Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1029 Silla Withdraws Troops
[-] soldiers and horses rushed towards Qingzhou City in a mighty manner.

And when they rushed to Qingzhou City, Cui Xianzhi had already got the news.

Hearing that Cui Jianshi sent [-] troops to attack Qingzhou City, Cui Xianzhi immediately became a little nervous.

Forty thousand soldiers and horses are not many, but his Qingzhou City only has [-] soldiers and horses. If [-] soldiers and horses want to stop the siege of [-] soldiers and horses, it may not be an easy task.

For this reason, Cui Xianzhi immediately summoned all the court officials.

"My dear friends, Cui Jianshi sent troops to attack my Qingzhou City. I have [-] troops from Qingzhou. How long can I stop them?"

Cui Xianzhi asked, and the court officials looked at each other.

After a long time, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Silla has the advantages of a city, Cui Jianshi's [-] soldiers and horses are not easy to deal with. I think we may not last long."

After one official stood up, other officials also stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, [-] troops really won't last long. I think General Jin should be evacuated from Anshi City as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, I also think that we won't last long. If Gyeongju falls, Silla will be over. Let's evacuate General Jin."

"........."

These officials in the court don't care whether they can destroy Goguryeo or whether they can capture Anshicheng. They only care about whether they are safe.

So in comparison, even if their [-] soldiers and horses can last for a long time, they are more inclined to transfer Jin Jiang's soldiers and horses back, so that their safety will be more assured.

All the officials were inclined to transfer Jin Jiang back, and Cui Xianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He doesn't know how long his [-] soldiers can last, but he is more inclined to be sure.

If Jin Jiang doesn't come back, his Silla Kingdom will definitely be breached, it's only a matter of time.

And if Jin Jiang came back, he would be able to repel Cui Jian's ten soldiers, and he would be able to keep Qingzhou City.

Gyeongju City was saved, and Silla Kingdom was saved.

However, now that Jin Jiang is attacking Anshi City together with Tang Jun, if he lets Jin Jiang retreat, will Tang Jun be angry?
The officials were still talking, and after Cui Xianzhi thought for a moment, he immediately ordered: "Send someone to send a message to Jin Jiang, ask Jin Jiang to lead the troops to evacuate, and return to Qingzhou to rescue him, and also, send someone to the Tang army camp to Tang Jun explained the situation."

Cui Xianzhi still decided to save the Silla Kingdom first, as long as the Silla Kingdom is saved, there will be plenty of opportunities to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje in the future.

Of course, the prerequisite for him to destroy these two countries is naturally to maintain a close relationship with the Tang State and continue to borrow the power of the Tang Army in the future, so he wants to send someone to the Tang Army Camp to tell the Tang Army about the situation.

Immediately after Cui Xianzhi ordered to go down, someone rushed towards An Shicheng.

The autumn wind was getting tighter and tighter, and when Cui Xianzhi's envoy rushed to Anshi City, Cui Jianshi's soldiers and horses had already arrived at Qingzhou City.

Because they knew that Cui Xianzhi had sent someone to make Jin Jiang retreat, so after they arrived, they did not rush to attack the city, but made a gesture to attack the city.

Originally, their purpose was to relieve the siege of Anshi City, so as long as Jin Jiang was willing to retreat, they would not have to really attack the city.

After all, if the city is really attacked, the damage will be very serious.
-
On Anshicheng's side, Cui Xianzhi's envoy arrived at Jin Jiang's barracks first.

At this time, Jin Jiang was worrying, or in other words, secretly complaining.

Although their siege went smoothly these days and the Goguryeo soldiers and horses in the city were under a lot of pressure, but they sieged the city crazily and suffered serious losses.

And he doesn't have many soldiers and horses in Jinjiang, and if the damage continues like this, I'm afraid there won't be many left in the end.

Tang Jun can be damaged, but he can't afford it.

So he really didn't want to continue this war anymore, but he didn't dare to retreat without Cui Xianzhi's order.

Jin Jiang sighed in the barracks. At this moment, a guard hurried over: "General, His Majesty's envoy is here."

"His Majesty's envoy is here, but there is something to convey, please hurry up."

Jin Jiang didn't dare to hesitate, and soon, Cui Xianzhi's people were brought in.

"Meet General Jin."

Jin Jiang nodded and said, "What orders does His Majesty the King have?"

"General Jin, Baekje has sent troops to attack Gyeongju City. I'm afraid Gyeongju City won't last long. His Majesty the King is worried that Silla Kingdom will be destroyed, so I ask you to return to Gyeongju quickly for rescue."

After the envoy finished speaking, Jin Jiang's expression froze for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He already wanted to leave here, but he didn't expect Baekje to attack Gyeongju, which gave him a chance.

"Okay, okay, since Gyeongju is in crisis, General Ben will lead his troops back to rescue, but the Tang army..."

"General Jin, don't worry. Tang Jun has someone to explain. I believe Tang Jun can understand."

Jin Jiang wasn't worried about Tang Jun, anyway, even if something went wrong, it was Cui Xianzhi's fault, so after saying this, he didn't stay at Anshicheng for a moment, and left with his soldiers.

When Jin Jiang left, the people in Anshicheng were the first to get the news.

"Your Majesty, Jin Jiang has retreated. It seems that Baekje has taken action against Silla."

An official told Tian Yuan about the situation, and after hearing this, Tian Yuan nodded his head: "If Jinjiang retreats and only the Tang army is left, we don't have to worry. A battle."

The defense of the city is naturally possible, but Tian Yuan just wants to break the morale of the Tang army and defeat the Tang army head-on.

After Tian Yuan finished speaking, Lin Wuwei nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since Silla has retreated, I will lead my troops to form the Wuji Formation tomorrow to defeat the Tang army."

In Anshi City, Tian Yuan discussed these matters with the officials, and the Tang army's camp here soon learned the news.

"My lord, it's not good, the Silla soldiers have retreated."

Li Shimin was discussing with Li Ji and others about the upcoming siege, when he heard that Silla was retreating, he was stunned for a moment.

According to their calculations, if they continue to attack for a few more days, they should be able to capture Anshi City, but if Silla retreats, it will not be easy for them to capture Anshi City.

"It's abominable for Silla to withdraw its troops at this time, it's abominable..."

Li Shimin cursed a few words, but at this moment, a guard rushed in again: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Silla Kingdom is asking to see you."

Hearing the arrival of the envoys from the Silla Kingdom, Cheng Yaojin immediately snorted: "His grandma, she withdrew her troops and dared to send envoys here. Your Majesty, I'll chop him off with an axe."

Cheng Yaojin was about to strike with a Xuanhua axe, but was stopped by Li Ji.

"Don't worry, listen to what the envoy has to say."
