Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 751 The Qiu Brothers Determined to Win

The emperor felt suffocated staying in the palace all the time.

Of course he cares about the training results, but this is also an excuse for him to go out and relax.

There's no better excuse than to review the military.

The emperor's personal presence was exactly what Qiao Jian'er wanted, but she immediately thought that the emperor was bored.

Therefore, Tianhe Province must perform better to give the emperor a fresh and happy experience.

Qiao Jianer went to the Tianhezhou headquarters and summoned Pei Qingrong and several generals.

As the competition approached, the generals became more and more nervous and trained until night every day.

Everyone is well aware of the situation in Tianhe Province. It always ranks last every year. This year, with so many new formations, morale has been boosted. Naturally, they want to hold their heads high and avenge their previous humiliation.

Therefore, everyone pushed themselves very hard, their faces became much darker, and they became thinner. No matter how well they ate, they could not withstand such consumption.

"I have an announcement for everyone." Qiao Jian'er took a sip of tea and said, "The Emperor will personally inspect this year's training competition. The location will be the training ground in Longzhou as usual. This is a rare opportunity for everyone. Please seize it and at least leave a good impression on the Emperor."

"What? The emperor is coming to watch the competition too." Liang Heda exclaimed in surprise.

Li Hai said, "This is the first time in history. We have been generals for many years, but we have never seen the emperor's appearance."

But he had only been here for three months and was about to meet the emperor. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be related to Princess Zhenguo? Was it a blessing to follow Princess Zhenguo?

Wei Shu and Huo Liao also had different expressions on their faces, which was a kind of expectation.

With the emperor in front of him, who wouldn’t want to make their presence felt?

"Princess Zhenguo, don't worry. We will achieve the best training results." Huo Liao said.

"Even if I can't be first, at least I won't be last."

If they had heard such words before, Wei Shu and Li Haidao would have thought it was a fantasy, because they came from Longzhou and knew the gap in strength between the two places, which was like heaven and earth.

But when they arrived in Tianhe Province and saw these novel formations being put into training, the soldiers were in high spirits and their physical fitness continued to improve. Everyone seemed to have been forged of iron and bronze, which greatly enhanced their confidence.

They couldn't wait to see the performance of the Tianhe State Army at the Longzhou training ground.

Qiao Jianer just came to remind everyone that the emperor had already set off, but in order not to alarm those along the way, he did not convey the news in advance.

She went to Longzhou to take a look and saw that the rehearsals were still in the same way as before. Although the brothers Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi were conscientious, they were not in a hurry. They showed a sense of confidence and laziness that they would win.

They completely ignored the armies of other states, let alone Tianhe State.

Although the Qiu Dezhong brothers boasted that Longzhou with 10,000 troops could defeat Tianhezhou with 20,000, it was unrealistic to mobilize the entire army. Longzhou could not afford the food, which was a heavy burden. There were dozens of miles along the way, and a large logistics force was needed to ensure food supply. Once in Longzhou, they had to pay for their own military pay and meals.

Therefore, only 2,000 people were carefully selected from each state.

Of the eight states, two were not allowed to participate due to their relatively long distance, so there were six states participating in the competition.

When the emperor arrived in Longzhou, the Longzhou garrison camp learned that the emperor wanted to watch the competition.

For them, this is a great and exciting thing. Longzhou has always won first place every year. It is a pity that the emperor has not seen it. This year, the emperor can finally see their abilities.

There is also reliable news circulating that in order to cope with the pressure from the Kingdom of Qilu, the imperial court will increase military expenditures in all provinces except Tianhe Province.

Qiu Dezhong shook his head after hearing this: "Tianhe Province is useless. Even the imperial court is unwilling to allocate funds. Judging from this attitude, the imperial court has almost given up on Tianhe Province."

"If Tianhe Province is useful, why would it be given to the Princess Zhenguo?" Qiu Deyi said.

Seeing his two nephews continue to disparage Tianhe Province, Qiu Wutong's face darkened. "That's because the Princess Zhenguo has the money to support the army, so she didn't compete with other provinces. This is magnanimity, not that the Emperor doesn't value it."

The Qiu Dezhong and his brother didn't seem to care.

No matter how rich a person is, if he wants to support an army of 20,000 people and train them into elite soldiers, the investment involved is unimaginable.

The Princess Zhenguo has been able to hold on until now just to prevent Tianhe Province from ranking last in the competition. Now that this goal has been achieved, why would she be willing to spend any more money?

Therefore, it is impossible for her not to care about the court's funding. The reason why she couldn't get it was that the emperor did not have high expectations for Tianhe Province.

They felt that this speculation made sense.

"The competition will be held in two days. You should focus on training. The emperor is coming in person this time, so I will give you two more chances to play. Don't let me down." Qiu Wutong said.

The competition is based on a best-of-three contest out of five. If there is a draw, an additional contest will be added later.

Judging from the attitudes of the two people, he really has some concerns.

However, thinking that Longzhou had won steadily for so many years, it was impossible for it to lose this year, so Qiu Wutong felt relieved again.

The two brothers were in a good mood after hearing this. They also wanted to play more and let Princess Zhenguo and General Pei see their strength and prestige after arriving in Longzhou.

On the day before the competition, armies from various states arrived in Longzhou, with each state sending 2,000 men, for a total of 12,000 men.

Each army provided its own food, drink, tents, and all necessary weapons and equipment.

Just as they were settled, smoke began to rise from the training ground of the Longzhou garrison school.

After so many years of competition, the armies are familiar with each other, the generals comfort each other, and they get together to chat about all sorts of things.

Although everyone has to compete every year to determine the winner, it is only to test the results of a year's training. The ultimate goal is to apply it on the battlefield, serve the Daze State, and protect the country and the people.

Therefore, everyone will not become strangers because of winning or losing.

Qiao Jianer bought dozens of kilograms of Maotai from the space and put them in a large wine jar. He also had someone roast a fat whole lamb and brought it over for the generals to eat and drink.

The generals all stood up and saluted to express their gratitude.

After taking a sip of the wine, their eyes lit up. They were amazed that there was such delicious wine in the world. It was like nectar from heaven. They immediately praised it highly.

Qiu Wutong also came with the two brothers of the Qiu family.

"Everyone seems to be in good spirits." Qiu Wutong greeted everyone.

"General Qiu, two generals, please sit down."

Everyone made room for them.

Qiao Lian'er sat at the top, and Qiu Wutong bowed to her respectfully. However, the brothers Qiu Dezhong showed a hint of reluctance, and did not even look at Pei Qingrong who was a little below her.

The two brothers now exude arrogance from head to toe.

"Let's drink less. After all, we'll be competing in four of the five competitions tomorrow."
