Huang Zhengqian tried to win this war in a civilized way, but Rong Di didn't like him.

In several battles in succession, Huang Zhengqian did not get any advantage from Xu Tu, instead he lost troops and generals, and his morale was greatly damaged.

Later, Huang Zhengqian no longer made any gentlemen's agreement before going to war.

He also imitated Xu Tu's sneak attack on the Lanchao barracks, and attacked Rong Di's barracks.

Because of Huang Taifu's reputation, even Rong Di knew that he was a polite little old man, so he relaxed his defenses on his barracks.

Huang Taifu rarely launched a surprise attack, which caught the officers and soldiers of Rongdi by surprise. This time Huang Taifu won the battle.

Since then, Taifu Huang has been fond of the sneak attack technique, and has used it several times.

Rong Di was not a fool who stood up and let Huang Taifu beat him. Later, Huang Taifu did not succeed so easily.

Once again, the prince was waiting in the big tent for the military news from ahead, the prince was sitting upright, but Taifu Huang was restless and looked outside the tent frequently.

Li Li was a soldier guarding the prince outside the tent, watching Huang Zhengqian come in and out, his legs were shaking from running, so he persuaded: "Teacher Huang, you should go into the tent and rest for a while."

Huang Zhengqian glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, my son, the rivers and mountains are uncertain, the country is unstable, what face does the old man have to rest!"

Li Lisui shut up and said nothing.

Li Li had to admit that in terms of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Huang Zhengqian was completely sincere and never cheated.

In the past, Emperor Heng doted on a singer surnamed Xiao, named her Empress Zhaoyi, stayed in Xiao Zhaoyi's palace every night, and did not go to court for three consecutive days.

Huang Zhengqian gathered all the officials to kneel and sit outside the Hall of Martial Arts, and asked the emperor to abolish Xiao Zhaoyi who had bewitched the Sacred Heart.

Xiao Zhaoyi was beautiful and gentle, how could Emperor Heng obey Huang Zhengqian so easily, so he ordered the personal eunuch to go over and persuade Huang Zhengqian with good words.

Who would have thought that Huang Zhengqian looked up to the sky and cried loudly, shouting, "If the Holy Majesty does not listen to the old minister's advice, what is the use of the old minister's life!"

There was a muffled sound, and his head hit the pillar, and after the collision was dripping with blood, he passed out.

Fortunately, Huang's family had a strong family background, they used precious medicinal materials like water, and with the rare supplements sent by the palace, Huang Zhengqian's life was saved.

After this battle, Emperor Heng was probably frightened, so he went to admit his mistake to Huang Zhengqian in person, and demoted Xiao Zhaoyi by two ranks, and let her live in a remote palace.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhaoyi was pregnant at that time, and she was very worried during the pregnancy and locked up in that dark place. The baby boy she gave birth was so small that she almost didn't survive.

This is Hengdi's fifteenth son - Li Luo.

At the beginning, Emperor Heng thought of Xiao Zhaoyi's meritorious service in giving birth, and asked her to bring the little prince back to live in the original palace.But as he grew older, Li Luo was found to be a fool.

Emperor Heng regarded Li Luo as unknown, and sent Xiao Zhaoyi and Li Luo to the cold palace together.

Xiao Zhaoyi was in poor health after giving birth, and died within a few years. Li Luo was lonely and lived with Li Li, which made Li Li have to be a brother to play with and pretend to be a mother.

Therefore, Li Li and Li Luo's brotherhood, in the final analysis, has to thank Huang Taifu.

His thoughts drifted away, and he was pulled back by a rush of horseshoes.

"Report~"

The scout who was in charge of conveying the military information dismounted and hurried over with a serious expression.

Li Li personally opened the tent for him.

Huang Taifu asked "how is the military situation ahead", while chasing the scouts anxiously, all the way to the tent.

Naturally, the scouts would not directly report first-hand military information to Huang Zhengqian, he had to report to the prince first.

After letting the two of them in, Li Li covered the curtain of the big tent for them.

Although he is just a small soldier, but the frontline fighters are all brothers who have stood shoulder to shoulder, how can he be indifferent.

Fortunately, although others could not enter, the voice in the big tent could be heard clearly.

"I want to report to Your Highness, our army has won a complete victory in sneak attacking the enemy's camp, burned the enemy's food and grass, and harvested more than [-] prisoners."

"Okay! I finally won once, Taifu, you can rest assured now." It was Li Yu who spoke, his voice was very happy, and the frustration of many days was dispelled.

The scout paused, and then said: "But the subordinates found that a group of soldiers and horses tried their best to escort a person to flee, and the person surrounded in the middle fell out of a short knife during the fight, which was decorated with gems. This person may be a soldier. Senior General Di."

"Where is the dagger now?" Huang Zhengqian asked anxiously.

"This subordinate has the dagger on his body, and present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."

The big tent was quiet for a while, everyone should be observing the dagger.

Li Li stood there thinking. Since the scouts said they had won a complete victory, it meant that the sneak attack was won with ease. After the previous few lessons, would Rong Di still be so stupid?

How could General Rong Di appear in a remote military camp instead of staying in the command camp, and so coincidentally dropped his dagger...

Li Li always felt that this incident was weird.

Talking again in the big tent.

"Teacher, can I let the minister take a look?" Yue Qingbai, who was also in the tent, but was always taciturn and made people ignore his existence, asked Huang Zhengqian cautiously.

"you?"

"I have a little understanding of the graphic characters of the Rongdi tribe, which may come in handy."

"Okay, take it."

After a while, Huang Zhengqian said impatiently, "Master Yue, how do you feel?"

"Back to Taifu, the totem carved on the handle of this knife is only suitable for the family of the leader of the Rongdi tribe. This knife is extraordinarily gorgeous, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have. It must be..."

"Why?"

Yue Qingbai emphasized his tone, "I don't dare to assert lightly, I just speculate that the owner of this knife may be Xu Tu."

"Xu Tu? The fleeing person is really Xu Tu!" Li Yu said excitedly and emotionally.

It could be heard that Li Yu wanted to kill Xutu quickly, so that he could return to court as soon as possible.

He doesn't like the border, not only because of the wind and sand all over the sky, but also because there is no Yue Muting, whom he yearns for day and night.

Huang Zhengqian patted his thigh, regretting and said: "It's a pity that I never chased after him!"

The scout said: "Xutu is injured, and there are only remnants around him, so he must not be able to run very far."

"Teacher Huang, what do you think I should do?" Li Yu was extremely anxious.

"Your Highness, we still have fine cavalry troops, and we still have time to catch up!"

"Well then, according to the Taifu's words, I will give the order."

"Brother Huang, you can't order, there is fraud in it."

Li Li couldn't bear it outside the tent, so he had to defy orders and go in to stop him.

Huang Zhengqian: "Prince Fourteen, who gave you permission to leave your post without authorization?"

Li Li couldn't care less, the moment he heard Xutu's name, his guess was confirmed in his heart——

Xu Tu was deliberately making a trap, waiting for them to drill.

Huang Zhengqian was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Prince Li Yu.

"Little Fourteen, do you think there is fraud in it, do you have any evidence?"

Li Li told the emperor all he knew about Xu Tu. From the several confrontations between him and Xu Tu, Xu Tu was extremely pity for his life. He failed to assassinate Xu Tu once, so it is impossible for Xu Tu to be unguarded.

Li Yu frowned and looked at Huang Zhengqian.

Huang Zhengqian was full of sarcasm, and said to Li Li: "What the Fourteenth Prince said is just speculation, do you have evidence to prove it?"

Li Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "No."

Huang Zhengqian had the upper hand, and fired like a cannonball, "This time the camp was robbed, it was our secret operation, how could Xu Tu know in advance? Besides, His Royal Highness also has to go to each camp to inspect the soldiers and check the food and grass on time. Is it necessary to slaughter that fellow?" No? Why is it impossible for him to appear there? Besides, even if it is a fraud, we have several times more troops than them, so why should we be afraid?"

Li Li was speechless.

Perhaps there were spies in the army, or some other reason let Xutu know about their actions.

If Li Li was given time, Li Li might be able to find out the reason.

But now, everything is just his intuition.

"But, but," Li Li has already determined that it is a fraud, and he will never give up persuasion easily, so he can only lower his posture and say from a conservative standpoint, "My brother thinks that the poor should not be chased, and the external terrain is complicated. Let’s not mention it for the time being, what if we get stuck in the desert?”

What Li Li said was not unreasonable, the prince put on that usual embarrassed face again.

"At this time and at that time, are we going to give up the good opportunity to kill Xu Tu?" Huang Zhengqian shouted, "How many people of our Lan Dynasty have been slaughtered by Xu Tu, as long as there is a chance, we can't make mistakes..."

"Teacher Huang, don't use the people, the country, and all your high-sounding reasons to prevaricate me!" Li Li was already on the verge of fury, and the depression in his heart had accumulated to the extreme, and he couldn't help but yelled out his heart.

"Fourteenth prince, you go out." Yue Qingbai said with a cold face, "Did you not listen to what the teacher said?"

Li Li glanced at Yue Qingbai, then turned his head to stare at Huang Zhengqian, "Teacher, what are you in a hurry for?"

Huang Zhengqian was so dizzy by Li Li's anger, he fell down on the grand teacher's chair, gasped for a while, and then looked down at Li Li, his voice seemed to be pulled out by his vocal cords, shrill and piercing.

"Fourteenth prince, do you hate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much? You must watch him lose the battle with King Rui, and die without a whole body. Are you satisfied!"

Li Li was stunned. It turned out that this battle was not for the people, but for rights.

He looked at Brother Huang, only to see Brother Huang sitting in the main seat dejectedly, with a sad face.

Huang Zhengqian said hoarsely: "As long as we win this battle and take the head of Xu Tu, Rong Di and all the dragons will disperse without a leader. Once the border crisis is resolved, the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be difficult to shake. No matter how much the emperor wants to make King Li Rui, there is no other way." .”

The prince looked at Li Li and said, "Little Fourteen, help me."

Li Li's heart was ashamed.

How can I be considered as helping the emperor?

Just don't care, don't ask, let him deploy troops.

Li Li looked at Yue Qingbai, his teacher, with empty eyes.

He didn't believe that Yue Qingbai couldn't see through, and this pursuit would do more harm than good.

Yue Qingbai just sighed and said to him: "Go back, go back."

Li Li was top-heavy, his head seemed to have been squeezed desperately, and his soul had already left his body.

As soon as he stepped out of the big tent, he knelt down on the yellow earth, his strength was exhausted, and he knelt like a beggar.

The innocent scout who had heard the great secret was not like Li Li who could be let go. After a while, the guards carried his body out and threw it away.

The cavalry passed by Li Li's sides one by one. They were selected thousands of times and selected in layers to become cavalry.

They are still alive.

They are dead.

Five days.

Thirty thousand fine riders were killed in the desert.

As Li Li expected, they were all ambushed by Xutu.

Xutu took advantage of the terrain and the wind and sand to make them lost and trapped, and finally had mental illusions, committed suicide or fought with each other to death.

When Li Yu first heard the news, he sat down blankly, forgetting his sorrow.

Yue Qingbai couldn't stop sighing, and Huang Zhengqian burst into tears.

After Li Yu grieved, he asked Huang Zhengqian, "Teacher, we have no soldiers to use, what should we do?"

Huang Zhengqian wiped away his tears, "Your Highness, for the present plan, we have to go to rescue the soldiers."

Li Li sneered, "Does Lan Chao still have soldiers to move?"

Since the founding of the Lan Dynasty, culture has been valued over martial arts, and he and a few generals have trained the soldiers at the border. Not to mention the defenders in the south of the Yangtze River, can they still hold up swords and kill the enemy?

"Yes." Huang Zhengqian's eyes sparkled with hope, "Go and borrow troops from King Ning!"

The old King Ning is dead, and the current King Ning is his son.

Xiao sweep.
