Several ministries will discuss it one after another.
Hearing this, Li Yuanze shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Most of the 5000 troops sent by Lin Yang to attack Qiongzhou are gone."
Chapter 312: In His Way
"This……"
In the camp, except for Li Yuanze, everyone was puzzled.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
"The army behind us should be able to arrive here tomorrow morning, do you want to..."
"inappropriate!"
Li Yuan frowned, got up and ordered: "Go to the place where Xu Shang disappeared first."
"Yes!"
……
At the same time, Li Xiao also received the news.
"Your Highness, Li Yuan led people away in a hurry, and it seems that he found the corpse over there."
Ye Tianchen said thoughtfully: "I don't think this guy is a good guy, do you want to tie him back?"
"No!" Li Junxian said with a frown, "Shunde will prosper, and rebellion will perish. If His Highness takes action first, it will be an unknown teacher. How can you convince the public?"
Li Xiao was pensive, and after pondering for a while, said: "Then Xu Tang, how is the investigation going?"
Li Junxian clasped his fists and replied: "According to His Highness's instructions, it has been confirmed that this Xu Tang is indeed Li Yuanze's confidant, his real name is Xu Shang, and his ancestors have been generals of Leizhou for three generations."
"But based on this alone, it is still impossible for Li Yuanze to plead guilty. He will definitely insist that Xu Shang defected to Qinzhou."
"What does it matter if he pleads guilty or not? As long as we can be sure." Li Xiao said thoughtfully, "You can't rely on the laws of the Tang Dynasty to help you in everything, you have to rely on yourself!"
"Your Highness is ready to attack Li Yuanze?"
Li Junxian frowned slightly, preoccupied.
Hearing this, Li Xiao looked at Li Junxian meaningfully and said, "Uncle Li, I understand what you are worried about."
"But don't worry, I'm still the same person I was three years ago, and I haven't changed."
Today, the strength he possesses is not what it used to be.
It is even said that it can control the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty.
When a person has the strength to sweep the world and be self-reliant, he will often be dazzled by desire and do some irrational things.
Because there is nothing to restrain him anymore.
He understood that Li Junxian was extremely loyal to Datang.
Li Junxian didn't want to see him holding up the butcher's knife to Datang, and he didn't want to see Datang deal with him because Li Yuan had misunderstood him.
Li Junxian thinks a lot, so he is more cautious.
Li Xiao also understood this truth.
It is easy to kill Li Yuanze, but the difficulty lies in how he will face the crusade from all over the world after killing Li Yuanze.
"What are you talking about?"
Ye Tianchen scratched his head with a dazed expression.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
Li Junxian said with a worried face: "We are born without a name."
He understood that since Li Xiao had made a decision, he couldn't stop it.
"Simple, there is no reason, then create a reason."
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.
"Doesn't he like directing and acting by himself?"
"Okay, I'll play with him..."
As he said that, Li Xiao said seriously: "Old Zhao!"
"Subordinates are here!"
Zhao Yuntian clasped his fists and stepped out.
Li Xiao ordered: "You escort Lin Yang and the two thousand soldiers from Leizhou back to Qiongzhou according to the original plan."
"As ordered!"
"Ye Tianchen!"
"Subordinates are here!"
"Tomorrow morning, I will lure Li Yuanze to attack me. You will bring half of the guards of the imperial army to support you in secret and be ready to support at any time."
"Yes!"
Ye Tianchen immediately took the order, and then asked in doubt: "Your Highness, if Li Yuan doesn't do anything, what should I do?"
"As soon as I send the signal, you will lead someone to pretend to be Leizhou soldiers and pretend to be an assassin, understand?"
As Li Xiao said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"what?!"
Ye Tianchen's eyes widened, and the expression on his face was extremely strange: "Can it still be like this?"
Everyone else is stupid.
In the past, all he knew was that Li Xiao was a master of martial arts and extremely intelligent.
Unexpectedly, when Li Xiao played tricks, it made his back shudder.
It's too insidious!
If everyone does this, wouldn't they be able to mess with whoever they want?
There is no need to worry about violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty. After all, we were assassinated and belonged to the side of justice.
People in the world will only scold and condemn Li Yuanze, saying that he assassinated the king of Yue with the intention of rebelling.
In the end, he was countered by the King of Yue, and the King of Yue made a great contribution.
"Uncle Li, what's the plan?"
Li Xiao looked at Li Junxian.
Li Junxian nodded: "I am relieved that Your Highness can think so thoroughly."
"That's it!"
Li Xiao immediately made up his mind.
"This plan is very risky, Your Highness should wear close-fitting armor, just in case." Li Junxian said again.
He naturally believed in Li Xiao's strength.
It's just that it's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I always wear my gold silk soft armor when I go out, and I never take it off." Li Xiao said with a smile.
The gold silk soft armor was also made according to the blueprints provided by the system in the past three years, but the materials are expensive, and this is the only one.
Its defense power is slightly stronger than that of alloy armor.
In this world, there is almost no sharp weapon that can pierce this gold silk soft armor.
"That's good." Li Junxian nodded.
……
I don't feel like it's night.
On the flat ground thirty miles away, there are countless corpses lying at this moment.
This is real corpses strewn all over the fields, blood flowing like rivers.
On the battlefield, there are many large and small black potholes, which seem to have burnt marks.
On the outskirts of the battlefield, Li Yuanze finally led people to arrive.
By the light of the moon, Li Yuan saw the corpses all over the ground, and felt a chill rise from his back.
"My lord, there are a total of 780 corpses, which is the same as the number of people taken away by Xu Shang, one is quite a lot." A ministry general reported.
"How did they all die?"
Li Yuan asked solemnly.
In less than half a day, so many people died, and none escaped.
The truth behind this made him feel heavy.
"Returning to the lord, most of the wounds are between the eyebrows, and they are very small, like the work of a hidden weapon master. What kind of hidden weapon it is, I don't know yet, and the body is still being dissected."
"Other than that, the rest of the small number of people died when a sharp arrow pierced their hearts."
"Look, my lord."
As he said that, the general took a feathered arrow and continued: "It is this kind of feathered arrow that penetrated the armor and the whole body, and finally sank into the ground."
"what?!"
When Li Yuan heard this, an unbelievable expression appeared on his face.
Leizhou armors all have heart guards.
The chest defense is the strongest.
But this feathered arrow actually penetrated the heart shield first, and then penetrated the part of the armor on the back.
This power is too great!
"My lord, the one who made the shot should be a very strong sharpshooter." The general said solemnly.
Li Yuanze also felt a chill rise in his heart.
There are often sharpshooters, but there are not many who can do this.
"If Li Xiao really did it, doesn't it mean that he has a very powerful sharpshooter protecting him secretly?"
Li Yuan thought of this, and the cold sweat flowed out from behind.
Fortunately, he didn't break his face with Li Xiao several times before.
otherwise……
He no longer dared to think about it.
Suddenly, another general came over, holding a small black iron ball in his hand.
"My lord, I found it!"
He handed the iron bead in his hand to Li Yuanze, and said: "This is found between the eyebrows of the corpse, and it is the person killed by this iron bead."
If Li Xiao was here, he would definitely recognize that these were the bullets from his flintlock gun.
But Li Yuan looked at the iron marbles with a confused face.
"Is this a hidden weapon? There are such small hidden weapons in the world?"
He was stunned.
This iron ball is about the size of a soybean.
He couldn't imagine how a body of flesh and blood could use such a hidden weapon.
throw it out?
Li Yuan picked up the bead and tried to throw it far away.
But the iron marble flew out into the night and disappeared completely.
But he himself knew that the iron ball hadn't been thrown very far.
