"Why can't you hold on?"

"I have nearly 70,000 people, and Songtsen's cadres only have 130,000 people, and they have just experienced great defeat before."

"The loss is close to 70,000!"

"There are still soldiers from Gaochang State, why can't they defend?" Li Shimin was very puzzled. He even thought that Niu Jinda was lying about military affairs.

Niu Jinda looked bitter, and he also wanted the Tang army to be invincible.

But since the news of Zhao Chen's accident reached the army, the morale of the 30,000 troops began to shake.

Although Li Jing's 40,000 troops were not greatly affected, the Songtsian cadre army was invincible for half a month, conquering several Gaochang cities in succession, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

How could Li Jing’s 40,000 army be the opponent of the 130,000 army of Rensongzan cadres?

Moreover, after many Gaochang cities were captured, the original Gaochang City defenders turned to Songtsen Gampo. With the intelligence transmission from Gaochang State City defenders, it was even more difficult for them to defend the Gaochang capital!

"Your Majesty, the Songzan cadre army has conquered several cities in Gaochang State for half a month, and its military power is in full swing. Moreover, there are many Gaochang City defenders rebelling. They have sent intelligence to the Songzan cadre army, and even colluded with Gaochang City defenders.

The inside and the outside are in harmony.”

"So, how can my army defend for a long time?" Niu Jinda sighed and looked at Li Shimin helplessly.

Li Shimin was angry, but he knew that what Niu Jinda said was reasonable.

This is not his Tang Dynasty, this is the defenders, nor is it the elite of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone here may be betrayed at a critical moment.

It’s not that Niu Jinda is incompetent, but that the situation here is forced.

But if they do not defend the capital of Gaochang, wouldn’t everything they have paid here be in vain?

"I don't want to hear the news of our army's defeat."

"No matter what, we must strictly guard the capital of Gaochang. When I came here, I had already sent papers to the Northeast Front defenders and asked them to lead half of the troops here to support!"

"I will definitely arrive within two months!"

"I must kill Songzan Gampo to avenge boy Chen!" Li Shimin's tone was firm and his eyes were unquestionable.

Niu Jinda nodded, but said nothing after all.

When Zhao Chen had an accident, Niu Jinda was indignant and sad. If he had been more determined at the beginning and led his troops to attack the Luoxi army with Li Jing, such a thing would not have happened to Zhao Chen.

If he had not left Zhao Chen and brought his troops to the capital of Gaochang, Zhao Chen would have an army of 50,000 by his side, so he would not have been as unsure as he is now, and his life and death are unknown!

"Your Majesty, I will recommend that you arrest Queen Gaochang Wu Xu first!" Niu Jinda's sudden words shocked everyone.

Because they all knew very well that Niu Jinda treated Wu Xu as if he was his own granddaughter.

Why did you suddenly ask the emperor to arrest Wu Xu today?

Everyone was puzzled, and even the emperor himself felt incredible.

Although I resented Wu Xu in my heart, I would not arrest him here.

Everyone looked at Wu Xu, but saw that he had no change in his expression. It seemed that nothing Niu Jinda said was doubtful.

He himself accepted the result.

But everyone couldn't understand why this happened.

"Why is General Niu?" Li Jing couldn't figure it out and took the initiative to ask.

The others also looked at Niu Jinda, waiting for his explanation.

"I and Tubo are united and are ready to join forces to deal with the Tang Dynasty..."

"What?"

"You join forces with Tubo?"

"Prepare to deal with my Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone's expressions changed, Li Shimin's eyes were full of anger, but Wei Zheng looked disbelief, and Li Jing's eyes were full of surprise.

No one can understand how the good Wu Xu could unite with Tubo to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty sent troops to help them in Gaochang.

Wu Xu actually dealt with the Tang Dynasty in reverse?

But since it was united with Tubo, why did Songtsen Gampo lead troops to attack the capital of Gaochang?

Is this a joint rupture? Or is it a trap against oneself?

In just one moment, after all, he pulled out his sword and put it on Wu Xu's neck.

Wu Xu did not avoid or dodge, and his face was expressionless.

Li Jing looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor had a gloomy face and a stern look, as if he had chosen someone to eat.

"I treat you well, why do you do this?" Li Shimin's deep voice and his eyes were cold.

"When will you treat me well?"

"If it weren't for you, why would I be at this point today?"

"I originally wanted to be by Zhao Chen's side, even if I was just an obedient little maid, I would be happy in this life, but you, Li Shimin, don't want to, marry me to King Gaochang."

"I am a teenage woman, a foreign country and no one is available around me. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

"I hate it, why can you, as an emperor, easily decide a person's future?"

"Since you can, why can't I?"

"I not only want to unite with Tubo, but also take over your Tang Dynasty and replace Li with Wu." Wu Xu said slowly, his face full of coldness and sternness.

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly. He never expected that a woman would have such an idea.

Replace Li with Wu?

"Kill him!" Li Shimin said coldly.

Wu Xu still had a expressionless face, but his eyes were cold to look at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty!" Li Jing felt nervous when he heard this.

"Don't he likes Boy Chen? Let him go with Boy Chen!" Li Shimin said again.

"Your Majesty, as the Queen of Gaochang, if Wu Xu kills him, Gaochang will inevitably have civil strife, and we will be in danger!" Niu Jinda persuaded Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin was already furious, and he could not hear Niu Jinda's words.

The few he cares about the most now are the Tang Dynasty, the Empress Changsun, and the Third is Zhao Chen.

Wu Xu not only joined forces with Tubo to conspire to the Tang Dynasty, but also indirectly killed Zhao Chen. How could Li Shimin let him go?

"Didn't you hear my order?" Li Shimin was furious, pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at Wu Xu.

Wu Xu did not dodge or avoid, and his eyes were calmly looking at the sword that Li Shimin stabbed at him.

"Bang!"

The sword regained three inches in front of Wu Xu again, and was blocked by another Yun Baoshao sword.

When everyone heard the sound, they saw Li Ruoshuang holding a long sword in front of Wu Xu.

It was him who stopped Li Shimin's angry sword just now.

"Li Ruoshuang!"

"Ruoshuang!"

"Sister Ruoshuang!"

When everyone saw Li Ruoshuang appear, their expressions changed.

Li Shimin was angry because Li Ruoshuang actually blocked the sword he stabbed at Wu Xu.

Li Jing was surprised. He was worried about why Li Ruoshuang didn't appear before, but he didn't expect to come to him at this moment.

Wu Xu was even more at a loss. He never told Li Ruoshuang about Zhao Chen.

But Li Ruoshuang is here now, obviously knowing about Zhao Chen.
