At Zhang Baogui's residence, Xue Rengui and Tian An accompanied Zhang Baogui to drink and chat.

Zhang Baogui asked: "What happened in Chang'an? Why did Brother You come to Shengzhou?"

Xue Rengui and Tian An are both cautious people, but they also know the relationship between Zhang Baogui and Li You. Tian An said, "Mr. Zhang, you have asked the point. The prince is a talented man. How many things are waiting for him to do in the court? He left Chang'an for His Royal Highness."

Zhang Baogui stared at him and asked, "Brother You are wholeheartedly devoted to him, what's wrong with him?" He was a little anxious when he heard that Li You left Chang'an for Li Chengqian.

Tian An said to Xue Rengui, "General Xue, let's talk about it." He was a little scared when he saw Zhang Baogui's appearance.

Xue Rengui said: "Young Master Zhang, don't worry, this is the case..."

Li You really supported Li Chengqian wholeheartedly. He not only gave all the credit for the military system reform to Li Chengqian, but also pushed Li Chengqian forward as much as possible in other matters.

However, Li You's light cannot be hidden. No matter how low-key Li You is, Li Chengqian still feels a lot of pressure. In the past, Li Chengqian was used to Li You's support for him and did not care about Li You's talent revealed. However, as he grew up day by day, he began to feel the pressure from Li You.

Li Chengqian also sincerely trusts Li You, but there are a large number of people around him. These people are worried that Li You's light will overshadow Li Chengqian, which will affect Li Chengqian's future and the future of them. Therefore, they are a little afraid of Li You's performance of being overwhelmed by his great achievements.

Li You was just thinking about being a comfortable foodie. He was very cautious in dealing with his relationship with Li Chengqian. He felt a little uneasy, so he asked Li Shimin to go to Shengzhou and concentrate on dealing with the matter on the grassland. As a result, Li Shimin disagreed, and Li Chengqian tried his best to keep him. Li You had no choice but to stay.

After the military system reform began, the court established the General Staff Department, Li Jing served as the Chief of General Staff, Hou Junji served as the Deputy Chief of General Staff, Cheng Yaojin served as the Minister of Training, Li Shimin's cousin Li Xiaogong served as the Dean of the Military Academy, and Li Daozong served as the Logistics Minister affiliated to the General Staff Department. Liu Rengui served as the Minister of the Navy, and Xue Rengui served as the Director of the First Office of the Operations Department.

The functions of the Ministry of War have changed. They no longer directly manage the troops and have become a coordination agency.

After the establishment of the General Staff, the Tang Army established five general marching road administrations in addition to retaining the border guards, and established the prefectures of Chang'an, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and Guizhou, with a total force of 600,000.

The navy was strengthened and renamed the Tang Navy, and was organized into the North Sea, East Sea and South Sea Fleets. The Inland River Navy was placed under the jurisdiction of the local major marching road general offices.

The special forces team had outstanding achievements. Li Shimin gave the name "Flying Tiger Army" and expanded it into four armies with 12,000 people. Li Chengqian was appointed as the general manager, Zhang Baogui was appointed as the deputy general manager, Zhou Qing, Hou Cheng, Qualcomm and Li Dezhi, the commander of the Eastern Palace Guard, were appointed as military envoys.

In order to consolidate Li Chengqian's position, Li You recommended Li Chengqian to take charge of the "Flying Tiger Army". Li Chengqian finally took charge of the military power directly. He was very happy and confident to take office.

However, the problem lies here.

The Flying Tiger Army was stationed in Chang'an New City. It was well-fed and well-behaved. It was also the direct descendant of His Royal Highness, so the nobles in Chang'an were sharpened and drilled in. The royal relatives, all kinds of nobles and civil and military ministers found Li Chengqian and asked him to arrange his own nephews. Zhang Xuansu and other aides thought this was a good opportunity to win people's hearts, so he suggested that Li Chengqian give the green light to those who pleaded with love, so a large number of playboys entered the "Flying Tiger Army".

At the beginning, Li Chengqian maintained a great enthusiasm and went to the barracks every day, but he had too much work and gradually he rarely went to the barracks.

At this time, Zhang Baogui, Hou Cheng and Qualcomm were not in the "Flying Tiger Army", and Li You was not inconvenient to interfere in the affairs of the "Flying Tiger Army". Other officers, including Zhou Qing, could not control the playboys at all, so the barracks became vegetable markets and slums. The soldiers were listless when they were trained, and they usually drank, gambling and fought in the barracks, which was in chaos.

After hearing about this, Li Chengqian went there several times. The soldiers were honest for a few days for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince and soon returned to their original state. Later, even when Li Chengqian came, everyone would fool him. As soon as he left, there would be noisy behind him.

On that day, Li Ke and Quan Wanji were wandering around the horse market and saw a man selling horses. He knew this man Chang Kuan, the son of Chang He, the Jinwu Guard Zhonglang General Chang He.

Chang He was the closest person of Li Shimin's former Qin Prince's Mansion. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he opened the Xuanwu Gate and let Li Shimin and others go in to ambush, and blocked the retreat of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. He was one of Li Shimin's confidant generals. Li Ke heard that Chang He's son Chang Kuan entered the "Flying Tiger Army", and at this moment, he was a little curious when he saw him selling horses here.

Li Ke signaled Quan Wanji to quietly inquire about the news.

Soon, Quan Wanji came back, and he said angrily: "Your Highness, Chang Kuan is really too much. He actually stole the war horses of the 'Flying Tiger Army'." He just went to see the war horses sold by Chang Kuan, with the mark of the "Flying Tiger Army" on them.

Li Ke said with some confusion: "The war horses are marked as 'Flying Tiger Army', why dare that person buys it?"

Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness doesn't know that anyone who steals military horses is very cheap. When the horse buys the horses go back, they will rebrand the marks on the horses and use a soldering iron to cover up the previous marks."

"So that's it. I really don't know how Li Chengqian managed the 'Flying Tiger Army'." Li Ke said.

"Your Highness, I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Quan Wanji said.

Li Ke said: "But it's okay."

Quan Wanji said: "His Highness of the King of Qi is dedicated to assisting the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince's talent is really unbearable, and His Highness of the King of Qi has no intention of competing for that position. His Highness still has a great chance."

For a long time, Li Ke saw that Li You strongly supported Li Chengqian, and he was already disheartened about the position of crown prince. At this moment, Quan Wanji's words made him excited and he couldn't help but feel determined to win again.

He said: "Master Quan, what do you think the matter in front of you should deal with?"

Quan Wanji said, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me."

Not long after, Wei Zheng appeared in the military camp of the "Flying Tiger Army", and soon he found out the whole story.

It turned out that Chang Kuan was interested in gambling. He lost all the military pay and the money he received from his family, and owed a lot of debts. In order to pay off the debt, he had the idea of ​​"Flying Tiger Army" military horses.
