Chapter 228 The time is not yet ripe

"Father, why did you withdraw your troops so well? This time Ji Nu came here to help his father destroy Goguryeo and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."

Xiao Zhengta could feel Li Er's unwillingness. In his eyes, the other party just occupied a favorable position, and their combat power was simply vulnerable.

"Speak!"

Li Er, who was originally lonely, became interested when he heard this. He knew that Xiao Zhengta had many ideas and might even be able to come up with a solution to the problem.

"Father, don't worry, the time has not come. When the time comes, someone will naturally come to help us break the city."

Looking through the gap at the fortress-like city wall not far away, Xiao Zhengta's face kept twitching, and the structure of Gaimu City was so fucking.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, and the overall wall is completely made of huge rocks. Even if it is to be blown up, it may take dozens of ground buds to break it.

If the human sea tactic is used, the losses of the Tang soldiers will probably be unpredictable. Even if they break through Gaimu City, they may not be able to continue to go deeper.

Especially the current climate problem has seriously affected the survival of the soldiers. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Under such unfavorable conditions, delaying one day is a considerable expense for the Tang Dynasty, and it is no wonder that Li Er had such a plan.

"Damn it, this ghost weather, how did these gangs survive here."

Cheng Chumo kept tightening his collar, and cursing Goguryeo's grandchildren.

"Who asked you to come here? I have told you a long time ago that the environment here is not what you can imagine. I regret it now? It's too late."

Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes wide, then raised his legs and walked towards the military camp. In such weather, he didn't want any problems with the soldiers' bodies.

"Look at what you said, isn't your highness so idle? I've said that I'm going to kill the enemy, but now I'm really boring to stay here every day."

Cheng Chumo kept shaking his head. He was idle, so he ran over to complain for a while.

"Go to find Doctor Sun, ask him to prescribe a prescription, let the people below cook it, and warm everyone up, go quickly."

These thoughts made Xiao Zhengta very upset, so he simply arranged some work for him.

"It's so sir! I'll go now."

Hearing that there was a task, Cheng Chumo's eyes immediately lit up, and he ran away from him.

With Xiao Zhengtai's medicine, Li Er finally slept comfortably. It was not until noon that Li Er was awakened by a smell of meat.

"Zhinu, what are you doing? Why are you so fragrant?"

Li Er kept twitching his nose and his eyes kept glancing into the big bowl not far away.

"The weather is too cold, so I asked Doctor Sun to prescribe a prescription and then stew a pot of broth to replenish everyone's body."

After saying that, Xiao Zhengtai signaled Cheng Chumo to the side of her bowl of broth, and then he looked at the few people who were constantly swallowing their saliva with a smile.

"So that's it. Not to mention smelling this, my father is really hungry. Come bring it quickly."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Li Er's heart was very warm and showed a big smile. Since Xiao Zhengtai came, he really didn't have to do anything.

"How is Father, is it still satisfying?"

Seeing Li Er drinking the broth voraciously, Xiao Zhengtai asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I've almost forgotten what the taste of imperial meal is like for so long."

Li Er said vaguely, and after quickly killing a bowl of broth, he rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.

"Uncle Cheng, don't be standing there either. There is a lot of broth. This is not a palace. Let's try it together!"

Seeing the people who were looking at Li Er drinking soup on the side, and were still swallowing saliva from time to time, Xiao Zhengtai signaled to the people.

"Dad, look, I just said that Your Highness would never be so stingy. You also said that this was prepared by Your Highness for Your Highness."

As soon as Xiao Zhengtai finished speaking, Cheng Chumo started yelling at the top of his voice.

"Little bastard, believe it or not, I'll slap you."

What the son said is called a bastard? How can the words they said to His Majesty? Isn’t this a provocation?

"Haha, Mr. Cheng said it well. Chi Nu will not treat anyone badly, let alone this is not a palace. Don't be too reserved. Come and enjoy it together."

Seeing the humorous father and son, Li Er laughed and hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"The old minister will be disrespectful."

Cheng Yaojin had been itchy with this fragrance. After hearing His Majesty's words, he took the big bowl next to him and drank three bowls in one breath. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that I was so happy, Cheng Chumo did not dare to neglect it, and he put aside his back teeth and began to struggle.

But after just killing two bowls, my own brother Cheng Yaojin glared fiercely, and then he could only watch the soup pot being taken away by me.

Xiao Zhengta was quite speechless about this. There were many big pots outside, so would she grab them here?

For several consecutive days, the Tang army still did not move at all. The only thing they had to do was to keep themselves warm.

Everything was the same as what Xiao Zhengtai said. In the next few days, the weather here became colder and colder, and the originally flowing river water gradually emerged with sparse ice.

Even the soldiers had problems drinking water. The water in the river could not be consumed directly without passing through the stove.

I'm afraid that in a few days, the entire river will be frozen, and then I'll have to eat ice cubes if I drink water.

Fortunately, when Xiao Zhengtai came this time, he had already anticipated this problem, so the supplies he brought were enough for the soldiers to keep the cold.

The Goguryeo soldiers in Gaimu City would clamor in the city every day, but they wouldn't come out to fight. Obviously, they were ready to fight a protracted battle with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and it depends on who can hold on until the end.

Faced with such a situation, many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to panic and had already retreated in the dark.

Even Li Er became more and more worried during this period. Although he did not express his dissatisfaction with Xiao Zhengtai, his attitude could be felt by everyone.

A few days later, looking at the thick layer of ice on the river, Li Er could no longer bear it, and he turned everything to Xiao Zhengtai.

"Zhinu, the river has been frozen now. What about the reinforcements you mentioned? Who will help us break the city? Do you have any ideas to tell your father?"

Li Eryi looked anxious. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty gathered here and there would be a considerable expense every day, which made his heart bleeding.

If they could not think of a way to break the city, they had no choice but to retreat. Although the Tang Dynasty was rich, it could not withstand such consumption.

Li Er never doubted Xiao Zhengtai's words, but after so many days, Xiao Zhengtai still did not move, which made Li Er very worried.

"Father, don't be impatient, the time is not yet ripe. When my son came to Chang'an this time, he not only brought cold-proof supplies, but also a lot of wonderful things."

Seeing his father's face, Xiao Zhengtai knew that he could not hide anymore. If he didn't reveal any rumors to his father, he might be really crazy.
