In fact, those killers who assassinated Li Xian had already sworn a poisonous oath before the action, and they must not divulge the information of the mastermind, and now the killer named Liu Bing broke his oath, and there is no way to mix in the road in the future, so although Li Xian let him go, he no longer had a way to live, and he actually hit Li Xian's horizontal knife directly and committed suicide and died.

In fact, with Li Xian's skills, he was completely able to dodge, but Li Xian also knew that for a killer who did not succeed and exposed the identity of the mastermind, there was indeed no point in living, so he did not hide anymore and let the other party kill himself.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Li Xian didn't sleep all night, without the slightest tiredness, but energetically "inspecting the barracks", in fact, Li Xian did not have this authority at all, but he was willing to do it, of course, he did not do it in the name of patrolling the camp, but because he was not managed, so he was wandering around.

Of course, Li Xian's patrol camp actually has only one purpose, that is, to learn Guo Beifeng's means of building a barracks, and he would have learned every day, but today he unexpectedly discovered a phenomenon, which made him shocked: "The construction of the barracks has stopped!" ”

This is a half-finished barracks, although it can withstand the enemy's attack, but it will definitely not last long!

Others don't know how many enemy troops will attack here, but Li Xian is clear, because in history, there will be as many as 200,000 troops, although this is likely to be just a claim, in fact there are not so many, but 100,000 must be there, at least according to the intensity of the attack of this number of troops to build a camp, if it is a camp that can withstand the attack of 200,000 people, it is naturally the best.

However, with the current state of defense, I am afraid that 30,000 people will be able to attack and break through the barracks, and once the barracks are broken, all the heavy grain and grass will be destroyed, even if the soldiers can fight again, the Tang army can only retreat.

Therefore, Li Xian was very annoyed by this, and immediately went to Guo Beifeng's Chinese military tent and questioned him about the reason for the sudden halt in the construction of the barracks.

But he didn't expect Li Xian to be stopped outside the tent, and the guards knew his identity, but they didn't let him enter the tent, and they didn't even report it, under the pretext that Guo Beifeng was not in the tent.

Li Xianyan naturally didn't believe it, because Guo Beifeng's personal guards were guarding here, how could he not be there? I saw him sneer, and with a slight split of his hands forward, he separated the two guards, and then rushed directly into the tent.

Even though the two guards were angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to take Li Xian seriously, but if they put Li Xian in like this, it would be a dereliction of duty, and they would definitely be punished by Guo Beifeng when they turned around, so they had no choice but to follow in, pull out their horizontal knives, and make it look like they were going to attack.

However, Li Xian didn't pay attention to the two guards at all, but his eyes were staring at Guo Zhifeng, who was playing with jade, with a solemn face and a dignified gaze.

This Guo Beifeng does have some ability, but it is much worse than his father Guo Xiaoke, and he has not inherited much of Guo Xiaoke's advantages, but this style of liking to treasure and live a luxurious life has been inherited, not only inherited, but even surpassed.

Although he relied on his qualifications and ability, Li Xian was the emperor's concubine after all, and he nominally belonged to the top leadership of the local military and government, and he had a certain amount of supervision power over the troops stationed in the imperial court, plus he himself was really not doing anything serious now, so when he saw Li Xian suddenly appear in front of him, his face was still a little unnatural.

"Zhou, King Zhou, although you are the prince, it is unreasonable to break into my military tent without permission, I look at the face of His Majesty and the queen, and I don't care about you, so you can leave." Guo Beifeng had no other way but to use his "magnanimity" to block Li Xian's mouth, hoping that he would leave with interest.

But how could Li Xian be someone who could be easily sent away? Besides, he came here for a purpose, and now that the purpose has not been achieved, how can he leave like this?

Therefore, I saw Li Xian say coldly: "General Guo, you are extravagant and corrupt, this king can ignore this, but why did you order the construction of the camp to be stopped?" Do you know the consequences of doing so? In the event of a large-scale attack by the enemy, our army will definitely be breached because the camp is not defended, and if the camp is broken, it will be difficult to keep the grain, grass, and baggage. At that time, will you bear the responsibility for the defeat of our army? ”

"Hehe, it turns out that the king is looking for the last general for this matter, in fact, this is all blamed on the last general did not explain in advance, according to the report of the spies, General Xue has encountered the Tubo army yesterday, the mouth of the river, the Tubo rout, the loss of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, we should also set off quickly, go to meet General Xue, a total of Wuhai, seize the opportunity, this opportunity is rare, must not be lost, the king also needs to prepare early, so as not to panic temporarily, too late to pack luggage."

Guo Beifeng didn't have the slightest fluster, and calmly explained the reason to Li Xian, but Li Xian gasped after hearing it, because what he was most worried about was about to happen!

Although what Guo Zhifeng said sounded good, the actual reason why he led the army forward was that he wanted to compete with Xue Rengui, so he openly disobeyed Xue Rengui's order and led the army out in advance.

But Guo Beifeng didn't know that when he went on this expedition, he was besieged by the enemy's main force, which led to the loss of all the grain and grass baggage, and Xue Rengui was forced to retreat, which led to the complete defeat of the entire battle, resulting in Tuyuhun being completely annexed by Tubo, and the four towns of Anxi completely lost, making Tubo a military power that could compete with the Tang Dynasty!

Guo Beifeng didn't know what was about to happen, but Li Xian knew it clearly, the reason why he wanted to come here by all means was precisely for this purpose, so how could he allow things to happen like they were?

Therefore, Li Xian immediately said loudly: "This matter is not proper, we can't give up the current camp and move forward easily, now General Xue has not captured Wuhai, the Tubo army is in the process of assembling, as long as General Xue captures Wuhai, Wuhai will definitely become the key place for Tubo to fight, and the enemy's main general Garqinling is also unusual, will definitely send a large army to cut off my grain route, so that our army will encounter a crazy attack of superior forces, if our army is defended by danger, there is a chance of victory, but if it is a surprise attack during the march, Should our army protect food or defend against the enemy? ”

Guo Zhifeng laughed and said: "The king doesn't know the soldiers at all, it is precisely because General Xue will be besieged by the enemy after attacking the city, we should send troops immediately, and when we come to Wuhai City, it is estimated that the enemy army is just attacking the city, then we only need to attack the enemy from behind, General Xue will cooperate with our army, and the belly and back will be able to break the enemy, if we are besieged by the Tubo army, I don't know when we can break through?" And if General Xue is besieged by the enemy's heavy troops and cannot retreat from the enemy for a long time, how to solve the supply problem? At that time, it was time of defeat. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he felt that what Guo Beifeng said was not unreasonable, but he knew another problem, which he also discovered in the course of his continuous "patrol camp" in the past few days.

I saw Li Xian hehe sneered: "Although what General Guo said is reasonable, but it is on paper, from Dafeichuan to Wuhai for nearly 200 miles, and most of them are mountain roads, our army escorts, all of them are heavy grain and grass, and the terrain here is high, it is difficult to breathe, if the soldiers escort the grain and grass forward, their physical strength will be difficult to support, how far can they go in one day?" This king believes that at this speed, it will take at least half a month from Dafeichuan to Wuhai, and Hugh said that it is half a month, that is, ten days is enough for Garqinling to react, lead the army to intercept our army and launch a siege, when it comes, what is the general's strategy to break the enemy? ”

"Hehe, what's the solution? It's just improvisation, the so-called impermanence of soldiers, impermanence of water, we only need soldiers to block the water to cover the earth, what is there to worry about? ”

"Hmph, the so-called improvisation, but there is no way." When Li Xian saw Guo Zhifeng say this, he was immediately furious in his heart, and said sharply: "General Guo, General Xue had an agreement with you at the beginning, and when the soldiers were there, he would naturally send someone to inform him. ”

How do you know that Guo Zhifeng was also furious when he heard this, stood up, and shouted: "Since the imperial court has sent me as the deputy chief administrator, and the chief administrator is not here, it is naturally up to me to have the final say, although the identity of the king is respected, then the Son of Heaven is here, and he must abide by the rules of the army. I still have important things to do, so please take care of it, my lord. ”

But the battle Li Xian has seen is much bigger than Guo Beifeng, where will he be refuted by these few words? Immediately snorted coldly: "You alone?" Do you know how many soldiers will have hatred for the battlefield if they lose this battle? Do you know that if you lose this battle, Tuyuhun will forever become history? Do you know that once this battle is lost, the four towns of Anxi will fall under the iron heel of the Tubo army, and the prestige of our Tang Kingdom will be damaged, and the west will be unstable from now on, and the capital will also be threatened? Can you afford to have ten more lives? ”

"Hmph, Ben will ......"

Guo Zhifeng just wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Li Xian: "This king knows what you want to do?" Hmph, it's nothing more than seeing General Xue as the general manager, you are ashamed to be under it, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and violating moderation many times, the reason why you arbitrarily sent troops to the expedition this time is nothing more than to want to compete with General Xue, what this king said is right? However, this also just shows that you are inferior to General Xue, so it is indeed prescient that the imperial court will not let you be the chief administrator. ”

"Ah...... What do you say? How dare you talk to me like that, you hairy boy? Today I will kill you. Guo Zhifeng was poked in the sore spot, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he pulled out his horizontal knife and slashed at Li Xian's front door, preparing to kill Li Xian, so as to let out the evil anger in his chest.
