In the northern prairie, after Li Tianming led the 5,000 Wuji army to leave, Li Zao did not immediately command the remaining army to start encircling and suppressing, but kept staring at Li Tong closely.

Li Tong had always looked at Li Zheng with disdain, just because he had never looked at this waste third son in his eyes. If it was the Heavenly Dao prince who was born with amazing luck, and the Li Heavenly Mandate who was deeply engraved by the Wei King at this time in all the armies in the northwest, Li Tong would never dare to be so presumptuous.

Three generations of ancestors and grandchildren were slaves in Li Zheng, and they made all kinds of contributions in their lives and were given the surname Li by the master's family, Li Tong can be said to have a status far higher than any subordinate in the Li family, and even some unfavored concubines called Uncle Tong when they saw Li Tong.

And Li Tong, who doesn't know the terrible Li Zai, only knows that Li Zai has been a mildew god since he was a child, and if it weren't for the blessing of Lao Taijun and Li Tianming, it would still be a question whether he would have survived until now. What's more, Li Zheng has never offered advice to Li Tianming alone, and there are even fewer people in the Wei Wang's Mansion who know about it.

Therefore, Li Tong is extremely unhappy with this cripple with low ability, but because of his identity, the whole house does not dare to slack off. It's just that he didn't dare to disobey Li Tianming's order, but it didn't prevent him from working hard.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Tong looked at Li Zai unscrupulously, and used this to delay time, and when the time came, he could not complete the task promised by Li Zai, so that King Wei and the old lady could see the true face of this stinky little brat.

Li Zheng naturally knew that he had been hiding behind the scenes in the past, on the one hand, in order to better protect himself, and on the other hand, he was also used as a killer weapon of the Li family at a critical time, but for some reason the news was leaked.

Almost all the big forces knew that the Li family had a talent in addition to Li Tianming, and the third son Li Zheng who was not inferior to him, so Li Tianming consulted with Li Zheng and asked him to show some means.

On the one hand, it is convenient to control the overall situation when Li Tianming is not in the mansion, and on the other hand, instead of letting those strengths speculate wildly, it is better to take the initiative to expose them, so that at least the deadliest means can be hidden.

This is also the reason why Li Tianming happily left 5,000 Wuji troops for Li Zao to prove himself, Li Tianming believed that with Li Zai's resourcefulness, he would be able to complete the task well. Li Tianming has already done everything that can be done, and the rest is up to Li Zheng himself.

Over the years, Li Tianming has been a little tired of supporting the entire Weiwang Mansion alone, and Li Zai, as the first person to be resourceful in his own pen, is also time to add a burden to him, plus worry about the safety of the house.

Therefore, Li Tianming only commanded Li Tong and then led the army back to his home, believing that Li Zheng's performance would never disappoint him.

Li Zai knew that the arrogant generals of the Wei Wangfu did not agree with him, so after the second brother gave him a chance, he also hoped to use this to deter him.

Thinking of this, Li Zai looked at Li Tong without fear, his eyes were high, full of contempt for the ignorant.

The long-term noble identity and the self-confidence brought by the infallibility of the stratagem, gradually in the eyes of the two, Li Zheng suppressed Li Tong. Although Li Zheng has no cultivation, the tempering of his own bad luck over the years has made his state of mind extremely powerful.

What's more, as a person who carried the entire Ming Dynasty by himself in the middle and late stages of the original work, how can others imagine his hidden luck.

"Puff"

Originally, Li Tong thought that the killing intent that he crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood could easily crush Li Zheng's mind, so that although he could not follow back to the house, he could still grasp the initiative here.

Therefore, after Li Tianming left, Li Tong condensed his evil qi and eyes, and fiercely faced Li Zheng. In his mind, with the killing intent condensed by his resurrection from a hundred battles, he could easily defeat the will of the third prince Li Zheng and seize the initiative.

But he didn't expect Li Zheng's will to be strong and terrifying, even compared to Li Tianming, whom he had always admired. In the end, Li Tong was also aroused by Li Zai's resistance, and gathered all the strength of his body to go towards Li Zai.

And in this silent confrontation, it was the seemingly powerful Li Tong who was the first to lose.

Li Tong saw an unyielding little boy in Li Zheng's eyes, roaring at the sky with his head held high.

The small body seemed to be unable to collapse even the sky, but instead slammed into the sky with a resolute determination that would never look back.

At this moment, Li Tong deeply understood the gap between himself and Li Zheng.

He didn't understand why this little child had such a terrible mood, even if he didn't have the slightest cultivation, but with this courage to dare to fight even the sky, Li Tong knew that this infamous third prince was probably more terrible than everyone imagined.

So Li Tong knelt in front of Li Zheng without hesitation and lowered his noble head.

"The last general, Li Tong, see the third son, he has offended a lot before, please punish the third son. ”

Li Tong is not stupid, he and the Li family have long been integrated, and the more prosperous the Li family is, the more his glory and wealth can be guaranteed.

Before, I was just worried that Li Zheng would mess things up if he was too young, but now that he already knows how terrible Li Zheng is. Then Li Tianming dared to hand over 5,000 troops to Li Zheng, which must have its own reason.

After figuring it out, Li Tong naturally didn't dare to do anything against Li Zheng anymore, and obediently asked for guilt.

"General Li, please get up, the robbery is still young, and the general needs help, so that he can explain to the second brother. ”

Since Li Tong has been subdued, Li Zheng will no longer care about him, Li Tianming has taught him that the superior should grasp a degree.

You can't make him think you're too unkind, and you can't make him think you're weak and bullying.

And to do this is nothing more than four words: "grasp the big and let go of the small." ”

Big mistakes will never be spared, and small mistakes can be properly let go.

After all, they are all generals who have followed the Li family for countless years, and it can be said that it is one of the foundations of the Li family, so they should be cautious when getting along.

Of course, Li Zai, as the master, would not let go of his body too much, so after letting Li Tong get up, he continued:

"Since the second brother has entrusted me with this important task, then I can't let him down, and next, I hope that General Li can cooperate well. ”

After Li Zai let Li Tong get up, he said with a serious face.

"Well, the last general will obey orders. ”

Although Li Tong didn't think so, he still responded very respectfully on the surface.

"You divide the army of 5,000 into five roads, each with 1,000 people, each led by a thousand households, you follow the middle army with me, and it is fan-shaped from here to Manlai to converge, all the way through, not the forces of our defense of the palace, are uprooted. Let's bypass these places for now. ”

Li Zai took out a map from his arms, pointed to one of them and said to Li Tong.

The map depicts all the terrain in the northwest in detail, and the major forces entrenched in the prairie are clearly marked, which shows how deep the control of the Weiwangfu as the emperor of the northwest is over this place.

And the few places that Li Zheng said bypassed, there are either powerful demon clans entrenched, or there are great forces of human beings, or there are dangerous places that have not yet been explored.

Among them, the Sword Valley where the Sword Emperor is located is one of them.

"This, third son, I'm afraid that this distance is thousands of miles, and there are countless large and small forces. There are even spokesmen for the major forces, if they are all destroyed, I'm afraid..."

Li Tong said with some embarrassment, sweeping away all the forces within a thousand miles, although it is not impossible to complete it with five thousand Wuji troops, but the loss is too great, not to mention, it will offend countless forces.

Among them, there are not only the Ming Dynasty, but also Mongolia and the surrounding countries, and even the demon clan involved, so there are many people who have offended the Wei Wangfu, and Li Tong can't help but worry about whether Li Zheng will bring trouble to the Wei Wangfu if he is so chaotic.

"I'm afraid I'll offend a lot of people, isn't it? Hmph, why do you think I only need a thousand troops, why did the second brother leave me five thousand?"

Li Zai looked at Li Tong and said with a sneer.

"This..."

Li Tongxin said, isn't this all Wei Wei left to protect you?

Of course, he never dared to say this, so he was a little embarrassed and stopped.

"Wouldn't it be safe to only protect me, and to be closely protected by you, a great master of the Three Flowers? Besides, I have countless talisman magic weapons on my body, who can hurt me? Even if you exterminate those little thieves, I believe that even if you, General Li, go out alone, you can easily handle it, right?"

Li Zheng knew that if he couldn't convince Li Tong, his plan would definitely not be implemented well, so he had to explain patiently.

"This, but..."

Li Tong was a little moved, but when he thought of this crazy battle plan, he was very hesitant.

"Are you worried about offending the forces behind them? Don't worry, as long as we raise the banner to avenge the assassination of King Wei, do you think those small and medium-sized forces dare to say a word? As for those big forces, those who are good friends with our Wei Wangfu can naturally be considerate, as for those who are evil, is it possible that if you don't sweep the eyes of others, they will surrender to my Wei Wangfu?"

Li Zai sneered and said, to be honest, he was really dissatisfied with this forward-looking Li Tong.

But he also knew that the Li family's really outstanding talents were all killed in that battle with Li Wouji, and there were only a few people left who could be used.

When the next generation of the Li family has not grown up, they can only be taller among the shorter. At this moment, Li Zai seemed to realize the helplessness of his second brother.

"If you still have any doubts, report it to my second brother and see if he agrees. I know that you have a special way of communicating in the army, and you can report to the second brother in time. ”

Li Zheng saw that he had said this, but Li Tong was still hesitating, so he had to say helplessly.

In the final analysis, Li Zai is still not WeChat enough in the army, if Li Tianming orders, he will not dare to let go of Li Tong's fart, and obediently carry out the order.

Of course, taking history as a mirror, Li Zai has always tried his best to avoid contact with the army to ensure that there is only one voice in the army and only obeys the orders of one person.

"Oh, the third prince atoned for his sins, and the matter is serious, so his subordinates will ask King Wei for instructions. ”

When Li Tong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly confessed to Li Zheng and arranged for someone to report to Li Tianming.

"Alas, second brother, you have really been too difficult all these years. ”

Looking at Li Tong's back, Li Zheng sighed lowly, deeply feeling the difficulty of Li Tianming maintaining the Weiwang Mansion all these years, but he also admired the second brother even more in his heart.
