The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 450 Zhang Hanlin Comes Out
"Your Highness, since they are willing to be bastards and refuse to show their heads, then we will be trapped until he eats up all the food in the city. Let's see if he still obediently crawls out to die." Du He said to Li Chengqian.

"Then you have really fallen into someone else's trick. This Hanlin is obviously delaying the time. The purpose is to wait for Gai Suwen to assemble the army." Li Chengqian said.

"What should I do, I can't attack and I can't be trapped. Can I just watch him hide in the bastard shell?" Du He said angrily.

"Your Highness, this subordinate once thought about attacking with fire. Burning the entire Jili City into rubble with fierce fire oil, but it is not so easy to do so. So in the end, I had to give up." Xue Rengui said to Li Chengqian .

"The huge Jili City is not Yingzuiyan. We can attack with fire if we want. But you have reminded me." Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, have you already thought of a solution? Then hurry up and talk to the big guy." Cheng Chuliang asked Li Chengqian with a smile on his face.

"Although I have thought of a solution, it is only a prototype. I will inform you of the plan when I complete it." Li Chengqian said mysteriously.

……

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian ordered Zhao Tingxuan to go out of the city to call for battle.However, this lineup that had been watching the enemy was a bit stronger than ever.

Because early this morning, Yu Chigong and Xu Maogong came to Li Chengqian's camp.I want to see with my own eyes how Li Chengqian cracked open the bastard's shell.

I saw Zhao Tingxuan urging the red dragon horse under his crotch, and came to Jili City.And he bent his bow and shot an arrow towards the city wall.

A bamboo whistle is tied to this arrowhead, and a letter is also tied to it.Zhao Tingxuan shot directly onto the city wall.

Immediately, Zhao Tingxuan put away his bow, opened his mouth and shouted loudly to the city wall: "This is the horoscope written by my highness for your general, you can take it back and show it to your general."

This scene made Yu Chigong burst into laughter, and he asked Li Chengqian beside him, "Your boy is trying to provoke Zhang Hanlin, but this is not the way. Otherwise, Zhang Hanlin would have come out and died."

"Marshal, why worry, you can see if it works after a while." Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers on Jili City did not have the letter that Zhao Tingxuan photographed.But still stood there motionless.

But Zhao Tingxuan said again: "Could it be that Zhang Hanlin doesn't even dare to read the letters of my highness? But that's right, if he had the guts, he wouldn't set up this tortoise-like nine-curved Yellow River array."

This time, the Goguryeo guard on the city wall couldn't calm down.No matter what, he never thought that Li Chengqian already knew the name of his general's formation as soon as he arrived in Jili City.

So naturally he would not be as calm as before. After taking off the letter on the arrow, he headed towards the general's mansion.

……

"General, this is a letter sent by the Tang army, saying that it was given to you by the wise king Li Chengqian." The general who defended the city wall said to Zhang Hanlin.

"How many times have I told you that you don't need to pay attention to any actions of Tang Jun. Why did you send this letter to the general again?" Zhang Hanlin said angrily.

The defender said directly to Zhang Hanlin, "General, the people who came here actually know that the formation the general has set up is called the Jiuqu Yellow River formation. That's why the last general will send the letter to you, general."

Zhang Hanlin couldn't help being surprised by this, and thought that the nine-curved Yellow River array he had set up, even Gai Suwen, the Grand Marshal of Goguryeo, had never seen it.

How did Li Chengqian, who just arrived in Jili City yesterday, know that the big formation he set up was the Jiuqu Yellow River formation?

Then he took Li Chengqian's letter from the guard's hand.After opening it, Zhang Hanlin's expression couldn't help but change.

But it was only for a moment, and then the expression on Zhang Hanlin's face changed into a dismissive smile again.

And he said with a smile on his face: "It seems that Li Chengqian is really a big deal. This general should really go out and meet him for a while."

"The general must not, this Tang army is full of tricks. If the general leaves the city, something may happen." A lieutenant stood up and said.

The others nodded at the same time, indicating that Zhang Hanlin could not leave the city no matter what.After all, they all know how good their generals are at martial arts.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Hanlin went against all opinions.He said directly: "Generals, why don't you go out of the city with me and have a look?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the generals to object at all, and already took the lead to go outside the general's mansion.This can't help but make others follow suit.

……

Not long after, Zhang Hanlin came to the East City Gate, ordered people to open the gate, and led them out of Jili City.There was a line of battle on the bank of the moat.

This time, Yu Chi Gong was completely stunned, he couldn't figure it out no matter what.What exactly did Li Chengqian do to actually force Zhang Hanlin, a shrinking turtle, out.

Seeing Zhang Hanlin leading people out of Jili City, Li Chengqian urged Meng Jiaolong under his crotch to come to the front of the two armies.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming across from him, Zhang Hanlin said, "Are you the Li Chengqian who was dismissed as the crown prince several times?"

"It's the king. If the king's guess is correct, you should be Gai Suwen's brother-in-law Zhang Hanlin, right?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, when did this general become the generalissimo's brother-in-law." Zhang Hanlin said to Li Chengqian angrily.

"Then the king is a little strange. Why did Gai Suwen send you, a sissy who has no strength to restrain a chicken, to guard this Jili City? Could it be because you can set up this nine-curved Yellow River formation?" Li Chengqian said to Zhang Hanlin with a smile.

Zhang Hanlin looked at Li Chengqian with sharp eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Li Chengqian, don't try to provoke this general."

"I'm afraid you are already angry, otherwise how could you get out of your tortoise shell?" Li Chengqian said to Zhang Hanlin with a smile on his face.

"You said in the letter that you can break my Jili City in three days. If you can't break it, you are willing to submit a letter of surrender. I don't know if you mean it?" Zhang Hanlin asked Li Chengqian.

This time Yuchi Gong understood, no wonder this Hanlin was able to come out of the city.It turned out that Li Chengqian was bragging there and wanted to bet with others.

But this also made Yu Chigong sweat secretly, feeling that Li Chengqian's doing something was wrong.And he looked directly at Xu Maogong with a questioning look.
