。

Tomorrow will resume the third watch in the morning.

"The minister has a suggestion, and the minister thinks that the possibility of Tuyuhun's defeat is extremely high. When the time comes, we will learn the news, the road is far away, and when the news arrives here, Lord Tang will set off again, and then meet with the Tuyuhun Khan, and reach an agreement, and then come here to inform the prince, and then send troops, which will be delayed for too long.

At that time, the loss of Tuyuhun's strength will be too great, and if we send troops again, there will be too many difficulties.

Therefore, the minister suggested that Lord Tang should enter the Tuyuhun royal court in advance, and once Tuyuhun was defeated, he would directly meet with the Tuyuhun high-level and communicate quickly.

In order to ensure the safety of Lord Tang, the minister is willing to accompany Lord Tang to go with him. ”

Tang Fei immediately said: "Your Highness, the minister's opinion is very appropriate, and the minister is willing to go to the Tuyuhun royal court immediately." ”

Li Su was moved in his heart, just like in history, there is no shortage of iron-blooded loyal people in Datang. Tang Fei and Xiao Ti's behavior is the spiritual portrayal of most people in Datang.

Li Su also thinks that this is the best way to do it at the moment. So, he said, "Okay, then it's decided." Du He, you choose some of the most elite special forces, and you must ensure the safety of Lord Tang. ”

Du He said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the minister will personally bring people to ensure the safety of Lord Tang." ”

Li Su said: "Qing'er, you go to the kitchen and prepare a banquet, I will give Lord Tang a meal." ”

In the evening, Li Yu invited Tang Fei, Xiao Tie and Du He, Ashina Qing to accompany him, Tang Fei and Xiao Tie were too strong to drink, so they went down to rest first.

After sending Tang Fei and Xiao Tie away, Li Su said angrily: "Second brother, can you not be so impulsive in the future, and discuss it with me before doing things." You are different from Lord Tang, they are the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, and it is their duty to be loyal to the country.

You're different, you're my brother, I can't let you take such a risk. ”

Du He said movingly: "Brother Su, I have received your heart, brother." However, as you said, I am also a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and it is my duty as a courtier to be loyal to the country. Master Tang, they can do it, and I can do it. ”

Li Su was very moved in his heart - this is a culture of the times, a national spirit, and this is also the essence of Datang standing proudly at the top of the world.

Li Su no longer dissuaded, so he accompanied Du He to get drunk.

Early the next morning, Li Su personally saw off Du He, Tang Fei and Xiao Ti.

Let's talk about Xue Rengui, he was appointed as the commander of the first cavalry regiment of the Fourth Division of the Tang Cavalry. Today is his first day in office.

The first cavalry regiment has 3,000 people, and it is a cavalry unit composed of the original Longyou Provincial Frontier Army. Many of these officers and soldiers are veterans who have participated in many wars, and they are not convinced by Xue Rengui, a recruit who has been in the army for less than a year.

Before Xue Rengui arrived, the officers inquired and heard that he was an ordinary farmer, because of chance, he met His Royal Highness King Liang, and was promoted by the prince, and he was suddenly promoted to the high position of cavalry commander. Everyone was holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, and they wanted to give Xue Rengui a dismissal.

Xue Rengui had already learned the faces of those veteran ruffians in the General Staff, and he had already conquered them with his military strategy and established his prestige in the General Staff.

For the soldiers below, he has already prepared for them, and he will also give them a dismount.

Xue Rengui ordered the troops to be assembled, but the officers deliberately dragged their feet, and even several major officers asked for leave and did not come.

Xue Rengui waited on the playground for half an hour before the troops gathered in a sparse manner.

Xue Rengui began to roll call, he didn't look at the roster, the 138 officers of the regiment directly called out their names, this memory, made the officers and soldiers present greatly admired.

Xue Rengui rode to the front of the queue and said loudly: "I know that for a cavalry unit with a glorious tradition, my age and military age are a little immature. It's normal for people to be unconvinced, and it's understandable that I'm worried that I won't be able to lead everyone to victory.

One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. I'm here today to meet any of your challenges, and if you can overcome me, I'll get out of here. However, if you can't win me, you will give me honest and obedient in the future, do you agree?"

The army has always been a world of the strong, and everyone was very interested in Xue Rengui's proposal, so everyone shouted together: "Agreed!" ”

Li Zhe, the battalion deputy of the first battalion, was a recognized archery master of the cavalry regiment, and he was the first to come out to challenge. At a distance of two hundred paces, he fired three arrows in succession, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye. It won the unanimous applause of the officers and soldiers.

Li Zhe said triumphantly: "Captain, it's your turn." ”

Xue Rengui ordered the soldiers to put the arrow target at a distance of 250 paces, and quickly fired three arrows in succession, which also hit the bull's eye.

The officers and men were speechless.

At this moment, a peregrine falcon flew by quickly, Xue Rengui bent his bow and set up an arrow, and with an arrow, the peregrine falcon rolled over and fell.

It is often said that the bow is bent to shoot the eagle, which shows the level of the archer. The target of the peregrine falcon is small, and the speed is much faster than that of the eagle, and the difficulty of shooting is many times greater. This technique was an eye-opener for the officers and men.

At this moment, a cavalryman ran over with a peregrine falcon in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Right in the eye!" Right in the eye! "At this moment, the officers and soldiers are dumbfounded!

Next, a battalion commander came out to challenge Xue Rengui with weapons. Xue Rengui said: "You four battalion commanders come up together." ”

Originally, everyone was already a little convinced of him, but seeing him so arrogant at this moment, it aroused everyone's blood, so the four battalion commanders came over and surrounded Xue Rengui.

When the battalion commanders started, they felt that they were too numerous to win, so the three of them watched the battle, and one of them slashed at Xue Rengui with a knife.

The Fang Tian painting halberd in Xue Rengui's hand was the 42 pound Fang Tian painting halberd that Li Xiaogong gave him, facing the oncoming Mo knife, he was a sea fishing moon, bumping from the bottom to the top, and the Mo knife from the top down, the battalion commander only felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and couldn't hold the Mo knife in his hand. had no choice but to let go, and Mo Dao flew out far away.

Then, the tip of Fang Tian's halberd reached the edge of his neck.

The officers and men were dumbfounded, and then burst into shocking cheers.

The battalion commanders didn't dare to be careless anymore, and the battalion commander picked up the Mo knife and attacked Xue Rengui with the other three battalion commanders.

Xue Rengui rose to prominence, and in less than 10 rounds, the four battalion commanders were defeated. This is still a military camp competition, Xue Rengui must master the sense of proportion and not hurt people. If you face the enemy, these people can't hold out even 5 rounds.

The officers and men all understood this truth, and their cheers were full of sincere admiration. Since then, the officers and men of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Division have respected the new commander. Soon, the officers and men of the entire Fourth Cavalry Division knew about Xue Rengui's prestige.

At this moment, the decisive battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun in Tiexi City kicked off.
