Li Zhao was not surprised by Wei Zheng's performance.
As a remonstrant who had left his name in history, Wei Zheng was loyal to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Every time he remonstrated, his words were harsh and beneficial to the country.
Li Zhao originally thought that Wei Zheng's previous objection was Li Jiancheng's instigation and simply did not want him to divide his power.
But now, he didn't care about his so-called face and openly apologized to Li Zhao, showing that he was sincerely convinced. This made Li Zhao realize that this eternal remonstrant was upright and upright for the public.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. Lord Wei, please forgive me.”
Li Zhao gently waved his hand, magnanimously not bickering with him.
All the officials saw this and couldn't help but secretly nod their heads. They all looked at Li Zhao's bearing in a new light.
" This kid is broad-minded and has an extraordinary bearing. Fortunately, he's not Yuan Ba. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Crown Prince and I would have to abdicate…"
Li Shi Min sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of relief.
Among the officials, Li Jing was twirling his short beard as he secretly looked at Li Zhao. Not only was his gaze filled with admiration and wonder, but it was also mixed with a trace of thought-provoking speculation.
"Could it be that he is the destined War God that I predicted?”
Li Jing nodded slightly. He already had an idea.
At this moment, Li Yuan pulled Li Zhao back to the Golden Hall and returned to his Dragon Throne.
He flicked his sleeves and turned around, looking down at the ministers and said happily,""Pass on this Emperor's decree. This Emperor will announce to the world that Li Qing is the Great Tang's Marquis Champion, the Divine Regime General, and that our Great Tang has a new pillar to support the heavens!”
"My emperor is wise-"
"Long live the Emperor!"
The greetings of the civil and military officials echoed throughout the golden hall.
Immediately, imperial edicts were sent from Chang 'an to all the prefectures of the Tang Empire.
In less than a month, Li Zhao was conferred the title of Marquis Champion, and the announcement of the Divine Regime General was posted in the first city of the Great Tang.
Li Zhao's name also resounded throughout the entire country in practically a single night.
"So the young War God who resolved the siege of Chang 'an and defeated the Turks is called Li Zhao!”
"I heard that this Marquis Champion just traveled a thousand li in a day, killed the number one Turkic Great General Ashinashimo, and resolved the siege of Dingxiang.”
"This Marquis Champion is too amazing. He's like a god descending to the mortal world.”
"That's right. I also heard that the miraculous Prosperous Age wheat was also cultivated by this Marquis Champion.”
"There's actually such a thing? Where did this Marquis Champion come from? How could he have such miraculous abilities?”
……
In every corner of the Great Tang, whether it was the officials, nobles, or the common people, the topic of discussion was the same.
Outside the Marquis Mansion in Chang 'an, there were crowds of people outside the door every day since dawn. They were all looking forward to the chance to see the Marquis Champion's elegant demeanor.
"Sigh, there are so many people blocking our door every day. I have to go out through the back door to buy vegetables.”
In the courtyard of the Marquisdom, Zhao Yu-er muttered to herself as she carried a basket of vegetables and came before Li Zhao.
Li Zhao only smiled and jumped onto his horse. He opened the gate and rode out.
He was now the Divine Register-General and had a military position. Naturally, he could not idle around in the marquis 'manor and enjoyed life. He needed to go to the military camp to inspect.
As soon as the door opened, the commoners gathered outside the manor immediately erupted into excitement and discussion.
However, Li Zhao was unmoved. Under everyone's respectful gazes, he beat Ma Yang and headed straight for the military camp.
Fifteen minutes later, he met Li Jing at the West Camp of Chang 'an.
After a few pleasantries, the Great Tang War God brought Li Zhao to inspect the various battalions and observe the training of the soldiers.
"Champion Marquis, what is the key to the way of governing the army?”
Li Jing asked casually as he walked.
Li Zhao could tell that this Great Tang War God was testing his ability to govern the army.
Although Li Zhao had performed extraordinary feats twice and displayed extraordinary martial arts, Li Jing was convinced in this aspect.
However, as a General of the Divine Book, it was not enough to just have martial arts. He had to have outstanding ability to command troops. Otherwise, he was just a fierce general.
What he didn't know was that although Li Zhao didn't come from a family of generals, he had the Philosopher System. The Military System contained countless essences of military strategy.
"The way of governing the army is nothing more than four words-clear rewards and punishments.”
Li Zhao's answer was simple, but it made Li Jing's heart tremble. He couldn't help but nod slightly, secretly praising him.
The art of war might seem complicated, but since ancient times, all the books on war had been long.
However, a true expert in managing an army knew the essence of it. It was just a few words.
" What a fair reward and punishment. He can simplify the art of war to the point that it only has four words. He is indeed proficient in the way of governing the army…"
Li Jing praised in his heart, but he did not show it. He asked again,"Then what does the Marquis Champion think about the art of war?”
"It's also four words.”
Li Zhao's answer was as simple as ever.
Li Jing's expression changed, and a hint of respect appeared on his face.
Rewards and punishments were clear, and the odd and the right were in harmony. One governed the army, and the other used troops. These were the eight most essential words in the art of war.
Li Zhao seemed to be born in the countryside and was only fifteen years old, but he actually grasped the essence of these eight words. How could Li Jing not admire this talent of a general?
As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the cavalry camp.
"Now that the Turkic army has suffered heavy losses twice, it's a good opportunity for our Great Tang to attack. It's just that our army lacks good horses, so it's been delayed.”
Li Jing pointed at the cavalrymen who were training in the camp, his tone somewhat regretful.
Li Zhao's thoughts raced as a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He said,""It's just that we don't have enough warhorses.”
