When Li Huai left the Privy Council Yamen, Privy Council envoy Geng Zhong and deputy envoy Qi Xianchuan came out to see him off.

After walking down the steps, Li Huai turned around and held up his hands, saying: "You two, you have business to do, so I won't interrupt you. Regarding the weaknesses of the rebel army, I will write them down in detail as soon as I get back, so that you can trust them."

Someone will send it over."

Geng Zhong smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I hope you can hurry up. The military situation is very good, but I can't wait any longer!"

Although Qi Xianchuan next to him did not speak, he could not help but nod slightly.

Li Huai said that he knew, and then returned with Liu Yi. However, after hesitating for a while, Li Huai did not choose to go to the Yamen. Instead, he planned to meet with the Hou Mansion first, sort out his thoughts, and explain what he just said in the study.

I sorted everything out and wrote it down, and then slightly revised the manuscript about the financial issues of the feudal town——

This part of the content, as early as a year in another world, he had made some drafts. Combined with the collection of books and records in the Hou Mansion, it was quite decent. He just proposed it based on this, saying that it was due to the lack of peace and prosperity granted by the imperial court.

The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated funds, and the bandit army would soon face a shortage of food and money.

Now when I go back, I will write it down in detail.

"These are all calculations, analysis rather than decisions. They should not directly affect the subsequent battle situation."

Sitting on the carriage, Li Huai meditated. This trip to the Privy Council was of great help to him, allowing him to initially confirm that there was indeed inertia in the plot. At least now that the war has begun, many trends are the same as before.

"However, this has brought about another hidden danger, that is, will the other party change its behavior after I take action? Also, the reason why this war was able to be quickly settled was because Zheng Xingye received help from the DPRK, and first sent an envoy,

As a result, by chance, I learned about the opponent's food supply and lack of weapons, and then made friends with a group of powerful refugee troops, and finally even became friends with the Hu generals..."

Recalling the original plot, Li Huai couldn't help but sigh.

He knew very well that it would be very difficult to repeat Zheng Xingye's experience.

"Even if Zheng Xingye didn't rush into the street, I, the troublemaker, didn't get involved. Just looking at these... No, I'm not a troublemaker! In short, let him repeat it, without me giving him the halo of the protagonist.

, if any of these coincidences didn't happen, it would be impossible to use all forces to ruin Luo Zhiyuan's reputation in the end!"

Because of this, Li Huai never thought of replacing Zheng Xingye and going the same way from the beginning. There were too many uncertain factors.

"Then we can only follow the general trend first. I hope that with my reminder, I can cut off the foundation of Yongchang Army and not give them a chance to struggle..."

While Li Huai was meditating, Liu Yi kept observing secretly, and the doubts in his eyes became more and more intense.

However, the journey was uneventful.

In the following days, Li Huai saw that the situation around him was stable, so he went to the yamen as usual.

In Chang'an City, the debate about him subsided a lot, because the battle situation on the front line kept coming, and it was the news that the imperial court had defeated Yongchang's troops.

In addition, news of Li Huai advising the Privy Council also gradually spread.

"Master Marquis, these are part of the files sent by the Ministry of Punishment. They specially selected the parts related to the Black Cult."

Early in the morning, Wu Zheng hurriedly ran back and forth. At dawn, he took the initiative to run to the Criminal Department Yamen and personally escorted a batch of files back. When he arrived at the Judicial Yamen, he ran non-stop to Li Huai to report.

"Oh?" Li Huai looked up and said calmly, "Okay, put it aside, I will look at it later." Then he continued to look at the document in his hand.

Wu Zheng took a careful look at the document and saw the word "secret" written on the edge. He immediately looked away and then stepped back respectfully.

But after leaving the Yamen, Wu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

This sigh was heard by the colleague next to him, who came over to comfort him and said: "But Shangguan didn't pay much attention to it? In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The Marquis is just focusing on military matters. After all, a large part of the war is now

It was our Shangguan who planned and planned it! You can imagine the heavy burden on him!"

After saying that, the man left in a hurry.

Wu Zheng returned to his seat and concentrated on handling government affairs. However, as he was doing this, he couldn't help but sigh.

This voice was heard by another colleague, who also sighed and said: "Otherwise, I am short-sighted. When I heard the rumors, I thought that Dingxiang Hou was going to lose power. As a result, he turned around and made plans.

, Alas, it’s not easy to make up for it now?”

Wu Zheng couldn't help but nod, and then sighed again.

At this time, another colleague heard it and came over and whispered: "Have you heard? The imperial court won another battle!"

The man from before asked: "Didn't you say that you defeated the refugees who were attacking the key point? What's the status of the battle?"

The person who revealed the news said: "It is said that they ambushed the Yongchang bandit army. I also heard it from my brother at home. He is in the army and was recently transferred back. He has told some things, but you can't spread the word!"

Wu Zheng and others nodded quickly.

The man then lowered his voice a little more and said: "It is said that the bandit army originally wanted to attract soldiers and horses from other towns, and then ambush and annihilate them. Unexpectedly, they were tricked by the generals, and a large number of people and horses were lost. They were already injured.

!”

"So...so the war will be over?" Some people were surprised.

Some people couldn't help but murmur: "Speaking of which, the Yongchang bandit rebelled this time. Except for the chaos in Guanzhong at the beginning and a lot of rumors, everything was calm after that. I didn't realize it at all. I just heard the imperial troops and horses.

Every victory!"

"Don't you understand this?" Wu Zheng shook his head, "Because our Lord Marquis is here to make suggestions this time, I also have some connections, so I have heard a lot of news. If you don't talk about other things, wait till you mention it just now.

The rumor was that the Marquis was the first to warn the Privy Council, and then the Imperial City Department took action, arresting some people, and shocking some officials!"

Someone nodded and said: "I really want to hear some news about this matter. No wonder the Privy Council sent someone here to express thanks a few days ago..."

Wu Zheng added: "Besides, the reason why we were able to repel the thieves who were attacking the key point was because of the Marquis's strategy. I heard that the morale of the thieves was broken within two days!"

"Is it so powerful? So, that's why you thanked me for the second time?" Someone exclaimed, "Then he was able to use the trick this time and defeat most of the bandit army. Is it also a trick of the Marquis?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "Although I don't have exact information yet, I think I won't miss him!"

While they were talking, someone suddenly ran in from outside. As they ran, they shouted: "The people from the Privy Council are here again. It looks like they are here to thank our Lord Marquis again!"

When everyone heard this, they understood immediately and couldn't help but marveled. However, they later felt deep regret and secretly lamented their short-sightedness.

On the other side, Li Huai was sitting in the main hall, retreating to the left and right, leaving only Liu Yi, Guo Zhan, Gao Du and others. He received the person from the Privy Council and listened to the man's report on the battle situation ahead, and took advantage of the situation to hear a few compliments.

Of course Liu Yi and the other three were surprised and admired, but when they looked at Li Huai, who still looked as usual, they felt a little more awe in their hearts. They felt that it was really the attitude of a big shot to not be happy with things and not feel sad for oneself.

Little did he know that Li Huai was just as happy, secretly sighing that the direction of the wind had finally changed, and he was no longer in the spotlight. However, besides being happy, he was also worried.

Things are progressing so smoothly. Could it be that Luo Zhiyuan and Guan Zhishan are going to follow the original plot and go to the dark side?
