Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

At this time, without Yang Hongyu opening his mouth, Li Shimin knew that the other party was expressing dissatisfaction with him and standing up for Chu Mo.

Sighing, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "That's all. Today's matter is a personal grudge between you and Wang Junkuo. I will no longer be involved and you can resolve it on your own."

After saying that, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Seeing Li Shimin trying to run away, how could Chu Mo let him go so easily.

"Old Li, where are you going? The matter between us and Wang Junkuo has been settled, but the matter between you and me has not yet been settled."

Li Shimin glanced at Chu Mo doubtfully and waited for the next step.

Seeing the other party's confused look, Chu Mo snorted coldly:

"Old Li, you called us back to Chang'an today. Why did you forget it so quickly?"

"It doesn't matter if you forget, but when are you going to repay the land you owe me?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but blush when Chu Mo directly told him about the money he owed in front of so many people.

Then he looked at Chu Mo angrily and said, "I have my own arrangements for your affairs. When you return to Chang'an, someone will naturally come to negotiate with you."

After saying that, before Chu Mo could continue to speak, Li Shimin turned over, got on the horse, and then galloped away.

Looking at the heroic horse under Li Shimin, Chu Mo clicked his tongue twice. What a good horse. Unfortunately, the owner is not good. How can a horse that is so suitable for pulling a cart be used for riding?What a waste of resources.

Li Shimin, who didn't know Chu Mo was eyeing his mount again, quickly returned to the palace with his guards.

As soon as he returned to the imperial study, he smashed his most beloved paperweight into pieces.

After roaring for a while, he asked Wang Dehai to take Concubine Yang and Li Xiaogong to negotiate with Chu Mo.

Seeing Li Shimin leaving, leaving only the Xuanjia Army still cleaning the battlefield, Chu Mo felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and he had to leave as soon as possible.

Although Li Shimin has seemingly given up on this siege, who knows whether the other party will take the opportunity to return to Chang'an and mobilize more troops to pursue him.

Moreover, he had sent a distress signal before, but so far, Zhang San, Li Si and the others had not seen even a single figure.

Of course, Chu Mo would not think that all the other parties had defected. It was more likely that they encountered something on the way and were intercepted halfway.

At this time, Zhang Sanyi and his men, whom Chu Mo was thinking about, had already led the Xuanjia Army chasing them into a dense jungle.

Originally, according to Zhai Changsun's opinion, the enemy deliberately led him into the jungle when he could not enter the forest. This showed that the opponent was good at jungle warfare and might even have laid an ambush inside.

If he continues to pursue, something unexpected may happen.

But this time the supervisor was Cui Jaw from the Cui family of Qinghe, the imperial censor.

Ever since the Cui family suffered heavy losses at the hands of Chu Mo one after another, everyone in the Cui family hated Chu Mo.

This time Cui Jia received Li Shimin's order and came to supervise the Xuanjia Army led by Zhai Changsun.

Cui Jia felt that the Xuanjia Army was invincible in the world. He used 800 men to deal with more than 1000 mud-legged soldiers. Naturally, he was able to capture them with ease, chopping melons and vegetables as easily as he could.

Therefore, he forced Zhai Changsun to nip the only armed force in Chu Mo's hands in the bud no matter what.

Since Cui Jia had the support of Li Shimin's holy metaphor, and Zhai Changsun also believed that the other party was just some stragglers and not something to be afraid of, he only hesitated a little.

He agreed to Cui Jia's request and continued to pursue the army in depth.

Zhang San and others did not expect that the other party would dare to go deep into the jungle and pursue them.

Out of concern for Chu Mo, he also wanted to see the training results of his brothers during this period.

Therefore, Zhang San directly ordered the soldiers to be grouped into groups of three to five to fight independently, giving this group of high-minded Xuanjia troops an unforgettable lesson.

Not long after Zhai Changsun led his Black Armor Army deep into the jungle, bursts of screams could be heard from time to time.

At first, Zhai Changsun just asked and found out that some soldiers were screaming because they had fallen into a trap.

Zhai Changsun was not surprised at all that there were traps in the dense forest.

After all, there are deep forests and dense grass here, and there are definitely many animals among them. It is reasonable for some hunters nearby to set some traps here.

However, there were no signs on the side of these traps, which made Zhai Changsun a little angry.

He secretly swore that after going out, he must teach some lessons to the hunters in the surrounding countryside.

However, not long after this idea came up, I heard the screams from around me getting louder and more numerous.

If there were only one or two traps occasionally, Zhai Changsun could regard them as being set by hunters. However, the number of screams now was obviously not something that three or five hunters could complete.

So he hurriedly ordered his adjutant to go check it out.

Not long after, the adjutant came back and told Zhai Changsun that the soldiers who fell into the trap were basically injured but not killed.

Although fortunately the people who laid the trap had good intentions, the traps they laid were not very lethal.

But at the same time, the injuries to these soldiers delayed the pursuit of Zhang San and others.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhai Changsun and Cui Jiayi discussed it and decided to leave some soldiers behind to take care of the wounded, while those who were not injured continued to send a team of troops to move forward at full speed to explore the road conditions, hoping to clear the road as soon as possible. catch up with the opponent.

Sure enough, as soon as the order was executed, the originally slow team speed suddenly increased.

Zhang San and his party, who were secretly observing, saw that their strategy was immediately seen through by the other party, and they immediately started to implement the second plan.

Soon, Zhai Changsun and Cui Jia discovered that thick smoke was coming from nowhere in the already dark jungle, making people choke and unable to open their eyes.

The already difficult jungle has become even more difficult to walk due to the thick smoke.

The scouts responsible for exploring the path also disappeared into the jungle without knowing it.

The people following behind, except for occasionally hearing one or two screams and knowing that someone else was killed, could not distinguish what was happening ahead with their naked eyes.

As the thick smoke covered them, the Xuanjia Army led by Zhai Changsun not only had difficulty breathing, but also couldn't see their fingers.

Just as everyone was thinking about whether to return the same way, a scream of "fire" came from behind.

Then, one, two. . .Until a group of people shouted together.

"Fire, it's on fire."

"Run, the jungle is on fire, I don't want to die here."

The screams and shouts one after another reached everyone's ears clearly.

At this time, even Zhai Changsun knew that there must be a fire behind him.

So, regardless of continuing to execute the military order, Zhai Changsun shouted to the guards on the side: "You all shout together, let the people behind you run forward if you don't want to die, and try to distance yourself from the fire."

He knew that it was early autumn, and although the trees in the jungle were not very dry yet, as long as the fire broke out and he wanted to put it out, unless it rained from God, there was no way he could even think about it.
