When Li Guanqi and his entourage walked to less than 100 meters away from the Chinese army's tent, they saw a tall man with broad shoulders and a middle-aged general wearing a faded military uniform striding out. There are big bright eyes embedded in his bronzed face, and he looks like he is in his thirties, but if you look closely, there are already several wrinkles on the corners of her forehead.

I saw this tall and thin middle-aged general walking about ten steps away in front of Li Guanqi, stopped abruptly, and did not bow down, but just clasped his hands into fists and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are dressed up, please let the ministers meet with a military salute!" ”

He Ziming couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and shouted violently: "Feng Yuhua, don't be too presumptuous!" ”

Li Guanqi stopped He Ziming, smiled at Feng Yuhua, and said, "Yes." Take a walk around with me. ”

Feng Yuhua raised his head and said, "Please ask the emperor to review." ”

Li Guanqi chatted with Feng Yuhua as he walked, "How many people are there in the camp now, and how are the weapons and equipment?" ”

Feng Yuhua replied: "There are 5,628 officers and soldiers registered in the battalion, 5,000 war horses, and 500 mules. ”

When Li Guanqi heard that there were so many horses, almost every soldier had a horse, he couldn't help but be very happy, and said with a smile: "In this case, how about General Feng give me a show?" ”

Feng Yuhua secretly laughed in his heart that the emperor had no common sense, but he still said politely: "It's unfortunate that the emperor is here today, it's raining on this day, the horses are easy to slip, and the performance that is too fast is not very convenient, but the minister can arrange a cavalry formation drill." ”

As soon as Li Guanqi heard that it was inconvenient to perform in the rain, he felt a little lost in his heart, and said in his heart, could it be that this Xiao cavalry guard is also a silver wax gun head that is not used? However, judging from the military discipline of this army, this army should also be the best among the troops of the Great Qianchao. Since they have come and gone, they can't look at the actual things, and it's better to look at the performance of the cavalry than nothing. He nodded and said, "Look at the arrangement." ”

With Feng Yuhua's order, a thousand black-clothed and black-armored cavalry gathered on the school field and began the formation drill. In fact, in this place, there is no room for cavalry to play, not to mention that it is still raining today, so what Feng Yuhua can show Li Guanqi is just to let the cavalry walk away in the phalanx, change the formation and other common parades in military parades.

Although Li Guanqi felt that it was not as good as he expected, he saw that the coordination between the riders and the horses was very good, and he couldn't help nodding slightly, after all, the cavalry of the Han nation has always been bad.

Li Guanqi stayed in Feng Yuhua's army all morning, and did not leave until it was time for lunch. On the way back to the palace, Li Guanqi asked He Ziming: "What do you think of Feng Yuhua?" ”

"This person is unruly and has no father, and the minister thinks that the emperor should punish him for the crime of great disrespect." He Ziming is still angry about Feng Yuhua's arrogance.

Li Guanqi laughed and said, "I don't blame him for this. I fancy that he can lead the troops, and today you also saw that the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Guard can be called the army of tigers and wolves. ”

He Ziming said hurriedly: "Although Feng Yuhua has the talent to govern the army, he is so arrogant, it is not for the ministers." He Ziming actually has no prejudice against Feng Yuhua, but he is too loyal to Li Guanqi, so he can't let go of Feng Yuhua's various behaviors today.

Li Guanqi looked back at the direction of Xuanwu Lake and said, "If you think that Feng Yuhua is really so arrogant, then you still think highly of him." ”

He Ziming asked suspiciously: "The minister doesn't understand what the emperor means, and I hope the emperor will make it clear!" ”

Li Guanqi sneered: "According to my observation, Feng Yuhua's reckless performance today was deliberate. ”

"Deliberately? The minister didn't understand it even more. ”

"You're a straight kid, and of course you don't understand the dirty methods of officialdom." Li Guanqi whipped the mount under his crotch fiercely, and then said, "What we saw today, except for those outside the camp, the others were deliberately let us see by Feng Yuhua. After he knew that I was coming, he actually sat firmly in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for me to walk over to meet him, as you said, this was not the work of the courtiers, and he was obviously not wearing battle armor when he saw me, but he deliberately met me with a military salute, and so on, he was all pretending. ”

He Ziming frowned and said, "Why did Feng Yuhua do this?" Does he want to rebel? ”

"Rebellion? He didn't dare to borrow three more dares. Li Guanqi sneered, and then said, "He is a smart man, and he knows that he can't overturn the sky with the little soldiers in his hands, but he knows very well that his power also plays a vital role in this court game." He was taking the opportunity to show off his strength to me, to put pressure on me, hoping that I would give him more benefits. ”

He Ziming was silent, he really couldn't imagine that Feng Yuhua still had this kind of thought, and he couldn't imagine that the young master in front of him could see things so thoroughly. At such a young age, where did this kind of imperial mind come from? Could it really be the reincarnation of a real dragon?

was thinking wildly, but he heard Li Guanqi laugh again: "It's okay." Feng Yuhua's pretentious posture today made me feel relieved about him, indicating that he still bet on me, but he had a bigger appetite. ”

He Ziming continued: "How does the emperor plan to reward him?" ”

"Reward?" The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He wants to be rewarded, but I won't give him anything, so let him be loyal to me obediently." If you are truly loyal to me, I will naturally treat him with sincerity, but if you play this kind of political trick with me, I will also have extraordinary means to deal with it. Forget it, let him dry first. By the way, is there any news from Lin Bai's side? Negotiations with the Turks are the most important thing at the moment. ”

While Li Guanqi was worried about the Turks, the Sharo Khan of the Western Turks was not in a good mood these days, because the time was about to enter winter, and the first snow had already fallen on the steppe. If the war could not be ended before the second snowfall, then he would have to admit defeat and return to the steppes with his troops, and the nomads in winter could not fight.

While he was angry at why he had not seen the envoy of the Great Qian Dynasty who had come to negotiate peace until now, he also regretted sending troops in the autumn, as he had always chosen to send troops in the spring before.

In the final analysis, it was impossible for the Western Turks to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty with their national strength, and even a war of more than three months could not be fought. The war has been going on for two months, and the Western Turks are running out of tea, and according to the reactions of the people below, even the officials at the level of Dagan (the name of the high-ranking Turkic military attaché) are no longer available. In the eyes of the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, the leaves of this plant are just a drink, but for the nomads on the grassland, they are a necessity for survival and a fountain of life.

A large part of the reason why Sharo Khan knew that he was not capable of destroying the Great Qian Dynasty but still started a war was that the Great Qian Dynasty sent too little tea to the Western Turks. Since normal trade was insufficient, he could only plunder through war, and the army of the Great Qian Dynasty had always been vulnerable, and it was easy to achieve the strategic goal of promoting peace by fighting. In this way, we can win a local war and strive for practical interests at the negotiating table.

The door of the golden tent was opened, and a herald ran in, got down on one knee, and said hurriedly: "Meet the Khan!" The envoy of the Qianchao is here! ”
