When Su Lie heard the words of this thousand-man general, he immediately knew that he might have misunderstood.

So he hurriedly bowed and said: "The general misunderstood, it's not that the general is unwilling to fight with the general, but the strength of this son is stronger than the general." ”

When the thousand-person general heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he took a deep look at Xue Li.

In the end, he reached out and patted Xue Li's shoulder lightly and said, "The little brother has such skills at a young age, his future is definitely limitless, and the old brother is convinced." ”

Xue Li hurriedly bowed with a red face.

Then he said with some surprise: "It's Rengui who is reckless, and I hope that General Haihan is still looking." ”

The thousand-person general spoke: "The strength of the battlefield is respected, but Lin's skills are not as good as others, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

After saying this, his gaze turned to Hou Junji.

I found him standing aside with a dull face at the moment.

If you look closely, you can see that his lips are still trembling violently.

Just when he wanted to go over and confess, he found that Li Shimin and the others actually walked out of the darkness in good spirits.

He glanced at Hou Junji again and found that he was still the same as before.

So he could only sigh and take the lead to greet Li Shimin and the others.

After he came to Li Shimin, he knelt down on one knee and said: "The humble Lin Tao is not effective in leading the troops, and he is worthy of His Majesty's trust, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin smiled "haha" and then helped Lin Tao up with his own hands.

Then he spoke: "There is too much difference in the strength of the two sides in this competition, even if I personally command the situation, it has nothing to do with you and others. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Hou Junji, and saw that he still looked lost and depressed, and couldn't help frowning.

Li Shimin came to Hou Junji and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

After Hou Junji came to his senses, he said: "The Dragoon Army is the most elite division of my Tang Dynasty, you should be happy as the secretary of the military department, why are you so depressed?" ”

Hou Junji had concluded from the beginning of the battle that the dragoons had climbed from other directions.

But what shocked him so much was not just the strength of the dragoons.

The deeper reason is actually because this team was prepared by Li Zhi.

This means that the achievements of this army in the future will be Li Zhi's stroke.

In this way, Li Zhi can pose a great threat to Li Chengqian's position.

At this time, after listening to Li Shimin's words, he immediately showed a panicked look and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister just didn't expect that the dragoon army was so good, and he couldn't understand it for a while. ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he did not doubt him.

So he patted Hou Junji's shoulder again and said, "We are also quite shocked by the strength of the dragoons. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "However, now that the facts are in front of us, you and I should gladly accept it." ”

Hou Junji saluted and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning this strong army." ”

The others also spoke up at this time: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”

Li Shimin laughed heartily.

Then he looked at the group of dragoon soldiers led by Su Lie.

I only heard him speak: "I have already said before the competition that the winner of this time will be rewarded with 100 yuan each. ”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment before continuing, "However, the performance of the Dragoons today far exceeded my expectations, and in order to show my appreciation, I have decided to reward each of them with another hundred yuan. ”

The soldiers of the Dragoon Army knelt down on one knee after hearing Li Shimin's promise.

Su Lie was the first to speak: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

The others followed suit: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

Then he said to Li Zhi and Li Jing: "Li Zhi, King of Jin, Shangshu's right servant shoots Li Jing, you two come up with good strategies, train strong soldiers, and add a strong force to my Tang Dynasty." ”

He hesitated for a moment, then seemed to make up his mind.

I only heard him continue to speak: "Now I will hand over the dragoon army to the command of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and I hope you will live up to my expectations and lead the dragoon army to achieve new success." ”

Hou Junji's eyes widened immediately when he heard Li Shimin's decision.

He was just about to open his mouth to object, but found that Fang Xuanling, Wei Chi Jingde and the others were all looking at him meaningfully.

This brought him to his senses immediately.

Just from the expressions of everyone, it can be seen that they not only agree with the emperor's decision, but also secretly put pressure on themselves.

So he immediately closed his eyes and simply shut up.

After Li Shimin announced Li Zhi's appointment, he continued to speak: "Shangshu's right servant shot Li Jing has suffered from foot disease many times since the conquest of the Eastern Turks, and today I will give a Lingshou staff, hoping that the pharmacist will recover as soon as possible." ”

Li Shimin's reward to Li Jing is very meaningful.

Since he returned from his campaign against the Eastern Turks, he has been repeatedly impeached for distributing gold, silver and jewelry looted from the Eastern Turks to his soldiers.

This kind of thing was not a big deal in the first place, and it just so happened that Li Jing became Li Zhi's teacher not long after.

Therefore, Li Shimin, who originally wanted to beat Li Jing, just said a few words to him lightly and put the matter down.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Jing rarely expressed his opinions in the court since he sat in the position of the right servant.

He was absent from many key meetings on the grounds of foot disease.

Of course, Li Shimin knew that this was Li Jing showing his attitude to himself, showing that he wanted to retreat bravely.

But he was reluctant to let Li Jing leave the court easily.

Today, I just took this opportunity to express my attitude to Li Jing.

So that Li Jing can serve in the court with peace of mind in the future.

Li Zhi and Li Jing both received the order to thank them, and after that, everyone else also came up to congratulate them.

At this point, the competition is completely over.

Once again, the warriors of the Dragoons entered the tents and released all the people inside.

When the warriors of the Sixteen Guards came out of their tents, they all looked like dirt and looked dejected.

They still haven't figured out how they could have been attacked in their sleep.

Lin Tao couldn't help but smile wryly after seeing their appearance.

Then he gathered all these people together and comforted them.

Everyone waited until it was dawn and then went down the mountain and returned to Chang'an City.

Although Li Zhi had another position, he did not urgently meddle in the affairs of the Dragoons.

He directly handed over the power to Su Lie's hands and asked him to continue to lead people to train quickly.

He still has a lot of important things to do, and he simply doesn't have much energy to manage the dragoons.

What's more, he also knows very well in his heart that at his current age, he has no chance to really lead troops to war.

His own Lao Tzu handed over this force to himself, fundamentally just to capture such a dangerous force into his own hands.
