Chapter 265: Military Department! Datang!
Many generals, you look at me, I look at you, there seems to be no good way to compare the merits of these two.
Of course, what these generals, including Lu Qingdu, didn't know was that in fact, Li Si had never been the commander of the Xuexue Army on the battlefield, he just hung the name of a commander, and most of the decisions were made by Zhou Ping, the deputy commander.
Through Zhou Ping's series of campaigns in Cloud City and Li Si's own continuous efforts, Li Si finally succeeded in winning the favor of the military department, which is what Zhou Ping wants to see, and it is also what Li Si himself wants.
"Marshal Lu, generals, although it was Zhou Ping who finally killed those two Xuan Realm Immortal cultivators, Zhou Ping didn't dare to take the credit alone!"
Zhou Ping stood up in front of everyone, and said with a smile, "There is an ancient large array under that cloud city, and several generals such as Li Si, Baili Chengfeng, and Cheng Ying worked together with me to activate that large array, and I am just the ultimate user of that large array......"
"Besides, if it weren't for the Yunhua City Lord desperately delaying time for us, I'm afraid we would have been shot to death by the Xuanjing Wolf Beast, with such a credit, I Zhou Ping wouldn't dare to take it alone......"
What he said was true, if he didn't have the joint support of everyone at the beginning, he would not have been able to complete the merger with the help of the Great Array, and he really shouldn't have taken this credit alone.
Hearing this, Li Si glanced at Zhou Ping deeply, and did not refute anything.
He understood Zhou Ping's hard work, and everything Zhou Ping did was so that he could get more support in the future battle for the throne.
Thinking of this, Li Si's face became solemn, and his hands gradually clenched into fists.
"You mean, you don't want to fight for this first credit?" Lu Qingdu looked directly into Zhou Ping's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "I, Zhou Ping, don't have any great ability, to put it bluntly, it's just a martial artist, whether it's killing two wolf clan Xuanjing powerhouses or defeating the three-pupiled white tiger, it's actually mainly because of good luck, it's actually Marshal Lu who can really guide the whole war, it's actually Marshal Lu, you commanders on the battlefield, aren't you?"
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Qingdu's mouth curled slightly, his eyes turned to Li Si, and asked, "Li Si, what do you think?"
Li Si was silent for a moment, got up and walked to Zhou Ping's side and gave him a bear hug, Zhou Ping was confused by Li Si's action, the whole army generals are here, what is this kid going to do?
Many generals looked at the two of them very suspiciously, Lu Qingdu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't understand what Li Si was going to do.
Li Si, who suddenly hugged Zhou Ping, said a word to Zhou Ping lightly.
"Zhou Ping, thank you for everything you have done for me, but some things that should be yours are yours, if I, Li Si, really take it shamelessly, then I will look down on myself for the rest of my life!"
After that, Li Si turned his head and looked directly at Lu Qingdu's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "In fact, the defense battle of Cloud City was commanded by Zhou Ping from beginning to end, and I only guarded one of the four city walls, in fact, Zhou Ping is the biggest hero in guarding Cloud City!"
As soon as these words came out, many generals in the audience were immediately dumbfounded. Originally, in their hearts, Zhou Ping should be a military general with extremely strong combat power, and Li Si is a commander who will use troops like a god, but after Li Si said so......
"Oh?" Lu Qingdu was not as surprised as Li Si imagined when he heard this, he looked at Li Si with great interest and asked, "What you said is true?"
"That's right!" Li Si nodded firmly and said, "If it weren't for me, the southern wall of Cloud City would still be guarded by others, and if it wasn't for Zhou Ping, then Cloud City would have become a ruin long ago!"
After that, he turned to look at Zhou Ping and said, "If you really have these credits you gave me, it is true that my Li Hei can indeed be valued by the military department, but I am uneasy!!"
Lu Qingdu didn't stop these two little guys, but squinted his eyes and watched the play.
He is the commander of the three armies, how could Zhou Ping's little trick of helping Li Si build momentum escape his eyes, whose credit is it, and who really deserves this first credit, will he not know?
Today, Lu Qing took the trouble to make such a play, in fact, to see the mentality of these two juniors, or in other words, to see the temperament of Li Si.
If this second prince is really the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to seize the throne for the sake of power, then Lu Qingdu will definitely look down on him in the future, but now it seems that this second prince who has always been unknown in Chang'an City is really not much worse than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......
"All the generals here are all veterans who command the army, and you should know the purpose of my Li Si coming to the battlefield, and I don't need to hide it from you. ”
Since the words have been said to this point, Li Si simply made a mistake and said everything.
"If I get these military exploits of Zhou Ping, then I will definitely be able to take the lead, if I add my operation during this time, then it is not impossible for me to get the favor and support of the high-level of the Tang Military Department, and I have the support of the Military Department, although I am still not as good as the eldest brother, but I have the qualifications to wrestle with him!"
If it was in Chang'an City, these disrespectful words would be enough to send Li Si into a place of no return, but at this time it was on the frontier battlefield, and Li Si was a great hero who led the team to win the three armies, and he was a brave general who won the hearts of the army! So even if Lu Qingdu's face was sinking like water at this time, he did not organize this little guy.
To be honest, he also wanted to see what kind of heartfelt words this down-and-out second prince could say!
Li Si looked around the audience, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "But I can't do this!"
"Although I am down, I am still the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never do such a deceptive thing for my own selfish interests!"
"And ......" he finally turned his gaze back to Zhou Ping, and said word by word, "No matter how great the military feats are, they can't match my life and death brother!"
"I want to rely on my own strength to climb up step by step! The military department, the Tang Dynasty, and I want Li Si!!"
"Enough!" Lu Qingdu stopped him in time, and if he continued, this kid didn't know what to say again.
Although this second prince is crazy, no matter how great his military exploits are, my brother of life and death has earned enough favor for him. These generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round are not like those scheming politicians above the court, what they value most is the friendship in the army!
For the sake of brotherhood, Zhou Ping was willing to give up his own merits to fulfill Li Si, but Li Si was unwilling to make it difficult for his brother, so he made this matter clear.
The final result was that Li Si lost the credit, but won the respect of everyone present!
