Li Ke has a good impression of Li Mengchang, and this time he is ruthless in reprimanding Li Mengchang.

Just as he said, there were many generals with thoughts like Li Mengchang in the Tang Dynasty, and they had developed a deep fear of the Turks from the bottom of their hearts. However, Li Ke understood that blindly avoiding nomadic peoples like the Turks would only increase their arrogance. They would not respect you because of your kindness. If you retreat one foot, they would go one foot. Therefore, Li Ke believed that when dealing with the Turks, you should fight blood for blood and teeth for teeth when necessary.

Therefore, the purpose of Li Ke's merciless rebuke of Li Mengchang was to make him wake up from this ignorant thought. Li Ke admired Li Mengchang very much, because of this, he did not want the generals around him to appear so cowardly when facing the Turks.

"Your Highness - the last general" Li Ke interrupted Li Mengchang's words again. He glanced at Li Mengchang with a cold look, then stared at Sun Erlang, and angrily scolded, "Think about how much blood of the Han people are stained on your hands, think about how many Turkic people you have killed with your own hands? Your hands are not soft at all, and you kill without blinking; you don't feel afraid of your own people, and your sword is flying and blood flowing into a river; why do you become cowards when you meet Turkic people, look forward to the front and back, and be afraid of wolf in front and tiger in the back!" Li Ke became more angry and his voice became louder. At the end, he roared louder, "Are the Turkic people tigers and leopards or jackals, are the Turkic people vicious gods or evil spirits, so that you have no dignity of a man in front of them?"

"Puch." Li Mengchang suddenly knelt down and shouted with a sob, "Your Highness—I just heard your highness say that made me wake up like a dream. Mo Jiang suddenly realized that I did a mistake. Mo Jiang begged your Highness to allow me to send troops to Mobei with the Ghost Face Cavalry this time."

"Your Highness——" Sun Erlang also knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said earnestly, "Your Highness also allows Mo to follow the Ghost Face Cavalry to send troops to Mobei."

"Well, you have such awareness and determination. I am very pleased that if I stop you, I will seem stingy. Go back and prepare to hand over the left and right camps to the deputy generals of the camp. We will set off at Wu o'clock tomorrow evening." Li Ke's goal was achieved and he said with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Mengchang and Sun Erlang thanked excitedly.

"Dingfang, you should prepare immediately when you go back. Be sure to set off on time at Wushi tomorrow." Li Ke ordered.

"I will obey the order." Su Dingfang replied strongly.

"Well, then you go back and prepare!" Li Ke said, and then he walked out of the military camp and returned to the Governor's Mansion under the escort of the Black Guard. Back in the Governor's Mansion, Li Ke took off his armor under Lan'er's service, sat on the collapse after taking a shower and changing clothes, sighing, "It's still comfortable to wear casual clothes. Armor is really not something that people can wear. I really admire those soldiers who wear military uniforms all year round in the military camp. In the evening, when Li Ke was having dinner, Su Dingfang and Guo Shifeng asked for a meeting, and he recruited the two to the living room to have dinner with him.

Guo Shifeng's impression of Li Ke originated from the banquet at the governor's office and the commander's tent in the Right Army camp. Li Ke gave him the impression that he was decisive and acted decisively, so he seemed very restrained at the dinner table, unlike Su Dingfang who often ate with Li Ke and had already been used to Li Ke's hospitality. Li Ke knew that Guo Shifeng was eating with him for the first time and was very hospitable to him. He picked up food and toasted him, which shocked Guo Shifeng, and at the same time, his view of Li Ke had greatly improved.

After dinner, Li Ke and the other two came to the study to sit down, "I don't want to be too arrogant when I attack the Turks this time, so I decided to rest during the day and march at night. You two are the commander and deputy generals of this marching. What are your good ideas and opinions on this attack?"

"Your Highness, the Ghost Face Rider has only been formed for two months and has not been trained in night marching. Finally, I believe that if they are allowed to march at night, it will probably affect our speed. The situation of soldiers exhaustion may not be conducive to our attack on the Turks." Guo Shifeng expressed his concerns.

"If you haven't trained, it doesn't mean you can't try it?" Li Ke looked at Guo Shifeng with a cold look and asked, "My Ghost Face Rider is used to kill enemies on the battlefield to defend the country and pacify the world, not to scare the people of the Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan Prefecture. Therefore, I want you to understand that there is no real iron army that can be defeated in every battle without being baptized by war. You must also know that the Ghost Face Rider I want is not a group of sheep, sheep with glamorous skin but no ability to kill; but to let him

We became a group of devils, sweeping across thousands of troops like devils." At this point, Li Ke looked at Guo Shifeng, whose face turned a little pale, and continued, "I can agree to your request to let you go to the Ghost Face Rider. What I value is not how strong you are, but the bloody feeling on your body, the ruthlessness of being able to meet ghosts and kill ghosts and encounter gods and kill gods. Guo Shifeng, I handed over five thousand Ghost Face Riders to you, and gave you great expectations. I hope you will not let me down."

Li Ke ordered Su Dingfang to bring Guo Shifeng to the Governor's Office on time when he was about to have a meal. His purpose was to conquer him for his own use. Through Su Dingfang's observation for two months, Guo Shifeng's ability to lead the army was unquestionable, and he had a sense of fierceness and bloodiness on his body. Li Ke naturally would not let such a talent go. Therefore, he appointed Guo Shifeng as the deputy general of the Ghost Face Cavalry and told him what he said just now, with the purpose of treating him with sincerity and taking him for himself.

Guo Shifeng was shocked by Li Ke's words, his face was a little pale. Li Ke's bloody reprimand was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, making him unable to breathe for a long time. "The ghost face rider I want is not a group of sheep but a group of devils, sweeping across thousands of troops like a mattress." Li Ke's domineering words lingered in Guo Shifeng's mind, leaving his mind blank.

Devil, what is a devil? A murderer who kills people without blinking and regards life as grass is called a devil; a butcher who kills ghosts and gods can be called a devil, Guo Shifeng dares not think further, because he could not think about it because at this time he already knew what kind of cavalry the ghost face cavalry that Li Ke wanted was, and the ghost face cavalry that he wanted was just an inhuman butcher-style cavalry with discipline and skills and strength.

"Do you know why I decided to send troops to attack the Turks? Many people, including you, think that I am for war horses." Li Ke did not give Guo Shifeng a chance to breathe, and continued. "But I will tell you clearly now that it is difficult for me to fight five thousand war horses, so I will not let my soldiers attack the Turks with dangerous moves. The reason why I raided the Turks was to train troops, just like this night march, through fighting against the Turks, they trained them into real ghost face cavalry-devil cavalry."

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he saw Guo Shifeng being stunned and stopped Su Dingfang from waking him up. "Dingfang, let him think quietly by himself. I know he will not refuse." Li Ke said domineeringly, "Because he is a natural soldier, he has the ruthlessness on his body, he is a bloody young man, he wants to prove himself with his merits on the battlefield."

Indeed, Li Ke’s words were not wrong at all. He knew Guo Shifeng very well.

At this time, Guo Shifeng was in pain, and he was struggling in the contradiction. Indeed, his greatest ideal was to gallop on the battlefield and conquer the world. Therefore, he liked Li Ke's domineering aura and felt that being able to serve him was his wisest choice; and he did not refuse to kill, and he liked to kill enemies on the battlefield and prove his strength with the blood of the enemy. Similarly, he was extremely painful in his heart, which made him train a group of soldiers to be inhumane butchers, which made them lose their humanity and made them become unsensual killing machines. He always felt unbearable in his heart.

Most of life are single choices. Two choices, you choose one means giving up the other; three choices, you choose one means giving up the other two, the more choices, the more you lose, the more painful it is! At this time, Guo Shifeng's pain lies in his choice between ideals and human nature. If he chooses the ideal in his heart, he will become the deputy general of the Ghost Face Rider under Li Ke. At the same time, he knows that Su Dingfang has the talent of a general, and Li Ke will never let him be the main general of the Ghost Face Rider. Therefore, if he becomes the deputy general of the Ghost Face Rider, it is equivalent to the main general of the Ghost Face Rider being able to lead the Ghost Face Rider to fight on the battlefield and realize his wishes; if he chooses human nature, it means that he must withdraw from the Ghost Face Rider, because the Ghost Face Rider does not need a commander like him who is compassionate.

Li Ke and Su Dingfang did not say anything, but just looked at Guo Shifeng who was struggling in pain with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Guo Shifeng opened his eyes and saw a terrifying light flashing in his eyes. However, the light shot into Li Ke's eyes, and his face was filled with a smile, because he had already obtained the answer he wanted from Guo Shifeng's eyes.

"Your Highness - serving is a blessing for serving. I have been wasting my years here. I have only been wasting my time for several decades. Today, my highness's words made the service suddenly open. Thank you for your service. "Shi Feng made a decision in his heart. He opened his eyes and saw Li Ke staring at him. He knelt down and said sincerely in front of Li Ke, "Please rest assured that your highness will remember his teachings and service to me just now. From now on, the service will turn the Ghost Face Rider into a devil cavalry that swept thousands of troops and horses, and will never let down His Highness's expectations for service."

"I will know that you will not disappoint me." Li Ke stepped forward and helped Guo Shifeng up, glanced at the map on the table, and said to the two, "You know the purpose of my army this time, so you should know how to formulate a marching route. I still said the same thing. I don't want to be too arrogant when I attack the Turks this time, so I can't afford to lose weight, so I can only rest during the day and march at night."

"No." Su Dingfang and Guo Shifeng said.

Li Ke handed over the formulation of this marching route to Su Dingfang and Guo Shifeng. The purpose of Su Dingfang helps him train Guo Shifeng. Although Guo Shifeng has excellent talents in all aspects, he has shallow military qualifications and poor practical ability, which is the time to focus on cultivating him. Therefore, Li Ke believes that since he wants to cultivate military talents, why should he intervene with a talent like Su Dingfang? Another important reason is that he believes that he still has a lot of things to do, and he cannot do everything himself and experience it himself. Since he has such talents under his command, why should he waste their talents?
