The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 777
Seeing the two of them like this, Xuan Shijing rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said: "If you are a hundred chief, you must be able to control your subordinates well. It is different from the team you led before, but the number one hundred and ten. In this way, after dinner in a while, the team will march back to Dongshan County in a hurry. The team of 300 people will still be divided into two teams. Who will take the seat, how?"

Fang Shu and Zhou Ji looked at each other, and then facing Xuan Shijing, they bowed their hands. This kind of competition is fair, and everyone will be convinced by the final result.

After all, the same thing, the other party is doing better than yourself, which also proves that the other party is indeed more suitable for this position than yourself.

After about a quarter of an hour, the dinner for the 300 people was finished. Xuan Shijing divided the team into two teams according to the odd and even numbers, let Fang Shu and Zhou Ji lead the team, and set off for Dongshan County.

Marching quickly at night is also a severe test for these people. They have just fought against the sky and people in the Qinling Mountains during the day, and at night, they have to spend so much energy to rush to Dongshan County.

But perhaps for the night life in the Qinling Mountains, this kind of rapid march is very comfortable. After all, there is no need to sleep at night and worry about not sleeping well.Anyway, for these people, they are used to staying up late these days.Urgent gatherings at three o'clock in the middle of the night are already commonplace.

There are horses in the temporary camp. Although they are not war horses, the more than 300 horses were collected for Xuan Shijing by the Hou family, the Cheng family, the Qin family, and the Hejian county king Li Xiaogong. Let Xuan Shijing delay the training of these people, and abruptly gathered [-] horses in and around Chang'an City. The people came out on horseback. As for the hand crossbow and other equipment, after the competition with the Xuanjia army is over, I can find a way to mention it to His Majesty Li Er.

The temporary camp was simple enough, because there was no tent at all, and it was only Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo who built a shelter from the wind and rain. Therefore, there was no need to waste time pulling out the camp, just pack up and go straight away.Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo got on their horses and chased after them.

The horses the two rode were naturally not comparable to the horses of the government soldiers. One was a purebred Dawan Horse Master given by Princess Jinyang, and the other was a serious military horse that could serve as a mount for Cheng Chumo Yes, no matter what, it is also a one-in-a-million horse.

Although it was said that the government soldiers were the first to go, it didn't take long for Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo to catch up with the two groups of people by galloping their horses. Now the distance between the two groups of people is very tight, and it is impossible to see who has the upper hand , You can only go to the camp in Dongshan County and count the number of people before you can tell the winner.

Now that the two teams were competing, Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo didn't have to wait for them. With a flick of the horsewhip, they ran straight towards Dongshan County.

At this speed, maybe you can rest for a while in Dongshan County.

Xuan Shijing didn't forget that after arriving in Dongshan County, let these government soldiers have a good rest for a day, and they will have a big competition with the Xuanjia Army the next day.

In the camp of the Xuanjia Army, Xuan Shijing and the three hundred soldiers had not returned to the camp in Dongshan County at this time, let alone others, even Li Ke, couldn't help worrying about Xuan Shijing.

It's already this time, Xuan Shijing will not forget the time, today is already June [-]th, except for today, there are only two days left, June [-]th is the swearing-in meeting, time Come on, can we still come in time?

"Your Highness, at this hour, there is still no movement in Dongshan County, and the Marquis of Dongshan has no intention of coming back. Tell me, the competition between us and the three hundred soldiers is a mystery. "

Hearing the words of the deputy general, Li Ke frowned, then shook his head: "No, the competition between the Xuanjia Army and the soldiers of Dongshan County was decided in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I also believe that Xiao Jing will definitely not escape, maybe he is pinching his time and wants to make more use of it." After that, Li Ke showed a smile: "In my king's impression, Dongshanhou, But I never do anything I’m not sure about.”

"What does the lord mean, that the Marquis of Dongshan already has the certainty of victory in this competition? Impossible, how long have those soldiers been training?" the deputy general asked in disbelief. How to train is still far behind the Xuanjia Army.

"If this king doesn't expect that, in this competition, those government soldiers want to fight against the Xuanjia army, Xiao Jing will definitely think of some strange moves, and will not confront the Xuanjia army head-on." Li Ke said: "I like to use strange moves. , and this is one of his major characteristics.”

It has to be said that Li Ke is very clear about this point, but in this competition, the initiative is not in the hands of the Xuanjia Army, but this is also good, if Xuan Shijing really thinks of something unexpected In the competition method, even if the Xuanjia army loses, it will not lose their reputation.

Facing the competition with the soldiers of Dongshan County, everything is unknown. The only thing Li Ke can do now is to train the selected three hundred Xuanjia troops more frequently, and warn them all the time, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, Don't underestimate the opponent just because the opponent is a soldier who has not been trained for a long time.

Li Ke's worries are not unreasonable. This is the reason why arrogant soldiers must be defeated.

However, what Li Ke knew was the battlefield experience of these Xuanjia troops. No matter how Xuan Shijing proposed to compete, these Xuanjia troops could use their own experience to deal with any emergencies.

"The two armies are facing each other. Maybe His Majesty and all the officials will come to see this competition. No matter how smart Dongshanhou is, he can play tricks in front of His Majesty. So you don't have to worry too much about the competition. .” The lieutenant comforted.

"This king is still afraid that the soldiers below will have the same idea as you." Li Ke smiled: "Remember, don't underestimate any opponent at any time. As a general, you don't think about winning, but worry about losing first."

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands." The deputy general clasped his fists in response.

"Go down, aren't those 300 people still training? Go over and say hello, so many days have passed, and it's the last critical moment, so you must not relax." Li Ke instructed.

"Yes, my lord."

Under the leadership of Li Ke, the Xuanjia Army drilled with great vigor, and their momentum was not inferior to the three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County. You must know that the "potential" of the Xuanjia Army was condensed from blood, and it was stronger than Xuan Shijing's. The "momentum" raised by using techniques and methods is much more solid.
