Not only Liu Hongji and Xiao Han, who were guarding Ningcheng, felt their hearts sink, but Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and even Niu Jinda, who was trapped in Jinan, were instantly startled and broke into a cold sweat.

"Can that guy run away?! He should be able to! This is an army of 100,000 people. How can he defend that small broken city?"

Cheng Yaojin, who had been busy these days, immediately summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures in the big tent after hearing the news.

Except for Cheng Yaojin, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, the counselors sitting in front of him were like ants on a hot pot, with cold sweat breaking out on their anxious foreheads!

They had guessed Li Zhen's next move countless times before!

But in their original idea, the most likely thing for Li Zhen was to attack Hebei first! Then use these two places as a basis, and then slowly move westward!

But who would have thought that Li Zhen would be so resolute and lead the army directly to Luoyang Chang'an regardless of everything!

You know, there are hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding Chang'an at this time! Going here, in the eyes of others, is like throwing an egg against a stone or feeding a tiger with meat!

"No, even though that kid is usually very slippery, his bones are very twisted! What if he gets angry and refuses to run, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Cheng Yaojin, who was in the chief position, had no time to guess how Li Zhen should deal with the hundreds of thousands of tiger troops in Chang'an!

What he is most concerned about now is Xiao Han's personal safety!

This is not only out of friendship and brotherhood! It’s also because he really understands Xiao Han’s position in Li Shimin’s heart!

Even on ordinary days, Li Shimin was kind and polite to these old brothers who fought together in the mountains and rivers, and even called them Paoze brothers!

But Cheng Yaojin knew in his heart that from beginning to end, the only one who could be truly recognized as a brother by the emperor was Xiao Han!

If something really happened to Xiao Han in Shandong, as the main commander in quelling the rebellion, he himself, and even Lao Fang, would definitely end up very miserable, very miserable!

Even if I kill all the rebellious officials and traitors in the end, I still can't make up for the loss of this battle!

"No! Lao Mao! Get your troops together and we'll go fight him first!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin didn't hesitate any longer. He slapped the armrest heavily, gritted his teeth and yelled at a strong, well-dressed man in the tent!

"Here!" Upon hearing this, the big man immediately knelt down on one knee to accept the order! Then he laughed ferociously and got up to gather his men outside the tent.

These days, he is running around like a fire-fighting team! As soon as he suppressed the bandits here, the bandits over there appeared again! He was tired of this kind of whack-a-mole task of suppressing bandits.

Got it!
