A group of people rushed outside, staring blankly at the flames rising into the sky not far away.

That was where the food and fodder were stored, but it was burned by a big fire.

Food and fodder are so important in the army that they must not be lost. Without food, the soldiers will mutiny immediately.

The Seventh Prince yelled in rage, "How could this happen? How could someone sneak in?"

The warlord's eyes widened in disbelief.

How could such a solid arrangement be broken? There was no way an outsider could get in. Could it be a traitor?

"Black Hawk, how did you protect yourself? What happened tonight is all your responsibility."

Black Hawk looked at the warlord coldly, "I am not in charge of food and fodder. Warlord, how do you do things?"

The emperor was on guard against him, so Black Hawk was only responsible for fighting. All food and logistics matters were managed by the governor, and the governor had the final say on what to eat.

Usually, he always publicizes his hard work and great achievements everywhere.

Now that something has gone wrong, he is trying hard to pass the blame.

The Seventh Prince naturally helped his own family, "You are the commander-in-chief, and you are in charge of all matters in the barracks. If something goes wrong, you will be fully responsible."

Black Hawk gave them a cold look and said, "Why don't you go put out the fire? Do you think you can solve the problem by arguing here?"

They only grabbed half of the food, which was originally rationed for seven days, but now it was halved, leaving only enough for three days.

Now, the pressure became huge. If food was not delivered within three days, we would have to evacuate.

Black Hawk frowned, "Who set the fire? Did they catch anyone?"

The subordinate reported cautiously, "No, it should be the Jinyiwei who took action. The Jinyiwei is omnipresent and they have people everywhere."

"The former Jinyiwei commander Xiao Linfeng came to Licheng. This seems to be his method."

Xiao Linfeng? The people of Jin were not unfamiliar with this name.

The Seventh Prince felt that everything was out of control. "Black Hawk, you have three days to capture Licheng and Ning Zhiwei alive, otherwise you will be punished by military law."

The expressions of the generals were intriguing. Did they think of themselves as emperors? Why were they so impatient?

Black Hawk didn't comment, as if he didn't hear it, and turned around and went back.

The Seventh Prince looked at his receding figure, furious, "What's his attitude? Don't think you can ignore the imperial power just because you can fight."

Black Hawk returned to the tent exhausted and saw Sang'er reading a letter with his head down.

"Sanger, what are you doing?"

Sanger's body stiffened, then he calmly folded the letter and put it in his arms.

She said openly, "I received a letter from home. My father's old injury relapsed and asked me if I could get some good medicine."

Black Hawk sat down on the ground and said, "Show me the letter."

Sanger looked embarrassed. "No, I won't bother you, General. It's not easy for you. The Emperor only gave you the right to lead the army to fight. Everything else was given to others. You are restricted in every way."

Black Hawk sighed silently. He really wanted to find a peaceful and tranquil place to live a quiet life with his wife and children.

Sanger glanced at him and said, "I'll bring you food right away."

After a while, she came in with a tray, her face full of anger, "The Seventh Prince is too much, how could he do this to you? He himself has no ability, he doesn't know how to do anything, but he keeps giving orders, it's really annoying."

Black Hawk took the tray, took out four dishes and a large bowl of rice, "He said he knows the art of war, which is far better than mine."

Sanger was shocked. "How is it possible? You are the best military strategist in the world."

Black Hawk took a bite of rice and said, "It's strange, Ning Ran's military tactics are somewhat similar to mine."

Sangger paused while serving him the food, but quickly returned to normal, "Yes, we all learn the Art of War from Sun Tzu, which comes from the same source. All military strategies in the world are the same, and it all depends on who performs better."

Black Hawk looked at her deeply and said, "I wonder whose military strategy is better, Ning Zhiwei or I."

Sanger said without hesitation, "Of course it's you."

She changed the subject and asked, "Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

Black Hawk said calmly, "Only after a fight can you know her depth and style."

"Pass the order down, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and launch a surprise attack tonight."

"Yes."

Late at night, the surprise attack came as expected, but Li Cheng was well prepared.

This time it's not a large-scale army approaching, but more like a test.

However, when Black Hawk and a group of generals saw those soldiers being blown away before they even got close to the city gate, their expressions were extremely solemn.

The generals' eyes widened. "Oh my God, what kind of weapon is hidden in the ground? It will explode as soon as you step on it."

"It's so scary. There are corpses everywhere within a hundred steps."

"As expected of the Ning family army's head coach, he is so powerful, and his every move is like a thunderbolt."

"Isn't it? Ning Zhiwei is a rare talent in a century. Few people can rival her."

The Seventh Prince glared at his lieutenants fiercely, "Are you crazy? You actually praised an enemy general. You are generals of the Jin Kingdom."

Everyone was silent. Yes, they were hostile countries, but that did not stop them from admiring the strong.

When you become strong enough, your opponents will look at you with admiration.

Of course, the Seventh Prince, who lived among the people and had never been to a battlefield, could not understand this.

"Black Hawk, think of a solution quickly."

"Boom." It exploded again, shaking the earth.

The same thought came to everyone's mind: Can this battle be won?

Every step the soldiers took cost them blood.

Seeing their comrades falling in a pool of blood one after another, the soldiers' ability to endure reached its limit. They turned around and ran, screaming "Ahhhhhhhh".

No more fighting, no more fighting, saving your life is what’s most important.

The Seventh Prince's face turned blue with anger. "They are retreating again, these cowards! Supervisors, take action. Whoever dares to retreat will have his head chopped off."

Poor soldiers, there were explosives buried in the ground in front of them and the supervision team behind them to harvest their lives, resulting in countless casualties.

Black Hawk couldn't stand it any longer, and called back.

The Seventh Prince was furious. "How can that be possible? We can't just retreat like this. We don't have much time left."

Black Hawk's face was extremely solemn, "We can't win. The army's morale has been broken."

The Seventh Prince wanted to climb up by stepping on the corpses of the soldiers to build his eternal foundation. "I won't allow it."

Black Hawk made a suggestion expressionlessly, "Seventh Prince, how about you lead your troops into battle and fight Ning Zhiwei for a few rounds?"

The Seventh Prince's face turned pale and blue.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, "Listen, soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, my emperor does not want to start another war. If you retreat to your original position according to the previous agreement, my emperor will forgive you for the past."

The Seventh Prince was immediately furious. "Bullshit! How can we possibly take back the city we conquered with so much difficulty?"

"What a beautiful thought."

The voice sounded again, "General Black Hawk, my Majesty has sent you an invitation to catch up with us. The location is set by the Lishui River. What do you think?"

Old friendship? Invitation? Everyone looked at Black Hawk in unison, their eyes full of surprise and doubt.

Black Hawk's head buzzed, and his first reaction was to use a strategy of sowing discord.
