Yuan Heng seven years, the end of the year.

Li Xiang and Li Tian, who went to the Western Regions for two and a half years of internships, finally returned to Luoyang with their people.

Anyway, this experience is still useful.

As soon as they came back, Li Chengqian and Li Chong saw the capable, firm and resolute appearance of the two opposites.

After all, the Western Regions is a safe place to sleep at night.

"Father."

"Your Majesty, Aye."

As soon as the two returned to the city gates, they could not wait to jump off their horses.

Stride forward.

"They've all got a lot of tans."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he then looked at Su Dingfang, who was still behind, and said, "You didn't cause Su Qing any trouble, right?"

Su Dingfang also immediately came up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Cheng Lang didn't cause any trouble to the ministers."

Li Chengqian also stepped forward and got closer. After looking at Su Dingfang's sideburns, which had turned white, he said, "After I come back from this trip, I will recuperate well."

Su Dingfang is a person of about the same generation as his father, this person in his sixties, almost seventy years old, and he still asks his family to guard the Western Regions and eat sand and dust, which is indeed a bit excessive.

However, Su Dingfang didn't seem to appreciate it very much, "Your Majesty, the minister is not very old."

Li Chengqian said: "I know that Su Qing cares about the Tang Dynasty, but life is endless, Su Qing, you are alone, and you can't keep the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years.

"It's all because it's ...... There are not many young people who know the art of war and can lead soldiers to fight. Unlike the time of the Emperor, there were many people who could fight well."

That's true.

However, it is not because there are fewer young people who can lead troops to fight.

But......

Since the world was peaceful, most of the young people in the family have abandoned martial arts and literature.

Naturally, this has led to fewer young people who seem to be able to fight later.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the need of the times.

Or rather......

There are fewer opportunities to fight, young people are not able to get training, and there is a lack of platforms to perform, which is also a point.

Li Chengqian continued: "Teacher, he has two sons-in-law and wants to learn the art of war from you."

"This ......"

Su Dingfang is actually not very familiar with Li Chong.

After all, Li Zhong has always been on top.

For him, it's just a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Just as he was thinking about how to push this off, Li Chongye said, "Both of them are smart people, I believe there is no need to worry too much."

"You don't want your art of war to be lost, do you?"

"Although you may already have other disciples, if you teach one more, then Your Majesty will be able to have one more available person in the future."

Su Dingfang is still relatively loyal.

Listen to it.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Then he said, "Then try it."

Speaking of which......

Su Dingfang should have died at this age.

Not dead yet, Li Chong is still a little surprised.

It's just right!

Datang has fought so easily over the years, and the other party's energy has not been consumed all the time, so it is not impossible that the life span has been extended.

It's like in the history books, just after fighting the Western Turks, they were going to fight Goguryeo, and just after fighting Goguryeo, the Western Turks were reversed by the Tibetans.

Over the years, after all, Su Dingfang has been stationed in a certain place for a long time, and he doesn't have to run around, so naturally he is not as tired as in the history books.

After talking to Su Dingfang

。

Next......

Then you can set up a military academy.

After all......

This two sons-in-law who only teach themselves seem to be a little bit bad.

It is best to select another group of noble children and let them forcibly practice martial arts.

There is another benefit to doing so.

That is, at least there will be a war at that time, and he will not send his two sons-in-law out.

In fact, Li Chong himself has some selfishness more or less.

Merely......

But it is not the selfishness of his son-in-law, but the selfishness of his daughter.

If Yao Yuanchong and Zhang Renqing were really like Su Dingfang, who had been stationed in the Western Regions for a long time, would their daughter be widowed in Luoyang?

It's not that you can't go along.

It's just that if you can't go, it's better not to go.

And so it was settled.

The number of people in the military academy is not large, only twenty.

As for where these twenty people will choose.

It is mainly based on self-recommendation.

Select the heirs of officials of the fifth rank and above.

And don't say this, there are still people who come to sign up, after all, there are some people who are born with this piece of material, plus, this is also an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Since His Majesty is going to set up this military academy.

The generals from then on must have come out of here.

So......

Yao Yuanchong and Zhang Renyan don't seem to have that much advantage.

Yao Yuanchong's hunting should be okay, you said to fight, Li Chong felt that he was not very good.

Zhang Rengan felt that he would fight.

It must be ancestral.

In fact, these two people are not ordinary people, even if they are Zhang Rengan, the ancestor must have been wide.

It's just that in their generation, it has become a poor family.

Su Dingfa didn't expect that the two people who said good would become twenty all of a sudden.

However, now it can only be hard-headed.

Afterwards......

It is to teach them some basic principles of the army, the essentials of marching, and so on.

There are also special attention to Yao Yuanchong and Zhang Renqing.

Yao Yuanchong doesn't seem to be very interested in fighting, and it can't be said that he is not interested, but he is not so interested.

Zhang Rengan listened very carefully.

And......

I can ask him a lot of questions from time to time.

Su Dingfang simply contacted him for less than a month, and he knew the achievements of these two people in the future.

Yao Yuanchong will definitely not become a famous general, because his mind is not all here.

Zhang Rengan, maybe there is still a glimmer of possibility.

As for the others......

Those are proper generals.

It is the material for leading troops to fight.

It can only be said that in the first batch of admission lists, there are many military generals from families.

Even......

There are also those who feel that he has fought for so many years, and say that he fought the war wrongly.

You say that these young people are not angry.

I've fought a battle for so many years and haven't tasted defeat, don't I know it?

It is really not an easy task to suppress these second and third generations.

Because there is a good chance that they will be raised, I Aya once said, my grandfather used to say.

On the contrary, although Su Dingfang has won a lot of battles in the past 20 years, the key is that no one blows him up.

Are you good at war? You're good at war, a piece of? When you come out to mix, you have to talk about power!

Su Dingfang is very short of this.

With Li Tian coming back, Li Chong's family naturally had to get together.

It's winter.

Just one person has a small stove, and then hit the hot pot.
