The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 661 Xu Liang Returns to Youzhou City (Third Watch)

"Your Majesty, we have received the news a long time ago. In today's battle, the Khitan King sent [-] Khitan cavalry. He was planning to take down Youzhou City in the first battle, but it is a pity that more than [-] people have been lost as soon as they reached the city wall." A military general of Xi State stood up and said to King Xi.

"Chang Sunxiang didn't say in the letter that King Yan had 10,000+ troops in Youzhou City. Now more than [-] people have been taken away by Fan Yang Lu's family. Moreover, King Yan's most elite iron guards are now also on the banks of the Yalu River with Fan Yang Lu. Home is across the river."

"So according to this calculation, the defenders in Youzhou City will definitely not exceed 20. And they are all recruits, who have never really been on the battlefield. Why did they suddenly become [-]?" Xi Xi Wang asked puzzledly.

"Since His Highness King Yan wants to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the position of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have no foundation. If it is easy, His Highness the Crown Prince will figure it out. I am afraid that His Royal Highness Yan will not know what will happen at this time. "Xu Liang said with a smile.

"So that's the case. I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan will do next. This king can cooperate with him." After nodding in surprise, King Xi said to Xu Liang.

"If my calculations are correct, the Khitan King will definitely send someone to steal the camp and rob the village tonight. So King Xi can secretly evacuate the camp, and then use the cover of night to surround the Khitan camp."

"If King Khitan didn't, he sent troops to attack King Xi's camp at night. Then King Xi would withdraw to the camp before dawn tomorrow. If he sent someone to attack King Xi at night, then King Xi could take advantage of the emptiness in his camp and come to attack the host. "Xu Liang said to King Xi.

"The camps of the two armies are not far apart. Even if we take advantage of the vacancy to launch an attack. The Khitan cavalry who come out to attack the king can quickly return to help. At that time, the king may be attacked by the enemy." King Xi said after shaking his head.

"Please rest assured, King Xi, when the time comes, I will ask His Royal Highness King Yan to send troops from the north gate. All the Khitan cavalry who attacked King Xi's camp will be trapped in the camp." Xu Liang said to King Xi.

"In that case, tonight, I will do as you said. If I let this king know that King Yan is deceiving me, then even if I put all my strength in the whole country, I 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 powerful enemy that would make him uneasy in the rear." Xu Liang said to King Xi with a smile.

"In that case, please return to Youzhou City, General Xu, and tell King Yan what you want. Let him never forget to send troops out of the city to help you." King Xi nodded and said.

"It's better for King Xi to write a letter, so that I can take it back to His Highness King Yan. It can also show King Xi's sincerity in forming an offensive and defensive alliance." Xu Liang said to King Xi.

Afterwards, King Xi ordered someone to fetch a 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 King Khitan's camp tonight.

……

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Army Master Xu Liang is back." The guard came to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou and said to Li Tai.

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

Not long after, Xu Liang came to the main hall, first saluted Li Tai, and then said: "My lord, Xu Liang, I live up to my lord's expectations. Now I have successfully persuaded King Xi that he will send troops to attack the Khitan camp tonight. "

"The military division has worked hard. Since the military division and Liu Xiang left, this king's heart has never been stable. Seeing the military division's return today, my king's hanging heart has finally let go of half."

"Now that the military division has accomplished the important thing, this king is very happy. After the coalition forces of the two countries are retired, I will definitely reward you a lot." Li Tai said happily to Xu Liang.

"My lord doesn't know something, in order to convince King Xi. My head was almost hung on the gate." Then Xu Liang told Li Tai what happened in detail.

Hearing Xu Liang's narration, everyone present could not help but admire secretly.Unexpectedly, Xu Liang, the military master offering wine, would have such courage and courage.

"Where is Xinyuehu?" Li Tai said with a straight face.

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, he saw a person appearing in the main hall.It was Li Tai's star guard, Xinyuehu.He knelt on the ground on one knee, saluted Li Tai and said, "Xinyuehu pays homage to the lord, I don't know what the lord has to say for calling Xinyuehu?"

"Just now I heard from the military adviser that he was almost beheaded outside the gate. If King Xi hadn't sent someone to save the military adviser at the last moment, the military adviser would have already lost his head by now."

"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 Xinyuehu.

"My lord doesn't know. At that time, the military commander was pressed on the wooden pier, so he couldn't see everything around him. But the subordinates were hiding in the dark, so they could see very clearly."

"The general in charge of supervising the beheading was originally arranged by King Xi. He deliberately wanted to test the military adviser, so it is impossible for the military adviser to make any mistakes." Xinyuehu said to Li Tai.

Hearing Xinyuehu's words made sense, Cheng Yaojin smiled and said to Li Tai: "It's a pity that this little Niubizi is afraid alone, and everyone else already knows it well."

"This king has wrongly blamed you for this matter, and I apologize to you here." Li Tai got up and said to Xinyuehu.

Li Tai alone was able to admit his mistakes in front of his subordinates.This is not something that everyone can do.Especially the aloof king.

"I don't blame the lord for being angry about this matter. It's because Xinyuehu didn't report to the lord immediately. If there is nothing else, Xinyuehu will leave." Xinyuehu saluted Li Tai again.

After Li Tai waved his hand, Xinyuehu disappeared in front of everyone again.Needless to say, everyone knew that they were still protecting Li Tai in the dark.

"I don't blame Uncle Cheng for laughing at me. I dare say I was scaring myself to play. At that time, I thought I would never come back. If it wasn't for the lack of drinking water, I would have peed my pants right then." Xu Liang He smiled and said.

Xu Liang's words made everyone burst into laughter.The gloomy atmosphere just now was resolved completely.

Then Xu Liang handed King Xi's letter to Li Tai.And briefly told Li Tai about King Xi's decision.

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 express his sincerity.

After reading the letter, Li Tai said to Xu Liang, "I'm exhausted from the military training these days, so go back and have a good rest. There's still a task waiting for you tomorrow morning."

At this time, Xu Liang was exhausted physically and mentally. Originally, this errand made him worry.In the end, it made him walk around the Palace of the King of Hell as if he had passed away.

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