228 The Emperor has come to watch the battle
Ouchi of the Imperial Palace.
Cai and the chief eunuch ran into the palace study in a panic and found the emperor, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, something happened!" β
"What's the panic, what kind of system?"
Emperor Xiang Yanran was reading a book and couldn't help frowning.
"The dispute between the little dusk marquis and the young master of the East Palace Zhuang is here."
Cai and the big eunuch said hurriedly.
"Why the dispute?"
The emperor is strange.
The Marquis of Xiao Du, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Observatory have a lot of grievances, and it is not surprising if there is a dispute. But Xiao Duhou and the teachers of the East Palace have no grievances, and they can't fight with the eight poles, so how can they argue.
"It's all because of the prince.
The prince was tired of learning and wanted to practice archery on a horse and horse, so that he could go on expeditions in the future. However, the young master of the East Palace, Zhuang, did not allow the enemy, saying that it was useless to be powerless, and only let him read the book of sages and learn benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The prince first quarreled with the teacher of the East Palace, ran away from the East Palace in a bad mood, and studied in Xiao Duhou.
Xiao Duhou supported the prince, saying that force was higher than benevolence and righteousness, so he had a dispute with the teachers of the East Palace. β
Cai He hurriedly told the emperor roughly what happened.
Xiang Yanran was suddenly furious, "This bastard thing, if he doesn't study hard in the East Palace, how can he cause trouble?!" β
"This~, this can't be all blamed on the prince. The prince was young and vigorous, and he had studied too hard in the past two months, and he would inevitably get tired of it, so he had the idea of skipping school. β
Cai and the great eunuch persuaded.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Xiao Duhou and Young Fu Zhuang had a dispute with the enemy, what happened later?" Have you ever had a fight?"
"Not really, but they made an appointment to bet at the Military Academy after three days. The little dusk marquis wants to fight a mock military exercise with Lord Taiwei. β
Cai and the big eunuch touched the sweat and said.
"What does this have to do with the Captain?"
The emperor was strange.
"The Marquis of Darkness wants to prove that he is right about the supremacy of force. So he wants to prove himself, Zhuang is not a good enemy, and it is nothing if he wins...... He's going to defeat Lord Taiwei. β
Cai He said with a wry smile.
Isn't this nonsense, the bet between the Marquis of Xiao Duan and the Young Master of the East Palace is based on defeating Lord Li Rong, the Grand Lieutenant.
Huang Xiang Yanran was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Bull fork!
Someone in Dachu actually dared to challenge the military strength of Li Rong, the king of Ping.
Since returning from the northern expedition against the Xiongnu ten years ago, the position of Taiwei Li Rong has been as stable as Mount Tai, and no general has been able to shake it for more than ten years.
Challenging Li Rong?
This is something that has never happened in the Great Chu Dynasty for more than ten years.
"Okay, since the little marquis is so confident, three days later, I personally went to the Military Martial Academy to observe. Let's see if our Lord Taiwei is not old, and how to abuse the little Duhou!
I went to be the referee myself, and it was best for Xiao Duhou to expect his father-in-law to abuse him a little less. β
Emperor Xiang Yanran was interested.
This little dusk marquis, this gentleman, is rampant in the Great Chu Dynasty, and he has not suffered a big loss, and he has been planted.
This time, let him understand the strength of his father-in-law.
So that he can learn a lesson and know that there is a heaven outside the sky.
"Yes, the old slave will arrange the itinerary!"
Cai and the great eunuch were taken aback, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the emperor was not angry and was going to be a referee for them.
β¦β¦
Inside the Pingwang Mansion.
After Li Rong agreed to discuss with Xiao Duhou, he ordered the Li disciples to prepare. Prepare your own horses, swords, guns, armor, and all kinds of things you need.
Three days later, at the Military Martial Arts Academy, a hundred Li disciples will be put into battle as the soldiers of Tai Lieutenant Li Rong.
I learned that my aunt Xiao Duhou and the prince would hold a simulated military exercise and compete.
The younger generation of Li disciples were all excited and geared up.
This means that they, the children of the Li family, will go into battle and beat their uncle.
"Uncle has drifted recently!"
"It must have been too much wine, and there was no edge to bragging."
"Hey, my uncle is still too naΓ―ve! He has never seen how our Li family fights, the brothers who fight in the war are father and son soldiers, and a hundred Li family soldiers can fight other elite 1,000 soldiers. β
"To be a man, you still have to be down-to-earth...... Don't always think about what you don't have! My uncle is already a master of literature, do you still want to become a master of the art of war?"
β¦β¦
Three days later.
Great Chu Military Martial Arts Academy.
The first batch of students of the entire Military Martial Arts Academy is only a thousand, all of whom are the sons and daughters of the military meritorious nobles of the Great Chu, the Dubo, the hundred generals, the incisors of the Great Chu army, the captains and other middle and low-level officials, who are studying and studying in the academy.
It can be said that it is the middle and low-level elite of the Great Chu Army, and they receive unified military training at the military academy to improve their standards.
Most of the teachers of the Military Academy are senior retired generals or active military generals. He is proficient in the art of war and strategy, and understands actual combat skills.
"Lord Taiwei actually took action in person, this opportunity is too rare. He is our great Chu god of war, the art of war is superb, and he uses soldiers like a god. β
"It's a pity, it's just that the opponent of Xiao Duhou is too weak. I'm afraid that if you raise your hand slightly, you will kill with one blow, and the little faint marquis won't be able to hold on for a moment, and he will be beaten to the ground, hugging his thighs and crying for his father and mother, begging Lord Yue's forgiveness!"
"Haha, that's right, the combat effectiveness of Xiao Duhou's opponent is too weak. I'm afraid that Lord Taiwei won't be able to exert his strength...... I can only barely take a look. β
The battle between Li Rong, the dean of the Military Martial Arts Academy, and Xiao Duhou aroused great interest among the teachers and students, and they all talked about it in private and laughed.
On a huge playground at the Military Academy.
The surrounding stands are full.
In addition to the teachers and students who came to watch, there were even some generals guarding the city, military meritorious families, and nobles of Jinling City, as many as five or six thousand people.
They all came for Captain Li Rong.
I want to learn a little bit of the way to use soldiers like gods.
After all, if you want to see Lord Taiwei take action in person, this kind of opportunity is too rare.
In addition to the treacherous Xiongnu battlefield, it can only be seen in military exercises.
The teachers of the East Palace, the young master Zhuang, the young master, the young guard, the Zhan Shi, etc., all came to watch the battle.
Of course, they came to see the jokes of the little dusk.
With the power of Xiao Duhou, Bai Ding, who had never even seen the battlefield, also wanted to defeat the Taiwei who had led the northern expedition and fought hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Huns.
Laugh at!
That's a fool's dream.
Whether it is a military general going head-to-head, or a small force of hundreds of troops fighting, or hundreds of thousands of troops fighting, Tai Lieutenant Li Rong's combat effectiveness is unchallengeable.
Even those ministers of the imperial court, Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, Imperial Historian Wang Su, Vice Minister Xiao Gongwang and other dozens of ministers also came to watch the battle.
They have repeatedly fought with Xiao Duhou and have suffered a loss, of course, they want to see Xiao Duhou's jokes and relieve their boredom recently.
Prince Xiang Tiange, Shen Wanbao and some other gentlemen, of course, also came early.
Ready to cheer for the little dusk...... If you lose, you don't lose the battle, even if you are defeated, you can't lose the prestige of these gentlemen.
"Shen Wanbao, why did you say that Xiao Duhou chose such a difficult opponent?...... He will lose today. But it was the prince who suffered, and if he lost, I could only go back to the East Palace to memorize those boring Confucian books.
If I knew this, I wouldn't have bothered to toss. β
The prince was a little depressed.
"Hey, the little Dusk Marquis has always been so deadly, and he likes to challenge those opponents who are difficult to die. If you stay in the East Palace and are bored, just come out and play often. β
Shen Wanbao was very sympathetic.
It was very lively in the stands.
When the exercise was about to start, Emperor Xiang Yanran finally came with the generals and eunuchs of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, sitting on the referee rostrum.
"Taiwei and Xiao Duhou, how are you preparing? By the way, the captain brought the soldiers of the Li family. Where did the hundred soldiers of the little dusk marquis come from?"
Xiang Yanran asked.
"They are each preparing, and they will immediately lead the troops into the training ground. As for where did the hundred soldiers of the little dusk marquis come from, this ...... The old slave had never heard of it. I guess I asked the Jinling soldiers who would be borrowed from the defending city, right?!"
Cai and the great eunuch said with some doubts.
