After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 82:

Li Er couldnt even understand that his beloved padded jacket (referring to Changle) had already sprung leaks everywhere.

If you feel unwell, rest more and avoid moving around recklessly. Su Li, you should stay by Changles side during this time. Your medical skills are good, so take good care of her. Changle is still young, dont leave any lingering illness behind. Li Ers eyebrows slightly furrowed as he spoke.

Changles single statement was enough for Li Er to believe it instinctively. After all, in his memory, Changle had never lied to him.

He couldnt know that Changles health was unprecedentedly good at the moment, without any adverse effects. Her lie was because she found her father too meddlesome, affecting her closeness with her husband.

Changle just wanted to be with Su Li and never be apart. Even if Su Li were to serve as an official in the court, Changle wouldnt want to be separated.

Whether leading troops or serving as an official, there would be duties to fulfill, and you couldnt be late or leave early.

For Changle, this was the scariest thing imaginablehow could she endure being apart from Su Li for such long hours?

If Li Er knew Changles true feelings, he might just be angry!

Li Er had always believed that even though he wasnt widely recognized, he was still a qualified emperor. At least, he was striving to best use people and their talents.

Whenever he encountered a talented individual, he would find ways to incorporate them under his banner. He believed that this attitude had brought him ample rewards. Even during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he had entrusted important tasks to Xue Wanche, who had fought fiercely for Li Jiancheng. But none of the heroes he had gathered could compare to Su Li!

Able to cast elephants and braver than any overlordsuch a formidable general made Li Er envious. So much so that after hearing about the incident at Lin Yuan yesterday, he couldnt sleep well the whole night.

The thought that kept swirling in his mind was that Su Li must lead the troops. The more he thought about it, the more he believed that the Yuan Tiangangs auspicious sign must be related to the military.

After thinking all night, Li Er eagerly rushed to the Princess Mansion early in the morning. However, Changles few words quickly dashed his hopes, and Li Er had no choice.

Regarding Changles health, Li Er couldnt afford to ignore it. Seeing that Changles words had dissuaded Li Er from unnecessary thoughts, Su Li felt relieved. After all, it wasnt easy to deceive Li Er.

But when Li Ers gaze landed on Su Li, he felt helpless. Li Ers eyes at this moment held not only regret but also a hint of resentment.

Honestly speaking, Su Li understood Li Ers thirst for talent. With his remarkable strength, no emperor would overlook him. However, Su Li didnt possess any grand ambitions. His priority was enjoying his time with his wife and accumulating points using his system.

He didnt seek power or wealth since he knew the limits of human desires. While he recognized Li Ers efforts as an emperor, he wasnt interested in political power. Su Li believed he couldnt always have his way, even as an emperor. He saw through the superficial enjoyment that wealth could bring and didnt find it appealing.

Su Lis main desire was to experience the thrill of battle on the battlefield, showcasing his extraordinary strength. He had no intention of becoming an officer. His power was far beyond the normal limits, and he considered himself the pinnacle of human combat strength.

After discussing this matter, Su Li shifted the conversation, hinting that Changle had just woken up and Li Er was busy. Su Li implied they hadnt had breakfast and wanted to be alone, but Li Er didnt catch on. Instead, he mentioned trying the food at the Princess residence.

Although Su Li was hesitant, Li Er, appearing distracted, walked ahead alone. Even though Li Er understood the hint in Su Lis words, he couldnt resist the allure of having such a supreme general around. He wasnt ready to let go of the idea just yet.

Thinking about Su Lis extraordinary strength and contemplating the situation, Li Er suddenly came up with a question.

How skilled is Su Li in the art of war strategy? Li Er paused his steps, turned to face Su Li, and inquired, Su Li, have you ever studied military texts?

Su Li was shocked. It seemed that Li Er was still persistent in his curiosity. However, this time, he didnt need to come up with any reasons or excuses. Embarrassingly, Su Li had never really delved into military strategy in his two lifetimes combined. He was not knowledgeable in the art of war, having only picked up bits of military information from the era of information explosion. In this era, he might be able to bluff his way through using his limited information, but he lacked any substantial knowledge.

Military tactics and strategies were not to be taken lightly. Regardless of the era, being a skilled military leader wasnt an easy task. It involved numerous intricate details. A capable general could swiftly formulate the best tactics based on their strengths and adapt to complex situations. On the other hand, Su Li was completely clueless about these matters. He didnt hesitate to admit it.

Your Majesty, Ive never studied military texts, Su Li responded honestly.

Li Er frowned and continued, So, youre not familiar with the art of war?

Su Li didnt reply verbally but nodded earnestly, signifying his lack of expertise.

Thats a shame, Li Er expressed regret with a disappointed shake.

It made sense. Su Li was only 23 years old, having grown up in a rural area. Even if he came from a mythical realm with hidden knowledge, expecting him to know everything wouldnt be reasonable.

Li Er chuckled at his own thoughts. Indeed, Su Lis abilities were astonishing, and his shock caused him to overreach his expectations. It would be unrealistic to assume that Su Li possessed expertise in both martial and strategic matters.

After all, heavenly beings like Su Li werent usually expected to engage in warfare like mortal men. As Li Er thought about this, he couldnt help but shake his head and chuckle at his own assumptions.

Su Lis abilities have amazed him, and perhaps a bit too greedy for more. In theory, Su Lis incredible strength, capable of throwing elephants, would allow him to dominate the battlefield even without knowledge of military tactics. His extraordinary bravery alone could lead him to success.

However, Li Ers expectations for Su Li go beyond that. He desired a peerless warrior like Xiang Yu, the Western Chu overlord. While personal courage was crucial on the battlefield, exceptional military tactics were also indispensable.

Was Xiang Yus lasting reputation solely due to his courage?

His reputation was earned through hard-fought battles.

Whether it was the Battle of Julu, where he defeated a much larger Qin army, or the Battle of Pengcheng, where he triumphed over Liu Bangs forces, these were legendary achievements in military history. Through these remarkable victories against the odds, Xiang Yu earned renown.

Yuan Tiangang might have called Su Li an auspicious figure in the Tang Dynasty, but he didnt offer any hints about how to utilize him.

Now, Li Er believed he figured it out by combining Su Lis existing courage with a deep understanding of military strategy. Su Lis inherent bravery and mastery of military tactics could lead to remarkable achievements.

Even Li Er found it hard to understand the heights Su Li might achieve. Thinking about this, Li Er felt a sense of excitement. Had Su Li not read military texts to learn about tactics?

This wasnt a problem at all!

Among the renowned generals under my command, finding a capable teacher to instruct him was a simple matter. With this idea in mind, Li Er started considering who should be Su Lis teacher.
