Chapter 224
Li Jing looked at Xue Rengui in surprise, he had never heard the name Xue Rengui before.
"Having such a talented person is really a blessing to Tang Dynasty." Li Jing praised.
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said, "Boy Lin, Xue Rengui doesn't seem to have any official position yet? Let him come to this old man, and I will give him a school lieutenant."
"Fart, if you want to come, you will come to Youwuhouwei." Yu Chigong said unwillingly.
Who doesn't want a talent like Xue Rengui.How could he not fight for it.
Lin Xuan was in a bit of a dilemma. Don't give it to him. Since he has a low official position, there is no way to give Xue Rengui an official position.
If so, who will train this army?
"Okay, we'll talk about this later!" Li Shimin said.
Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong looked at each other, knowing that Xue Rengui might be taken by Li Shimin.
An hour later, the military drill was over.
Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the military formation drill is over."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let the soldiers go down to rest first."
"Your Majesty, what about the army that I trained?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
He promised the soldiers that he would get the military salary in the future, and Li Shimin still needs to pay for this money.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "At the moment, it's pretty good. I just don't know what will happen in the battlefield."
Although this army is still not comparable to the top troops of Datang, those troops have only achieved it after long-term training and the baptism of the battlefield.
Lin Xuan trained this army for only a few months, and these people have never even been on the battlefield.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is worried that they have nothing to show for it. How about arranging a competition, whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know if you take it out for a walk."
"Competition? How do you want to compete?" Li Shimin became interested.
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty will send 3000 people from any camp, and your ministers will send out 1000 people for a competition. Of course, you can only choose those who entered the camp around the same time as them and have never been on the battlefield."
He hasn't conceited that after a few months of training, he can defeat those elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield.
No matter how well trained an army is, it can't compare to those elite soldiers who have fought on the battlefield.
Some things cannot be compensated by training.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, and said, "One thousand is against three thousand, are you so confident?"
Lin Xuan said to himself: "If I don't even have this little confidence, I will betray His Majesty's trust."
Although the number of people fighting is important, they are all soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, and the training time is about the same. What is he afraid of.
He still didn't believe it. After several months of training, 1000 soldiers could not defeat [-] soldiers who were usually trained.
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I also think this proposal is very good."
In any case, these people led by Lin Xuan are all people led by him on the left.
One thousand beats three thousand, it is glorious to win, but not ashamed to lose.
Of course he supported such a long-faced thing.
"In this case, let's have a competition, let me see if the troops trained after spending so much money are worth it." Li Shimin nodded and said.
"Haha, who among you would like to send someone to compare?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Yu Chigong and the others proudly.
Yu Chigong and the others are not stupid. Three thousand beats one thousand. They feel that they will not lose, but it is not honorable to win.Therefore no one speaks.
Seeing that no one spoke, Cheng Yaojin was even more proud, and said, "Why, are you worried that you won't be able to beat him? How about you offer five thousand?"
Yu Chigong and the others rolled their eyes, is this a problem that cannot be overcome?
"Your Majesty, it's too troublesome to transfer people from other places. Your Majesty has so much time to wait. There are so many people in the left leader, why don't you choose from the left leader." Yu Chigong rolled his eyes, a little malicious Said.
Cheng Yaojin became anxious, and said: "How can this work? They are all left leaders. What can be compared to them?"
"Why, are you scared?" Yuchi Gong asked.
How could Cheng Yaojin admit it, and said: "Are you kidding me, would I be afraid? It's just that they are all left leaders. I am worried that you will say that I cheated."
"Don't worry, so many of us have led soldiers. You can tell at a glance whether you are cheating or not." Yu Chigong said.
"This..." Cheng Yaojin was a little speechless.
Li Shimin said: "Let's choose people from the left leader, Zhijie, you can choose people."
It is indeed troublesome to transfer people to other military camps, and he also wants to quickly see the combat effectiveness of this army.
Seeing that Li Shimin had said this, Cheng Yaojin said sullenly, "Yes!"
"Ha ha…"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's appearance, the others all laughed.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going down first to prepare." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Go!"
Seeing Lin Xuan approaching, Cheng Chumo asked quickly, "How is the general? Is Your Majesty satisfied with our performance?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is quite satisfied, but after all, it's just a rehearsal, and His Majesty is a little worried that it's just a show."
"Then what should we do?" Yuchi Baolin asked.
There is no battle now, and there is no way to prove it.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think His Majesty proposed a competition, and His Majesty has already agreed."
"That's right, you'll know if it's going to work after a test." Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin agreed.
Qin Huaidao was calmer than them, and asked, "General, how do you compare?"
Lin Xuan said: "We send out 1000 people, and the other party sends out 3000 people. Like us, they have never been on the battlefield. Do you have confidence?"
"Of course we are confident. General, leave this matter to me." Cheng Chumo said hastily.
Yuchi Baolin was not happy anymore, and said: "Why, I will go if I want to go."
This is an opportunity to show in front of Li Shimin, even Qin Huaidao looked at Lin Xuan eagerly.
"I think it's better to let Chu Mo go." Lin Xuan said.
"Why did the general let him go? The people he brought are not as good as mine." Yuchi Baolin said unconvinced.
Cheng Chumo said unhappily: "Fart, how about we compete. Whoever wins will go."
"Compare, compare, whoever is afraid of whom!" Yuchi Baolin did not show any weakness.
Lin Xuan's head is a bit big, it's not as good as this, and his own people are about to fight.
Lin Xuan quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, don't make noise. We are compared with Uncle Cheng, Baolin, are you sure you want to go?"
"What... What, compared with my dad?" Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right!"
Cheng Chumo said quickly: "Then I won't go, let Baolin take this chance."
Just kidding, if he wins against his father, will he end well?
Yuchi Baolin shook his head again and again, and said, "The general asked you to go, so you should go."
He is also afraid, with so many people, if Cheng Yaojin loses face, can Cheng Yaojin not deal with him?
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. He was scrambling just now, but now he is humble.
"Go silently this time, this is an order!" Lin Xuan said.
He asked Cheng Chumo to go, and he thought about it for a long time.
Cheng Yaojin must lose face if he loses.
Let Cheng Chumo go, and when Cheng Yaojin loses, he can still fight Cheng Chumo to calm down, how nice it is.
"Yes!"
Seeing what Lin Xuan said, Cheng Chumo could only respond.
Soldiers have obeyed orders as their bounden duty, but not just those soldiers, they naturally have to obey.
But this is because Cheng Chumo didn't know what Lin Xuan was thinking, otherwise he would probably fight Lin Xuan desperately.
"Chu Mo, go pick someone, remember this time you can only win but not lose!" Lin Xuan said.
He was the one who proposed the competition, if he lost, wouldn't he lose face?
……
Half an hour later, the two sides were ready.
1000 people on one side and 3000 people on the other side stood on both sides of the school field.
Since it is a competition, swords cannot be used naturally, so the soldiers are holding sticks in their hands.
The army usually also competes internally, and there is no shortage of these things.
The ends of the sticks are all painted with white lime, and if there are marks on the vital parts, they will be considered dead in battle.
It's just strange that the 1000 people led by Cheng Chumo didn't even wear armor, but only clothed in civilian clothes.
Although it's more than April now, the weather is not too cold, but it's still a little cold to wear only commoner clothes.
The 3000 people on the other side were completely opposite to Cheng Chumo and the others, wearing armor and led by a small school.
This kind of competition, Cheng Yaojin will definitely not end in person.
Although it was just a competition, the one watching was Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
These soldiers all wanted to show off in front of Li Shimin, and the school field was full of chilling spirit.
