Seeing how Li Jian was treating him coldly, Cheng Yaojin knew very well that he had completely ignored the acting king in the past.
How could they suddenly become intimate?
He was indeed a shrewd person.
Cheng Yaojin's brain worked very quickly. He bowed (not even to Li Chengqian) and said,""Your Highness, I will go outside to take a look. I heard that Your Highness has achieved great things after coming to Bingzhou. I will go and take a look so that I can report to His Majesty and reward Your Highness as a model prince.”
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Jian nodded slightly and said indifferently,""Please do as you please. There's no need to exaggerate. You just have to tell Imperial Father the truth.”
"Yes, General."
After Cheng Yaojin left, Li Jian began to handle government affairs.
Although Xue Rengui, Luo Binwang, and the others hadn't returned, Li Jian could already see the outcome of the war on the system's mini-map.
This victory over Xue Yantuo would solidify his position in Bingzhou.
However, the threat from the north still existed. Xue Yantuo's army had only lost 100,000 men, and there were still hundreds of thousands who would come for revenge. There were also the Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, the 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the distant Arabian Empire, Goguryeo.
It was a fact that there was still a long way to go!
Li Jian was very ambitious. The most urgent thing in his plan was to build an army that would listen to him completely.
Moreover, this army had to be powerful, at least not weaker than the imperial court's black-armored army.
In the system, only when his level was above 6 could he open the technology tree. In other words, the system might reward him with firearms.
His current level was still 4.5. He still needed to work hard to start a war and win it.
Or maybe he could develop the economy and make Bing Province the wealthiest province in the world. The strength of the province could catch up to the national strength, and it could be compared to the entire empire!
Only in this way could he level up quickly. Otherwise, there was no other way!

Ta…
A fast horse passed through Bingzhou City. The soldier on the horse shouted,"
"Great victory! A great victory! It was a great victory at Bull Back Mountain! Victory, victory! Xue Yantuo's men had been defeated! We've been defeated!"
Outside the city, Xue Rengui's victorious army had already lined up neatly and slowly entered the city in an orderly manner.
Thousands of people lined the streets to welcome him.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned!
It had been a long time since he had seen such an exciting scene caused by a great victory!
Laughter and laughter were heard everywhere, and gongs and drums sounded. The people of Bingzhou were extremely excited.
Bingzhou City was a dangerous and isolated city.
In an instant, the scull was reduced to ashes!
The 18-year-old Xue Rengui was the first to enter the city.
Cheng Yaojin looked around but didn't know who it was.
As a roly-roly-roly figure in officialdom, this scene made Cheng Yaojin quickly think of the next step. The Crown Prince, the King of Yue was in trouble!
In the past, the competition for the throne was a one-on-one battle. Now, it seemed like it was going to be a three-legged battle!
Deep in his heart, Cheng Yaojin felt a trace of respect for Li Jian. He couldn't help but praise Li Jian in his heart."Good boy, you're three years ahead of your father.”
After the victorious and mighty army entered the city, Xue Rengui, Luo Binwang, and Xu Feng entered the main hall of the Provincial Governor's Office.
Cheng Yaojin also followed.
Li Jian was already seated in the main hall.
After seeing Li Jian, Xue Rengui knelt down on one knee. His face was filled with endless reverence as he said loudly,"
"Xue Rengui greets Your Highness! One hundred thousand of Xue Yantuo's men had already been killed by this general, and the other one hundred thousand had already fled far away to the north of the desert.”
Xue Rengui's expression was filled with gratitude towards Li Jian. This huge favor was enough for Xue Rengui to be grateful to Li Jian for the rest of his life.
Li Jian looked at Xue Rengui with a smile and said,""Rengui, this king has seen your ability. Get up!”
"Your Highness, I have no way to repay your kindness. In this life, I will only obey Your Highness. Your Highness ordered me to go east, but I will never go west!”Xue Rengui said gratefully.
Seeing this, Li Jian was delighted. It seemed that digging Xue Rengui out would be of great use to him.
This wasn't considered a system summon. Xue Rengui was originally a person of this era, and even his age was exactly the same as historical facts.
"Rengui, the soldiers have been fighting for many days and are extremely tired. Go back and rest for a few days. This king will reward them according to their achievements.”Li Jian said.
"Your Highness is kind and considerate. I will obey your orders!" Xue Rengui said gratefully.”
After saying that, Xue Rengui stood up, bowed, and walked out of the door.
After Xue Rengui left, Cheng Yaojin said excitedly,""Your Highness, this old minister has just read the battle report. This Xue Rengui is really brave. Your Highness obtaining such a good general is like the current Emperor obtaining Yuchi Jingde!”
"Old General Cheng has a good eye for people. This king hopes that Old General Cheng will put in a good word in front of Imperial Father and not hinder him.”Li Jian said in a soft and hard tone.
There were carrots, so he changed his name to Old General.
There was also a big stick to deter him from being restrained and not standing on the opposite side.
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly bowed and said,""This old subject doesn't dare. Your Highness has the heroic bearing of a young lord and the boldness of a tiger roaring under the heavens. This old subject is sincerely convinced!”
