The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Xu Shiji understood very well.

As long as they can do something now, the army will not retreat.

He won't watch Cangzhou City being destroyed, nor will he be chased by Yeon Gaesumun's army.

As of now, they can't find any solution at all

Yeon Gaesomun's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be stopped by tens of thousands of them.

Moreover, once Yuan Gaisuwen leads his army beyond Cangzhou City, the entire Tang Dynasty will be completely exposed to Yuan Gaisuwen.

By then, hundreds of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty will fall into the misery of war.

This is what Xu Shiji doesn't want to see.

Now that Zhao Chen is right in front of him, all Xu Shiji can think of is hoping that Zhao Chen has the ability to turn things around.

Now Yeon Gae Suwen's army is blocked by the fire in Cangzhou City, and there is no way to come over yet.

Now they still have a chance.

Zhao Chen just nodded, knowing Xu Shiji's worries.

Now that Cangzhou has been lost, Zhao Chen is also worried.

Yuan Gaisuwen is not a good person. If he is really allowed to lead the army into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, he will be able to drive them out in the end.

Datang had to go back at least ten years.

The two didn't speak anymore, and the group quickly came to the center of the team. The emperor was riding on a war horse, with no expression on his face.

The emperor at this moment has no trace of his former glory.

From a distance, it looks like a dying old man.

His Majesty!

His Majesty!

Xue Rengui followed the emperor and saw Zhao Chen walking towards them at a glance.

The emperor came back to his senses and looked at Xue Rengui with a frown.

But he saw Xue Rengui pointing forward, his face full of excitement.

The emperor followed the direction of Xue Rengui's finger and saw that Zhao Chen had come to him.

Boy Zhao! Lao Li's eyes turned red when he saw Zhao Chen for the first time.

God knows how much pressure Lao Li has endured these past two days.

Li Jing

, Xu Shiji and the others are just ministers after all. No matter how great their pressure is, it is not as great as that of Lao Litou.

But Lao Litou himself couldn't tell others.

Seeing Zhao Chen at this moment, he was naturally a little excited.

Old Li Tou, you look old. Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and smiled.

You little bastard. Old Li Tou cursed and jumped off his horse.

General Zhao. Xue Rengui also greeted Zhao Chen.

The troops continued to move forward, Zhao Chen and Lao Litou walked to one side of the team, and they moved forward together.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Li Ke, and Xue Rengui followed behind.

Has the matter in Chang'an been resolved? Old Li Tou was silent for a while before asking Zhao Chen about the matter in Chang'an.

Old Li Tou wanted to ask Zhao Chen what to do next.

But he was also afraid of hearing Zhao Chen say that he had nothing to do.

So I simply asked about the situation in Chang'an.

Solved. Zhao Chen nodded and just said these three words.

Where's that little beast Li Tai? How is he doing now? Old Li Tou asked.

Although his tone was scolding Li Tai, Zhao Chen could tell that Old Li Tou didn't want to deal with him harshly.

Perhaps in Lao Litou's eyes, Li Tai was still his son.

There was no way he could do that.

Now he is locked up in the East Palace. Apart from losing his freedom, everything else will be arranged according to his status as the prince. Zhao Chen said.

If the emperor hadn't known that Zhao Chen would never deceive him about such things, he might have doubted whether Li Tai was killed by Zhao Chen.

That little beast has no serious skills, but he is quite capable of causing trouble.

When I return to Chang'an this time, I will depose him as the crown prince. Old Li Tou

Hate said.

In fact, Zhao Chen also heard that Old Li Tou said this just to reassure himself.

After all, if Li Tai continued to be the prince, how could Zhao Chen agree?

If the incident continues, it is not certain whether Li Tai will still be alive.

Cangzhou City is lost, what are your plans? Zhao Chen did not answer Old Li Tou's words, but took the initiative to ask about the matter at hand.

Lao Litou's expression froze.

There is nothing he can do now.

The only option is to block Yeon Gaesumun's army bit by bit.

For example, Li Jing is now setting up traps in the rear army, preparing to intercept the pursuit of Yeon Gaesumun's army.

But everyone knew that this was just to slow down the march of Yuan Gaisuwen's army at the expense of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

After all, it’s just drinking poison to quench thirst.

Is there anything you can do? Old Li looked at Zhao Chen without saying that he was completely helpless.

But what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?

Use the sky-blasting cannon. Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou and said in a deep voice.

The Sky Boom Cannon has not been used for a long time.

It was used in the war with Tubo. If Tubo had not received foreign aid, it would have starved to death on the plateau.

After that time, Zhao Chen always considered that the Sky-Hunting Cannon was too cruel, so he never allowed the Tang army to use it.

Even if the emperor requested it several times, Zhao Chen refused.

But today, Zhao Chen actually took the initiative to mention using this thing...

Are you really going to use that thing? Old Li was a little surprised.

He remembered that he and Zhao Chen had previously requested to use the sky-blasting cannon, but Zhao Chen refused several times.

The two even had a heated argument.

But Zhao Chen never agreed.

today……

If you

If you don't want to use it, you can think of other ways. Zhao Chen looked at Lao Litou without any expression on his face.

Due to the hasty response to the battle and Hou Junji's treason, the Tang army was retreating steadily.

If Yuan Gaisuwen's army is really allowed to enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, it will be the people of the Tang Dynasty who will suffer.

The sky-blasting cannon was originally the last guarantee to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If you don’t need it now, will you wait until the people of the Tang Dynasty are slaughtered?

When we came out of Chang'an, I had people prepare the sky-blasting cannon. If we hurry up, we will arrive here in the next two days.

On the way we came, there was a terrain similar to Hulukou, where we blocked Yuengai Suwen's army.

What else do you think about? Zhao Chen said about his plan.

Knowing from the shopkeeper that the city of Cangzhou was broken, Zhao Chen was observing the terrain along the way.

Less than fifty miles away from them now is the terrain of Hulukou.

If the army were to fight head-on, even if they could catch them by surprise, they would not be able to withstand Yeon Gaesumun's army, which was several times their size.

In the end, the battle must be defeated.

If the sky-blasting cannon is placed at Hulukou, the situation will be completely different.

There is no need to think about it. You are responsible for everything here now. Old Li shook his head.

It was even hard for him to believe that when Zhao Chen came to him, he felt inexplicably at ease.

Even though he still doesn't know what the terrain of Hulukou is like, as long as it is Zhao Chen's choice, it will definitely be good.

Xu Shiji. Old Li Tou and Xu Shiji shouted.

Your Majesty! Xu Shiji came to the emperor.

All affairs of the army are under the unified command of Zhao Chen, and no one is allowed to disobey his orders.

Otherwise, you will be punished by death. The emperor said, with a serious look on his face.

Yes! Xu Shiji responded, nodded with Zhao Chen, and passed on the order.
