But it was said that Li Ji was sitting in the big tent at this time and worried, because of his negligence, let that Yuan Wanqing Xie Yuwen, but unexpectedly reminded Yuan Nanjian, causing the Goguryeo army to gather on the other side of the Yalu River, blocking the way for the army to advance, although he was the god of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing to be done for a while.

"It seems that only by waiting for February of the following year, after the river thaws, our army can use the advantage of cavalry to cross the river and confront the enemy, but I don't know if the king of Zhou can hold out until that .......time."

Although it was late at night, he immediately did not feel sleepy, sat in the handsome tent, and sighed secretly.

At this moment, he saw that the tent was opened, and a personal guard came to him and respectfully reported: "Chief Administrator, King Zhou has come to visit." ”

"Huh? King Zhou? What is he doing at this time? As the real principal in the army, Li Ji naturally knew that the so-called "King of Zhou" was an impostor, and it was under his instruction and acquiescence that Dou Xiantong was able to use the disguise technique to pretend to be Li Xian, of course, Dou Xiantong did not reveal her real disguise technique, and she just played a role that looked a little like Li Xian, so Li Ji just thought that there were people under Li Xian who happened to be like him.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ji "locked" this "Li Xian" in the big tent in the name of Li Xian's need for protection, and never let him meet with the generals easily, unless he was ordered to show up when he had to do so, and even if he appeared, it was cleverly arranged, so that people could only see his form and not hear his voice, until later, "Li Xian" secretly found Li Ji and proposed to inspect the military camp once a day as Li Xian, otherwise he would not do it, Li Ji was in a hurry to obey the power, so he had to agree, but he only promised her to inspect once every three days, and the time is chosen in the middle of the night, which is why Dou Xiantong bumped into Li Yue, otherwise Li Yue may be difficult to complete the task smoothly today, and he will also incur disaster.

And after he was coerced by that fake Li Xian, Li Ji didn't have a good impression of him, and when he saw that he suddenly wanted to see him today, he thought he was going to make some more requests, so he frowned and asked Fang Cai's words. However, after all, the other party still asked to see him in name as Li Xian, but it was difficult for him to refuse, so although he was unhappy, Li Ji still ordered him to come in.

But he saw that the "King of Zhou" opened the tent and came to Li Ji, and after Li Ji repulsed him, he said with a smile: "Report to the chief manager of good news, the real King Zhou is coming, and the last general will no longer have to pretend." ”

"Huh? What do you say? Li Ji couldn't help but be shocked when he heard what the other party said, as soon as he took a sip of the brewed tea, he squirted out, and then stared at Dou Xiantong and asked in a lost voice.

"Hehe, the real Zhou Wangxian is coming back, this is his personal guard, he was ordered to write to the chief manager, but there was a conflict with the guards of the camp, fortunately, the last general met when he patrolled the camp and brought it, for specific details, the chief manager only needs to ask this person."

Dou Xiantong pointed to Li Yue, who was standing respectfully on the side, and said with a faint smile.

"Oh, you say that you are an envoy sent by the king of Zhou? What are the credentials? Where is King Zhou now? Why did you come to write the book? Let's be honest. If there is half a lie, I will not let you die a good death. Li Ji suddenly heard the news, because he was so excited, even his hands were trembling, it can be seen how much he cares about Li Xian's news?

I saw Li Yue and said respectfully: "The last general's name is Li Yue, and he is the third team of the second battalion of the palace of King Xian of Zhou. ”

Li Yue said as he untied the fish talisman from his waist and respectfully sent it to Li Ji's hands.

Li Ji stroked the fish talisman with his hand, looked at it in the dim light for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is the king's fish talisman, it seems that Er is really the king's curse, sit down and say." ”

Li Ji saw the fish talisman, his mood was really much better, his face was rarely gentle, he pointed to the mat beside him, and actually asked Li Yue to sit down, this is a courtesy that even Dou Xiantong has never received, so even Du Xiantong can't help but feel jealous, of course, Dou Xiantong's jealousy is just thinking about it, in front of Li Ji, she doesn't dare to let go.

Li Yue was naturally even more flattered, and hurriedly thanked Li Ji, then sat down gently, and said to Li Ji: "Chief Administrator Qiqi, now the king of my family is in the hinterland of Goguryeo, about fifty miles away from here. Here's the thing, in order to protect the new city, the king chased the enemy's main commander and killed him, but he got lost......"

After that, Li Yue told Li Ji in detail about Li Xian's journey from getting lost to defeating Yang Siqi.

When he heard the news of Cheng Yanjin's death, Li Ji couldn't help but burst into tears, and praised Cheng Yanjin for being good and not embarrassing the old brothers, and then when he heard that Li Xianqiao burned Yang Siqi with a trick, he couldn't help but be surprised, and joyfully praised Li Xian for being bold and careful, full of wisdom, and already having the style of a famous general.

And after hearing all this, Li Ji thought silently for a moment, and then asked: "The reason why the king sent you here is not to invite our army to attack the spring boy?" ”

Li Yue saw that Li Ji guessed the same thing without reading the content of the letter, and couldn't help but admire, and hurriedly said: "The chief manager is like a god, and the last general will admire it, and he will not hide it from the chief manager, the king's intention is exactly like this, and I hope that the chief manager will give a quasi-letter, and the king of my family is waiting for the news that the chief manager will send troops." ”

Seeing Li Ji nodded and said: "This is indeed a wonderful opportunity for our army to go on the expedition, but what should be done about the king of Zhou?" If King Zhou leads his troops to win, after the soldiers understand the twists and turns, what should this Dou Zhuang man do? We need to think of a good strategy, and we must not let the king of Zhou be faked by Dou Zhuangshi to spread the word, otherwise Dou Zhuangshi may have great worries. ”

Dou Xiantong doesn't care about this matter, he doesn't understand these anyway, and believes that Li Xian will definitely protect him, but Li Yue knows that this matter is really difficult to do, once it is not handled well, Dou Xiantong will really have a lot of trouble, and even countless people will find a way to catch her, and then use her to pretend to be Li Xian, or ruin her reputation, or frame her, when the time comes, it will definitely be a lot of trouble for Li Xian, and it is not impossible to even cause disaster.

So Li Yue's face changed, and he begged Li Ji: "Ask the chief manager to find a way to save this Dou Zhuang, this person is the confidant of the king of my family, if he can be saved, the king of my family will also remember the favor of the chief manager." ”

Li Ji naturally knew that Dou Xiantong was Li Xian's strong help, so he also wanted to protect this person for Li Xian, but after thinking about it, it was difficult to have a perfect solution, so he couldn't help but sigh softly, shook his head and said, "It's difficult." ”

But I heard Dou Xiantong suddenly say: "There will be a plan in the end, which may allow me to escape this catastrophe." ”

"Oh? I wonder what the strong man has planned? Li Ji was shocked when he heard this, and asked.

I saw Dou Xiantong laughing slowly: "Actually, this matter is not very difficult, as long as the chief manager finds an excuse to order the last general to go out of the camp to join the King of Zhou, who will suspect that the current King of Zhou is pretending to be Ye?" ”

"But in this way, wouldn't the supreme meritorious service of King Zhou be wiped out? At the very least, the meritorious deeds made before today will be handed over to others. According to the old man's rough estimate, the meritorious deeds made by the king during this period of time are enough for him to win hundreds of more food estates, and his reputation is enough to rise again, and it is not difficult to be listed among the world's famous generals. Li Ji still felt a little sorry for Li Xian's achievements, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

But he heard Dou Xiantong smile and said: "The chief manager of this matter doesn't have to worry at all, with the current title of King Zhou, no matter how much he is promoted, there will be no promotion, and hundreds of restaurants are just icing on the cake for him, and there is no practical significance, but it will cause dissatisfaction among other princes, which is not good for King Zhou." What's more, if the king of Zhou gives his military merit to his subordinates, it will only make his subordinates grateful to the king of Zhou, so they will be more loyal to him, and this is the most beneficial to the king of Zhou. ”

Li Ji didn't expect Dou Xiantong to think of this, and he could hear from her words that this person was Li Xian's absolute confidant, and he already knew that Li Xian had a lot of ambitions, and could plan the best plan for it, and couldn't help but admire: "You think about the long term, I really didn't expect you to have such a mind, it's a pity if you die, since that's the case, then let's do what you say, tonight I will send you out of the camp, go to the king, and let the king have a few more henchmen to protect, as for the excuse?" It is to ask King Zhou to secretly greet the subordinates who were lost in Xincheng at the beginning, and carry out the secret plan, I don't know what Dou Zhuangshi thinks? ”

Hearing this, Dou Xiantong immediately nodded and said: "This is reasonable, I don't think anyone will suspect this matter, but after I go back, I will definitely persuade the king to inform the people of the Yan Ya tribe, don't publicize the matter of the king of Zhou leading the troops everywhere, so as not to be found out by people with a heart and embarrassed by the king." ”

Li Ji naturally knew who she was actually referring to, but he didn't say anything, but nodded and said: "Don't worry too much about this matter, after all, paper can't hold the fire, the name of the king's bravery has spread all over the army, even if there is no meritorious service, it will be feared in the future, and if this matter is publicized, the prestige of the king is not only higher, but there is nothing wrong with it, and it may be beneficial to the king at a critical moment, but it will involve the investigation of the person who pretends to be the king of Zhou, In fact, as long as you leave here, and the old man shirks and doesn't know, who else can know about this? In the end, the investigation of this case can only be stopped. ”

Dou Xiantong listened to Li Ji's words, his heart suddenly brightened, and he said solemnly: "I am well taught, thank you Li Gong for your advice, there is one more thing, Zhang Wuchen, the guard next to the king, is loyal and strong in martial arts, I hope to go with the last general, and I can also protect the safety of King Zhou." ”

"This matter is easy to hear, and it is necessary to let it go. Hehe, the two strong men will wait for the old man to reply. Li Ji first opened Li Xian's letter and looked at it, and saw that the letter only wrote the words "majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then wrote a few words "Jiulong spits water, benefit in Sanjing", and then handed it to Dou Xiantong, and summoned Zhang Wuchen to send him out of the camp.
