In the afternoon of that day, a group of more than 100 light horsemen came to Li Qing'an's Jiangdu regimental training camp, led by a general in his early thirties, he turned over and dismounted, and asked the guards from afar: "May I ask if General Li Qing'an has not entered the city?" ”

"My general is still in the barracks."

The general smiled again: "Please tell your general, just say that Longyou Li Guangbi is visiting." ”

"Wait, please!" The guards hurried to report it.

In the big tent, Li Qing'an was discussing the matter of Anxi with Li Fei Shouyu and He Yanming, Li Fei Shouyu smiled and said: "I talked to the brothers yesterday, I thought I didn't want to go to Anxi, after all, the gentle township in Yangzhou is nostalgic, but as soon as I mentioned it, half of the sergeants were eager to go to Anxi, and it seems that many brothers have already had this intention." ”

"And what about the other half?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"Most of the others are worried about the small family, I promised them that if they are willing to go to Anxi, we will reward each of them with 200 acres of land, and the military households do not have to pay taxes, and give another 50 yuan for settling in, so that many people say that they can consider it, and I can see that they are actually willing."

Speaking of this, Lifei Shouyu was a little frustrated: "But in the end, there are still more than 30 people who are unwilling to go to Anxi, which is a pity!" ”

"Actually, that's pretty good!"

Li Qingan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Where can it be perfect, after all, people miss their hometown, and Anxi is too far away." ”

"I know that, so I think these brothers are very good."

Li Qingxin was relieved that most of the brothers were willing to go with him, and he asked He Yanming again: "Did he take the gold I gave the prince?" ”

"Here, last night, more than a dozen carriages came, and it can be seen that they are all dressed as palace guards, and half of the bronze utensils have been transported, and there are tokens of the general."

"It seems that he is also impatient."

Li Qing'an smiled and said, "I estimate that our day back to Anxi is coming soon, you can bring a few brothers to buy more porcelain, silk and other large things in the past two days, and then mix the other half of the gold in it and transport it back to Anxi together." ”

"Don't worry, general, I'll do it!"

At this time, a soldier ran to the door and reported: "General, General Li Guangbi from the Wujin camp outside the gate asks to see you." ”

'Lee Kwang Pik? Li Qing'an was slightly stunned, and then he smiled at Li Fei Shouyu and said: "This Li Guangbi is a famous general in Longyou, we can't snub others, let's go out to greet them together!" ”

Of course Li Qingan knows who Li Guangbi is? In the Anshi Rebellion, this famous general of the Tang Dynasty led the Tang army to fight Hedong and Hebei, severely damaged the An Lushan rebels, and together with Guo Ziyi, became the two mainstays of the Tang Dynasty to turn the tide.

Like Li Qing'an, he also selected 500 elite soldiers for training, and the place where they were stationed was not far from Li Qing'an's Jiangdu camp, about three miles away.

In a moment, the camp gate was opened, and Li Qingan led Li Fei Shouyu and several other subordinates to come out to greet him.

Li Qing'an stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Brother Guangbi for a long time, and Qing'an only saw it today." ”

Li Guangbi is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, his father Li Kailuo, was originally the Khitan chief, attached to the Tang Dynasty during the Wu Zetian period, and the official was the general of the right Yulin, and he was named the prince of Jijun.

Before leaving, the old man somehow had a premonition, and said to people: "Destroy the attacking Tubo thieves, and I won't be able to come back." ”

Sure enough, after the thief was leveled, Li Kailuo died of illness on the way back to his teacher, and he really died at work. The imperial court vigorously praised and gave the governor of Yingzhou to be loyal to the martyrs.

Li Guangbi is a martyr's child, since he was a child, he is not like an ordinary child frolicking and playing, since his youth, Li Guangbi is good at riding and shooting, surnamed Ge Yan Yi Congo, not smiling, people are solemn at first sight, the camp knows that this is a good seedling with lofty ambitions, after Li Kailuo's death, Li Guangbi attacked his father and knighted, served in the army in Hexi, he was especially appreciated by Wang Zhonghei, promoted him to the Chishui Army soldiers and horses, and was just transferred to Longyou last year.

Last night, his regimental training camp was shot by someone, which disturbed the morale of the army, and he was puzzled all night, so he specially came to Li Qingan to ask about the situation.

Seeing that Li Qing'an was polite, he hurriedly replied: "I have also heard the prestige of Anxi's first arrow for a long time, and I have wanted to visit for a long time, and I have dragged it on until today." ”

He looked Li Qing'an up and down, and when he saw that he was majestic, he couldn't help but like it in his heart, and said: "There is an order from the Ministry of War, let us enter the imperial city today, and I will lead the troops into Beijing, I don't know if the virtuous brother is willing to go with me." ”

"I'm also about to enter Beijing, please come in and sit down for a while, I'll pack up my troops and horses and leave."

"No need, I'll just wait here, brother Xian, please!"

Li Qing'an cleaned up for a moment, and also led a hundred of the most elite soldiers out of the camp gate, he arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Guangbi, let's go!" ”

The two joined forces and galloped towards Chang'an City together.

．．．．．．．．

"Brother Qing'an, what was unusual in your barracks last night?" Along the way, Li Guangbi asked about the abnormality of last night.

Li Qingan smiled and said, "Has the Wujin camp also been shot by someone?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Guangbi was surprised: "Could it be that Jiang Duying also had the same experience?" ”

Li Qingan nodded, "But we didn't last night, but the night before yesterday, and another sentry was injured by an arrow." ”

Li Guangbi frowned and asked, "Then have you found out who did it?" ”

"Brother Guangbi, there is no way to investigate this matter at all, I told my brothers that it was a hunter who hunted and shot the barracks by mistake."

"Why do you say that?"

"Brother Guangbi, there is no point in shooting arrows at night, the only impact is to disturb the morale of the army and affect the performance of the soldiers tomorrow, in this case, why should you take this matter to heart? Fall for someone else's tricks. ”

Li Guangbi nodded and said with a smile: "Virtuous brother Gaojian, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and my mind was dizzy, maybe I will make a command mistake later, and I will disappoint the saint." ”

"Okay, this review is just to see the cavalry shooting, not to fight, the key is that the soldiers can play normally."

"Fortunately, I didn't investigate the matter strictly last night, and ordered the guards to block the news, otherwise the brothers would not have had a good night's sleep."

Speaking of this, Li Guangbi laughed in a low voice: "Brother Qing'an, have you ever thought about bringing the regimental training camp back to Anxi?" ”

Li Qingan glanced at him and smiled, "What about Brother Guangbi?" Have this idea? ”

The two looked at each other, both understood, and laughed together.

The two of them walked while talking, and after a short time they entered the Mingde Gate, at this time, each regiment training envoy led their own soldiers into the city, tomorrow's review is the twelve regimental training battalions in turn, each battalion out of a hundred people, a total of 1,200 people to participate in the inspection, this is every border general, is an opportunity to show their ability in front of the emperor, although not a confrontation, but is an invisible competition, everyone knows that the future of the major festival envoys, must be among them.

In order to ensure tomorrow's review, tonight's regimental training battalions will be stationed in the guard camps in the imperial city, among which the three regimental training camps of the Fan Yang Army will be stationed in the right leading guard camp.

As soon as the sky was dark, the general Tian Qianzhen found Shi Siming, Tian Qianzhen was training in the Hefei battalion in Luzhou, just now he heard a rumor, that the twelve regimental training battalions were shot by people these two nights, but his own Hefei battalion was safe, and the regimental training battalion of another Fan Yang army was also safe, he was suspicious in his heart, this matter may have been Shi Siming's doing.

As soon as he stationed his soldiers, he immediately found Shi Siming.

Shi Siming was having dinner in the tent, and when he saw Tian Qianzhen coming, he got up and said with a smile: "General Tian hasn't eaten dinner yet!" Just eat together. ”

Tian Qian really ignored him, he asked with a cold face: "You sent someone to do the cold arrow shooting in the training camp of each regiment, right?" ”

Shi Siming laughed dryly and said, "What do you mean by this?" What do I send someone to shoot arrows for, and what good will it do me? ”

"I'm just asking you, did you do it?"

Tian Qianzhen's unceremonious tone made Shi Siming a little annoyed, and he snorted heavily, "What if I did it?" I didn't interfere with you, so this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

"But this matter is related to Fan Yangjun, once it is found out by the imperial court that you did it, then the saint will not only blame you Shi Siming alone, but will say that Fan Yangjun acted despicably, then I will not be implicated?"

Tian Qian was extremely angry in his heart, he knew that Shi Siming did this to disturb the morale of the other regiments and training battalions, and to profit from it, but the consequences of his doing this were extremely serious, not to mention ruining the reputation of Fan Yangjun, maybe it would also affect the position of the commander.

"I'm going to report this matter to the marshal, you go and explain it to the marshal yourself!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, Shi Siming suddenly pulled out his sword and blocked his way, "Stop!" ”

"What, do you want to kill me?" Tian Qianzhen sneered.

Shi Siming glanced at him, took back the sword, and said coldly: "We are all working for the big handsome, I don't want to turn against you, I just want to remind you that when you attacked the Khitan the year before last, you were besieged by the Khitans all night, who fought desperately to save you?" I, Shi Siming, don't ask for your return, but I also hope that you don't take revenge. ”

Shi Siming didn't have to do it a year earlier, but when he mentioned that incident, Tian Qianzhen suddenly became furious, "Are you embarrassed to say, if you hadn't given me false information, would I have been besieged by the Khitans?" My two younger brothers died in the siege that night, you came to save me just to take the opportunity to make meritorious service, you got the first merit afterwards, and I was accused of being greedy and reckless, fined for a year, and said that I owe you a favor, Shi Siming, this matter is still due to you to have the face to say, hum! ”

Tian Qianzhen pushed away his sword and strode out, Shi Siming's face was gloomy to the extreme, he narrowed his eyes and said viciously: "The surname Tian, if you dare to tell Da Shuai about this matter, then don't blame me Shi Siming for being ruthless." ”

"Alright, let's see!"

Tian Qianzhen left Shi Siming's camp quickly, Shi Siming's face was white and red, although he said it fiercely, but he was really afraid that Tian Qianzhen would tell An Lushan, and An Lushan would generally approve of this kind of thing, but there is a premise, that is, it is not allowed to do it without permission, this matter is because An Lushan is far away in Fanyang, so he Shi Siming has no time to ask for instructions, if Tian Qianzhen sues him, if An Lushan is not good, the old account will be calculated together, and his future will be broken.

Shi Siming didn't have time to think about it, he immediately wrote a letter, attracting a confidant and saying: "You immediately send this letter to Fan Yang, hand it over to Mr. Gao, and ask Mr. Gao to help me this time no matter what." ”

When the messenger left, Shi Siming slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Tian Qianzhen, if you really dare to sue me, then wait and see!" ”

．．．．．．．．．

The next five corrections, the rumbling drums resounded throughout the imperial city, the garrisons in the imperial city got up one after another, but the most active is still the 12 regimental training camps, today is their big test, they are particularly nervous and excited, perhaps because of the little impact, the regimental training camp was shot by no one mentioned, a few military officials who have heard a little about it see that everyone does not pursue the case, they also pretend to be deaf and dumb, lest they get into trouble.

As usual, as soon as the drums of the Jiangdu battalion sounded, they got up and practiced as quickly as possible, according to the order of last night's draw, the Jiangdu battalion appeared in the fourth, in front of Li Siye's Shouchun battalion, and the first to appear was Li Guangbi's Wujin battalion.

In the barracks, five straw man targets were lined up, and a one-person-high trench was dug under the straw man target, and several Anxi soldiers ran back and forth with straw man targets, asking the soldiers to shoot moving targets in high-speed running.

Hundreds of soldiers in a hundred steps away from the horse wheel shooting, a total of five rounds, each of them in the twenty steps of running range shot two arrows, left and right bow each arrow, Li Qingan gloomy face on the side to supervise the battle, this hundred people from the five hundred people carefully selected by him to achieve excellent results, can be said to be the elite of the elite, all burly, can open five stone bows, and a hundred steps through Yang.

I only heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the sound of bowstrings one after another, and a hundred people were like a marquee, drawing arrows, stretching their bows, and shooting out, one after another, round after round, non-stop, the arrows were not missing, and in only a quarter of an hour, all five rounds of 100 people were shot, and 1,000 arrows were shot, of which three people were ten arrows and eight hits, which did not meet Li Qingan's minimum requirements.

At this moment, the three soldiers were bowing their heads and accepting Li Qing'an's reprimand.

"The three of you, He Yingchuan, Liao Guozhi, Luo Jiang, I remember your names, since a month ago, you were all in the top 20 in training, I don't know how you are not good today, you actually missed the target with two arrows, tell me, what is the reason for this?"

The three of them didn't dare to say anything, Li Qingan pointed at one of the young and heroic young men and said, "He Yingchuan, you are the brigade commander, you say it first!" ”

He Yingchuan shouted: "General, the last general is a little nervous, he wants to shoot too much, but he will miss it." ”

The other two also said: "General, we are also nervous, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor is watching us shoot arrows, our hearts are panicking." ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said, "Maybe there is a little reason for this, but the other ninety-seven brothers are also nervous, why don't they miss the target?" I think that nervousness is not the real reason why you miss the target, the real reason is that you are too proud and complacent, usually you are the target of the arrow, so you have the intention of underestimating the enemy, I tell you, if you can't even withstand this pressure, then you will always be only worthy of being a small soldier in this life, but if you resist the pressure, you are all lieutenants and generals, and even among you there are generals, I am by no means indiscriminate encouragement, I Li Qingan is using the strictest means to train you, as long as you can pass the training, what is the position of captain for you, can be dismissed. ”

"General, we understand, we will never make another mistake."

"Good! I'm looking forward to it. ”

Li Qing'an jumped on a boulder and said loudly to everyone: "Today's review, let His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty come to appreciate the most powerful marksmanship camp in the world, brothers, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes!" Hundreds of people roared.

"Very good, I am more confident than you, now go to breakfast, feed me all, and nourish my spirits!"
