The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Seeing the Tang army withdrawing, Huizhen was surprised but felt relieved.

If the cavalry of the Tang Army had continued to charge just now, Huizhen would most likely lose many troops.

Of course, the Tang army would not fare much better.

At the same time, Huizhen also understood Zhao Chen's intention to withdraw his troops. Zhao Chen was a strategist and he would never put all his troops into a war.

If this really happened to him, or if he lost his troops or generals, Zhao Chen wouldn't be able to explain it when he went back.

And Zhao Chen obviously would not be satisfied with defeating just one person. Taking down the entire Goguryeo was Zhao Chen's final idea.

So regarding Zhao Chen's sudden withdrawal of troops today, Huizhen felt clear in his heart.

But now that Zhao Chen has withdrawn his troops, that's when he, Huizhen, is looking for an opportunity.

Things discussed with Hou Junji before can now be put into action immediately.

Go quickly and invite Mr. Hou and this general. Huizhen and the soldiers shouted.

Today's Hou Junji came extremely slowly, so slow that Huizhen couldn't help but scold him when she almost saw Hou Junji.

What's so important, Mr. Hou, that it took you so long to come? Huizhen looked displeased and looked at Hou Junji with cold eyes.

The other generals also looked dissatisfied.

Hou Junji, a Tang Dynasty man, was favored by Yeon Gaesumun, so he found a place to survive in Goguryeo.

But today Huizhen summoned him, and Hou Junji did come so late. It was obviously a deliberate neglect.

Many generals were already thinking about killing Hou Junji on the spot to vent their anger.

General Huicheng Mingjian, I was arranging the next attack on Shacheng. When I heard the news from General Huizhen, I was arranging tasks, so I was delayed for some time.

General Huizhen, please forgive me. Hou Junji explained to Huizhen with a smile.

Regardless of whether what Hou Junji said was true or not, at least Huizhen felt a lot more comfortable.

Moreover, Huizhen asked Hou Jun to gather here this time just to discuss the capture of Shacheng.

Although she felt aggrieved, Huizhen still endured it.

Forget it, since Mr. Hou was delayed because of matters in Shacheng, I, the general, will not pursue the case.

By the way, Mr. Hou, is there any way to capture Shacheng?

General, I heard that Zhao Chen sent Xue Rengui back to take charge of Shacheng. Xue Rengui also has some abilities. I guess it won't be that simple if there is no good way to attack Shacheng this time. Huizhen waved his hand and asked Hou Junji again. Things in Shacheng.

For the Tang Dynasty, Shacheng was a natural moat leading into Goguryeo, but for us, Goguryeo, it was just an ordinary small town.

There are currently less than five thousand defenders in Shacheng. It would not be difficult to capture them by force.

It's just that there will be a lot of losses.

Xue Rengui is well-known, but he won many battles with the help of Zhao Chen. If General Huizhen can hold off Zhao Chen's main army, he can capture Shacheng within five days. Hou Junji and Huizhen said.

Huizhen was overjoyed when she heard Hou Junji say that the battlefield could be captured within five days.

But thinking that it would take five days for Hou Junji to entangle Zhao Chen's main army, Huizhen felt unsure.

Huizhen knows Zhao Chen's abilities.

Today's cavalry charge was just a tentative attack, or Zhao Chen just wanted to show his strength in front of him.

If he wanted to completely entangle Zhao Chen and prevent Zhao Chen from sending troops to rescue Shacheng, it might not be that simple.

If the general can't buy five days for me, I'm afraid this sand city will be difficult to break.

As time goes by, when the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive in Shacheng, things may change. Hou Junji saw Huizhen's hesitation and said again at that time.

Hearing Hou Junji say that the Tang Dynasty might send reinforcements to Shacheng, Huizhen suddenly felt uncertain.

He only has two choices now.

Either lead the troops to retreat and wait for Yeon Gaesumun to come and deal with him.

Or just listen to Hou Junji's suggestion and entangle Zhao Chen's army for five days.

If Yeon Gaesumun comes to deal with him, and coupled with the previous defeat in Hulu Valley, Huizhen will definitely not end well.

So he could only choose the second option, which was to agree to Hou Junji's method of trapping Zhao Chen for five days.

If this general gives you five days to hold Zhao Chen, are you sure you can capture Shacheng?

If you can't take it, what will you do? Huizhen stared at Hou Junji closely and said in a deep voice.

Hou Junji smiled slightly and said: If Shacheng cannot be captured, General Huizhen will personally come to take someone's life. ??

Okay, with your words, this general will feel relieved. Huizhen looked happy.

He believed that people like Hou Junji would never make such a joke easily.

Unless he really doesn't want to die.

With Hou Junji's guarantee, Huizhen finally felt relieved.

Mr. Hou, is there anything else that I can help you with? Feel free to mention it to me at this time. Huizhen asked Hou Junji again.

Now Huizhen puts all her expectations on Hou Junji.

Actually, it's nothing. I just hope that General Huizhen can help me have a few nice words with the commander-in-chief after the epidemic is over. Hou Junji said with a smile, and then he and Huizhen cupped their hands and turned to leave.

General, do you really think he is right?

Problem?

To capture Shacheng in five days, this is not very reliable! As soon as Hou Junji left, a Goguryeo general said to Huizhen.

How could Huizhen not understand the absurdity of this matter.

But now he has no choice but to trust Hou Junji.

Otherwise, what will Huizhen do? Now besides being a dead horse as a living horse doctor, what other choice does he have?

Hou Junji is a smart man. He fled to Goguryeo for his life. Once something happens to Goguryeo, he will not end well.

So saving us means saving himself. I believe he knows the stakes. Huizhen said slowly.

From his heart, he does not believe Hou Junji

But there is no other way at the moment, Huizhen can only choose this.

As for Hou Junji's suggestion that he, Huizhen, and Yeon Gaesumondo have a few nice words to say after the war, it was just a casual talk and no one took it seriously.

General, what should we do next? Another Goguryeo general asked Huizhen.

They had just experienced a defeat, so they would not take the initiative to attack the Tang army!

If you really want to do this, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Wait for Hou Junji to take action first. Once Hou Junji takes action, Zhao Chen will definitely want to go back to support.

At that time, we can send troops to stop them along the way and delay their return to the cloud.

We still have more people than them, and five days won't be too difficult for us. Huizhen said to his generals.

Even though she said this, Huizhen herself actually didn’t have any confidence.

In today's battle, all his cavalrymen were lost, and the morale of the army was severely damaged.

It is definitely not an easy task to stop Zhao Chen's army for five days.
