Huangfu Rang seemed unbelievable: "The intention of King Huang is to leave no one, and they will all withdraw back to Hexi?"

Since Li Feng and Li Xiao first burned the Xiazhou camp and burned Gao Meng hundreds of thousands of stones of grain into a handful of ashes, Xihai Xizuo immediately withdrew from Xia, Shuo and other prefectures.

Less than half a month later, Li Feng received an urgent order from Li Chengzhi, ordering all the secret spies to withdraw back to the six towns.

And now, we are going to withdraw back to Hexi?

In this way, there will be no dark spy north of the Yellow River, and the West Sea will be like a deaf and blind man, and will not receive any more news.

"Yes, no one left!"

Li Chengzhi nodded heavily, "How could Gao Zhao not teach a lesson after suffering such a big loss? Do you believe it or not? Now the Gao family's minions are determined to be in Heng, and Yan and other states are searching for me, Li's secretly?

How much effort did Gao Zhao take to get the current situation? Now that chaos is coming, he will do his best to search the six towns before launching, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Xiazhou. In order to avoid heavy casualties and more avoid the details of our West Sea from the enemy, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible..."

Among all the troops, cavalry is the most difficult to train, especially scouts in cavalry. However, Li Chengzhi believes that training a qualified secret spy and doing it in detail is more than ten times more difficult than scouts.

It is precisely because of the high quality that we should cherish and play its greatest role.

The current situation of the six towns is obvious to Li Chengzhi, just like Heng, Yan and other states, which fell into the hands of Gao Zhao. Or like the original trajectory of history, it was completely in chaos.

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately investigate the truth. It is better to wait until the chaos is completely unrest to see if there are any loopholes.

Besides, after this part of the manpower was withdrawn, Li Chengzhi would have great use...

He paused for a moment and sighed sadly: "As for father, elder brother and third brother, I should not have any worries about life for the time being. After the overall situation is settled, let's make a decision..."

Huangfu shook his body slightly, looked at Li Chengzhi's gentle but firm gaze, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Now Li Feng and his subordinates are stranded in six towns, not just to find out the news, but to Li Shixian, Li Chenghong and Li Chengxue.

Whether it is Huangfu Rang or Li Feng, they all know that if they want to rescue Li Shixian and his son from the dragon and tiger den, they will undoubtedly be foolish.

Understanding the truth is one thing, and whether to do it or not is another matter, even if many people die.

But he didn't expect that Li Chengzhi would point it out directly, and even make Li Feng withdraw from the six towns immediately.

For a moment, Huangfu Rang had mixed feelings and finally lowered his head: "I will send an order to Li Feng after a while!"

"Well, let him come back as soon as possible, don't delay. In addition, I will tell him that at most one month, I will re-determine the position and the official rank. If he has not arrived yet, then he will be the military leader for the rest of his life!"

Huangfu Rang was suddenly happy: "I will definitely explain the pros and cons to him!"

It’s not that he is so happy, but because now, the Li family still uses the ranks of the ranks of Jingzhou when they started their troops. Li Liang, who has the highest official position, is also the deputy commander, and the boundaries are unclear, so he doesn’t know how many soldiers he should lead to.

Further down, there is the level of the military leader. For example, Li Feng, Huangfu Rang, and Li Shi are all at this level.

Li Song was originally the deputy commander, but after his military power was removed, his position was naturally deprived of his rank.

As for Li Shiliang, he is just a temporary director of Li Chengzhi, which is not countable.

Huangfu Rang estimated that now there are nearly 40,000 soldiers in the West Sea. No matter how few, there are, there should be about ten military positions similar to the guard generals. However, among the Li family, he and Li Feng should be one.

Huangfu Rang was very happy and waited patiently for Li Chengzhi to write the urgent order in person, and then returned to Zhenyi overnight.

He was so anxious that he was not about to be promoted, but he believed in Li Chengzhi's words.

If Li Feng doesn't retreat, he will probably die in the six towns...

...

Just like this, I left during the day and stopped at night. After two more days, I arrived at Zhenyi.

The huge Guancheng is five feet high, but how could it look like it was ruined and ruined two years ago?

Along Heli Mountain, a wall that was nearly meter high was built. One mile, one beacon, five miles and one pier. There were only a few beacons, and I knew that at least ten miles had been built.

Everything you can see is the residence of the household. Just like countless petals of flowers blooming, the shacks surrounding the city, one by one, and it seems that there is no end to see.

Below the gate is the Ruoshui River Valley, and the cliff walls are as smooth as mirrors.

It seemed as if I had taken a ruler to measure it, and there were a row of holes on each side, arranged in two neat lines, stretching for several miles.

Looking further north, there are countless camps under Heli Mountain, just like countless white ants, dense and concentrated.

After climbing the ridge, there is a grain field that has been reclaimed for two years. Although the seedlings in the fields are not strong, they have at least grown all over the field, and there is little free like ringworm.

There are men and women in the field, old and weak, as if we were weeding.

In the distance, black smoke rose up and rushed straight to the clouds. When it was rough, there were as many as seven or eight skewers.

Along the broad road at the foot of the mountain, the convoy was lined up in a long queue, heading towards the place where the black smoke was.

Where Li Chengzhi's natural place and where the smoke is the mine, the things carried in the convoy are naturally the mine sand that was mined thirty miles east.

Standing above Guancheng, Li Chengzhi was filled with emotion.

Even if he saw this scene, it would be like a miracle. If someone else came, who would dare to imagine that this place would be a deserted place two years ago?

Ask yourself, even if it was him, could he manage the Wuyi into such a scene in just two years?

What's more, if you cross Heli Mountain, there is a Xihai Ranch that is hundreds of miles wide?

Huangfu Rang took a step forward and approached Li Chengzhi: "In the early winter of the previous year, when I received an urgent report from my husband, the fourth brother conquered Zhaoding, repaired the river walls, river beaches, dug caves, and pits. At the same time, he mobilized his wife to weave felt and tents.

By May and June last year, there were places where the guilty soldiers and refugees came. More than 50,000 households had not been frostbite in the West Sea, and one of them died of illness...

Then the fourth brother helped Huairen Gong (Li Shiliang) to divide the households into the family. Ding Zhuang. When the cold winter came, he cultivated nearly 10,000 hectares of land along the river and built a thousand miles of canals... and more than doubled the Hongshan Mine, and built a beacon wall along Heli Mountain for fifty miles..."

"I understand!" Li Chengzhi interrupted softly.

Even if Huangfu Rang didn't say it, Li Chengzhi knew it clearly: There was this scene in front of him, and Li Song was extremely good at it.

Xihai is more perfect than he imagined.

If it weren't for this, Li Song made such a big mistake, how could he take it lightly?

No one is perfect, no one can make a mistake, and you can beat someone to death with one stick, and you will never give me a chance to correct your mistakes.

Besides, strictly speaking, Li Song was an unintentional act and was not unforgivable. As a qualified ruler, he could not just judge the crime by the result, but also take into account other things.

It was just like this that Huangfu Rang.

Compared with other Li's servants, Huangfu Rang's ability is no worse than Li Song's ability, whether it is leading the army, setting up formations, conquering, or controlling the subordinates.

Compared to being calm and calm, Huangfu Rang is not inferior to Li Liang.

What is even more commendable is that Huangfu Rang is very sober and acts very well.

He never relied on Li Chengzhi's value and trust and was content with his self-satisfaction. He would not rely on his strong ability and many contributions to point fingers, or make decisions.

And not everything is timid, but he has great insights and opinions. Compared with him, Li Feng is much worse.

It was just out of selfishness that when Li Chengzhi established a chamber of commerce, station, and formed a secret spy organization, Li Chengzhi would focus on Li Feng and Huangfu Rang as his auxiliary.

Such a person who is very clear-headed should be a taboo in Li Song's affairs according to common sense, and he should avoid it like a snake or a scorpion. However, Huangfu Rang made such a remark at this time, and his intention was self-evident: Li Song has great hard work, high moral character, and hopes that the husband will think twice...

Huangfu Rang was afraid that he would settle the score later and would make others feel cold?

Li Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh.

The cause of the past and the result of today, it seems that his cunning and suspicious image has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It’s not that Huangfu Rang is like this. It’s because Li Chengzhi had a serious lack of confidence at the beginning. That’s why when Li Song led his army to Hexi, he let Li Liang, Huangfu and others monitor and check and balance Li Song...

But Li Chengzhi did not regret it.

The way to control the inferior is to pay equal attention to kindness and power. If he had not expected it, Li Song would not only force him to rebel, but also force him to rebel.

After seeing his advice to Li Shiliang, he would know that Li Song's ambition was probably already inflated to the point where even Li Chengzhi was shocked.

So, as long as Li Song can't change this, Li Chengzhi will not let him lead a soldier...

He let out a long sigh: "Don't worry, no matter how unwise I am, I have not yet reached the level of digging my own foundation..."

Huangfu Rang smiled embarrassedly and let out a sigh of relief. His tense nerves suddenly loosened, and he realized that the middle clothes under the armor were soaked with cold juice.

He had been thinking about what he said just now for more than half a year. Since he learned that Li Chengzhi had pretended to die and escape and wanted to go to Xihai to take charge of the overall situation, Huangfu Rang couldn't sleep and rest.

Even though Li Song had everything wrong, in the past two years, he has been like a magic needle for the sea, making the West Sea from nothing to something.

With this alone, whether it is the army or the people, there are many people who are grateful to Li Song.

So even if you have to punish or kill, it should not be the present. At least you should wait for a year or two. It is not too late to wait until Li Chengzhi controls the overall situation and when Li Song's influence is minimal.

Huangfu Rang learned from his mistakes and thought that a good situation could not be ruined by temporary gains and losses. Therefore, he finally had the courage to overcome reason, which led to this scene today.

He was about to change the topic to ease the solemn atmosphere, and then heard a whistle coming from afar.

Looking around, I saw a team of armored horses coming from the north of the mountain, a large flag fluttering in the wind, and a black "Li" character on the township was particularly eye-catching.

"It must be Duke Huairen... I believe he learned that the husband had arrived at Zhenyi and came to meet..."

When talking about the word "meeting", Huangfu made a subconscious blow.

He originally wanted to say "visit", but his intuition was inappropriate, so he changed his mouth.

"I have already asked Ren Guang to tell my uncle that I will go to the West Sea soon, so why should he run around and travel hundreds of miles in a hurry?"

Li Chengzhi sighed while walking down the city, "Follow me to go downstairs to greet him!"

Huangfu Rang agreed to the promise, but he didn't agree.

For the entire West Sea, Li Song’s great achievements and hard work are true, and his virtue and respect are not false. But for those of the Li family servants who are well aware of the basic principles and the former subordinates of Jingzhou, Li Chengzhi is the decisive needle for the sea.
