Chapter 80 Who can take on the great responsibility?
"Now that the western part of the Tang Dynasty has been completely recovered by Yan Ling, we no longer have any worries. Next, we can figure out how to defeat Wang Shichong and attack Luoyang City!"
Li Shimin and Yan Ling walked in the palace and looked at the world. Li Shimin said in a relaxed tone.
Yan Ling wondered: "What about Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang? Isn't the King of Qin afraid that when we send troops to Guanzhong to attack Luoyang, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang will attack Luoyang in the back?"
Li Shimin smiled back: "You are not the only one fighting during this time, Yan Ling. A few days ago, Liu Wuzhou thought that if the Tang Dynasty resisted Xue Ju's troops, the rear must be empty of troops, so he led his troops to invade, but I left him behind.
The army held back their pace, and after I defeated Xue Ju and returned, I completely wiped them out. Now that I, the Tang Dynasty, occupy the dangerous strategic point in Guanzhong, I no longer have any worries. I can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. The general trend of the world is in my hands!"
Li Shimin's face was full of energy, and he stretched out his hand, as if he had captured the whole world! Yan Ling smiled when he heard this, and the sooner Li Shimin unified the world, the sooner Yan Ling could complete his mission.
Suddenly, Yan Ling's heart moved, and he thought of Li Shimin's biggest opponent in this world, and asked: "Has the King of Qin heard any news about Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling recently?"
"Why are you suddenly interested in these two people?" Li Shimin glanced at Yan Ling in surprise.
Yan Ling raised his eyebrows and replied: "I have met them several times, and every time I meet these two people, their martial arts have greatly improved. They are really very human, so I would like to know how far these two people's martial arts have reached at this time."
"That's it!" Li Shimin thought of Yan Ling's martial arts-mad temperament and said with relief: "You really have a good vision. After we parted ways in Luoyang, these two people have become very famous in the south. Recently, they even became famous under my eyes.
Open Yang Gong's treasure house from under Chang'an's Leaping Horse Bridge and get the Evil Emperor's relic!"
Li Shimin's tone was complicated and he continued: "Moreover, these two people not only made rapid progress in martial arts, but Kou Zhong even recruited troops and participated in the great cause of world hegemony. Now their young marshal army has united with the Song Dynasty and has great prestige. It has become my great power."
Tang Yi’s biggest rival to dominate the world!”
Yan Ling was silent, he could understand what Li Shimin was thinking. Speaking of which, when the Li clan launched an army, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling also took credit for stealing the Dongming faction's account books. At that time, Li Shimin admired these two people very much. Now,
But they can only meet each other with swords and swords, and their mood is naturally complicated.
After half the payment, Yan Ling said: "It seems that I have found my opponent. I hope they won't disappoint me!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt much better. Kou Zhong's young commander's army was indeed in the limelight for a while, but could it still suppress Yan Ling's cavalry battalion? No, it's Ling Yun's army now!
Speaking of which, Li Shimin personally asked Li Yuan for credit for the Lingyun Army. He told Li Yuan the key points of Yan Ling's military exploits in Longxi and the reform methods he proposed for the army. Only then did Li Yuan make an exception and make Yan Ling General Lingyun!
"However, Yan Ling, you can't be careless. Kou Zhong has the support of the Song Clan, and the leader of the Song Clan, Song Que, is one of the most skilled masters in the world. Even the three great masters don't dare to provoke him easily. It's better to be careful!" Li Shimin reminded!
road.
Yan Ling said confidently: "Song Que's name is known all over the world, but I still want to know whether his sword skills are better or my spear skills are stronger. I'm really looking forward to it!"
After two battles against Xue Ju and a surprise attack on Li Gui, Yan Ling had already condensed ten drops of essence and blood in his heart, reaching the perfect state of the second level of hegemony. His body, true energy, and artistic conception had all reached the innate level.
At the limit, you only need to blend your spirit and true energy to enter the realm of a master.
And because Yan Ling has both internal and external cultivation, he can exert strength that far exceeds his cultivation level. Now that he really takes action, the master master cannot say that he can definitely defeat Yan Ling. Everything has to be fought before he can win!
"General Yan is so confident that he doesn't even look down on the Heavenly Sword Song Que!"
A slightly sarcastic voice reached the ears of Yan Ling and Li Shimin. They turned around and saw that Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji were speaking. It was Li Yuanji, the third son of Li Yuan, who was speaking.
"I have met the prince, King Qi!"
Yan Ling saluted, and Li Shimin on the side said hello.
Li Yuanji said impatiently: "No gift, no gift!"
After Yan Ling finished the ceremony, Li Yuanji continued to mock: "I have heard for a long time that General Yan is amazingly powerful and has superb marksmanship. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary. Even Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, dares to challenge him!"
Yan Ling's face did not change and he said calmly: "How dare you claim to have outstanding marksmanship in front of King Qi? Who doesn't know that King Qi's marksmanship is the best in the army and is famous all over the world!"
In fact, Li Yuanji did not play many roles in the original work of Tang Dynasty, but the original work said that his marksmanship was the best in the world. It happened that Yan Ling was learning how to use the big gun with his elder brother Yan Feng at that time, so he remembered Li Yuanji.
But in the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing impressive about being the best in marksmanship. There were almost no spear masters in the Tang Dynasty. Under such circumstances, what does it mean to be the best in marksmanship?
However, Li Yuanji did not hear the disapproval in Yan Ling's words, and said proudly: "Just understand, even I don't dare to challenge Song Que, you are still far behind!"
"That's what King Qi taught you." Yan Ling said with a smile in his heart, but he still did a good job on the surface, being respectful and polite!
At this time, Prince Li Jiancheng interrupted Li Yuanji's boasting, smiled at Yan Ling and said: "Congratulations to General Yan for returning victoriously. I heard from the people that General Yan has unique military principles. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely ask General Yan for advice on how to lead troops."
!”
"The prince is overly complimentary. It's just my humble opinion. I'm honored that the prince is willing to listen!" Yan Ling's answer was so official that it was impossible to find fault.
Li Shimin did not interfere with anything, and quietly watched Yan Ling and Li Jiancheng talking. After they finished speaking, Li Shimin exchanged a few words with his two brothers, and then left the palace with Yan Ling.
After Yan Ling and the others left, Li Jiancheng dropped his smile and said in a calm tone: "How is Yan Ling?"
Li Yuanji was no longer arrogant, and said with a deep look: "Yan Ling showed no fear when he mentioned Song Que. If he is not arrogant and arrogant, he is full of confidence. But he can become a general in the second brother's hands. I don't think he is the former."
Li Yuanji recalled: "I saw the divine light in his eyes and his calm demeanor. I tried to sense his strength, but it had no effect. It is as unfathomable as the sea!"
Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed and his expression was solemn. He did not suspect that Li Yuanji was exaggerating. As one of the top masters among the Li clan, Li Yuanji was the strongest martial artist among Li Yuan's sons. He also had Li Jiancheng's views on martial arts.
Incomparable, Li Yuanji's evaluation of Yan Ling certainly has his reasons.
Moreover, Li Jiancheng himself had collected information about Yan Ling, and knew that although Yan Ling was not well-known in the world, anyone who paid attention to Li Shimin would know that he had a very high status in Li Shimin's power. Li Shimin would win every battle, and Yan Ling's contribution was indispensable.
without!
"What do you think?"
While Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng were talking about Yan Ling, Li Shimin was also asking Yan Ling what he thought of Li Jiancheng.
Yan Ling praised: "The prince's talents are outstanding, and King Qi's military strength is outstanding. They are both outstanding men of their generation!"
"However, governing the world is not that simple. There are extremely high requirements in military affairs, governance, morality, employment, etc. The prince is still a little behind at this time!" Yan Ling changed the subject and jumped to whether Li Jiancheng is qualified to be the monarch.
on the position.
Li Shimin said with a smile in his eyes: "Then who do you think can take on this important task?"
Yan Ling replied meaningfully: "What does King Qin think?"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing! (To be continued)
