Chen Xuanli and his subordinates were all generals, and their positions were much higher than Ang Lee's. However, Ang Lee had directly sent people to give them orders, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
As Ang Lee's superior, Dragon Martial General Chen Xuanli was also slightly unhappy. However, he had the highest position, so he did not show it.
Lifei Shouyu was not nervous because of the anger of the Dragon Martial Army's generals. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said seriously, "Although Captain Li's position is low, he has been entrusted by His Majesty. He is walking on thin ice every day and does not dare to slack off. Right now, Dongnu Province is in danger, and all of you are generals of the Tang dynasty. You should put aside your positions and work together with Captain Li to overcome this crisis. Please forgive me for my offensive words."
After that, he nodded and apologized.
"Captain Lifei, are you lecturing us?"
"Captain Li does have some ability, but you can't mess with the hierarchy."
The Dragon Martial Army's generals were still angry.
Chen Xuanli was not angry. Seeing Lifei Shouyu's talent, he nodded and said, "I've heard that Captain Lifei's archery skills are outstanding. Why don't you show us?"
"How would I dare to disobey the general's orders?"
"Good, bring the bows."
Upon hearing the order, several personal guards immediately handed over a few strong bows.
Chen Xuanli personally picked up a strong bow and handed it to Lifei Shouyu, "Captain Lifei, there's a wooden stake a hundred steps ahead. Try it."
Lifei Shouyu took the bow and was about to shoot when one of the Dragon Martial Army's generals snatched a bow from a soldier and squeezed in front of Lifei Shouyu, "Let me go first."
Whoosh!
The Dragon Martial Army's general shot an arrow right at the wooden stake. Because he used a lot of force, the arrow's tail kept on shaking.
"Good, good archery."
Amidst the praises, the Dragon Martial Army's general looked at Lifei Shouyu proudly. Lifei Shouyu looked expressionlessly at the shaking arrow in front of him and did not shoot.
"What's wrong? Why isn't Captain Lifei shooting?"
Several pairs of provocative eyes looked at Lifei Shouyu, thinking that he was afraid and was about to admit defeat.
Li Feishou Yu was still motionless. He looked at the quivering arrow a hundred steps away from him. He was like a statue, without any reaction.
Chen Xuanli was also very curious. He did not know what was going on with Lifei Shouyu. why he was not moving. Could it be that he was scared?? Was he scared? That was impossible.
After a long while, Li Feishou Yu slowly raised his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed a hundred steps away.
Whoosh! Crack!

Only now did everyone finally understand why Li Feishou Yu had been standing there without moving. He was waiting for the arrow on the wooden pillar to stabilize. Then, he shot at the tail of the arrow and accurately hit the target, splitting the original arrow on the wooden pillar.
"Lifei Lifei Translation translation Lifei Translation."
Chen Xuanli's lips curled into a smile, breaking the frozen air.
When the generals of the Dragon Martial Army saw that Lifei Shouyu's archery skills were truly outstanding, they all nodded their heads in admiration. They were all martial artists, and they admired people with true skills the most. Lifei Shouyu had displayed his outstanding archery skills in front of them, so they were naturally convinced.
Lifei Shouyu did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly humbled himself and said that he was just lucky. He wanted to give the Dragon Martial Army generals some face.
"Captain Lifei Shouyu, what is the situation in Dongnu Province? Who is the traitor? What are your plans? I need to know all of this. After all, I am the leader of the army and must be responsible for the lives of my soldiers."
Chen Xuanli did not reject Ang Lee's plan. Before leaving the capital, Emperor Li Longji had told him to help Ang Lee and be Ang Lee's shield.
However, he also had his own conditions. He needed to know everything. Ang Lee could not hide anything from him, and he could not let him listen to orders without knowing anything. This was his bottom line.
Li Feishou Yu followed Li An's instructions and told Chen Xuanli all the details of the plan. He even told Chen Xuanli the details of the ambush, hoping that Chen Xuanli could fully understand Li An's grand plan.
After listening to Lifei Shouyu's introduction, Chen Xuanli's lips curled into an appreciative smile. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, Li An had actually grasped a large amount of information about the East Woman Kingdom. He had even gained the trust of the Second Minister, the Third Minister, and the Fifth Minister, and had completely occupied the dominant position in the Queen's City, suppressing the other forces to the point that they could not even raise their heads.
"Haha, Li Xiaowei's game of chess is really big. Even this general is one of the chess pieces. This plan is very good. All aspects are considered very well. This general will do a good job as this chess piece and help Li Xiaowei achieve great merit."
Chen Xuanli nodded and agreed to cooperate with Ang Lee.
"Thank you, Great General."
Lifei Shouyu was overjoyed and bowed.
"Great General, the Tibetan Border Army has a total of ten thousand soldiers. If the ambush plan is leaked, wouldn't our three thousand soldiers be in danger? I think we should transfer more soldiers into the East Maiden Kingdom to prevent any accidents."
Chen Xuanli thought for a while and nodded. "Tianbao Army and Pingrong Army have three thousand soldiers each in Yazhou. I can move them over. This way, our military strength will not be weaker than the Tibetans. Even if the ambush plan is leaked, we will not be in danger."
"Great General, the more soldiers there are, the more difficult it is to hide. I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Lifei Shouyu interrupted. This was also Ang Lee's opinion. In Ang Lee's plan, as long as Chen Xuanli's three thousand elite soldiers entered Dongnu Province on time, it would be enough. In such a dangerous place like the Zimu Road, there was no need for too many soldiers to ambush. If they wanted to win, they should work hard on hiding. If the ambush plan is leaked, even if the Tang Army had more soldiers, it would still be difficult for them to defeat the Tibetan border army. Ang Lee's meticulous plan will be declared useless.
"This is Captain Li's idea."
"Yes."
"But I am responsible for the lives of the soldiers. If the plan is leaked, it will be difficult for the three thousand soldiers to fight against the Tibetan border army."
"Great General, if the plan is leaked, even if we have ten thousand soldiers, we will only be on par with the Tibetans. In a head-on battle, we will not have much of an advantage. Therefore, to prevent too many soldiers from sacrificing themselves, the ambush plan must not be leaked."
Lifei Shouyu persuaded seriously.
"Then what if the plan is leaked? Does Captain Li have a remedy?"
Lifei Shouyu blurted out, "We will occupy the Zimu Road first and completely seal off the road that the Tibetans must pass to enter Queen's City. This way, the Tibetans will not be able to pass through. However, this way, the Tibetan border army will be able to retreat."
"If the Tibetans occupy the Zimu Road before us, what should we do?"
"The entire army will retreat to the east of Dongnu Province. After gathering enough soldiers, we will launch a counterattack at Queen's City. This is the worst case scenario."
Chen Xuanli smiled, "Looks like Captain Li has already thought of all the possible scenarios. Fine, since that is the case, I have nothing to worry about. I will do as Captain Li says."
"Great General, I will return to report. Also, I have brought a few soldiers with me. They can lead the way for you."
"Good."
Chen Xuanli nodded and signaled Lifei Shouyu to return.
"Great General, take care. I will take my leave."
Lifei Shouyu cupped his fist and bowed, then turned and left.
"Great General, do we really have to listen to Captain Li's orders?"
The generals felt weird. A captain leading a group of generals, how could they not feel weird?
Chen Xuanli sighed, "This is His Majesty's order. I will only listen to His Majesty."
"Yes, Great General."
Seeing Chen Xuanli bring up the Emperor, the generals felt much better. They were obeying the Emperor's orders and not Ang Lee's.
"Oh right, let the six thousand soldiers of the Tianbao and Pingrong armies gather at the Dongnu Province border. Also, make it look like we are going to reinforce Dongnu Province at any time to attract the attention of the Tibetan spies."
Chen Xuanli suddenly ordered.
"Great General, you mean to sneak into Dongnu Province without anyone noticing."
Chen Xuanli smiled and nodded, "The core of Captain Li's plan is for our three thousand soldiers to not be discovered by the enemy. Therefore, I have to do my best to achieve this."
The generals all nodded in respect.
Although following Ang Lee's orders made the generals of the Dragon Martial Army uncomfortable, they did agree with Ang Lee's plan. If everything went smoothly, the three thousand Dragon Martial Army would be able to defeat the Tibetan army. This way, they would be able to make a lot of contributions. As generals, who wouldn't want to make contributions?
After the sky darkened, the three thousand Dragon Warrior Army soldiers split up and headed south, then west. They followed the abandoned paths of the East Maiden Kingdom and sneaked into the territory of the East Maiden Kingdom. The soldiers of the East Maiden Kingdom guarding the pass were all the confidants of Zhao Wufu, the Fifth Minister. For this reason, the three thousand soldiers of the Tang Army successfully passed through and headed towards the Queen City.
Due to the rugged mountain roads, the movement of the Tang Army soldiers was very slow. Many Tang Army soldiers fell and were injured on the mountain roads. However, this difficulty was not a problem for the Tang Dynasty army.
Even though they weren't part of the border army, they could still be considered the elites of the entire Dragon Martial Army. Even though their combat experience couldn't compare to the border army, their weapons and equipment were far superior to the border army. They were a force that could fight, and they were completely capable of defeating the Tibetan army.

Outside the palace of Dongnu Province, a black shadow quietly passed by. Then, there was a burst of birds chirping. In the dark night, it was extremely strange.
Soon, a woman quietly opened the side door of the palace. She stretched her head out and looked outside. Then, she quietly ran out.
"Ha Mi Guo, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
The woman who walked out of the palace was Zhao Wufu.
She was the spy that Zhao Daiwen placed beside Zhao Yefu.
Ha Mi Guo slowly turned around, "Since I'm looking for you so late at night, there must be something urgent."
"I understand. What is it?"
