Chapter 257: The Cunning General
"I've seen the general." Xue Rengui saluted and said.
"You are Xue Rengui, no wonder His Highness praises you, what a talent." Li Jing looked at Xue Rengui and had a good impression of his strong physique and polite manners.
Li You said: "Wei Gong, I came to recommend him to you. Xue Rengui is not only strong in martial arts, but also very proficient in military books and battle strategies. Don't look at him young, but he is a general.
You can test him, and if you can, I hope you will take him as an apprentice. ”
Li Jing is the first military strategist of the Tang Dynasty, known as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and his military works include "Li Weigong's Art of War", "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asks Right", "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors" and so on.
He now has two apprentices, one is Li Ji (Xu Maogong) and the other is Hou Junji, both of whom are top famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.
Li You is not interested in military affairs, he feels that Xue Rengui is a general, and following him is just a high-level bodyguard, which will bury him. So, I hope that Xue Rengui can follow Li Jing so that he can embark on his journey to the stars as soon as possible.
Following Li Jing, Xue Rengui was not only able to learn Li Jing's art of war and military experience, but also to establish contacts in the army.
Li Jing is not interested in politics, he does things mostly from a military point of view, he is 63 years old this year, and he originally did not plan to accept any more apprentices, but seeing such a good seedling as Xue Rengui, he couldn't help but move the idea of accepting apprentices again.
The old man never dragged his feet in doing things, he immediately took Xue Rengui to the martial arts arena in the house to test Xue Rengui's martial arts.
Li Jing has two sons, the eldest son, General Li Dejian Yiwei (Zheng Sipin), and General Li De Award Mingwei (Zheng Sipinxia), and he wants to have children late, and they are in their thirties this year.
Both brothers have good martial arts. They had long heard that Xue Rengui was strong in martial arts, and they all wanted to try it with him.
First of all, it was a test shooting, Xue Rengui knew how many people questioned the prince in order to recommend himself, so he tried his best to show what he had learned, and with a continuous shooting, Li Dejian and Li Dexian were embarrassed to shoot.
Then there was an immediate weapon competition, Xue Rengui wanted to save face for the general, and defeated Li Dejian in the seventh round and Li Dejiao in the eighth round.
Li Jing praised: "It's really good martial arts." ”
Li Dejian and Li Decheng brothers also expressed their admiration.
Everyone returned to the guest room, and Li Jing began to inspect Xue Rengui's military book and battle strategy, and the application of the formation map, Xue Rengui answered fluently.
Li Jing was very satisfied, and he said, "Since His Highness recommended you, the old man will accept you as an apprentice." ”
Xue Rengui looked at Li You, and Li You smiled and said, "You don't hurry up to apprentice." ”
Xue Rengui knelt down and bowed to Li Jing.
Li You said: "Duke Wei, in the future, Xue Rengui will be handed over to you, and arrange a position for him in the army." ”
The Longwu Army is the cavalry unit of the Northern Army, divided into two armies, the left and right, with more than 30,000 people.
Li Dejian now served as a lieutenant in the Right Dragon Army, with four battalions of cavalry under his command. He said: "Your Highness, the minister suggests that Xue Rengui go to the minister to serve as a brigade commander." ”
The brigade commander was the battalion commander and had three cavalry teams of 500 men. The official position of the seventh product. Xue Rengui is now a soldier from the seventh rank, which is equivalent to being promoted again.
Li You smiled: "Gong Wei has the final say. ”
Li Jing Datang said: "Minister, look at it, that's it." Rengui usually serves in the army, so come to me to learn the art of war. ”
Xue Rengui expressed his gratitude.
Li Jing invited Li You to eat in the mansion, but Li You really didn't like his food here, so he said that there was something wrong and left.
Xue Rengui followed Li You to open the Great General's Mansion and walked in the direction of the Qi Palace. On the way, the thought of leaving the prince made his heart very sad.
Walking not far away, Xue Rengui said to Li You: "Lord Wang, you go first, the minister still has some things to do." ”
Li You agreed and left with the white tiger.
Xue Rengui watched Li You go away, and he returned to the General's Mansion.
Li Jing asked in surprise, "Rengui, are you still in trouble?" ”
Xue Rengui saluted and said, "Master, the apprentice has something to do."
Not long ago, he was just a country boy, and his life was gone. Meng Wang Ye took a fancy to him, promoted the apprentices all the way, and took meticulous care of the apprentices, which can be said to be as kind as a mountain.
The prince is now in charge of border affairs, and he may go out to deal with things at any time. The prince is a person who is not afraid of danger, and he always does things with his own adventures.
The apprentice was not at ease and didn't want to leave the prince, so he could only refrain from the master's kindness and not go to serve in Long Wujun. ”
Li Jing was very happy to see Xue Rengui behaving like this, although he felt a little pity, he still agreed to Xue Rengui's request.
After Xue Rengui left, Li Jing said to Li Dejian and Li Dexian's brothers: "See, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is really a character."
Zhang Liang is a slippery head, his son Zhang Guigui followed His Royal Highness King Qi, and his performance was also remarkable, and the people around His Royal Highness King Qi were all like this.
This highness, it's not easy. ”
Li Dejian said: "Yes, father, His Royal Highness King Qi is very powerful, and he can't do things that people don't admire, I see, among His Majesty's princes, no one can compare to him." ”
Li Jing said: "Be cautious. Don't talk about such things at home. ”
Li Dejian said: "Yes, father. The child has an idea, please give me an idea.
Hong'er is 13 years old this year, and the child wants him to study with His Royal Highness King Qi, I don't know if it's okay?" Li Jing's eldest grandson is named Li Hong.
Li Jing said: "That's what I mean, now, how many people want to enter the research institute of His Royal Highness King Qi."
In the future, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers in the imperial court, let Hong'er learn some other knowledge, and don't join the army anymore. ”
Li Dejian said: "Yes, father, please tell His Highness." ”
Li Jing smiled: "No, you just take Hong'er with you." I just took in an apprentice for him, won't he take one for me? Ha ha. ”
Li Dexuan said with a smile: "I said, my father has always stopped accepting apprentices, and today he suddenly accepted Xue Rengui, it turned out to be this idea."
This is good, with this relationship, His Royal Highness King Qi will definitely take care of Hong'er. Ha ha. You're still scheming. ”
East Palace.
Seeing that the Spring Festival was coming, Li Chengqian took over the power of Chang'an's transformation, but because of the cold weather in winter, he could not start to implement it. I couldn't help but feel depressed.
Zhang Xuansu proposed to find a way to get some benefits for the ministers and nobles before the Chinese New Year, and Li Chengqian also wanted to do so, but he didn't have the money, so he started the idea of keeping money from the salt administration.
Liangyi Palace, study.
Li Chengqian said: "Father,
It's going to be the New Year, didn't Li You say that he would improve the officials' salaries in the future, and Erchen wondered if he could distribute some in advance before the New Year, so that everyone could have a good New Year.
