Qin Haotian is a grandmaster-level figure, and there are a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes who are stranded in the city, if they are organized, it will be a big force. This has always been what Nangong Qingwu is worried about.

Besides, An Shunzhi must not die.

Nangong Qingwu hesitated, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the city, and the wolf smoke was bursting in the night. Li Chengtang said with a smile: "Your Excellency has been going on for a long time, and now that the Tang Dynasty's 'Xuanjia Army' is coming, you can't leave if you want to, and you will be convicted of rebellion by the imperial court in the future!"

Nangong Qingwu was suspicious for a while, not knowing whether what Li Chengtang said was true or false, but the sound of killing outside the city made him shake his faith.

"Good! The people of the rivers and lakes have a promise, but the old man wants to ask you to fight alone, but dare to fight! ”

Li Chengtang calmed himself down, and said with a smile: "At that time, Li Chengtang will definitely go to the appointment alone!" ”

Wang Zhongji was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Chengtang.

After Li Chengtang finished speaking, he threw An Shunzhi to Nangong Qingwu. Nangong Qingwu mentioned An Shunzhi and swept away.

Li Chengtang saw that Nangong Jingwu had walked away, and suddenly his face was pale like a deflated ball, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was frightened, and Ran Jingjing and Ayiyi, who came with Qin Haotian, both threw themselves down in front of Li Chengtang to check the situation.

Qin Haotian held Li Chengtang and put his true qi into his body, temporarily stabilizing his injuries.

Li Chengtang said weakly: "Shicai has exhausted his internal strength in the battle with Qiu Fangcheng, and he has slapped this Nangong Lao'er again, and he has already been injured, I was afraid that he would find out just now, and I have been strengthening my true qi for so long, it is estimated that I will not be able to fight again for a long time." ”

Wang Zhongsi asked: "Li Shaoxia just returned An Shunzhi to him, will the thief retreat?" ”

Li Chengtang said with a strong face: "Only a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and if we continue to fight, we will definitely lose, and even if the 'horizontal knife battalion' outside the city comes to rescue, there are only less than 2,000 people, which only increases the casualties." Now that the enemy army has been beaten by us, we can take advantage of the situation to let them retreat! Even if they don't retreat, we still have Jiu'er in hand, and An Shunzhi is not afraid of giving it to him, besides, this old man cherishes his reputation very much, and he must not be wrong to say that he will withdraw from the army, after all, there is still a suspicious army of the 'Hengdao Battalion' on the side. ”

After Li Chengtang finished speaking, he was a little out of breath and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Qin Haotian knew that he was extremely seriously injured, so he asked him not to speak for the time being. Ran Jingjing cried out anxiously. Ayiyi was also seriously injured, and looked at Li Chengtang with a look of concern on her face.

After listening to Li Chengtang's analysis, Wang Zhongsi calmed down slightly.

Half an hour later, the sound of trumpets was heard outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city came to report that the attacking enemy troops had retreated.

Wang Zhonghei was overjoyed, and he had a feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he was extremely grateful to Li Chengtang in his heart. If Huaiyuan is lost, and then An Lushan reverses black and white, saying that he is a gang with the rivers and lakes, uniting inside and outside, and wants to be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Huaiyuan is lost, he will definitely be beheaded by the nine clans of Zhulian and the whole family.

Li Chengtang's exploits are not only for the Tang Dynasty, but also for the whole family of his Wang family.

After the battle, more than 7,000 enemies were annihilated in this battle, less than 4,000 defenders were left in the city, and 8,000 people were lost in the Huaiyuan garrison. Wang Zhongsi knew that most of the enemies he destroyed were the work of Li Chengtang and them, and he couldn't help but be very worried about the combat strength of his soldiers. So he decided to form an elite army and practice every day, of course, this is a later story.

The "Procuratorate" attacked from the south of the city to the north of the city, and all the soldiers encountered were elite and strong, and they suffered a lot of losses. After sacrificing six "Procuratorate" experts, there are less than 300 soldiers left in the 1,000 government guards.

Among them, in addition to the nine-stage master Shangguan Chi, who was slightly injured, the eighth-stage master Ran Fei was slashed in the leg this time because of his previous injury, and was carried to Li Chengtang, and it is estimated that he will not be able to move for a while. Meng Lang didn't participate in the battle much because he was seriously injured before, but this time he was not injured and took care of Ran Fei on the side.

Among the people who came from the "Wild Camel Garden", Zhu Yi, a master of the eighth section, was stabbed, but he could still move. Wu Tingting and Wen Yan, the masters of the seventh stage, both had bleak faces, their bodies were covered in blood, and they didn't know if they were injured, but fortunately they could still walk.

Among these people, only Qin Haotian and Shangguan Chi were not seriously injured, and they could fight again.

Everyone was first arranged to bandage their wounds in the pavilion.

When the time was close to midnight, Wang Zhongsi finished arranging the deployment of the city defense and came to the pavilion to visit Li Chengtang. Wang Zhonghei also came with Liu Jinghao, the ranger general of the "Xuanjia Army".

Liu Jinghao saw the Turkic light cavalry retreat before entering the city, because the border army and the garrison in the city had their own discipline, so he did not bring his own soldiers, only one person to meet Wang Zhonghe. After hearing about Li Chengtang's situation, he was very worried, so he came with him to visit.

According to Wang Zhongsi, it was only when Liu Jinghao led the "Hengdao Battalion" to arrive that he disrupted the enemy's position. The Turkic soldiers were already afraid of the "Horizontal Knife Battalion", and they didn't know how many reinforcements had arrived, coupled with the power of Ayiyi's arrow in front, they had the intention of retreating. The "Hengdao Battalion" pursued from afar, and only returned to Huaiyuan after confirming the retreat.

At this time, Li Chengtang had already relieved his strength, but he was still extremely weak, and said to Liu Jinghao when he heard the words: "Thank you General Liu for your help." ”

Liu Jinghao hurriedly saluted, very respectful, and said: "Rengong is righteous for the country and lives for the people, how dare you say thank you, just let Rengong be injured so much, which makes Jinghao very uneasy!" ”

Wang Zhongsi saw that Liu Jinghao admired Li Chengtang so much, and his demeanor was also very respectful, just because his prestige in the first battle of the grassland was like this, and his heart was more accepting in his heart, and he also said some words of concern and compliment.

Li Chengtang looked at Liu Jinghao and Wang Zhonghei, knowing that the two of them would definitely be his two major helpers in the future, and said in harmony: "Although Chengtang is from the rivers and lakes, but say a word to the two adults, although Lord Wang and General Liu are one inside and one outside, they are both the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, and it is good to cooperate more in the future, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, now that An Lushan's conspiracy has been exposed, there will be action next, maybe it will reverse black and white to the court, it is best for the two adults to write to the court together, explain the situation, and expose An Lushan's wolf ambitions!" ”

Wang Zhonghei has only been in office for a year, and he does not have much disagreement with the border army, but the garrison is at odds with the border army because of the perennial relationship. Li Chengtang's words pointed out the direction for him, and after this battle, he thought it was even more so.

Especially Li Chengtang's last words, he took precautions and let the two join forces to report to the court first and be invincible. An Lushan was deeply favored by the imperial court, and if the two joined forces, even if they couldn't bring him down, they could make Lingzhou no longer suffer from threats.

Wang Zhongsi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This son is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a strategy, and the future will be limitless. Although he is a second-class member of the imperial court, he has a heart of attachment.

On the second day, although Wang Zhongsi tried his best to keep him, everyone moved back to the "Wild Camel Garden" to recuperate. Wang Zhongsi arranged for two hundred soldiers to guard him, so he could be relieved. It seems that he is regarded as the most important person, and I am afraid that even the minister of the Qin Mission will not be treated like this.

In Huaiyuan City, Zhenwei General Tian Chong received a slap from Nangong Qingwu, was knocked off the city wall, and has been unconscious, fortunately, there is a military deputy general Lei Jinbao arranged on this day, and nothing major happened.

In the afternoon, the reinforcements from the two towns mobilized by Wang Zhongsi also arrived in Huaiyuan, further strengthening Huaiyuan's defense. However, Wang Zhongsi was still worried about the combat strength of the garrison, he listened to Li Chengtang's advice, became friends with Liu Jinghao, and invited the brothers of the "Hengdao Battalion" to go into the city to train the Huaiyuan garrison, and now the two armies are fighting hotly.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the people with minor injuries in the "Wild Camel Garden" have basically recovered. Only Li Chengtang and Ayiyi did not recover very well.

Although Li Chengtang tried his best to kill Qiu Fangcheng, the other party was also in the realm of a grandmaster after all, and Qiu Fangcheng's sword not only caused him physical scars, but also damaged his heart. Later, Nangong Qingwu made matters worse, causing his heart to shift, and I was afraid that it would take a long time to condense. But the good thing is that his face is no longer so pale, and he can already get out of bed and walk.

Ayiyi is even more serious, she has been practicing martial arts for a short time, this time she forcibly exhausted the true qi of the whole body and shot that arrow, although the power is huge, but the heart is also extremely damaged, there is a state of depletion of true qi, it is difficult to reunite, she has been suffering from the pain of backlash, her face is very bad, and Jiu'er has been with her.

Jiu'er lived in the "Wild Camel Garden" for more than a month before breaking up with everyone and leaving, because she knew that only if she was here, Nangong Qingwu and those people would not trouble Li Chengtang.

This month, Huaiyuan City has been much more stable, and there are a lot fewer people in the rivers and lakes. The news that the "Dragon Sword" has been snatched by the "Little Lonely Mountain" has long been spread, and now the "Little Lonely Mountain" has become the target of the rivers and lakes, and the lonely and endless have not come to Huaiyuan to trouble them.

Even if there were several waves of people who came to inquire about the news of the "Flying Sword Technique", they were killed and blocked by the officers and soldiers of the escort or the people of the "Procuratorate". Now they have become the object of key protection, and no one dares to think about it anymore.

Li Chengtang's identity as the small sect master of the "Procuratorate" had already been known to Qin Haotian, Ran Fei and others, because Li Chengtang felt that there was no need to hide them anymore. However, they did not know the original intention and purpose of the "Procuratorate", and only knew that this organization had a large number of personnel and great power, so big that even the two generals of the "Xuanjia Army" were only small masters.

This month, Wang Zhongsi and Liu Jinghao's joint letter also had results, the court belittled An Lushan, ordered him to enter Beijing for investigation, it is said that An Lushan cried all the way into the capital, because the prime minister Li Linfu tried to protect himself from death, and stayed in the capital for the post of the distant festival envoy, almost became a hostage, pledged in Chang'an.

Wang Zhongsi was rewarded for defending the city and resisting the enemy and killing 7,000 Turks, and appointed Wang Zhongsi as the envoy of Hexi, Hedong, and Longyoujie, reducing the fiefdom of An Lushan and expanding the jurisdiction of Wang Zhonghe. And Liu Jinghao was promoted from the fifth rank general to the fourth grade.

Wang Zhongsi was very grateful to Li Chengtang, he knew that all this was given by Li Chengtang, so he told him as soon as possible. He made it clear that he would do everything in his power if he was sent in the future.

They didn't know that this battle not only delayed An Lushan's rebellion for more than ten years, but also made An Lushan Group hate them to the core. There is a comment in the history books that "Wang Zhonghei will not die, and An Lushan will not rebel".

Of course, this battle also planted more threats for them personally.

After a few more days, the old general Liu Mu returned from Longyou County, and Liu Mu was accompanied by Xu Shengcheng, the master of the great sect.

The Tubo rebellion in Longyou County was just an illusion created by Nangong Qingwu, and the purpose was only to transfer the "Xuanjia Army", and Li Chengtang already knew about this. It was in vain that they traveled thousands of miles.

Xu Shengcheng checked Li Chengtang's injury, and when he saw that he showed signs of recovery, he was relieved, and praised Li Chengtang's immediate reaction. It's just that I'm very annoyed by the loss of the "Dragon Sword". The "Dragon Sword" is a symbol of the "imperial power" of the Li clan in Lingnan, which has great historical significance, so it dispatched manpower, rearranged it, and ordered it to be recovered as soon as possible.

Xu Shengcheng is well-informed, has mixed martial arts, and his medical skills are relatively sophisticated. After checking Ayiyi's injury, he said to Li Chengtang: "Little sect master, Miss Yiyi's injury is more serious, and the injury of backlash can not be healed in a few days, so it is better to be brought back to Xingchen Island by the old minister for recuperation, some medicinal materials on Xingchen Island are just beneficial to the injury of backlash, what do you think?" ”

The eleven masters of the "Prosecutor's Yuan" are all descendants inherited from ancient times, and they have always regarded themselves as ministers to the Lingnan Li family. But Qin Haotian and Ran Fei didn't know, and they were a little surprised to hear it.

Li Chengtang smiled and deliberately said to them, "Grandpa Xu, although our Li family was an emperor in ancient times, it was a long time ago, and in the future, there is no need to call Chengtang an old minister." ”

Xu Shengcheng suddenly became serious, "One day is a minister, the world is a minister, in the future, the little sect master will not say such things again!" ”

Qin Haotian and Ran Fei were shocked, Li Chengtang turned out to be the inheritance of the emperor's family, I don't know which dynasty it is?

Ayiyi didn't understand these identities, she was weak at this time, she wanted to cry, and said: "Brother Li, Yiyi is reluctant to let you go!" ”
