Chapter 57: Xue Rengui's Choice
Wudeden
"This is a brilliant strategy to suppress the Turks."
"You don't have to make a big deal to leave the Turks busy."
"Your Majesty, who proposed this method, and the minister will ask for credit for it."
......
Li Shimin looked at a group of subordinates who followed him to fight in the south and the north, and said one after another, and his face couldn't help but be a little weird.
At the same time, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, could it be that my father An Xuangong proposed it, so many people are not as good as a great Confucian.
Therefore, Li Shimin decided to ignore this issue for the time being, and first raised the issue of determining the candidate.
"Seven days later, a winter hunting exercise will be held, and soldiers will be selected from the sixteen prefectures to go to the grassland in early spring."
Li Shimin began to say directly, of course, there are many people in the sixteen prefectures, and it is impossible for all of them to participate in the competition, so the elite can only be selected from each prefecture.
In the face of Li Shimin's proposal, all the princes did not object, after all, if they want to complete the task of plundering the Turks, they must need brave people.
After the court discussion, Shu An also got first-hand information, which is barely a confidential matter, and it must not be passed on.
Of course, it wasn't hard for him to want to know, and that's what he had said, so it wasn't too much to ask.
At this time, Xue Rengui, who was standing in front of Shu An, was a little confused, and he didn't seem to expect that his teacher would summon him.
You must know that Xue Rengui himself has adapted to the life of the academy, and there is no delay in practicing martial arts and studying.
"Books are all about paper, but now there is an opportunity."
"It's a suggestion made by the division to His Majesty, taking advantage of Jieli's weakness to harass the grassland."
"In seven days, there will be a martial arts exercise, and the winner will get a spot, I don't know if you want to give it a try."
Shu An seemed to see the student's doubts and couldn't help but speak slowly, with a hint of sigh in his words.
Anyway, everything is according to Xue Rengui's own ideas, if he is unwilling, Shu An will not be reluctant either.
It's just that after Shu An's voice just fell, Xue Rengui's face showed a look of excitement, didn't he study martial arts and military books for so many years just to protect his family and defend the country and establish meritorious deeds.
"Teacher, benevolence is willing to go!"
Without any hesitation, Xue Rengui spoke directly, with a hint of confidence and excitement in his words.
"You must know that it is very likely to fall into the grassland this time, and the bones are not cold."
Shu An glanced at Xue Rengui deeply and said slowly, after all, he was only thirteen years old, although he was precocious in ancient times, but in front of his eyes, Xue Rengui was just a child.
"Teacher, you often teach Rengui *******, *******."
Xue Rengui's eyes were bright, he was not afraid of life and death, but had some desires.
"Maybe there are some people who are born to be famous players."
Shu An was silent and thought silently in his heart, to be honest, everyone has feelings, not to mention the existence that has accompanied him for several years.
On the one hand, he hopes that Xue Rengui can be like history, but on the other hand, there are some complications, and he doesn't want Xue Rengui to have any accidents.
After all, because of his own existence, he can be regarded as pulling out the seedlings, and finally sighed in his heart, does he count himself as making trouble for himself.
"You go with your teacher to meet someone."
Shu An finally said slowly, if he wanted Xue Rengui to participate in the competition after seven days, he didn't have the ability.
He doesn't have any influence on the side of military generals, but there is one person who has such an ability, and he happens to have a good relationship with him.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Xue Rengui said with a hint of excitement on his face, because it was obvious that his teacher agreed with him.
........
Wing Country Mansion
"Step, step!"
"Master, An Xuangong's greetings!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion couldn't help but hurriedly come to a pale-faced middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man's face is like an ancient moon, like a pale gold plating, his eyebrows are like a sharp sword into his temples, and his eyes are like pearls and stars, even if his pale complexion does not hide the edge of his body.
This person is none other than Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, but he couldn't help but be stunned in the face of this worship, and then immediately reacted.
"Please!"
"No, I'll meet it myself!"
On the other side, standing on the other side, the two of them looked different, Shu An's face was flat and calm, as if he didn't care about anything.
As for Xue Rengui's words, he was a little nervous, and his expression was very serious, because he didn't expect the teacher to take him to visit a famous general.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the Yiguo Mansion, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of Shu An and the two, and his face couldn't help but light up when he saw Shu An.
"Uncle Bao is late to welcome An Xuangong, and I ask for forgiveness."
A voice sounded with a hint of joy and a hint of respect.
"Uncle Bao was already sick, not to mention that I, An Xuan, am not an important person, what is the crime?"
Shu An also showed a smile on his face and said, if you count it, you are more familiar with Qin Qiong among all the generals.
Because he had met a few times at the beginning, and had a few words of conversation, Qin Qiong's impression on him was not shallow.
Not to mention that this time he came to ask for someone, although Qin Shubao only had the title to recuperate at home, but his influence in the military generals still existed.
Moreover, whether it is Cheng Yanjin or Wei Chi Jingde, they are both friends of Qin Shubao, and it is not difficult to win a place in the competition.
You must know that at least a few dozen people can be elected in one prefecture, and there are at least a few hundred people in sixteen prefectures, and one quota is nothing.
"An Xuangong is still the same as at the beginning, and he is invited to enter the house to talk about the old feelings."
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, his words were very respectful, and they were not strangers.
However, the last time they met was nearly ten years ago, when he had just first joined Li Tang.
At the beginning, An Xuangong was just a great Confucian, but many years later, An Xuangong turned around and became famous all over the world.
Shu An didn't hesitate, there were not many people who knew him, but there were many people who knew Qin Qiong, so he still entered the mansion to talk about it.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect Uncle Bao to be so seriously ill."
"With the concern of Lao An Xuangong, Rong Ma has fallen into an old problem all his life."
"The old man came with a bottle of medicinal wine, and I hope Uncle Bao will not refuse."
.....
After sitting down, Shu An's voice began to sound, and then the two began to catch up, with a lot of sighs.
The famous generals of the year are like beauties in the twilight, after all, they are no longer in the glory of the year, and with the medical skills of this era, there is not much possibility to recover.
Even Shu An couldn't change, before the crossing, he was a liberal arts student after all, not a medical student.
On the other side, Xue Rengui stood behind his teacher, listening to the two narrating the old relationship, and also had some sighs in his heart, as if he had seen a portrayal of his life.
For a titan, the battlefield is fate, and it is undoubtedly a wordless sadness to watch yourself grow old day by day.
