Chapter 1140 Zhao Chen May Still Be Alive

Xu Shiji held up his hands and nodded. The emperor had already comforted him. What else did he want?

Moreover, what the emperor said was true. Under his leadership, the soldiers were indeed losing battles all the time.

When Li Jing heard that the emperor said that he would commend the two of them when he returned to court one day, he looked around and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, actually the fire attack strategy was not thought up by the ministers."

"Huh?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misunderstood.

"It's true. Pouring the cloth with kerosene, throwing it with a projectile car, and setting it on fire with a rocket are definitely not the strategies we came up with." Xu Shiji was pushed by Li Jing and also spoke.

The emperor is very strange.

Such a poisonous plan was not thought up by the two guys in front of me.

Who else has such vision?

With only a little kerosene, dozens of curtains, and a few catapults, tens of thousands of enemies were killed!

"If it's not you, who is that?"

"You are in the army now. Call him over quickly. I want to see him in person." The emperor said to the two men.

This completely left Zhao Chen behind.

In other words, the emperor himself would not believe that such a strategy could be thought up by Zhao Chen.

Even though I said before, Zhao Chen has some fantastic ideas.

But on the battlefield, he never had enough experience.

Moreover, Zhao Chen had escorted Qin Qiong's coffin out of Cangzhou and back to Chang'an yesterday.

How does it have anything to do with today's battle!

"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen came up with this strategy and wrote it to me." Li Jing smiled bitterly and took out the note from Zhao Chen's entrustment.

The emperor looked at the content on the note and saw that it was indeed Zhao Chen's handwriting.

He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen is a great talent, but I am far inferior to him." Xu Shiji bowed his hands to the emperor, with admiration on his face.

If Zhao Chen were in front of him right now, perhaps Xu Shiji wouldn't have said such a thing.

Xu Shiji has been leading troops by the emperor's side all his life.

, but was compared with a young man.

Xu Shiji felt embarrassed even if he said it.

But Zhao Chen is not here at the moment, and only the two people in front of him know what he said.

No one will spread these words about myself!

Hearing Xu Shiji say that he was far inferior to Zhao Chen, Li Jing smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Chen has a bright mind and always has many unexpected ideas, but the only thing he lacks is experience.

If he had been practicing for a few years, he, the so-called military god of the Tang Dynasty, would probably have to accept defeat.

The emperor was very happy because of today's great victory.

Also because of Xu Shiji's praise of Zhao Chen.

It was hard for the emperor to imagine how difficult it would be for Xu Shiji, a veteran in the army, to admit that he was inferior to a young man.

But even so, Xu Shiji still said it.

This shows how much he recognizes Zhao Chen.

With the support of Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin and others in the army, more than half of his previous plan to let Zhao Chen gain a foothold in the army was finally completed.

"That kid has a lot of clever ideas, but he is still far behind you. From now on, you will need to teach him more."

"I am too old to defeat him!" The emperor smiled and waved his hand.

Li Jing and Xu Shiji looked at each other, smiled and held hands with the emperor.

But they heard it from these words.

The emperor was full of expectations for Zhao Chen.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, the position of prince will be passed to Zhao Chen in the future.

All three of them were silent, but their faces were full of smiles.

…

The emperor of Cangzhou City was laughing, but in the Goguryeo army camp outside the city, Yeon Gaesumun almost fainted from anger at this moment.

He never expected that an army of 30,000 people would actually

The city gates of the state were not even touched, so they lost 20,000 people.

Dozens of eight oxen crossbows were all lost in this battle.

Yeon Gaesumun now has the desire to eat people.

Twenty thousand people were burned alive under Cangzhou City, and Yuan Gaisuwen had just made a circle in the army.

With such a fire, everyone in the entire Goguryeo camp now looked panicked.

The military morale that had been boosted by killing Qin Qiong was completely burned by this fire.

In the tent, Yuan Gaisuwen's face looked like an evil ghost. No one in the tent dared to breathe loudly, let alone speak at this time.

Hou Junji sat aside, drinking wine slowly, looking at Huizhen who was stripped of her shirt and tied into a ball in front of her, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

I have already reminded you.

Cangzhou City is not so easy to attack, especially when Qin Qiong has just died in battle and Li Shimin's situation is unknown.

Forcibly attacking the city will only give the Tang army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Sure enough, a fire caused so much damage.

What a joke.

"Come here, drag this trash down and chop it down to make amends for the dead soldiers." Yeon Gae Suwen ran around angrily, finally stopped, pointed at Huizhen, and shouted angrily outside.

Two Goguryeo soldiers walked in and glanced at Huizhen who was tied up on the ground.

Just as he was about to be taken away, he saw a general pleading: "Commander, General Huizhen is also innocent. No one expected that the Tang army would use such vicious methods."

"No matter who goes today, they won't expect it."

"If you want to blame it, I can only blame Tang Jun for being too cunning. We and others were caught off guard."

"Yes, Commander. If General Huizhen is executed because of such a thing, wouldn't it mean that our army loses a general?"

"General Huizhen has just killed the famous Tang general Qin Qiong. Wouldn't killing General Huizhen now excite the Tang army?"

"Commander, even if General Huizhen has

Wrong, but the crime will not lead to death. Please give me a lighter sentence, Commander-in-Chief. "

If someone begs for mercy, the others will naturally follow suit.

Everyone knows that Yeon Gae So-moon does not want to kill Hye-jin. In the end, Hye-jin is Yeon-gae So-moon's lackey.

How could Yeon Gae So-moon break his arm at this time?

Apart from anything else, if anyone dares to support Yeon Gae So Moon to kill Hye Jin at this time.

The next person to be killed must be the person who supported the export.

"If you don't kill him, what's the use of keeping him!" Yuan Gaisuwen said angrily, looking at Hou Junji.

But he saw Hou Junji sitting and drinking, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yeon Gaesumun was even more annoyed.

He frowned and said, "Mr. Hou, do you think I should kill this good-for-nothing?"

Everyone looked over, and many people's eyes flashed with coldness.

Hou Junji had long seen through Yeon Gaesumun's tricks.

Otherwise, when they were discussing how to deal with Huizhen, they could have used their Goguryeo words.

Why let yourself understand.

Yeon Gaesumun is acting this way because he wants to persuade him to keep Hye Jin!

"Haha, Marshal, although General Huizhen is guilty, he is excusable."

"As I said just now, no matter who is sent to fight today, the result will be the same!"

"General Huizhen is just unlucky to receive this mission!" Hou Junji said with a smile.

It was clearly Huizhen who had taken this task by force before, but now Hou Junji said that he was unlucky.

It was undoubtedly a dig at Huizhen.

However, Huizhen didn't hear it and thought that Hou Junji was speaking for her. At this moment, she looked at Hou Junji with a grateful face.

"Then what do you mean, Mr. Hou?" Yuan Gaisuwen frowned.

"What I mean is that Li Jing has arrived in Cangzhou, and Zhao Chen may still be alive!" Hou Junji looked at Yuan Gaisuwen and said lightly.
