Capital.

The residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Zhang Lizheng was reading books before sitting at the desk. At this moment, the servant came to report:

"Sir, the King of Zhenbei has sent a messenger from Beiliang and is waiting at the door."

Zhang Li raised his eyebrows and thought in his mind:

At this time, Qin Ze should have already dealt with Hu Ma at Hurong Pass. At this time, he sent a messenger. Could it be that the border pass was in a hurry?

Could it be that you want me to ask your Majesty for troops and horses to support Hurong Pass?

I guess so!

Hu Ma has been wreaking havoc in Hurong Pass for a long time, and his troops and horses are strong. Although Qin Ze has wiped out tens of thousands of bandits, he will definitely face difficulties when facing these brave and capable Hu Ma.

He knew that His Majesty would not give him troops and horses, so he came to me and asked me to go to His Majesty to ask for troops and horses.

Maybe at this moment, Hu Ma might have already entered Hu Rong Pass.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Qin Ze, he would definitely not send someone to ask for troops at this time as he is quite proud.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li sighed in his heart.

He didn't know that the empress didn't like the Qin family, but if the border was really in a hurry, it would be extremely detrimental to the country and the people.

Zhang Li's heart sank. No matter what, Hu Ma must be repulsed here. He must do this request for troops no matter what!

"Quick! Invite him in!" Zhang Li said.

"Yes, sir." The servant immediately withdrew.

Not long after, a soldier with a solemn face strode over.

Seeing him come in, Zhang Li looked at him carefully.

At this glance, Zhang Li couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.

Although the visitor is wearing armor, one can still see that his body is strong and strong. In addition, his steps are steady. Although he is sharp, he is restrained. You can tell at a glance that he is good.

These are the soldiers and horses trained by Qin Ze, and they are somewhat similar to the previous Red Flame Army...

Knowing that the border issue was urgent, Zhang Li asked directly: "What is the current situation of Hu Rong Pass? Can General Qin still hold on?"

"Replying to your lord, Hurong Pass is safe and sound. Part of the Huma has been wiped out. They will not harass the border for the time being. This is a letter sent by the general from me. I must deliver it to your hands personally." The soldier looked calm and said. Replied word for word.

While talking, the soldier took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Li.

But Zhang Li was a little dazed at the moment, still thinking about what he just heard in his mind.

Is Hurong Pass safe and sound?

Has Huma been partially wiped out?

Could it be said that Qin Ze not only resisted the Hu Ma soldiers, but also led his troops out of the pass and defeated the Hu Ma soldiers on the grassland? !

Is this... is this possible? The possibility is slim!

Huma are nomadic people, they can come and go freely on the grassland, so they are not so easy to kill.

Could it be that he used some strategy to lure some Huma soldiers into Hurong Pass, and then besieged and annihilated them. This made Huma wary and retreated?

I guess so! Lure and kill one or two thousand Hu horse soldiers, knock the mountain to frighten the tigers, and make the Beihu retreat. Zhang Li had already made a guess in his mind.

After all, Qin Ze has learned the art of war from Haotian since he was a child, and he is also a brave and resourceful person.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li's face was filled with surprise and joy. After receiving the letter, he said casually:

"How many Hu horse soldiers did General Qin annihilate? How many miles did those Hu horses retreat?"

The soldier said solemnly: "According to incomplete statistics, there should be about 80,000 Hu Ma soldiers."

"Huh? What?"

After the words fell, Zhang Li's eyes suddenly widened and he cried out.

The soldier continued:

"We have annihilated so many for the time being. There are still many Hu horses on the Beihu grassland that are eyeing them."

"Sir, after reading the content of the letter, you will understand that my subordinates still need to return to the city to report to the general, so I am resigning!"

Zhang Li grabbed him and said with a shocked look on his face:

"Wait a moment!"

"Annihilated 80,000 Hu horse soldiers? You must not lie about military information!"

The soldier's expression did not change and he nodded in agreement.

Zhang Li's eyes widened, his whole body was shaken, and he glanced back and forth at the soldier.

Annihilate some Hu Ma soldiers? This "part" refers to 80,000? !

How much is all that? Could it be that--

Qin Ze can't succeed in annihilating all the barbarians in the Beiku grassland!

Suspicions reappeared in Zhang Li's heart. His previous guess was already the most reasonable guess, but now he said that Qin Ze wiped out 80,000 Hu horse soldiers?

Is this possible? Is this possible?

Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

Even if there are 80,000 bandits, that doesn't mean they can be wiped out easily in a short while!

How long has it been? Isn’t it still less than the five days limited by His Majesty?

Repulse turns into a battle of annihilation? Or 80,000?

"Wait a minute! Don't leave! Wait until I finish reading the letter!"

Zhang Li opened the envelope hurriedly, his eyes widening.

Looking at the contents of the letter, his eyes suddenly shrank, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and the hand holding the letter started to shake.

His breathing began to become heavy, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his scalp began to feel numb.

The face that was extremely shocked at the beginning gradually turned red, and the corners of his mouth were completely grinned.

After reading the entire letter, he took a deep breath and shouted:

"it is good!"

"You have courage! You have courage! A tiger father has no dog son! This is how you should deal with Hu Ma! I will go to court tomorrow to remonstrate!"

"Well done!" Zhang Li's eyes were shining with joy.

After seeing the second half of the letter, Zhang Li's expression slowly became solemn.

Then, he folded the letter, put it in his arms, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell Qin Ze that I will advise him on the invasion of Beichuan troops by Beihu troops, so that he can lead his troops without worries!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldier turned and left.

Zhen Guo General Mansion.

In the back garden.

Huang Long was chatting with his son Huang Tianhu, and naturally they were talking about the border affairs with Hu Ma.

Huang Tianhu was broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with a chubby face and a fair face. However, he had been addicted to wine and sex for a long time, and his sunken eyes made him look a little dull. At this moment, he looked at his father and said:

"Dad, do you want me to go to Beiliang to suppress Hu Ma after Qin Ze dies?"

Huang Long nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's exactly it."

Huang Tianhu raised his brows, shook his head and said, "There's no money to be squeezed out? What benefits can we gain from fighting with those bastards? I don't want to go."

"Dad, you have so many generals, so let's replace them."

Looking at his son's laziness, Huang Long said in a deep voice:

"What do you know."

"You did what Qin Ze couldn't do. Can't you gain fame?"

"So what about Huma? You don't have to fight if you go. At most, we can just talk and that's pretty much it."

"You stay there for a month, make them retreat a hundred miles, and get a reward from His Majesty. Then you come back. When the time comes, someone else will go there. That's it. What happens after that has nothing to do with you."

Huang Tianhu scratched his head, then his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"Oh, gold plating!"

“Dad, you’re still going to cause trouble!!”

"In this case, when I come back, will your Majesty make me a king with a different surname?"

"Dad, you will be the old prince then!" Huang Tianhu stared at his round mung bean eyes and smiled.

Huang Long rolled his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

He knew that this second son was always like this, always having whims, so he just shook his head.

Huang Tianhu continued:

"Dad, when should I go?"

Huanglong stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said, "I think it will only last a few days."

"Perhaps the news has come from Beiliang that 'King Zhenbei died at the hands of Hu Ma and Hurong Pass is in danger'."

After the words fell, the father and son looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, a servant ran in in a hurry.

"Sir! There is news from Beiliang!"

Huang Long spread his hands, looked at his son and said with a smile: "Look, it's here as promised. What I said is right."

Huang Tianhu nodded with a smile and shouted to the servant: "Why are you panicking? Speak slowly."

The servant took a few deep breaths and then continued:

"Report to your lord! Great victory at Hurong Pass! King Zhenbei annihilated 80,000 barbarians!"

"The news has spread throughout the capital!"

Huang Long's smile suddenly solidified, and his open hands slowly fell.

Huang Tianhu's expression also froze. The next moment, he grabbed the servant's collar and shouted:

"What did you say? Did you make a mistake?"

"Annihilate 80,000 Hu horses? Qin Ze?"

The servant's body was like chaff and he said hurriedly: "It's absolutely true, sir!"

Huang Tianhu's expression froze, and he turned to look at his father who had a stiff face, "Dad, how...how do you explain this?"

Huang Long's eyes tightened, his face turned livid, his eyes were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"How could it be? How could he annihilate 80,000 Hu horse soldiers?"

"That's Huma, not a bandit! It's already difficult to defeat Huma in five days, but he directly wiped out Huma!"

"This...this is simply a fantasy!"

"Could it be that an army descended from heaven to help him kill 80,000 Hu horse soldiers?"

Huang Long clenched his teeth, and the flesh on his face began to tremble slightly.

He had already sent Zhao Yuan to join forces with Hu Ma to plot to kill Qin Ze, but he still couldn't let him die in Beiliang!

Instead, he was asked to annihilate 80,000 Hu horses!

How does this convince him!

Huang Tianhu on the side frowned and scratched his head, then his eyes suddenly widened, he clapped his hands and said:

"I understand! Dad!"

"Huma must be too weak!"

"I guess this Huma must have lived up to his reputation. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled, so he killed 80,000 people. Alas, if I had gone there, wouldn't I have been able to establish this easily? Credit?"

"What a pity! This fat job should have been handed over to me in the first place."
