Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 296
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Qin Tian can naturally observe slowly, and then find out the undercover agent.

But they couldn't afford to delay, so they could only use this almost cruel iron-blooded method.

Of course, this method is risky. If Linglong is not frightened and refuses to say anything, then he will scare the snake. Unless he is extremely cautious along the way, he may suffer disaster at any time.

However, Qin Tian is still willing to give it a try, because he feels that people are afraid, and as long as his defenses are defeated, everything will be much easier.

When the boy's head was still bleeding, Linglong was already paralyzed on the ground in fright.

She has also seen murder, but she has never seen a murder like Qin Tian. She hardly thinks about it and kills with a knife. Wouldn't it be easy for Qin Tian to kill her?
Linglong was scared, there is no one who is not afraid of death.

Qin Tian's eyes were very cold, and his whole face was also very cold, it was so cold that it made people feel creepy.

"Tell me who your accomplice is."

Linglong swept her eyes around, and then pointed at a person. When the person found out that he was being accused, he panicked and tried to escape, but just as he was about to escape, Hu Shiba threw out a big knife, He lazily cut it in half.

Blood sprayed, someone vomited out the food they had just eaten, and the smell in the room suddenly became unpleasant.

Qin Tian glanced at Linglong: "Kill it!"

With an order, Shanmu cut off Linglong's head without any hesitation.

In a short time, three people were killed, and many soldiers who were holding grain were shocked.

They had heard of Qin Tian before, but they didn't know that he would be so cruel when facing the enemy.

During this period of time, they followed Qin Tian, ​​but they didn't realize that Qin Tian was like this. They felt that Qin Tian was still very gentle.

But today they realized that the Qin Tian they thought was not the real Qin Tian, ​​the real Qin Tian could be so cold-blooded that even he himself was afraid.

Killing is like hemp.

Everyone has changed their views on Qin Tian, ​​at least in terms of attitude, they are no longer the same as before.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian felt relieved. He doesn't like to kill people, but many times, many things must be achieved by killing people.

For example, now, these undercover agents must die, because their existence is always a danger to him, and he needs to make these soldiers unable to refute his orders.

"Starting today, we will travel day and night to Gyeongju as soon as possible. I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to be lazy or make trouble on the way."

In the past, no one would do anything to say this, but now after Qin Tian said this, none of them dared to doubt it.

A person who dared to kill easily, his words were never a joke.

"Here!"

It was still very hot, so Qin Tian asked someone to take some dry food and water before continuing on.

But at this time, no one dared to complain anymore.

Qin Tian looked at these people, but his expression was still a bit dignified. To be honest, there was still some delay on the road these few days. Even if he traveled day and night, he didn't know if he could arrive before Li Shimin's food and grass were finished.

A day or two late may cause unnecessary trouble.

These days, we must speed up.
-
As time went by, the weather outside Gyeongju was extremely hot, and the cicadas were constantly singing.

In the Tang army's barracks, Li Shimin frowned.

"How much food and grass are there in the army?"

"My lord, there aren't many more. After eating today, there may be nothing left tomorrow."

Hearing this news, Li Shimin frowned even more. Without military rations, they had to make a choice.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin immediately ordered: "Go and call Li Ji and Qin Shubao to this king."

Not long after, a group of civil servants and generals entered Li Shimin's tent, the tent was very hot, Cheng Yaojin asked while wiping his sweat, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin said: "There is not much food and grass in the army, and we can only support it for a day. This king wants you to come and discuss the next countermeasures."

"What, it can only be eaten for one day?" Cheng Yaojin yelled when he heard that the food and grass were gone, Li Ji glared at him: "What is it called? "

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, but he really didn't continue talking.

"My lord, didn't Xiaotian send someone to send a message saying that he has left with food and grass?" Qin Shubao still misses his adopted son very much, and also believes in him.

Li Shimin said: "That's right, but so far, we haven't heard from them. We have to wait until they arrive."

Everyone is looking at each other, they are naturally aware of this, but the problem now is how to support it.

"My lord, why don't you retreat for a while, and we will attack again after the food and grass arrive."

This is indeed the best way. As long as you retreat to the city, you can find some food. Although it is not much, it is not a problem to last for a few days.

But at this moment, Hou Junji immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't retreat. Once we retreat, the crown prince will probably make some small moves in the capital. If he says we flee without fighting, then we are deserters. Now that you are not in the capital, What if the Holy One is partial to his belief, or he will say, we might as well attack the city with all our strength, maybe we can take Qingzhou City down."

Hou Junji was a general trusted by Li Shimin, and he was a student of Li Jing, and he was quite proficient in the art of war. In his opinion, if the Tang army fought hard, it would not be hopeless.

Others knew this, but soon, Li Ji shook his head: "General Hou, we can indeed capture Qingzhou City, but the key is that if we attack hard like this, we will suffer heavy casualties. Don't forget, except Outside of Tuyuhun in Qingzhou City, the Dangxiang tribe is also eyeing us right now, as long as we fight Tuyuhun to the death, they will rush over soon, do you believe it or not?"

Li Ji, also known as Xu Maogong, is by no means inferior to Li Jing in terms of resourcefulness. Facing Li Jing's apprentice like this, he is naturally slightly superior. Hou Junji muttered, "I can't retreat, I can't attack. Are you waiting?"

Hou Junji chuckled, and said again: "Tomorrow the soldiers will have nothing to eat, and soon there will be riots in the army. Tuyuhun and Dangxiang will take the opportunity to attack us at that time, do we still have the strength to fight them?"

Will be discord.

Li Shimin frowned, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Ji's mouth: "Who said we have no chance, Qin Tian has already brought food and grass, we just have to wait, he will definitely bring us food and grass in time. "

"You trust Qin Tian too much. I heard that the man who raised the crown prince is called Duanmuliang..."

Li Ji smiled slightly: "My lord, what do you think? We all listen to you."
