A dragoon army has made Hou Junji very jealous of Li Zhi.

At this time, he himself was not in charge of an army alone.

If he cultivated a few strong armies according to the training method of the dragoons, wouldn't he have even more status as the secretary of the military department at that time?

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, Li Zhi spoke: "Lord Hou's thoughts are a little too optimistic.

Although Tibet has been defeated, it has not completely lost its combat power.

Although the Western Turks are in the midst of civil strife for the time being, they will certainly not last long.

Once the Western Turks regain stability, their combat strength will soon be restored.

In addition, Xue Yantuo in the north has a great potential to replace the Eastern Turks.

How can Lord Hou say that these countries are weak? ”

Hou Junji said: "After all, the strength of these countries has been greatly weakened, and my Tang Dynasty armies are enough to deal with it."

It is really not appropriate to continue to keep the dragoons and waste such a huge resource. ”

Li Zhi said: "This king thinks that Lord Hou can change his mind. ”

Hou Junji opened his mouth and said, "Please advise Your Highness." ”

Li Zhi spoke: "Now my father is already trying to exempt himself from forced labor.

Why not take this opportunity to cut some of the troops so that these people can go all out and generate more tax revenues.

Wouldn't it be better for the imperial court to use these taxes to support more elite soldiers? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Hou Junji spoke: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty is huge, how can the soldiers be taken care of if they are reduced too much? ”

Li Zhidao: "It is not easy to dismantle the army guarding the frontier, but not all the soldiers of the state governments must be retained now. ”

Li Chengqian said: "Now that the states have just been slightly stable, if there is no deterrence from the government soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to maintain, right?" ”

Li Zhi said: "This matter is not in a hurry, and it can be slowly abolished from the conditional state capital." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Chengqian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while.

So he could only frown and think to himself, and did not speak for a while.

In fact, what Li Zhi is saying now is to divert everyone's attention, and by the way, remind everyone that the dragoon army is not impossible to copy.

He also knew that what these people were really afraid of was that the dragoon army was too deeply bound to him, which would affect the stability of the court in the future.

But this is an advantage that I have worked out with great difficulty, how can I give up easily?

Seeing that no one was expressing his opinion anymore, Li Shimin said: "The military issue will be left to the generals to discuss in the coming day."

Today's matter is over, if you have nothing else to do, let us disperse first. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the officials left one after another, among which Fang Xuanling ran the fastest.

He wanted to hurry up to Zhang Shiping to ask about his son's situation.

However, when he had just walked out of Chengtianmen, before he had time to go to Shangshu Province to explain his work, he saw the housekeeper in his house.

After the housekeeper saw Fang Xuanling's figure, he immediately ran over and said, "Master, the young man has gone home, and the lady asked the little one to come and spread the word." ”

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't care about returning to Shangshu Province anymore.

I only heard him say excitedly: "Then the rebel will come back?" Have you ever been injured? Is it fat or thin? ”

Fang Xuanling was talking, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he was about to return to the house directly.

The housekeeper said as he walked behind: "Back to the master, the young man is not sick or sick, and he is in good spirits!"

There is a horse-drawn carriage parked outside, so you can go slower. ”

Fang Xuanling's footsteps at this time were getting faster and faster, and the housekeeper couldn't keep up.

When Fang Xuanling finally returned home, as soon as he stepped through the door, he saw a young man in military uniform walking with his wife.

Fang Xuanling fixed his eyes and saw that it was his son Fang Yuai.

At this time, Fang Yiai's photo seems to be a completely different person than before.

There is no longer that feeling of shaking and flowing in the flow between walks.

Instead, the body is straight and the pace is upright.

Fang Xuanling was directly stunned when he saw this, he felt that he was in a bit of a trance at this time, and he couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

Fang Yiai didn't take any more steps after seeing Fang Xuanling enter the door, so she hurriedly walked two steps to Fang Xuanling.

Immediately afterwards, he spoke under Fang Xuanling's surprised gaze: "My bereaved love has seen my father. ”

This made Fang Xuanling even more unable to believe his eyes.

You must know that since Fang Yiai ran faster than himself, he had never behaved so well in front of him.

So he tentatively asked, "Is it really Wu'er in front of you?" ”

Fang Yiai saluted again and said: "It was the love that was unfilial before, which made my father bothered. ”

After Fang Xuanling listened to Fang Yuai's words, he was so excited that even his lips began to tremble.

He cautiously stretched out his palm and stroked the top of Fang Yiai's head and said, "Wu'er... Finally grew up. ”

After saying this, a few tears fell directly from his eyes.

Lu Shi, who was standing on the side, was also constantly wiping the corners of his eyes at this time.

She was also taken aback when she first met Fang Yiai.

After Fang Xuanling calmed down his emotions for a while, he immediately spoke: "Hurry up and go to the guest hall with your father."

As a father, listen well to your deeds in the army. ”

After Fang Yiai agreed, he helped Lu Shi into the guest hall together.

And as he told the story, Fang Xuanling and his wife quickly learned about their son's recent experience in the army.

At this time, the same scene was happening in Chai Shao's house.

It's just that Chai Lingwu's mother died early, and at this time, only Chai Lingwu and Chai Shao talked to each other.

At this time, both Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao sighed in their hearts about their wise decision.

At the same time, he was also silently thanking Su Lie for taking care of his children.

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu may not be very clear about why they were able to easily kill nearly ten people on the battlefield.

But Fang Xuanling and the others will not know how difficult it is.

So far, the two of them can only be regarded as new recruits, and they have not fully mastered the art of killing enemies on the battlefield.

Compared to the veterans in the Dragoons, there is not much difference.

If someone hadn't taken care of it, how could they have gained with their combat experience?

And why are other people willing to take the initiative to give up their ready-made military exploits?

At this time, neither Fang Xuanling nor Chai Shao chose to tell the two of them about Su Lie's secret operation.

They just watched with satisfaction as their son described the experience on the battlefield with a vivid voice.

At this time, they only want to see their son have a bright future, and as for those who owe favors, they can pay it slowly.

At this time, Li Zhi, who helped them send his son to the dragoon, was teaching Wu Zetian how to ride a bicycle in the palace.

Li Zhi was wondering how it could be so difficult for a clever Wu Zetian to practice riding a bicycle at this time.
