"Huo Qubing?"
"Han Dynasty Champion Hou Huo Qubing?"
Li Er, the Emperor of Tang, should have been angry. How could he, as the Emperor of Tang, tolerate such contempt from a nameless general?
However, when Li Er thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but be stunned. His pupils that were staring at Huo Qubing suddenly constricted as if he had seen a ghost.
"Are you really the Marquis Champion of Great Han?"
"I, Huo Qubing, do not change my name. I am the Marquis Champion of Great Han.”
Huo Qubing proudly smiled, very satisfied with their surprise. This proved that there were still people in the Great Tang who knew of his prestige and achievements.
"And now, I, Huo Qubing, am a subordinate of Cao Jing, the Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang.”
he added.
"He really is the Marquis Champion!"
"You are also under the command of the Soul Suppressing General Cao?”
Li Er's hand that was holding the map trembled slightly. He looked deeply at the calm Cao Jing. Cao Jing actually had such a strong charisma as a leader? First, it was Martial Saint Guan Yuzhang, and now it was the world-renowned Han Dynasty champion Hou Qubing.
"That's right, the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing is now my subordinate.”
Cao Jing confirmed.
Li Er nodded at Cao Jing with a fake smile and said,"General Cao is extremely brave and has the courage of ten thousand men. Now that he has another valiant general under his command, it is truly worthy of celebration.”
Just now, Li Er wanted to scold this nameless general, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he actually dared to scold him for his mistakes in such a disdainful manner. He simply deserved to die.
But now that he knew that this person was the descendant of the Marquis Champion, Huo Qubing, he had to admit that the Great Tang was indeed in a state of internal and external trouble.
His internal worries were that he had just ascended the throne and achieved the status of the Supreme Emperor. There were still stubborn old ministers in the court who were not convinced, and there were also Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanchen's remnants of the Crown Prince who were causing trouble.
The foreign threat was that the barbarians from all directions would spy on the Great Tang and occasionally invade the border of the Great Tang. They would kidnap the people of the Great Tang and make him unable to do anything.
And who was this Huo Qubing?
Li Er, who is familiar with poetry and books, naturally knows it clearly.
That was Fenglang Juxu, the ruthless character who beat up the Xiongnu until they cried for their parents to save them.
In comparison, he had no reason to refute the Marquis Champion's criticism.
Li Er could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"The Marquis Champion once said,'If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can we call ourselves a family'. I truly admire your bold words. Now that the Great Tang is surrounded by powerful enemies, I also know that the Marquis Champion has the merit of vanquishing the Xiongnu.”
Li Er suddenly lowered his posture, his expression full of the intention to rope him in. Then, he puffed out his chest and continued,"But I have the ambition to destroy the four directions, so I will definitely lead the mighty army of the Great Tang and have all the dynasties come to congratulate me.”
"I'm willing to be Your Majesty's vanguard!"
"I will definitely follow Your Majesty to destroy the barbarians!”
"This general is willing to be ordered around by Your Majesty and achieve supreme merits!”
Behind him, Cheng Yaojin and the other Tang generals were panting as they bowed and called out.
Hearing the shouts of the generals behind him, Li Er smiled proudly. However, he was more concerned about the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing, so he looked over from the corner of his eye. However, he saw that the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing didn't even look at him. This wasn't just disappointing.
"Haha, Your Majesty's ambition is truly a blessing for the people of the Great Tang.”
Cao Jing clapped his hands and laughed, then pointed at the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing and said,""My subordinate Huo Qubing is young and impetuous. He doesn't know manners and publicly rebukes Your Majesty.”
After saying that, Cao Jing turned to look at the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing with a smile and said,""This place doesn't allow you to be impudent.”
"I will obey your orders."
Huo Qubing replied with his head lowered.
When Li Er saw Cao Jing's light punishment of Huo Qubing, the corner of his mouth twitched. Then he saw Huo Qubing's respectful manner towards Cao Jing. He could only sigh in his heart. His goodwill towards the Marquis Champion Huo Qubing was useless.
"Haha!"
Seeing Li Er's defeated look, Cao Jing was instantly overjoyed. He walked to Li Er's side and took the map of the barbarian tribes at the border of the Tang Empire and several reports from the Tang border army. When he received the reports, Cao Jing was slightly stunned. Seeing Li Er's expectant eyes, Cao Jing still took them. He took a look at the map and ordered,"Huo Qubing, the Marquis Champion will follow me to the border of the Great Tang.”
After that, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded like a heavy rain, and the flag of the Soul Repressing Army stood up in the wind. The 18 riders of Yan Yun and the 800 riders of the Champion Army marched forward, heading straight for the gate of Chang 'an.
........
"Hmph, although this Soul Suppressing General Cao has killed the Jie Li Khagan and awed the two hundred thousand Turkic barbarians, he shouldn't be so arrogant, especially in front of His Majesty.”
"Yes, His Majesty came personally, but he actually sat on his warhorse and did not dismount to salute. He does not know etiquette and is simply too arrogant.”
"That's right. This child actually does not place His Majesty in his eyes…"
After Cao Jing led Huo Qubing and the Champion Cavalry far away, Li Er heard a cold snort and the sound of people dismissing him.
However, Li Er did not answer or reprimand him. Instead, he stared at Cao Jing's back and sighed deeply."How can I allow others to sleep soundly when I'm lying on the side of the bed?"
I'm begging for Flower, I'm begging for full marks, I'm begging for all support.
