Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The military school cafeteria was just a trivial matter, and today was a rare gathering with Cheng Huailiang and the others, so Li Min didn't bring it up in person. He just kept it in mind and mentioned it to Li Xiaogong when he had time.

    Because it was Li Min's banquet, Li Jing specially gave Cheng Huailiang and the others a holiday. As a result, these people went completely crazy. They all raised their jugs and drank loudly. Li Yong, the worst drinker, was the first to get drunk, followed by Qin Huaiyu.  The others also went crazy with alcohol, and in the end even Li Jingye, the best drinker, became drunk.  .

    However, Li Min didn't drink too much. He kept smiling and talking nonsense to these drunkards. Apart from him, there was another person who was not drunk. This person was Xue Rengui. This was not because he drank the most, but because the other party had never drunk.  As soon as I came in, I kept eating Haisai like crazy and didn't even have time to drink.  And Li Min also saw Xue Rengui's big appetite for the first time, and he was indeed worthy of the title of the number one eater in the military academy.

    Li Min ordered people to send all the drunk people back to their dormitories, except for Xue Rengui. He once again ordered people to lay out a few side dishes, warm up a pot of old wine, and personally poured a glass for each other, looking at Xue Rengui's  Looking flattered, Li Min smiled slightly and said, "Rengui, you don't have to be restrained in front of me!"

    "Yes!" Although Xue Rengui answered like this, his expression was still a little nervous. Although he had not met Li Min a few times, he could feel that His Highness King Qi in front of him valued him very much. Although this kind of respect made him also  He was very happy, but he was just an ordinary person and had not made any great contributions to the court, so the attention he paid to Li Min made him feel a kind of pressure.

    Seeing that Xue Rengui was still so nervous, Li Min smiled and asked an unexpected question: "Rengui, were you full just now?"

    "Huh?"

    Li Min laughed loudly when he heard this and made a move.  Immediately, a guard brought up another roasted whole lamb. Li Min picked up the small silver knife for cutting meat and divided the meat for him personally. Although Xue Rengui was trembling with excitement, he still took the lamb and ate it generously until the end.  When you finally feel full.  Only then did Li Min drink three large bowls of strong liquor with the other party.  Then the two looked at each other and laughed.

    "Brother Xue, what are your plans for the future?" Li Min put down the wine bowl and asked without any worries.

    "Your Majesty, Xue is a penniless man, and he only joined the army to bring glory to his family." Xue Rengui answered honestly.  Although he was born into a wealthy family, his family fortunes had long since declined and he could not even afford to eat. The reason why he wanted to join the army in the first place was mainly to make a name for himself with his military exploits.  At least you don¡¯t have to worry about three meals a day.

    After hearing this, Li Min nodded secretly. This is the truth. After all, there are only a few people who are truly willing to serve the country and kill the enemy. Most people join the army to make a future for themselves, and sometimes even just to have a good meal.  meal.

    "Brother Rengui, your archery skills are unparalleled, and I also know that you are also very proficient in the art of war. If you are given a chance, you will definitely be a handsome man comparable to Duke Wei and Uncle Wang!"  Li Min said in a solemn tone.

    "This Your Highness has given you the compliment!" Although Xue Rengui was steady, his whole body trembled when he heard Li Min's compliment.  He replied in an excited tone.

    "This is not a compliment, what I said is the truth!" Li Min said with a smile. His words were indeed not exaggerated. When Li Zhi was in power.  He was victorious in all foreign campaigns, and Xue Rengui was one of the most important reasons.

    But when Li Min said this, his face suddenly became a little solemn, and he said slowly: "But Rengui, although you are handsome and talented, our Tang Dynasty is full of stars. There are many veterans who founded the country, and there are many more."  Middle-aged generals who have grown up in foreign campaigns, so if you young generation generals want to get ahead, I am afraid you will have to wait for decades."

    Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In fact, he also knew that the military academy valued him very much. After all, he was a top talent in the military academy in every aspect, and the King of Qi in front of him also tried his best to win over him. Even he  The courtyard of Yongjiafang where he lives now was indirectly gifted by His Highness Prince Qi, and now he is drinking with him in person. It can be said that he is trying his best to win over.  It can also be seen from this that if he graduates from the military academy in the future, he will definitely be reused.

    However, as His Highness the King of Qi said, the generals of the Tang Dynasty are now like clouds. He originally did not have any foundation in the court. Even if he was reused, compared with Cheng Hualiang and other generals, it is still difficult to fulfill his role.  Even if his talents are far superior to others, he will probably only be reused after the older generation of generals retire, but that will take twenty or thirty years.  Although he is only in his twenties and has the capital to wait, he still thinks that the first half of his life can beXue Rengui was also a little unwilling to be unable to become the top general of the Tang Dynasty.

    Looking at the other party's thoughtful face, Li Min smiled secretly in his heart. Xue Rengui looked loyal on the outside, but he was actually an extremely smart man. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the top generals of the early Tang Dynasty who was as skilled in military use as a god. Even if such a person had nothing at the beginning  Ambition, but as long as he is given a chance to realize how valuable he is, he will develop corresponding ambitions like others, and Li Min can just take advantage of this and slowly make this  A future famous general of the Tang Dynasty was sled away.

    "Rengui is stupid, please point out a clear way for His Highness!" While Xue Rengui was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Li Min in front of him looking at him with a smile. Thinking about His Highness's various deeds, his heart moved and he immediately  He stood up and bowed.

    Although Xue Rengui didn't say it clearly, there was already a hint of surrender in his words. After all, he also knew that the King of Qi in front of him gave up the throne and chose a path of outward expansion. On this path, he would definitely need an invincible army.  army, and the other party may have taken a fancy to him. This is a huge opportunity. After all, compared to the Tang Dynasty where the generals are gathered, His Highness the King of Qi has too few people available.

    What Li Min was waiting for was this sentence from the other party. However, Li Min did not intend to accept Xue Rengui now. Instead, he said with a smile: "Brother Rengui, your future is in your own hands. Now you only need to study hard in the military academy."  Learn the art of war, and when you and I meet again, it won¡¯t be too late for you to make a decision!¡±

    Xue Rengui was a little surprised by Li Min's answer, but he didn't ask any more questions. Then the two of them toasted and drank, chatting lively until midnight, when the two of them were so drunk that they lost consciousness. Even Li Min didn't even answer.  The palace doesn¡¯t even know.

    Li Min wants to leave Chang'an, which cannot be prepared in a day or two. It will take a long time just to say goodbye to his elders and friends in Chang'an City, plus there are other trivial matters, which is enough to make Li Min  He was so busy that he even had less time to spend with his daughter Chou Chou.

    But even though he was so busy, Li Min was not busy looking for Li Xiaogong. He brought up the bad food at the general school and hoped that something could be changed.  However, personal friends were personal friends, and Li Xiaogong was very insistent on the rules he had set in the military academy. As for the opinions of Li Min, a junior, they were not taken seriously at all.

    Li Min had no way to deal with this stubborn Uncle Wang, but fortunately Li Xiaogong was only one of the two vice-principals of the military academy, and there was also Li Jing who could be used. So Li Min found Li Jing again, and finally convinced him, and then he  Li Shimin, who was the principal, was invited to come out, and finally Li Xiaogong took a step back and agreed to improve the food at the military academy.

    However, Li Min came up with another idea, that is, after improving the food in the military academy, a wilderness survival project can be added to the military academy, allowing participating students to bring a few simple tools and then throw them into a place with a harsh environment.  It requires how many days they must survive, and each person can carry a few flares made of fireworks. If they cannot survive, they can light them to call for help, so as to avoid death or injury.

    As soon as Li Min came up with this idea, even Li Xiaogong showed a satisfied smile. This method was indeed good. After all, no matter how terrible the food in the military academy was, it could at least satisfy his hunger. However, the survival in the wild that Li Min proposed was completely different.  Likewise, all food and drink will have to be found by the students themselves. Let alone food, they will probably have to eat even insects.  Moreover, it is far better to hone people's will in such a difficult environment than to just stay in a military academy.

    Seeing that Li Shimin agreed with the idea of ??survival in the wild, Li Min was also secretly proud. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also confirmed that the military academy cadets would be trained under him. By then, all these cadets would be sent to Dengzhou, and everything would be fine.  Follow his arrangements, but he must try his best to ensure the safety of these students. After all, these people are trained by the imperial court with great efforts and must not be used like ordinary soldiers.  Regarding these, Li Min naturally patted his chest and promised.

    But what Li Min didn¡¯t expect was that as soon as the affairs at the military academy were settled, Wu Meiniang from Dengzhou was sent to deliver a big news. This news was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, that is, the Japanese country finally joined the war.

    The last discussion between Li Min and Jin Shengman greatly reduced Dengzhou's trade support to Baekje. This allowed Silla to seize the opportunity and bring the war to Baekje in one fell swoop. Now it has captured more than ten cities, and  Baekje also showed signs of exhaustion at this time.  Under this situation, King Baekje finally made up his mind to draw Japan into this conflict.

    The news of the alliance between Japan and Baekje increased the pressure on the Silla people. They had to shrink their defense lines and take precautions at the same time. Jin Shengman sent people to Dengzhou to ask for help, hoping that Li Min could send a navy to intercept the Japanese reinforcement ships.  After all, the navy of the Tang Dynasty was more powerful than the three countries combined. As long as the sea routes were blocked, the Japanese would not be able to reach the Korean Peninsula.
