After Meng Li understood, he returned to his residence and practiced training as well as training soldiers.
The barbarians came with troops, but failed to enter the city to rob anything. The food they prepared was limited, and they would definitely not continue to spend it with them outside.
So it won't be long before they will definitely raise troops to attack again.
When training the soldiers, Meng Li planned to teach them how to form formations, but Lieutenant General Li had a disagreement with Meng Li.
He said:
"General, we only need to guard the border, and the barbarians are good at fighting immediately. The disadvantage of our formation is obvious."
Immediately, his voice became softer, and he muttered in a low voice:
"If you have this time, you might as well practice archery."
Meng Li looked at Vice General Li:
"You can fight immediately or form a formation. You must fight in a structured manner. If there is no structure and chaos, it is easy to be beaten by the enemy."
"We soldiers are not good at fighting immediately, and you still have to form a formation..."
Vice General Li stared at Meng Li dissatisfied.
General Liu quickly smoothed things over:
"Two generals, let's stop arguing. Lieutenant General Li, why not take a look at the formation of the lone general first?"
Vice General Li stared:
"It's already urgent, but it's a waste of time."
Meng Li looked at Vice General Li:
"Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"This general is the supreme commander, and military orders are like mountains, don't you understand?"
Lieutenant General Li choked, looking at Meng Li's sharp eyes, he felt a little scared in his heart, and then thought, what are you afraid of
When he came, what the emperor said implicitly was that if the imperial master was not good enough, let him make the decision.
He also started from the overall situation.
Feeling at ease, he said:
"I am dissatisfied, general. The battlefield is not a child's play. It is about the lives of soldiers and the safety of the people. The general has never fought in a war, so it is inevitable for the general to be worried."
Meng Li sneered.
They glanced at Vice General Li and then at the soldiers below. They looked at Vice General Li and seemed to think that what Vice General Li said was reasonable.
Vice Admiral Li had not won many battles, but Meng Li did not want to expose his shortcomings.
But today, Vice General Li has given her the opportunity to establish his authority, so she doesn't have to say anything.
It would also be a good idea for these soldiers to see that she was not the weak woman they thought she was.
She said to Vice General Li:
"If you don't accept it today, why don't you compete with me in front of so many soldiers? If I lose, I will write a letter to your Majesty to resign as general and assist you at the border."
Vice General Li looked at Meng Li's provocative eyes and became even more unconvinced.
He snorted:
"You're a woman, no matter what I do to you, even if I defeat you, I won't be able to defeat you with force."
Meng Li curled his lips:
"Could it be that Vice General Li doesn't dare?"
"Who wouldn't dare?"
Lieutenant General Li immediately retorted, and the provoking method was very useful to him.
If he doesn't fight, he won't dare. If he fights, he won't be able to win. It's simply...!
Meng Li smiled:
"I think you just don't dare."
General Liu wiped his sweat aside, looked at Meng Li, and then at Vice General Li:
"Two generals, this..."
"Vice General Li, please admit your mistake to the general."
After much deliberation, he decided to persuade Vice General Li.
Vice General Li said:
"Huh, I'm right."
After thinking about it:
"Just hit me, I've offended you."
He cupped his fists at Meng Li.
Since she came to her door and wanted to lose all face, he would make it happen for her.
Leading troops to fight is no child's play. Instead of being blamed by her then, it is better to resolve the matter now.
Meng Li:
"Well."
After that, the two agreed on three competitions. The first one was a martial arts competition, the second one was an archery competition, and the third one was each leading a team of soldiers to conduct exercises. Whoever leads the team that wins wins.
Meng Li said:
"Whenever I lose a game, I will write a letter to the Emperor stating the reasons."
Meng Li cupped his hands in the direction of the emperor.
"Okay, the last general is not coveting the general's leadership position. When the time comes, he will also write to the Holy One and ask the Holy One to send a suitable general to lead the army." Vice General Li said.
General Liu sighed on the side.
Why bother.
This makes it difficult for one person to get off the stage, but the two of them have made an agreement and he can't change it.
The soldiers below were whispering to each other.
"Who do you think wins and who loses?"
"It goes without saying that the National Master looks delicate and soft, and Vice General Li looks tall and powerful. Vice General Li will definitely win."
"But it seems that the Imperial Master is quite confident."
"I don't know that anymore."
“…”
While the soldiers were talking, the competition between Meng Li and Vice General Li had already begun.
The first competition is a martial arts competition. It can be said that it is very easy for Meng Li to defeat Vice Admiral Li.
But in order to save some face for Vice General Li, I had to deal with him for more than a quarter of an hour before defeating him.
To avoid being defeated by her right from the start, it would be really embarrassing and exaggerated.
The soldiers below were stunned.
this…
General Liu's eyes also widened. He was close and could clearly see every move of the Imperial Master. They seemed very simple, but also seemed very difficult.
can't read…
Vice Admiral Li was also stunned. When Meng Li pointed his sword at his neck, he truly felt that he had lost.
If this was an enemy army, then the head on his neck might have been taken away by the enemy and recorded as military equipment.
Meng Li put away his sword, cupped his hands in front of Vice General Li and said:
"Vice General Li, because the competition has to be decided by points, I have to do this. I offend you so much, and I hope you can forgive me."
Lieutenant General Li stood up and glanced at the dark surroundings. His face was red, feeling embarrassed and a little ashamed.
I glanced at the other person's sincere face, showing no pride or disdain. I apologized to him and didn't take the opportunity to humiliate him. This kind of magnanimity...
good
It doesn't feel so embarrassing.
However, leading troops in war cannot rely on the strength of just one person. No matter how powerful one person is, can he defeat the enemy's thousands of troops
He is a good general if he is better than him in personal force and does not express himself.
Immediately, the two engaged in a second shooting session.
Every arrow of Meng Li hit the target. There was no suspense. Vice General Li lost again.
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Is this still a woman
She looks weak and weak, but she is better at fighting and shooting than men. Aren't all the national masters pampered and pampered? How could this happen
Or do you mean that all national teachers have to know these things
Is it too difficult to be a national teacher
So demanding
Lieutenant General Li was a little tired. He didn't know why this happened.
Could it be that all the shooting he has practiced hard every day since childhood was fake
He began to place his hopes on the third game. The opponent said that if he lost one game, he would resign.
This third game requires preparation. Both sides need to spend two hours training their soldiers.
A hundred soldiers per person.
Meng Li looked at the hundreds of soldiers. They all looked at him with curious or complicated eyes and smiled:
"You listen to me, I will definitely let you win. When the time comes, I will treat you to wine and meat."
The soldiers' eyes brightened when they heard about drinking and eating meat. They thought that Meng Li had already won two games before, and it should be possible to win another one.
If you win, you can brag about it for a while.
They shouted:
"The general has an order, and no one dares to disobey it."
