My wife is number one in the world

"Dingbang."

Upon hearing the voice, Duan Dingbang immediately put down the nuts in his hand and bowed respectfully to Young Master Liu.

"The minister is here."

After Liu Mingzhi took a puff of his dry tobacco, he first turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and others, and then glanced at Song Qing, Cheng Kai, Feng Buer, Chu Jing, Han Peng and other generals.

Finally, his gaze slowly fell on young generals such as Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu, and Zhuge Ziqing.

Ge Gonglu, Zhuge Ziqing, Chu Yunhao and others felt Young Master Liu's gaze and quickly put down the nuts or wine glasses in their hands and adjusted their expressions.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the energetic young faces of Duan Dingbang, Ge Yunhao and others, and sighed softly with a sigh.

"Ugh."

"Dingbang, what your two elders said before was correct.

The era of these veterans has passed.

The era that belonged to me, your uncle Song, your uncle Cheng Kai and others is almost over now.

The world from now on will belong to you young people.

As I just said, there are often thousand-year-old trees in the world, but it is rare to find centenarians in the world.

One day, we, the young master, will gradually pass the heavy burdens on our shoulders to you, the younger generations.

After we, the young masters, pass on the responsibility on our shoulders to you, you young people who are full of vigor and vitality must shoulder the heavy burden of the 100,000-mile mountains and rivers of our Great Dragon Dynasty!"

When Young Master Liu said this, he glanced at Ge Gonglu, Zhuge Ziqing, Chu Yunhao and others with a smile.

"My dear ministers, what I just said was not only addressed to Dingbang, but also to you.

In the future, all of you will be the backbone of our Great Dragon Dynasty.

Young men, please don't let me down in the future!"

After Young Master Liu finished speaking with deep emotion, Duan Dingbang made sure that Young Master Liu would not say anything else, and he stood up from his chair.

Immediately, he swung his clothes vigorously, knelt down on one knee in front of Young Master Liu with an expression of respect.

Immediately afterwards, Ge Gonglu, Zhuge Ziqing, Yu Datie, Wang Minghua and others stood up from their chairs and knelt down on one knee in unison towards Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, I, Duan Dingbang, will never let you down even if I die. Long live the emperor."

"Even if we die a thousand times, we will never let down your majesty's high expectations. Long live the emperor."

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and raised his hands.

"No need to be polite, all of it is excused."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Young Master Liu took a puff of his pipe, then leaned over and knocked out the tobacco that was almost burned to the bottom of the pipe.

Then he straightened up and walked towards his chair with a smile on his face.

Young Master Liu stopped steadily beside the table, gently placed the pipe in his hand on the table, then raised his wine glass with a smile and gestured to Duan Dingbang and the other young generals.

"Young men, I'd like to offer you a toast." Upon seeing this, Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu, Wang Minghua and others quickly reached out and picked up their own wine glasses from the table, and responded to Young Master Liu in unison.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast. I will drink it first as a sign of respect."

"Drink together."

After drinking the glass of wine, Young Master Liu exhaled the alcohol silently, then turned around with a smile on his face and sat on the chair behind him.

Seeing this, the cutie who was eating melon seeds immediately picked up the wine jug and filled a glass of wine for his father.

After Liu Mingzhi adjusted himself into a comfortable sitting position, he picked up the jade fan with a picture of a vast landscape on the table and flicked it gently, then looked at Duan Dingbang again with a chuckle.

"Dingbang, let's continue talking about your expedition to Persia."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please go ahead."

As Young Master Liu gently waved the carved jade fan to let the cool air flow against his chest, he turned his head and glanced at the situation at Duan Dingbang's tables.

"Dingbang, I just took a look and didn't see Lu Chen, Cai Yan, Cui Ruyu, Wang Anping... and others.

  Judging from the situation, you left Lu Chen, Cai Yan and the others in Persia?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Dingbang nodded without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, that is exactly the case.

Before we returned to the capital of the Arab Empire, we stationed a total of 50,000 troops in several cities of various sizes within the territory of Persia.

An army of 50,000 will not do without some key generals left behind to lead it!

Therefore, after careful discussion with Deputy Marshal Lu and General Ge, I finally decided that Deputy Marshal Lu, Senior Cai, and main generals such as Ruyu would stay in Persia.

We have already discussed it and the commander-in-chief and some major generals will be rotated every three months or so.

As for the soldiers stationed in the various cities within the Persian territory, they would be rotated every six months."

Young Master Liu nodded with an understanding look on his face, then smiled faintly, picked up a melon seed from the plate and threw it into his mouth.

"Very good, you have considered this matter very carefully.

  However, you have stationed 50,000 troops in various cities within the Persian territory at once. This is not a small number!

Young Master, I am very curious about how you, Dingbang, convinced the King of Persia to agree to station your troops in the territory of Persia.

Moreover, there were a total of 50,000 troops stationed there at once."

As soon as Young Master Liu asked Duan Dingbang this question, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Huyan Yu and others turned their heads and looked at Duan Dingbang with curiosity.

They were all very curious about this question.

Yesterday afternoon, there was a welcoming party for Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and other generals, so they were not in a position to talk about this issue.

Early this morning, Young Master Liu summoned Duan Dingbang and other generals of the second western expedition army, but they had no time to discuss this issue with Duan Dingbang.

Now that Young Master Liu has asked questions in this regard, they don't have to go to Duan Dingbang to ask later.

Duan Dingbang looked at the curious expression on Young Master Liu's face, and felt the curious gazes of his predecessors. He respectfully clasped his fist towards Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, we have reached a private agreement with the King of Persia, Alces Kedelyn.

Therefore, he agreed to allow us to station troops in the cities within the borders of Persia." (End of this chapter)
