The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Early the next morning, Huizhen received news that the Tang army on the opposite side had begun to withdraw.

Huizhen felt a little surprised. They hadn't started attacking Shacheng yet. Why did Zhao Chen withdraw his troops on his own initiative?

Huizhen was a little confused.

Withdrawing troops was a good thing for them, but they thought that their previous plans with Hou Junji might be completely in vain with Zhao Chen's withdrawal. .??.

Huizhen was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart.

"General, since the Tang army has withdrawn, should we send troops to pursue them?" A Goguryeo general asked Huizhen.

The Goguryeo generals thought to themselves that it was just to prevent Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops. Now that Zhao Chen has taken the initiative to withdraw his troops, wouldn't their previous plan to attack the battlefield be ruined?

"Send troops to pursue?" Huizhen hesitated.

Of course he wanted to prevent Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, so that Hou Junji might capture Shacheng.

Once Shacheng falls into his hands, people like Zhao Chen will be the lambs to be slaughtered in his hands.

If he could finally kill Zhao Chen, it would be a great achievement.

When the time comes, even Yeon Gaesumun will have to treat him respectfully.

But Huizhen also thought that if he sent troops to prevent Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, he would definitely be targeted by Zhao Chen.

With the ability of these soldiers under his command, they may not be able to compete with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

If at that time, instead of stopping Zhao Chen, he loses his troops and generals...

Thinking of this, Huizhen felt a little hesitant.

"General, Shacheng is only less than a hundred miles away from us. If Zhao Chen's army evacuates at full speed, they can return to Shacheng tonight." The Goguryeo general said again.

Huizhen was even more embarrassed.

But what the general in front of him said was reasonable. If he didn't act now, there would be no chance when Zhao Chen returned to Shacheng.

Shacheng is only a few miles away from here. If Zhao Chen evacuates the entire army at full speed, he will return to Shacheng tonight.

When the time comes he

How else could Huizhen capture Shacheng?

Once the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived in Shacheng, Huizhen would have no choice but to be beaten to death by Zhao Chen.

Thinking of the grievances she had suffered before and these two times, Huizhen felt a fire rising in her heart.

"Pass this general's order to quickly assemble the troops and prepare to ambush the Tang army where they evacuated." After a long period of silence, Huizhen made up his mind and prepared to send troops to ambush Zhao Chen and others.

"In addition, quickly send a message to Hou Junji and ask him to launch an attack on Shacheng immediately. We will block Zhao Chen's reinforcements on the way." Huizhen said to the general next to him.

"It's the general." The Goguryeo general took the order and left.

Huizhen turned around with a fierce look on her face.

He absolutely cannot let Zhao Chen return to Shacheng. At least until Hou Junji captures Shacheng, he will trap Zhao Chen on the road.

He had lost face in front of Zhao Chen before, and this time he wanted to get it all back.

…

Hou Junji was preparing to break camp and set off to attack Shacheng.

However, he suddenly received an order from Huizhen, saying that Zhao Chen had led the troops to withdraw, and asked him to launch an attack on Shacheng immediately.

Hou Junji felt a little strange.

Based on my understanding of Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen is a person who never looks back until he hits the wall.

Unless Shacheng is really at a critical moment of survival, Zhao Chen will never withdraw his troops and return reinforcements?

But now Huizhen sent him news that Zhao Chen had withdrawn his troops.

This made Hou Junji somewhat unexpected.

Could it be that something happened in Shacheng?

Or is it just that Zhao Chen felt that Shacheng was in danger, so he had to immediately withdraw his troops and return reinforcements.

But obviously he hasn't taken action yet, so where did Zhao Chen get the news?

"General Hou, the general asked you to send troops to attack Shacheng immediately. The general will send people to block Zhao Chen's reinforcements from outside." His general said to Hou Junji again.

Hou Junji could only nod.

Now in this situation, he could only obey Yu Huizhen's orders.

Otherwise, these soldiers under his command would not listen to him.

"Since the general has an order, then he will act according to the order." Hou Junji nodded.

Since Zhao Chen was trying to stop Zhao Chen from withdrawing his troops, what else did Hou Junji have to worry about.

Anyway, I originally planned to attack Shacheng today.

What we are doing now is just following the previous plan.

"Immediately lead five thousand soldiers and quickly attack Shacheng. First, massacre all the nearby villages around Shacheng." Hou Junji said to the Goguryeo general in front of him expressionlessly.

The Goguryeo generals were a little confused.

He didn't quite understand why Hou Junji wanted to attack the people near Shacheng.

Obviously he only needs to attack Shacheng.

Those people, what's the point of killing them.

"Those people have been subdued by Zhao Chen. If they go to help the Tang Dynasty defenders when we attack Shacheng, then our siege rhythm will be extended."

"We will even be threatened by them. As for when Shacheng will be captured, I don't know when it will be."

"Eradicating them is about avoiding these small impacts."

"Why are you still thinking that they were Goguryeo people before?" Hou Junji explained to the Goguryeo general and asked him again with a smile.

The Goguryeo general heard the teasing in Hou Junji's words.

In order to frame the Tang army, they had killed many people in the villages around Shacheng.

At that time, no one cared that they were Goguryeo people.

Now at this time, I have these worries, so I said

No one would believe it.

"What the general said is that if your subordinates know about it, they will do it immediately." The Goguryeo general responded.

Looking at the figure of the Goguryeo general going away, Hou Junji showed a smile on his face.

He did not expect that Zhao Chen would take the initiative to withdraw his troops.

In this way, if Huizhen wants to continue to support the plan, he must send troops to prevent Zhao Chen from withdrawing.

In this way, Hou Junji can implement his plan more perfectly.

Hou Junji led the 20,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters and headed towards Shacheng.

The Goguryeo generals under his command were divided into five thousand soldiers, and they madly slaughtered the people in the villages around Shacheng.

For a time, people from the villages around Shacheng rushed towards Shacheng.

Xue Rengui got the news and immediately sealed the gate of Shacheng.

He had no way of confirming whether among the Goguryeo people who escaped were soldiers made up of soldiers under Hou Junji's command.

Once he lets these people in, if Hou Junji's men sneak in, then this fragile sand city may be easily broken.

Therefore, for the safety of Shacheng, Xue Rengui had to be ruthless.

Near noon, Hou Junji's army was approaching the gates of Shacheng. Thousands of Goguryeo people were besieged between Shacheng and Hou Junji's army formation.

"Xue Rengui, since Zhao Chen has asked you to take charge of Shacheng, you must have some skills. Why don't you send troops to fight with a certain person." Hou Junji stood up with his sword drawn and shouted towards the tower of Shacheng.

Xue Rengui ignored Hou Junji's shouting and focused his gaze on the thousands of Goguryeo people below the tower of Shacheng.

Xue Rengui is in a dilemma now.

He also knew that the phenomenon before him was caused by Hou Junji deliberately forcing him to do this.

If he doesn't take in these Goguryeo people, what will the people in Shacheng think?

But if we take them in...
