Chapter 1770 You are just following orders

"What did you say?"

"Did Tushe attack the south gate of the new city?" Yuengai Suwen returned to the camp and also asked people to count today's losses.

Although the siege losses at other city gates were also quite large, they were also included in Yeon Gaesumun’s medical information.

But when he heard that Tuoshe didn't ask anyone to attack the south gate, it made Yeon Gaesumun very uncomfortable. .??.

Since returning from the battle with Zhao Chen, Tuo She has been staying in his tent, not daring to show his face at all.

Therefore, Yeon Gaesumun did not dare to give him the main offensive task.

Then he asked Tuo She to lead his troops to the south gate of the new city.

The original intention is to let Tuoshe harass the opponent.

As a result, someone now actually told me that Tuo She didn't let anyone attack the south gate of the new city at all.

Why?

Why?

"Call Camel over to me immediately."

"immediately!"

"Right away!" Yeon Gaesumun was angry. Did Tuo She disobey his orders so much?

Is this okay if this continues?

Tuoshe was invited over, but his face was still very ugly.

When he saw Yeon Gae So-moon, he didn't salute and just stood quietly beside him.

There was no trace of the previous arrogance on his face.

The whole person is like a peacock that has been plucked.

"Tuoshe, I heard that you did not attack the south gate of the new city today. Why? Give me an explanation!" Yuengai Suwen stared into Tuoshe's eyes and said slowly.

He wanted to know whether Tuoshe didn't obey his orders or what?

If he really violated his orders, then he, Yeon Gaesumun, would never be polite to Tuo She.

Tuo She raised his head slightly, glanced at Yuengai Suwen, and then muttered: "That Zhao Chen is at the South City Gate, I..."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

Not because Zhao Chen is at the south gate of the new city, but because, just because Zhao Chen is at the south gate of the new city

The door, Tuo She, this guy who didn't take anyone seriously before, didn't dare to attack.

Tuo She, who was so arrogant and arrogant at first, was so scared that he didn't dare to attack?

When Yeon Gae Suwen heard Tuo She's answer, he clenched his fists subconsciously.

It was just Zhao Chen, but he actually made his strongest general dare not make the slightest move.

If Zhao Chen doesn't die, Yuan Gaisuwen will die in Zhao Chen's hands sooner or later!

"There's nothing scary about Zhao Chen, he just might be a little stronger personally."

"The strength of our army is much stronger than theirs, otherwise it would not be us but them who would be attacking the city." A smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Gaisuwen's face, comforting everyone in the camp.

"yes."

"Then if Zhao Chen is really that scary, his people should attack us now instead of us attacking them." A general immediately agreed.

"That's right. What's so great about Zhao Chen is his personal ability. In a battle with a large army, what can he do alone?"

"Commander, I will attack the south gate tomorrow. I will definitely capture the south gate in one battle and kill Zhao Chen by the way."

"Haha——" The last person's words made Tuo She laugh disdainfully.

"General Tuo She, what do you mean?" Being laughed at by Tuo She made the general very unhappy.

"It's nothing. Since you want to go, you can just go tomorrow." Tuoshe said, and he and Yuan Gaisuwen cupped their hands, turned around and left the camp.

"Commander, look at this hunchback, it's clear that he's trying to boost others' ambition and destroy his own prestige."

"Tomorrow I will definitely capture Zhao Chen and present it to the commander-in-chief." The mocked general said with his fists clasped.

"Then I'm just waiting for good news from the general." Yeon Gaesowen chuckled.

…

"Your Highness, you are so powerful."

"Young General Tuo She also knows that he is the most powerful general under Yeon Gaesumun."

"He was already preparing to attack our South City Gate today. Unexpectedly, as soon as Your Highness stepped forward, that Tuo She was so frightened that he did not dare to move."

At the south city gate, the generals of Xincheng looked at Zhao Chen with admiration.

If Zhao Chen hadn't been here, a bloody battle would have been inevitable at the South City Gate today.

What's more, coming from the opposite side is the notorious Tuo She.

But even Tuo She just saw Zhao Chen appear on the tower and immediately led his team back a hundred battles.

From early morning to dusk, I really didn’t miss an arrow.

The other city gates were all fighting bloody battles, but only their south gate was looking at the opposite side and eating solid food in their mouths.

"Today is just a fluke. Yeon Gaesumun will definitely be replaced tomorrow, so there will definitely be a battle tomorrow. Please tell the soldiers to have a good rest."

"In addition, you must not be careless when fighting." Zhao Chen said slowly.

The general who defended the city nodded repeatedly.

He also knew that it was impossible for Yeon Gaesumun to remain silent at the South City Gate.

But today's scene really shocked him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the soldiers are all ready. As long as the other side dares to attack the city, we will definitely kill them." The defending general assured, patting his chest.

…

"Military advisor, didn't we just receive the imperial edict? Without an imperial edict, no one is allowed to mobilize the border troops?"

“Where did His Royal Highness the King of Han’s imperial edict come from?”

In the Tang Dynasty's border army camp, Xu Shiji summoned all the border army generals to discuss matters.

Sending troops to Silla has far-reaching implications.

He, Xu Shiji, couldn't make this decision alone.

Moreover, once a general suspects this, internal strife may occur.

The most taboo thing about sending out troops on expeditions is unstable military morale.

So he wants to eliminate this situation before then.

"The imperial edict is false." Xu Shiji put the imperial edict directly on the table without any concealment.

But Xu Shiji's words made all the generals feel numb.

The edict is false!

Doesn’t this mean that the King of Han is falsely spreading the imperial edict?

This is a capital crime!

"Military advisor, how dare the King of Han forge an imperial edict?" A general had uncontrollable fear on his face.

If the court knew about this, Zhao Chen would definitely be captured on the spot, no matter his identity.

"Your Highness went to Silla. He must have encountered something that he couldn't deal with, so he forged an imperial edict and mobilized the border troops such as myself."

"I am telling you this because I want to ask you if anyone is willing to obey the will and lead the troops on the expedition!" Xu Shiji said slowly.

But the faces of everyone present were filled with uncontrollable fear and shock.

The king of Han, Zhao Chen, actually forged an imperial edict.

This is even a capital crime punishable by beheading!

And Xu Shiji actually asked them if they were willing to obey the imperial edict.

This imperial edict is a forgery!

"Military advisor, this imperial edict..."

"This edict is false, but if we take it to be true, then it is true." Xu Shiji interrupted the general.

"I am willing to send troops to support His Highness, but if the matter spreads to Chang'an..."

"If the matter reaches Chang'an, you will only act according to orders without knowing the inside story. You don't need to worry about anything else." Xu Shiji said slowly.

"What about you, military advisor?"

"Knowing that it was a forged imperial edict and still mobilizing border troops and military advisors, this is a capital crime." A general looked at Xu Shiji with worried expressions.
