Ma Lan was furious in his heart, and glanced at Yang Guozhong: "It is the son of Liangjing, and there are many people who are willing to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty." Others don't say it, and I'm an example. If the forbidden army is unable to defend Gyeonggi, what difference does it make between having it and not having it? ”

Yang Guozhong was about to speak, Li Longji glared at Yang Guozhong fiercely, and said with a smile: "What Ma Qing said has some truth, but I'm afraid it's groundless." Now there is An Lushan in the north to suppress the two captives in the northeast, there is the army of Geshuhan in Longyou, and the stars are scattered in Tubo, the dragons of Zhuqiang have no leader, and the Qing family is in Anxi, and Luo Feng of Nanzhao Pavilion is just a frog at the bottom of the well, I can sit in Chang'an City, why worry about the Central Plains? ”

Ma Lu sighed in his heart, and he couldn't say that An Lushan would be against it.

The Anshi Rebellion was a stone in his heart, and if this scourge was not eliminated, he would not be able to go to the river to open up with peace of mind. But until now, he has not been able to find a way to eliminate this scourge.

"Your Majesty, it's always good to be prepared for danger in times of peace. The handle of the knife must be in his own hands, which is a little foolish opinion of Wei Chen. As for whether to let the Northern Ya Forbidden Army go to the border for training, His Majesty's Sacred Heart is arbitrary. ”

Li Longji smiled and nodded, and after a little thought, he said: "This matter is too involved, we need to discuss it later, today I came to see Anxi Jian'er to perform martial arts, Ma Qing, you said that you have trained a new army in Anxi, let me see how different you are in the new army of Anxi." ”

Ma Ling bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Longwu General Chen Xuanli suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Slow! ”

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What does Chen Qing have to say?" ”

Chen Xuanli bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Long Wujun is under the command of Weichen, Ma Renjie is so underestimated by Weichen's subordinates, Weichen is really not convinced!" The Longwu Army was originally a 10,000-horse battalion, and there were many heroic and fierce men in the army, Ma Renjie's words spread out, and Weichen was only afraid that the bullet would not be able to suppress his command. I beg Your Majesty to give Weichen a chance, so that Weichen's Long Wujun and Ma Renjie's Anxi New Army are higher or lower, even if they are really inferior to the Anxi New Army, let those killers lose clearly. ”

Seeing Chen Xuanli's face of anger, Ma Xuan knew that what he had just said offended the old general.

But this is also a helpless thing, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you must say what you think in your heart. If the Northern Ya Forbidden Army can be tempered more, it will be easier to hold Gyeonggi and the foundation of the Tang Empire. If the Beiya Forbidden Army has always been a group of wine bags and rice bags, even if the An Lushan Rebellion is eliminated, in the future, if there is chaos elsewhere, Chang'an City will still be extremely dangerous.

He didn't have the slightest selfishness, and offending Chen Xuanli could only be offended. He didn't care about the competition between Long Wujun and Anxi New Army, and it was good to let Long Wujun know how weak they were.

Li Longji frowned and said, "Chen Qing's intention, I really want to see if the Anxi New Army can chisel through your Longwu Army?" Once thousands of troops and horses collide head-on, I am afraid that they will damage a lot of children, and I really can't bear it. ”

Chen Xuanli said: "There are many heroic men in the Anxi army, and there is no shortage of people under the command of Weichen, Your Majesty pities the soldiers, and the two armies do not fight wantonly, but only ask Your Majesty's quasi-Weichen's Longwu Army and Ma Renjie's Anxi New Army to send a few people each, and compare bows, arrows, knives and guns." ”

Li Longji looked at Ma Lan and smiled: "Ma Qing, what do you mean?" ”

Ma Lan bowed and said, "Weichen is at the mercy of His Majesty's arrangement." ”

"The battle of thousands of troops and horses on the battle array is not about the martial arts of one person, and this kind of competition is really meaningless. But since Chen Qing said it, I will allow you, there should not be too many people, one person is enough. After the fight, I still have to watch the Anxi athletes show their means. Li Longji waved his hand and smiled.

Ma Lan nodded, after all, the Son of Heaven was not confused to the end. Chen Xuanli's face changed slightly, and he stood up and called a personal soldier over and gave two orders.

A moment later, a young lieutenant galloped out of the Longwu army, dismounted and bowed under the high platform.

"Chen Qing, this is Li Jing, right?" Li Longji looked at the young man and smiled.

Chen Xuanli nodded: "It's Li Jing." The strongest person under Weichen is this son. ”

"Li Jing, stand up." Li Longji commanded with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jing bowed again and stood up.

Ma Lan looked at the young man.

The boy was tall and long-armed, muscular, and had a mace in his hand that looked extremely heavy. This kind of weapon used by the barbarians of the Western Regions is not used by the Tang Army, and at a glance it is a guy who is known for his strength.

"This is my family's treasure." Li Longji said with a smile, "Ma Qing, Li Jing is a descendant of Prince Zhang Huai, he became a jinshi at a young age, but he didn't want to be a civil official, but he wanted to join the Longwu army. Entering the army to challenge the warriors in the army has no opponents, and it can be said that they are all-rounders in civil and military affairs. He and Princess Jincheng belong to the same generation, and he is the best among the younger generation of the clan, and I love this son very much. Li Jing is still young, Ma Qing, let your subordinates pay attention when they make a move, don't hurt the talents of my family. ”

Ma Lan smiled and nodded: "Weichen understands." ”

Li Jing turned over on his horse, lifted the reins, and looked at Ma Ling with blazing eyes: "King of the county, now everyone in Chang'an says that you are the second Li Weigong, the military god of the new generation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing dared to ask the king of the county for advice, but I don't know if the king of the county dares to fight." ”

Ma Lan looked at this kid who was as strong as a calf, and suddenly remembered Niu Xu, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, this kid looks two years older than Niu Xu, and he can't be counted as a match according to his age, otherwise he should guess if he is his own son. It's really a strange thing, why are there so many little monsters with beautiful faces and muscular muscles in Chang'an City recently?

"County King, do you dare to fight!" Li Jing shook his huge mace, stared at Ma Lan and shouted.

Seeing that Li Jing actually challenged Ma Ling directly, the people on the high platform all looked strange, and the ladies couldn't help but whisper.

"Boy, what do you want to compare with me?" Ma Lan looked at the young man and smiled.

"I want to have a real shootout with the king of the county!" Li Jing looked eagerly and shouted loudly.

"Alright then!" Ma Ling smiled and nodded, the spur lightly touched Qinghai Cong, Qinghai Cong turned a corner, and rushed straight towards Li Jing.

"County King, this distance is too close!" Li Jing frowned.

However, the next moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing that Ma Lan had already increased the speed of the horse, Li Jing gritted his teeth and urged the horse to rush towards Ma Lan, and at the same time, the mace in his hand spun like a windmill. The iron mace weighing dozens of pounds was as light as a horizontal knife in his hand.

The distance between the two was originally only one hundred and ten steps, and Qinghai Cheng rushed to him in an instant, Li Jing shouted angrily, and the mace smashed into Ma Ling with a strong wind.

Ma Lan stared at Li Jing with a dead gaze, and almost at the same time the heavy Mo knife swung out, not dodging Li Jing's mace, and the Mo knife brought out a match-like light and slashed straight at Li Jing's chest.

It's just a moment's effort, and the two of them have become a life-and-death fight!

Li Jing was shocked in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood up. He is also a master, and he knows that if he doesn't stop, this will be the end of the same fate. He just wanted to defeat the King of Fufeng County to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect to die so easily.

Seeing that the sword light was in front of him, Li Jing shouted angrily and abandoned the mace, rolled off the horse, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

There was a muffled "poof", followed by a miserable neighing of the horses.

Ma Lan used all his strength with this knife, and the heavy Mo knife directly cut off Li Jing's saddle, and the war horse was also cut into two pieces by his knife, and the hot internal organs flowed all over the ground. Li Jing suddenly felt a heat on his face, and he couldn't help but scream in horror when he touched it.

Looking at Li Jing who was touching his face and screaming in horror, Ma Ling pursed his lips and looked down on this kid a little in an instant.

Seeing Ma Lan cut off the war horse with a knife, there was a sudden explosion on the high platform. There was a scream among the women, and almost everyone turned their heads.

Such a bloody scene, how have they ever seen it on weekdays?

The blood-dripping Mo knife pointed at Li Jing's neck, but Li Jing didn't see it, still covering his face and screaming loudly.

Chen Xuanli is also an expert, and after seeing everything clearly in the moment just now, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Ma Xuan, you are cheating!" ”

Ma Lan smiled slightly: "I won, didn't I?" The old general said that I was cheating, I wonder if the old general was here just now, can he take my knife? ”

Chen Xuanli's face froze, and he was speechless.

Unless there is a decisive heart, or the difference in strength is too great, no one can stop this knife. Even when he was young, he was afraid that he couldn't do it.

Li Jing heard the human voice, and then he knew that he was not dead, and touched everything on his body, looking at Ma Lu who was sitting on the horse, with a look of shame and indignation.

"Boy, do you throw in the towel?" Ma Lan smiled.

"King of the county, I don't accept it! Dare you fight me again! Li Jing looked at the broken mount and said angrily.

"Do you dare to fight me again? I didn't dare to fight for my life, but the result was still the same. Do you really want to try again? Ma Lan smiled.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and was silent.

On the high platform, Li Longji gently wiped away a few drops of horse blood splashed on his body, and his expression was extremely calm. He has experienced a lot of storms in his life, and a dead war horse is nothing.

Ma Lumo pointed at Li Jing and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you are a figure in the clan, I think you have a good foundation, and I will teach you a lesson today." ”

"Boy, those who are afraid of death on the battlefield often die the fastest, and those who are not afraid of death live long. If you hadn't dodged just now, you would have had every chance to kill me, or at least you would have died together. You're scared, you're dodging, so you're defeated! If you have the opportunity to go to the border to send troops and release horses in the future, I hope you will remember what I said today. ”

After speaking, Ma Lu looked at the high platform and said, "Your Majesty, why did I say that I, the eight hundred athletes, can chisel through General Chen's Dragon Martial Army, this is the reason." My eight hundred athletes have all seen blood, and at least they have killed more than a dozen barbarians for His Majesty, to put it mildly, the barbarians all killed together are twice as many as the Longwu Army present! ”

"My subordinates pick out one of them at random, and they will not hide when they fight for life and death, and it is precisely because they are not afraid of death that they can survive until now. Such athletes are hundreds, and they are also a division of tigers and wolves. ”

"In the eyes of my subordinates, the barbarians are military merits, sheep, and fat fields in the river. Only such athletes can deter His Majesty and expand his territory! ”

Seeing Ma Luan's generous words, Li Longji nodded with a smile and said, "I know." Ma Qing, I understand what you mean. You still want the Beiya Forbidden Army to go to the border for training, after all, this matter involves too much, I need to think about it. ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Jing, who looked ashamed, and said: "Today's lesson, you have to remember it well!" You are my family's hero, different from others, you can no longer spend your days in Chang'an. I want you to go to Anxi with the king of the county and have a good experience on the battlefield, are you willing? ”

Ma Lan sighed in his heart, it seems that the Son of Heaven is still unwilling to let go of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. The elimination of the Anshi Rebellion cannot rely on the Son of Heaven, and he has to think about it again.

Li Jing looked ashamed, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Anxi with the king of the county!" (To be continued.) )
