Xiao Zhengtai didn't want to pay attention to the butcher's verbal abuse at this time. It was just a dying person's venting. If he had to even care about this, he would be a little too ungraceful.

However, how could Cheng Chumo and others allow the butcher to talk nonsense there? Your Highness is so arrogant that he can ignore this mess, but they can't do it. They picked his tendons on the spot and stuffed them with smelly socks in his mouth, so as not to let out heart-wrenching screams and constant curses.

When they returned to Lanzhou City, the soldiers neatly placed the wealth they brought back in the yard. Xiao Zhengtai was very relieved and did not need to count it.

I returned to the room and wrote quickly. It has been several days since I left Chang'an. It was time to give Li Er a reassurance.

Now the largest robber leader here has been sentenced to death, and there are no need to worry about the remaining robbers on the other hills.

Five days later, outside Xuanzheng Hall.

Wang Defeng ran over quickly, quickly pushed open the closed door and broke in, came to Li Er, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, news has come from Lanzhou."

“Support it!”

When Li Er heard that it was a matter of Lanzhou, he was immediately interested and hurriedly asked to extend his hand to ask for a secret letter.

Since the start of this bet, more than half a month has passed without Xiao Zhengtai being with him. Li Er is really not used to it.

Li Er did not keep the matter of robbers in Lanzhou at all. He had full confidence in Chi Nu's methods.

"I am worthy of being my Qilin Son. I can achieve such great achievements in such a short time."

After reading the above content, a faint smile appeared on Li Er's cheek, and things were progressing much faster than he had imagined.

However, Li Er was very moved by the contents of this secret letter. Xiao Zhengtai didn't mean to ask for credit. After briefly explaining the bandit suppression, what was left was the concern for his father and mother, which greatly moved Li Er.

After pondering for a moment, Li Erfen wrote four words on the paper in a quick writing style: "Let go and do it!"

Even he could not guess his true intentions in Xiao Zhengtai's idea, but Li Er knew very well that no matter what decision Xiao Zhengtai made, his starting point was for the benefit of the entire Tang Dynasty, and he only supported this.

This secret letter made Li Er feel much better. After putting down the wolf hair in his hand, he looked at Wang De not far away and said softly: "Has the King of Wei ever sent a message back?"

As the younger brother, Xiao Zhengtai has already won the first battle. As an older brother who is unwilling to accept, he must have made some moves! By time, they should have arrived at Dongting Lake a few days ago.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei did convey the news back before, but the content above was really useless. It was all about the cunning of the water bandits, leaving the King of Wei and others without traces. Until now, they have not made any progress.

And he was attacked by the Daoshui bandits many times, and lost many soldiers, and..."

Wang De briefly told the story of King Wei, but in the end he stopped and didn't dare to continue speaking.

"speak!"

Hearing the completely different news from the two, Li Er just relieved a lot of mood, and once again, there must be something he didn't know about here, otherwise Wang De wouldn't be so hesitant.

"In order to establish prestige in the army, the King of Wei actually killed the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to establish his authority!"

Wang De dared not hide it, so he hurriedly told the taboo.

Such news almost made Li Er run away on the spot.

This is how much you have to mess up to make such a ridiculous decision.

Li Er understood that those arrogant soldiers of the King of Wei who had never led troops to fight would not obey him wholeheartedly, but he never expected that the King of Wei would choose such extreme means to control this team.

Li Er saw the power of the ten thousand soldiers. Even now he could say that as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he might not be able to command these ten thousand soldiers.

They are Xiao Zhengtai people. Even if they give their lives for Xiao Zhengtai, they will never complain. Through the battle against Goguryeo, Li Er understood.

These ten thousand people are the elite troops of the entire Tang Dynasty. No team can compete with it. They are also princes.

A soldier who can be willing to pursue someone, and the soldiers of the entire Tang Dynasty will sharpen their heads and go in, and it has become a myth in the army.

Another, in order to allow the soldiers to cooperate with their actions, they will use their own identities to force the soldiers. Now, they use their own blood to establish their prestige for themselves.

In comparison, you can see through which one is higher and which one is lower at a glance.

"This is a shameful thing."

Since the bet has begun, Li Er really doesn't plan to interfere in this matter. Otherwise, with his killing of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, Li Er will destroy his position as a general.

He knew that King Wei was arrogant and had never been convinced by Xiao Zhengtai. As for this bet, Li Er also wanted to make King Wei clear up. Compared with Xiao Zhengtai, he was actually nothing.

Xiao Zhengtai, who is in Lanzhou, can naturally receive news from Dongting Lake, but Xiao Zhengtai is really uninterested in the progress there.

He never took Li Tai seriously, nor regarded him as an enemy. It can even be said that he wanted to compare with himself, is he worthy?

However, when Xiao Zhengtai received the four words Li Er, he truly smiled. Lanzhou's development mission will be unstoppable.

The first thing to do is to renovate the city walls of Lanzhou and ensure that the fortress is standard. Once the development is successful, it will definitely become a must-fight place for military strategists.

Three days later, Xiao Zhengtai walked out of the room with a look of fatigue, summoned Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu over, briefly told the two of them about his plan, and then sent them to Chang'an to quickly implement the plan.

As for the spoils seized by the bandits, Xiao Zhengtai did not mean to transport them to Chang'an. The expenses required to develop the entire Lanzhou are definitely astronomical.

These are all the people's fat and ointment collected by the robbers. Now, Xiao Zhengtai is still very happy to see it when he returns it to the people in another way.

At the same time, the majesty of the imperial court can be established again in the minds of the people.

On the other hand, three months passed in a blink of an eye. King Wei suffered repeated setbacks there, and the seemingly simple task of suppressing bandits caused him to suffer.

The once and once sneak attacks of the water bandits caused great trouble for them and also lost a large number of soldiers. In recent times, the water bandits became more and more arrogant and frequently committed crimes, which made Li Tai very angry and felt extremely distressed.

He still doesn't know what the achievements of Xiao Zhengtai are. It's been three months since he has not seen the dawn of victory yet. Is that position really going to slip away by his side? He is unwilling to give up.
