Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's swift and decisive work style makes him a natural fit for the bandit business.

As a military strategist, Wang Xuance originally did not intend to show off his abilities after the "Second in Command" was injured, but...

“Your Highness, I’m afraid we don’t have enough manpower right now…” Wang Xuance thought of the previous battle, in which many men in black were injured in order to protect Li Huairen, Chai Lingwu and others. He couldn’t help but said worriedly, “It’s just the beginning, and we’ve already suffered casualties. If we don’t find a way to make those subdued bandits work for us, there will definitely be problems later. And if we tell them now that we want to take them out to rob other bandits, I’m afraid there will be a lot of unexpected things…”

"Xuan Ce, I know all these, but who told you that I only brought two hundred personal guards this time?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu blinked at Wang Xuan Ce and said, "Besides, robbery... is also a business that is 'difficult to open, but easy to do once opened', so I certainly don't expect these new idiots to be able to contribute anything. Yuwen Qing--" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly began to call out his orders.

"Your Highness!" Yuwen Qing had originally felt that the previous battle was not exciting enough, and now that His Highness the King of Chu was planning to entrust him with an important task, he was of course excited: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"

"Take Huairen and Lingwu with you and start sweeping the surrounding mountain strongholds early tomorrow morning. Anyway, I have only one purpose - we are out this time to let the bandits in Taihang Mountain see what professionalism is. So remember, I don't care whether you put away your sword after defeating the enemy, but in short, you are not allowed to leave them a single grain of corn or a single copper coin! Of course, we must not harm children and women - we are not fighting the Eastern Turks, and the ones who did it back then were the Eastern Turkic bandits, which has nothing to do with us."

"Your Highness, do you mean that we still need to bring some 'tails' up the mountain?" - It must be said that Yuwen Qing knows how to think laterally.

"Get lost! Forget it, forget it..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu realized that there might be obstacles in communicating with Yuwen Qing about this matter, he simply turned his gaze to Li Huairen: "Huairen, let's leave this matter to you - although there shouldn't be many women, children and kids in those mountain villages, but if there are, you can simply bring them back to me. Before the end of this bandit suppression operation, I will guarantee their safety!"

"Yes!" Li Huairen responded solemnly. He understood that this was a military order and there could be no mistakes.

"Alright, that's it. From tomorrow on, I, the Sandalwood King, will start to 'dig through the mountains'!"

-------------------------------------

Early the next morning, Yuwen Qing led his men to the hilltops to rob people.

And with the presence of His Royal Highness the King of Chu's shadow assassin, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack on these bandits, whose number does not exceed two thousand at most.

No one can withstand a wave of attacks.

At the same time, the news that "the sick little tiger was knocked over by a group of young outsiders" began to spread rapidly in the 800-li Taihang Mountains.

In a valley somewhere in the Taihang Mountains, in a cave dwelling built halfway up the mountain, which was now brightly lit, Shan Tianchang, who had also received the news, first waved his hand to let his confidant leave. Then he looked at the person in front of him and said with disdain, "You, the Wang family, can't wait to take root in the Taihang Mountains?"

"Captain Shan has misunderstood," the middle-aged man explained calmly when he saw Shan Tianchang seemed to be planning to call him to task, "I came here on behalf of the family head to convey a message to you: the imperial court has sent a large army to wipe out the banditry in Taihang Mountain."

"Hey... come on!" Shan Changchang smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "It's a pipe dream to want to wipe out the banditry in Taihang Mountain!"

Every time the imperial court sent out a large army, they would retreat to the depths of the Taihang Mountains. The army's food and supplies would be consumed in astronomical figures. And they, the bandits, were not incapable of hunting and farming, and besides... someone would deliver food to them!

"Commander Shan, don't be too confident," the middle-aged man frowned upon hearing this. "Do you know who is leading the army to suppress the bandits this time?"

"Who? Cheng Yaojin or Li Ji? Qin Qiong... I'm afraid he doesn't have the body to do it. As for Niu Jinda... hey... as long as he dares to come... as long as he dares to come!" Shan Tianchang said to the end, his eyes as vicious as a poisonous snake.

"The man who came is the King of Chu!" The middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly when he mentioned the title of the King of Chu: "He is the real butcher! You have never been to the northwest... You don't know how famous he is in the northwest - 'Heavenly Khan' may be respected by those foreign races on the surface, but 'Demon King' is something they fear from the bottom of their hearts!"

"A young man who has not even reached adulthood, is it necessary for you to flatter him like this?" Shan Tianchang felt that the manager of the Taiyuan Wang Clan in front of him seemed a little too incompetent. "Besides, that brat pretended to be my brother. You dare not settle this account with him, but I do!"

"Don't try to conflict with the King of Chu. Don't forget who is standing behind him." Seeing Shan Tianchang being so arrogant, Wang Pan couldn't help but start to worry in his heart - the plan that the head of the family had previously made... might be ruined by Shan Tianchang.

"Li Er? What am I afraid of?!" Shan Tianchang said disdainfully, "I've become a bandit in the mountains. Do I need to be afraid of the emperor?!"

"The legacy that Empress Taimu left to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is much greater and more terrifying than you and any of us could have imagined!" Wang Pan saw that Shan Tianchang had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, so he could not help but add: "You know Pei Xingyan, the former enemy of the Sui Dynasty, right?

According to the news we have recently received, this person is not dead, but has lived in seclusion in the Western Regions and has become a retainer of the Dou family. Commander Shan, that is Pei Xingyan. Looking at the world, one-on-one, how many people dare to say that they can definitely beat him?

And Commander Shan, don't forget that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a real record of fighting - he defeated the Eastern Turks, swept across the Western Regions, forced two Turkic Khans to offer sacrifices to the gods at Jinshan, and then fought a war with hundreds of thousands of foreign allies at the foot of the mountain until Li Er led the army to arrive... Who dares to look down on such a young man? ! Moreover... When His Royal Highness the King of Chu went north to the Turks alone, those black-armored soldiers who joined him halfway, do you think they were not well-known? At the station outside Shuofang City, our people witnessed with their own eyes how fierce those black-armored soldiers were in battle... They were the best cavalry elites in the world!"

"So, when the imperial army arrives at Taihang Mountain, I can only retreat to the depths of the mountains to temporarily avoid their attack? The attack of a young boy?!" Shan Tianchang waited for Wang Pan to finish speaking, then he suddenly closed his eyes slowly: "I don't accept it! I won't accept it even if I die! Besides... he's just a King of Chu... is he! worthy?!"
