The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 414 Resourcefulness
In less than ten days, the water conservancy accident in the south was finally found out.

According to the statements of Feng Sheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry and other officials, the crown prince Zhao Bi ordered the supervising officials to cut corners in order to steal money from the project, which led to an accident in the project.

Emperor Ming was furious when he heard the words. Although he was worried that the Cao family's power would not directly deprive Zhao Bi of the crown prince, he ordered someone to put him under house arrest in the East Palace, and the other responsible officials were temporarily imprisoned in the prison.

These officials were just obeying Zhao Bi's orders. Although they were wrong, it was not a serious crime. Only Li Xian was the most troublesome.

Li Xian, as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, is the supervisor of this project. The other important officials all pointed out that they were coerced by the order of the prince. Only Li Xian bit to death was the king of Jin who did not hesitate to frame the prince in order to frame the prince. I want Emperor Ming to uphold justice for the [-] people who lost their lives in the flood.

This matter was no small matter, Emperor Ming had always loved Jin Wang, he would rather believe that this matter was caused by the crown prince's greed, and he was unwilling to involve Jin Wang.

The head of the Dali Temple who was in charge of hearing the case was well aware of Emperor Ming's intentions, and released all the interfering officials after interrogating them, or demoting them from their posts, or ordering them to pay some fines. Hard-boned was convicted of accusing the prince of false accusation, deprived of his official position, and sentenced to ten years in prison.

It is a serious crime to accuse the prince of false accusation, so Li Xian was punished lightly because of Li Ling's fight against the Xiongnu.

It was Baja, the eldest son of Shanyuleheke, the leader of the Huns, who invaded the border of Daqi this time. Baja was ambitious and brave.

Last year when the Xiongnu invaded Daqi, the leader who led the army was Xieha, the youngest son of Shanyuleheke, who was beaten back by Zhou Yi. But he has a much bigger appetite than his half-brother. He is aiming to capture the five northern cities in order to slowly eat away at Daqi.

He led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to invade, but he was defeated in the first battle with Li Ling. Xie Ha, who was always good at fighting and gratified, was not angry after his defeat. He wrote a war letter with Li Ling the next day, threatening to fight Li Ling. Fight alone.

Li Ling responded to Baja, and in the early morning of the second day, the two armies faced each other. Li Ling sat on his horse after arranging his troops. , do you have the guts to compete with me today?"

Baha is tall and tall, as strong as a yak, and is the number one warrior of the Huns. As soon as Li Ling's words fell, he couldn't wait to gallop forward. He drove back and stabbed each other with his spears, Baha waved his Langya cudgel to forcefully block, when the weapons intersected, sparks shot out everywhere.

Relying on his good physical strength, Baha fought more and more fiercely, and Li Ling gradually couldn't hold back, so he retreated back on his horse. Baha was eager to win, and shouted: "Where is Li Ling, little boy?"

Seeing that the commander was defeated, Li Ling's army turned their heads and fled for their lives. Seeing this, the Huns' army chased after them aggressively.

The Xiongnu cavalry was rampant in the world, and they were the most difficult to deal with. Thousands of cavalry rolled forward, with momentum like overwhelming mountains and seas.

Li Ling's army fled for a while, and then gradually slowed down. The soldiers took out sharp triangular-shaped iron tools from the cloth bags they carried with them, and threw them behind them one after another. The iron objects pierced into their hooves, and fell down with a roar. For a while, the cavalry in the front row of the Xiongnu fell on their backs. Those cavalry were extremely fast.

Li Ling took care of the most difficult cavalry of the Xiongnu without any effort.

The general trend of the Xiongnu army was gone, Li Ling's army took advantage of the situation to counterattack at this moment, killing the Xiongnu army who had already lost their formation, and fled in a panic.

Seeing that Baha had fallen for Li Ling's plan, he no longer cared about being a hero, and hurriedly led the army back, but Li Ling chased after him on horseback, and threw out a zip line with perfect precision, and then Baha, who was running for his life in a hurry, was in a panic. He caught him alive and captured him.

Baha was captured alive by Li Ling, and the rest of the soldiers were also defeated.

Bach was tied up and taken into Li Ling's central army tent. He was a man of pride and had never suffered such humiliation in his life. When he saw Li Ling, he yelled at him: "Son Li Ling, what kind of skill are you to win against me by relying on tricks? If you are a man, let me go, let's have a real fight, if you really win me, I will be convinced."

Sitting in the handsome position, Li Ling looked up at Baha lightly, and replied "OK".

He waved his hands and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to untie Baja, and Baja stretched his muscles and bones, and said to Li Ling: "Li Shuai is really a man, how about we go to the outside of the tent to compete?"

Li Ling replied indifferently: "This commander only competes with the enemy on the battlefield, never in private."

As he spoke, he looked at Baja and said, "Go back, see you on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Baja looked at Li Ling in disbelief, and stammered, "You, you plan to let me go."

Li Ling ordered to the left and right guards: "Please send Prince Baha out."

Baha stared at Li Ling with doubtful eyes for a while, making sure that he really wanted to let him go, then he cupped his hands to Li Ling, said "thank you" and strode out of the tent.

Deputy General Liang Jin, as Li Ling's confidant, knew that he was a resourceful person, but he was still a little puzzled seeing Li Ling's sudden behavior.

After Baha went out, Liang Jin asked Li Ling doubtfully, "Baha is more difficult than his brother Xie Ha. The marshal has another clever plan for this move?"

Although these Xiongnu barbarians were fierce and good at fighting, brute force was not what they valued on the battlefield. Li Ling was resourceful, and it took no effort at all to deal with these barbarians, and he was able to repel them easily.

This group of barbarians would come to take advantage of the fire from time to time to rob, and Da Qi would be forced to deal with them every now and then. Now that Da Qi is poor and weak, the military pay for fighting the Huns this time was all patched together by everyone including his grandmother, mother, wife and family. Come out, next time, if they come to attack again, I am afraid that the court really has no money to deal with it.

What Li Ling made was a long-term plan, he wanted to make this group of barbarians no longer able to spare their energy to invade.

Li Ling did not directly respond to Liang Jin, but replied: "If this Baja is killed today, the victory of this battle is in sight, but they will come back after a while and let him go back. I will use this Baha, it is the pursuit of peace for ten to eight years in the north of Daqi."
