On the second day, as Li Shimin officially issued the appointment document, Xuanba began to take up the position of commander of the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry.

As for Li Xuanba, who commanded the Xuanjia elite cavalry as soon as he arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, and Cheng Biting Jin, who was located under him, Qin Qiong and the others were not convinced. There are three reasons, one is that the Xuanjia Army of more than 1,000 people is composed of the skeleton of Li Shimin's personal guards in the past, and it was under the command of Li Xuanba in the past. And as the most elite and powerful trump card unit in Li Shimin's hands, the coach must be firmly controlled in his hands, like an arm. In this position, ability is not the most important thing, but the trust of the manager. As the commander of the First Army, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Li Shimin is busy with military affairs, and it is more important to look at the overall situation, formulate strategies, and command the whole army. Before Li Xuanba came, the most trusted commander in the army was the eldest grandson Wuji, but unfortunately he was a literati and his martial arts were common, and now that his own brother is here, he is naturally the best to do. Second, the army has always admired the strong, although Li Xuanba has not shown his martial arts, and he has no outstanding achievements, but according to Li Shimin's original introduction, Xuanba's martial arts are still above it, Li Shimin has fought many battles at this time, and each battle is on the front line, charging and killing the enemy, and the martial arts of the handsome are obvious to all. Third, at that time, Cheng Biting, Jin Qinqiong and others had just joined the Tang Dynasty, although they had fought a few battles with Li Shimin and Wang Shichong, but their achievements were not obvious. Soon after they first arrived, they were able to command a part of the Xuanjia Army, and they were already considered to be Li Shimin broad-minded, knowing people well, and not daring to think about anything else.

Since Li Xuanba accepted the appointment as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, he knew that the second brother had high hopes for this army, which was the key to breaking the enemy in this battle, and he did not dare to take it lightly. On the same day, the whole army was summoned to inspect the men.

The Xuanjia Army really deserves the name of the elite, the orders are strict, and the army is neat. The attack is like a storm, swift and violent, and the retreat is orderly, and the rules are not chaotic. It really did what was recorded in "The Art of War", which was as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain!

Li Xuanba was very satisfied, and asked Li Mingyu, who was yawning on the side, "What?" With this tiger and wolf army, although Dou Jiande has 100,000 soldiers, why should he be afraid? ”

Li Mingyu didn't sleep well last night, he was very sleepy, yawned again, and said without any energy, "That Dou Jiande said that it was an army of 300,000 at first, but now it is less than 200,000." I think it will be tens of thousands less in two more days, and then he won't have to fight us, and he will lose himself. He knew the historical result that Dou Jiande would undoubtedly be defeated, and he was beaten by Li Shimin's thousands of men. There was a bit of contempt in his tone.

"Dou Jiande claims to have 300,000 soldiers and horses, although the actual number of men and horses is only 100,000, but it is still a hundred times that of me, not to be underestimated!" Li Xuanba saw Mingyu's nonchalant tone, and he was not very satisfied, secretly stinky boy, you are too crazy, thousands against 100,000, you are not the same thing.

"According to me, all bluffs are a sign of lack of confidence in their own strength, just like that Cao Cao, 200,000 is known as 800,000, and he went south, but was burned clean by Zhou Yu's Chibi fire. I think Dou Jiande is the same, he has a few days to live. Li Mingyu looked down on Dou Jiande in his heart, and said in his heart that you are 100,000 pigs, and you can line up for Li Shimin to cut with a knife, and you can last a year and a half. As the lord of a country, the royal drive should be the most morale-boosting, but Dou Jiande's guy was beaten by Li Shimin to demoralize him and was defeated repeatedly, he was really a complete idiot!

Li Xuanba frowned, and said unhappily, "How can you be so proud at such a young age!" You can know the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Today is different from the past, and the battle of Chibi is just like that in the past! ”

Seeing that the master's tone was stern, Mingyu knew that he was also for his own good, and he was afraid that he would raise the heart of arrogance and contempt for the enemy. He clenched his fists and replied, "Master's lesson is that I do not underestimate the enemy, but despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. ”

When Li Xuanba heard him say this, he heard it strange at first, but after careful reflection, it made a lot of sense, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The chairman's old man's words were reasonable, and seeing that the plagiarized words shocked the master again, Li Mingyu was also proud in his heart. The master was silent for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses, raised his hand and gave him a burst of chestnuts, and said angrily, "I asked you what you think of the Xuanjia Army before, why are you stinky boy pulling the flag with the wind, pulling the flag from side to side, I don't know where to take it." ”

"Oops!" Li Mingyu hugged his head and exhaled in pain, and when he saw that the master couldn't argue with him, he began to cheat, and he was full of contempt in his heart.

Then Li Xuanba coughed lightly and asked, "Tell me, what do you think of the Xuanjia Army?" ”

Li Mingyu pursed his lips and said, "In my opinion, it is average, bravery is bravery, but it lacks a spirit and spirit!" There is no such indomitable momentum! ”

"Oh? Not necessarily, right? These strong soldiers are now all highly motivated, and everyone is vying to make meritorious contributions to the commander to kill the enemy! Li Xuanba had the heart to test his apprentice, and asked with his shoulders crossed.

Li Mingyu rarely looked right, and said, "But all the invincible elites of a hundred battles have a sky-high arrogance, the kind of momentum that I am invincible and will not spin in death!" Regard the world's heroes as grass mustard, and be domineering! And at the moment, these soldiers are brave and brave, and their morale is acceptable, but they lack faith, the honor and mission of soldiers, what do they think! It's a meritorious service to kill the enemy! It's a wife and a shadow! That's why I said, at the moment, they are just ordinary elite soldiers, and they are still far from sweeping the world! Only with victories and the bones of enemies can we forge the soul of an invincible army in the world! ”

Li Xuanba heard what his apprentice said to the point, was silent for a long time, and sighed, "What you said, why don't I know?" What kind of invincible elite does not want to have? Which general doesn't want to lead? But since ancient times, the training methods have been similar, and the famous generals of ancient and modern times have been thoroughly figured out, why are there only a handful of strong armies that have left their names in history? Without him, the military spirit is difficult to cast and easy to disperse. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and who can guarantee that they will always be victorious? Right now, Wang Shichong is still fighting as a trapped beast, Dou Jiande is eyeing the tiger, and time is not waiting! ”

Li Mingyu smiled mysteriously and replied, "What Master said is right, but I have a shortcut to apprentice!" Although it can't cultivate the kind of elite I said, it's not far off. ”

"Huh? Do you have a way? Tell me about it? Li Xuanba knew that this apprentice had endless whimsical ideas in his head, and in just half a year, he trained a group of naughty boys who recruited cats and dogs all day long, and fished with birds and fish. I'm also curious, maybe he really has a way?

Li Mingyu approached the master and said, "Master also knows the current situation, I can't say when I will have to fight to the death with that Dou Jiande, in a short period of time, if the combat power of these soldiers wants to improve in great strides, don't think about it, but we can find another way, starting from the military regulations and military discipline, and strengthen physical fitness." In a short period of time, they were trained to the point that the order was forbidden, and they only knew the order but did not know anything else, and the commander gave an order like a mountain, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they had to go! Even if you go to die, knowing that there is a cliff in front of you, you have to sacrifice yourself to charge! ”

Li Xuanba frowned after hearing this, and said, "Can this work?" Wouldn't this be a class of unconscious wooden people? ”

Mingyu blurted out and said, "The army is a state violence machine, what do you want so many ideas for?" ”

"Violent machines? What is it? Xuanba heard the new term again and asked curiously.

"Uh........" Li Mingyu knew that he had missed his mouth again, his eyes rolled, and he changed to a statement that the ancients could accept, "In this way, the country is like a person, the monarch is the brain, decides who to fight, the commander is the arm, decides how to fight, and the army is the knife in the hand." How can a knife have an idea of its own? Just obey the order and chop everything in front of you to pieces. ”

Regarding Mingyu's point of view, Li Xuanba nodded in agreement, but still asked, "What you said, I don't think it's much different from now?" Now the Xuanjia Army is also strict in command, and at the same time, hundreds of people dare to charge in the face of thousands of enemies! ”

Li Mingyu shook his head and said, "The difference is big!" As I said before, they are doing meritorious service to kill the enemy, and hundreds of people face thousands, tens of thousands, because they know their strength, and they will definitely win. But what if the enemy is replaced by 20,000, 50,000, or even 100,000? Knowing that they are invincible, and the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is a hundredfold, will they still have the courage to charge? The military order is going, although tens of millions of people are going! That's exactly what we're going to do!"

"The military order is going, although tens of millions of people are going?" Li Xuanba muttered to himself, pondered for a long time, nodded in approval, and said, "This is reasonable, but how to implement it, I still have to discuss it with your second uncle." ”

The master and apprentice were talking, and a small colonel came to the horse, and when he saw Li Xuanba turn over and dismount, he gave a military salute and said, "Commander, the commander is invited!" ”

Li Xuanba didn't know what the second brother was looking for him, so he nodded and responded, "You go and restore your life, and I'll come later!" ”

Then Li Xuanba instructed the captain Lei Meng to continue to supervise the drill and take the apprentice to see Li Shimin.

When he came to the big tent, Li Shimin was wearing armor under the clothes of his own soldiers, and when he saw Li Xuanba's master and apprentice coming in, he smiled and said, "San Lang has arrived, he took office on the first day, and everything is still smooth?" ”

Li Xuanba clenched his fists and arched his hands, "The second brother summoned me just in time, and I have some training and improvement methods to discuss with you." "At that moment, I told the truth about the remarks I had discussed with Mingyu before.

Li Shimin is also familiar with military affairs, and after listening to it, he pondered for a moment and said, "Mingyu, this method is very wonderful!" I have exhausted the reason for military training! Xuanba, since you are the leader of the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, how to practice, how to practice, everything is up to you to decide! I have only one request! Time is of the essence, a month! Up to two months! Must be reached! ”

"Yes, second brother, don't worry! This method Mingyu has been trained by the children in the village, and it is not a problem! Li Xuanba patted his chest and replied. Then he asked, "What is the so-called thing that the second brother called me?" ”

Li Shimin put on his helmet and said with a smile, "I called you here to ask, have you rested for two days to nourish your spirit?" Are you interested in going out with me and going to the Dou Jiande camp to investigate? ”

Li Xuanba also smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go meet that Dou Jiande! ”
