In this battle, Li Xian used his tricks to force Li Jinzhong to engage in a decisive battle, and finally annihilated all of Li Jinzhong's 100,000 troops, causing the Khitan to suffer a devastating blow. It can be said that it became famous all over the world and shocked all the tribes in the north.
What is even more surprising is that because the army led by Li Xian to lure the enemy was determined to fight, it successfully held back the main force of the enemy and seriously reduced their morale. Therefore, when the main force launched the attack, it was only
They paid a total casualty price of more than 20,000 people, plus the number of people who died when they were ordered to lure the enemy.
This can be said to be very exciting news for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. After Li Xian came to Zhaozhou, he achieved such amazing results in less than half a month.
It's not an exaggeration.
Therefore, after hearing about this major victory, local officials from Hebei Province, especially those who suffered from the Khitan war, all spontaneously came to Yingzhou where Li Xian was located to hold a banquet to celebrate Li Xian.
Of course, in addition to officials from various places, there are also some local celebrities and representatives sent by aristocratic families, such as the Li family of Zhaojun.
Although the war has just ended, because it was an unprecedented victory, this battle established a stable situation in Hebei states. At least for twenty years, large-scale wars will not break out. This ensures that under their rule or
He was a safe figure in the village, and even the current prince. Normally, it would be too late to fawn over him.
Therefore, a large number of people came to celebrate Li Xian's victory this time. There were more than 30 people with official status above fifth rank. Only these people were qualified to sit at the same table with Li Xian, while others were arranged
In the courtyard.
As the current prince, Li Xian naturally wanted to unite with the local gentry and celebrities to gain popularity for himself, so it was inconvenient to refuse their good intentions. However, before starting to drink, Li Xian still insisted on letting everyone stand up and pray for those who fought in the war.
People who died or were injured expressed their condolences. Li Xian's request was a bit shocking, because no one had ever proposed such a move before, but no one objected to it. This was not only because of the identity of Crown Prince Li Xian,
Moreover, because Li Xian's proposal was so sincere, it deeply touched those who had been devastated by the war, as well as their families and friends.
Even those who have not experienced the destruction of the war were moved by Li Xian's gesture. Through this, they gained a new understanding of Li Xian's character, because a man who enjoyed glory while also
Those heroes who do not forget those who have passed away are absolutely worthy of respect.
Therefore, almost everyone raised their glasses and sincerely expressed their respect to Li Xian.
Naturally, Li Xian would not refuse toasts from those officials of fifth rank or above, and those congratulators in the courtyard were all extraordinary people. Of course, Li Xian would not neglect them, so he clinked glasses and drank with almost everyone.
It was because he drank so much that he felt a little dizzy after all this.
In this case, Li Xian left his seat and went to the garden through the back door to take a breath.
Today's weather is hot. In such weather and on an occasion like a banquet, Li Xian naturally did not wear armor or weapons. Instead, he wore a long gown and held a folding fan in the quiet night.
Breathe in and out, trying to wake yourself up.
But at this moment, Li Xian suddenly frowned, because he heard a slight sound of clothes breaking through the air not far away, accompanied by bursts of long breathing. Li Xian immediately judged that there was something wrong.
More than ten masters were approaching him, and Li Xian could feel a faint murderous aura, so he knew that the ten or so people who came were actually going to assassinate him.
Those people very carefully arrived ten feet away from Li Xian, and slowly and secretly surrounded Li Xian. They were obviously fully prepared and did not want to give Li Xian a chance to escape.
However, those people didn't show up for a long time, either out of worries or unpreparedness.
Li Xian couldn't help but said calmly: "Since you're here, let's show up. How sneaky are you?"
However, the surroundings were quiet, and then a hoarse voice sounded: "His Royal Highness is indeed a master. He discovered us so quickly. To be honest, we have only one purpose here today, and that is to take the life of His Highness. I hope
Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please help us. If you don't resist, we promise that we will do it cleanly and let you die a more pleasant death. If you resist, you won't have to suffer some minor pain. In that case, neither of us will look good."
The man's voice was obviously disguised. In this case, Li Xian could also guess that the man must be an acquaintance, otherwise he would not have disguised his voice. However, Li Xian did not know who among the acquaintances he knew.
Who actually has such skill.
"Haha, from what you said, it seems that I have been convinced that I have no chance of surviving this time. I wonder where did you get such confidence?" After hearing this, Li Xian smiled lightly and said calmly.
But I saw that man laughing and saying: "Naturally confident, we are all first-class masters. Each of us has practiced martial arts for many years, and eighteen people have formed a formation. Even if it is compared to the Eighteen Arhats Formation in your Shaolin Temple, it is incomparable."
No less impressive, under such circumstances, even if you are the best in the martial arts world, you will still be captured by us."
"Hmph, you really know a lot." When Li Xian heard this, he knew that the other party had figured out the details of his Shaolin disciples, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Hey, I didn't expect that now, you are still thinking about killing us. Do you really think that since you are the prince, we can't kill you? You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. If that's the case, then kill me!"
After the man finished speaking, an extremely cold killing intent immediately erupted from his body, and then he drew his sword and prepared to take action.
But he didn't expect that at this moment, he heard the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind, and Li Xian actually moved first. It turned out that Li Xian also saw that the opponent's formation was unusual. If they were allowed to take the lead, he might not be sure.
You will really fall into passivity, which may even bring unpredictable consequences.
I saw that Li Xian's movement was like the wind. Before a man in black could react, he came in front of him, and then punched the man in the face with his right hand as fast as lightning. He only heard a puff, and the man
The bridge of his nose was broken by Li Xian's punch, and blood flowed out.
The man screamed, and almost subconsciously covered his nose with both hands. However, Li Xian unexpectedly pulled out his sword from the man's waist, and then stabbed forward, directly into the wounded man.
The man with a broken nose looked at Li Xian with a look of disbelief on his face, and then he died without even making a sound. (To be continued.)
