The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Outside Yingzhou City, Tianzhu Mountain stands fifty miles away.

The reason why it is called Tianzhu Mountain is because the mountain is extremely high and looks like a pillar supporting the sky.

The bandits outside Yingzhou City are hiding in Tianzhu Mountain.

According to the information given by Wei Ting, there are more than 300 bandits.

But in the past few times, the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion were killed by bandits and fled without even seeing their faces.

Wei Ting doesn't have the final say on how many thieves there are.

Today is the day when Yingzhou Zhechong Mansion goes to Tianzhu Mountain to exterminate the bandits.

Yingzhou officials all saw off Zhao Chen and others at the city gate.

When the people heard the news, they gathered around here. .??.

Mr. Zhao, the bandits outside the city are fierce. You should be careful when you go to suppress the bandits. Wei Ting looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.

His tone was full of concern.

Thank you, Governor Wei, for your concern. It's just a bandit, it's nothing. Zhao Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.

Wei Ting nodded, but felt extremely funny in his heart.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Chen said that the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion were gathering at the city gate today, preparing to go out to suppress the bandits.

But how many people were in front of them at this moment?

Less than 30% of the 1,200 people from Yingzhou Zhechong Mansion came.

There were more than 300 people who were sparse and listless, let alone going to exterminate the bandits outside the city.

Wei Ting felt that these guys would have run away before they even got near Tianzhu Mountain.

Didn't you say you were going to Tianzhu Mountain to suppress the bandits? Why are so many people here?

There are more than a thousand people in Zhechong Mansion, but there are only about three hundred people here.

Isn't that right? I heard yesterday that many soldiers from Zhechong Mansion left Zhechong Mansion when they heard they were going to wipe out the bandits in Tianzhu Mountain.

That's right. In the previous campaigns against thieves, they didn't even see the shadow of the bandits, so they were beaten and fled. The heads of several successive captains were missing.

The man next to Governor Wei should be the new Captain Zhechong.

, but his age doesn’t seem very old.

Aren't you going to die?

There are rumors that the bandits outside the city were the subordinates of Prince Yin and King Qi. Governor Wei was also a subordinate of Prince Yin. What do you think...

Shh, don't say this nonsense!

The people whispered that the origins of the bandits outside the city might be related to Wei Ting.

At that time, many people became distraught and did not dare to continue.

Wei Ting's expression changed slightly, and he laughed with Zhao Chen and said, Mr. Zhao, don't listen to their nonsense. No one knows where the thieves outside the city came from. If they were really the traitors back then, someone would definitely capture them and hand them over. It’s up to His Majesty to deal with it.”

They're just stupid people. Of course I don't care what they say.

Captain Wei, I will send you here today. When I come back with my army, I will definitely come to harass Governor Wei. Zhao Chen looked at Wei Ting and meant something.

Wei Ting smiled, held hands with Zhao Chen, and turned to leave.

Zhao Chen still wants to come back?

How could he be given this opportunity?

Wei Ting understood that Zhao Chen actually meant to doubt himself in what he just said.

But, you went to suppress thieves and you want to come back?

The previous captains of Zhechong thought the same way.

…

General, there is news from Yingzhou that Zhao Chen is leading 300 people out of the city and toward our Tianzhu Mountain.

Tianzhu Mountain, the terrain here is steep.

There is a slightly flat area on the mountainside, where the Tianzhu bandits are located.

At this moment, a Tianzhu mountain bandit said to the burly man with a cold face in front of him.

The man has a gray beard and white hair can be seen on his temples.

Three hundred people? The burly man

A sneer appeared on his face.

Yes, general, the people in Zhe Chong Mansion knew that Zhao Chen was coming to Tianzhu Mountain, so they were scared away.

These people who came here are all the old, weak, sick and disabled in Zhechong Mansion. If they leave Zhechong Mansion, they will have no source of livelihood.

General, didn't you say that Zhao Chen is the famous person next to the Dog Emperor? How come he only has so little ability? the bandit asked the man in front of him.

Wei Ting conveyed the news of the emperor's visit to Yingzhou very early.

And Zhao Chen beside the emperor must have attracted a lot of attention.

After all, Zhao Chen's name has long spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Compared to others, Zhao Chen obviously attracts their attention more.

Young people become wild when they succeed. There are so many people like this. It's a pity that my son died too early, otherwise Zhao Chen... The man sighed and did not continue.

The thief murmured twice, as if he had something to say to the burly man in front of him.

You have been with me for so many years. If you have anything to say, just say it. The burly man waved his hand.

General, the young master is also in the ranks of annihilating us. If there is a fight... The bandit paused and stepped back without waiting for the burly man in front of him to speak.

Only the burly man was left in the room.

Suddenly, he punched the table in front of him so hard that it shattered.

…

Zhijie, I'm afraid it won't be that simple for the prince to let you and I lead the army this time. On the way north, Qin Qiong was riding on his horse and looked at Cheng Yaojin aside.

When sending troops to Goguryeo this time, no one expected that Li Tai would let Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong lead the army.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Tang army, it should not take much effort to defeat Goguryeo.

This is something Qin Qiong doesn't quite understand.

Defeating Goguryeo was a great achievement.

In this way, Li Tai gave himself the credit

Two of us?

This is not like Li Tai's style.

Actually, I had such doubts at first. Later, Duke Wei told me that this might be Li Tai trying to find us as a scapegoat.

A scapegoat? Qin Qiong's expression changed slightly.

This expedition is actually an undeclared war. Your Majesty would not necessarily be very angry if he knew about it.

We win, everyone is happy. The prince is wise and powerful, and he seizes the opportunity.

If we lose, it means that our commander-in-chief did not do well in the battle, leading to defeat.

Why didn't the prince let the other generals go out and instead let us lead the army? Isn't that what he was worried about! Cheng Yaojin sneered.

It was only after Li Jing told him this that he finally understood.

Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would never have thought of such a level.

Li Tai is young, but his mind is so insidious.

Qin Qiong frowned.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never led an army on an expedition.

This time I finally got a chance, but there was Li Tai's plan hidden behind it.

But don't worry. When we get to the border, we will be stationed there. Didn't Zhao Chen say that as long as Gao Jianwu dies, this will be our chance. Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Qin Qiong nodded and said with a worried look, I wonder how Zhao Chen and the others are doing now?

…

Da Zhao, I just asked the soldiers behind us. Five miles ahead of us is the entrance to Tianzhu Mountain.

But it's full of traps. If you're not careful, you can easily be ambushed.

They have lost many people here before. Cheng Chumo ran to Zhao Chen's side and pointed in the direction of Tianzhu Mountain that could be seen in front of him.

Let them rest where they are and look for any hunters nearby. They are familiar with the surroundings and may make unexpected discoveries. Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo said.
