The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 781 Prelude to the Competition
When I woke up, it was almost dusk. At noon, because Xuan Shijing slept so soundly, Mrs. Wang came to see the situation and no one disturbed Xuan Shijing. Tomorrow, the three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County will also It was a turning point. As a general, Xuan Shijing was under a lot of pressure, so let him rest well. As for eating, he will wake up naturally when he is hungry. I have never heard of someone starving to death in his sleep.

After waking up, Xuan Shijing had a hasty meal at the mansion, said goodbye to Wang, and rode back to the camp in Dongshan County again.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the camp were still in their dreams. These days, they were all exhausted. Both in terms of mental and physical strength, they almost reached the extreme. This is what Xuan Shijing wanted. After passing this hurdle, they will undergo a qualitative change and become stronger.

The soldiers in the camp had to sleep until dinner anyway, waking them up from hunger was more energy-saving than waking them up, the soldiers were sleeping, Cheng Chumo was also sleeping, Chang Le had already woken up, seeing Xuan Shijing come back , followed Xuan Shijing to the camp, and handed over the brochure to Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, the result has come out. The third Baichang seat is Fang Shu." Chang Le handed the brochure to Xuan Shijing, and at the same time informed Xuan Shijing of the result.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Very well, tomorrow is the competition with the Xuanjia Army. I entered the palace this morning and told His Majesty about the matter. The venue and method of the competition have also been determined. At this time, His Majesty's will should also be It has already been distributed to the Xuanjia Army's barracks."

Chang Le nodded: "Not only the Xuanjia Army, but we here also received the documents from the Ministry of War. Tomorrow morning, at Maoshi, all members will go to the Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground to gather. The venue and method of the competition are what you came up with, Lord Hou." ?” Chang Le asked while sitting opposite Xuan Shijing.

"En." Xuan Shijing responded: "The location and method are quite favorable for us, but the difficulty of the competition is not small. Before the confrontation between the two sides, another three hundred imperial forest troops were added. For the imperial forest army , whether it is our [-] government soldiers or the [-] Xuanjia army, they are all their prey."

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Shijing explained the specific game methods to Chang Le one by one. After a while, when the soldiers woke up and had dinner, these words still needed to be relayed to them.

After listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Chang Le was puzzled and said: "Master Hou, why did you add three hundred Imperial Forest Army? In this way, although the Xuanjia Army is also included, our people have also become their targets. Isn't it?"

"The main purpose of letting the Imperial Forest Army join in is to distract the Xuanjia Army, and let the Xuanjia Army start to get nervous after entering the field. And our people, don't forget, they just came back from the Qinling Mountains. Compared with the Qinling Mountains, the terrain of the hunting grounds in the suburbs is insignificant. Even with the pursuit of the Imperial Forest Army, our people will be easier to deal with after adapting to the Qinling Mountains, while the Xuanjia Army has no such aspect. experience, so the scale of victory has tilted a little bit to our side, for this competition, we must win, and only if we win can we get His Majesty's approval to dispatch the crossbows and war horses from the Ministry of War." Xuan Shijing explained.

Chang Le nodded half-understood, thinking in his heart, maybe it is not a bad thing for the Imperial Forest Army to join in as Lord Hou said.

The three hundred government soldiers in the camp slept for a long time. After coming back in the morning, they went back to sleep in the tent after eating, and they slept until the middle of the night.

Even at night, it was necessary to ensure that these people had enough food and drink to have the strength to cope with tomorrow's competition.

The morning sun had just risen, Xuan Shijing came out of the tent, washed his face with cold water to wake up, had breakfast with a kind of soldier, and then the whole team, with three hundred soldiers, rushed to the eastern suburbs hunting ground.

Today's Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground is very lively. It is much more lively than usual when the royal family hunts here. If they come to hunt on weekdays, they are surrounded by the third and outer third floors of the Imperial Forest Army, but today, the Xuanjia Army, Dongshan The soldiers from the county and the Royal Forest Army from the imperial palace all assembled in this eastern suburb hunting ground. The number of people who came must have been no less than 500 people. There were already 900 people who just entered the field for competitions. Those who inquired about news for the emperor and ministers outside, those who waited around His Majesty Li Er's Luanjia, and those who escorted and escorted them all had a lot of style.

The leaders of the three parties participating in the competition all gathered in front of His Majesty Li Er, Li Ke, Xuan Shijing, and one was the commander of the Royal Forest Army.

"Today's game, although it is a game between us soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I still hope that each of you can go all out and show the best level to deal with this game, especially Keer. The Xuanjia Army led by him and the Dongshan County soldiers trained by Jinger, as for the Imperial Forest Army, are also responsible for patrolling and protecting the secrets of the palace city, let me see if the Imperial Forest Army is different from others!" His Majesty Li Er These words inspired the fighting spirit of the three parties. There is no doubt that this competition is a battle of honor for the three parties.

Among them, the most relaxed one is probably the three hundred soldiers led by Xuan Shijing, because winning or losing for these soldiers, there is no substantial loss except that they cannot get the established horses and crossbows. For reputation, if there were no such supplies, Xuan Shijing would have hoped to hit these soldiers, because only failure would allow people to recognize the gap between themselves and others, and would be able to stimulate their fighting spirit to fight and forge ahead.

As for the Xuanjia Army and the Yulin Army, one is the emperor's pro-army, and the other is the emperor's guards. Just mentioning their names scares people to death. This kind of reputation is also a kind of honor, an honor that must be kept even if you risk your life. Therefore, this battle was undoubtedly extremely tough for the three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County, enough to force them to try their best to "survive" in the hunting ground.

After His Majesty Li Er finished speaking to the three leaders, the three returned to their respective teams.

"Xuanjia army listens to the order!" Li Ke stood in front of the Xuanjia army, which was covered tightly in black armor, and shouted loudly: "When you enter the hunting ground, everything depends on you. Remember, your goal is, Within three hours, I guarantee that I will not be eliminated! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" Xuanjiajun's response was also sonorous and forceful, revealing incomparable self-confidence, and the victorious momentum soared straight into the sky.

"The Imperial Forest Army listens to the order!" The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, like Li Ke, stood in front of the army and said, "We are the hunters in this competition. Don't lose the name of the Imperial Forest Army. There is only one word: kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
