Chapter 97 Battle on the Yalu River (1)

In the main camp of Li Xian's army in Goguryeo, seeing the long-lost Dou Xiantong, Zhang Wuchen and others arriving in front of him, Li Xian couldn't help but burst into tears and was very excited. Although he had only been separated from these people for a month, this one

However, Yue gave Li Xian a taste of life and death, and even if he almost couldn't come back, how could such an experience make him not cherish the reunion with these close friends?

Seeing Li Xian shed sincere tears, both Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong were moved, but their reactions were completely different. Zhang Wuchen burst into tears with gratitude, and his loyalty to Li Xian in his heart was even greater. He was willing to do everything for Li Xian.

It looked like he had worked hard to die. But Dou Xiantong chuckled and scolded: "You are so shameless, you even imitate women and cry like this."

Although she said this, Dou Xiantong's delicate face also shed tears. However, in order to maintain her own image, she turned her back to Li Xian, but she ignored Li Yue and all her personal entourage except Zhang Wuchen.

Kicked out.

At this time, Li Xian gently wiped his tears, and then laughed and said: "You dare to say that I don't know who has wet tears on her face. The beauty rolled up the bead curtain and sat deeply with her eyebrows furrowed. But when she saw the wet tears,

Who do you hate?"

"Humph, how dare you make fun of me? If I want to hate you, I would naturally hate you for being such a heartless and unlucky person. You drove me away so cruelly and ordered me to patrol the city, but you have been free and at ease this month.

I don’t know how miserable my life has been during this month, as I have been pretending to be Li Xian every day, looking out for myself and feeling sorry for myself.”

When Dou Xiantong mentioned his hatred, he jumped up to Li Xian, stretched out his delicate hands and grabbed Li Xian's ears. This scene made Zhang Wuchen unable to watch anymore, so he had to say goodbye to Li Xian, and then ran away in embarrassment.

"Oh, be gentle, there is still Wuchen watching here..." Li Xian looked up and found that Zhang Wuchen had already escaped. He couldn't help but said in disappointment: "Huh? Where is the person? Why did you leave without saying hello?"

When Dou Xiantong saw this, he was overjoyed. He increased his strength again, and a sound like a king killing a pig came from the tent...

After the two had enough trouble, Dou Xiantong took out the letter written by Li Ji to Li Xian and gave it to him. When Li Xian opened the letter, Dou Xiantong saw Li Xian smiling and said nothing, so he quickly came over and took a look.

Looking at it, I found that it turned out to be the words "Kowloon spits water, benefiting the three capitals". I couldn't help but wonder: "What is written on it?"

But I saw Li Xian laughing and saying: "This is a code word to tell me the time for the army to go out. Jiulong is Renye, Long is Chenye, Jiulong is also the day of Renchen, and Sanjing is the homophony of the third watch. What Li Gong means is with me.

Invite us to meet at the third watch of Renchen day to attack Goguryeo and conquer the natural dangers of the Yalu River."

"Humph, can't we just say it clearly? Why do we want to imitate poor scholars in playing riddles? This fat old man just likes to make mysteries." Dou Xiantong was originally a little dissatisfied with Li Ji for neglecting him, but today he finally caught the opportunity to vent, so he endured it.

Can't stop venting.

But Li Xian smiled faintly, and then said: "I don't understand this. The reason why Mr. Li is doing this is to keep it secret. If this happens, the information will fall into the hands of the enemy and it will be difficult for the enemy to decipher it..."

"Hmph, with my skill, how could the letter fall into the hands of the enemy? This fat old man obviously doesn't trust me, but he is really hateful." Dou Xiantong didn't wait for Li Xian to finish, he stamped his feet and said bitterly.

Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, but he could only explain patiently: "This is not distrust, but a matter of rules. In fact, what I was going to say about this is that I will use secret means to transmit information between people in the future, and set up secret words.

, except for my insiders, no one can identify it, so if the information is intercepted, no one will know its true content."

"Humph, you are eating everything in and out, turning your elbows outwards. You don't help me, but you help that fat old man." Hearing this, Dou Xiantong couldn't help but make trouble unreasonably, but he also knew that what Li Xian said was reasonable, and vented his "angry"

After a few sentences, he said: "How can I, a scholar, be as talented as you and make a huge nine dragon spit water to convey the message? If you let me do this, you might as well let me enter the palace and assassinate that... person."

Dou Xiantong originally wanted to say something to assassinate Empress Wu, but when he saw Li Xian glare at him, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly stopped the second half of the sentence, and then said playfully to Li Xian

stuck out his tongue.

Li Xian snorted, and then said softly: "You can rest assured that I will take care of the secret words. However, you need to remember it, otherwise if you see those secret words in the future and cannot translate them, it will be really terrible."

It’s such a disgrace.”

"That's natural. Although I haven't read much, my memory is pretty good. As long as I give it time, I believe I will be able to remember your secret words by heart, and I guarantee that I won't make any mistakes." Dou Xiantong said with a proud look on his face.

"Hey, I'm afraid you won't be so boastful by then, and it will definitely make you want to cry." Although Li Xian could predict the ending, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Dou Xiantong would give up the job.

The "Renchen Day" mentioned by Li Ji in his letter was actually three days later. Li Xian had actually made sufficient preparations for this, and in order to ensure success, he specifically attacked a supply camp fifty miles away.

As a result, Yuon Namchan sent his trusted general Eulji Mong to lead more than 10,000 people to pursue him fiercely. This man was a member of the tribe of Goguryeo's famous general Eulji Mundeok. He was always brave and outstanding in intelligence. He was Yuonnan.

However, although the Ulchi-Mongol army moved quickly, it could not escape as fast as Li Xian's army. When the encirclement and suppression army came after them, they found that Li Xian's army was already thirty miles away.

, and at this time, Li Xian's army was only more than twenty miles away from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo.

Eulji Mong was shocked after hearing the news, and immediately led an army to pursue Li Xian's army, making sure that Pyongyang would not be captured by the Tang army. However, when his army arrived at Pyongyang City, he found that it was quiet and there was no sign of a battle at all.

After thinking silently for a while, he immediately ordered the army to return to the Yalu River to aid, because he had already thought that the Tang army's efforts to deal with it were nothing more than to divert the tiger away from the mountain, draw his own army away, and then attack Li Ji's main force from both sides to break through.

The Yalu River is a natural hazard!

It was a pity that by the time he woke up, it was already too late, because at this time Li Xian's army arrived at the bank of the Yalu River with a rapid march of 150 miles a night. After taking a short rest, they immediately launched an attack as promised.

Regarding the attack of Li Xian's army, Yuan Nanchan had no information at all in advance, because at this time the spies who delivered the news had already been sniped and killed by Li Xian's army, and the news that Quan Nanchan had received before was that Li Xian's army was now

They have almost arrived at Pyongyang City, and with Pyongyang's strong city defense and the 20,000 troops commanded by his brother Yuon Nanjian, plus the more than 10,000 troops and horses led by his general Eulji Mong, the Tang army will definitely be able to annihilate the entire Tang army below the city walls.

But what he didn't expect was that just when he relaxed his guard against the Tang army behind him, he was surprised by a sudden enemy attack and was thrown into panic.

"Commander, there is an enemy attack. It seems to be the Tang army. The flag is unknown and the number is unknown. However, it looks like it should be the Li Xian army that General Yang mentioned."

"What are you talking about? The enemy troops have all entered the camp, and you, a loser, don't know the generals and their numbers, yet you dare to report to me? Come here, drag them out with me and chop them down."

Yuan Nanchan couldn't help being furious after hearing the news, and immediately ordered the spy to be executed. At the same time, he ordered the army to quickly assemble his troops and join him to meet the enemy.

"My army has 50,000 people. Even if Li Xian comes in person, what will happen? My general orders me to capture Li Xian alive today, wipe out all the enemy troops, and eliminate this trouble for my second brother." Yuan Nanchan is not someone to be trifled with.

When people saw the enemy attacking now, they were naturally not polite and immediately sent an order to annihilate all Li Xian's army.

And just when his army had just assembled and before it could set off, he heard the spies coming to report the news: "Commander, it's not good. The Tang army on the other side crossed the river and suddenly launched an attack. The brothers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Commander

Do you want to give the order to defend to the death?"

"What are you talking about? Damn it, why did the Tang thief launch the attack at this time? Could it be that he has some connection with Li Xian's child?" Yuan Nanchan couldn't help but shiver when he thought of this, and then immediately ordered: "Stay here

The former army defended the camp, and the other battalions followed the general to counterattack Li Xian. If we can capture Li Xian's son today, we will not only be able to reverse the decline, but also force the Southern Dynasty to return all the territory that invaded us. Soldiers, now is a life and death moment.

You must fight to the death, and I promise you that whoever captures Li Xian will receive a reward of ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand cattle and sheep, and ten thousand herdsmen, and will be promoted to a general."

The order was quickly passed down, and the entire Goguryeo army was deeply shocked by Yuan Nanchan's heavy reward, because such a fortune was so amazing, and the title of general was awarded, which meant that as long as the reward was fulfilled,

, the person who achieves this great feat will become the richest person in the entire Goguryeo, and will also become the only person in the army second only to Yuon Namsan!

Such a reward is enough to make anyone crazy, so all the soldiers turned red-eyed and roared angrily as they rushed towards Li Xian's army. The momentum was astonishing, as fast as overwhelming mountains and seas.

The Goguryeo soldiers were so crazy that the pressure on Li Xian was naturally much greater. Originally, at the beginning of the battle, he could lead his knights to run in and out of the enemy camp, killing nearby enemy soldiers until they fell off their backs and cried for their fathers and mothers.

, was defeated, but the situation soon changed. Groups of enemy troops came like a tide. After seeing his bravery, not only were they not afraid, but they were like hungry wolves who saw meat, fighting forward with all their might.

, and they were all fighting in the exact same direction, which was the direction of Da Zou, which symbolized the location of the coach, and they were all shouting almost the same slogan: "Catch Li Xian, get promoted and make a fortune."
