Chapter 258 Exercise
I do know that Li Zheng is recruiting a group of trilogy, but they are all villagers.

I didn't pay much attention to it at all, Li Zheng is the county marquis and the general of the Longwu Army, some of the moves are normal.

Li Ke brought the three of them to a training place.

"Father, the exercise is about to start, and the time for us to come is just right." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Exercise? Is it another famous trick created by Li Zheng?"

Li Ke smiled and said: "Li Zheng stipulated that the exercise should be held once a month to test how well these soldiers have learned. The winning team can eat pork at night."

Li Shimin looked at the village guards at the bottom of the mountain who didn't even wear battle armor, and sat down confidently, "I want to see what kind of soldiers Li Zheng trained."

Marching and fighting Li Shimin considers himself an expert. When the Central Plains was in chaos and the world was pacified, he fought everywhere.

I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time.

The guards were divided into two groups of 50 each, one in white and one in black.

They are all preparing for each other, and they can be seen from the mountainside at a glance.

Li Shimin asked Li Ke: "The so-called exercise is a pair training?"

"Well, but it's not a real knife or a gun."

Li Shimin listened to Li Ke's explanation and nodded.

Li Ke went on to say: "This time it is to rescue a person. White wants to rescue a person under Black's strict defense, but White doesn't know where Black put the hostage."

With the sound of three drums, Li Ke whispered to Li Shimin, "It's started."

Black's men retreated very quickly into the woods.

Looking at the scene, Li Shimin thought that the two sides had started fighting, depending on the force and skill.

This is the case in general military training.

The guards in this Jingyang village are a novelty.

Instead, Li Zheng didn't let them fight head-on.

Looking at the battle situation below, Black's manpower quickly retreated, while White's manpower was also not in a hurry, as if they were still planning something.

Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "Which side do you think will win?"

"I thought it was black."

"I bet White will win."

"I bet all the money, and the black side will win." Du Ruhui said.

Bai Fang's men started to move. Instead of walking through the open area, they went around and entered through the woods on the side.

Looking at their weapons, they are all wooden knives, bows and arrows, and even the bows and arrows have no arrows.

"Are your guards so poor? They don't even have decent weapons."

Li Ke scratched his scalp and smiled awkwardly: "It's not that you can't buy ironware, you can only make do."

"After this exercise, I will allow you to have five hundred soldiers in Jingyang," Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, father." Li Ke quickly saluted.

The woods are very dense, but you can see people running from the heights.

A white man had a trap in his hand, and one foot was caught in a rope and hung in mid-air.

More than a dozen of White's hands were captured by Black in succession. Li Shimin's expression was tense, and he was sweating seeing Bai's falling into traps one after another.

A burst of thick smoke ignited, several places in the woods were ignited, and white smoke filled the woods.

Li Shimin asked: "Can this method also be used?"

"Yes." Li Ke nodded.

In Li Shimin's heart, the chances of winning were a little higher, "Under the thick smoke, you can't see things clearly, and the people marking the black side can't immediately see clearly whether it's your own or the white side's people. This trick is used cleverly."

Half an hour later, the thick smoke dissipated, and Li Shimin saw the fighting situation clearly again.

The hands of both white and black were masked, and they were still confronting each other.

Li Ke said: "The time is almost up, Bai Fang still has two hours."

Li Shimin looked at the situation in front of him, and just when he thought that the stalemate would last for a long time, one of Bai Fang's men came out of the woods with the hostage in hand.

"This..." Fang Xuanling looked at the situation in surprise and said, "You found it so quickly?"

Du Ruhui also said: "There must be a traitor on the black side."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke who was on the side.

There should be no traitors, Li Shimin thought deeply. When the smoke is rising, it is not good for black, but it is also more bad for white.

If you can't see things clearly, you can't see those traps and ambushes.

Something must have happened while the smoke was rising.

There must be some trickery in this.

Li Shimin said: "I called him here to ask how he did it."

Li Ke asked the man to come closer.

Xue Rengui stood up straight, "The mission of the instructor is completed."

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he glanced at Li Shimin and Fang Du, the three strangers.

Li Ke asked: "How did you find this hostage?"

"The black team has staff to protect the hostages. Once a fire breaks out, they will first go back to check if something will happen to the hostages. You can know the clues by watching their manpower transfer."

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Li Shimin smiled and said, "This is a good move."

This is the art of war, to win by resourcefulness, not by brute force. The more Li Shimin looked at this person in front of him, the more he liked him, "What's your name?"

"I'm Xue Rengui!"

"Xue Rengui?" Li Shimin asked again: "Are you interested in joining the army?"

"This...I'm afraid I can't agree to it." Xue Rengui said: "Now His Majesty has a decree, and I will hand it over to the Marquis of Jingyang County. Now I am a member of the County Marquis."

"..."

Xue Rengui?No wonder it sounds familiar, isn't this the person Li Zheng asked me for at the beginning?
At that time, I thought of the names of those people Li Zheng wanted, except for the rest of the court, I had never heard of them.

Without thinking too much, I handed it over to Li Zheng.

Almost forgot.

Li Shimin really wanted to say that I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now he wants to take it back.

But he is the emperor and it is not easy to go back on his word.

Li Shimin blushed and said, "It's none of your business, just step back."

Xue Rengui saw Li Ke's expression.

Leave under Li Ke's signal.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Du Ruhui took out some money and said, "It seems that His Majesty won the bet."

Li Shimin's old face was dark, even if he won the bet, he was very unhappy.

Fang Xuanling coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Well... the family's cheapest is in charge of the money, and I will hand it over to His Majesty when I get home."

Leaving the camp, Li Shimin stopped after taking a few steps, "You said that Li Zheng is a young man with great skills, why didn't he become an official in the court?"

Fang Du and the two also looked at each other silently.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky, "God is really blind, and all his abilities have fallen on such a person."

Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng is indeed a rare talent. Presumably, as long as he is well persuaded, he will work for Jiangshan Sheji."

"Yes." Du Ruhui also nodded.

After speaking, Li Shimin turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Xuanling followed in a few steps, "Is Your Majesty not going to see Li Zheng? Maybe..."

"Do I still ask him to be an official?"

Li Shimin walked faster and faster.

Fang Du and the two also shook their heads and sighed, so they had to leave.

Jingyang Village
Many strong laborers have gone back to plow the fields, and the road construction project can only be put on hold until the Grain Grain season is over.
