"Gong Li, is this true?" Liu Xiangdao listened to Hou Shanye's words, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, so he turned his head and asked Li Ji.

I saw Li Ji nodded and said: "It's really good, at the beginning, my unfilial grandson Jingye was next to King Zhou, when Jingye and Li Zhan, the son of Li Yifu, were chanting poems in the restaurant for fun. The wine can be used for many months, and the clouds are floating outside the body. The white night is full of bells, and the wind is clear and clear. Sitting with the rest of the fun, it seems that he has not left the group. In fact, the literary style of this poem is also not good, how can this mad mouth out wild words, causing the king of Zhou to be dissatisfied, so he compared the poem with it, the madman saw that the king of Zhou was young, and asked the king of Zhou to only win the dedication, etc., so the king of Zhou occupied the grass on the plain, and worshiped wildly, but retreated. ”

"It turns out that there is such a reason for this matter, but I don't know if the mad creature can leave a name? Where is it now? Liu Xiangdao was immediately interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"This person's name is Du Xunyan, his ancestral home is Xiangyang, and he later moved to Gong County, it is said that after the Jin Zhengnan general Du Pre, he participated in the imperial examination all times, but because of the obstruction of Li Yifu and other powerful ministers, he failed to win the election many times, as for where he is now, Li is not clear." Li Ji stroked the long hair under his chin and sighed softly.

"Alas, with Li Sikong testifying, the lower officials don't dare to disbelieve that King Zhou has great talent, but does Li Sikong think that King Zhou is worthy of the poem of the battle against Goguryeo?" Liu Xiangdao has no choice but to use Li Ji's mouth to deny Li Xian.

But I heard Li Ji say: "How dare Li comment on this matter? There is His Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen. ”

With Li Ji's old spicyness, he naturally won't recommend anyone clearly, but he doesn't need to say it at all now, everyone understands one thing very well, Li Xian, who can have such talent, can of course be easily competent for the responsibility of appeasement, and as for Wu Liu, everyone can compare each other's physical fitness.

What's more, Li Ji also knows who Empress Wu will be in his heart, with the relationship between Li Xian and Empress Wu, Empress Wu will not agree to let him go unless he is crazy, and Gaozong's cowardly temperament has always been a wife in major affairs.

Therefore, as soon as Li Ji finished saying this, it actually meant that today's things were a foregone conclusion, that is, the final winner would definitely be Li Xian, the king of Zhou.

Sure enough, after a whispered discussion between Empress Wu and Gaozong, finally Gaozong decided: "With Zhou Wangxian as the general of the right Wuwei and the general of the Liaodong Road march, I will go to Goguryeo on behalf of me, and take the British Gong and Sikong Li Ji as the deputy general manager and chief historian of the Liaodong Road March, and the governor of the Liaodong Wars, and take Silie Taichang Bo Hao Chujun as the head of the Liaodong Road march, and also ordered Dugu Qingyun to be from Yalu Road, Guo Zhifeng from Jili Road, Liu Ren is willing to attack from Bilie Road, and Jin Zhiwen is from Haigu Road to launch an attack together, and is the head of the march, all of which are subject to Li Jijiedu; At the same time, grain and grass were raised from Yan, Zhao and other places to fund Liaodong. ”

The Zhulu army, together with the general Pang Tongshan of Zuo Jinwu, the head of the march of Liaodong Province, and Gao Kan, the governor of Yingzhou, as well as the army of Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Li Jinxing, the general of the left prison guard, who were the support of the army of Qibi He Li, totaled 150,000 troops.

In December of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozong's edict finally reached the Zhou Palace, although the content of the edict had been guessed almost, but after really seeing the content, he couldn't help but sigh, the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial Marching Army should have been the commander-in-chief of the entire war, but to him it became a nominal position, although he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to capture Goguryeo with his current empty theory, and it was far worse than Emperor Yang of Sui who conquered Goguryeo. But getting such an ending is really not what he wants, he really hopes to only give himself a real power military position such as a captain or brigade commander, lead his subordinates to fight bloodily, and really sharpen his will on the battlefield. I believe that even this result is more satisfactory than the current situation.

However, Li Xian also knew that if he had the opportunity to participate in this war, it was already Li Ji and Empress Wu who gave him enough face, and if he was so dissatisfied, he really couldn't stand Li Ji's recommender.

"Even so, I must also find a way to participate in a big war, otherwise won't Goguryeo go in vain this time? Hehe, I believe that in this big war with hundreds of thousands of participants, the soldiers are so complicated, and the situation is also changeable, as long as I have the heart, there will always be a time when I will find an opportunity. ”

Li Xian was an adventurous guy in his previous life, and he will naturally not settle down in this life, now that he is going to the battlefield, if he doesn't fight a good battle and have a good time, is it still his character?

"Hmph, don't think that fighting is fun, this is a fatal thing, especially as a military commander, a thought can decide the victory or defeat of the whole army, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives, you must not act cautiously, although you are not a real commander, but after all, you are nominally the highest commander, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, I see that Er's eyes are flashing, his face is red and his ears are hot, and his fists are clenched, is it not a bad thought? Hmph, I warn Yu Er that this campaign is not allowed to act indiscriminately, in order to prevent you from listening to advice and causing trouble indiscriminately, I must go with you in this campaign and supervise it at any time. ”

In a secret mansion not far behind the palace, Dou Xiantong saw Li Xian's expression when he talked about this expedition to Liaodong, and immediately guessed his intentions.

"Huh? This, that's not good. First of all, Er is a woman, and it is not allowed to hide women privately in the army, in case of leakage, even this king will be punished, this second, you still have things to do, this king has handed over the most critical Infernal Affairs and snake spirit organizations to you, if you don't do it well, this king's efforts for so many years will be in vain. Li Xian was naturally reluctant to let such a woman who controlled herself everywhere follow, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to live the addiction of war as he wanted on the battlefield, so he almost didn't hesitate and immediately made an excuse to deny it.

As everyone knows, Dou Xiantong is also a strong-willed person, and he is also indomitable, when he retorted: "Regarding the fact that I am a woman, you can rest assured, I have the art of disguise, and I can definitely easily pretend to be a soldier, Hugh said that it was someone else, even if you can't see the flaws, not to mention, what about women?" Can't you go to war? Didn't the Er Li clan have the women's army of Princess Pingyang at the beginning? Hmph, when should this machismo be changed? This second point does not need to worry about you, after a few months of rectification, I have successfully integrated the Infernal Affairs, and infiltrated the snake spirit organization to form an espionage organization that integrates espionage and assassination, as for the normal order of the organization, there is a personal promotion of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' organization to operate, unless something big happens, I don't have to worry about it at all, and like today's big thing, in addition to your safety, what else is there? ”

Li Xian saw that Dou Xiantong had played the old trick again, and he didn't want to be unforgiving to himself, so he had to give in helplessly, sighed and said, "That's it, I know that I will definitely not be able to resist you in the end, so let you go to Liaodong with me, but there is one thing to remember, after you arrive in Liaodong, you must listen to my orders, and you must not expose your identity at will, otherwise, I would rather die than obey." ”

"Hehe, that's natural, after arriving in Liaodong, Er is the prince of the dignified palace, the general of the right military guard, and the general of the march of Liaodong Road, Er Xiao is just an ordinary sergeant, how dare he disobey orders? I'm afraid that at that time, the king only needed one look, and the villain's head was hung on the gate. Seeing that Li Xian agreed, Dou Xiantong naturally smiled and readily agreed to Li Xian's conditions.

After a slight pause, Dou Xiantong remembered one more thing, and then arched his hand, looking serious, and said to Li Xian: "Except for the villain, isn't the king going to pull all the guards in the palace out to practice?" Hee-hee, the villain has heard that the king is willing to give generously and generously on weekdays, and the palace guards are all willing to serve the dead, isn't the king ready to train these guards into an elite army? If such a person is promoted to the rank of general with the power of the king, what difference will he have from the king's personal family in the future? ”

"Hehe, the parents of the one who gave birth to me, the fairy child who knows me, your words are exactly what I want, I originally planned to do so, one is to train the palace guards to become the elite of the world, and the second is naturally to hope that they will make meritorious contributions in the future, in case something happens in the world, it is also my help." Li Xian smiled faintly, and did not hide it, so he said his plan: "In addition, there is still a small work lurking next to me, just like a bone in the throat, which makes people uncomfortable, and I also decided to take this opportunity to eradicate it, which can be regarded as a disaster." ”

"I really can't imagine that you are also ruthless, but this matter is also a matter of course, this person is extremely alert, and there are many constraints on us, if you don't take this opportunity to get rid of it, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to do it in the future, but that evil woman may be difficult to hide, you have to plan early."

"Hehe, I have already planned this matter", after listening to what Dou Xiantong said, Li Xian smiled faintly: "He is only suspicious, it is definitely difficult to grasp the evidence, there is no such person to report in the future, I believe it is even more difficult to find out my flaws, hehe, it is worth it in exchange for my safety for several years with a trace of doubt." ”

"This guy is really cunning, even the biological mother can be so calculated, it is estimated that as your biological mother, the evil woman is unlucky enough." Looking at someone's triumphant appearance, Dou Xiantong couldn't help but sneer and mocked.

But Li Xian didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I don't know who has a deep hatred with my mother, and today I actually sympathize with him, it's really a strange thing." ”
