The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 849
The Xiliang soldiers were already in a panic, and now the chief general, Duan Jiuzheng, died at the hands of Qin Huaiyu.Even more without the slightest fighting spirit.

So they dropped the weapons in their hands one after another, knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.Hope this can save my life.

It's a pity that Li Tai had already issued an order, that is, the whole Tianguanguan will not be left behind.Therefore, the Imperial Guards would naturally not accept their surrender, even if they gave up their resistance, it would be useless.

……

"Brother Emperor, as far as I know, General Luo Huan has only a hundred men. How can he force tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers and civilians back to Jietian Pass?" Li Zhi asked Li Tai.

After all, the command tower is high enough to have an overview of all the situations in Jietian Pass.So Li Zhi watched Duan Jiuzheng lead people out of Jietianguan.

But in less than an hour, he brought someone back and killed him.You don't need to ask to know that Luo Huan must have blocked you back.

However, Li Zhi didn't think that with more than 100 people, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians could be blocked.So I asked Li Tai for proof.

"Your Majesty, although Luo Huan's armor-breaking army has only [-] people, they have set a trap in advance on the only way to retreat to Suoyang City."

"In addition, Luo Huan has tens of thousands of grenades in his hand, as well as a lot of fuel oil. The emperor thinks about it, how could [-]% of this paragraph not be returned to Jietian Pass." Li Tai said to Li Zhi with a smile.

Although Li Zhi couldn't imagine, with more than 100 people against 5 people.But looking at the red cannon and the grenade in front of him, he had to believe it.

The battle lasted until night before it was truly over.In the entire Jietianguan, it can be said that chickens and dogs do not stay.

After another day of detailed cleaning, Li Tai connected Li Zhi to Jietian Pass.He also sent someone to notify Xue Rengui, and quickly led his troops to Jietian Pass.

Xue Rengui left 2 horses in Jinxia Pass, and then led the rest of the troops to Jietian Pass.

……

At the same time, the deputy general who received Tianguan had also arrived at Suoyang City.And met Su Baotong, Generalissimo of Xiliang.

"Report to Grand Marshal, Jietianguan is lost." The deputy general knelt in front of Su Baotong and said tearfully.

"Where is Duan Jiuren, the commander-in-chief?" Hearing that Jietianguan was lost, Su Baotong was not shocked or angry at all.As if all of this was within his expectations.

"Report to Generalissimo, I am afraid that the general soldier has already died in Jietian Pass at this time. The Tang army's equipment is really terrifying..." Then the deputy general told Su Baotong about the red cannon and grenades.

"Since the Tang army has such terrifying weapons, why didn't Duan Jiucheng take his troops back to Suoyang City. Instead, he stayed in Jietian Pass to die." Su Baotong said.

"Marshal of the cavalry, the commander-in-chief is indeed planning to lead his troops back to Suoyang City. It's a pity that he was ambushed by the Tang army on the way..." Then the deputy general told Su Baotong what happened during the retreat.

"There is such a weapon in the world. If Tang Jun really has this kind of weapon, then this Xiliang country may not be able to keep it." Su Baotong said after taking a breath.

"Generalissimo, I am afraid that this deputy general himself is a deserter, and he is worried that he will be dealt with by the generalissimo. That's why he made up such absurd excuses to the generalissimo."

"That's why the general thinks that the Generalissimo should give this deputy general the death penalty, so that he won't disturb the morale of the army." Su Bao stood up with a white-robed general next to him and said.

This general is none other than He Zongxian who slipped away on Phoenix Mountain that day.In order to save his dog's life, he even went all the way south to Xiliang.

In the end, I met Su Baotong by chance, and the two people smelled the same.Or have the same enemy, so now He Zongxian is serving under Shu Baotong.

Hearing what He Zongxian said, Su Baotong couldn't help but nodded.After all, what the deputy general said was too unbelievable, not to mention that He Zongxian didn't believe it, even Su Baotong thought it was very absurd.

So Su Baotong said angrily to the lieutenant general: "Abandoning the commander's robes and fleeing back to Suoyang City privately is a capital offense. But now you don't want to repent, and you have lied to the commander."

"How could my commander leave someone like you to confuse the army's morale. Come, let me push this lieutenant general to me to dismember him."

The deputy general didn't expect that he came to Suoyang City to report the letter after a narrow escape, and not only did he not get the slightest reward, but now he ended up being cut into pieces.

But the deputy general didn't beg for mercy, because he knew in his heart that it was useless to say anything now.

……

"Marshal, He Zongxian and General He are asking for an audience outside the mansion." A servant in Su Baotong's mansion came to Su Baotong's study and said.

Hearing that it was He Zongxian who came, Su Baotong ordered someone to invite him to the study.And he opened his mouth and said to He Zongxian: "What's the important thing to come to see the commander-in-chief so late?"

"Marshal, do you think what the deputy general who received Tianguan today is true?" He Zongxian asked Su Baotong.

"What do you mean by that? Didn't you tell me at that time that he was trying to shirk his responsibility by lying to the public? Why do you ask me like this now?" Su Bao said, looking at He Zongxian with a puzzled expression.

"The Generalissimo has never dealt with Yan Wang Li Tai, but the last general has had a lot of contact with him. Anything can happen to him." He Zongxian said to Su Baotong?

"Since you feel that what the deputy general said was not a lie, I don't know why you let the commander kill him. Didn't you let the commander kill the hero by mistake?" Su Baotong asked He Zongxian with wide eyes and glared at He Zongxian.

"Generalissimo, although the deputy general did not lie, he has indeed committed the crime of confusing the morale of the army. If he is not killed, there may be panic in the army." He Zongxian said?
Hearing He Zongxian's explanation, Su Baotong couldn't help but nodded.After all, as the saying goes, kindness does not do business, and goodness does not lead soldiers.Since he can become a marshal, why would he care about a human life?

"If Li Tai, the king of Yan, possesses such a weapon, it will be hard to avenge our great hatred." Su Baotong said to He Zongxian with a sigh.

"So we have to think of countermeasures. As long as we can calculate with our minds and minds, no matter how sophisticated his weapons are, we may not be able to get out of Suoyang City." He Zongxian said to Su Baotong?

"I don't know what strategy General He has. Now there are no outsiders, but you can say it's okay." Su Baotong asked He Zongxian?
He Zongxian said to Su Baotong in a low voice; "If the Generalissimo uses Suoyang City to plan an empty city, and asks the soldiers to change into civilian clothes and hide among the common people."

"As long as the Tang army enters Suoyang City, they can find an opportunity to burn the Tang army's food and grass. As for the so-called extremely lethal weapons, they can also find ways to do something secretly."

"Since Suoyang City is going to be used as an empty plan, then give him a one-stop solution. Directly pour poison into all the water sources in the city."

"As long as Tang Jun takes the well water, he will be poisoned, and as long as Tang Jun is poisoned, even if he has a powerful weapon, what is there to worry about?" Su Baotong said with a grin.
