Chapter 27: Child's Play

Li Jinglong looked at the strong troops around him with anticipation, more than 500 people were divided into five armies, front, center, left and right, except for the Chinese army, each army was 100 people, and everyone in the queue was as immobile as nails, which could be described as well-trained and high morale.

Like a miniature version of the Ming army, there is a clear distinction between the various armies, with swords, guns, clubs, swords, halberds, hooks and forks, knives and axes, spearmen, shield hands, and so on. Of course, all the weapons are wooden, and there is also a lack of the firearms battalion of the Ming army.

Li Jinglong's father died early, his father was the nephew of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the righteous son, the famous general Li Wenzhong of the Ming Dynasty, one of the few royal relatives of the old Zhu family, Li Jinglong was only 14 years old when Li Wenzhong died.

When he was a child, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong was very strict with his son's teachings, because Li Wenzhong had been displaced and suffered a lot since he was a child, and he knew that it was not easy to get rich and rich.

At that time, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals were rough people who did not understand literature and ink, and Li Wenzhong was just one of the few who had read for a few days.

Father's love is like a mountain, because Li Jinglong read many military books when he was a child, practiced martial arts diligently, and laid a good foundation. But after the death of his father, Li Jinglong inherited the title of Duke of Cao Guo, a young noble, which has no parental constraints, and his frivolous temperament began to be revealed, and he likes to make friends with lustful and amorous people.

Zhu Yuanzhang liked Li Jinglong, who was a talent, and in order to train him, he asked him to go to various places to train troops. Li Jinglong, who had such a valuable status, strictly trained his soldiers everywhere he went, and the generals from all over the country did not dare to disobey him at all.

There were rave reviews from all over the country, and Li Jinglong, who was more and more loved by the emperor, was extremely inflated. In his spare time, he gathered the children of wealthy families in the capital to talk about the art of war and practice his family together, which made his fame even louder.

Today's opportunity is rare, it is against the same generation of the dignified Xu family, if the battle is won, who among the younger generation will compete?

Li Jinglong, who had this thought, was suddenly full of ambition, he was only twenty-four years old this year, and he had been suffering from not having the opportunity to lead the troops into the battle, although this time it was purely a battle of will between young people, he still decided to completely defeat his opponent with a thunderous momentum.

Compared with the strict battle here, the Xu family on the opposite side is inevitably a little loose, and it is almost like yesterday's majesty. Xu Jingzhi and Xu Wen and Xu Song waited for most of the night, lacking sleep, yawning one by one, and standing crookedly.

A lot of people who came to see the excitement gradually gathered around the church, probably due to the influence of the atmosphere of slaughter, and not as elated as yesterday.

Suddenly, a steward from the Xu family's camp ran over, trotted all the way to the opposite side, and Li Jinglong, who was riding on a horse, waved his hand lightly and ordered his men to let him go.

The steward was a middle-aged man, trotting over and bowing, with a smile on his face: "Meet Lord Cao Guogong, the little one is ordered by the two bosses of my family to come and ask for advice." ”

Li Jinglong raised his head and glanced at the bright banner opposite, and said with a smile: "Let me guess, one of the bosses is the prince of the Yan Palace, and the other is Xu Jingqin, the eldest young master of your Xu family, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The steward nodded repeatedly, and complimented: "My lord is really clever, and I guessed it right at once." ”

Li Jinglong smiled faintly, and his expression turned serious: "Don't talk nonsense, what is your young master trying to say?" ”

The steward smiled: "It's the one who has a small life to ask, whether it's Wenbi or Wubi." ”

Cao Gongzi, who suffered a big loss yesterday, said sharply when he heard this: "Don't fuck nonsense, you hurry back and tell them to come out and die, Lao Tzu will avenge yesterday's revenge." ”

Li Jinglong was suddenly displeased, frowned and said: "You want to take revenge yourself, forgive Li for not accompanying you." ”

Wang Tong, the eldest son of the Dingyuan Marquis family, hurriedly started a round and said: "Brother Cao, shut up, our brothers should obey the military order if Brother Li is the commander, and no one is allowed to intervene without the permission of the commander." ”

"It's my fault, Brother Li, don't mind." The menacing Cao Gongzi became a good baby and immediately admitted his mistake.

"It's okay, they're all my own brothers." Li Jinglong gained face, turned his anger into joy, and asked with a smile: "How is Wenbi, what about Wubi?" ”

The steward smiled and said: "Wenbi is a heads-up of five people on each side, three wins in five battles, and the losing side kowtows to the winning side to admit mistakes." ”

"Humph!" Li Jinglong didn't even look around at the guys who were eager to try, and immediately rejected this proposal, bullshit! I came all the way with so many people just to watch a show? Besides, what age is it, and you still play such childish tricks.

The steward observed the words, and hurriedly said: "Wubi is to simulate the real battlefield, and there will be a war duel between men. ”

As soon as Li Jinglong heard this, although it sounded really fresh, what kind of simulation and what kind of duel. However, it can also be said to be in the middle of the hand, if the two sides fight like a playful idler, even if they win, it will be disgraceful, what he wants is to transfer troops to each other and give full play to their strengths, so as to prove their ability to command.

"That's exactly how it should be, you say." Li Jinglong was satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This." The steward smiled bitterly: "The small one is a messenger, my family said, if the martial arts competition still needs the two sides to carefully discuss the rules, sit down and discuss slowly." ”

"Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be a mess." Li Jinglong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then you go back and tell the truth, just say that a certain agrees to the martial arts competition, and each side sends three people to discuss in the open space in the middle." ”

"The little one obeys." The steward knelt down and kowtowed quickly, got up and walked away.

Li Jinglong looked around, saw that many brothers were puzzled, and said with a calm smile: "Training for a thousand days is used for a while, and the opposite side should also have this plan, this is why Wubi."

As I said before, we can't come here under the banner of personal revenge, otherwise such a large-scale private fight will be too easy to attract tongues. What's more, after we are dignified martial artists, we should face off against each other in an open and upright manner, so that the elders can see our strength, and it is a good thing for peers to learn from each other and benefit each other. ”

"Yes, yes, we are here to learn from the old Xu family, which is a great thing." Wang Tong reacted quickly and echoed loudly.

The others immediately laughed in understanding, indeed as Brother Li said, this time there are too many people, if there is no good excuse, who would dare to let go? I didn't get nosy about the imperial history and the six parts of the matter.,Afterwards, I participated in a book ruthlessly.。

"Okay, since the brothers can afford Li, then I'm not welcome to exercise the responsibility of the coach." Li Jinglong hugged his fists around.

"We obey your lordship's orders." As soon as the big guy saw it, Brother Li began to take care of the shelf, let's hurry up and learn from it.

In the face of everyone's unanimous voices, Li Jinglong's heart was greatly satisfied, he had always seemed to be playing at home, and at this moment he was finally on the stage.

He pretended to be modest and smiled in return, and then ordered with a serious expression: "Wang Tong brought someone over to discuss. In my opinion, no matter what the rules are, there must be a need for a camp. After speaking, he pointed to the distance, "Well, the terrain in that area is high, and everyone should go over and set up camp immediately." ”

As Li Jinglong gave an order, the marching drum sounded loudly, and more than 500 people rushed towards the small hillside half a mile away from the teaching ground.

Zhu Di, who was watching the battle on the mountain, saw this scene and said with a smile: "It's a plan!" It seems that this Li Jinglong is a false appearance, and he really treats it as a child's play, hehe! ”

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and anticipate the enemy's opportunities. When the enemy is outnumbered, it can be regarded as a good start, good! The old man also looked relieved and smiled.
