Chu Tianxiu and the young Fu Zhuang of the East Palace made a bet in public to fight a mock military exercise with Li Rong, the captain of the Great Chu God of War.

Xiao Duhou won, and the young master of the East Palace worshipped Xiao Dull Hou as a teacher and practiced the art of war.

When Xiao Duhou lost, he asked the prince to go back to the East Palace to study hard behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to practice martial arts again.

This bombshell news disappeared like wings, and the city of Jinling was full of uproar.

It's a sensation in the city.

Those princes and ministers, scholars, Confucian scholars, and ordinary people were all in an uproar when they heard the news.

"Why is it that the little dusk marquis and the young master Zhuang underestimate the enemy's bet, the two of them don't fight a game, but the little dusk marquis wants to fight a mock drill with the captain Li Rong? The two of them had a dispute, what does it have to do with Lord Taiwei? ”

Those who have good deeds are confused.

"Little Dusk Hou is disdainful!

He preached: 'Force can conquer all.' Can't conquer, that's not enough force! But Zhuang disapproves of the enemy, saying that benevolence, righteousness and morality are invincible.

Zhuang Qingdi is not a military wizard, even if Xiao Duhou wins, he is not very capable, not to mention that he is very strong. Only by defeating the invincible Great Chu God of War Taiwei Li Rong can it be called a real skill!

The words spoken by Xiao Duhou can be convincing, and there is no way to refute it! ”

"Makes sense!"

"If the little dusk marquis can defeat Lord Taiwei Li Rong, then what he said is actually correct. Otherwise, it's bragging, huh. ”

...

The two sides made an appointment for three days to meet at the Military Academy and witness how Xiao Duhou defeated the Great Chu God of War.

Of course, before that, Chu Tianxiu had to do one thing first.

That is to make the Tai Lieutenant Li Rong, that is, his father-in-law, promise to fight a mock military exercise with him.

This is probably something more difficult to do than defeating Li Rong.

After all, as Lord Taiwei, the third prince of the imperial court, and the god of war of Great Chu, isn't it just anyone who wants to fight with him to fight. Even if Xiao Duhou is the son-in-law of the Ping Palace, it is not easy.

Li Rong's military status was too high, and he rarely made a move. Even if it's a fight, it's a big general of equal strength.

Xiao Duhou is not famous in the military, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a nobody, how can the third prince fight with a nobody.

That night, Chu Tianxiu took a carriage back to King Ping's Mansion. He was tormented by a way to convince his father-in-law to agree to fight him.

Along the way, Zu'er was extremely excited, chattering non-stop.

In her eyes, the prince is so martial and invincible. No one in this world can defeat him, and there are probably not even many people who dare to fight him.

My uncle dared to challenge the prince without saying a word, not to mention whether he could beat it or not, just this spirit is so majestic!

After returning to the mansion, Zu'er immediately jumped up and down excitedly to find Li Yu and tell Li Yu about it.

Li Yu and Di Er were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard of Yu Garden.

"Uncle is too powerful, he wants to fight a military exercise with the prince. Even the prince dares to challenge, it's too powerful! ”

After hearing this, Di'er couldn't help but marvel, and nodded again and again, "It seems that my uncle feels that his wings are stiff, and he wants to break his wrist with the master!" ”

"Husband wants to challenge my father?"

Li Yu only knew about this, and couldn't help but be surprised and incredulous, "Husband, this Jinling Mansion Yin did a good job, he is a civil official, and he doesn't go to the battlefield, why do you suddenly want to challenge my father?"

"My uncle bragged in front of the crown prince and the teacher of the East Palace, saying that he could defeat the prince in military exercises. However, my uncle was worried that the prince would not fight. ”

Zu'er worried.

"It's too messy. My father is a lieutenant, how can he casually agree to the challenge! ”

Li Yu was annoyed.

The husband is the son-in-law of the Ping Wangfu, and her father is the son-in-law and the relationship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law, and the relationship is closer than others.

But the husband has no record on the battlefield, and he is a white ding.

How could a father accept this challenge?!

"However, my uncle has already blown this cow out, saying that as long as the force is strong enough and can defeat everything, he also said that he will fight in the military academy in three days. If the prince should not fight at that time, wouldn't he be smiling and generous?"

Zu'er worried.

Li Yu pondered for a while.

This is a serious matter.

The husband is a civilian official, and he has no special strengths in military affairs. If you lose, you lose, it's just that everyone just thinks he is bragging about it, but it's a trivial matter.

But if Daddy shouldn't fight.

The outside world is afraid that her father will not give Xiao Duhou any face, and he does not look at this son-in-law at all, and that husband is in danger in the officialdom.

The husband made trouble in Jinling City and offended countless princes and ministers, but he was able to get out unscathed, which is naturally for a reason.

Without the backer of Pingwangfu, I am afraid that many people will be eager to try and find trouble with their husbands.

"That's it, I'll go there in person and let my father agree to a military exercise with my husband!"

Li Yu's face changed, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to go out in person.

On vacation today, my father was resting in King Ping's Mansion and did not go out.

Before his father heard all kinds of rumors from the outside world, he quickly agreed.

If my father heard the rumors that the little Dusk Marquis could overcome everything by force and that he would win a battle against him, I am afraid that he would be very angry and not accept the challenge at all.

The husband wants to challenge, but I'm afraid there is no shadow.

Li Yu immediately went to find his father, Li Rong.

Li Rong was leisurely drinking tea in the hall, holding a book of military strategy in his hand, reading it with relish.

Li Yu was in a good mood when he saw Li Rong, obviously he hadn't heard from the outside world yet.

I guess no one dared to tell him.

She immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, the little dusk marquis has recently studied the art of war, and I want to ask my father for on-the-spot guidance." I wonder if my father will have time?"

"Oh, the little Dusk Marquis is actually interested in the art of war? Isn't he specialized in literature and Taoism, a generation of literary masters? What's the matter, he is still both civil and military? This is quite unusual!

If he's interested, I'll just give him a point. ”

Li Rong smiled.

"It's shallow on paper, it's all about the battle on paper, and you still have to try it on a simulated military battlefield to know the depth.

Three days later, he was at the Military Martial Arts Academy, so please personally instruct him and simulate a small-scale military exercise and actual combat confrontation with him. How?"

Li Yu said with a smile.

"Simulated real combat?"

Li Rong nodded, "Okay, as the dean of the Military Martial Academy, I can just give a simulation demonstration to the students of the Military Martial Academy!"

Simulating actual combat is a very common thing for soldiers. The generals of the Great Chu also often simulated military battles.

He showed his hand, and let this son-in-law, the first gentleman in Jinling, see his father-in-law's ability.
