In the end, Li Mo hardened his heart and rejected the supplies sent by the commoners.
After the soldiers and civilians parted, Li Mo led the rear troops and set off.
Even though they only had 12,000 people.
But with all of the Great Tang's financial resources, they had no choice but to march forward.
In addition, Qin Qiong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was experienced, was the vanguard, opening up roads and bridges.
The speed at which they advanced far surpassed that of an ordinary army.
On the morning of the fourth day of the expedition, they approached the location of Shanhai Pass in the future.
The officials and civilians along the way also showed great enthusiasm for the Tang army that was galloping north.
Li Mo and the others could feel the convenience of being in their own territory during the entire march.
However, the situation changed after they passed Shanhai Pass.
The commoners he saw along the way wore clothes that were very similar to those of the Tang.
The way they looked at the Tang army gradually changed from vigilance to unfriendliness as they got closer to the Tang Empire.
Then, it turned into hatred.
By noon, they had already traveled nearly a hundred li out of the Great Tang's territory.
The convoy suddenly stopped.
"What happened?"
Li Mo, who was walking in the middle, saw the convoy stop and urged his horse forward to ask.
"Lord Marquis, the bridge is broken!" A soldier reported.
Li Mo frowned and went forward to take a look.
A bridge over a 30-meter-wide river had collapsed.
The wooden bridge floated limply on the water.
The grain trucks in Li Mo's convoy couldn't pass.
Splash…
The sound of clothes colliding with the leaves of the bushes came from the nearby forest.
The entire bush was filled with shadows.
"Heh, you robbed me?”
Li Mo was so angry that he laughed.
He looked at the bushes with cold killing intent.
"Hiss…"
The figures in the forest were so frightened by Li Mo's gaze that their heads shrank back.
The people in the forest all called out,"What a heavy baleful aura!"
"Get out."
Li Mo hooked his finger.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange penetrative power. It carried a cold killing intent, like a cold wind, piercing through everyone's eardrums.
"Wu, passing Tang general, the army is passing through our territory, so leave some food to buy the way!”
A middle-aged man riding a warhorse with a bow and arrow on his back shouted at Li Mo.
Before Li Mo could respond, another voice came from the other side of the river.
"Lord Marquis!"
"General Li Jing asked this lowly servant to pass on a message, requesting General to speed up and not cause any trouble in Goguryeo.”
A travel-worn messenger cupped his hands at Li Mo across the river.
"Don't cause trouble? Hehe, I can't do that."
" We, the people of the Great Tang, are not going to feed the military rations that we save from our teeth to dogs," Li Mo said with a cold smile.”
The messenger was stunned, and then his face was filled with admiration.
"General Tang, what do you mean? Are you trying to provoke our Goguryeo?”
The middle-aged man on the horse shouted.
"Two choices. One, restore the bridge to its original state within 15 minutes.”
"Two, slaughter the village."
As Li Mo spoke, he raised three fingers on his left hand.
"General Tang, you dare?"
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched when he heard the word 'massacre'.
Shua!
Li Mo retracted a finger.
" You…" The middle-aged man's face instantly turned livid.
Shua!
Another finger retracted.
Now, there was only one finger left.
Li Mo's face instantly turned bloodthirsty and cold.
Whoosh...
The soldiers on the carriage also jumped down.
Countless spears were raised.
Like porcupines, the gleaming spearheads were aimed at the Goguryeons.
The air was instantly filled with a murderous aura.
"Milord, don't go overboard!"
"They will really massacre the village!"
The Goguryeons in the forest were terrified and began to scream.
A cold smile hung on Li Mo's lips.
He was about to retract his last finger!
"General Tang, please don't be angry. We'll just cultivate!”
The middle-aged man cried out in shock and then ordered a group of able-bodied men to step forward.
On their shoulders, they were still carrying the bridge pier that had disappeared.
"General, this is just a misunderstanding!"
"We Goguryeons have always been friendly with the Great Tang!”
"Look, it's almost fixed!"
The middle-aged man was like a chameleon, his face completely changed.
"En, I believe in the friendship between you Goguryeons, so…"
"You will definitely send strong men to assist us in our journey, right?" Li Mo said with a fake smile.”
"You!"
The middle-aged man's expression instantly became furious.
However, after Li Mo's fierce glance swept over.
"Of course not!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and bowed.
Not long after, the bridge was repaired.
The 500 men from the entire Goguryeon village who had been planning to extort the Tang army had also joined the army.
Pulling Li Mo's carriage…
At midnight, Li Mo arrived at the camp 30 miles away from Wild Fox Ridge.
Li Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that the Goguryeons who had been extorting him had been captured as well.
However, Li Mo did not care about that. He asked if the time of the attack would be after four o'clock in the morning the next day.
He returned to his tent and fell asleep.
