Although I knew it in my heart, Huizhen could never tell the truth to other Goguryeo soldiers.

Otherwise, everyone knew that blocking Zhao Chen's army for five days was a very difficult task, so how could they still have confidence?

At present, we can only let everyone know that they can stop Zhao Chen's army for five days.

Moreover, the other team led by Hou Junji was able to capture Shacheng.

Only in this way can everyone have confidence and choose to continue to follow him Huizhen to fight Zhao Chen.

Now Huizhen has placed all her hopes on Hou Junji.

Only when Hou Junji conquered Shacheng and others had a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, my 30,000 troops would be annexed by Zhao Chen sooner or later.

It's ridiculous to say that when the military strength is superior to the opposite side, Huizhen always feels that she will fail.

If this idea is known to everyone, it is estimated that the situation will be even worse at this moment.

Huizhen sighed slightly in her heart, then waved her hand to signal everyone to go down and prepare.

It has never been a simple matter to stop Zhao Chen from returning to the army to rescue him.

They need more preparation.

When everyone dispersed, Huizhen slowly sat back to her position, looking outside the tent, and didn't know what she was thinking.

...

Hou Junji left Huizhen and immediately returned to his camp.

From the beginning, Hou Junji took 20,000 troops under Huizhen, and camped with Huizhen.

Now the army led by Hou Junji is only fifty miles away from Shacheng.

When he returned to his camp, Hou Junji did not immediately send an order to capture Shacheng.

He had his own plans long ago.

Hou Junji knew very well that Yuan Gaisuwen placed his hopes on Zhao Chen's unwillingness to attack Goguryeo, which was simply a foolish move.

So from the beginning, this war was doomed to fail.

Hou Junji also wants to find his own way out.

He would definitely not be able to go back to the Tang Dynasty. After all, if it weren't for him, Qin Qiong would not have died in battle, and those soldiers who died in battle would not have returned to the battlefield.

Neither the emperor nor Zhao Chen would let him go.

Although Goguryeo does not seem to have lost his defeat at the moment, Hou Junji also has to make plans for himself in advance.

"General, I heard that we are about to attack Shacheng?" A Goguryeo general led his way into Hou Junji's camp and asked Hou Junji.

Hou Junji looked at the Goguryeo general in front of him.

He also knew that the person in front of him was Huizhen's direct subordinate. Although he was nominally here to assist him in commanding this 20,000 army, he was actually here to monitor him.

He didn't say anything when he came back from Huizhen. The guy in front of him knew that he was going to attack Shacheng soon.

Obviously Huizhen had sent someone to inform him of the news.

Now when I come over and ask myself, it’s just that Hui really wants to urge me to act quickly.

"I plan to attack Shacheng tomorrow. General Lu. If possible, the Japanese general of Ming Dynasty would like to ask you to lead the army to take the initiative." Hou Junji said to the Goguryeo general in front of him.

When the Goguryeo generals heard Hou Junji's words, they immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Huizhen Sedda came to supervise Hou Junji, but he didn't ask him to lead his army to attack the city.

But now Hou Junji asks him to lead troops to fight. If he doesn't agree, wouldn't Hou Junji have a reason to deal with him?

If you agree, siege is not a simple matter.

I will lose my life at any time.

This is really a dilemma right now.

"What's wrong, General Lu, are there any difficulties?" Hou Junji looked at the Goguryeo general in front of him with a smile.

"No...no difficulties, I just obey my orders!" After a long silence, the Goguryeo general nodded slowly.

If he didn't accept the order, Hou Junji would never let him go.

Maybe he would kill him directly with the order of resistance, so he would not even have a reason to refute him.

It would be better to agree, after all, he doesn't have to rush to the first formation by himself.

I wouldn't it be better if I hide behind a little while while siegeing the city.

"That's hard work, General Lu. If I can successfully conquer the battlefield this time, I will definitely talk to General Huizhen about your contributions." Hou Junji said with a smile.

Then he waved his hand to signal the Goguryeo general to leave.

The Goguryeo general bowed his hand slightly, and then quickly turned around and left.

When Goguryeo was about to leave, Hou Junji slowly turned around, and I exuded a faint sharpness here.

...

Xue Rengui led 5,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to guard Shacheng.

Zhou Qing and others were also by his side.

Xue Rengui was also very happy to receive the news that Zhao Chen's army had won the first stop, Xiao Sheng Hui's army.

At the same time, I was also a little worried that if the news here was known by the court, I am afraid that Zhao Chen's actions would arouse the dissatisfaction of many court officials.

Should I inform some people about the withdrawal in advance and let them prepare first?

"Brother, His Highness, the King of Han, is indeed powerful. I heard that he killed more than 1,000 cavalrymen in the first battle, and our army only lost hundreds of people."

"Now Huizhen camp cannot escape from the battle, and she huddled inside and dared not move." Zhou Qing said to Xue Rengui with a smile.

Xue Rengui just smiled and then looked at Zhou Qing: "Thank you for a hard time these two days, and you must always pay attention to the movements outside the city."

"Yesterday, Your Highness heard news that Hou Junji divided his troops into 20,000 and was stationed fifty miles away from my sand city."

"Now Huizhenxin is defeated, Your Highness is worried that they will divide their troops to capture my sand city."

"Sand City is extremely important to our Tang Dynasty. Once Sha City is attacked by Goguryeo, all of us will become turtles in the jar."

"So no matter what, you must guard the gates of Shacheng."

"Resolutely not give Hou Junji any loopholes that can be taken advantage of."

Xue Rengui was also worried, and his mind was actually the same as Zhao Chen's.

Huizhen was defeated by the Tang Dynasty on the front battlefield, so she would definitely look for opportunities.

At the beginning, Hou Junji, who had split his troops with Huizhen, could cause the most fatal damage to the Tang army, which was to capture Shacheng.

Once the sand city fell into Hou Junji's hands, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would be completely surrounded by the Goguryeo army.

Whether it is Zhao Chen or him, Xue Rengui, they will be surrounded and intercepted by the land locked in high-level bases.

By then, I don’t know how many of these 20,000 people will live.

Therefore, Xue Rengui attaches great importance to the safety of Shacheng, and it is precisely because of this that he warns the cautious Zhou Qing.

"Brother means that Hou Jun gathers to lead troops to attack my sand city?"

"But there are only five thousand soldiers in Shacheng. If Hou Junji really comes to attack, should we ask Your Highness to lead the troops back to help?" Zhou Qing and Xue Rengui asked.

Although it is a guardian city, the sand city is just an ordinary city for Goguryeo.

The direction he faced the Tang Dynasty was the real natural barrier, and for the internal Goguryeo, it was undoubtedly a broken place that was easy to attack and difficult to defend.

If Hou Junji really led his army to conquer the Shacheng, it would be difficult for their 5,000 soldiers to defend this small Shacheng.

Once this sand city falls into Hou Junji's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.
