Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Battle of the Yalu River (1)
In Goguryeo, Li Xian's army was in the camp, watching the long-lost Dou Xiantong and Zhang Wuchen and others all come to him, Li Xian couldn't help but burst into tears and was excited, although he was only separated from these people for a month, but this month made Li Xian taste the taste of life and death, and even if he almost couldn't come back, how could such an encounter make him not cherish the reunion with these people who were regarded as his heart?
Seeing Li Xian's sincere tears, Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong were both moved in their hearts, but their reactions were completely different, Zhang Wuchen was grateful, and his loyalty to Li Xian in his heart was even more incomprehensible, and he was willing to die for Li Xian. And Dou Xiantong scolded with a smile: "This guy is really not ashamed, and he even learns from a woman to cry like this." ”
Although he said this, tears also flowed from Dou Xiantong's delicate face. However, in order to maintain her image, she turned her back to Li Xian, but she drove Li Yue and all her relatives except Zhang Wuchen out.
At this time, Li Xian also gently wiped his tears, and then said with a smile: "I dare to say that I don't know who has tears on his face." The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns with moth eyebrows. But when you see the tears wet, you don't know who you hate? ”
"Hmph, how dare you make fun of me? If I want to say hate, it is natural to hate Er, a person who is unfortunate and unlucky, who drove me away ruthlessly and made me patrol the city, but I was free for a month, I don't know that in this month, I do that fake Li Xian every day, Gu Jing self-pity, how hard this day is. ”
Dou Xiantong said that he hated, and he jumped to Li Xian's side, stretched out his slender jade hand and grabbed Li Xian's ear, this scene made Zhang Wuchen unable to watch it anymore, so he had to say goodbye to Li Xian, and then fled in embarrassment.
"Ouch, tap, there's Wuchen looking at ...... here" Li Xian looked up, but found that Zhang Wuchen had already fled, and couldn't help but say disappointedly: "Huh? What about people? Why don't you say hello when you leave? ”
Seeing this, Dou Xiantong was overjoyed, and the jade hand increased his strength again, so there was a cry like a king killing a pig in the tent......
After the two had enough, Dou Xiantong took out the letter written by Li Ji to Li Xian and gave it to him, and when Li Xian opened the letter, Dou Xiantong saw Li Xian smiling and silent, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look, but found that it was the words "Jiulong spit water, benefit in Sanjing", and couldn't help but say strangely: "What is written on this?" ”
But seeing Li Xian laughed: "This is a hidden word, informing me of the time of the army's expedition, nine for Renye, Long Naichen, Jiulong is also Renchen Day, Sanjing is the homonym of the three watches, Li Gong's meaning is to invite me, Renchen Day and the three watches of the two sides will meet, attack Goguryeo together, and conquer the Yalu River." ”
"Hmph, didn't you just say it clearly? But do you want to learn from the poor and sour literati to play dumb riddles? This fat old man just likes to play tricks. Dou Xiantong was originally a little dissatisfied with Li Ji's snubbing of him, but today he finally seized the opportunity to vent, so he couldn't help but vent.
But seeing Li Xian smiled faintly, and then said: "I don't understand here, the reason why Li Gong is like this is for the sake of secrecy, so that the intelligence falls into the hands of the enemy, and the enemy army is difficult to crack ......."
"Hmph, with my own skills, how can letters fall into the hands of the enemy? This fat old man, obviously trusting me, is really hateful. Dou Xiantong didn't wait for Li Xian to finish speaking, then stomped his feet and said hatefully.
Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, but he could only patiently explain: "This is not distrust, but the rules, in fact, I was just trying to say that I have passed information between Infernal Affairs, and in the future, I should also use secret means to set up secret words, except for my insiders, no one can identify, so that in case the information is intercepted, no one knows its true content." ”
"Hmph, this guy eats inside and out, his elbow turns outward, he doesn't help me, but he helps the fat old man." Dou Xiantong couldn't help but make trouble unreasonably when he heard this, but he also knew that what Li Xian said was reasonable, and vented a few words of "indignation", and said: "How can this girl have such a talent as a scholar, and make a Jiulong spit water to pass on the news?" If you let this girl do this, it is better to let this girl enter the palace and assassinate her...... Person. ”
Dou Xiantong originally wanted to say the words of assassinating Empress Wu, but when he saw Li Xian glaring at him fiercely, he realized that he was a little speechless, and hurriedly stopped the second half of the sentence, and then stuck out his tongue at Li Xian playfully.
saw Li Xian snort, and then said softly: "You can rest assured that I will do the secret language for you, but you need to keep it in mind, otherwise if you can't translate those secret words in the future, you will really be embarrassed and thrown home." ”
"That's natural, although this girl doesn't read much, her memory is okay, as long as time passes, I believe that she will be able to remember Er's secret words and ensure that she will not make a mistake." Dou Xiantong said proudly.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that you won't be so boastful at that time, and it will definitely make you want to cry without tears." Although Li Xian could predict the original ending, he didn't dare to say it, lest Dou Xiantong would stop doing it.
Li Ji's "Renchen Day" mentioned in the letter was actually three days later, Li Xian had already made sufficient preparations for this, and in order to ensure success, he also specially attacked a baggage camp fifty miles away, and as a result, Yuan Nan sent his cronies to lead more than 10,000 people to chase and beat him, this person is the tribesman of the famous Goguryeo general Ulzhi Wende, who has always been brave and wise, and is the person that Yuan Nanjian relies on the most. However, although the Eulzhi Mongol army moved quickly, it was not as fast as Li Xian's army, and when the army that was encircled and suppressed by it came after him, it was found that Li Xian's army was already thirty miles away, and at this time, Li Xian's army was only twenty miles away from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.
Ulzhi Meng was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately led a large army to pursue Li Xian's army, making sure to ensure that Pyongyang would not be broken by the Tang army, but when his army came to the city of Pyongyang, he found that it was quiet, and there was no sign of battle at all, so he thought about it silently, and immediately ordered the army to return to the Yalu River, because he had already thought that the Tang army was so desperate to deal with it, it was nothing more than to divert the tiger from the mountain, lead his own army away, and then attack Li Ji's main force on the back and back, so as to break through the Yalu River!
It's just a pity that when he came to his senses, it was already too late, because at this time, Li Xian's army was rushing to the bank of the Yalu River with a rapid march of one hundred and fifty miles in one night, and then rested for a while, and immediately launched an attack according to the agreement.
For the attack of Li Xian's army, Yuan Nanchan did not have any news in advance, because at this time, the spies who delivered the news had already been sniped by Li Xian's army, and the news that Quan Nanchan got before was that Li Xian's army had almost arrived under the city of Pyongyang, and with Pyongyang's strong city defense and the 20,000 army led by his brother Yuan Nanjian, plus more than 10,000 troops and horses under the command of his general Eji Meng, this Tang army would definitely be wiped out under the city.
But what he didn't expect was that just when he relaxed his vigilance against the Tang army behind him, he was startled by the sudden enemy attack.
"Marshal, there is an enemy attack, it looks like it should be the Tang Army, the banner is unknown, the number is unknown, but it looks like it should be the Li Xian army mentioned by General Yang."
"What do you mean? The enemy army has entered the camp, and this waste does not know the leading generals and numbers, and even dares to report to me? Come on, drag me out and cut it. ”
Upon hearing the news, he was furious and immediately ordered the spy to be executed, and at the same time ordered the army to quickly assemble and meet the enemy with him.
"My army has 50,000 people, even if Li Xian is here in person, what can I do? Pass on my general order, today must capture Li Xian alive, annihilate the enemy army, and eliminate the next trouble for the second brother. "Yuan Nanchan is not a person to be messed with, and now when he sees the enemy attacking, he is naturally not polite, and immediately orders to annihilate Li Xian's army.
And just after his army was assembled, and before he could set off, he heard the spies come to report the news: "Big marshal, it's not good, the Tang army on the other side of the river suddenly launched an attack, the brothers were caught off guard, and there were heavy casualties, did the big marshal order to defend it?" ”
"What do you mean? Damn, why did the Tang thief attack at this time? Could it be that he has something to do with Li Xian'er? Thinking of this, Yuan Nanchan couldn't help but shudder, and then immediately ordered: "Leave the front army to defend the camp, and the other battalions will fight back against Li Xian with the general, if you can capture Li Xian'er today, not only can you recover the decline, but also force the Southern Dynasty to return all the territories that invaded me, soldiers, now is the time of life and death, you must fight to the death, this marshal promises you, whoever captures Li Xian, the bounty is 10,000 taels, 100,000 cattle and sheep, 10,000 herdsmen, and promoted to general." ”
The order was quickly passed down, and the entire Goguryeo army was deeply shocked by the heavy reward of the Yuan Male Property, because such a fortune was so amazing, and the award of the rank of Great General meant that as long as the reward was honored, the person who made this great achievement would become the richest person in the entire Goguryeo, and at the same time, he would also become the existence second only to the Yuan Male Son in the army!
Such a reward was enough to make anyone crazy, so all the soldiers were red-eyed, and they all rushed towards Li Xian's army with a roar, and the momentum was extremely amazing, just as fast as a mountain and a sea.
Originally, at the beginning of the battle, he could also lead his knights to go back and forth in the enemy camp, and directly kill the nearby enemy soldiers on their backs, crying and shouting for their mothers, and the army collapsed, but soon the situation changed, groups of enemy troops attacked like a tide, and they were not only not afraid of his bravery, but like a hungry wolf who saw meat, they fought desperately forward, and the direction of their fight was exactly the same. That is to symbolize the direction of the boss, and they all shouted almost the same slogan: "Seize Li Xian, get promoted and make a fortune." ”
