"Good fight! This Zhang Fei was leading the two armies in the front, that was called spirit!”
"Guan Yu, Guan Yunzhang, you are indeed a brave general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!”
“......”
Seeing that Li Er and the middle-aged general beside him were also so intoxicated, Li Chuan silently sat down at the stone table.
There were only a few generals who could enter and leave King Qin's residence at will. Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and a few others.
It wasn't hard to imagine how excited these two would be if they saw the film " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ".
An hour later, the sky darkened. Li Er and the middle-aged general had watched it countless times before they slowly came back to their senses.
"Your Highness, the story of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty is really wonderful. If I'm not wrong, the three brothers in the painting are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, right?”The middle-aged general asked excitedly.
"Yes, the world was in chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The heroes rose up and divided the world into three parts.”Li Er sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Before he could finish, he noticed Li Chuan beside him and hurriedly introduced him,
"This young master Li Chuan saved me outside the Black Tortoise Gate. During this period of time, I realized that not only is young master Li Chuan multi-talented, but he's also good at military strategy.”
"Young Master Li Chuan, this is the Left Military Guard General Qin Shubao.”Li Er introduced.
"I am Li Chuan, the Great General of the Left Military Guard.”Li Chuan said with respect.
Perhaps others didn't know, but Li Chuan knew very well that the Left Military Guard General Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao had followed Li Er all his life. He was a fierce general who could take the head of an enemy general in an army of ten thousand horses.
In the early Tang Dynasty, he was one of the top generals.
In comparison, there was a saying of " Guan Yu versus Qin Qiong " in the later generations. From this, one could see Qin Qiong's position on the General Rankings.
"Young Master Li Chuan must be joking. Even His Highness the Crown Prince admires your military strategy. You are the one Qin Qiong admires.”Qin Qiong said straightforwardly.
The Crown Prince?
In the blink of an eye, Li Chuan understood. After the incident at Xuanwu Sect, Li Er was promoted to the Crown Prince. However, he had never called himself " His Highness the Crown Prince."
Of course, Li Chuan still had a question that he couldn't figure out. According to historical records, Qin Qiong also participated in the change of Black Tortoise Sect. Now, it seemed that Qin Qiong's relationship with Li Er was quite good.
From the future rankings of the 24 meritorious officials of the Lingyan Pavilion, Qin Qiong was ranked at the end. Regardless of whether it was a competition of military merits or personal ability, he would not be ranked last.
"Right, Young Master Li Chuan's paintings are really interesting. Even the 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' doesn't have such detailed records.”Li Er asked curiously.
"Your Highness, you might not know, but the young princess is particularly fond of war and history. According to the history books of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I drew the words 'Three Heroes of the Peach Garden Sworn to Slay the Yellow Turban Hero's Head to Make Meritorious Acts'.”Li Chuan pointed at the painting and said with a smile.
"Good painting. I have never seen such a painting before. The battlefield in the painting has the sound of war drums shaking the sky. The spirit of the generals charging into the battlefield is clearly visible.”Li Er immediately praised.
"If this painting were to be circulated and seen by the martial arts practitioners of the Great Tang and the soldiers in the camp, what would happen?”Qin Qiong laughed loudly as well.
"Dad, Uncle, Brother just said that as long as Lizhi is patient enough to learn how to draw, Brother will continue to draw from the end tomorrow.”The young princess said in a childish voice.
"Good, good, good. Father will come over tomorrow and look at brother's painting with Lizhi.”Li Er put the young princess on his lap and said with a smile.
"Such an interesting painting, Qin Qiong would also like to admire it tomorrow. I hope Young Master can agree.”Qin Qiong looked at Li Chuan and asked in a questioning tone.
"General, you are naturally welcome to come and see the painting.”Li Chuan said loudly.
Not long after, the two princesses went back for dinner at the call of Consort Qin.
Li Er and Qin Qiong started to talk about the border defense.
"The Great Tang has just been pacified, and Liang Shidu is entrenched in the east, the Tubo in the west, and the Eastern and Western Turks in the north. A war on the border is likely to break out at any moment.”Li Er said worriedly.
"Great Tang's state is of utmost importance. Qin Qiong is willing to obey the Crown Prince's orders.”Qin Qiong cupped his hands.
"Oh right, what do you think, young master Li Chuan?”Li Er saw that Li Chuan was deep in thought and asked curiously.
Li Chuan thought about the situation in the early Tang Dynasty recorded in history. It was really not optimistic, so he said bluntly,
"Ever since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world has been in chaos. China has been divided by civil war, and the Turks have taken advantage of this opportunity to strengthen themselves. The Eastern Turks are extremely powerful, and they now have millions of people under their command.”
"Young Master's words are not false. Our Great Tang raised an army from Jinyang and was worried about being attacked from both sides, so we befriended the Turks as a delaying tactic. The Khitans, Shiwei, Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, and other countries all respect the Eastern Turks.”Li Er asserted,
"The Turks are bound to become a formidable enemy of the Great Tang.”
"Mobilize the army and use Chang 'an as the center to prevent the Turkic army from invading.”Li Chuan hit the nail on the head. He had wanted Li Er to send out his troops and strike first, but the situation in the Great Tang did not allow it.
Li Er and Qin Qiong both quivered when they heard this.
They knew that according to the Turks 'habit of betraying their trust, Li Chuan's prediction was very likely to happen.
The more Qin Qiong thought about it, the more shocked he felt.
A young man in his teens actually had such profound insight. Li Chuan's words of " Li Chuan is good at military strategy " was definitely not a joke.
