"Your Majesty, we have received the news a long time ago. In today's battle, the Khitan king sent 30,000 Khitan iron horsemen. was ready to take Youzhou City in a battle, but unfortunately as soon as he reached the bottom of the city wall, he had already lost more than 10,000 people. A military general of the Xi State stood up and said to King Xi.

"Didn't Changsun Xiang say in the letter that King Yan had an army of more than 100,000 in Youzhou City. Now he has been taken away by Fan Yanglu's family for more than 100,000 yuan. Moreover, the most elite Iron Guard Forbidden Army of King Yan is now also across the river from Fanyang Lu's family on the bank of the Yalu River. ”

"So according to this calculation, the defenders in Youzhou City will definitely not exceed 20,000 now. And they are all new recruits, who have not really been on the battlefield. Why is it all of a sudden, it's 200,000? King Xi asked puzzled.

"Since His Royal Highness King Yan wants to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can there be no foundation? If it is easy, it will be figured out by His Royal Highness the Prince. I'm afraid that at this time, His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't know what the fate is. Xu Liang said with a smile.

"I see, then I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan will do next. And this king will cooperate with him. King Xi nodded in surprise and said to Xu Liang.

"If the minister is not mistaken, tonight, the Khitan king must have sent someone to steal the camp and rob the village. Therefore, King Xi can secretly evacuate the camp, and then use the cover of night to surround the Khitan camp. ”

"If the Khitan king didn't, send troops to attack King Xi's camp at night. Then tomorrow before dawn, King Xi will withdraw to the camp again. If he sends someone to attack King Xi at night, then King Xi can take advantage of the emptiness in his camp to come to an anti-guest. Xu Liang said to King Xi.

"The two armies are not far apart, even if we take advantage of their emptiness to attack. The Khitan cavalry who came out to attack the king can also quickly return to help, and the king may be attacked by the enemy at that time. King Xi shook his head and said.

"Please rest assured, King Xi will ask His Royal Highness King Yan to send people from the north gate when the time comes. The Khitan iron cavalry that attacked King Xi's camp was all trapped in the camp. Xu Liang said to King Xi.

"In that case, then tonight, the king will do as you say. If you let this king know, King Yan is deceiving this king. At that time, even if this king exerts all the strength of the whole country, he will definitely die with him. King Xi said to Xu Liang.

"King Xi can rest assured, what His Royal Highness King Yan needs now is an ally, not a strong enemy who makes him uneasy in the rear." Xu Liang said to King Xi with a smile.

"In that case, then ask General Xu to go back to Youzhou City and tell King Yan what this king wants. Let him not forget to send troops out of the city to assist the king. King Xi nodded and said.

"It's better for King Xi to write a letter, so that the minister can bring it back and hand it over to His Royal Highness King Yan. It can also show King Xi's sincerity in forming an offensive and defensive alliance this time. Xu Liang said to King Xi.

Subsequently, King Xi ordered someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter directly to Li Tai. Then it was handed over to Xu Liang and brought into Youzhou.

After Xu Liang left with the letter, King Xi began to prepare for the night attack on the camp of the Khitan King tonight.

……

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Xu Liang's military division is back." The guards came to the main hall of the Youzhou Assassin Mansion and said to Li Tai.

Hearing that Xu Liang was back, Li Tai's hanging heart finally let go of half of it. So he immediately ordered someone to invite Xu Liang into the main hall.

After a short time, Xu Liang came to the main hall, first saluted Li Tai, and then said: "Lord, Xu Liang, I live up to the expectations of the lord." Now that he has successfully persuaded King Xi to send troops to attack the Khitan camp at night tonight. ”

"The military advisor has worked hard, since the military advisor and Liu Xiang left. The king's heart has never been at peace. Seeing that the military advisor has returned today, the king's hanging heart has finally let go of half of it. ”

"Now that the military advisor has accomplished great things, this king is very happy. After retreating from the combined forces of the two countries, this king will definitely be rewarded. Li Tai said happily to Xu Liang.

"The lord didn't know anything, in order to convince King Xi. My head was almost hanging from the gate. Then Xu Liang told Li Tai in detail what happened.

Hearing Xu Liang's statement, everyone present couldn't help but secretly admire. I didn't expect that Xu Liang, the military advisor, would have such courage and courage.

"Where is the Heart Moon Fox?" Li Tai said with a straight face.

As soon as Li Tai's words fell, he saw a person appear in the main hall. It is Li Tai's star dark guard Xinyue Fox. He knelt on one knee on the ground and saluted Li Tai and said, "The heart moon fox visits the Lord, I don't know what the Lord will say to the heart moon fox?" ”

"Just now, this king heard from the military advisor that he was almost beheaded outside the gate. If it weren't for King Xi who sent someone to save the military division at the last moment, I'm afraid that the military division would have been in a different place at this time. ”

"Seeing the danger in the depths of the military division, why don't you come to the rescue. If something goes wrong, how can you afford it? Li Tai said angrily to Xinyue Fox.

"The Lord didn't know that the military advisor was pressed on the wooden pier at that time, so naturally he couldn't understand everything around him. But the subordinates are hidden in the shadows, so they can naturally see it very clearly. ”

"The military general who was in charge of supervising the beheading was originally arranged by King Xi. deliberately wants to test the military division, so it is impossible to let the military division have any mistakes. Xinyue Fox said to Li Tai.

Hearing what Xinyue Fox said, Cheng Yanjin said to Li Tai with a smile: "Dare to be afraid of this little bull's nose alone, and everyone already knows it." ”

"This king is the fault of this king, and this king is here to apologize to you." Li Tai got up and said to Xinyue Fox.

Li Tai alone was able to admit his mistakes in front of his subordinates. That's not something that everyone can do. Especially the kings who are high above.

"I don't blame the Lord for being angry about this, it's because Xinyue Fox didn't show the Lord for the first time. If nothing else, Xinyue Fox retired. Xinyue Fox saluted Li Tai again.

After Li Tai waved his hand, the Xinyue Fox disappeared in front of everyone again. Needless to say, everyone also understands in their hearts that they are still protecting Li Tai in the shadows.

"Don't blame Uncle Cheng for laughing at me, dare to love me, this is to scare myself. At the time, I thought I really couldn't come back. If it weren't for the lack of water I drank, I guess I would have peed my pants directly at that time. Xu Liang smiled and said.

Xu Liang's words caused everyone to laugh. The sluggish atmosphere just now was completely dissolved.

Later, Xu Liang handed over King Xi's letter to Li Tai. And told King Xi's decision briefly to Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded, and opened King Xi's letter. The content of the letter is roughly the same as what Xu Liang said, mainly to show his sincerity.

After Li Tai read the letter, he said to Xu Liang: "I'm tired from military training in the past few days, hurry back and rest well." There's a mission waiting for you tomorrow morning. ”

At this time, Xu Liang could be regarded as exhausted, and this errand made him nervous. In the end, it made him feel like a world away and walked around the palace of Hades.

So Xu Liang didn't refuse, and got up directly to say goodbye to Li Tai. Then, after saying goodbye to everyone, he went straight back to his home to rest.
