Fang La became famous in Xikeng, strengthening the confidence of those who are ready to move in many places in Jiangnan, and poured a basin of cold water on the heads of the Jiangnan army.

The poor and white mud legs instantly became an invincible brigade in the eyes of officials in Jiangnan. From the initial underestimation of the enemy to the current fear of the enemy, there was no even buffering in the middle. The officials and yamen runners around Qingxi County either died or fled, and there was no other example. No one organized effective restraint and counterattack.

Many local officials in Muzhou have gone from taking it seriously at the beginning to being blamed by each other now. After all, five thousand imperial guards died, and no one could bear such a big mistake. Zhang Huiyan, the governor of Muzhou, was shocked and fainted when he heard the bad news. He gave a note without saying a word, explaining that the magistrate Ye Juzhong was the one who dispatched troops and generals, and it had nothing to do with him. He asked the court for help because there were only two thousand soldiers left in Muzhou, and Fang La could not defend it when he came to fight.

Just when the states and counties were in a mess, no one expected that someone would pour this basin of cold water back on the square wool head.

Personal bravery in the battle formation does not have much impact on the overall situation, but it has absolutely no effect on boosting morale. Establishing a heroic image and promoting heroic deeds is to enhance the soldiers' sense of honor and confidence and to combat the morale of the enemy.

A few days after the "Xikeng Victory" occurred, another news followed one after another.

'The Black Feather Guard's Supervisor Cao Hua, single shot into the enemy's formation, killed Fang La's third son Fang Bo on the spot, defeated the enemy's general Li Tianrun, and killed 158 enemies overnight, and rushed to the walls of Qingxi City. The hang of the city heads around the city shocked the heroes. Fang La's army closed the city gates and did not dare to fight.'

The prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River were in an uproar, which was even more unbelievable than hearing the 5,000 imperial guards being wiped out, but they had to believe it. Because this news came from Fang La's army.

"Hahaha... What a Cao Hua... I am worthy of being my son-in-law..."

In the palace of Baima Mountain, King Kang could no longer remain calm, and he was happy to express his feelings and told his staff about the news that had just been heard. The gloom of the past few days was swept away, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Zhao Huai and Song Yang both sat in the study, although they had admiration in their eyes, they were not surprised.

Zhao Huai nodded and chuckled: "I had known that Mr. Cao had excellent martial arts skills. He took two hundred light cavalry and took the rebels back to his nest. It would be strange if he couldn't fight back."

Many staff nodded slightly. Although they felt that this matter would not make King Kang look happy, they had just experienced a big defeat and a small victory was enough to inspire people.

Who would have thought that King Kang would stand up after slapping the table:

"Cao Hua fought alone into the enemy formation, and he was alone, carrying the horse spear passed down by the Han family, and killed all the two hundred soldiers of the rebels, cut off Fang La's third son's head and threw it back to Qingxi City. He also said, "Wu'an Hou Cao Hua is here, let Fang La come out!"... Hahahaha... I dreamed that I would go and see that scene..."

The commander of the Hujie Army, Song Yang, was shocked, and his first reaction was:

"This is impossible. Two hundred women and children fled, and even one person cannot kill them..."

"That's why the enemy was killed by 158, not 200. This news was obtained from the refugees who caught it. Someone fled in Fang La's army that night. Fang La did not dare to open the city gate for two days..."

Song Yang and several staff members opened their mouths and didn't know what to evaluate. The storyteller didn't dare to make it like this, but it seemed nothing unbelievable to put it on the "Kyoto Tai Sui". The emperor's words "One person can stop three hundred iron armors" have been heard. They used to think it was a metaphor, but now they find out that it is a fact.

King Kang was happy and walked back and forth in the house, continuing:

"There is a group of bandits in Shaoxing. They were originally going to go to join Fang La. Before they left Shaoxing, they heard that Cao Taisui was in Qingxi County and ran back in shame... Hahaha.... They rode alone to defeat the enemy's courage and became famous all over the world. With Cao Hua here, why are we afraid of a group of bandits in Jiangnan... "

Zhao Huai felt a little awkward when he heard this, and thought for a while: "Father, it should be more appropriate to 'famous and famous all over the world'."

King Kang was also very excited and said seriously with his hands behind his back:

"After ancient times, all those who have accomplished great things have praised them and slandered them.

In front, Wu'an Jun killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers, and later, Xiang Wang Liu slaughtered the city.

In the past, I was able to be a good general with the word "unparalleled" and that was not a notorious person. I, the Song Dynasty, lacked such a person with a bad reputation all over the world."

After King Kang said this, many staff members really felt that it made sense. Song Yang thought about it:

"The Prince Cao is indeed brave in this battle, but compared with Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, it seems inappropriate..."

This is the truth. King Kang nodded, sat down and raised his hand gently:

"Cao Hua is so big. This time he is just showing his sharpness. He gives him twenty years to travel around the world. It is also possible that the great power of the Han and Tang dynasties in the Song Dynasty will be the best..."

Many staff blinked their eyes and felt that their prince was a little excited, but they did not dissuade them. After all, the soldiers in Jiangnan were indeed terrible, and they had never encountered a shocking victory in decades.

After calming down for a moment, King Kang remembered something again and stood up and said:

"Show a note to the emperor, transfer the troops from Hangzhou over and let Cao Hua commander..."

Before he could finish his words, a guard ran in outside, holding an imperial edict.

King Kang was also confused. He had not expected that the news had not yet reached the capital. He thought it was an imperial edict for the dispatch of troops to come, so he hurriedly got up and took it.

Many staff members were sober and frowned slightly, obviously feeling that the imperial edict came in a bit inexplicable.

King Kang opened the imperial edict with a smile, and just glanced a few times, his face suddenly sank.

Seeing King Kang's face, the room slowly became quiet, silent.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zhao Huai was a little puzzled and asked softly.

King Kang closed the imperial edict, stood there and thought for a while, and then suddenly threw the imperial edict to the ground.

Bang-

Many staff members were frightened and hurriedly ran over and knelt down, picked up the imperial edict, and said in a trembling voice:

"Don't calm down."

King Kang's face turned pale and walked back and forth in the study. After a long silence, he spoke:

"Cao Hua privately dispatched troops to garrison and interfered with the war between the two armies in the Xikeng area. He was responsible for his faults. He was young and would not pursue the matter. He would not take it as an example. He immediately returned to Beijing... Let's goofy, who told me about Cao Hua's borrowing troops?!"

The staff in the room knelt down quickly, and Song Yang and Zhao Huai also stood up, daring not to speak.

An aide thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Governor Cao failed to borrow troops from the prince that day, so he went to the Xiangjun garrison again. I'm afraid..."

"Damn it, confused!"

King Kang was immediately angry and angrily said in front of several staff members with his hands behind his back: "70% of the officials in Jiangnan are from Taishi Cai, and the remaining 30% are not good things. Why is Cao Hua so confused? This is not giving the handle to them..."

Zhao Huai lowered his head and thought for a while: "The Prince Cao... There is no other way... the imperial edict has been sent..."

King Kang sighed and sat back to his seat: "Everyone knows Cao Hua's ability. He should not have great achievements in the Diankui Si, otherwise he would be very successful and would be rewarded without any reward. The emperor's brother has always been suspicious and has been provoked by others. I am afraid..."

King Kang thought for a long time, but finally sighed:

"Send the imperial edict to Muzhou, let Cao Hua settle the refugees and then return. I will give the court a letter, which means that the situation in Jiangnan is chaotic and the Diankui Office needs to assist in defense to see if Cao Hua can be kept."
