Chapter 1209 If the Marshal is willing to give it a try

"Use fire to burn it?" Yuan Gai Suwen looked at Hou Junji, with a look of confusion on his face.

In a barbarian land, many things are not clear about Gassu.

In the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, civilization was much more advanced than that of them Goguryeo.

This is also why Yuan Gaisuwen has always dreamed of occupying the Central Plains.

As for what Hou Junji said to use fire to burn the city walls, Yuan Gaisuwen felt that it was a bit unreliable.

He has read about war cases in the Central Plains.

I also know that there were precedents of burning the city walls with huge fires.

But that is an ordinary city wall, which is completely different from Cangzhou City.

"Mr. Hou is joking?"

"We have attacked Cangzhou City Gate countless times these days, and have been ridiculed countless times."

"Now you actually say that using a fire to burn the city walls is the way to do it."

"Did Mr. Hou think we Goguryeo people are easy to cheat?"

Hou Junji had not answered Yuan Gai Suwen's question, but Huizhen jumped out to oppose him as soon as possible.

Although Huizhen was the only one who spoke, the Goguryeo generals in the tent looked at Hou Junji suspiciously.

Obviously, they don’t believe in Hou Junji’s method.

Some people even guessed in their hearts that Hou Junji was deliberately making things difficult for them to achieve the goal of provoking their morale.

Yuan Gai Suwen also looked at Hou Junji, waiting for his explanation.

"Master, I am just expressing my own suggestions. As for whether it can be done and whether the city wall can be burned, it is unpredictable."

"If the general or the generals have other good solutions, you can use your own methods..."

"Hou Junji, what do you mean!" Huizhen was angry at that time.

How could he not hear it? Hou Junji was mocking them for not thinking of a solution?

With such a blatant ridicule, where can Huizhen still sit?

At that time, he rushed to Hou Junji and glared.

"What do you mean by me? General Huizhen can't hear it?"

"If you have the ability, just break the walls of Cangzhou by yourself. What do you do?" Hou Junji did not give in at all.

This is the first time he came to Gassuwen to have a conflict with his generals.

"You're looking for death!" Huizhen was furious.

This was in their Goguryeo army, and he was treated like this by Hou Junji.

He was about to hit Hou Junji in the face, but Yuan Gaisuwen grabbed it with one hand.

"Master, this old bastard..."

"Enough, Mr. Hou is our own person. If he is rude to him, he will be rude to me." Yuan Gaisuwen interrupted Huizhen and said in a deep voice.

He understood why Hou Junji suddenly became so irritable.

Li Tai was taken down by Zhao Chen, and the matter in Chang'an could not be delayed for Zhao Chen for long.

Cangzhou City here has been unable to capture for a long time.

Zhao Chen may not be sure when he will come, and they don’t know what to do then?

Especially Hou Junji, a traitor from the Tang Dynasty, was even more worried and impatient at this moment.

But, they always had only one enemy.

"Mr. Hou, I apologize to Mr. Hou for Huizhen. The long-term battle is not favorable. Everyone is inevitably anxious. Don't take Mr. Hou's words to heart." Yuan Gai Suwen took the initiative to hand over to Hou Junji.

It can be considered as giving Hou Junji enough face.

Hou Junji is not a fool either. Now he can't go back to the Tang Dynasty.

If he can take over Cangzhou City, Yuan Gaisuwen can still follow him.

"The general said this seriously. I didn't control my temper for a while. I don't blame General Huizhen."

"You can actually try it by burning the city walls with a big fire."

"Even iron will turn into a pool of iron under the burning of the fire, not to mention that those are just stones." Hou Junji waved his hand and continued to talk to Yuan Gai Suwen about the previous method.

"The iron requires a lot of firewood to be burned, so we can't pile up firewood under the city wall." Yuan Gai Suwen frowned and reminded Hou Junji.

Huizhen didn't say anything. Seeing that her commander spoke so kindly with Hou Junji, she even took the initiative to apologize to Hou Junji.

The anger in my heart couldn't help but rise.

"Last time in the Battle of Cangzhou, the cloth was dyed with tincture, so it could burn for so long, causing such great casualties to our army."

"I have also found a lot of turmeric oil outside Cangzhou City recently."

"It can be used to burn down the city walls of Cangzhou."

"If the general is willing to try my way, he can send someone to get tinea oil now." Hou Junji said.

He hasn't been idle these days.

I have been trying to find a way to break through Cangzhou City.

Hou Junji, who can never go back now, has the biggest dream of killing the emperor and killing Zhao Chen.

As for the others, it doesn't matter anymore.

"The turmeric oil that Mr. Hou mentioned is outside Cangzhou City?" Yuan Gaisuwen was a little surprised.

The fire outside Cangzhou City almost killed Huizhen.

Thinking of the fire, Yuan Gassuwen hated him extremely.

"Yes." Hou Jun gathered a word, but it calmed down Yuan Gaisuwen.

If these things cannot be burned down the Cangzhou city walls, they can be used in other places in the future.

"Okay, just follow the method Mr. Hou said."

"Huizhen, go and help Mr. Hou. Whatever Mr. Hou says is what he says. If he violates the military law, he will be engaged in military law." Yuan Gaisuwen was overjoyed.

In order to show his importance to Hou Junji, Huizhen was sent to be Hou Junji's assistant.

Although Huizhen was reluctant, she did not dare to object to Yeon Gassuwen's order.

...

In Cangzhou City.

Old Li sat in the hall of the government office.

In front of him were Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others.

The successful blocking of Yuan Gai Suwen's army's attack again and again made Lao Li feel inexplicably confident.

In Lao Li's eyes, Cangzhou City is already as solid as a god.

No matter how Jing Yuan Gaisuwen finds a way, it is impossible to break through Cangzhou City.

Li Jing had previously proposed to take advantage of the long-term attack by the Goguryeo army and its morale was sluggish, and he went out of the city to attack them.

But it was rejected by Lao Li.

Since Cangzhou City can be defended, it can be delayed for a while.

When Yuan Gaisuwen's army can no longer hold on, attack them again, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties.

There is nothing wrong with the emperor's idea.

Li Jing couldn't find an excuse to refute.

I was just a little worried, thinking that the emperor was a little too dependent on Cangzhou city defense.

"Your Majesty, news has been heard in Chang'an, saying that the Crown Prince was kidnapped by Zhao Chen in public and his whereabouts are unknown." Li Jing told the emperor about the news he had just obtained.

Li Jing was unwilling to tell the emperor about this.

But there is no way to hide it from the emperor!

"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen is a little anxious. Your Majesty thinks he will kill His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Shiji also spoke.

Although he knew Zhao Chen's true identity, he knew Zhao Chen's temper even more.

Li Tai is conspiring to murder Zhao Chen behind his back. If Zhao Chen doesn't control himself, he might attack Li Tai.

Both are the emperor's sons. If there is another incident from that year, it would really be a joke.

It was undoubtedly a huge blow to the emperor.

"I'm not worried about this, and boy Zhao still cares about my feelings." Old Li said with a smile.

In fact, Old Li also understood that Zhao Chen cared about his feelings.

Empress Changsun is in Chang'an. Even if Zhao Chen dealt with Li Tai, he would not take his life if he didn't look at the monks and Buddha's face.

As for how to deal with it, Old Li doesn't care.
