Chapter 624: Duke Jingguo is numb!
The Duke of Jingguo.
The three members of Li Jin's family were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. There was no one around them. Duke Jing wanted to withdraw from the crowd and have a heart-to-heart talk with the two brothers and sisters.
"What a trick of fate!"
"I thought that after this battle, my father would retreat bravely, but I didn't expect that Yan'er would stay in the north."
"Being a father has given me all hope. I can't think of anything. God is playing tricks on me."
With a look of emotion on his face, Li Jin first looked at Li Xiuning: "The imperial court has issued edicts several times for my father to return to the court to implement military reform. I originally intended to let go of the military power in my hands, but now this sudden change will completely destroy my father's plan." It's messy."
"That's fine. After the storm is over, my father will resign from the court and we will go back to our hometown in Yanzhou together."
"The situation in the capital is becoming more and more complicated. My father is suspected of having great achievements and has shaken the master. Now that something happened to Yan'er, he has saved my Li family!"
Hearing Li Jin's words, Li Jing frowned slightly. He was about to show off his skills, but the cheap dad told him to retreat bravely?
Return the wool?
What will I do if you quit?
Call you daddy for nothing?
"Father!"
"Now that my position as Duke of Jingguo is unshakable, and you have also released your military power, why do you still want to leave the capital?"
Before Li Jing could speak, Li Xiuning frowned and asked in confusion.
"It's not that simple!"
"His Majesty is hiding behind the scenes, and King Yong is pushed to the front. Isn't the situation clear enough?"
"Today is a time of troubled times in the next life. Hu Nu negotiated peace with Dayan State, completely breaking the balance of the countries in the Central Plains!"
"Over the years, if Hu Nu had not restrained Dayan's troops, I, Dayu, would have been pushed aside dozens or hundreds of times by Dayan."
"The imperial court has been carrying out military reform during this period. I had previously deliberately asked my father to stand in front of the stage. But if this is the case, my Li family will definitely offend all the powerful officials in the imperial court. I am not afraid, and I will even risk my life for the imperial court."
"But my Li family has gone through so much, and I can say that I am worthy of the imperial court and worthy of Dayu!"
"As a father, I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace, watch you two get married, and continue the bloodline of my Li family."
Hearing Li Jin's words, Li Xiuning also fell silent, but Li Jing on the side said softly: "Father, I am not going to leave. Now the imperial court is recruiting troops, and I am ready to join the army to ensure eternal peace for my Dayu!"
"Nonsense!"
After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Jin's expression suddenly changed and he shouted sternly: "As my father has said, my Li family has shed enough blood for the imperial court and for this country, and I don't need you to risk your life to serve."
"My Li family, now you are the only one left. Are you going to imitate your uncle and your brother and completely ruin my Li family?"
"Father!"
Li Jing's eyes shone with a gleam, and he said firmly: "As the saying goes, times make heroes. For the mediocre, troubled times are a curse, but for the heroes, troubled times are opportunities. When a child encounters this situation, It’s a blessing for children!”
"If you are a mediocre person in this great world and do nothing, your life will be in vain!"
"Besides, I've been keeping a low profile for these years, just waiting for this opportunity."
Li Jin was shocked by Li Jing's words, but he remained unwavering and said calmly: "You have been wandering around since you were a child. You have never killed anyone and seen blood, and you have never been on the battlefield. You know the art of war and you can pass it through." Strategy?"
"Understand a little!"
Li Jing's face showed a bit of humility, but in Li Jin's eyes, it was the unique pride of young people. He snorted: "Okay, since you think you know the art of war, let's play war games. If you can beat me by half a point, , as a father, I won’t stop you!”
"Does father really mean what he said?"
"Huh, as a father, I always keep my word!"
"good!"
Li Jing's face showed a hint of excitement, and he said solemnly: "Not only can my father not stop me, but my son also needs to rely on his father's connections in the military!"
"I'll tell you after you win first!"
"My little sister testifies!"
Li Xiuning on the side also couldn't laugh or cry as she watched this pretentious brother engage in war games with his father. In today's world, those who can surpass his father in the art of war may not have the skills of both hands, right?
Hey, my little brother’s temperament is really not suitable for going to the battlefield!
"Come!"
Half an hour later, Li Jin and Li Xiuning were stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.
"Father, do you still mean what you say?"
"Who taught you your art of war?"
"The child is not talented, but he is quite talented in the art of war!"
Li Jin was speechless. For the whole three games, he was beaten to the point of being completely scratched. Moreover, Li Jing's use of military tactics was so stable, like an old general who had experienced half a lifetime of fighting.
In a word, there is a certain amount of progress and retreat, whether it is the overall view or the control of details, it is perfect!
"Why!"
"I lost for my father, and I am willing to admit defeat!"
"However, war games are just talks on paper after all. My father promised you that I can let you join the army, but I have to make a three-part agreement with you!"
"Father, please speak."
"After getting married first, we can then talk about devoting ourselves to serving the country!"
"Married?"
Li Jing was completely stunned. On the first day of his rebirth, cheap dad let me get married first?
…
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Qin Qiong, Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min and other generals stepped into the palace gate one after another, and an evil spirit was released from their bodies, making the officials who passed by feel intimidated.
"Shu Bao, I heard that General Fengxian led his army across the border of Dayu to pursue Tie Xuanzhen?"
"Hmm!" Qin Qiong nodded with a wry smile: "Although Tie Xuanzhen is a defeated army, he still has tens of thousands of elite cavalry under his command. General Lu is a bit too aggressive this time!"
"Haha, Lu Bu has always been arrogant, which is in line with his personality!"
Guan Yu had a bit of disdain on his face, while Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly.
"I heard that the court is now recruiting soldiers. Yong Zeng, is it possible to expand your beggar army?"
"I am preparing to discuss this matter with the lord. After several battles, my beggar army has lost more than half. Now, with the help of this recruitment, I plan to expand the troops to 50,000!"
"Okay!"
As they talked, they came to the main hall and saw Ning Fan, Guo Jia and others sitting in the middle, looking at the generals with a smile.
"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you, my lord!"
"No need to be polite!"
Ning Fan stood up and looked at Qin Qiong first: "Shubao, do you know why I urgently summoned you back this time?"
"Please tell me, my lord!"
"Expand the army!"
Ning Fan said three words and then said: "There is another good news, another famous general from the Tang Dynasty has entered the world!"
"What!"
Qin Qiong's face was quite excited. Among the outstanding Chinese people who have entered the world, more than half are generals from the Three Kingdoms, and he is the only famous general from the Tang Dynasty. He just doesn't know which general has entered the world.
Could it be the old brothers from the previous life?
"My lord, who has entered the world?"
"Could it be Zhijie, or...Jingde?"
