<blockquote class="Quote">—raphy of Tan Ji</blockquote>
At dawn the next day, the Northern Han army was finally couards, Li Xian walked through the plains reeking of blood and carnage The entire battlefield was littered with corpses Each dead Northern Han soldier had been stricken with nu up fierce fights Li Xian soon arrived at the center of the battlefield where thehad taken place Several of the corpses had bronze st theeneral Li Xian looked carefully and saw that thehis body to protect a corasped a dagger-axe His battle goas slashed to pieces and coround beside hi its back The horse let out long whinnies, frequently ain
Without Li Xian needing to give the order, soed away theto depart warhorse Li Xian walked over, bending down to take a look He saw that the man still wore a bronze mask Li Xian stretched his hand out and re a delicate and handsoh he was already thirty years old, he was still elegant and refined Years of not being exposed to the sun caused his skin to be excessively pale Even though his eyes were closed, his sorrowful and dismal aura could still be sensed Probably because his face had been covered for so long, there were no bloodstains on his face even though he had undergone a brutal battle His countenance did not have a single hint that he was terrified or indignant at the prospect of death, instead possessing a faint smile, as if he was finally able to relinquish the burdens he had carried
Li Xian sighed softly When he sought to have Tan Ji surrender earlier, although he partially intended to disturb enemy morale, he truly wished to recruit this h this e left a great e of death, his subordinates illing to follow hih thishe was not ruthless by nature It was a pity that this kind of talent was lost
Right when Li Xian was feeling quite piteous, he heard a weak groan Li Xian did not react consciously, although his body retreated one step His bodyguards drew their swords and approached, cautiously protecting the Prince of Qi Everyone listened carefully, not hearing any sound Li Xian racked his aze fell upon Tan Ji’s body, or rather, the person underneath Tan Ji whom his body protected Li Xian ordered hisa member of the Ghost Cavalry underneath Tan Ji Li Xian discovered that although this man had suffered a serious injury, his dire wound was quite shallow Presumably, Tan Ji had used his body to block that blow
Tao Lin, one of the Prince of Qi’s bodyguards, glared coldly at the soldiers ere tidying up the battlefield How could they have not discovered this living person? If soe to assassinate the prince, it would be terrible However, Li Xian did not blame them He walked over and removed the bronzea yet childish face Li Xian unwittingly rester in Tan Ji’s Ghost Cavalry, going into battle even at such a young age and having responsibility for leading from the front? This kid is truly not simple Come, deliver him to the army doctors and have his wounds treated”
Everyone exchanged looks of dis battled Northern Han for rievances on both sides were as deep as the ocean Although the Yong ar captives, when discovering badly injured enemy soldiers on the field, more likely than not they would be sent on their way or left to die Why was the eneiven htly He understood the baffle that man’s serious expression as he lectured, Li Xian could not help but snicker In a bright voice, he stated, “Previously, our enrave, naturally requiring retribution for all grievances However, who in this world does not have parents? Killing one man causes an entire family to mourn All of you, remember this The Eht now, are citizens of Northern Han In the future, they will be citizens of Great Yong Although weapons are merciless upon the battlefield and death is a coour own citizens? This Prince transmits a military command From now on, all those who kill prisoners without permission will be punished with death”
The entire arh there were those who did not understand the Prince of Qi’s intentions, everyone understood that ulations were ironclad At this moment, a unit commander stepped out and said, “Marshal, Tan Ji repeatedly sowed devastation upon the people of Zezhou for ’s common people on his hands In addition, many of our comrades in areneral and company to hack his body into mincemeat to reduce the hate in our hearts”
Just as Li Xian was about to voice his agreement, he saw Tan Ji’s corpse out of the corner of his eye, seeing his cal, Li Xian replied, “We warriors of Great Yong have the responsibility of repaying gratitude and the duty to avenge However, once a man has died, all ens difficult for a dead h this , he is a loyal general of Northern Han In addition, he views death as a ho This Prince is full of heartfelt ad that our Great Yong i Jun, prepare a coffin and clean up General Tan’s body After the battle ends, deliver it back to Northern Han”
His face filled with shalanced at hiardless of his crimes, his death is sufficient cooaround Zezhou with no intentions of leaving There’s nothing honorable about bearing grudges against a deador killing Long Tingfei! Tellthe Prince of Qi’s words, the entire arfei! Break the Northern Han arenerals and officers were chanting before the entire army joined in Just now, some of the officers and soldiers were dissatisfied because of the Prince of Qi’s coer had any coht … how could they hter captives? Naturally, the only real way to eliminate the hatred in their hearts was to kill or capture the ene the atmosphere excited by his words, Li Xian added, “Relay anize for one day Tolie”
This time, the entire army responded hoops of joy and approval, as if they itched to get going right then and there Li Xian worried and agonized instead, not knowing the current state of the battle at Qinze
On the night of the seventh day of the eleventh month, within the marshal’s tent of the Northern Han arfei’s haughty shadow elongated His gaze never left the letter upon his desk This was a letter that was found upon a secret Yong st the scouts whoer’s martial arts were for pursued for a hundred li by Northern Han scouts, he had been surrounded Even at death, he refused to surrender Just before death, he had even tried to destroy the letter, but was prevented fro so by the experts from the Devil Sect This letter fei rather that this letter was fake Although the wording of the letter was a bit a that Long Tingfei was unwilling to believe He picked up the letter once ain
<blockquote class="Quote">I have received your letter and see the half-hearted nature of your words No of nu to see You are the enemy commander’s trusted lieutenant If you can act, the Northern Han army will be defeated Therefore, victory and defeat is of utmost importance If you can win, there is no need to continue our discussion If I win, then you can turn froht This battle’s victory or defeat is not at Qinze, but on the supply lines You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders; sir, please make all efforts</blockquote>
This letter was not addressed to anyone and had no signature, only possessing a private seal The seal said, “Cold Courtyard Hermit” However, fro official in Great Yong Looking at the elegant and leisurely style of the characters, Long Tingfei concluded that it was likely fro Zhe In addition, when Jiang Zhe was staying at the then-Prince of Yong’s residence, he had resided at the Cold Courtyard Long Tingfei once had the opportunity to see some of the poetry that was produced fro Zhe had briefly claimed the title of the “Cold Courtyard Herh this letter only spoke of the iested that one of Long Tingfei’s trusted subordinates had the intention to rebel, but avering and waiting until the battle ended before fei did not suspect that this was an atte Zhe to write a letter to Jing Chi—who Zhe handling this fei not suspect an insidious motive?
As a result, when he first saw the contents of the letter, Long Tingfei did not believe it coardless of what happened, this letter would not have any ieh neither side had the intention of fighting a decisive battle, Long Tingfei had noticed froinal opponent The Prince of Qi’s battle style was like an energetic and raging inferno that could conquer all obstacles As for his current opponent, he was a bit hesitant and handicapped at the beginning, but noas as flexible, tenacious, and ever-changing as water Although Long Tingfei and his subordinates all assuradually risen in Long Tingfei’sZhe was a scholar who had never been in battle It was highly unlikely that the Prince of Qi handed over Zhe However, Long Tingfei absolutely did not believe that the Prince of Qi was absent within the ene him, was there an eneht about it, the fei became He finally ca toement Unless the Prince of Qi took co in this manner
At the very sa a conference with the gathered generals inside the Yong enca to his left fro in a chair, dozing Although there was no obvious change in his posture, alht, he had skillfully hidden his face in the dark where the la his closed eyes Xuan Song was touched and also filled with admiration These last few days, he had practically borne the entire responsibility of facing Northern Han’s Long Tingfei by hi hily lazy and indolent army supervisor always see Zhe was not idle In the beginning, he had stifled all those generals who refused to co’s orders Afterwards, he privatelyto review his previous actions andhad full confidence in confronting his opponent while the generals had gradually begun to willingly accept his commands Without this ar to achieve his goals
Seeing Xuan Song’s expression, Xiaoshunzi s Zhe He softly trans The conference is about to end” Finished speaking, he sent a wave of Zhe’s body
After a while, I slooke up Without revealing any flaws, I changedthere listening and wanted to uidly looked at everyone As of now, Xuan Song could co my help As such, I did not pay much attention to this conference However, it would be inappropriate for ’s status was still quite low I touchedthat it had cooled Xiaoshunzi s my stiff arm, I wondered when the conference would end
Just then, a low shout trying to suppress excite before Quan Zu cheerfully rushed in, relaying, “Reporting to the Army Supervisor hness has sent a report of victory Tan Ji’s cohness is already on his way back and should arrive at noon the day after toenerals within the co in each other’s ears Delight was also evident on my face as the first step ofto hness has already won a victory over there, we are reaching the end here Adjunct Xuan, I believe that the Northern Han army will receive news only after several days have passed However, regardless of when they do, I observed today that Long Tingfei’s leadershi+p was a bit odd He is likely already suspicious Adjunct Xuan, there will be no need for you to conceal anything to Northern Han that our Great Yong has an additional general capable of contending with Long Tingfei With this, the morale of the Northern Han army will definitely be shaken In order to raise fei will definitely launch a full frontal assault As long as you are not defeated, this battle will deal a grievouswill depend on you to All of the generals also rose froenerals will strictly abide by Adjunct Xuan’s co was extremely moved However, he was not an ordinary individual, after all As a result, it wasn’t long before he calmed down He replied, “Many thanks for Army Supervisor daren’s deep affection Generals, let’s show the Northern Han ar or two to arreement, happy and cheerful expressions on their faces
The next day, when Long Tingfei saw the banner that the enemy commander displayed, his h he had his suspicions, he was shocked and infuriated to the ut this scene The coed to one with the “Xuan (宣)” character Aside froer see any of the Prince of Qi’s bodyguards or household troops Long Tingfei i him these last few days was not the Prince of Qi If that was the case, where was the Prince of Qi? Long Tingfei did not believe that the Prince of Qi would bypass him and attack Qinzhou, as his communications line had not been broken If that was the case, then the Prince of Qi could only be at the Yong supply ca Chi there but also require the Prince of Qi’s personal presence? The only possibility was to set a trap Thinking of this, Long Tingfei tensed up If that were the case, then Tan Ji …
