Of course, the emperor also knew how unreliable this matter sounded.

But now is an excellent opportunity for him to win Gaochang in the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Xu gained a firm foothold in Gaochang. If he had supported the Tang Dynasty, he would easily take Gaochang without any effort.

Gaochang is an important channel to guard the road to the Western Regions.

If Gaochang Tang Dynasty is captured, you can send troops to the Western Regions.

Advance can attack and retreat and defend, which is a great temptation for Li Shimin.

The emperor still had a lot of thoughts about the expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Wei Xiang, don't you think this is an opportunity for our Tang Dynasty!"

"Gaochang's geographical location is extremely important. If we can take Gaochang, Tubo will become a lonely place. We can deal with them anytime we want."

"If Gaochang is taken down, our territory of Tang Dynasty can extend to the northwest again."

"I heard that there is a great country west of the Tang Dynasty and is eyeing my Tang Dynasty. I have long wanted to meet them for a while." The emperor and Wei Zheng expressed their thoughts.

"But your Majesty..."

"Wei Xiang, I'm just talking to you about this matter, and I haven't made the final decision, so there's no need to be so excited."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, please step back."

Wei Zheng wanted to say something to persuade the emperor, but was ordered to retreat by the emperor.

Seeing the emperor like this, Wei Zheng didn't understand it, and the emperor had already made a decision.

Helplessly, Wei Zheng had to bow and take the leave from the emperor.

The emperor sat in his seat, looking at the letter in his hand, and looked a little excited.

...

After several days of treatment.

The soldiers of the Gun Barracks gradually recovered.

Many people can walk down the ground, but their faces are still a little pale.

The other soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The eyes that looked at Zhao Chen became more respectful.

"Your Highness, it's fortunate that you are, otherwise I'd be in big trouble this time!" Xue Rengui bowed to Zhao Chen, his face full of admiration.

Xue Rengui was wondering whether Zhao Chen had sent God to save the Tang Dynasty from the fire and water.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Chen have such great abilities?

Even this kind of plague that no one can do anything about can be easily solved.

Xue Rengui is both respectful and admired Zhao Chen at this moment.

Thinking that he could lead the troops under Zhao Chen, Xue Rengui and others were also extremely excited.

"Thanks to you and everyone to work hard to resolve the plague, otherwise the soldiers would not have improved so quickly." Zhao Chen waved his hand with a smile and said to everyone.

Although this is what he said, everyone knew in their hearts that if Zhao Chen had not been here, they would not know what was going on now.

Thinking that the soldiers were suddenly infected with the plague for no reason, Xue Rengui was immediately angry again.

"Your Highness, you said you were doing a plague before. It was probably because Huizhen and the others were doing it. Now there is a conclusion?" Xue Rengui asked Zhao Chen.

If Hui really did it, Xue Rengui would definitely not let them go.

"Qin San sent people to investigate upstream of the water source, and a large number of rotten livestock corpses were found upstream of the water source." Zhao Chen said, and then looked at Qin Huaiyu beside him.

Qin Huaiyu stood up and said with a gloomy face: "Not three miles away from us, just downstream of Huizhen Camp, there are hundreds of highly decaying corpses of livestock that have been thrown into the river."

"When I took people to investigate from there, I could smell a foul smell from afar."

"The river water also emits a strange smell."

"I caught two tongues who were responsible for squatting there, and I also learned from them that this matter was done by Huizhen, and the person who came up with this idea was Hou Junji."

"Hou Junji?" Cheng Chumoteng stood up.

They have not heard about Hou Junji for a long time.

Unexpectedly, when Hou Junji appeared again, he would have given Huizhen such a vicious idea to deal with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"A bastard, why didn't this old man kill him at the beginning?" Cheng Chumo cursed hatred.

Although the rest of the people didn't speak, they also looked the same angry look in their eyes.

But no matter how angry he is, Hou Junji is living a good life now.

There are so many people in my life, but there is no way to deal with Hou Junji.

"Your Highness, since we have now found out the murderer and found out the source of the plague, should we take action?"

"We can't suffer any loss, but we didn't react any way, right?"

"If this is spread, it won't make people laugh!" Zhou Qing stood up and said to Zhao Chen.

"Zhou Qing, what are you talking nonsense!" Xue Rengui scolded.

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhao Chen's wave.

"Zhou Qing said it right. Since everything has a conclusion, we should also fight back against the murderer who hurt our soldiers."

"It happened to be here this time, and I haven't encountered any serious excuses. Since Huizhen has helped us so much, we should naturally give him a big gift." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Chen said this, although he was inexplicably worried about it.

He knew that Zhao Chen came here to take the initiative to attack Goguryeo.

Before, Zhao Chen couldn't find any suitable reason, so he was delayed.

But now the soldiers of the Gun Barracks were infected with the plague because Hui really planned.

The Tang Dynasty had a serious excuse.

But what Xue Rengui was worried about was that their soldiers were few and the generals were so far away, and the local area of ​​Goguryeo was only a few dozen miles away.

They are at absolute disadvantage.

Once a war starts, it will be detrimental to them.

Moreover, if he took the initiative to attack Goguryeo, if this news spread to the court, Zhao Chen would be criticized by many people.

Xue Rengui didn't think this was a good time.

At least it should be Huizhen who attacked them first and used troops to attack them first.

Instead of taking the initiative to attack yourself.

After all, there is no real encounter with plague.

But now...

"Zhao Da, when will I send troops? I, Qin Huaiyu, are the vanguard!" Qin Huaiyu stood up from the position and came to the center of the tent, showing excitement on his face.

Qin Huaiyu has been waiting for this day for many days.

Now Zhao Chen is about to launch troops against Hui Zhen, and it is time for him, Qin Huaiyu to avenge his father.

Xue Rengui frowned, and he felt that it was necessary to persuade Zhao Chen again.

"General Xue, you are already stationed in Shacheng. If our army attacks Huizhen's camp, Huizhen will definitely send a whole team to attack my Shacheng."

"The battlefield is the only way out for our army, so there must be no mistakes."

"And according to my speculation, Huizhen will send Hou Junji to capture Shacheng, so I hope Xue Rengui, you can lead your troops to seize Shacheng." Zhao Chen looked at Xue Rengui and said slowly.

Xue Rengui was a little surprised and wanted to advise Zhao Chen not to attack Huizhen easily.

But I also know that I can't persuade Zhao Chen.

When Xue Rengui heard Zhao Chen say he wanted to guard Shacheng, he nodded.

Xue Rengui also knew in his heart that no matter what the situation was, Shacheng would never be missed.

This is the only way out for everyone.

If the sand city was thrown into the hands of the Goguryeo people.

Then they will really become turtles in the jar and will be chased and killed by Huizhen all the way.
