Li Yuanji let out a long sigh, looked at Li Shiji, and said helplessly: "That's it, I'll just follow your wishes!"
When Li Shiji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled and bowed vigorously: "On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank Your Highness for your mercy!"
After saying this, without waiting for Li Yuanji to speak again, he hurried to the edge of the high platform and announced loudly to all the soldiers under the high platform, "Commanders, listen, Your Highness sympathizes with the hardships of the test, and is also afraid that the test will be difficult for the generals."
He was seriously injured during the competition and was unable to participate in the subsequent war against the Western Turks, so he prepared to fight in person and compete with other generals.
At that time, I hope that all the generals will do the counting and your Highness will do the same!"
This last sentence is a bit redundant. After all, even if Li Yuanji didn't point it out, the generals and generals who faced Li Yuanji would also point it out. After all, the reorganized Yongwang Guard is not a vegetarian.
Yes, Zhao Chengyong is not a vegetarian either.
Even after Zhao Chengyong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became the head of the bodyguards of Prince Yong's Mansion, he didn't have any merits, so we thought he was incompetent.
In fact, in terms of his ability to lead troops to attack, he is not inferior to Xue Wanjun. In terms of arranging troops, he is not inferior to Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others. In terms of personal force, he is estimated to be several times better than Yu Chigong.
Ten moves.
After all, he was the only person in the Tang Dynasty who survived many beatings by Li Yuanji.
Others like Yu Chigong, after being beaten three times, did not dare to let out a fart when seeing Li Yuanji, and did not even dare to think about competing with Li Yuanji again.
Li Yuanji was speechless for a while when he heard Li Shiji's words.
He just agreed to Li Shiji's request, but he didn't say so much. Why did he become such a talkative person when it came to Li Shiji's mouth?
After Li Shiji announced this decision, the soldiers were all stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.
Many of them had heard of Li Yuanji's bravery in the Battle of Weizeguan, and some had seen Li Yuanji's bravery in the Battle of Gyeongju.
Now that they have the opportunity to watch it again, they are extremely excited and look forward to it.
Not only them, but also the generals who were qualified to fight against Li Yuanji looked eager to try.
Many of them had never fought against Li Yuanji, but the bravery Li Yuanji had shown in the past made their ears almost go numb.
Now that they had the opportunity to play against Li Yuanji, they couldn't wait.
They eagerly want to know how big the gap is between themselves and the first person in the Tang Dynasty in terms of military force, and whether they can catch up in their lifetime.
On the high platform and under the high platform, there were only a few people with strange expressions, as if they were hesitant to speak.
These people are all people who have fought against Li Yuanji.
These include Zhao Chengyong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others.
"please!"
When the cheers of the soldiers reached their peak, Li Shiji walked up to Li Yuanji and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Yuanji took a deep breath, stood up slowly, took off his outer robe, put on a slightly tight gown, and slowly walked off the platform.
Under the high platform, Yin Kaishan, who looked like a bitch, came over with a smile and a long waxwood stick.
The stick is specially made and is made of four waxwood poles. It is not easy to crack and is very tough.
After Li Yuanji glared at Yin Kaishan, he picked up the wax stick and entered the largest arena.
Facing all the generals under the ring, Li Yuanji said briefly: "I don't have that much time to play with you, so you can come together!"
Cheng Yaojin, who had fought against Li Yuanji with Yuchi Gong, picked up the wooden weapon and went on without any hesitation.
Others looked at them in shock and stood still.
They are hesitating and hesitating.
They were afraid that if they went together, they would break Li Yuanji.
"No need to hesitate or worry, let's go together!"
Li Junxian, who had also fought against Li Yuanji, clenched the waxwood pole in his hand with a complicated expression, said hello to the other generals, and stepped onto the ring.
Then came Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and so on.
Soon the arena was filled with the winners of the second round of competition.
Some people didn't know the depth of it. After taking the stage, they specially raised their hands to Li Yuanji and said: "Your Highness, I have offended you!"
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing.
"when!"
After everyone who was supposed to be on the ring stood on the ring, Yin Kaishan personally held the hammer and sounded the gong symbolizing the start of the competition.
Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Junxian, who had fought against Li Yuanji before, pounced on Li Yuanji without any hesitation or any hesitation.
The same goes for Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche who have never fought against Li Yuanji but know that their lord is powerful.
Others who had only heard of Li Yuanji's power but had not seen it with their own eyes appeared to be very hesitant. Not only did they attack half a beat slower than Yu Chigong and others, but they also withdrew nearly 90% of their strength.
Li Yuanji held a waxwood stick and held a stick in the air. When Yu Chigong and others were about to rush forward, he picked up the end of the stick and swung the stick with all his strength.
The moment the stick was thrown out, there was a sound of breaking through the air.
However, the sound of breaking through the air only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a crisp sound of 'pop'.
The crisp sound spread very far, and the soldiers under the ring, as well as the soldiers far away from the ring, could hear it clearly.
Then everyone saw a figure flying down from the ring holding a broken weapon.
For a moment, the entire camp became silent, with only the sound of sticks breaking through the air echoing, only the sound of wooden weapons breaking, and only the snap of wooden sticks hitting people.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
One, two, three...
When the last person was pulled out of the ring, the waxwood stick in Li Yuanji's hand had turned into waxwood strips. Even though the waxwood stick was made of four waxwood poles, it could not withstand the huge force.
Destroy and cut off.
Li Yuanji dropped the stick of waxwood in his hand on the ring, and while everyone was looking at the world with dumbfounded expressions, he said lightly, "The rankings in this competition will be based on those who resisted my blow."
Let’s judge based on the severity of the injury!”
As for counting based on the number of rounds resisted, that doesn't exist at all.
Because no one in the ring took Li Yuanji's move.
Li Yuanji always used a stick to send people off the ring.
Even though Yu Chigong and others were fully prepared mentally and worked hard, they were sent off the ring with just one stick.
"Gudu..."
When Li Yuanji finished speaking and walked off the stage, there was a sound of swallowing saliva, followed immediately by a series of sounds of swallowing saliva.
Zhao Chengyong had suffered enough beatings and had seen more brutal scenes, so he was the only one in the entire camp who remained awake. He raised his arms and roared with all his strength: "Wansheng of the Tang Dynasty! Your Highness Wansheng!
"
The other people in the camp came to their senses at his roar, their eyes widened, and they roared with the loudest voice in their lives.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious! Your Highness is victorious!"
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious! Your Highness is victorious!"
"..."
Everyone in the camp shouted loudly, which not only filled the entire camp, but also rushed out of the camp. The soldiers who were patrolling outside the camp and on guard duty stretched their necks to look in the direction of the camp.
"His Royal Highness King Yong is truly a divine man!"
Li Shiji can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but at this moment he is standing on the high platform, muttering a little absentmindedly.
Li Shimin looked a little uncomfortable, as if he had been pricked by something but couldn't pull it out. He felt itchy all over his body.
"He's getting stronger again!"
It's ridiculously strong, it's too strong to be like a human being, it's so strong that it can't be defeated with force, it can only be defeated by wisdom.
This was something difficult for him to accept.
Because this means that his hope of making a comeback and rising again is even slimmer.
Although he can still defeat Li Yuanji through wisdom, Li Yuanji is not alone now, he has a lot of think tanks, and he has the full support of Li Yuan.
Li Yuanji can now be said to be heaven and the general trend. Unless it is someone who is also heaven and can also represent the general trend, it is impossible to defeat Li Yuanji.
The problem is that since the Tang Dynasty conquered the Turks, no one can stand on the same level as Li Yuanji and claim that he is the general trend.
Therefore, Li Yuanji is already invincible and cannot be defeated.
"Maybe it's not that His Highness Yong Wang has become stronger, but that His Highness Yong Wang still had some strength hidden before."
Li Shiji heard Li Shimin's words and said this involuntarily.
When Li Shimin heard this, he froze on the spot.
In other words, when he and Li Yuanji faced off before, Li Yuanji had a hidden trick and did not use his full strength?!
In this way, he and Li Jiancheng did not lose unfairly.
The prince Li Jiancheng is also destined to become their stepping stone.
After all, he also hid a backhand, but he was cut off before he could use it. Li Jiancheng did not hide any backhand at all. Even the backhand that Li Jiancheng thought he had hidden was laid out in front of them.
Therefore, it is inevitable for Li Jiancheng to lose, and there will be a problem if he does not lose.
"Your Highness is so brave!"
At this time, Li Yuanji returned to the high platform, and Li Shiji was the first to greet him and praised him heartily.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Shiji and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Li Shiji nodded and smiled: "Satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied? I will leave the rest to you. Your Highness can go back to the tent and have a good rest. After you have rested, we will see what I do."
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin and said, "Then I'll wait and see!"
After saying this, Li Yuanji did not exchange any more greetings, stepped down from the high platform, and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
In the next few days, Li Shiji began to reorganize all the soldiers in the army based on the rankings in the competition and the list of generals he recognized in his heart who could accompany him into the Western Turks.
He organized a total of one central army and two partial divisions. Among them, the central army and the southwest partial division only had 15,000 troops. The northwest partial division had the largest number of troops among the three teams, with a total of five
More than ten thousand people.
The number of people was several times less than when Li Jing conquered the Turks and when Su Dingfang conquered Suni's lost troops.
But the combat effectiveness has not been greatly reduced, on the contrary, it has been improved.
Perhaps, this is the correct way to start fighting on the grassland. Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others would be heresy if they sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the grassland people.
However, as the saying goes, a black cat or a white cat is a good cat if it catches mice.
As long as the enemy can be defeated, no matter what method is used, it is not wrong, and there is no distinction between high and low.
