"Can this thing kill people?"
Others are stupid.
He didn't know how difficult it was until he tried it himself.
"That is to say..."
"Beside Li Xiao, there are at least a few hidden weapon masters?"
When he finished speaking, Li Yuanze's voice trembled a little.
Chapter 313: You can only make friends, not enemies
"wrong!"
Li Yuan suddenly gave a jolt: "It's not just a few, but there are many masters of hidden weapons!"
There are more than 700 corpses here, and nearly [-]% of them died under this kind of hidden weapon.
How many masters of hidden weapons are needed to take action together?
He even wondered if the person who captured Xu Shang had an army composed of hidden weapon masters.
this is too scary.
If it is said to fight a tough battle head-on on the battlefield, this kind of hidden weapon master may have limited effect.
It can be used for sneak attack, but it is invincible.
Once these masters of hidden weapons were used to assassinate him, how would he survive?
That's what worries him.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan was flustered and anxious for a while.
"Who is it?"
"Is it really Li Xiao?"
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
He couldn't believe it.
Or unwilling to face the truth.
If the truth is as he thought, then what kind of terrifying enemy has he provoked?
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."
Next to him, a general frowned and said, "Whether Li Xiao did it or not, we cannot let him leave Leizhou. If Qiongzhou is not captured by Lin Yang, then Li Xiao will be even more difficult to deal with when he returns to Qiongzhou."
"That's right! Now is an excellent opportunity, as long as the army arrives, Li Xiao will not be able to escape with his wings!"
"My lord, give me an order! We are sure of victory! What about masters of hidden weapons? What about sharp archers? There are many ways to deal with it. Is it possible that they can still resist my Leizhou's thousands of troops?"
Several ministries will ask for a fight one after another.
Hearing this, Li Yuanze was silent.
There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Wait a little longer, and look again."
"My lord, think about it, how are so many masters of hidden weapons trained?"
A flash of greed flashed in the eyes of a general, and continued: "There must be tricks and secrets. If we catch Li Xiao or a few hidden weapon masters and force them to find out this secret, then..."
Hearing this, Li Yuan was shocked.
By then, he will also be able to train a large number of masters.
Coupled with the fact that Xu Zian is behind him to help him, strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, the role of this group of masters will be incalculable.
Li Yuan said that it was a lie if he was not moved.
It's just that he, who has always been cautious, still has worries.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Don't bring up this matter again, I have my own opinion."
No matter what, he had to wait to ask Xu Zian before making a decision.
At this time, some subordinates came to report.
"My lord, the potholes have been carefully inspected, except for some iron fragments, there is nothing else."
They did not hesitate to dig very deep along the pothole, but only found a few small pieces of iron.
"Pothole?"
Li Yuan was pensive, and then said solemnly: "Did similar potholes appear in Lin Yang's barracks before?"
"Yes, my lord."
Hearing this, Li Yuanze's pupils trembled.
Now, he was finally sure that Xu Shang's disappearance was directly related to Li Xiao.
"Go back to the barracks first!"
When Li Yuan said this, he immediately changed his words: "No! Send people back immediately, let them break out of the camp, retreat ten miles, and then set up camp again."
"At the same time, strengthen the guard and release a large number of scouts. I need to grasp all the situation within a radius of thirty miles, and never allow the enemy to approach quietly!"
"Yes!"
The Ministry will immediately take orders.
Before leaving, Li Yuanze looked back at the pothole on the ground for the last time, and said aloud: "Take some of the scorched soil in the pothole back."
"Yes!"
……
At the same time, Li Xiao was in the tent.
"Your Highness, the Leizhou army retreated ten miles overnight."
"Hahaha!"
Ye Tianchen laughed loudly: "Are you scared away?"
"Hehe." Li Xiao smiled slightly, "If there is no ghost in your heart, why would you be so frightened?"
Don't even think about it.
Li Yuan must have known the situation on the battlefield, so he was afraid.
"If this is the case, His Highness will take the initiative to send it to the door tomorrow, so he may not be able to do it?" Ye Tianchen said with a frown.
"The more afraid he is, the more likely he will do it, because he understands that it will be his only chance." Li Xiao said indifferently.
"Wash up and sleep, tomorrow will see."
……
late at night.
Li Yuan, who was in the tent, was tossing and turning.
This is still a fart.
He was almost scared to death.
"grown ups!"
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted.
Li Yuan jumped up like an electric shock, with a nervous expression on his face.
"who is it?"
"My lord, please see Mr. Xu." The guard outside the tent said.
"Great!"
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "Quick! Please, sir!"
After a while, Xu Zian entered the tent.
"Sir, why did you rush over overnight?" Li Yuan said with a happy face, "Come on, sit down, sir. I have a lot of things I want to ask you."
Xu Zian said with a serious expression on his face, "The old man has always been uneasy. He was worried that something would happen here, so he rushed over overnight."
After a pause, Xu Zian frowned again and said, "The old man has already heard about the situation here. It seems that the old man's guess is correct."
"What does sir mean?"
Li Yuan had a solemn expression on his face.
"My lord, this Li Xiao is definitely not someone who will wait for nothing!"
Xu Zian's face was terribly solemn, and he continued: "I have checked the battlefield in the barracks, and the traces are roughly the same as the battlefield where Xu Shang disappeared."
"The black pothole must have a lot of origins, and it is definitely not caused by simple burning."
After a pause, he said again: "I heard that the prince brought back some burnt soil, please bring it to me."
"Come on!"
Li Yuan didn't even think about it, and immediately ordered someone to take the burnt soil into the tent.
Xu Zian picked up a piece of scorched earth and smelled it, his eyes fixed: "Yes, that's the smell!"
"Sir, it's just a piece of soil, what's wrong?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.
Xu Zian frowned, and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with the soil itself, but this is not caused by the burning of ordinary flames, but a special rare treasure."
"I thought about it for a long time on the way, and finally remembered that the old man once smelled the same smell at a friend's place."
Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart trembled: "Sir, do you mean that Li Xiao still has a secret weapon? Lin Yang was defeated by this secret weapon?"
There are also a large number of hidden weapon masters, and they are also sharp archers.
Now comes the secret weapon.
Li Yuan felt that his heart could hardly bear it.
Where did Li Xiao get so many cards?
How could he never know?
Fortunately, he has always acted cautiously and did not tear himself apart with Li Xiao, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
But in an instant, a trace of greed flashed in Li Yuanze's eyes: "Sir, the army will arrive soon, do you want to..."
"Absolutely not!"
But Xu Zian said in a deep voice: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. Now, the situation on Li Xiao's side is unclear, so we must not act rashly."
"Then what should the king do?"
Li Yuan was in a complicated mood.
Xu Zian said slowly: "The prince can only make friends with him, not an enemy."
"At least you can't act rashly until you find out his hole cards."
"Of course, if you are [-]% sure, you can give it a try, but you also need to arrange a way out in advance."
"After my husband's reminder, I feel more at ease, so I will do it like this!" Li Yuanze said with a sigh of relief.
……
The next morning.
Li Yuan stayed up all night, looking haggard.
Suddenly, the voice of the guard came from outside the tent: "My lord, please see the king of Yue!"
"What? Li Xiao is here?!"
Li Yuanze's pupils trembled, and he was taken aback.
