The execution of the merchant army is good, Zishou did not command the army at all, and from the very beginning, he handed over the command to Ao Lie, so the first time he fell and shouted, Ao Lie did not drag the mud and water at all, and directly led the army to retreat quickly.

The soldiers of the three armies have heard the words "Ji Fa harms me", the king of Xuan does not know the life and death, the people's hearts are unstable, if they are forced to fight, they will definitely be defeated.

And Zishou knew very well that although the courtiers in the court had a lot of misunderstandings about him, they didn't say anything about loyalty, and they would definitely put his safety first.

After a short time, the army returned to the camp, and Lu Xiong in the camp on the other side heard about it and hurriedly rushed over.

Lu Xiong thought that the king was leading a large army to test, after all, after a few days of cruel words, the ridicule was already full, and he could almost tackle the problem, but he didn't expect that the king would be plotted against when he met with Ji Fa, and he fell unconscious, and his heart became a pot of porridge.

At this time, Zishou was in a state of coma with his eyes closed, but he looked full of energy, his face was ruddy, and there was almost no pain.

Lu Xiong's face was different, it seemed... It's a place of deep sleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Lu Xiong tentatively shouted a few words, maybe it was loyalty to move the world, or shouting too loudly to wake people up, in general, one of the people who had been "unconscious" and unconscious, opened his eyes in Lu Xiong's shouting.

Zishou slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth to yawn, and suddenly realized that he was pretending to be killed, and forcibly held back the yawn, so that some tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

He pretended to be dazed, looked around, and finally landed his gaze on Lu Xiong.

"Old general, why are you here? Didn't I lead the army to go out and listen to the truth with Ji Fa for a while?

The son was supported on his forehead, and he seemed to have a splitting headache.

"Your Majesty!

The guards on the left and right of the guards hurriedly stepped forward, and Zishou gently pushed his hand, signaling them to step back, hissing and saying, "What the hell is going on?"

Lu Xiong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the last general was originally stationed in the camp, but I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated by a villain in front of the battle and fell unconscious, so I came to inquire about ......"

Before Lu Xiong finished speaking, he saw Zishou suddenly cough violently.

"I remember! Ji Fa! Ji Fa hurt me!"

The cough was very loud, it seemed a little contrived, and it was a dry cough, not coughing up anything, and Zishou was still so red that he couldn't see any sickness.

Lu Xiong couldn't help but feel nervous, the symptoms were not obvious, it was not an ordinary wind chill, like this, I was afraid that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty..."

Zishou raised his hand to block Lu Xiong's words, and said: "The old general doesn't have to be anxious, my body, I know, the westward expedition..."

Lu Xiong's expression was anxious: "Your Majesty is sick, please recuperate first, and the matter of the western expedition can be handed over to the old minister." ”

Zishou shook his head: "It's not proper, now that I'm unwell, I can barely speak, I think about it, this is not an ordinary illness, it's mostly Taoism." ”

"Dao technique?" Lu Xiong's eyes widened, he knew that there were cultivators in the Zhou army, but these people didn't make a move, and they didn't use too unbelievable methods, so they couldn't understand it yet.

Zishou explained: "Exactly, I heard that when Ji sent an expedition to the east, he had allied with the princes of the West, and Ding Hou was unwilling, so Jiang Ziya drew Ding Hou on the yellow paper and shot three arrows, so Ding Hou fell ill, Ding Hou made people divination, and found that it was done by the Zhou people, and he was afraid in his heart, so he sent a messenger to tell Ji Fa, willing to make the whole country a vassal, Jiang Ziya then pulled out his arrows, the envoy resigned, Ding Hou was cured, and the rest of the Western Road princes heard about it, and they followed..."

In fact, this is the record of Taigong Jinkui, and it is also the prototype of the famous nail head Seven Arrows Book, Zishou made it up casually, the purpose is to make his illness look mysterious, and he must be seen by ordinary doctors, and he can play with his acting skills, which is also the reason why he deliberately went to Ji Fa, after all, no one can confront Ji Fa, even if Ji Fa says that he didn't do anything, no one believes it!

Lu Xiong slowed down for a moment, and after digesting the information in this sentence, he said: "Ji Fa will meet the princes of the West Road, the old minister has also heard that the Zhou army has been stationed in Qishan for a long time, and the march is slow, which also has the meaning of deterring these princes, I didn't expect that there is such a thing, if Your Majesty is really in this witchcraft, I am afraid that I have to send a fast horse to Wen Taishi, think of a way..."

"Master Wen...."Zishou suddenly wanted to think about Uncle Wen, he felt that the most correct thing to do was to drag Uncle Wen in the south, if Master Wen was still in the court, which round to get Lu Xiong, the old man had to go to the army in person, until he got himself on the god list.

"Don't bother the Taishi, the national teacher is on the way, and he will arrive soon. ”

Estimating the time, Shen Gongbao is almost here, this guy must be able to cooperate with himself, Zishou paused, and said: "It is imperative to ask the old general to take charge of the army on my behalf, and I must not be known by the soldiers about the Taoist arts, if not, I am afraid that the western expedition will not be sustainable." ”

"Yes. ”

Lu Xiong nodded lightly, he knew the seriousness of the matter, he had not yet started to fight, if it was spread, people would be panicked, no matter how many troops they had, they would not be able to form an effective combat force.

Looking at Lu Xiong's back as he walked out of the camp, Zishou smiled slightly.

His abacus played very well, rumors, especially when it comes to unknown things like Taoism, the more they cover it, the more they can't hide it, besides, the whole army knows that he was killed, but no one knows how he was killed, driven by curiosity, there must be a lot of people talking about it.

Even if Lu Xiong locks the news tightly, it's useless, there are internal ghosts!

As long as Zishou casually says a few words when the guards are on shift, or through the mouths of which dancing girls and music girls, and then let Shen Gongbao fool for a while, he can easily ferment and expand the incident, and the soldiers will inevitably be afraid, and then they can justifiably retreat to the Cloud Pass, and they are not afraid that Lu Xiong and others are unwilling, no matter how unwilling, they can only compromise, and their morale is low, so they can only retreat.

Ao Lie came up to Lu Xiong when he was preparing to reorganize the army and asked, "Does the old general think that Your Majesty's illness is a little strange?"

"Weird?" Lu Xiong was stunned, frowned and said: "It's really weird, Your Majesty's illness is extraordinary, it is done by the cultivators in the Zhou camp, for today's plan, I can only try my best to hide the news and show the wind and cold to the outside world, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." ”

Ao Lie rubbed his chin and muttered, "No, who dares to make a move on Your Majesty?"

He is knowledgeable, not easy to fool, Ao Lie knows that even if he is a saint, he will not easily attack the king of Zhou, this kind of karmic karma is by no means something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

"What?"

Ao Lie bowed his head slightly: "Old general, do you think Your Majesty will be.... Fake sickness?"

"Pretending to be sick?" Lu Xiong stared at Ao Lie tightly and said, "Why did General Li say this?"

"This ......"

Cause and effect karma can't be explained for a while, and mortals are not suitable to know, Ao Lie thought about it and decided to start from the other side, it is impossible for a cultivator to make a move on the king of the Tao, there is only one possibility left to pretend to be sick, so why should the king pretend to be sick?

"Old general, will Your Majesty lure the enemy by pretending to be sick? The Bishui Pass is difficult to attack, and the best way at the moment is to lure the Zhou army out of the Pass, Your Majesty must know this. ”

"Lure the enemy?" Lu Xiong shook his head and interrupted Ao Lie's words, and said: "If it is to lure the enemy, it is too simple, not to mention Ji Fa and Nangong Shi, even the ordinary generals of the Zhou army also understand that the two large battalions of our army are each other's horns, and they are impregnable, and the gains of the strong attack outweigh the losses, they only need to hold the Bishui Pass and wait for the army to come, and they can't attack." ”

"On the contrary, our army, the westward expedition is unfavorable and inferior, and we must achieve results as soon as possible in order to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"Besides, Your Majesty happened in front of the two armies, is it true or not, can the Zhou army not know?"

Lu Xiong asked a few questions in a row, which made Ao Lie fall into thinking again, and after a while, he still stubbornly said: "I still think there are some problems, Your Majesty must have some arrangements, in addition to stabilizing the morale of the army, you must also pay more attention to Your Majesty's actions in the future, so as not to make mistakes." ”

"It's fine. ”
