Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Hearing Li Ji's words, Chu Xiang just sneered.

If the other party had said this a month ago, he would have agreed without hesitation.

But now, there is not much time left for myself.

The reinforcements sent by Her Majesty the Empress have arrived at Shaanzhou City and will arrive here early tomorrow morning.

When the time comes for the other party to offer the city, it will be just a wedding dress for others.

Immediately, Chu Xiang shook his head and rejected Li Ji's request:

"General Li, I have said that I will give you two hours. If you obediently withdraw from Shaanxi Guan within two hours, then I will definitely let you live."

"If you don't know what to do, then I will have no choice but to give the order to attack the city directly."

After hearing Chu Xiang's undeniable words, he looked behind her to see the pair of bloodthirsty eyes full of killing.

Li Ji knew that he had no bargaining chips at all.

Taking a deep breath, he cupped his hands towards Chu Xiang and said:

"Then according to the general's words, in two hours, after two hours, I, Li Ji, will definitely lead people and hand over Shaanxi Guoguan."

After hearing this, Chu Xiang did not speak, but returned to the formation, and then sent out his soldiers to clean the previous battlefield and prepare lunch for lunch.

Li Ji, who was on the city wall, was not too surprised when he saw the scene below the city.

After all, these are just the other party's daily operations.

And he was not ready to abandon the city as promised to Chu Xiang.

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of these two hard-earned hours and began to order the soldiers to set up defenses in the city, preparing to engage in street fighting with the opponent after the city wall fell.

At this time, the only thing he could do was to lead his soldiers to buy more time for the retreating soldiers and people.

But what he didn't know was that Chu Xiang, who was outside Shaanxi Guan, had the same idea as him.

Chu Xiang had no intention of giving Li Ji two hours to retreat.

The reason why he took the initiative was just to paralyze Li Ji.

After all, although the army of the living dead under his command could easily capture Shaanxi Guoguan, there would definitely be casualties in the process.

If it had been before, Chu Xiang would not have paid any attention to the casualties.

She even wished she could bury all her demons under this Shaanxi Temple.

But now, her mind has changed.

If we say that she was still loyal to Chu Xin and Da Zhou before.

Now, she was a little worried.

After all, he had created such an army of the living dead that the world would not tolerate, and he still didn't know what Her Majesty the Empress meant.

What worries her even more is that Her Majesty the Empress has never had any communication or explanation with her on such a big matter as dispatching reinforcements. This has never happened before.

She was worried that her affairs had been exposed, and Her Majesty the Empress was furious. On the surface, this support army was here to support her in conquering Shaanxi Guoguan, but in fact it was here to kill her, so she had to guard against it.

And all of this is not her imagination.

Because not long ago, when he decided to take the lead in capturing Shaanxi Guoguan and seize this huge victory, General Lin Wan, who was far away in Luodu, actually sent someone to send him a secret message.

In the letter, the other party told him bluntly that Her Majesty the Empress now controls the Ministry of War, the center of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and more than [-]% of the courtiers.

The other party now wants further reforms, wants to overthrow all the old systems, wants to fully centralize power, and wants to replace all the generals who control the troops abroad, regardless of whether they are close or distant.

If it were before, Chu Xiang would definitely not believe Lin Wan's nonsense.

But now, Her Majesty the Empress suddenly sent such a support force, and she didn't even get the slightest hint of it beforehand.

And at this time, she was worried about being caught. She was also worried that Chu Xin would be killed because of this.

Therefore, subconsciously, she thought that what Lin Wan said was true, and Chu Xin was really going to attack herself.

Therefore, after a short period of thinking, Chu Xiang decided to preserve his strength and could no longer let the army of the living dead under him be damaged at will. Only with strength in hand can he cope with the next challenge.

As for winning Shaanxi Guoguan, that is inevitable.

She would not be able to give up such great achievements to others, no matter what, she would not be able to do it.

Besides, if he had captured Shaanxi Guoguan, he would have made such a great contribution.

Even if Her Majesty the Empress wants to move her, it must be weighed and weighed.

Of course, the premise is that if you capture Shaanxi Guoguan, you must have a group of soldiers loyal to you.

In terms of loyalty, Chu Xiang dares to say that his army of the living dead ranks second, so there is no army in the world that ranks first.

Once the army's loyalty is established, what's left is the army's quantity and strength.

In terms of strength, Chu Xiang is not worried.

After all, if he could suppress the Tang army and use Shaanxi Guoguan as a breeding ground, his combat effectiveness was unquestionable.

Now, the only worry is the number of troops.

His army of the living dead evolved from the soldiers under his command.

After such a long period of time, Shaanxi Guoguan was plundered and killed without restraint and without any rules, and indeed a lot of people were lost.

In the beginning, I had no intention of letting these demons and executioners leave Shaanxi Guoguan alive. I wanted to consume them all here, so I just let it go.

But now, things have changed.

Her Majesty the Empress's attitude towards herself may have changed.

If I want to gain a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I need this army.

If I want Her Majesty the Empress not to convict me or ignore me, I must have an army that will only obey me.

Therefore, Chu Xiang decided to retain the legion of the living dead and retain his own power and voice.

The Legion of the Living Dead is impeccable in terms of combat power and loyalty. The only shortcoming is the problem of soldier resources.

Today’s legion of the living dead is losing one person to another.

Chu Xiang did not believe that the later soldiers would be as crazy and interested in human flesh as his own soldiers before they experienced the cruel baptism of the battlefield.

After some thinking, Chu Xiang finally decided to capture Shaanxi Guoguan at the minimum cost.

Therefore, when Li Ji offered to dedicate the city and give him time to evacuate, Chu Xiang agreed without hesitation.

Of course, in her understanding, Li Ji was not such a coward, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to offer Shaanxi Guan with both hands.

The purpose of the other party's doing this is entirely to delay time.

As for Chu Xiang, after seeing through Li Ji's plot, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation and agree to the other party's request to temporarily paralyze the other party.
