Turbulent Times Chapter 1349: Li Yuan’s concern

Li Jiancheng's heart trembled when he heard the words. He is the heir of Tang Guogong, and now he is doing the work of Changshi in Taiyuan County. How can he not think of the seriousness of the matter? Dugu Huai'en said in a low voice: "What happened? I'll send someone to invite my father over."

Dugu Huai'en also knew Li Jiancheng's status in Tang Guogong's mansion, and said in a low voice: "His Majesty the Emperor has visited Pingliang County in the north, and after visiting Wuyuan County in the next step, it is very likely that he will come to Taiyuan County. Under the plan of the second uncle, the emperor has turned the target of the prophecy to Wang Junlin, but you still have to be cautious, don't be careless, now that your majesty can't deal with Wang Junlin, he is annoyed in his heart, and he will probably vent his anger on you."

"Who called our surname Li!" Li Jiancheng smiled wryly and said, "It's just that the emperor has always been suspicious. I heard that his personality is becoming more and more strange and unpredictable. I'm afraid that he may not really turn the target of the prophecy. Wang Junlin."

The two of them were talking and walking towards the courtyard. Li Jiancheng had already called a follower and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The servant immediately rode to the military academy grounds to invite Li Yuan.

…

…

The military academy field in Taiyuan County is located at the foot of the south hill outside the city.

The 16,000 soldiers from both sides stood in more than a dozen large square formations, divided into two armies of the enemy and us to simulate a battle. This kind of actual combat training method was learned from Wang Junlin's Far East Army. After Taiyuan, many good practices learned from Fanyang County and the Far East Army were implemented in the military and politics of Taiyuan County.

At this time, Li Shimin led 6,000 elite soldiers trained by him to fight against 10,000 county soldiers.

The sound of drums and shouts of killing shook the sky. Groups of cavalry galloped horizontally and vertically under the guidance of the command flag. The two armies fought fiercely. Commander Lang is actually Li Yuan's confidant, named Hou Junji.

On a wooden platform more than ten feet high, Li Yuan led a group of his confidants and staff to watch the two armies' confrontation training with calm eyes.

Bian Chang Sun Shunde shook his head and said: "General Hou Junji's rear army was too hasty to invest, and he didn't see that the second son was pretending to be defeated. He lost this battle."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I don't think so!"

"Shimin is too tolerant, and his morale is worn down by him. It is still unknown who will have the last laugh."

On the other side, Chen Yinshou chuckled and said, "Mr. Tang may have forgotten that this is just a so-called simulated confrontation. The only difference is physical exhaustion. There is a difference in morale, so Hou Junji will definitely lose."

Sure enough, as the sound of drums became denser, Li Shimin commanded 6,000 elite soldiers to launch a counterattack, which was extremely fierce.

'When! when! when! ’ The bell for the withdrawal of troops rang, and the confrontation training between the two sides was over. Li Shimin led the 6,000 elite soldiers and cheered, while the 10,000 county soldiers were downcast and had no momentum. Hou Junji was even more ashamed.

However, Li Shimin came to Hou Junji on horseback. Without waiting for the latter to salute, he took the initiative to salute and said loudly: "Shimin thank General Li for his mercy. It was a deliberate concession."

When Li Shimin spoke, his expression was sincere. Hou Junji knew that he had not given in, and felt more and more guilty, but he looked much better on the surface, and his affection for Li Shimin was greatly increased invisibly, so he quickly bowed and said, "Second young master is polite Well, the last general didn’t actually give in.”

As they were talking, the two of them went up to the high platform together, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yuan, and said in unison: "The last general will give orders to the prefect!"

Li Yuan ignored Li Shimin, but smiled at Hou Junji, "Hou Junji, do you know where you lost?"

Hou Junji is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He is actually a young general. Served as Ying Yanglang general. He is the most proficient in leading troops and training soldiers among Li Yuan's cronies. He also led the army and fought several battles with the Goguryeo people, so he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuan.

Hou Junji lowered his head and said with a dejected expression: "Reporting to Mr. Tang, I was too impatient. Seeing that the command flag of the second son was in the wrong position, I thought it was the opponent's chaos, and wanted to seize the flag in one go. Anti

Being deceived by the second son, she was ambushed. "

Li Yuan glanced at his second son with a calm expression, smiled and said to Hou Junji: "Your judgment is not wrong. On a real battlefield, no one dares to use the misplaced command flag as a pretext for feigning defeat. If If you find that the command flag is misplaced, it must be that the opponent's position is in disarray. In this case, you can push forward and defeat the opponent, but today is not an actual battle, so the people of the world dare to use the misplacement of the command flag to confuse you. You don’t have to think that your judgment is wrong.”

Hearing this, Hou Junji felt a little better, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your teaching, Lord Tang! I will admit defeat at the end of this battle, and I will win back in a month. Against the Second Young Master."

Li Shimin clasped his fists at the right time and said, "Father, in a month's time, my son is willing to fight General Hou again."

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and said: "Then I will fulfill your wish. In a month's time, the two of you will be allowed to face each other again, and now the whole army will return to camp."

Li Shimin and Hou Junji agreed, got off the high platform and went back separately. After a while, the army assembled and began to go back to the camp one by one.

Standing in the stands, Li Yuan watched the two armies leave with a look of joy and satisfaction.

Although he knew that his second son was smart and decisive, and that he was calm and alert at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he never thought that his second son had improved so fast in the past few years. Two elite soldiers of 3,000 men were trained successively, but seeing how the second son manipulated the 6,000 men like his arms, he might have been firmly controlled by him.

Thinking of some things, Li Yuan has some hidden worries in his heart, but thinking about the current troubled times, the two sons have a civil and a martial arts, complementing each other, whether it is the family's self-protection or the competition in the world, there is a greater chance of winning.

Thinking of this, he recalled the news just received yesterday that Wang Junlin actually sent his son Li Xuanba to lead a battalion of 20,000 violent bears to the depths of the Turks, and his face darkened.

Although Li Yuan is an outstanding person in the world, he never imagined that the Turkic army was about to go south. He naturally thought that this was Wang Junlin's plan to kill people with a sword. , this is clearly a narrow escape, or even a certain death.
