I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 88 Li Zheng: Am I going to be promoted again?
  "I have to thank you for saving my life."

"No, I should be thanking General Li for saving my life."

Su Dingfang stepped forward and bowed to Li Zheng with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Zheng quickly bowed in return.

In the military, there are naturally military rules.

Nowadays, Li Zheng's military position is similar to that of Su Dingfang, so he naturally acts with military etiquette.

"sit."

Li Zheng smiled and pointed to the chair beside him.

And he also sat down, and Su Dingfang did not hesitate to sit down directly.

"Brother Li, tell the truth."

"In this Northern Expedition, you are the one I admire the most."

Su Dingfang said with emotion.

For Li Zheng, he was naturally grateful.

His life has been saved twice by Li Zheng.

Once in a melee, he was about to be killed by a Turkic general, but was saved by Li Zheng's magic arrow.

The other time was to attack the Turkic King's City, with arrows falling like rain. If Li Zheng hadn't arrived in time and protected him with a shield, he would have never had the chance to sit here again.

"Luck probably accounts for a large part of achieving such a result."

Li Zheng said humbly.

"There is no luck in fighting on the battlefield. All you have is your courage and strategy in commanding the troops."

Su Dingfang said with a serious expression.

While recuperating, Su Dingfang always paid attention to the battles of the Pioneer Army. After all, these were the troops he had commanded before.

From the moment Li Zheng led the 3,000 vanguard troops into the desert, thousands of miles away, to pursue Yugu Changdu, from beginning to end, Su Dingfang saw a brave general who was not afraid of death, and a Confucian general who was good at strategizing.

"be honest."

"I'm surprised sometimes."

"You were fifteen years old when you joined the army, and you are only sixteen now. You are actually able to achieve such great military exploits. In terms of force, you are the bravest of the three armies. In terms of resourcefulness, you outsmarted the Mobei Royal Court in Mobei. You are equally outstanding."

"Well, before I thought I had the talent to lead troops, but compared with you, it really pales into insignificance."

Su Dingfang looked at Li Zheng and said with emotion.

"General Su."

"If you continue to praise me like this, I will be really proud."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

"What's wrong with being proud? You have the capital to be proud now. No matter who achieves a record like yours, they will be proud!"

Su Dingfang replied with a serious face.

"By the way, General Su, in this Northern Expedition to defeat the Turks, your achievements are enough to get promoted again, right?!"

Li Zheng changed the topic and asked.

"The Northern Expeditionary Army is still in Jinyang now. When they return to Chang'an, they will naturally reward them based on their merits."

"In terms of merit, who else in our Northern Expedition can compare with you, General Li Zheng."

"Brother Li, when you return from the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid you will have to be promoted several levels again."

"By then, it won't be the third grade. I'm afraid it won't be the first grade."

"By the way, I have already applied to the chief manager. If there is any war in the future, I will be a deputy under Brother Li."

Su Dingfang said with a smile.

"Of course I hope to fight side by side with General Su, but when the time comes, General Su will be the right one. Brother, I will help you."

Li Zheng said immediately.

"You have destroyed the Turkic royal court, and you have ruined the Turkic Khan and the Turkic court. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no more wars in the north for decades, and there will be no wars."

Su Dingfang said with some disappointment.

"The Turks are now gone, but don't they still have the northwest border?"

Li Zheng smiled pointedly.

"Northwestern territory? You mean the Xue Yantuo tribe?"

Su Dingfang immediately understood what Li Zheng meant, and then shook his head:
  "When the Turkic power was strong, the Xueyantuo tribe was indeed a hidden danger in our northwest. But as the Turkic power weakened, they have now surrendered to our Tang Dynasty. Now that they see the Turks being crippled by our Tang Dynasty, they dare not create Times."

"That's not necessarily true!"

Li Zheng smiled and did not argue with Su Dingfang.

"Could it be that Xue Yantuo's tribe would really rebel against the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing Li Zheng's calm expression, Su Dingfang's heart began to beat.

The two were chatting. “General Manager Li has arrived.”

A loud shout rang out.

Followed by.

Li Jing was seen walking into the training ground surrounded by a group of personal guards.

Li Zheng and Su Dingfang did not dare to neglect, and immediately stood up, walked down from the general platform, and faced Li Jing.

"Welcome to the chief steward."

Li Zheng and Su Dingfang bowed to Li Jing.

"Okay, both generals are exempt from the courtesy."

Li Jing smiled and waved his hand.

"Thank you, Chief Manager!"

"Thank you, Chief Manager!"

The two thanked each other and slowly stood up straight.

"Li Zheng, do you know what's happening outside?"

Li Jing smiled and looked at Li Zheng and said.

Li Jing's abrupt words made Li Zheng stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"Is there another war?"

"Weren't the Turks just crippled by our Northern Expeditionary Army? They won't make a comeback so soon, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing said angrily:

"Li Zheng, you kid, where have you been?"

"What we are talking about has nothing to do with the war."

"Now that the war in the north has just been settled, the Turks have been completely crippled by the Tang Dynasty. The power of the Tang Dynasty has spread far and wide, so there is no war anywhere."

Li Zheng was a little disappointed: "What else can there be?"

"Li Zheng, how long has it been since you left the military camp?"

Li Jing asked in surprise after hearing this.

"I haven't gone out since I came back from the grassland. I have always stayed in the military camp."

Li Zheng replied honestly.

"Now that the war has been decided, ordinary soldiers can prepare to leave the camp by reporting. Why don't you, a returning general, not leave the camp to recuperate?"

Li Jing said with concern.

"Out of the military camp, there's nothing to do outside. It's better to train inside the military camp."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

"If I hadn't known your age, I would have thought you were a veteran like us. You look old-fashioned."

Li Jing said angrily.

"Brother Li, are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"

"Your name is out there now, no, it's spread all over the world now."

"The common people are calling you the God of War of the Tang Dynasty and the contemporary Huo Qubing!"

Su Dingfang on the side said with a smile.

"I am not the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, if I am also General Manager Li."

Hearing this title, Li Zheng instinctively waved his hand. He really resisted this title.

In his past life memory, Li Jing was the God of War of the Tang Dynasty and was mythologically known as the King of Pagoda.

Although he had made considerable achievements in this Northern Expedition, he was still far behind Li Jing, who had spent his whole life fighting to gain this honor.

He didn't dare to take away Li Jing's name.

"Hahaha, you are too modest."

"The name of the God of War is the heart of the people all over the world."

"Do you know how happy the current emperor is after knowing that you killed the Turkic Khan?"

Li Jing said with a smile.

"Am I going to be promoted again?"

Hearing that Li Shimin was happy, Li Zheng also became happy immediately.

Promotion, this is what he wants most.

The higher the official position, the more generous rewards he will receive.
