The east wind blows, the war drums are beating, the battle flags are lined up in the wind, in the colonel field of the Yangwei military camp, the elite men of the Tang Dynasty in fresh clothes and angry armor stand as straight as green pines, their strong and dark muscles shine strangely in the sun, their expressions are solemn, and their faces show a resolute expression, they don't do anything, just where they stand, the killing aura is overwhelming, and the cold light flashing from the tip of the spear on the long lance seems to tear the enemy apart.

This is the elite division built by Datang with huge sums of money: Yangwei Army.

Time flies, time flies, the competition that was postponed for a month finally kicked off, Liu Yuan led the Yangwei Army and the Yang Wei Army under the command of Cheng Lao Demon King to face off, a competition, in addition to both of them want to show themselves in front of Li Er, there is also a collision and competition between the new training method and the traditional training method, in addition, there is also a bet involved in private, so Liu Yuan and Cheng Lao Demon King attach great importance to this matter.

Liu Yuan, who was standing in front of the queue, turned his head to look at the elite people he had trained behind him, and his face was proud: in the past month, his main task was military training, and the others rarely participated, Jin Qiaoqiao was busy opening the semicolon of the Jinyu family, Liu Yuan did not participate, and Liu Yuan could not be found on the construction site of Changluo Expressway, that is, Datang and Tubo Heqin, Liu Yuan, as a Tubo concubine, did not participate in its preparations, but let the relevant officials deal with it, and most of Liu Yuan's energy was invested in military training.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't do nothing, Jin Qiaoqiao gives some advice from time to time, and in terms of Changluo Expressway, the bridge designed by Liu Yuan collapsed when building the bridge because of the poor quality of the iron, Liu Yuan also had an idea, remembering the blast furnace iron practice method in later generations, and instructed Tang Jin, who was proficient in smelting in his "research institute". He was instructed to improve the method of iron-making so that he could produce better quality iron for the needs of the Changluo Road.

As soon as this road is repaired, the silver will be like a pig's cage into the water, and the money will be full, and it will be like digging a mountain of gold.

"The emperor has arrived!"

A shrill voice sounded, pulling Liu Yuan back to reality from his longing, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Er striding towards Dianjiangtai under the support of the imperial guards. The vigorous and powerful pace, like the steaming towards the Tang Dynasty, the increasingly powerful Datang, who is in the prime of life and full of energy, and the Datang, whose national strength is constantly increasing, are like a pair of extremely tacit partners, step by step towards glory.

"See the Emperor." Liu Yuan and Old Demon King Cheng knelt down on one knee. While giving Li Er a military salute, he shouted loudly.

"See the Emperor."

Liu Yuan and Old Demon King Cheng made their heads. The Yang Weijun on the school field also saluted together. Thousands of people shouted out loudly together, and thousands of people shouted loudly, so loud that they soared into the sky.

Thousands of people spoke out with all their might, like a wave of voice, and ordinary people were caught off guard. will be so frightened that his face is bloodless and he can't help himself, but Li Er, who was born in the army, not only does not change his face, but it looks like it. It's also willing.

For Li Er, who has led hundreds of thousands of people to fight, this is too pediatric, but these loud military voices reminded Li Er of his career and eventful years, and his serious face also had a little more warmth.

Well, yes, the queue is neat, the team is solemn, a strong physique, outsiders look hot and stuffy, insiders look at the doorway, just feel the momentum, you know that it is the division of tigers and wolves, Li Er also nodded secretly on the platform: It seems that this new army is well trained, but when he looked at the soldiers behind Liu Yuan and Cheng Lao Demon King, Li Er was secretly taken aback.

Although Liu Yuan used the new method to train soldiers, and also pushed out the soldiers who he thought did not meet the requirements, Li Er did not expect that Liu Yuan would eliminate so much, Li Er, who was born in the army, could see at a glance that the soldiers behind Liu Yuan were only half of the Demon King of the Mixed World at most, and it was very likely that half of them were not, in terms of experience, Cheng Lao Demon King was the founder of the country, with excellent military achievements and extremely rich combat experience, Liu Yuan only tossed in Tubo for a few months, and the two were too far apart in terms of experience and experience. The odds of victory with the same force are not great, let alone the fact that there are more than half of the current numbers.

What does this Liu Yuan think?

"Excuse me!" Thinking about it, Li Er still quickly flattened the soldiers.

"Your Majesty."

After the salute, Li Er looked at Liu Yuan and Old Demon King Cheng, and asked with a serious face: "General Cheng, General Liu"

"The Last Will Be"

"The last general," the two hurriedly responded.

Li Er said with a serious face: "A few months ago, you made a war letter to each other, and you had a fair competition, and now the competition deadline has arrived, are you all ready?" ”

Old Demon King Cheng preemptively said: "Go back to Your Majesty, and everything will be ready." ”

"The last general is also ready, just wait for the emperor to come and testify." Liu Yuan was not to be outdone.

Li Er glanced at Liu Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "General Liu, are you really ready?" ”

"Yes, the last general has been prepared, and he can compare it at any time." Liu Yuanlang replied.

"Really?" Liu Yuan pointed to the general behind Liu Yuan and asked: "As far as I know, two-thirds of the Yangwei army, you and General Cheng each lead one unit, each with 3,000 people, now General Cheng's army is neat, and your army is very short of people, what is the explanation?" This is an appropriation from the imperial court, do you dare to embezzle empty salaries? ”

Liu Yuan knew that Li Er would ask this question, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart, so he didn't hurry up and responded: "Please ask the emperor to be clear, there is no such thing, the end will be to use the new style of military training, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, those who do not meet the requirements, they will be returned to the original department, the personnel have decreased but not increased, and it is not surprising that the number of people is small, as for the private embezzlement of empty salaries, it is impossible to talk about it, the new training, the requirements for food are very high, the food is several times better than that of ordinary soldiers, so that they cannot make ends meet, and the last general has also posted thousands of taels, if you don't believe it, Please ask the emperor to check clearly, and if the excess part is returned to the last general, then I will be grateful. ”

The body is not afraid of shadow oblique, Liu Yuan can say that the gentleman is frank, it is best to Li Ercha, and then return the short thousand taels of silver to himself, although he is now worth millions, but thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount.

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you slowly then." Li Er snorted coldly, scolded Liu Yuan, and stopped mentioning the matter.

Attaching so much importance to Yang Weijun, Li Er has always been secretly paying attention, and there are secret guards monitoring it all day long, so he naturally knows about these things, but he just scolded Liu Yuan, and he no longer chased after him.

As for the gap, Li Er naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it, and now that the treasury is short of silver, Li Er is looking for "fat sheep" everywhere.

"I ask you, are you going to use this mere more than 1,000 people to deal with General Cheng's 3,000 people?" Li Er asked loudly.

"Yes, excluding the elimination and injuries, there are actually only 1,372 people." Liu Yuan asked honestly.

The old demon king Cheng on the side was so angry that his beard was really curled, and he said loudly when he heard the words: "Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, and now it is blowing loudly, and it will really fight for a while, hum, don't call me a mother." ”

The young man is so arrogant that he doesn't put himself in his eyes at all, pointing at this little person, as if he has eaten himself.

Liu Yuan said confidently: "General Cheng doesn't need to keep his hand for a while, because Liu won't keep his hand either." ”

"What a big breath, I'll arrest you in a while, the old man took off your pants and taught you a good lesson, lest you be lawless and ignore anyone." Old Demon King Cheng roared with a dissatisfied face.

It's really arrogant, I haven't said anything ruthless, Liu Yuan, this kid has been the first to put himself in the army, a famous veteran, and was provoked by a fledgling like this, Cheng Lao Demon King's eyes are about to turn red, if this matter is spread out, can he still hold his head up in front of those old brothers?

Seeing the two of them so high-spirited, Li Er, who was on the stage, was also very happy, and nodded when he heard the words and said: "Yes, the two generals are high-spirited, which is higher and which is lower, you will know as soon as you compete, but I first declare that everyone present is my people, this time it is just a competition, and it is the same as the previous competition, you can't kill it, the head of the gun should be wrapped in cloth, the arrow is removed, and the token representing the identity of the body is not lost, once it is lost or robbed, it will be eliminated from the game, and then there will be my personal guard as a referee to call the team to go out, which does not follow the rules, Severe punishment will not be granted. ”

"The last general will obey orders." Liu Yuan and Old Demon King Cheng said in unison.

"Alright, two generals, please step forward"

The two approached, Li Er took out a map and said: "The name of this contest is called [Capture the Flag], and the winner is the winner who captures the opponent's handsome flag, and the location of the contest is selected within a radius of 20 miles from Niulan Mountain. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Yuan and Old Demon King Cheng responded in unison.

Thousands of people fought a decisive battle, and Li Er had to monitor the whole process, a radius of twenty miles was enough, and the terrain of Niulan Mountain was also more complicated, with peaks, flat land, cliffs, dense forests, etc., which was enough for them to perform.

Li Er nodded and said: "Okay, now you choose the camp, the two camps are far apart, set up camp today, when the sun rises tomorrow, the battle will officially begin, the sun has not risen, no one can attack the other party, which of you chooses first?" ”

"The juniors are young, please choose General Cheng first." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Cheng Lao Demon King is not good at taking advantage of newcomers in front of Li Er, and said generously: "Cheng is a veteran, you can't bully the small with the big, so you should come first." ”

"No, no, no, General Cheng is selected first, although the army is known for its military exploits, but it also talks about respecting the inferiority, or General Cheng will invite it first."

"Okay, then Cheng will choose this time." Old Demon King Cheng's eyes flashed, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at the map with his hand.

Liu Yuan didn't pick it, just pointed to the other corner of the map: "Then, the last general will set up the camp here." (To be continued......)
