future.

Moreover, Huizhen is a trusted general under him. Without him, he would feel like he has lost an arm.

Yeon Gae

Su Wen looked at Niu Jinda and said, "You want to use your own life to force Zhao Chen to kill our general. That's a great idea."

"Although Zhao Chen showed surprising strength in the duel, he did not have such good luck in the subsequent battles."

After Yeon Gaesumun finished speaking, he mounted his horse, waved his hand, turned around and left.

…

The Goguryeo army retreated, and Niu Jinda was brought back again.

In the Tang military camp, everyone returned to the Chinese military tent.

Xu Shiji personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Chen.

"Zhao Chen, thanks to you today!" As he said this, he nodded to Li Ruoshuang, Li Ke and others.

If Xu Shiji had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for Xu Shiji to believe that the younger generation of Tang Dynasty had grown to such an extent.

On the battlefield, facing famous enemy generals, he was able to achieve three victories in three battles.

Especially Zhao Chen captured Huizhen, a famous Goguryeo general, alive in front of the soldiers of both armies.

Xu Shiji hadn't seen excitement on the faces of the soldiers for a long time.

But just now...

"What did Military Master Xu say? We are also a part of the Tang Dynasty, and only by taking them down can we rescue General Niu." Zhao Chen had a smile on his face.

In today's battle, he mainly wanted to save Niu Jinda.

Although Yuengai Suwen didn't say anything on the battlefield just now, Zhao Chen knew that Yuengaisuwen understood what he meant.

It won't be long before news of the exchange of prisoners will come.

"Haha, that's right. Fortunately you came in time, otherwise we old guys wouldn't be able to do anything." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"Before I was in Chang'an, I only knew that Zhao Chen was eloquent and had many tricks. I didn't expect that he would have such skills."

"I think back then, when we were young, we were not as good as you." Qin Qiong also nodded.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu had smiles on their faces.

Although they did not play, Zhao Chen and the others received praise from their parents, which was actually the same as what they received.

After all, they all know that they are better than Li Ke.

Li Ke can take down Motel, so of course they can too.

"Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin, please don't praise us like this, otherwise we will raise our tails." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Haha——" Everyone laughed.

Li Ruoshuang stood behind Zhao Chen, looking at Zhao Chen chatting with a group of veterans, and felt very happy in her heart.

"Military advisor, Yuan Gaisuwen sent someone to deliver a letter across the way." After everyone said a few words, a soldier ran in and handed Xu Shiji a letter.

When exiting, he paused for a moment in front of Zhao Chen.

He cupped his hands with Zhao Chen before retreating.

"Zhao Chen, the soldiers admire you very much now!" Xu Shiji said half-jokingly.

"Haha, none of us are treated like this." Cheng Yaojin also laughed.

"No." Zhao Chen waved his hand and said to Xu Shiji, "Commander Xu, let's see what Yuan Gaisuwen says first."

Xu Shiji nodded, opened the letter, glanced at the letter, and handed the letter to Zhao Chen directly after reading it.

Obviously, apart from the emperor's letter, Xu Shiji now valued Zhao Chen very much.

"As you expected, Yeon Gae Suwen asked us to put Huizhen and Mo Tai back. In exchange, he would send General Niu back." Xu Shiji said.

This was their previous plan.

At this moment, it has been perfectly realized.

But Xu Shiji felt a little reluctant now.

Huizhen's importance in Goguryeo was much more important than Niu Jinda's to the Tang army.

> Besides, Niu Jinda was tortured into that state by Yeon Gaesumun.

But now, Yeon Gaesumun asked them to exchange two for one.

As a strategist, Xu Shiji considered the overall situation, and this hard-won victory was handed over so easily.

The impact on the soldiers was not very good.

"We just won a battle, and the morale of the soldiers has been improved a lot. If we let people go back so easily, it will have a big impact on the soldiers." Zhao Chen said.

His words surprised everyone.

Considering the relationship between Zhao Chen and Niu Jinda, he should be the most eager to save Niu Jinda.

Why is it now...

"Zhao Chen, what do you think?" A trace of astonishment flashed across Xu Shiji's face.

He thought he would spend a lot of time trying to persuade Zhao Chen, but he didn't expect...

"Send Huizhen back. As for Motai, kill him tomorrow morning in front of all the soldiers!"

"Young Gaesumun is so cruel, you have to pay a price." Zhao Chen and Xu Shiji said.

Hye Jin is a general under Yeon Gaesumun. If he is killed, Yeon Gaesumun will definitely not let Niu Jindal go.

Zhao Chen didn't want to see such a result.

And since the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not be disappointed, the unimportant Mo Tai was naturally the best victim.

It can not only appease the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but also frighten Yuan Gaisuwen.

"I think it's feasible, what do you think?" Xu Shiji nodded, and couldn't help but take another high look at Zhao Chen.

I thought no wonder Cheng Yaojin and the others were so confident in Zhao Chen's arrival.

"Zhao Chen has a good idea. This can not only scare Yuan Gaisuwen and let him know that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty must avenge their grievances, but also exchange Huizhen for Lao Niu."

"The soldiers will also regain their confidence."

"It works!" Cheng Yaojin nodded.

The others nodded in agreement.
