Dongting Lake has 800 miles of water and rich resources. It was called the hometown of fish and rice in later generations. As long as the place is developed well, the tax revenue of Dongting Lake alone will be enough for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a good place, naturally, someone will look at it. Even though he had asked Li Xiaogong to go, many people still wanted to go through his relationship.

Generals such as Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing came to visit one after another. Everyone wanted to go to Dongting Lake to train troops, which was definitely a small margin.

"Uncles and uncles, although Dongting Lake is good, it is not a place for military generals. Even if the income is good, most of them have to be handed over to the national treasury. Why bother to come!"

Looking at the arrival of these people, Xiao Zheng was amused and cried, and persuaded him with great thought.

"Your Highness, we all understand what you said. We are our own people. Such good things must not be favored by outsiders, right?"

The benefits of Dongting Lake can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, otherwise they would not be able to come here with a gaze.

Dongting Lake is a treasure land, and there will definitely be unexpected gains when used for training troops. The most important thing is that the environment there is much stronger than the frontier.

They are all for generals. They are already tired of the harsh environment on the border. If they can cultivate and rest in another place, it is also a good choice. Of course, they also have their own selfish intentions.

"Uncle Cheng is right. In the Dongting language, my nephew still thinks it is a good place. It has rich land resources, so it is definitely the best choice to use it to open up wastelands and garrison troops.

If you throw it out of the treasury, there will definitely be no benefits there, and my nephew is telling the truth."

Xiao Zhengtai shrugged helplessly, knowing that it is absolutely impossible for them to count on the Dongting land to provide the food needed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, we all understand what you said, but someone will have to go there, right!"

Cheng Yaojin said stubbornly with his neck. Although Xiao Zhengtai said it easily, everyone present was all human beings, so he would not give up easily.

"Yes, my father has sent Lord Li to Dongting Lake to train troops. I believe you should know that, but there is another team in the Tang Dynasty suitable for clearing the land there."

Xiao Zhengtai said helplessly that he already had a choice and must be able to dispel their thoughts.

"who?"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they hurriedly asked.

"After the last time the Turks was encircled and suppressed, the Leopard Cavalry suffered heavy losses, but there were still many soldiers, so the prince planned to send them to."

Xiao Zheng was speechless. What's the best place? Why do these old guys look at it there?

Everyone was a little confused. You should know that this group of soldiers had followed Hou Junji in the past, and Xiao Zhengtai just let them go so recklessly. Isn’t it too much to be happy?

Everyone knows what the two of them had to do at the beginning, and many people even think that Hou Junji's death in battle was done by Xiao Zhengtai.

When he heard such words, not only did these old guys have such expressions, but even Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo who had been following Xiao Zhengtai, he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

However, no one raised any questions. Since His Royal Highness, if he did not intend to let them go, he could only stand up and say goodbye.

"Your Highness, are you confused? How can you let those guys go?"

After the old guys left, Cheng Chumo hurried over and said anxiously.

Hou Junji's subordinates, but there were many dead soldiers. If they were not under His Majesty's restraint, God would know if they would do anything that would be unfavorable to His Highness.

"It's all my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. Why can't I send them to me? It's true that they followed Hou Junji in the past, but don't forget that they are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It's the Tang Dynasty that trained them, not Hou Junji that trained them.

In this life, they can only be soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, not servants of his Hou Junji."

Xiao Zhengtai naturally understood what he meant and waved his hand to interrupt him. He believed that his vision would not be wrong.

"Besides, although they were sent here this time, I will let you be the commander. If you are there, those guys who are not open to their eyes will not make any waves."

Before Cheng Chumo could continue to defend himself, Xiao Zhengtai directly turned his eyes on him. When he attacked the Turks last time, he discovered that Hou Junji's men had a few foolish people, but with his identity, he was not too careful to argue with them.

"What? Let me lead my troops there? No...No..."

Cheng Chumo never dreamed that he just came to persuade His Highness to take him in.

Besides, it was a military surnamed Hou. He belonged to the old Cheng family. The older generation looked at each other and God knew what would happen to him in the past.

This is what Cheng Chumo dared to talk to Xiao Zhengtai, and if anyone else had to jump up and accept such kindness.

The followers around His Highness were promoted to the general at once. This was a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, but Cheng Chumo refused without any hesitation.

"Brother Chumo, didn't I just say that it was the army of the Tang Dynasty, not the private servant of his Hou Junji. What else do you have to worry about?"

Xiao Zhengtai naturally knew what he was thinking. This kid followed him for so long, and he couldn't hide what he had in his mind.

"Your Highness, do you have to ask me to go? But I really just want to be by your side."

Cheng Chumo also knew that once Xiao Zhengtai issued an order, there was basically no possibility of change. He could only look at him eagerly, hoping that he would take back his life.

"Brother Chumo, the reason why I sent you there is also my own selfishness. As a general, you still have many shortcomings in your performance on the battlefield.

For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I sent you there. You are my confidant. There is no doubt about this.

But when you go to the battlefield, you have been following the orders of this prince. For example, if you don’t have the command of this prince on the sidelines, can you complete the task successfully?

The Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and peaceful, but who can guarantee when the next battle will begin?

I'm already sitting in this position and it's impossible to command battles on the battlefield forever. If I'm not here, how should I fight the next battle?

If you win, the entire Tang Dynasty is proud of you. If you lose, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. Therefore, this prince asked you to go there to help you get along well with the soldiers.

If they truly become the patron saints of the Tang Dynasty, the airborne general will definitely not convince them. As for how to gain their recognition, this prince will not give you guidance.

As a general, you should know what it means if there are soldiers who are in charge and don’t obey orders, so I don’t have to say it! Hou Junji’s fate is the best case.”

Xiao Zhengtai said earnestly that the ten thousand soldiers who followed him through life and death would not treat anyone unfairly.

Even if he dies, he will keep their reputation in history. The living brothers will inevitably be named as generals because of him. These are the rewards they deserve after their efforts for the Tang Dynasty.
