Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Sir, we found Zhang Taixin's troops approaching twenty miles behind our army. According to their marching speed, it is estimated that they will find us in another hour and a half."

A secret guard quickly rushed to Chu Mo and threw a bombshell at him.

After hearing the secret guard's report, Chu Mo suddenly felt like he was a different person.

The five surnames and Qi Wang in front have not been solved yet, and now there is Zhang Taixin in the back. It is obvious that he is about to be made a dumpling.

Hurriedly asking someone to get the map, Chu Mo called over Chu Ruowan and Lin Wan and started discussing.

"Now, if we want to retreat south, we must bypass the pass in front of us, but it is absolutely impossible for the people of the Five Surnames and Qiwang to just watch us pass through."

“If you want to get through, you have to either force your way in, or you can only wait.”

"But if we break through directly, the opponent cannot sit still and wait for death. Moreover, their strength is much stronger than ours, and there is Zhang Taixin coming from behind. If we cannot resolve the battle within an hour, then we will basically have no chance to retreat. All gone."

Chu Mo directly informed the two of them of the current predicament, hoping that they could make suggestions.

Chu Ruowan and Lin Wan had already understood the current predicament, and both felt that it was obviously not advisable to forcefully break through.

"Chu Mo, let's not say whether we can get through the obstruction of the five surnames and Qi Wang. Even if we get through, how many of us can survive?"

"What's more, even if we break through this pass, there will probably be defenses from the imperial army ahead. Once our whereabouts are revealed, we will not be able to escape without horses."

Lin Wan frowned and looked at Chu Mo.

"Yes, Lin Wan is right. A strong attack will definitely not work. This will only make us die faster."

Chu Ruowan also helped.

"We can't attack by force, and there is no way to retreat. So now we can only choose to take a detour."

Chu Mo pointed to two places on the map and said:

"Now we can either take a detour to Jinzhou and then go to Lingnan from Shannan Road, or we can only leave from Shangzhou and then look for an opportunity to go south."

"No, there are many high mountains and ridges on the Shannan Road, and the journey is extremely difficult and dangerous. According to our current supply situation, let alone reaching Lingnan smoothly, even whether we can cross the Yangtze River is a problem."

"What's more, there will definitely be obstacles from the Tang Army on the way, and we have no chance at all."

Chu Ruowan directly rejected Chu Mo's suggestion to evacuate from Shannan Road.

"Then we can only take a detour and leave Shangzhou."

"But after passing Shangzhou, most of the road ahead is flat. Are you sure we can avoid the pursuit of the imperial army?"

Chu Mo asked again.

"Why do you have to go to Lingnan and Nanxia? Can't you enter Dazhou first and then find a way to escape?"

Lin Wan, who was on the side, saw the two people arguing and immediately reminded them.

"no!"

"no!"

The two people who were arguing heard Lin Wan's suggestion and rejected it in unison.

"Why? I feel that evacuating Shangzhou and heading all the way to Luoyang is the safest and safest route."

Lin Wan asked pretending to be confused.

Chu Mo and Chu Ruowan looked at each other. Chu Ruowan looked at Lin Wan with a mocking look. He was about to say something, but his hand was suddenly held by Chu Mo.

Just kidding, someone is about to make dumplings. How can I have the time and energy to engage in internal strife now?

After thinking about it, Chu Mo said tactfully:

"It's not like you don't know about my relationship with Chu Xin. I'm worried that once I step into the land of Dazhou, I will be hunted endlessly."

The meaning of this statement is that he clearly said that he could not trust the other party.

But Lin Wan seemed not to understand, looked at Chu Mo, smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, after arriving in Dazhou, with my protection, your whereabouts will never be revealed."

"What's more, I also want to show you our development over the years. It will definitely surprise you."

"Didn't you always want to kill Chu Xin? It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. If you don't understand your opponent, how can you talk about destroying it?"

Seeing Lin Wan pretending to be confused, Chu Mo suddenly frowned.

Logically speaking, the previous discord between the other party and Li Changlin had been exposed by himself, although later due to external pressure, the two had to continue to cooperate.

But the other party still seemed to be okay now, which really surprised Chu Mo.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lin Wan and then at the map in his hand.

Indeed, it would indeed be a good idea to follow the other party's suggestion and take a direct detour to Luodu.

But the key point is that I can't trust the other person.

Besides, Chu Mo always felt that the other party obviously had other motives for doing this.

And along the way, he would definitely be chased by Li Shimin.

Even at the border between the two countries, how to cross the border is still a problem.

He expressed his doubts directly.

When Lin Wan heard this, she immediately smiled, and then said confidently:

"As long as we escape Li Shimin's pursuit. As long as we can get close to the border, the rest will be all on me."

"Is this true?"

Chu Mo looked at the other party suspiciously.

"Others don't understand what I, Lin Wan, say and do. Don't you, Chu Mo, understand?"

"Besides, do you think there is any other way besides going north now?"

Chu Ruowan on the side curled her lips and was about to taunt the other party, but her hand was held by Chu Mo again.

"Okay, then I will believe you again, but let's talk about it. If I feel anything unusual on the way, or if you dare to betray us, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing Chu Mo's unfounded threat, even though she was very disdainful, Lin Wan still pretended to be solemn and said:

"Don't worry, I only have a few guards around me now. Life and death all depend on your thoughts. How dare I betray you."

After saying that, he unconsciously covered his mouth and started to chuckle.

Chu Ruowan on the side rolled her eyes at this moment.

She simply sneered at Lin Wan's shameless words.

If it weren't for the other party's high martial arts skills, and the relationship between the two parties now being mutual use and dependence, she believed that the other party would definitely leave here as soon as possible.

However, after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what Lin Wan was doing.

The other party can obviously rely on his super strength to fly far and wide alone, coming and going as he pleases.

But why do you have to follow them?Looking at her current appearance, it is obvious that she is playing tricks on Chu Mo.

She didn't believe that Chu Mo couldn't see the other party's purpose, but he still tolerated him. Could it be that Chu Mo, the bad guy, was also planning something?
