After eating, Wei Feiyan and Nangong Luo helped him change the herbs on his body and re-bandage his wounds before leaving the Marquis of Champions 'Residence.
Li Er asked him to go to the various armies to select troops and train a group of elite soldiers.
However, Li Yuansheng did not go directly to the yamen of the Sixteenth Guard. Instead, he went straight to the residence of Great General Li Jing.
Walking into the residence, Li Jing was practicing his martial arts, his spear dancing in the air.
To Li Yuansheng's surprise, there was also a handsome female general who was also practicing with Li Jing. Moreover, it seemed that she had inherited some of Li Jing's spear techniques.
"This old man's mediocre martial arts have made the Marquis Champion laugh.”
After Li Jing finished his practice, he put away his spear and cupped his hands at Li Yuansheng.
When the female general heard the words "Marquis Champion", her eyes lit up and she looked at Li Yuansheng.
"General Li is too humble. This spear technique is very extraordinary. It must have been passed down by an expert.”
Li Yuansheng had gathered the martial arts of many top-notch experts into his body. His vision was extremely high. He could see the subtlety of Li Jing's spear technique at a glance.
However, Li Jing must have started practicing when he was older and was limited by his body.
He was far from being able to unleash the full power of this spear technique.
Li Jing gave him a thumbs up.
"Marquis Champion has good eyes."
He turned around and pointed at the female general beside him.
"This is my daughter, Li Ying Ge. She has loved to play with guns and sticks since she was young.”
So it was her!
Li Ying Ge's eyes were constantly on Li Yuan Sheng.
When she heard Li Jing talking about her, she quickly calmed herself down and bowed to Li Yuansheng.
"My daughter Ying Ge greets Marquis Champion.”
"There's no need to be so polite." Li Yuansheng slightly bowed and returned the greeting.
"Ying Ge, you can leave first. Father and the Marquis Champion have something important to discuss.”
Hearing this, Li Ying Ge nodded and left.
Before he left, he stole a glance at Li Yuansheng, and a red flush appeared on his cheeks.
"The Marquis Champion is here to select troops and train elite soldiers, right?”
Li Jingfang asked after everyone had left.
To train an elite army to deal with the Turks.
Li Jing was the one who suggested this, so he naturally knew about it.
Li Yuansheng nodded and cupped his hands.
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance if I want to transfer elite soldiers from the various armies. I'll have to ask General Li for help.”
Although Li Er had given Li Yuansheng an imperial edict, giving him the ability to mobilize troops from various armies at will, Li Yuansheng was still in a daze.
But Li Yuansheng knew very well that if he really wanted to transfer elites from the various armies, the resistance would not be small.
This was very obvious.
Which general would be willing to transfer their most valiant and outstanding soldiers to someone else's army?
It was obvious that no one would be willing.
It was like cutting a piece of flesh from the hearts of those generals.
Although Li Yuansheng had made great contributions, he had just been promoted to Marquis Champion. He was only a new noble of the court and had no foundation in the Tang army.
If those generals did not cooperate, even if Li Yuansheng had the imperial edict, he would only be able to mobilize second-class troops.
Therefore, when Li Yuansheng received the imperial edict, he first came to look for Li Jing.
After all, Li Jing had led the army for many years and had high prestige in the Tang army. With him taking action, no one dared to object.
Hearing Li Yuansheng's words, Li Jing gave him an appreciative look.
"Not bad. The Marquis Champion is so young, yet he has such knowledge. To be able to understand the depths of this, he is indeed a young hero.”
Li Jing thought that Li Yuansheng would go to the army to pick a candidate first, and only come back to find him after getting a nose full of dust.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuansheng came to find him first.
It seemed that not only was this young man skilled in martial arts, but his intelligence was also extraordinary.
"Pacifying the Turks is also my lifelong wish.”
"Don't worry, Marquis Champion. Just go to the army and pick people. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just come find me. A bunch of little brats, I can still suppress them!”
At this point, Li Jing suddenly released a domineering aura that only belonged to a peerless general.
Hearing Li Jing's assurance, Li Yuansheng was relieved.
With the cooperation of this big shot in the military, things should be much easier.
"Then this junior will thank General Li in advance.”
Li Yuansheng bowed.
"This is all part of this old man's duty, there is no need to thank me.”
"This old man would like to know how the Marquis Champion is going to select his troops and train them.”
Although Li Jing had recommended Li Er to let Li Yuansheng train this group of people.
However, this matter was too important, and Li Yuansheng was too young. Li Jing was still a little worried.
Li Yuansheng smiled indifferently, but he did not answer Li Jing's question directly. Instead, he changed the topic.
"Regarding the selection of troops and the training of elites, I will need to ask General Li to lend me someone.”
Li Jing was stunned.
"Who is it?"
"General Li's last disciple, Su Dingfang.”
Su Dingfang was badly slandered in the novel.
However, Li Yuansheng was very clear that Su Dingfang was a famous general in history.
A strange look flashed across Li Jing's eyes.
At this time, Su Dingfang's reputation was still unknown. He did not expect that Li Yuansheng actually knew him.
Su Dingfang had been idle at home until recently when Li Jing recommended him to the Imperial Court.
Li Jing had arranged for Su Dingfang to take up an official position. He had not yet taken up his post and was currently staying in the Li Residence.
"Alright, then I'll lend him to you.”
