Under the supervision of a group of soldiers, the man who had survived the disaster was brought to Li Yuan. At this moment, he leaned over to salute Li Yuan with excitement and anxiety, claiming to be Xiao Yan's follower, named Huang Daoquan.

Then he told intermittently the thrilling things he had experienced last night, his tone was very urgent, his face was frank, but everything he said was confusing.

"...After the Forbidden Army Commander Zhang led his troops away, the four of us started to bury the bodies of Prime Minister Li, oh, bah, Li Zhenggu, Xiao Yan, and the rebel general Zhu Heng and others.

, I wanted to rush to the Forbidden Army camp immediately to report my merits and receive the reward, but as soon as I walked less than a hundred steps in the forest, I encountered an ambush from the Zhennan Army! It was late at night and the forest was dense. The four of us scattered and ran away to fight hard, but now

It seems that the other three people should all be dead..."

Li Yuan quietly looked at Huang Daoquan's scattered bun and the dead grass and a few pine needles stained in the bun. He kept gesticulating with his hands as if he was not lying. However, Huang Daoquan was immersed in the pleasure of surviving the disaster and did not think so.

He reached out and picked up a few stones on the ground, arranged them on the terrain and continued talking.

"There are many ambushes in the woods to the east. These positions are all filled with archers. There should also be ambushes on the cliffs to the west. I can't judge their specific number. I only know that the Zhennan Army who escorted us on our way yesterday totaled about a hundred people.

."

Huang Daoquan took a breath and suddenly plucked up the courage to raise his hands to Li Yuan and said: "Marshal Li, this is the truth! Dare, dare I ask, when will the villain receive the reward? The villain was ordered to kill the thief...

."

The people gathered around looked at each other, and Li Yuan frowned and was speechless. This Huang Daoquan had just escaped from danger, but now he was still thinking about becoming an official and making a fortune? This fame and wealth seemed to be more important than life. What's more, what he wanted

What he said was unbelievable, and what he kept saying about King Yan's order was simply nonsense.

Of course, as King Li Hongji of Yan is the prince, he has the privilege and the means to secretly send people out of the camp to intercept and kill Li Zhenggu and others without telling the generalissimo Li Yuan, but it is unreasonable because Huang Daoquan mentioned

One detail was that the general who claimed to be the envoy of Zhang Du of the Forbidden Army hastily ordered them to bury Li Zhenggu and Xiao Yan on the spot.

It should be noted that what the emperor wanted by name was to capture Li Zhenggu and return to the court. As for Xiao Yan, he was the emperor's confidant... Now that the great achievement is about to be captured, Li Hongji will be in power soon after returning to the court, even if it is only for a short time.

Even if you are stupid, you won't be stupid to such a puzzling level.

Li Yuan reacted immediately. Someone must have intercepted and killed Li Zhenggu and his party in the valley under the guise of the Forbidden Army. Pretending to be a false identity meant frame-up, and the Zhennan Army must have known about it, because if the Zhennan Army

If he really wanted to escort Li Zhenggu and others to the Forbidden Army camp, he would definitely send someone to knock on the camp, but Li Yuan did not receive any report at all.

Thinking about it this way, everything Huang Daoquan experienced becomes even more confusing, because the group of people pretending to be the Forbidden Army deliberately let the four of Huang Daoquan go, and asked them to come to the Forbidden Army camp to spread the word. It is not difficult to guess that they wanted them to "Feng Yan"

The story of "the king's order to kill the rebels" was spread to confuse the public, but the Zhennan Army later turned around and killed four of them. This section is really contradictory and redundant...

Li Yuan frowned and said: "I understand, the commander-in-chief. After the Zhennan Army handed you over to the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army first killed Li Zhenggu, Xiao Yan and others, then ordered you to kill each other, and then suppressed

The Confederate Army is back to kill you..."

"That's it!" Seeing this twists and turns clearly understood by Li Yuan, Huang Daoquan nodded quickly, with a look of relief, and began to feel complacent in his heart. He was definitely favored by God. Not only did he pick up the He lost his life and unexpectedly met the soldiers of the Forbidden Army in this wilderness, and even saw Marshal Li, the first general of the Tang Dynasty, with his own eyes! His career is just around the corner!

When Huang Daoquan was thinking wildly, he saw Li Yuan coldly saying to Fu Hong and other generals around him: "Where are you? Do you understand?"

"This..." The generals were stunned for a moment, each lost in thought and remained silent.

Fu Hong narrowed his eyes and was confused for a moment, then he raised his hands and said to Li Yuan: "Come back to the Generalissimo, I understand what I'm listening to, but I feel it's very strenuous. I'll be tired after listening..."

Li Yuan said patiently: "Also, Huang Daoquan, how can you be sure that the people who killed the four of you were Zhennan Army troops? Didn't you mean that after the Zhennan Army Qingqi guarding you handed you over to the envoy Zhang Du, Have you already left? Since the Zhennan Army wants to kill you, why bother so much?"

Huang Daoquan swallowed his saliva and vowed: "It is definitely the Zhennan Army! Grand Marshal, this villain has been in the Zhennan Army for many days, and almost every general recognizes him. The leader is Jiang Kai, the general of the Zhennan Army! This person He is the number one general under Song Mojie. He has a high position and is often seen in various camps. Even a villain would recognize him even if he turned into gray! As for why they went through so much trouble, I don’t even understand."

"Generalissimo, are we going back to the camp? If what this man said is true..." Fu Hong said in a low voice.

Li Yuan walked slowly, holding his chin and frowning as he thought. Everyone looked at Li Yuan without saying a word, not daring to disturb his thoughts. A gust of mountain wind blew, and the sound of waves on both sides of the cliff was like a turbulent ocean in everyone's hearts. waves.

Li Yuan stopped and said, "Wait a minute, you just escaped all the way, are there any enemy troops following you?"

"Probably not! The villain was exhausted after fighting to the end last night, so he had no choice but to escape deep into the forest in the dead of night, hiding alone in the grass and trees without making a sound. In the end, he was lucky enough to escape until the pursuers Don't dare to move until everyone has left, otherwise how could it be delayed until dawn." Huang Daoquan shook his head.

Li Yuan raised his hand and said solemnly: "First take Huang Daoquan down to keep a good watch on him and let him eat something and rest for a while. Fu Tongjun will lead 200 troops to hold down the formation here. The rest of the people will follow me."

Fu Hong hurriedly asked: "What does the Generalissimo want to do?"

Li Yuandao: "I want to take a look in the forest ahead."

"Generalissimo, think twice!" Fu Hong and other generals were all shocked.

Fu Hong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Generalissimo, the truth of what Huang Daoquan said has not yet been determined. In case there is a fraud in it, if you have any good intentions..."

Li Yuan waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Just follow your orders."

Fu Hong gritted his teeth and said: "If the Generalissimo insists on going, I will ask you to go with me! If you really encounter the enemy, you will have one more person who can fight by your side, right? You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army and you go into battle in person, how can I do that? Are you greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "Then you can come and take a look together."

All the generals followed Li Yuan and got on their horses and left the wood and stone fortifications. Fu Hong waved his hand and the other three hundred horsemen immediately got on their horses and followed.
