Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Such a huge gap in battle damage allowed Li Shimin to put aside the recent gloom and praise Li Ji.

Then he asked the other party to keep up their efforts, and no matter what, they must keep all the enemies of Da Zhou this time.

Naturally, Li Ji couldn't say much about Li Shimin's ambitions.

Judging from last night's battle report, he understood that there must be some problem on Da Zhou's side, which made his side win the first battle.

Originally, according to his expectations, this first battle should be extremely difficult.

In his plan, the defenders at Shaanxi Guanguan could only repulse the opponent's attack, allowing the opponent to feel that there was an opportunity to continue to add fuel to the fire and continue to attack Shaanxi Guanguan.

But in the battle last night, Da Zhou must have made some wrong decisions, which caused the vanguard army to suffer heavy losses.

At this time, he was no longer sure whether that girl Chu Xiang still had the courage to continue fighting after seeing the battle report.

It is even less certain whether the Zhou Dynasty will directly withdraw to Shaanzhou to rest and recuperate and end this war.

In fact, what Li Ji didn't know was that Chu Xiang was already riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off.

She mobilized most of Shaanzhou's troops to gather here in order to directly capture Shaanxi Guoguan.

If we say that before, she just wanted to clear Her Majesty's name, turn the tide, win a great victory, and boost the morale of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now, after two consecutive battles, 8000 cavalry were lost, and last night's battle almost destroyed the entire vanguard army. This battle was no longer something she could stop if she wanted to.

At this time, if she just gave up and returned to Dazhou, the only way waiting for her would be to confiscate her family and exterminate her clan.

Now, unless she takes down Shaanxi Guan, there is no other way for her to go.

Come on, there is still a glimmer of hope.

If you retreat, you can only go back and wait to die.

Chu Xiang naturally knows better than anyone else how to choose.

Therefore, Li Ji's worries were not considered at all.

However, Li Ji didn't understand Chu Xiang's current situation. After receiving Li Shimin's instructions, he began to worry that Chu Xiang would be devastated by these two defeats and withdraw his troops directly.

In order to prevent the opponent from suddenly withdrawing his troops, after Li Ji said goodbye to Li Shimin, he directly called his messenger soldiers and wrote a letter to them to take back to Shaanxi Guoguan.

At the same time, Chu Mo, who was huddled in the mountains and forests, waiting for Li Shimin's reply, also learned the battle report of Shaanxi Guoguan from the secret guard.

When he heard that the vanguard army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost destroyed, but did not even climb the city wall of Shaanxi Guoguan, he almost stared out of his eyes in fear.

Originally, he had thought that he would take the opportunity to sneak away when Shaanxi and Guozhou came together to watch the war and the two armies were defeated.

But now the completely one-sided situation here was far beyond his expectation.

Do you need to change your previous plan?

Before, he deliberately made Lin Wan angry away. In addition to suspecting that the other party's motives were impure, he was worried that his whereabouts would be leaked, and then he would be jointly pursued by Da Zhou and Da Tang at the same time.

The most important thing is that Lin Wan is a minister of Zhou Dynasty. Her status is too special, and she is always a hidden danger if she stays in her own team.

That's why he deliberately made her angry.

But now, the situation is completely different from before. If Shaanxiguan can easily resist Zhou's invasion, and that old boy Li Shimin doesn't have to take action at all, then he will have no way out.

We can only follow Lin Wan's plan, cross the mountains and ridges, and take a detour to Dazhou.

Thinking of having to risk all the way to Da Zhou, Chu Mo felt a wave of resistance in his heart.

But now, the arrow has to be fired.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo sighed and directly ordered to light a fire at the third watch and make rice at the fifth watch. At dawn, he would set off directly, bypassing the mountains and heading for Dazhou.

After hearing Chu Mo's order, although his soldiers complained a lot, they all understood that the situation at this time did not have much impact.

At the same time, Lin Wan, who had left Chu Mo, took more than a hundred guards under his command, detoured through the path, secretly passed through Shaanxi Guan, and found Chu Xiang who was frowning.

Chu Xiang was extremely surprised when he saw Lin Wan arriving.

You must know that he was the chief steward of the Chu family before. After Chu Xin ascended the throne and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, although he won the title of No. [-] Scholar, he became the guardian envoy of one party.

But in the eyes of others, I have always been just a domestic slave of Her Majesty the Empress, a figure who cannot be put on the stage.

But the person in front of me was different.

The other party was someone who had already cooperated with Her Majesty the Empress before the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

And after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the other party relied on her military exploits to become the number one female general in the court.

If the other party didn't have much pursuit of power, he might have already gained power by now.

But even so, besides a little admiration for Lin Wan, Chu Xiang was more envious and jealous.

Now that the other party came to the door on his own initiative, and at such a sensitive period, Chu Xiang immediately became a little wary.

"I wonder what brings General Lin here?"

Regarding Lin Wan's sudden visit, Chu Xiang asked directly, his tone full of dislike.

Hearing Chu Xiang's impolite inquiry, Lin Wan snorted coldly, then looked at him contemptuously and said:

"General Chu, you sent troops without authorization and fell into the enemy's trick, and fell into the enemy's trap twice. As a result, I lost my army and generals during the Great Zhou Dynasty. I just came to see how you plan to explain to the court and Her Majesty the Empress."

Hearing that the other party was here to question the enemy, Chu Xiang's eyes flashed with worry, but he didn't mean to give in at all:

"General Lin, it seems it's not your turn to dictate my affairs, right?"

"My mistake, Her Majesty the Empress will naturally make a decision."

"Besides, although we lost a few troops this time, the results we achieved were pretty good."

"You have to know that it was because of my strategy that I killed Li Ji. As a result, Shaanxi Guanguan is now leaderless and a mess."

"Hahahaha~~~~"

Hearing Chu Xiang's words, Lin Wan couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing!"

Chu Xiang asked sternly as he felt inexplicably flustered by Lin Wan's laughter.

"Why am I laughing? I'm laughing at your ignorance and naivety."

"Who is Li Ji? If he was not completely sure, how could he take risks himself?"

"As the top general on the front line of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, if he didn't have some skills, do you think he would persist for such a long time again?"

"Do you think that since he has mastered your plan, how can he fall into your trap so easily?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiang's expression changed immediately.

But she still couldn't believe what Lin Wan said.
