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

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Wang Xuance bowed respectfully to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and then he slowly spoke to everyone: "Everyone, although we have become a first-class force in Taihang Mountain, we are still a steep place with steep walls - our foundation is inherently unstable. At present, we are unstoppable, and the people below dare not have second thoughts. But if we really go against a big bandit like Shan Tianchang, we still have to prepare for the worst - these bandits we have recruited may turn against us in the future."

"Then why did we try to subdue them before?" Hou Yun couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this: "Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"If you don't recruit them, when Feng Ang conquers Pyu, I will send you to open up wasteland. The best place for these bandits to go in the future is Pyu! I want to see whether the people of my Tang Dynasty are more tough or the people of Tubo are more tough." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said to Hou Yun, who was a little embarrassed at the moment: "Many things should be based on the overall situation, not just the present."

"Brother Kuan, you make me feel a little strange..." It was the first time that Hou Yun heard that the Tang Dynasty would send Feng Ang to attack the Pyu Kingdom in the future... By the way, where was the Pyu Kingdom?

"You should make some progress, kid." His Royal Highness the King of Chu replied unhappily, and then he turned his gaze to the other brothers: "It's the same with you guys - we can look like we are unlearned, but we can't really be unlearned, understand?"

"Brother Kuan, when did you start working hard secretly..." As one of the few talented people in the Chu King bandit group, Chai Zhewei is most curious about this.

"Cousin, you don't understand. I used to hide my incompetence because I was worried that a certain incompetent emperor would be jealous of his talent..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu cannot stand being praised. He gets sick when he is praised.

"Your Highness...can I continue to talk about business?" Wang Xuance felt that he could not allow the head of the family to continue to digress.

"You continue." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that he would remain quiet from now on.

"Nowadays, there are four major bandit forces in the entire Taihang Mountains." Wang Xuance began to take over the meeting again: One of them is Shan Tianchang's Broken Soul Valley. This man is the legitimate son of Shan Xiongxin. After Shan Xiongxin's death, he was taken care of by the archer Xie Yingdeng and started his career from the depths of Taihang Mountains. Now he has 30,000 men under his command.

The second is the "Seven Generals" left by the Black Mountain Bandits. The ancestors of this group of people did not follow Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Tao Sheng and others to join the court or the powerful at that time. Later, the Central Plains experienced hundreds of years of turmoil, and they could only live in the Taihang Mountains as bandits, relying mainly on farming and hunting for survival. These people have long been accustomed to the current life - as long as no one troubles them, they will not get involved in any disputes. But... Your Highness, I must make one thing clear: we don't need to trouble them either."

"I know the answer to this question, please continue." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Wang Xuance spoke so tactfully, he knew that he should show his attitude.

“The third one,” Wang Xuance was relieved when he saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu listened to his advice, “is the Wild Wolf Ridge led by Xiong Wushuang, the son of the former Sui general Xiong Kuohai.

Xiong Kuohai was originally the king of Taihang Mountain. Later, in order to save a group of rebel kings in the battle of Yangzhou, he held up the gate of a city. Later, he died of exhaustion due to continuous fighting. But the incense and love he left behind were enough for his son to command the heroes. Xiong Wushuang and Shan Tianchang had similar experiences, so the two of them got along well. In addition, their territories were separated by the "Seven Generals" of the Black Mountain Bandits, so there was no direct conflict of interest between the two, which was why they could live in peace. "

"Then the fourth force is us?" Li Huairen, who was originally fascinated by what he heard, suddenly said: "Brother Xuan Ce, this fourth force... is us, right?"

“Yes…” Wang Xuance nodded after hearing this: “But…”

"Okay!" After Li Huairen got the answer he wanted, he naturally ignored what Wang Xuance was going to say next: "I knew that I, Li Huairen, would have a bright future following Brother Kuan! My old confused father insisted on sending my eldest brother to General Xue Wanren to train. What was he training for? Haha... My eldest brother is destined to be less promising than me!"

"That's right!" Cheng Chumo, who knew that Li Huairen had suffered a lot of injustice at home, nodded and said, "Huairen, you are destined to have a bright future! A big future!"

Look, we have become a well-known bandit gang in Taihang Mountain - it's only been a few days? I think in a few years, with Kuan Geer here, it won't be difficult for our name to spread all over the world.

"All of you keep quiet!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that if this continued, his bandit gang would become a loose sand because of breaking the rules: "All of you listen to Xuan Ce's words quietly!"

"Oh..." Li Huairen and others immediately became obedient when they saw their boss getting angry.

"Xuan Ce, please continue." His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his head to look at Wang Xuance, but then he added: "These bastards have been like this since they were young. I will definitely give them a good talk later."

"..." What else could Xuan Ce say? He didn't even want to point out a certain truth - the truth about a certain barbarian leading the entire gang astray.

"Brother Xuance... No, Military Advisor, please continue." Li Huairen, who was standing by, saw that Wang Xuance didn't speak at this time, so he cleverly interrupted with this sentence.

"We are the fourth force, but the problem is that the little sick tiger we killed earlier was from Xiong Wushuang." After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he saw that everyone was still calm, so he added: "Most of the mountains we have swept away in the past few days are actually from Xiong Wushuang's forces..."

"Ah..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu scratched his neck after hearing this: "So... we, the gangsters from other places... must be very rude in the eyes of the local gangsters?"

“Hahahaha…” As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, a burst of cheerful laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Your Highness, Xiong Wushuang's Wild Wolf Ridge is a place where many hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hiding - some of the rebel kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty are living there in retirement." Wang Xuance thought that the most difficult part of this matter was not just that: "Now that Xiong Wushuang has been angered by us, he is bound to clash with us, and this conflict is a great opportunity for Shan Tianchang..."

After Wang Xuance finished speaking, the entire hall became silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to the young man sitting in the commander's seat, quietly waiting for his decision.

After a long time, the voice of His Royal Highness the King of Chu sounded in the hall.

"The situation is more interesting when it's complicated." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he slowly stood up: "Be it Xiong Wushuang or Shan Tianchang, to put it bluntly, even if they really have great abilities, they are just two grasshoppers jumping on the Taihang Mountains. And my appearance is to tell them what the true 'destiny' is!

Xuan Ce, pass the order down. "His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly raised his voice: "From today on, I declare war on all the bandits in Taihang Mountain: either surrender, die, or get out of Taihang Mountain! Apart from this, they will not have a fourth choice, and there will be no fourth fate!"
