Chapter 1115 Your Highness, What Should We Do?

"Commander, the Tang army has begun to retreat. It is probably because Li Shimin was poisoned that they are in trouble."

"In other words, Li Shimin is already dead."

"That's why they were rushing to evacuate."

Yuan Gaisuwen's tent, Hou Junji opened the tent and spoke to Yuan Gaisuwen.

Yeon Gaesumun was discussing the next arrangements with a group of generals. When he saw Hou Junji walking in, he was stunned for a moment.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Hou Junji said with a smile, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Mr. Hou, stay here. I am just about to send someone to invite you. It just so happens that we can sit down and discuss it together!" Yuan Gaisuwen and Hou Junji shouted.

Hou Junji turned around, nodded and sat down aside.

"We have also received the news that Mr. Caihou said just now, so we are discussing how to act next."

"I wonder if Mr. Hou has any good ideas!" Yuan Gaisuwen asked Hou Junji with a smile.

All the Goguryeo generals looked at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji did not panic. He stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, "Now that Li Shimin has been poisoned, there is not much time left. According to our previous plan, Li Tai should know that we exposed his plan."

"Li Shimin will definitely send someone back to Chang'an to capture Li Tai. Maybe they are on the way now."

"If Li Shimin is in good health, Li Tai will not dare to make any move."

"But Li Shimin is dead. As long as Li Tai persists for a month or two, when Li Shimin dies, he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Tai knows his priorities well."

"Now that Li Shimin withdraws his troops, he will definitely station the army in Cangzhou to block our army's advance."

"According to what I think, we only need to station troops outside Cangzhou, and the remaining troops will control the towns north of Cangzhou. This can also increase the strength of our army."

"When Li Shimin and Li Tai fight internally and the morale of the Cangzhou army becomes unstable, it will be our opportunity to attack Cangzhou."

"The losses of our army can also be minimized by then."

"What do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"

After Hou Junji finished speaking his thoughts, all the Goguryeo generals looked thoughtful.

Yeon Gaesumun frowned.

What he wanted to do was take advantage of Li Shimin's poisoning and the possibility of civil strife in Datang at any time.

Send troops directly to attack Cangzhou.

Yeon Gaesumun believed that with their current military strength, capturing Cangzhou would be a piece of cake.

We still have to wait for Li Shimin and Li Tai to completely break into civil strife. If Li Shimin takes down Li Tai forcefully, what use will Hou Junji's plan have?

"Mr. Hou, the general feels something is wrong. Li Shimin is also the emperor after all. Even if Li Tai has intentions, he may not be Li Shimin's opponent."

"Waiting for such an uncertain opportunity will throw away the victory that my army is about to win on the ground again?"

"My suggestion is to directly send troops to pursue, capture Cangzhou, and capture the entire Tang Dynasty!" Huizhen stood up and opposed Hou Junji's method.

"General Huizhen is right. After waiting for so long, who knows what the final result will be?"

"Besides, are our Goguryeo soldiers afraid of death?" Someone else stood up to oppose Hou Junji's words.

Hou Junji performed too well in front of Yeon Gaesumun.

There will be no generals who will be jealous of him.

At this moment, Huizhen objected, and Yeon Gaesumun himself did not affirm Hou Junji, which was a hint that they opposed Hou Junji's suggestion.

Hou Junji also reacted and sneered secretly in his heart.

"Mr. Hou's idea is good, but it's a bit childish to say that our victory or defeat depends on whether Li Tai can fight with Li Shimin."

"It's better to follow everyone's opinions, pursue the Tang army, capture Cangzhou directly, and march to the Central Plains." Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Hou Junji and said with a smile.

Yuengai Suwen has said this, but Hou Junji still needs to say something.

Hand in hand with Yeon Gae Su Wen Gong, it’s time to turn around.

Leave.

"Commander, to use the words of the Tang people, I am afraid that Hou Junji is not trying to reap the benefits." Huizhen walked to Yuan Gaisuwen and whispered.

Yeon Gaesumun shook his head and did not express any opinion.

…

Kong Yingda came back from Zhongshu Provincial Office today and received a letter from the front line.

After taking it apart, Kong Yingda almost fell down on the steps of his house.

Kong Yingda would never have thought that this letter was sent to him by Hou Junji.

And the content of this letter made Kong Yingda feel on pins and needles.

Without any time to think about it, he went to the East Palace overnight.

If this news is not discussed and dealt with in time, both he and Li Tai will die without a burial place!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is receiving guests, Mr. Yingda, please wait a moment." The attendant of the East Palace said to Kong Yingda.

Where does Kong Yingda still have the time to wait here?

Even if it is a big thing, it is not as important as what he wants to talk to Li Tai now.

"Go away!" Kong Yingda pushed the East Palace attendant away.

Now he is in no mood to wait here.

"Hey Mr. Yingda!" The attendant chased after him.

Kong Yingda came to Li Tai's palace and saw Li Tai sitting on a cushion in front of him. Sitting next to him was Changsun Wuji, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Changsun Wuji has never been seen again since he was demoted to his hometown by the emperor.

I don’t want to see Changsun Wuji here again now!

"Mr. Yingda, why are you here?" Li Tai asked with a smile when he saw Kong Yingda.

"Your Highness, something big has happened!" Kong Yingda couldn't laugh at all at this moment.

Li Tai frowned. He didn't know what happened to make Kong Yingda so anxious.

He looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile: "Uncle, Qingque has something to do today. I'll ask uncle to talk to me someday."

Changsun Wuji stood up and glanced at Kong Ying

Da, only handed over to Li Taigong, turned around and left without saying anything.

"Mr. Yingda, what makes you so panicked?"

"You are also Minister Zuopushe now, how can you be so helpless?" Li Tai reprimanded Kong Yingda with a look of displeasure on his face.

He invited Changsun Wuji to Chang'an because he wanted to ask Changsun Wuji to help him.

Even if the emperor had previously ordered that Changsun Wuji not be allowed to serve as an official again, it was still possible to help him secretly.

Unexpectedly, before the invitation was even spoken, Kong Yingda came and ruined his good deed!

"Your Highness, things have gotten serious. We were betrayed by Hou Junji!"

"He told His Majesty about our dealings with Zhao Chen!"

"This is a letter from Hou Junji to us!" Kong Yingda couldn't stand Li Tai's scolding and thrust the letter into Li Tai's hand.

Pointing at the letter, she trembled and didn't know what to say.

Li Tai's heart trembled suddenly.

Li Tai was very proud of himself after taking care of Zhao Chen.

He believed that Hou Junji was with him.

It was then and it should be now.

Looking at the contents of the letter in his hand, Li Tai felt that his mind was in chaos.

Hou Junji sold himself out and told him in front of the emperor about his plan to assassinate Zhao Chen.

He even gave his letter to the emperor.

The emperor was also distracted by this incident and was poisoned and injured by Yeon Gaesumun's men in a sneak attack.

Li Tai could already imagine how the emperor would deal with him.

In particular, Hou Junji said that he told the emperor that after he knew Zhao Chen's identity, he still killed Zhao Chen.

At this moment, Li Tai felt cold all over his body, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart.

Sitting slumped on the soft cushion, Li Tai's hands were trembling.

The letter fell on the tea cup without realizing it.

"Your Highness, what should we do!" Kong Yingda looked panicked.
