Whether Yang Wengan, the governor of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, really rebelled, Sima Jiu does not know, but the current Yang Wengan is definitely a good hand in the army and a rare talent.

After all, Shi Xiang and Li Jiancheng have an extraordinary relationship, and it is impossible for him to arrange a mediocre talent for Li Jiancheng.

At present, Yang Wengan seems to be in his twenties, but he already has a lot of official rank in the army, and the imperial court is the general from the nine pins of Hengye.

For a person from a civilian family, he is definitely promoted to his current position step by step by virtue of his accumulated military merits.

Moreover, according to historical records, Yang Wengan later did not live up to expectations, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, making great contributions to the pacification of Kyushu by the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that, judging from the current situation, Li Jiancheng and Yang Wengan seem to be meeting for the first time, and at present, Yang Wengan is only a general from Jiupin Hengye under Shi Xiang.

"The last general, Yang Wengan, see general."

After Yang Wengan quickly glanced at everyone, he soon set his eyes on Li Jiancheng and saluted in parallel.

Li Jiancheng is not very old, polite and polite, but after putting on a military uniform, he has the demeanor of a Confucian general.

When Yang Wengan saluted, he had a lot of disdain in his heart.

"At a young age, this person was appointed by the imperial court as a general of Dangkou, who is nothing more than the son of a wealthy nobleman who wants to gild in the army."

Yang Wengan didn't have a good impression of the general in front of him, at least, for now.

The reason why he marched to see Li Jiancheng was nothing more than following military regulations.

"General Yang doesn't have to be polite."

Li Jiancheng saw Yang Wengan's contempt, so he made his identity clear.

"In Xia Li Jiancheng, he is the general of the imperial court."

The reason why Li Jiancheng is like this is that he shows that he is an official of the imperial court, and you Yang Wengan are a subordinate of this general and must obey the orders of this general.

Moreover, next, they will enter an extremely dangerous situation, he does not want to be estranged from his subordinates, and finding out his identity is tantamount to pulling in the relationship.

He is showing favor to Yang Wengan.

Subsequently, Li Jiancheng ordered: "General Yang, gather the sergeants, and General Ben will review it." ”

"Command!"

Yang Wengan took the order and left, although he understood Li Jiancheng's meaning, he still had a lot of disdain in his heart.

"The new official has taken office three times, and I think that this general is just going through the motions and giving lectures."

After a short time, Yang Wengan replied: "General, the soldiers have all been lined up, and there should be two hundred people to ride, but there are actually two hundred people to ride, please review." ”

The Great Sui Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, and thanks to the hard work of Emperor Wen of Sui, the entire empire is showing a thriving scene.

The imperial army at this time was well-armed and well-trained.

Li Jiancheng quickly inspected the two hundred riders in front of him and was quite satisfied.

These two hundred horsemen, all dressed in armor, wearing horizontal swords and short crossbows at their waists, and holding long spears, look like elites.

It can be seen that the two hundred horsemen sent by General Shi Xiang to Li Jiancheng are definitely the elite of the elite.

"Very good, General Yang's subordinates are neat and well-equipped, which is very much to my liking."

Yang Wengan stepped forward, "The subordinates are at the disposal of the general." ”

"Okay, General Yang, pass the order down, and practice the military formation, cavalry archery, and fighting one by one."

Yang Wengan was cautious.

"At this time, the scorching sun is in full bloom, but the general in front of him doesn't care."

"It seems that he is slightly different from the gold-plated nobles who came to the army before."

However, he still obeyed the order to practice.

Two hundred riders heard the news and moved.

Under the instructions of Yang Wengan, they changed several formations one after another, and then, galloping on their horses, shooting with crossbows one after another, and finally, two hundred horsemen whipped away in the direction of the stable.

In a short time, they dismounted and trotted in front of Li Jiancheng with neat steps.

Immediately afterward, they changed their formations into several columns, pitted each other against each other, and practiced dogfights.

Li Jiancheng glanced at the scene of the drill intently, and nodded one after another, seemingly satisfied.

"Very good, two hundred people ride, the order is forbidden, and you must obey it."

Sima Jiu was also amazed.

Coordinated attack and defense, superb horsemanship, and strict discipline, such an army can definitely be regarded as an elite division.

However, the more elite the division, the more arrogant they will have in their bones.

It is even more difficult to subdue such an army for its own use.

Sima Jiu couldn't help but worry about Li Jiancheng.

"General Yang!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"General Ben is quite satisfied with the performance of the soldiers."

Yang Wengan was immediately overjoyed.

Li Jiancheng said: "Come, you and I will practice." ”

When Yang Wengan heard the news, he was immediately shocked.

In the past, no nobleman's children who came to gild would practice with subordinate officers, which made Yang Wengan at a loss for a while.

Should he be a noble son or his boss, if he is a little careless and inappropriately hurts the other party, it will be difficult to end up.

Furthermore, no matter what the result of the sparring is, it seems that it is not good for you.

If you win, it will make your boss very shameless, which is inappropriate.

If you lose, you will lose face in front of your subordinates and colleagues, and it will be inappropriate.

Li Jiancheng saw that Yang Wengan hesitated.

Then he ordered the sergeant who was exercising: "All the soldiers listen to the order, stop!" ”

Since you hesitated, General Ben let you have no choice, Li Jiancheng said: "General Yang, please!" ”

"Command!"

While talking, the two of them had already come to the open space of the school field.

Yang Wengan pulled out his sword and reminded: "General Li, your subordinates have been offended. ”

"General Yang, you need to do it with all your might, don't leave your hands behind."

Li Jiancheng also drew his long sword.

Having said that, Yang Wengan didn't dare to really go all out.

"Command!"

Offense is the best defense, and as a soldier, Yang Wengan knows how to do it.

After finishing speaking, he swung his sword violently and attacked Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng did not retreat or dodge, he directly faced him, swinging his sword to catch Yang Wengan's volley in the air.

When the brave meet on a narrow road, the two armies face each other, and morale is particularly important.

What the strength is, regardless of the momentum, it must not be left behind.

When the two swords collided together, a burst of dust suddenly stirred up on the school field.

Subsequently, Yang Wengan took advantage of the sword momentum and launched attacks on Li Jiancheng one after another.

In addition to defense, Li Jiancheng swung his sword to counterattack from time to time, disrupting Yang Wengan's offensive moves.

For a time, the two were indistinguishable.

"Good skills!"

Yang Wengan was amazed by Li Jiancheng's strength.

He really couldn't imagine that Li Jiancheng, who seemed to be a scholar, was not inferior to himself in strength.

Every time their long swords collided, there would be a tingling sensation in the hand holding the sword.

Moreover, what surprised him even more was that Li Jiancheng almost did not launch a counteroffensive.

In other words, Li Jiancheng has not yet used his full strength.

The sergeants who watched the battle originally had the mentality of watching the play, but Li Jiancheng's performance really made them full of praise.

"I didn't expect the new general to be so powerful."

"General Yang is one of the strongest generals in our Heyin battalion, and after so many moves, he still hasn't taken down this new general."

"Yes, in the past, General Yang was an invincible opponent in the Heyin battalion!"

......

Indeed, as the soldier said, in the Heyin camp, Yang Wengan had challenged many colleagues, but rarely failed, which made him quite confident in his own strength.

Because of this, he was reluctant to practice with Li Jiancheng before, for fear of hurting the other party.

However, when he fought with Li Jiancheng, he found that Li Jiancheng's strength was, perhaps, not below him.

The huge gap made him very unhappy.
