Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

Thirty thousand cavalrymen rested for a night under the city of Yingzhou. Although it was short, it was quite rare!

Ye Haoran returned to the tent, lay down and fell into a deep sleep!

There was a twitching in the sleeve, and a small black snake came out. It sniffed his palm with its tongue, and its round little eyes were full of excitement!

Her fangs gently pierced his middle finger, and she opened her big mouth and started sucking it!

Maybe he was too tired, Ye Haoran didn’t notice anything at all!

After a stick of incense, the little black snake reluctantly opened its mouth and returned to his sleeve!

In the early morning, when Ye Haoran opened his eyes and sat up, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, his spiritual energy and spiritual power resumed, and the restrictions on his Shenting and Dantian disappeared! Could it be that Yelu Liangcai's medicine had lost its effect?

In short, it is good news for him who is about to fight!

After bypassing Yingzhou City and continuing forward, they arrived at the border between the two countries in half a day. There were traces of war everywhere. War was painful and a disaster for ordinary people! However, some wars had to be fought and won!

Thirty thousand cavalry entered Goguryeo and headed straight for Anshi City!

The coalition forces of the three kingdoms relied on Liaodong City in the north, and small groups of cavalry continued to harass the supply lines behind the Tang Dynasty! The Tang army under Anshi City was already in a difficult situation!

Inside the central military tent, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat high in the center hall, his hair was graying, his majesty revealed a hint of haggardness, and he was wearing a thick silver-white cloak!

Civil officials and military generals are on both sides!

Ahem! Li Shimin coughed twice:

"My dear ministers, I believe everyone is clear about the current situation. We only have two options. One is to quickly attack Anshi City. Only by occupying Anshi City can we fight against the coalition forces of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe!"

"The second way is to retreat!" Li Shimin sighed. Everyone could see that this wise and capable old emperor was extremely unwilling to give up!

The first Prime Minister on the left, Zhang Sun Wuji, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Anshi City will be difficult to capture in a short period of time. General Li Ji's earthen city plan failed at the last minute. This may be God's will! In my opinion, the best strategy is to withdraw the troops as soon as possible!"

Li Ji, the Minister of War, who was the second on the right, immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the earthen city collapsed because I was too eager for quick success. If you give me another month to stabilize the earthen city, I will definitely capture Anshi City!"

Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Personnel on the left, sighed and said, "Duke Ying's earthen city method is indeed brilliant. I believe that given time, we will be able to capture Anshi City!

But now the food and grass are in urgent need, and the food and grass escorted by the Duke of Weiguo can barely last for ten days!

What should we do if we fail to capture Anshi City within ten days, or if the Goguryeo coalition forces attack our army during the siege? "

"This..." Li Ji was full of reluctance, but he could do nothing about it!

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others also remained silent!

"Okay! I'm tired, my dear ministers, please leave!" Li Shimin said, rubbing his forehead!

Everyone left in response!

"Duke Weiguo, please stay!" Li Shimin spoke to keep Li Jing!

"What does your majesty want?" Li Jing stopped, turned around and asked with a fist clasped!

"Why didn't Duke Wei say a word just now? Isn't he willing to share my worries?" Li Shimin was a little angry!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, Your Majesty has been through hundreds of battles and has made up his mind whether to attack or retreat. The reason you haven't issued the order yet is that you are unwilling to give up! I am just thinking of a win-win solution!" Li Jing was still calm!

"Have you thought about it, my dear?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly!

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has assembled a large army in Liaodong City, and the country is short of manpower. Your Majesty can send a group of elite troops to launch a surprise attack on their capital, Pyongyang. You will definitely gain something! Then, Your Majesty can order the Qingzhou Navy to cross the sea to escort this surprise force back to the Central Plains safely!"

After listening to this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment. This was a good idea. If they could capture Pyongyang, even if they had to retreat, it would be a great victory!

"My dear, this is a good plan, but who will be the commander of this surprise attack? Going deep into the enemy's country and attacking the capital is probably beyond the capability of an ordinary person! Are you going to go there in person?"

Li Jing shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am old and I am afraid I can't take on this important task! But I have someone to recommend. He is a disciple of Master Guigu, and he is both civil and military, and he is thoughtful and can take on this task!"

"Oh? Is this person in the army now?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up!

"Not here! But he should be here soon!" Li Jing said with a smile!
