Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"That's natural. Otherwise, do you think there is a more suitable candidate than you in this camp?"

Chu Mo looked at Li Changlin as if it were a matter of course.

"But sir, our army is now in chaos. Except for the 5000 people under the general's command, the rest are all you pieced together from various places."

"The general is worried that if I leave, those miscellaneous soldiers will disobey discipline, and then our rear will be in chaos, which will not be conducive to our army's operations."

Li Changlin had a sad face and looked worried.

Chu Mo secretly gave the other party a middle finger. If you are greedy for life and fear death, just say so. Why do you have to find such a lame excuse?

"General Li, I am in charge of matters in the camp. I believe that those soldiers will give me some face, so as not to mutiny on the spot."

"The reason why I sent you to fight is because there is nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, General Li thinks, is there anyone in this camp who is more suitable to lead the army than you?"

"But sir, if the general leaves, other generals will not dare to say anything. But my 5000 soldiers and my brother are all disobedient people. I am worried that they will have other ideas."

Realizing Chu Mo's determination, Li Changlin had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out his trump card.

Hearing Li Changlin's words, Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, then smiled slightly and said:

"General Li, what's so difficult about this? Aren't we going to send 5000 troops this time to block Li Shimin's advance?"

"It just so happens that you have 5000 people under your command. Why don't you just take the soldiers you are familiar with to stop Li Shimin."

"This way you don't have to worry about chaos at the rear, and I will be less stressed."

"Don't worry, with me in charge, I am absolutely sure that the remaining soldiers will not affect your battle."

After saying that, Chu Mo looked at Li Changlin with a smile.

After Li Changlin heard Chu Mo's words, his face turned livid.

Originally, he wanted to use the 5000 soldiers to restrain Chu Mo, but he did not expect that the other party would be so cruel and wanted to send him and the 5000 soldiers to the battlefield.

Immediately, he didn't care about anything else, slapped the table, glared at Chu Mo and shouted:

"Chu Mo, don't bully others too much. Although I, Li Changlin, have taken refuge with you, I am not your eagle dog, and I don't want to be your cannon fodder."

"You are so heartless that you want me and my brothers to die in vain. Aren't you afraid that I will just tie you up and send you to Li Shimin?"

"Haha, why should General Li be angry? I didn't decide this matter. You should know the plan we made before Lin Wan came back."

"But Lin Wan agreed to Cui Yingying, which changed our plan. There is nothing I can do about it."

"How about you discuss it with General Lin Wan. If you can get her consent and not allow you to send troops, then I have absolutely no objection at all."

Li Changlin hesitated when he heard Chu Mo move Lin Wan out directly.

He also knew that Lin Wan agreed to Cui Yingying's request for this matter, and these 5000 soldiers were a letter of surrender from his side to Cui Yingying.

If it is not carried out, Cui Yingying will bring her 3000 cavalry and flatten this place without waiting for Li Shimin to attack.

But the key point is that he doesn't want to be cannon fodder between the two armies.

Using 5000 people to resist Li Shimin's 20000 troops and 3000 cavalry was a task that even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to complete this task.

Seeing Li Changlin's silence, Chu Mo's eyes flashed with amusement, and then he pretended to be helpless and sad and sighed:

"General Li, this fact is not what I wanted. General, don't forget that we also have a mission."

"You take 5000 men to stop Li Shimin, and are supported by Cui Yingying's 3000 cavalry and Zhang Taixin's troops, but I have to take the remaining troops to stop Changsun Shunde's left-wing army."

"Although your strength is not as good as Li Shimin's army, it is not much different."

"But I'm different. No one knows better than General Li what kind of virtue you have if you keep my soldiers."

"I don't need to explain how difficult it is to use thousands of miscellaneous soldiers to deal with tens of thousands of other people's elite troops, right?"

Speaking of this, Chu Mo paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Changlin with a smile and said:

"How about General Li, let's change positions. You take the 5000 soldiers under your command to stop Changsun Shunde, and I take the miscellaneous soldiers to stop Li Shimin's army. What do you think?"

Listening to what Chu Mo said, look at the malicious look on his face.

Li Changlin's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone knows that Chu Mo has a dark heart, and no one who follows him will end up well. They have either been plotted by him, or are being plotted by him.

Now that this bitch is looking at me like this, he must be harboring evil intentions.

No, I can't be reckless, and I mustn't be fooled by him.

Thinking of this, Li Changlin's expression changed again and again, and he quickly analyzed the situation on both sides.

However, Chu Mo would not let him be so leisurely.

Seeing Li Changlin lowering his head and saying nothing, he immediately stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulders and said:

"Oh, General Li, what do you mean now? Give me a happy word."

"Whether you choose Li Shimin or Changsun Shunde, you have to make your decision quickly. You know, time waits for no one."

At this moment, a soldier's report suddenly came from outside the door:

"My lords, the army has been assembled. The imperial army is less than 5 miles away. Please make a decision quickly."

When he heard that the army was gathering, he looked at Chu Mo looking at him with a smile on his face.

Li Changlin knew that he could not delay it any longer.

Taking a deep breath, he stared into Chu Mo's eyes and asked:

"Then according to Mr. Chu's wishes, where are you going to choose?"

Facing Li Changlin's probing eyes, Chu Mo blinked his eyes, glanced forward without realizing it, and then coughed lightly and said:

"Of course we are going to stop Li Shimin's army. General Li, don't think that stopping Li Shimin is like a narrow escape. But don't forget that there are Cui Yingying and Zhang Taixin on both sides to support them. They can distract the enemy." If we are the main force of the army, then the pressure on us will definitely not be too great."

"I believe that as long as we block the enemy's first wave of impact, we can stabilize the front and defeat them."

"You know, behind us, there is an army of five surnames and seven Wangs. This time Cui Yingying only brought 3000 cavalry. The remaining army has not even used a single soldier."
