Seeing his son's unconvinced look, Huang Long rubbed his forehead.
Who knows this son better than himself?
On the surface, Tianhu's record is brilliant; he has never been defeated since joining the army.
But all these achievements and credits were arranged by him beforehand; they were just gilded.
Based on these military achievements, he was awarded the title of "Ever-Victorious General," but this title also made his son increasingly complacent, believing himself to be an unparalleled military genius.
Little did they know...
Thinking of this, Huang Long sighed inwardly, thinking that there are gains and losses in everything.
Putting aside other factors, the Huang family is at least renowned from top to bottom.
He stood up, patted Huang Tianhu on the shoulder, and said:
"You are my son, how could I not believe you?"
"But this trip to the Beiku Grassland is of great importance, let me explain in detail..."
Huang Long then told his son his true intentions for going to Beiliang, and Huang Yuanlang, who was also one of his own, had already told him.
After he finished speaking, Huang Tianhu nodded repeatedly and said:
"I understand, Father. You want to deal with Qin Ze, right?"
"So what? Why should I listen to him? Do you think I can't even handle Qin Ze?" Huang Tianhu pointed at Huang Yuanlang, who had his arms crossed.
Huang Long rolled his eyes and said earnestly:
“My son, when Qin Ze first entered Beiliang, he only had eight hundred personal guards. Then he first quelled more than ten thousand bandits, and now he has killed eighty thousand Hu cavalrymen!”
"Think about it, what does this prove?"
Huang Tianhu crossed his arms, slightly raised his chin, and said disdainfully, "They're weak!"
Hearing this, Huang Yuanlang glanced sideways and snorted inwardly.
Huang Long touched his nose and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever considered that it's because Qin Ze is a skilled commander and strategist?"
"He fought on the battlefield at a young age and learned a lot of military strategy from Qin Haotian. He is not easy to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Huang Tianhu spread his hands, leaned back slightly, and widened his beady green eyes like a proud rooster. He raised his voice and said:
"Me too!"
"I am also skilled in strategy! And I am adept at commanding troops!"
"Not only that, but since I went to the battlefield, I have never been defeated. They all call me the ever-victorious general!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuanlang turned his face away.
Huang Long took a deep breath, his expression turned serious, and he pressed down on his son's shoulder again, saying:
“Tianhu, I know you have never tasted defeat, but this time is different. This time we are going to the Beiku Grassland. Now that 80,000 Hu horses have been killed by Qin Ze, the Beihu are now our sworn enemies.”
"We must take advantage of Qin Ze's battle with the Northern Hu to launch a surprise attack and kill him in one fell swoop, then frame the Hu Ma for it!"
"That is precisely why this opportune moment to strike is so crucial. If not arranged properly, we could very well end up like Qin Ze, facing pursuit from the Hu horses!"
“Yuan Lang joined the army a few years earlier than you. Although his achievements are not as brilliant as yours, he has more combat experience. As the saying goes, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It is more suitable for him to lead the troops this time. Do you understand?”
Huang Tianhu pondered his father's words carefully, then suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I understand, Father!"
Seeing that he had persuaded his son, Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his foolish son would lead troops recklessly on the battlefield and end up dying at the hands of the Hu people, which would be a great loss.
But to everyone's surprise, Huang Tianhu said something truly shocking:
"Father, His Majesty has appointed me to lead the troops, which means I am the one who will be the long ruler!"
"Otherwise, why would His Majesty appoint me instead of him?"
"Your Majesty has excellent judgment!" Huang Tianhu's face was full of pride.
Huang Yuanlang crossed his arms and looked down at his toes.
Huang Long rubbed his temples and sighed heavily in his heart.
I blame myself for letting him have it too easy, and he's completely lost himself in the title of "ever-victorious general."
At that moment, Huang Long felt a pang of regret.
But soon, he said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty sent you there for two reasons: firstly, because of your renowned reputation, and secondly, because you are my son. This is to give you a chance to earn merit, since I was just demoted by His Majesty. Do you understand?"
This time, he didn't wait for his son to say "I understand" before continuing:
"In short, this time when you're leading the troops, you must listen to Yuen Long the entire time!"
"Once you've finished your business and returned to Beiliang, not only you, but also Yuan Lang, will rise rapidly in rank and achieve great success!"
"My Huang family will surely be given important positions!"
"So this time you must listen to Yuanlang. Next time there is a need for you to lead troops into battle, your father will never let you just hold the title. I will give you full command and let you fight however you want!"
Seeing that his father had gone this far, Huang Tianhu sighed softly, lowered his head like a defeated rooster, and whispered:
"Okay, Dad, I understand. I'll listen to you."
Huang Long corrected, "It's not about listening to me, it's about listening to Yuan Lang."
"Yuen Long, come here."
Huang Yuanlang immediately lowered his arm and strode over with a powerful stride:
"Godfather, don't worry, leave this to me. No matter how skilled Qin Ze is at leading troops, he can't defend against attacks from both sides at the same time!" Huang Yuanlang patted his chest and assured him.
Huang Long nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you're an old general. No matter how good Qin Ze is at leading troops, he's still a young lad. The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant, and he definitely doesn't have your insight!"
"The 50,000 troops I'm giving you this time are all elites I handpicked from the Panlong Army. They are extremely brave in battle. With them, plus your combat experience, we will definitely be able to defeat Qin Ze smoothly!"
