Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Zhou Yi was told this by Chu Xiang. Although he knew that the other party was talking nonsense and looking for excuses to refuse him entry into the city, he could not find a reason to refute.

After all, he had just arrived, and he still had a dark eye on what was going on in Shaanxi Guan.

If things were really like what Chu Xin said, then he would have forced his way into the city and ruined the other party's plan.

If the other party reads one of his books in front of Her Majesty the Empress, then he probably won't be able to keep the hat on his head.

According to Her Majesty's temperament, it is very likely that she will send her family to Siberia to dig potatoes.

But if he was frightened by Chu Xiang's few words and led his brothers to drink the northwest wind outside the city, Zhou Yi felt unwilling to accept it.

"General Chu, my subordinates can understand your concerns."

"But the Tang army has just lost Shaanxi Guanguan. If Li Shimin really has other follow-up forces, why didn't he urgently send reinforcements and let the general capture Shaanxi Guanguan?"

"Also, the Tang Dynasty is now declining. General Lin Wan's battle in Gyeonggi Road has severely damaged the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. He mobilized all the troops around Chang'an and almost annihilated them."

"The other party wants to replenish its troops in a short period of time. Unless they draw from the garrison troops stationed in various places, there will be no new strength in a short period of time that can compete with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone recapture Shaanxi Guoguan."

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, a stern look flashed in Chu Xin's eyes, and then she looked at him with contempt and said:

"General Zhou, what do you mean by this? Do you think that Chu Xiang is deceiving you and does not want friendly troops to enter the city?"

With that said, Chu Xiang became full of energy, stood up from his seat, glared at the other party and said:

"You said it yourself. When you first come to Shaanxi Guoguan, you don't know what's going on inside. Since you don't know, then don't make any comments."

"My general's arrangement was originally kept secret and did not want to be spread out. But now it has caused General Zhang to misunderstand, so I have to reveal it. If it is leaked because of this, General Zhou will be responsible for it."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he thought, damn, what do you mean by that bitch? Could it be that he still wants to take the blame?

Just when he was about to speak, he asked Chu Xiang to shut up. He didn't want to inquire about the other party's secret deployment, lest the matter be exposed later and he would take the blame.

However, before Zhou Yi could speak, Chu Xiang sputtered and spoke directly.

"General Zhang, you may not have heard in Luodu that Datang had already launched a nationwide mobilization three months ago to recruit men over the age of 16 and under 45 to join the army to replenish the supply of troops."

"Although General Lin Wan defeated the Tang army in the Gyeonggi Province battle and caused heavy losses to the Southern Tang Dynasty, due to the vacancy of troops in Gyeonggi Province, Li Shimin had already issued an order to mobilize troops stationed in various places including Lingnan and the coastal area, and rushed to Shaanxi and Guo Watch for support.”

"Now the Southern Tang Dynasty has completely blocked it. Since the news cannot be transmitted, the spies sent by our department have not been able to know the movements of the Tang army so far."

"It was because I didn't know when the Tang army's reinforcements would arrive, so when I heard that General Zhou was coming to support on His Majesty's orders and was about to arrive at Shaanxi Guoguan, I tried my best to catch Li Shimin off guard and capture Shaanxi Guoguan. "

"The reason why I did this was not only to see the right opportunity to capture Shaanxi Guoguan, but more importantly, I wanted to completely establish a foothold in Shaanxi Guoguan before the reinforcements of the Tang Army arrived."

"Only by capturing Shaanxi Guoguan and the gateway to the Southern Tang Dynasty can we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, take the initiative in the war."

"I didn't expect that General Zhou not only failed to understand my good intentions, but also questioned me. This move really chilled me."

Zhou Yi felt faintly blushing when Chu Xiang said this. He was about to say something, but was stopped again by Chu Xiang.

"The situation of the Tang army is unclear now. Reinforcements from the other side will arrive at any time. Whether we can hold Shaanxi Guan or not depends on you and me."

"If General Zhou feels that I have a wrong idea, or that I, Chu Xiang, am not strong enough and do not pay attention to guarding Shaanxi Guan, then fine, I will give up this place and directly hand over Shaanxi Guan to General Zhou to guard. You Can you see it?"

After Chu Xiang finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Yi with determination in his eyes.

Zhou Yi never expected that this dilapidated Shaanxi Temple would be so complicated.

Now that the situation of the Tang army is unclear, if the other party is really ready to counterattack at any time as Chu Xiang said, then if he takes over this hot potato now, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Besides, entering the city is a trivial matter. If it is really due to his own reasons that Shaanxi Guan gained and lost, then this matter will be reported back to Luodu.

I am afraid that my whole family, which is not even qualified to dig potatoes in Siberia, will be cut off from the market by Her Majesty the Empress.

Thinking of this, sweat slowly broke out on Zhou Yi's forehead:

"General Chu misunderstood. The general didn't know the situation before. He just wanted to go to the city to rebuild the city defense for the general and share some labor for the friendly forces. However, he didn't expect that he almost missed the general's important event. The general deserves to die."

"In order to express the general's apology and to protect Shaanxi Guan, what do you think?"

"I will first send the supplies supplied by Her Majesty the Empress to the general."

"If the general has any other requests or instructions, just tell the general, and the general will definitely obey his orders."

After saying that, Zhou Yi bowed deeply to Chu Xiang.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xiang finally let go of his hanging heart.

It seems that Zhou Yi, the person sent by Her Majesty the Empress, is not a powerful person, and he was fooled by him in just a few words.

In fact, what Chu Xiang didn't know was that Chu Xin sent Zhou Yi here not to control her, but to really help her win Shaanxi Guanguan.

That's why Zhou Yi, a useless but cautious idiot, was sent here so that Chu Xiang could manipulate the situation at will and quickly integrate the two armies to capture Shaanxi Guanguan.

However, what Chu Xin never expected was that because of Lin Wan's intervention, Chu Xiang, a general who was fighting abroad, would become alienated from his majesty, the emperor, and thought that Zhou Yi was deliberately sent to take over the military power in Chu Xiang's hands. .

Therefore, after Chu Xiang deceived Zhou Yi away, instead of thinking of being grateful to her as the emperor, the other party felt even more uneasy.

After all, the living dead army under Chu Xiang is undoubtedly a barrel of explosives that can be detonated at any time.

As long as this secret is discovered, she, Chu Xiang, will definitely be despised by the world and will not be tolerated by the world.

For the sake of the tens of thousands of men under her command, and to save her own life, Chu Xiang could not reveal this secret to anyone no matter what.

Not only that, in order to keep this secret, even Chu Xiang has been prepared to use extraordinary measures when necessary.
