In the Yanzhou camp, the generals were clamoring to join the battle.

Hou Junji's face was ugly, and Jieli wanted to challenge my training recruits by name, what are you doing? Do you have me as the cavalry commander in your eyes? What are you arguing about? Each person brings 3,000 cavalry to make the strongest cavalry team? With you as my subordinates, I, Hou Junji, can command and move.

Lao Li Jing slapped the table, "Enough!" You are the commanders of each army with one army, and all of you have poured into the cavalry, and you don't want your own troops? What should I do if Jieli sent people to raid the rear? This is war, not child's play! ”

Everyone was shocked by the old handsome and didn't dare to speak again.

Ben Shuai admits that if you take it out individually, you are indeed a fierce general with 10,000 enemies. But the battle array is not a child fight, and the courage of the flesh and blood is useless in the battle of the army. You each have a personal cavalry with you, and you can piece together a cavalry team of 20,000 people, but what is the use? The orders are different, all of them take care of themselves and compete for the first, a plate of scattered sand, and they are not slaughtered on the battlefield? ”

"There is no need to discuss this battle, the commander decided that General Hou Junji, with 20,000 cavalry from his headquarters, will have a head-on gamble with Jieli. If there is any problem, Ben Shuai is responsible. ”

Wei Chi Jingde shouted: "No, big marshal, Hou Junji's cavalry has only been trained for a year, and it is still far from the elite......"

Hou Junji couldn't hold back any longer, "Really? Why don't you and I put on a posture and compare with each other first? Who's the elite at the end? ”

"It's better than that, when I first chose you to be a cavalry general, Lao Tzu didn't accept it!" Wei Chi Jingde roared.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, everyone hurriedly stopped.

Li Jing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "Come on, pull these two down for me, and give them twenty lashes each!" ”

Soon the guards from outside came in and lifted the two men up and walked out.

Hou Junji shouted: "Great commander, the last general requests that these twenty lashes be written down for the time being, and he will receive the punishment when he comes back after defeating the Turks tomorrow." ”

Li Jing groaned: "Yes." Since you're going to be commanding the battle tomorrow, write it down for now. Come back and fight again. ”

Wei Chi Jingde was unconvinced and said: "Hou Junji, if you can win and come back tomorrow, your twenty whips will be taken for you." ”

After shouting, he was dragged out to enforce military law.

Li Jing walked up to Hou Junji and encouraged: "Originally, the war between countries should not be used in this way of gambling, but it can involve the rescue of the prince, if you can win a game, it is of course a good thing to rescue the prince in advance." So I'm going to wronged you. ”

Hou Junji patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Luoyang has been training for a year, just for today." ”

In Dingxiang City on the other side, the Turkic generals are also admonishing Jieli, we have an advantage in troops, why don't we use the advantage, but gamble and fight?

Jieli laughed, "What do you know? Let's see, this time I dispatched my most elite royal court guard, and I won't lose. What about the superiority of the Tang Dynasty's armor? My royal court guards are not weak in armor, and all of them have grown up on horseback since childhood, and the cavalry fights, which is not comparable to a group of recruits. ”

Seeing that the Great Khan was confident, everyone didn't say more, anyway, it was the Great Khan's personal soldiers, and the royal court guards were not at the expense of our troops.

Eastern Front battlefield, in Yunzhou City.

Xiao Rui was discussing the next battle plan with Li Ji, and someone outside asked to see him. claimed to have brought the emperor's decree to find the champion.

"Sent by His Majesty? Look at the eyes. Xiao Rui looked at the bearded middle-aged man in front of him, and could feel that this was a man in the army, not like he came out of the palace.

The other party gave a military salute, "The last general lady guards the horse and swords, and I have seen the Hou Ye!" The last general's trip is for the little princess. ”

Xiao Rui didn't recognize him, and muttered in his mouth: "The guard of the lady's pass? Then why don't you guard the customs at the station, what are you doing on this front line? His Majesty sent someone to pass on the decree, and he would not transfer people from Niangziguan. ”

Fang Yiai stood in front of Xiao Rui vigilantly, "Brother Xiao, be careful that you are an assassin." ”

The entire chamber immediately tensed.

Li Ji walked up laughing, "Don't worry, he will definitely not be an assassin." This person is known to the governor, and he is currently the general of the Niangzi Pass, but before, he was the famous deputy general of the Niangzi Army, Ma Sandao! From the third grade, he is the highest-grade general in the Tang Dynasty. ”

From the three products? Why would a general comparable to General Yunlu go to guard a domestic city pass? You must know that now that the world is peaceful, there will never be a war in Niangzi Pass.

"Ma Sandao has seen General Li."

Li Ji stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Ma, after so many years, are you finally willing to come out and take a look?" ”

Xiao Rui was very puzzled, and Li Junxian helped to explain his doubts: "The son doesn't know. During the Wude period, the women's army was famous all over the world, this general Ma is the famous main general of the women's army, and is the first fierce general under the throne of Princess Pingyang Zhao, with outstanding military achievements, no less than today's sixteen guard generals. ”

But later, Princess Pingyang Zhao died on the battlefield, and the Women's Army was so sad that they chose to defend Weize Pass forever, which is the place where Princess Pingyang Zhao died. Later, the imperial court changed Wei Ze Pass to Niangzi Pass, which was to commemorate Princess Pingyang Zhao. ”

Li Ji continued: "Yes, Lao Ma is our robe, and many of us once persuaded him to go out of the mountain again, but he couldn't get out of his heart and insisted on being a general guarding the pass." He didn't even accept the title of founding duke rewarded by His Majesty, and only received an earl. We all regret that a generation of famous generals has fallen silent. ”

"Hehe, old horse, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Xiao Rui stood up and saluted, "General Ma, disrespectful!" ”

"Don't dare to be a big gift. You led 3,000 soldiers and horses into the grassland and swept all directions, and we all admired you very much. Ma Sandao did not despise Xiao Rui because he was young, but was very respectful.

After the greetings, Xiao Rui asked, "The general said just now that he came for the little princess?" Changle? Could it be that His Majesty sent a general to pick up Changle home? ”

Ma Sandao shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty has written to the last general. said that the little prince was the director, and insisted on battlefield training. But she is young and afraid that she is not safe, so she wants the Women's Army to go out of the mountain to protect Her Royal Highness the little princess. ”

Xiao Rui exclaimed, "Really? Hahahaha, Your Majesty is really generous, knowing that we are short of troops now. If the Women's Army can get out of the mountain, then the pressure on Yunzhou will be much lighter. General Ma, how many people did you bring here this time? ”

"There will be only one of them."

Burst...... What's that? You're alone?

Xiao Rui complained weakly: "You just said that it would be good for Your Majesty to send a guard to the little princess." ”

Ma Sandao said embarrassedly: "I don't hide it." The Women's Army didn't plan to leave, and handed over this army to a teenage girl, even if she is the most favored princess of the Holy Heaven today, even if she is the niece of Princess Pingyang, we swear to death. The Women's Army is lonely, but it's not enough to be a plaything. ”

Forehead...... Listening to this, it seems to be angry.
