Li Guangbi felt a surge of anger in his chest. Ang Lee was provoking him by blocking the way, but at the same time, he was also very puzzled. Why would Ang Lee deliberately let the Fan Army go? What was the inside story? _ ()
.`
There were flags of the Hengye Army on both sides of the mountain. This made Li Guangbi believe that as long as he dared to lead his troops to force his way in, he would definitely not be able to return.
"General, since it's an order from the commander, we can't disobey."
Li Guangbi frowned and rolled his eyes at the general. "The commander wants us to pursue the remnants of the Fan Army. Why would he give such an order?"
Having served under Wang Zhongsi for many years, Li Guangbi understood Wang Zhongsi very well. He immediately saw through Ang Lee's lie.
"General, if Li Shaolang refuses to back down, our army really can't pass."
Li Guangbi nodded gently and smiled bitterly. "This Li Shaolang is young and impetuous. After winning a few battles, he has forgotten who he is. He has really let down the commander's expectations."
"General, since things have already come to this, then let's …"
Li Guangbi looked up at Ang Lee and said loudly, "Li Shaolang and the Fan Army really have a good relationship!" After that, he looked at his subordinates behind him and shouted, "Retreat!"
"Go, go, go!"
Under Li Guangbi's leadership, a thousand Tang Army cavalry rode their horses and left the entrance of the valley.
Ang Lee looked at the backs of the Tang Army and heaved a sigh of relief. This time, he really felt that he had gone too far. But in order to get the young sprout back, he did not hesitate.
"Big Brother, you are giving a fake military order. If Li Guangbi tells the commander, how are you going to explain it?"
Ang Lee sighed and said helplessly, "For the young sprout, Big Brother doesn't have a choice. At most, I will take a bramble and ask for punishment. You don't have to worry. Uncle will forgive me."
Although he didn't know much about Wang Zhongsi, Li An believed that as a regional commander, Wang Zhongsi would definitely be magnanimous. It was impossible for Wang Zhongsi to punish him for such a small matter. Furthermore, he wasn't a real soldier, so it would be fine for him to be lectured. _ 8

"Big Brother, what should we do now? Are we just going back like this?"
Ang Lee nodded and said softly, "Naturally, we have to go back and ask for Wang Jieshuai's forgiveness. Tell the warriors to assemble immediately."
###
In Zhang Qiqiu's residence in Anbian City, Wang Zhongsi was kneeling in the main hall. Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Ziyi, Geshu Han, An Zhongzhang, Li Guangbi, and the other generals were all present.
While reporting the results of the battle, Li Guangbi told Wang Zhongsi everything about Ang Lee's fake orders and how he had let the remnants of the Fan Army escape.
When they learned about this, not only was Wang Zhongsi greatly surprised, Guo Ziyi, Zhang Qiqiu, and the others were also confused. Ang Lee spared no effort in attacking the Tibetan army. He defeated five thousand men with three hundred men and attacked from hundreds of miles away, causing the Tibetan army to suffer heavy losses. How could such a person deliberately let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army and even fake orders to stop the Tang Army cavalry from pursuing them? No one could figure it out even if they racked their brains.
"What the hell is Wu Yang doing?" There was a hint of anger in Wang Zhongsi's voice.
"It's inevitable for a young man to be a little frivolous. Commander, please calm down."
Zhang Qiqiu quickly explained, pleading for Ang Lee.
Wang Zhongsi's anger did not improve at all. He shouted, "Letting the remnants of the Tibetan army escape for no reason and giving false orders to a general. Either of these is a capital offense. You've really disappointed me."
At this moment, Wang Zhongsi had a feeling of disappointment. Ang Lee had already shown extraordinary talent, but he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually dared to give false orders. This was not a trivial matter. The battlefield was a matter of life and death. If this kind of thing became a habit, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing Wang Zhongsi's anger, Guo Ziyi and Zhang Qiqiu looked at each other and quickly nodded and pleaded, "Commander, Ang Lee would never do these things for no reason. There must be a reason behind it. It's better to wait for him to come back and ask him clearly."
"Yes, Commander. Ang Lee has made great achievements in defending Anbian City. He is not a person who fooled around. He must have his own difficulties." ﹏ 8
Zhang Qiqiu followed to explain for Ang Lee.
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand and sternly said, "No matter what the reason is, you cannot give false orders. This is a big taboo in the army. Don't you all know that? This kid is too young and does not know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Guo Ziyi could hear the anger in Wang Zhongsi's voice. There was a hint of disappointment. Thus, he went along with Wang Zhongsi and persuaded, "Commander, you're right. Li Shaolang is too young and arrogant. He doesn't know the rules of the army. However, as the saying goes, if a jade is not cut, it will not become a tool. Such a talented person should be properly honed. Otherwise, an unpolished jade will become a useless rock. Wouldn't that be a pity?"
These words touched the bottom of Wang Zhongsi's heart. He nodded in agreement and sternly said, "General Guo is right. Ang Lee is an unpolished jade that needs to be carved. He must be carved properly. He must not be wasted."
"Reporting, Commander, Li Shaolang requests an audience."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongsi smiled and ordered, "Put him in prison. Lock him up for three days."
"Yes, Commander."
Zhang Qiqiu was stunned and hurriedly said, "Commander, why don't you ask Li Shaolang why he let the remnants of the Fan Army go?"
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand and sternly said, "This kid does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He needs to be locked up for a while to grind down his arrogance. If he has a reason, ask him later."
Geshu Han, Li Guangbi, and the other generals saw this and nodded in agreement. In their eyes, a youth like Ang Lee who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth needed to be taught a lesson. They wanted him to understand that the army was serious and disciplined. You could not do whatever you wanted.
"Reporting, Commander, Li Kunxiong, Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, and Zhang Erniu are kneeling outside and begging for mercy."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongsi grinned and laughed. He looked at the generals and said loudly, "Look, this kid is quite capable. He has a group of friends at such a young age. These brats are also quite bold. They actually dared to threaten this marshal. Men, throw them all into prison and let the five of them reunite in prison."
"Yes, Commander."
Wang Zhongsi's decision to put Ang Lee's group of five in prison was unanimously approved by the generals. Although Ang Lee had committed a capital offense and should be executed, Ang Lee was not a soldier and did not know the military rules. Naturally, he could be given a lighter punishment. Moreover, everyone admired Ang Lee's talent. It would be a pity to execute him like this. It was human nature for heroes to appreciate each other.

In the prison of Anbian City, Ang Lee was put in an empty cell. Because of his mistake, Ang Lee appeared very calm and did not resist. In his opinion, Wang Zhongsi was just angry and would let him out soon.
"Hurry, go in."
Following the jailer's order, Li Feiyu, Li Kunxiong, Li Feiyu, and Erniu all walked into the same cell as Ang Lee.
"Shouyu, Kunxiong, Fei Yu, Erniu, why are you all here?"
Ang Lee's expression was strange. However, thinking about it carefully, these people were his good brothers. Seeing him in prison, they would definitely plead for him. That was why they were all here.
"Big Brother, it must be that Li Guangbi who told on Big Brother and put you in prison."
Li Kunxiong's tone was somewhat angry.
Ang Lee smiled lightly: "Li Guangbi didn't do anything wrong. It was indeed Big Brother who let the rebels go. He should bear the necessary responsibility."
"Big Brother, but Commander Ji didn't even ask and directly put you in prison. What is the meaning of this?"
Ang Lee said softly: "Big Brother let the remnants of the rebels go. Those are all high-ranking officials. If Uncle doesn't lose his temper, how will he explain it to his subordinates? However, you don't have to worry. If Uncle wants to pursue the matter, I will bear all the blame."
"Big Brother, what are you talking about? If there is a crime, we will bear it together."
"Yes, if there is a crime, we brothers will bear it together."
Seeing that his brothers were willing to share the blame with him, Ang Lee felt satisfied. With the help of his good brothers, he would be able to make a name for himself in the Tang dynasty.
The environment of the prison was not very good. The light was very dim, and there was an unpleasant smell that made people feel very uncomfortable. Of course, this was a prison after all. If it was very comfortable, wouldn't it become a guest's house?
Ang Lee found a relatively clean place, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest. He was thinking about when Wang Zhongsi would summon him. Li Feishou Yu lay on a haystack with his hands on the pillow and looked at the ceiling of the cell in boredom.
Erniu Zhang held the bars of the cell with both hands and looked around from time to time. Li Feiyu was leaning against the bars next to him. Li Kunxiong was pacing back and forth in the cell, looking a little anxious.
A whole day had passed. Other than the prison guard delivering a few crude meals, no one else came to the cell, not even Wang Zhongsi's shadow.
This made Ang Lee feel a little anxious. After all, it had been a day. Wang Zhongsi's anger should have subsided. He should at least meet him and ask for the reason.
Li Kunxiong and Zhang Erniu were pacing back and forth anxiously. From time to time, they would curse outside the cell to vent their anger. Even Li Feiyu and Li Feiyu, who were usually calm, were anxious. After all, people would feel uncomfortable when their freedom was restricted. Moreover, the environment of the cell was too bad. Even the most cultured people would become irritable in the cell.
"Big Brother, what is Wang Zhongsi trying to do? If he wants to kill us, at least do it quickly."
Li Kunxiong was furious and called Wang Zhongsi by his name.
Ang Lee suppressed his anxiety and scolded, "Kunxiong, it has only been a day. Why are you so anxious?"
Li Kunxiong was unhappy and found a place to sit down.
"Go in."
Following the prison guard's call, a young man carrying a basket walked in.
"Zhang Guangcheng, what are you doing here?"
Erniu Zhang glared at the newcomer with anger in his voice. Kunxiong and Fei Yu's expressions were not friendly either.
When Ang Lee was imprisoned, the four of them pleaded for mercy for Ang Lee, but Zhang Guangcheng did not.
