The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

.......

The capital, the residence of the third prince.

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

"I said that he must not be allowed to go to Beiting alive. Now it's all right."

"A hundred thousand Xiongnu troops, a hundred thousand... were all defeated by him."

"And the heavy cavalry. Where did he get the heavy cavalry?"

Ning Jun's roar was heard from the room.

"Ning Jun, calm down!"

General Zhang Shijie frowned.

"Uncle, I really can't swallow this."

"The Crown Prince's reputation is growing, and Father likes him more and more. If this continues, I won't have a chance."

"Now that Old Nine has appeared, this king is even more finished."

There was a flash of resentment in the eyes of the Third Prince, and he said with gritted teeth.

He is not willing!

He must sit on the throne!

"It's useless for you to think about this now. The prince is currently at the peak of his power. You can't possibly go against him."

"Now the only way is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength."

"As for Ning Quan, why are you worried about him? His bloodline means he can't inherit the throne."

"Even if you have some strength, you won't be able to cause any waves in the future!"

Zhang Shijie consoled him.

"Okay, I understand!"

After a long silence, the Third Prince took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

At this time, he had to be patient and could only be patient.

.......

Prime Minister's Residence.

Li Junchen held a letter in his hand, with a rare smile on his lips.

The letter was sent by his beloved daughter. In addition to reporting her safety to him, it also described in detail the entire process of Ning Quan's battle with the Huns.

"Good, good, my precious daughter made the right choice! The Ninth Prince is truly extraordinary."

After reading the letter, Li Junchen said to himself.

Upon learning that a 100,000-strong Hun army was heading towards Hulan, Li Junchen could not sleep that night.

He had been worried these days, and only today when he learned in the court that the Huns had been defeated did he finally feel relieved.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Li Tai pushed the door open and walked in.

"Haha, your sister wrote to me."

Li Junchen handed the letter to Li Taiheng with a smile.

"Did your sister write to you? How is she?"

Li Taiheng quickly took the letter.

"Haha, my brother-in-law is really amazing."

"Father, you can rest assured now."

After reading the letter, Li Taiheng laughed excitedly.

Ning Quan actually defeated an army of 100,000 Huns. That's really awesome.

"Haha, what are you worried about? Isn't it just one problem after another?"

"His Majesty has set his sights on him and is determined to find out the origins of his heavy cavalry. He has ordered a thorough investigation."

Li Junchen shook his head and sighed.

"So, father, what are you going to do?"

Li Taiheng asked carefully.

"What should we do? Let's check it out."

"How about it, do you want to go to Hulan?"

Li Junchen looked at Li Taihengdao with a smile.

"Father, do you want me to go?"

"Of course, I can go and see Wanyue."

Li Taiheng said in surprise.

"Well, since you want to go, then go ahead."

"You are the head of the Ministry of War, so it is natural for you to go."

"However, you can only serve as deputy. I have decided that Ishihara, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, will serve as the chief envoy."

"Just follow along and observe. Don't interfere in the specific matters, and don't express any opinions."

Li Junchen instructed.

"Father, I understand. Don't worry."

Li Tai patted his chest and promised.

..........

Hulun City.

Ning Quan finished his breakfast and was about to go inspect the school.

"Your Highness, General Zhang Liao and General Li Cunxiao have returned."

At this time, Zhang Fei came to report.

"General Li Cunxiao and Zhang Liao are back!"

"Hahaha, did you deal with the bandits so quickly?"

Ning Quan said excitedly after hearing the report.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Let's go meet them."

After saying that, Ning Quan took Zhang Fei to the outside of the city gate.

From a distance, we saw Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao leading the army back.

Returning with them were a large number of captives, the families of the bandits and the rescued civilians.

"This general pays homage to His Highness!"

Coming closer, Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao bowed respectfully.

"Hahaha, no need to be polite."

"It seems that the two generals have returned with a great victory."

Ning Quan laughed.

"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and wiped out all three gangs of bandits, killing 5,000 of them, capturing 7,000 bandits and their families, and rescuing 2,000 captive civilians.

"There's only one remaining bandit group at the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains. I plan to march out again in a few days to completely wipe them out!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Well done!"

Hearing this, Ning Quan was overjoyed.

Having all the generals under his command brought him many benefits. One step Huo Qubing conquered the Donghu, and the next step Zhang Liao wiped out the bandits, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

This feeling is simply wonderful!

"Your Highness, this is the list of seized supplies. Please check it!"

Then Zhang Liao handed over the list of seized items.

"Haha, these bandits are quite wealthy."

"So much food and treasure?"

Ning Quan took a look at the list and immediately couldn't stop smiling.

Unexpectedly, there were so many gains from suppressing the bandits.

Thirty thousand shi of grain, more than three hundred thousand taels of silver, and a large number of gold, silver, and jewelry were enough for him to squander for a while.

"Prime Minister, first settle the captured people, and then ask them what they think. If they are willing to stay, that's best. If they don't want to stay, let them go."

"The same applies to the families of bandits. After screening, those who are found innocent will also be treated according to the above method. The rest will all be sent to the slave camp."

After a slight hesitation, Ning Quan gave the order.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhuge Liang immediately bowed and agreed.

"As for the bandits, General Li, you were responsible for identifying them last time, and you will be responsible this time as well."

"The old way: all the guilty will be executed, and the rest will be sent to the slave camps."

Ning Quan said to Li Cunxiao again.

"I obey my orders!"

Li Cunxiao clasped his fists solemnly.

"Very good, then let's get started right away."

Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction.

.......

That night, Ning Quan hosted a banquet for Zhang Liao and other generals.

The banquet was filled with people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

The next morning, Ning Quan called everyone together to discuss matters as usual.

In fact, Ning Quan had famous ministers under his command, such as Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Man Chong.

In terms of military affairs, he had Li Jing, Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu and other peerless generals, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

However, Ning Quan still insisted on meeting every day to understand the situation in all aspects and avoid negligence.

"See Your Highness."

Ning Quan walked into the front hall and everyone bowed to him.

"Hahaha, no need to be polite, just sit down."

Ning Quan waved his hand.

After expressing their gratitude, everyone took their seats.

"Prime Minister, have the resettlement of the people and the screening work been completed?"

"Your Highness, the people have been resettled. The identification of the bandits' families is still ongoing and is expected to take another two days."

Zhuge Liang bowed.

"Ah, very good."

"General Li, what about you?"

Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Your Highness, identifying bandits is relatively difficult and will take at least five days."

Li Cunxiao reported truthfully.

"Well, most of these bandits are extremely vicious and need to be carefully identified."

Ning Quan nodded and praised.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Li Cunxiao clasped his fists and said.
