Li Er didn't answer Lao Cheng's question directly, but just waved his hand casually and drove out all the old killers in the big tent.

There is no trick, these old guys rely on the fact that Li Er never sinners because of his words, and they don't joke big or small when they are done, and they often make Lao Li can't get off the stage, but they are helpless to take these old goods. So under normal circumstances now, Li Er basically has something to say, and immediately drives these old goods away if he has nothing to do, and he is out of sight and out of mind.

And just when Li Er and his subordinates were actively preparing for war, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen also returned to the army and arrived forty miles west of Anshi City.

"Report, General Qiyu, our army Tanma met the Tang Tanma twenty miles ahead, and there were eighty-seven casualties!" The 'two highs', who had been encamped because it was getting late, had just entered the big tent and had not yet sat down, when a former army scout came to the big tent and reported a very depressing news.

"Eighty-seven people...... Gao Yanshou was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How many Tanma are there in Datang?" How many people were killed in this battle? ”

"No, I don't know!" The messenger shook his head.

"Don't know? Didn't you say there had been a fight? Why don't you know? Gao Huizhen asked suspiciously.

"General Hui, it's ......, it's the vanguard army who found out that it was sent out to explore the horses and returned from the hour, so they sent people to the front to look for them, and found the bodies of the scouts halfway through, and the whole eighty-seven bodies were neatly placed on the side of the road." The herald replied cautiously, his eyes grunting, afraid of being angered by the two high-ranking generals.

"You always know how they died, right?" Gao Yanshou gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

The herald's report was somewhat unexpected, in Gao Yanshou's opinion, even if the Tang army was powerful, if it wanted to annihilate all its eighty-seven people, it would definitely pay some price, and it would never be possible to be unharmed.

"They were killed by people with crossbow arrows, and everyone was hit by at least one arrow, so it looks like they were ambushed."

"You go down, tell the front, send more scouts out, don't get too far away from each other." Looking at Gao Yanshou, whose face was getting more and more ugly, Gao Huizhen sent the herald out.

"Brother Yanshou, what do you think about this matter?" After the herald left, Gao Hui asked with a real look.

"What does Brother Hui Zhenxian mean?" Gao Yanshou was silent for a long time before asking a leisurely question.

"The Tang Dynasty is on this national crusade, does my brother think my Goguryeo can withstand it?" Gao Huizhen asked bluntly.

This is a question that exists in the minds of all Goguryeo, intellectually speaking, no one thinks that Goguryeo can withstand the attack of the million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty, even though Goguryeo has a standing army of nearly 600,000.

But emotionally speaking, they didn't want to admit that they would lose, and the Goguryeo high-level persisted in self-deception that the Datang would not be Goguryeo's opponent, and the 'righteous' Goguryeo would definitely defeat the Datang.

Therefore, Gao Huizhen's question is exactly the one that countless Goguryeo are unwilling to face but have to face, and even Gao Yanshou doesn't know how to answer.

After a while, Gao Yanshou sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time, there will always be a result, right?" ”

There was a long silence until finally the 'two highs' did not say anything again, and when it was completely dark, they each saluted each other, and both left to go back to rest.

The next day, when the sky was still dark, it was the herald of yesterday, sweating, excitedly waking up the two mattresses who had just fallen asleep.

"Say what you just said again, and if there's half a lie, watch your head!" In the Chinese military tent, the 'two highs' and the generals gathered, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the worried soldiers.

"General, the scouts have found out, and today the Tang Emperor will climb to enjoy the scenery......"

"Nonsense, how can the rich woman climb the heights to enjoy the scenery after the Tang Dynasty be discovered by the scouts? At this time, it was the critical moment of the war, how could Emperor Tang be willing to leave his Chinese army camp. Before the herald could speak, a Goguryeo general angrily rebuked.

"It's not a villain's lie, it's what the scout saw with his own eyes." The herald argued.

"Let's talk about it." Gao Yanshou waved his hand to stop the general from asking again, and said to the herald.

"It's the general!" The herald paused, reorganized his tone, and then said: "It was the scouts who found that the mountain southeast of Anshi City was densely covered with flags, and it was only when they risked death to get close to take a closer look that there was a faint royal guard of honor among them, so it was judged that the Tang Emperor was climbing the mountain to enjoy the scenery." ”

"This ......" Everyone was stunned, looking at each other and not knowing how to decide.

They are all people who have fought battles, and the first thought of everyone is: chance!

But in an instant, another idea popped up: an ambush!

But this has nothing to do with the herald, he is just a big soldier, this situation is not his turn to interject at all, wait for a while and see that no one asks him anything, so he bowed down and retreated, and found a place to rest by himself.

"What to do? What do you think about this? Gao Huizhen asked slowly.

As a southern mattress on a par with Gao Yanshou, he is indeed qualified to ask this question.

"You can go check it out!" A general subordinate to Gao Huizhen thought for a while and said: "We have no chance to enter the city at all, and it is impossible for the Tang Army to let so many people in our whole army enter the city, rather than confronting hundreds of thousands of horses outside, it is better to gamble." ”

"Easy to say, what if there is an ambush?" A voice retorted.

"What if there's an ambush? Even if there is an ambush, the Tang Emperor dares to use himself as bait, don't we dare to gamble? ”

"What if the bet is wrong? Anshi City is waiting for our 150,000 people to save their lives, do you dare to gamble with so many people? ”

"I don't need to tell you the truth of half-crossing, right? Do you think that when we are halfway into the city, will Datang suddenly send troops to fight? When the time comes, there is no way to advance, no way to retreat, and what should I do? If you are outside the city, 150,000 people face hundreds of thousands of troops, how is this different from being ambushed? ”

For a while, everyone in the big tent expressed their opinions and argued, and some people thought that they should gamble, and if they could catch Li Er, it would be a great achievement; Some people think that this is a trap, and if they go, they are afraid that there will be no return.

In the midst of the noise, Gao Yanshou slapped the table fiercely: "Enough, shut up Lao Tzu, go back to gather the army, let's go and see, if the Tang Emperor is really on the mountain, we will attack, if the situation is not right, we will camp in the city and confront the Tang army!" ”

This is Gao Yanshou's final decision, which is actually equivalent to saying nothing, but they don't have a very good choice, they can't stop because Li Er climbed the mountain once, and 150,000 people stopped moving, and there are still forty miles away from Anshi City, so let's go on the road first!
