If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 66: After the flirting, Xue's kid is in trouble now
Li An was sitting on a chair in the central military tent of the Cavalry Guard. Qin Miao, who was dressed in men's clothes, was standing behind him, massaging his shoulders.

Feng Lang stood on the other side, looking into the distance...

He really couldn't bear to look at the prince next to him!
As a prince, he actually brought a woman into the military camp.

Although Qin Miao is very good at martial arts and is dressed as a man, it is reasonable for her to be a personal bodyguard.

but……

Bringing women into the military camp is first of all a violation of the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty!
If Li Shimin knew about this, Li An would be in trouble!
Fortunately, he has followed him for some time, and he has developed a tolerance for the Sixth Prince's behavior.

If he had been in the same temper as he was three years ago, he would have walked away long ago.

Li An let Qin Miao pat his shoulders for a while, then lazily picked up a list and looked at it casually:

"Xiao Feng, you've been busy with the recruitment for several days, and you only recruited this few people?"

Feng Lang sighed:

"Although there are many young and strong men among the people, few of them meet your highness's requirements..."

After working for several days, we finally selected one hundred people, which is indeed a little less.

But there is no way, the Sixth Prince’s demands are too high!
How about running four miles and back in half an hour while carrying a load of 60 kilograms, how about riding a horse without a saddle, how about climbing a high cliff with bare hands without ropes or equipment...

Although there are many applicants, there are very few who meet Li An’s conditions!
Feng Lang personally spent several days selecting and only managed to pick out a hundred people!
Li An smiled faintly:
"My requirements are still high? You should know that I only select based on the most basic conditions. The date of departure given by my father is coming soon, and I don't have the leisure time to train them slowly!"

Li Shimin set the date for the expedition to be one month later.

Li An simply did not have enough time to train an army, so he could only raise the requirements for conscription.

Then, there is another month of intensive training on events.

Of course, this kind of training focuses more on military discipline and equipment, and other aspects can only be dealt with. At worst, the training can be continued on the way to the expedition.

Although……

According to his thoughts, these recruitment requirements were not very high, and they were still a little bit short of the special forces of later generations...

But as the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward!
Li An raised the salary of the Cavalry Guard to thirty taels per month, ten dou of rice, and twenty hectares of official land!
You know, the current salary of the government soldiers is only 17,000 coins a month, which is only 17 taels of silver. Even the monthly salary of the six officers of the Eastern Palace is only 20,000 coins!
The salary of rice is only five dou, and the official land is nine hectares!
Li An directly gave the salary of two cups, which was extremely generous.

With such a high salary, the soldiers of the Cavalry Guard must be worthy of the price!
He believed that such a high salary would naturally attract enough people to sign up, and those who were carefully selected would naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort during training.
Although it's only one month, it should be enough!
Li An looked at it nonchalantly and said:

"We have only recruited a hundred people, so the rest can only be selected from the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace and the Twelve Guards."

Feng Lang was startled:
"Your Highness, didn't the Emperor forbid you from taking the Sixth Officer of the Eastern Palace and the Twelve Guards?"

Li An rolled his eyes at him:
"Who said I want to take them all away? I just want to select some talents that I need. I don't need too many. Two hundred people are enough!"

"Two hundred people..."

Feng Lang scratched his head and started calculating in his mind.

After careful selection from the public, only one hundred people were chosen.

The Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace and the Twelve Guards are all elite soldiers, and it should not be difficult to pick out two hundred men from them.

Add to that the two hundred people Li An brought back from Lingnan, the total number is five hundred.

Only five hundred people, is that really enough?

At this moment, Feng Lang suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was more admiration and surprise in his eyes when he looked at Li An.

"Your Highness, do you want to..."

"Shh!"

Li An put his right index finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence: "Some things are better for you to know. You don't have to tell them now. Anyway, I will give the Turks and my father a big surprise when the time comes!"

Feng Lang couldn't help but smile, and even got a little excited:
"Your Highness, if these five hundred men were to form an army, I would..."

Li An understood what he was thinking before he finished speaking.

This kid wants to lead these 500-man Cavalry Guards!
"What are you thinking about!"

"These five hundred cavalry guards are my trusted troops, so they will naturally be led by me personally!"

Feng Lang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At this time, Li An smiled again:
"However, Xiao Feng, you can still serve as the deputy commander!"

Feng Lang was overjoyed and immediately bowed down:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li An waved his hand, signaling him to stand up, but his hand froze in mid-air just as it was halfway up. His eyes suddenly stared at a name on the list, his eyes widened:
"This one……"

Feng Lang stood up and followed Li An's gaze, only to see a name clearly written in the second line of the list:
Xue Rengui!
He couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Does Your Highness know this person?

Li An's breathing suddenly became a little rapid, and he slammed the table:
"Send him to me at once!"

Feng Lang couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems that His Highness does know this person.

But, it shouldn’t be like this!
This Xue Rengui is only seventeen years old now. Although he is about the same age as Your Highness, he has always lived in Hedong.

His Highness had been living in the palace before, and went directly to Lingnan three years ago.

There shouldn't be anything in common between the two of them!

Li An sat up excitedly, gritting his teeth and looking out the door:

"You little brat, I actually found you! Let's see where you can run to!"

Feng Lang felt heavy-hearted when he heard this.

My goodness, it seems that this Xue guy has offended Your Highness quite badly!
Looking at His Highness's expression, it seems as if he wants to eat him alive!
He hesitated for a moment:
"Your Highness, do you really want to summon Xue Rengui alone?"

Li An snorted and said loudly in an unquestionable tone:
"Of course I am, you think I'm kidding!"

Feng Lang sighed.

He felt that he needed to admonish the Sixth Prince.

He had seen this Xue Rengui before, after all, he was a talent selected by him personally.

This kid is not only tall and strong, but also proficient in riding and shooting. He can climb rocks with bare hands and carry a heavy load for four miles back and forth, and he completed the tasks without any obstacles, better than any other soldier!

It would be a pity if such a talent were to die in the hands of the Sixth Prince...

"Your Highness, if Xue Rengui offends Your Highness, Your Highness does not have to..."

Before Feng Lang finished speaking, Li An glared at him:
"He didn't offend me, but he will offend many people!"

He emphasized:
"I want you to bring this Xue kid to me right now, right now, right now!"

When Feng Lang heard this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Finished teasing!

Now, this kid named Xue is in trouble!
