The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 447 The Pioneer and the Marshal Bet

"Your Highness, Jili City is twenty miles ahead." Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian.

"Order the army to set up camp within five miles of Jili City." Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao.

After Qin Huaidao let out a sigh, he turned around to make arrangements, but Li Chengqian couldn't help thinking.Zhang Hanlin of Jili City is not like Pu Budao and Jin Changsheng.

That is an existence that should not be underestimated. It is said that Zhang Hanlin has studied art with a master since he was a child, and he has memorized the art of war and war strategy by heart.And he is very cautious.

"Bingru, can there be records about this Hanlin in history?" Li Chengqian asked Bingru.

Soon Bingru's voice sounded, and Bingru said: "No, this Hanlin seems to have never existed in history."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian said inwardly: "It is another existence like gold and wood. It seems that the battle of Goguryeo has changed a lot."

"Then about the map and introduction of Jili City, is there any corresponding record in the library?" Li Chengqian asked Bingru again.

"The introduction of Jili City can be transferred, but judging from the current situation, it may not be useful even if it is transferred." Bingru said to Li Chengqian.

"Could it be that Jili City has changed because of me?" Li Chengqian asked in disbelief.

"You will know when you get to Jili City. There are some things that I can't explain to you. I can only tell you after you become a god-level dude." Bingru said to Li Chengqian helplessly.

"It's another god-level dude, I'm getting more and more interested in this god-level dude now." Li Chengqian said to himself.

……

"General, another Tang army has arrived outside the city. It has already set up camp five miles away from the east gate." Zhang Gang, the deputy general in Jili City, came to Zhang Hanlin and said.

"It seems that both Liaodong City and Anshi Prefecture have been occupied by Li Chengqian. This makes me very much looking forward to a fight with the virtuous king of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Hanlin said with a smile.

"General, the four gates of Jili City are now under siege. If this continues, morale may drop. Why don't you let the last general go out and kill a few Tang generals to boost our morale." Zhang Gang He opened his mouth and said to Zhang Hanlin.

Zhang Hanlin also knows that if you don't fight all the time, no matter what tricks you have in your pocket, it will be useless.Because the soldiers don't know this, they only know that their master will not dare to fight.Morale will naturally be low over time.

So Zhang Hanlin nodded and said: "Tomorrow, if the Tang army comes to call for formation again, you will lead people to fight. But don't be too brave, and find a way to lead Tang army into the formation. As long as the soldiers see the power of the formation, Morale will no longer be low." Zhang Hanlin said to Zhang Gang.

Although Zhang Gang was reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Hanlin's orders. After all, Zhang Gang had been used to listening to Zhang Hanlin's arrangements since he was a child.

So after a sigh, I went out to prepare, hoping to show my skills in front of the two armies tomorrow.

……

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Xianwang is already five miles away from the east gate of Jili City." Cheng Chuliang walked into Li Shimin's yellow tent and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, as soon as Gao Ming arrives, there is nothing to worry about in Jili City." Li Shimin said happily.

But Yu Chigong on the side curled his lips in disdain, and muttered in a low voice: "I want to see how amazing you are, kid."

Although Yu Chigong's voice was not loud, it was still heard by Cheng Chuliang.Cheng Chuliang came to Yu Chigong and said, "Marshal, it seems that you don't believe in His Highness's ability. Why don't we make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet with Marshal Ben?" Yu Chigong asked Cheng Chuliang.

"Let's bet on whether His Highness can force Zhang Hanlin out of Jili City." Cheng Chuliang said.

"Zhang Hanlin of Jili City is a coward. He hasn't been out of the city for so long. Now that Li Chengqian is here, Zhang Hanlin's courage has grown?" Yu Chigong said with a face of disbelief.

During this period of time, Yu Chigong was very anxious, no matter what he thought of, Zhang Hanlin would not leave the city.But Xu Maogong disagreed when he wanted to attack the city, saying that attacking the city was the next strategy.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin also advocated waiting for Li Chengqian, which inevitably made Yu Chigong feel that he had nowhere to use his energy.So naturally it was a bit unconvinced to Li Chengqian.

Seeing that Yu Chigong was not convinced, Cheng Chuliang continued: "Since the Generalissimo is not convinced, why not just bet with the last general?"

"This Marshal is so difficult that you are afraid of you? Tell me, what do you want to bet with this Marshal?" Yuchi Gong said to Cheng Chuliang in a rage.

"It's nothing. If the Generalissimo loses, you only need to agree to one thing. If the Generalissimo loses, you can do whatever you want with the Generalissimo." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile.

"Okay, Marshal Ben made a bet with you. It's just that there is a time limit. Li Chengqian must force Zhang Hanlin out of Marshal Zhang within three days. After three days, it won't count." Yu Chigong thought about it. After thinking about it, he said.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Yuchi Gong has a good heart." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin also nodded, and then said to Xu Maogong: "Why is Cheng Yaojin's son so confident today? This is different from before."

"That's for sure. His Royal Highness the Xian Wang didn't come before. Of course these boys are afraid of Yuchi Gong. Now that His Highness the Xian Wang has arrived, they have their backbone." Xu Maogong said with a smile.

At the same time, Cheng Chuliang also nodded and agreed to Yu Chigong's request, and made a bet with Yu Chigong for three days.But it also shows that as long as the general of Goguryeo leaves the city, it doesn't have to be Zhang Hanlin.

Naturally, Yu Chigong didn't object, and directly agreed to Cheng Chuliang.Then Cheng Chuliang bid farewell to Li Shimin and left Huang Luo's tent.

Seeing Cheng Chuliang leaving, Xu Mao openly said to Yu Chigong: "I said Generalissimo, have you ever thought that if you lose, what will His Royal Highness ask you to do?"

"Didn't I bet with Cheng Chuliang? Why did I get involved with that kid?" Yu Chigong asked Xu Maogong with a puzzled expression.

"You just don't have a long memory. Do you think that if Cheng Chuliang is not sure, he will come all the way to bet with you?" Xu Maogong shook his head helplessly and said.

This time Yuchi Gong finally felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to chase Cheng Chuliang.But he saw Cheng Chuliang came back again, but there was another person beside him, it was Li Chengqian.

When Yu Chigong saw that the person who came was Li Chengqian, he was completely dumbfounded.Directly pointing at Li Chengqian, he said: "It turns out that you are playing tricks behind your back, and the bet just now cannot be counted."

"I said Generalissimo Yuchi, it's not a man's doing to turn back on his word." Li Chengqian said to Yuchi Gong with a smile.
