"Your Highness knows the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty?" Aunt Tiger did not directly introduce the Tiger Head Army, but asked a rhetorical question first.

"Of course I know that." Li Su nodded, the so-called Xuanjia Army is actually a super cavalry directly under the control of Li Shimin, with Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde and other fierce generals as generals, and has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, the most famous of which is that Li Shimin personally led 3,500 Xuanjia Army and broke Dou Jiande's main army of more than 100,000. This battle not only greatly injured Dou Jiande's vitality, but also lost Wang Shichong's courage, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to surrender to the Tang army, which made the power of the Tang Dynasty expand several times at once, and laid the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to annex the world in one fell swoop.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanjia Army was split, and a part of it became the palace guard force, called 'One Hundred and Sixty-Nine Chapter Li Shimin's Two Licensed Cavalry', and the other part remained in the army, and later in Li Jing's battle to destroy the Turks, it was used as an ace army, which can be said to be invincible, among which Su Dingfang led two hundred horses to step on the tooth tent of Jieli Khan, and these two hundred horses were the Xuanjia Army.

Seeing Li Su's natural appearance, Aunt Hu suddenly sighed, and said with some dejection: "Becoming the king and defeating the emperor, now the world only knows the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, but they have forgotten the several elites that were as famous as the Xuanjia Army back then, and it is estimated that except for some older people, no one remembers the Tiger Head Army of Liang State anymore." ”

Hearing Aunt Tiger's words, Li Su's spirit was immediately shocked, the meaning of her words was very clear, the Tiger Head Army turned out to be the elite of the same grade as the Xuanjia Army, if this was really the case, then he had picked up a treasure today.

"What happened to the Tiger Heads now?" Li Su asked a little eagerly. Although the three commanders of the Tiger Head Army are here, if there are no soldiers. That's useless either.

"Your Highness, there are not many of us in the Tiger Head Army. At most, there were only 1,500 people, and later the Liang Kingdom collapsed, in order to protect the imperial concubine and princess, some were damaged, and in the past ten years, some people are old or injured. One after another, some of the two permissions of Li Shimin in Chapter 69 were withdrawn, and now there were less than eight hundred people left, almost half less. At this time, Hu Li also sighed and said.

When they went to sea, the tiger head army was handed over to him to take charge. It's just that after so many years, the Tiger Head Army, which dominated the world back then, has been reduced to pirates, coupled with the lack of fresh blood input, a few old brothers quit every year, and he doesn't want to lower the entry standards of the Tiger Head Army, so the Tiger Head Army is already in decline, and it is estimated that in a few years, the Tiger Head Army may be completely history.

"Less than 800 people, which is indeed a few!" Li Su muttered to himself thoughtfully. "But it doesn't matter, as long as you are here, I believe that with the financial, material and human resources of my palace, it will only be a matter of time before the Tiger Head Army is reorganized."

Hearing that Li Su planned to reorganize the Tiger Head Army, Aunt Tiger and Hu Li immediately rubbed their hands excitedly, don't look at Aunt Tiger is a woman, but the Tiger Head Army was created by her at the beginning, and her feelings for the Tiger Head Army are the deepest, and Hu Li is also involved from beginning to end. Therefore, the sister and brother did not want the Tiger Head Army to be drowned in the pile of old papers of history.

After understanding the talents of Lu Qing and the others, Li Su finally decided to transfer Hu Li and Zhou Long to the palace guards as pawns, and also to be Aunt Hu's subordinates, last time Su Dingfang took away three hundred people, and just two pawn soldiers also went together, and now there is a vacancy in the palace, as for the more than 700 tiger head troops, they are all filled into the palace guards.

As for Lu Qing's arrangement, it was a little troublesome, because there was no navy in the palace, and in the end, Li Su thought about it for a long time, or under the reminder of Aunt Hu, the 20,000 sailors brought by Lu Qing were temporarily reorganized into a slave hunting team directly under the palace, as for Lu Qing himself, he hung up the post of Qi Wangyou with a high enough grade.

Lu Qing and the others were also very satisfied with their respective arrangements, and judging from Li Su's arrangements, he also trusted his own people very much, otherwise he would not have transferred more than 700 tiger-headed troops to the guards.

At the same time, Li Su also told them that he would go to the Goguryeo front in a few days, and he could take them with him then. This incident immediately aroused the interest of Hu Li and Zhou Long, these two people belong to the kind of war maniacs, they are all excited when they hear about the war, although they are pirates in the south from time to time, but they are not at all a grade compared to the real battlefield, and the bloodthirsty ** on the body has been holding back for more than ten years, so now when I hear that I am going to the battlefield, I can't wait to leave immediately.

After arranging Lu Qing and these people, Li Su made some preparations for leaving for Goguryeo that day, and just wanted to go back to the inner house and Wen Xin to talk about Lu Hong and them, but Lu Hong found Li Su, as if there was something important?

At that moment, Li Su took him into his study, asked the people around him to retreat, and then before he could sit down, he suddenly saw Lu Hong step forward and ask, "Your Highness, you did something wrong today." ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment after hearing this, glanced at Lu Hong a little strangely, and asked, "Oh? What am I doing wrong? ”

"Your Highness, after the first battle of Dengzhou, the second brother's merits have been reported by His Highness, but if His Majesty knows that the second brother has become His Highness's private slave hunting team, will he have any other ideas? After all, there are more than 20,000 people, and the combat power is comparable to that of the regular army, will a prince have such a force in his hands, will it arouse His Majesty's suspicion? Lu Hong said sincerely, although he had just joined, he really wanted to do something by Li Su's side, so when he saw that Li Su had mistakes and omissions, he naturally had to open his mouth to remind him.

"Well, yes, what else is wrong with the king?" After hearing this, Li Su smiled slightly and asked again.

Seeing Li Su's performance, Lu Hong was also stunned, in fact, with his understanding of Li Su, such an obvious mistake, Li Su should be able to think of it. And listening to the tone of his words, it seems that he already knows that he has made more than one mistake.

"This ......"

Lu Hong couldn't figure out what Li Su meant for a while, and the second mistake was even more obvious, as long as Li Su was not a fool, he should have noticed it, so he was a little hesitant, and he didn't know whether to say it or not?

"Hehe, Mr. Lu is trying to say that my second mistake is to put nearly 700 tiger-headed troops in the palace guards, plus the original 700 guards, there are nearly 1,500 people, and according to the Tang law, no more than 1,000 guards are allowed in the prince's palace, right?" Li Su smiled and told Lu Hong the second mistake.

"Your Highness is wise!" Lu Hong bowed and replied. It's just that at the same time, it's even more strange in my heart, since His Highness already knows where he is wrong, why do he still do it? Is there something hidden in this that I don't know?

Seeing Lu Hong's puzzled expression, Li Su was very proud, and it was a great sense of accomplishment to make a think-tank talent unable to figure out his intentions. However, it is normal for Lu Hong to not figure it out, because this is related to a secret of Li Su, which even Yanbei does not know except for himself.

Li Su walked back and forth in the study twice, and decided to reveal some to the newly attached Lu Hong first, first, to show his trust, and to use this incident to shock him, so that he knew that with him, the future would be even greater.

Thinking of this, Li Su stopped, turned his head and said to Lu Hong with a smile: "Lu Hong, the reason why I did that today is actually because when I came to Dengzhou, my father gave me two permissions!" ”

Hearing that it was about Li Shimin, Lu Hong was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What permission?" ”

Li Su smiled and stretched out a finger and said, "First: Because Dengzhou is close to Goguryeo, in order to ensure my safety, I can increase the number of palace guards to two thousand!" ”

When Lu Hong heard this permission, he was immediately shocked in his heart, he only knew that Li Shimin favored His Royal Highness King Qi, but he didn't expect to be pampered to such an extent, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, after killing his brother and killing his brother to seize the throne, in order to prevent his sons from following his old path, he strictly ordered that the number of guards in each palace should not exceed 1,000, but he didn't expect Li Su to break this example, is he so confident that his son will not rebel?

Li Su turned a blind eye to Lu Hong's shocked expression, and still stretched out his second finger with a smile and said: "Second: I am allowed to recruit private troops, but the number must not exceed the total number of Dengzhou garrisons, if it is exceeded, but it must not be stationed in the territory of Datang!" ”

"What~" Hearing the first permission, Lu Hong almost screamed in shock, his face turned red, his eyes were even more round, and he had an expression of disbelief.

In fact, it is no wonder that Lu Hong is so surprised, recruiting private troops has always been a royal taboo, if someone dares to do this, they will definitely be charged as a rebellion, no matter how noble this person's identity is. As for the emperor's permission for the prince to recruit private soldiers, it could only happen when there was a shortage of soldiers, but now in the life of the Tang Dynasty, except for Goguryeo, there was no war at all, how could Li Shimin allow his son to recruit private soldiers during this period? Thinking of this, Lu Hong couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face.

"What, don't believe me?" Li Su asked with a smile, and then without waiting for Lu Hong to answer, he turned around and took out a box from the bookshelf, opened it and took out a holy decree, then handed it to him, and motioned Lu Hong to open it and take a look.

And when Lu Hong opened it, he found that it was indeed Li Shimin's permission to increase Li Su's guards and recruit private soldiers, and at the same time, it was also covered with the jade seal of the country, and he couldn't fake it for half a point. But after seeing this holy decree, Lu Hong was even more puzzled. I wondered if Li Shimin was old and confused, how could he give such a big right to a son, could he really be so relieved of Li Su?
