Li Xuantian was very angry. He didn't expect Li Ye to dare to confront him.

"That's outrageous! It doesn't matter if Li Ye loses the battle.

But he has remained silent for so many days, is he trying to deceive the emperor?"

“Perhaps the Sixth Prince has some clever plan that needs to be implemented slowly.

Can we give it a little more time?"

Shangguan Qi spoke.

As a prime minister, there are many things to deal with.

Over the years, Li Ye has helped me a lot in need of money.

Deep down, Shangguan Qi was still willing to help Li Ye get out of his grievances.

After all, it is really too difficult to ask a prince who has no ambition to lead troops to fight.

He didn't want Li Ye to be punished.

When I'm short of money in the future, I can ask the Sixth Prince to help me, which can save me a lot of trouble.

"Hmph, what clever tricks could he have? Although the report didn't explicitly state it, the words between the lines already showed that Li Ye had no intention of fighting at all.

They will probably stay for a while until their food and fodder are exhausted, and then they will withdraw."

Li Xuantian was very angry.

Deceiving His Majesty is a serious crime, more serious than losing a battle.

This means that Li Ye didn't take his words seriously at all.

In ancient times when imperial power was supreme, this kind of situation would never be allowed to happen.

"Or the emperor can issue another imperial decree, ordering the Sixth Prince to launch an attack immediately!" Shangguan Qi said tentatively.

He wanted to divert Li Xuantian's attention and tell him not to punish him in a hurry.

Give Li Ye one more chance.

Li Xuantian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Give him another half month. If he doesn't launch an attack, I will not let him off lightly."

After Li Xuantian finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Shangguan Qi and said, "Don't secretly send someone to inform Li Ye. If I find out, I will never let you off easily."

Shangguan Qi felt a strong pressure.

Beads of sweat immediately covered his forehead.

He quickly replied, "I dare not!"

"Humph, you'd better not dare!"

Shangguan Qi wiped his forehead carefully after he took his leave.

He whispered to himself, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you.

The Emperor is truly angry this time, so you better take care of yourself."

The next day.

Everyone in Vulture Mountain gathered together.

All the gates of the village were opened and all weapons were removed.

Li Ye rode in the front and led the army slowly forward.

Lei Ying was the first to kneel on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

The others also knelt and shouted, "Welcome His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

Li Ye rode his horse to the front of them and said, "No need to be polite!"

Li Ye got off his horse only after they all stood up.

He walked up to Li Ye and reached out to grab his wrist.

With a relieved smile on his face, he said, "This prince was not wrong about you, and I will not break my promise to any of you.

Bring everyone with you and follow this prince back to the capital.

On the way, the shopkeepers will make arrangements according to your situation.

Even if the imperial court cannot allocate the resettlement funds in time, this prince will advance the payment.

I will never let any of you suffer any injustice."

After hearing Li Ye's words, the people in the village finally put their worries to rest.

I was also very moved.

In order to reassure them, a prince actually went to such lengths.

They knew that surrender was definitely the best decision they could make in their lives.

Li Ye asked Lei Ying to ride on the horse and walk side by side with him.

And let the soldiers take good care of the elderly and children.

It was inconvenient to travel, so everyone took carriages or rode horses.

Don't give up on anyone.

The people on Vulture Mountain then realized that the military camp was filled with either veterans or remnants of the army.

It's not a normal army at all.

Li Ye saw Lei Ying's doubts and said with a smile: "Do you feel cheated?

Such an army is incapable of capturing Vulture Mountain anyway?"

"I dare not, but I am very suspicious of Your Highness leading such a large army."

Li Ye patted his shoulder and explained with a smile: "Don't look at them as veterans and remnants of the army, they are extremely experienced in combat.

Moreover, many strategies for attacking the strongholds were proposed by them.

The court and the Ministry of War consider them a burden, but this prince believes they are all elite troops."

Lei Ying was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted.

Not only did he not regret surrendering, but he was even more moved.

The prince is so attentive to the old soldiers and will definitely not let them down.

He immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince has achieved such a feat. Everyone in Vulture Mountain must be loyal to His Highness."

"Hello, this prince will definitely not treat you unfairly! Let's hurry up and return to the capital as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Lei Ying was completely conquered by Li Ye's courage and vision.

Decided to be loyal to him for the rest of her life.

Thanks to mutual help, the journey was not slow.

The people on Vulture Mountain look forward to seeing the outside world and living a good life.

The soldiers in the barracks thought they would be rewarded when they returned.

It felt like a dream to make Vulture Mountain surrender without any casualties.

It feels extremely incredible.

But it was realized by His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince.

He made great contributions without suffering any injuries.

Who doesn't like such a commander?

Zhao Wudi has not yet received the emperor's decree.

I received news from the front line first.

A scout rode his horse and rushed to the front of the tent.

He jumped off his horse and rushed into the hall: "Report to the general, a great victory on the front line, all the bandits in Vulture Mountain have surrendered and are heading this way!"

All the generals present were stunned.

I can't believe the news is true.

I just received news not long ago that the Sixth Prince had been keeping his troops in place, but now he has actually taken down Vulture Mountain.

How is this possible?

Even if we send an army of 100,000 to besiege them, it is impossible to win in such a short time.

"This is complete nonsense! Who told you to spread false information?" Zhao Wudi became furious when he heard this.

"Everything I said is true! The returning army is less than seventy miles away from us!

If the general doesn't believe it, he will soon be able to wait for the army to return to the capital."

"So the previous statement that Your Highness is keeping the troops on hold is false news?" Zhao Wudi was still very angry.

"To reply to the General, the news before is also true!"

Zhao Wudi was so angry that he smashed the teacup.

Sisi Si was waiting for the scout: "Are you kidding me, General?

Vulture Mountain is a strategically located mountain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Tell me how to capture Vulture Mountain in a short period of time!"

Seeing Zhao Wudi completely enraged, the scout was so frightened that he trembled all over and said in a tearful voice, "I have been observing the situation in the military camp and have absolutely not lied about the military intelligence.

I really don't understand why Vulture Mountain surrendered so suddenly.

Because the general instructed us to only observe in secret.

I have no idea what method was used.

Why not wait until His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince arrives and ask him in person? "

Zhao Wudi's eyes were uncertain and he couldn't make a decision for a moment.

After a moment, he finally couldn't help but give the order: "The entire army will camp here. Select fifty fast cavalrymen to follow me to welcome His Highness the Sixth Prince."

He wanted to see with his own eyes the bandits surrendering on Vulture Mountain, and he also wanted to find out why these bandits surrendered without attacking.
