Su Dingfang was going back to Chang'an, and when the news reached Li Hong's ears, he was excited. Because Su Dingfang is now the only peerless general who can compete with Li Ji, if it is not worse than Su Dingfang, there is Liu Rengui, but Liu Rengui is still on the battlefield in Liaodong, and his ability has just been highlighted, so he is naturally inferior to Su Dingfang, who has already become famous.

Just in Li Hong's expectation, at noon six days later, Yan Zhuang hurriedly walked into the study and said to Li Hong, "Your Highness, General Su is about to arrive outside Chang'an City in the afternoon, should we prepare?" ”

Li Hong was going to meet Su Dingfang, so that Yan Zhuang would keep an eye on Su Dingfang's itinerary.

"Prepare now, and we'll be out of the city later." Li Hong said categorically. This is not nonsense, what kind of person is Su Dingfang, not to mention his crown prince, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he should go out of the city to greet him. Who told Li Ji to drag him like this now, and he didn't bird him, the only general he could rely on now was Su Dingfang. Moreover, Su Dingfang has a lot of students, all of whom are guarding in the Western Regions, which is definitely a soft power that Li Ji can't match.

To put it mildly, Empress Wu relied on Li Ji, and could only rely on it until Li Ji died. He Li Hong relied on Su Dingfang, and he could rely on Su Dingfang's students after Su Dingfang's death. So in general, Li Hong's vision is more long-term than that of the martial arts, but it is not wrong from the perspective of the martial arts, because what she wants is short-term benefits, as long as the short-term benefits are achieved, her goal will be achieved, and even if there is no military support, what can she do at that time?

"How many men are we taking out of town?" Yan Zhuang asked cautiously.

"How many people did Su Xiang bring?" Li Hong asked, Su Dingfang is now the crown prince Shaobao, the third product under the Tongzhong Shumen, and the governor of the Northern Ya, so Li Hong will call him Su Xiang, and the military general can be named the marquis and worship the general, which is the greatest glory of the military general, and now that Su Dingfang has everything, Li Hong will naturally call him so humble.

"About a thousand." Yan Zhuang replied.

"Let's take two cavalry!" Li Hong groaned, "You ask Chen Gong and Zhao Zhongyong to prepare, and we will go out of the city later." ”

Yan Zhuang was stunned for a moment, how could there be Zhao Zhongyong and six hundred Tubo spirit riders? However, he didn't ask again, but whispered, "No! ”

Yan Zhuang left, and Li Hong stayed in the study for a while, and then left in a hurry.

This time, he left the East Palace, did not go to the palace to meet with everyone, but asked the guards and Zhao Zhongyong to wait outside the city, and he came to the green onion noodle restaurant in Yanshoufang under the escort of Chen Gong.

Zhou Juan is cooking in the noodle restaurant, and business is booming.

Seeing Li Hong, Zhou Juan smiled heartily, she smiled very happily, smiled very sweetly, and smiled very happily. Because it was her man who came to see her, the man she loved, the man she really wanted to live with him, and he was a good man who loved women.

"Have you eaten?" Zhou Juan asked naturally, there was no shyness at all, I don't know when she started the relationship with Li Hong very calmly, although she knew that Li Hong's identity was not simple, although she felt that Li Hong was a person who did great things, and with her current identity, she was a little unworthy of Li Hong, but Zhou Juan felt that her love was worthy of Li Hong, which was enough, what could be greater than love?

"Eat!" Li Hong said kindly, "I just want to come and see you, and by the way, I will give you the money and let you save it." ”

After Li Hong finished speaking, he handed over a few strings of copper coins to Zhou Juan.

These strings of copper coins are nothing to anyone from a wealthy family, but Zhou Juan is very down-to-earth and warm in her hand. Because this is given to her by Li Hong, the money to buy a house when they get married in the future.

This is the money that is used to secure their future life and marriage.

Now the income of her scallion noodle restaurant is very good, and this amount of money is not as much as she earns in a day, but in Zhou Juan's heart, the money Li Hong gave her is the most precious, because it is full of slow love.

"Business is good today, huh?" Li Hong looked around at the green onion noodle restaurant and asked.

"Business has been good during this time." Zhou Juan said happily, this is thanks to Li Hong's pickles and crispy eggs, otherwise how could there be so many guests!

"Remember, don't exhaust yourself, we can earn money slowly and save slowly, but the body can't be tired." Li Hong said softly.

"Yes, people know!" Zhou Juan's cheeks were slightly red and agreed.

Li Hong didn't stay long, just said a few words of concern to Zhou Juan, and left Yanshoufang in a hurry. Out of Yanshoufang, riding a fast horse that had been prepared for a long time, he galloped out of Chang'an City. Outside Chang'an City, the two cavalry stood in the open space on the side, murderous and high-spirited. This is Chen Gong's 800 guards and Zhao Zhongyong's 600 Tubo elite cavalry.

Chen Gong's 800 guards were first of all a fine cavalry, followed by guards with super foot combat ability.

Zhao Zhongyong's 600 Tubo is also the elite of the Tubo elite. The two cavalry stood together, and they began to face each other, and they all released their murderous aura, and neither of them obeyed the other.

When Li Hong came out of Chang'an City, he saw that the two cavalry were fighting each other, and he was a little funny and angry.

However, seeing that the Tubo Elite Cavalry exuded such a monstrous battle intent, he was very surprised, surprised by Zhao Zhongyong's ability to command troops. It can make the six hundred elite cavalry without a commander burst out with strong enough combat effectiveness again, which is definitely the embodiment of Zhao Zhongyong's ability.

"See Your Highness!" Eight hundred guards shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.

"See Your Highness!" Six hundred Tibetan elite horsemen shouted in unison, and the momentum was also earth-shattering.

Li Hong was very satisfied with the fighting will of these two cavalry, especially the Tubo elite cavalry, who could shout such majestic words in Chinese, and he was once again very satisfied with Zhao Zhongyong's ability to command troops.

"See Your Highness!" Zhao Zhongyong rode forward, walked in front of Li Hong, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Li Hong.

"You're doing a good job, I'm very happy!" Li Hong said with satisfaction, "Get up, let's go to meet Su Xiang." ”

"The Su Xiang that His Highness said in his mouth is General Su Dingfang?" Zhao Zhongyong asked. Li Hong smiled and said, "Yes, it's General Su." ”

Plop! Zhao Zhongyong, who was about to turn over and get on the horse, was frightened and sat on the ground.

Because it was Su Dingfang who captured him in the confrontation with Tubo, and it was also Su Dingfang who defeated them in that battle and slaughtered their 8,000 elite horsemen.

Therefore, Zhao Zhongyong was both afraid and very afraid of Su Dingfang.

Because in his memory, Su Dingfang is definitely a general with excellent resourcefulness and ruthlessness, and he has won all battles.

Li Hong turned a blind eye to Zhao Zhongyong's timid performance just now.

Because he is very aware of Su Dingfang's prestige and influence in the Western Regions, and Su Dingfang's deterrent power in Tibet. It can be said that as long as Su Dingfang lives for one day, the countries of the Western Regions will not dare to have any intentions, and Tubo will have to be jealous of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be unscrupulous
