Even though people were sent to investigate, Huizhen was still somewhat worried.

Although he believed in Hou Junji, Zhao Chen's sudden stop of withdrawing troops made Huizhen feel very strange.

That's why he asked someone to contact Hou Junji to see what was going on over there.

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

Zhao Chen is now sending troops to investigate their situation. Will they continue to ambush Zhao Chen's troops, or will they stay put?

These all require Huizhen to make the final decision.

Huizhen was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: Send some people to continue the ambush, and the others will withdraw to defend the camp.

To prevent Zhao Chen from suddenly attacking my camp.

Huizhen's worries are not unreasonable.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Chen suddenly stopped withdrawing his troops and it was clear that he wanted to attack his base camp.

Since he knew the other party's intentions, wouldn't it be a joke if he was unprepared?

Tell the soldiers, as long as we persist until Hou Junji takes Shacheng, it will be time for us to counterattack. Huizhen said to the Goguryeo general in front of him.

The Goguryeo general nodded, and then quickly conveyed Huizhen's order.

Two hours later, Huizhen had not received the news that she had sent out scouts.

Huizhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He was only a few dozen miles away from where Hou Junji's troops were.

Although there may be an ambush by Zhao Chen's troops on the way, it is unlikely that so many people will not come back.

Huizhen was even a little worried that something had happened to Hou Junji.

Even if he didn't send anyone out to contact Hou Junji, Hou Junji should take the initiative to keep in touch with him.

Otherwise, how would Huizhen know when Hou Junji captured Shacheng?

But now the strange problem is here. None of the people he sent out came back.

No news came from Hou Junji.

General, did something happen to Hou Junji? Otherwise, why is there no news at all?

We have already sent out more than a dozen scouts. One or two can always rush to Shacheng.

Why is there no news at all? the Goguryeo general asked Huizhen.

Huizhen was irritable in her heart. When she heard the Goguryeo general next to her saying this, she felt even more inexplicably anxious.

No news came back from the scouts, so either something happened to the scouts on the way, or something happened to Hou Junji.

But Hou Jun gathered 20,000 troops to attack a sand city with only 5,000 defenders.

What could happen?

Hou Junji was still a veteran of the Tang Dynasty. If he couldn't even capture this small city, how could he have the dignity to live in this world?

But the current situation is that Zhao Chen stopped withdrawing his troops and instead looked towards his base camp.

This had to make Huizhen suspect that something happened at Hou Junji's place.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Chen be so confident?

According to his previous plan, Zhao Chen should be desperate to withdraw his troops and return to Shacheng to aid him.

Do you still dare to waste time with yourself here?

Continue to send people to contact Hou Junji, and at the same time mobilize all the troops back to prevent Zhao Chen from raiding our camp. Huizhen immediately said to the Goguryeo general.

It has to be said that Huizhen still has a strong sense of crisis.

Perhaps because of the many times she had fought with Zhao Chen before, Huizhen always had an extra thought in mind when facing Zhao Chen.

When the Goguryeo general heard Huizhen's order, he hurried out again.

Zhao Da, we have discovered the location of Huizhen's camp. Qin Huaiyu came to Zhao Chen's camp and told Zhao Chen about his findings.

Oh? Where? Zhao Chen looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked.

On a hillside five miles away from us.

But this guy seems to have discovered something, and gathered all the soldiers who were scattered around him.

At the moment, Huizhen Camp is estimated to have no more than 20,000 people. If we want to capture Huizhen Camp, it will be extremely difficult. Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen talked about the current situation.

Cheng Chumo stood aside without saying a word, seeming to still be thinking about what Zhao Chen just said.

What's your opinion? Zhao Chen looked at the others and asked.

Brother Emperor, since Huizhen has reduced his troops and no longer blocks our army's retreat, we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible to assist Shacheng.

Otherwise, if Hou Junji really captures Shacheng... Li Ke did not finish his words, but his suggestion was undoubtedly approved by many people.

Many people nodded, feeling that the most important thing now was to resolve the crisis in Shacheng first.

Cheng Chumo looked up at Zhao Chen, waiting for Zhao Chen to speak.

He wanted to know Zhao Chen's final decision so that he could confirm what he thought.

Although Hou Junji has 20,000 troops, Xue Rengui is not an ordinary person. Although he only has 5,000 soldiers guarding the city, it is enough to withstand Hou Junji for a day or two.

So I prepared to pretend to continue to withdraw, causing Huizhen to send the main force to attack. Then Qin Huaiyu led all the cavalry of our army to attack Huizhen's camp at any time.

What do you think? Zhao Chen said slowly.

Everyone had different expressions, and they seemed to be a little surprised by Zhao Chen's decision.

No matter how good Xue Rengui is, he may not be able to withstand the attack of Hou Junji's 20,000 troops and horses.

Once Shacheng is captured by Hou Junji, there will be no chance for them to stand up.

But knowing this, why did Zhao Chen insist on attacking Huizhen's camp?

Even though Qin Huaiyu felt that Zhao Chen was a little too persistent, he was deeply moved in his heart.

In order to avenge himself, Zhao Chen actually ignored his own danger.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu stood up from the team: Your Highness, give me one day. As long as one day, I will definitely chop off Huizhen's head.

At this time tomorrow, if Huizhen does not die, I, Qin Huaiyu, am willing to be punished by military law!

Qin San! Cheng Chumo wanted to call Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu stood in the center of the camp with his hands clasped, waiting for Zhao Chen's order.

Since you have this determination, I will naturally give you a chance.

Qin Huaiyu, whether you can kill Huizhen this time depends on your own ability. Zhao Chen said slowly.

This battle is about life or death! Qin Huaiyu spat out six words.

Well, now I have led the cavalry battalion and made my own decision. I will contain Huizhen's main force here.

Go! Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu said.

Qin Huaiyu cupped his hands and took the order and left.

Everyone in the camp also dispersed, leaving only Cheng Chumo and Li Ke.

Old Cheng, is the emperor a bit too much this time? Li Ke asked Cheng Chumo in a low voice.

Li Ke felt that Zhao Chen's decision this time was a bit confusing.

It even deviates from the normal trajectory of thought.

This is not a good sign.

Isn't Zhao Da there? Ask him yourself! Cheng Chumo glanced at Zhao Chen who was looking down at the manual map in front of him.

Li Ke also looked up and then shook his head.

He didn't dare to ask Zhao Chen too much.
