Chapter five hundred and forty-two: time and place
Pity is one thing, but this Ganlu Palace is not a place to sleep. His Majesty Li Er signaled Deyi to come forward to wake up Xuan Shijing, stood aside and looked at Xuan Shijing.
Xuan Shijing felt someone shaking him. He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that Deyi was in front of him. Since Deyi had arrived, His Majesty Li Er must have been in the hall. Xuan Shijing, who had reacted, immediately stood up, patted the dust on his body, and bowed to His Majesty Li Er who was standing aside.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "No gift, look at you so tired, why did you train for the whole night last night?"
Xuan Shijing scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty also knows that since Xiao Chen knew that the three hundred soldiers under him were going to compete with the Xuanjia Army, he has worked diligently to train the soldiers under him to not be slackened. Time is tight. If you don't seize the time, wouldn't Xiao Chen lose very ugly?"
"Hmph, you kid is a little self-aware." His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Tell me, come to the palace to meet me today, but I have already decided to compete with the Xuanjia Army?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Xuan Shijing slapped over with a light flattery: "The day after tomorrow, the army will swear to go to war. If you don't have any comparison, I'm afraid it's too late. Today, I come to the palace to meet you in the palace. In addition to the competition, I also want to ask for something from Your Majesty."
"Oh? What do you want?" His Majesty Li Er asked curiously.
His Majesty Li Er knew everything about the matter in the village in Dongshan County these days. Everything was self-sufficient. Even the blacksmiths in Chang'an City were taken by them to rebuild their armor and weapons. It was time for this kid to come to the palace and say that there was a shortage of things, so His Majesty Li Er could not be curious.
"Three hundred war horses and three hundred crossbows, the rest, I will find a way to get the rest." Xuan Shijing bowed and said.
"You really dare to tell me what the rest is? I don't know what else can you do to get the rest without you." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile. This lion asked for these things at once. Is it possible to have such crossbows just by wanting them?
"If Your Majesty believes in me, on the battlefield, me will allow these three hundred palace soldiers to achieve the effect that three thousand elite soldiers cannot achieve." Xuan Shijing bowed and said.
"You have nothing to say, tell me what reason should I use to believe you? If you say you want it, I will give it to you. Have you ever thought about whether it is fair to the soldiers of other battalions?" His Majesty Li Er asked back.
"Then I can only say that I would like to ask Your Majesty to see the competition between the soldiers of Dongshan County and the Xuanjia Army tomorrow!" Xuan Shijing said.
"It seems that you are very confident." His Majesty Li Er smiled.
"I dare not underestimate myself, I can only say that I have done my best. I want to ask Your Majesty to set the location of the competition in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs. Liaodong has many mountains and forests. If it is said that it is dangerous, there is no suitable place near Chang'an City. The mountains and forests and the royal hunting ground in the eastern suburbs are just right. This competition is not hunting, so I think it is not impossible to place the location of the competition in the depths of the hunting ground." Xuan Shijing bowed and said.
Although the Dongjiao Hunting Ground is a royal hunting ground. When the royal relatives go to hunt, there will be imperial guards from the side to protect their safety, but it is only on the periphery of the hunting ground. The reason why there are not many dangers on the periphery is that the beasts on the periphery have been driven to the depths of the jungle by the imperial guards. The location of the competition is set in the depths of the hunting ground. In addition to the artificial difficulty of the competition, it also adds an irresistible natural factor to both sides.
Xuan Shijing would also drag both sides into the jungle when he was trying to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Then these three hundred palace soldiers do not have to face the sharp momentum of the Xuanjia Army head-on, and it can also use the survival experience gained by these three hundred palace soldiers in the Qinling Mountains.
This is also one of the reasons why Xuan Shijing would spend time to take people to the Qinling Mountains to train before this.
"Although the venue is fine, how can we compare the rules?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
Regarding Xuan Shijing's proposal to place the competition in the Royal Hunting Ground in the East Suburbs, His Majesty Li Er didn't think it was anything. It was the same wherever he competed. Anyway, the two armies were fighting, and it was the same wherever he fought. The three hundred soldiers were "new soldiers". Even if they had some advantages, the Xuanjia Army could handle it. They bully the small with the big and the strong with the weak. Why didn't the Xuanjia Army take advantage?
"Your Majesty, let the three hundred palace soldiers and the three hundred Xuanjia Army enter the depths of the hunting ground together. In addition, three hundred imperial guards can be sent to the hunting ground at the same time. The three hundred palace soldiers and the three hundred Xuanjia Army are not allowed to attack the imperial guards and confront them under the inspection of the imperial guards. If anyone on one side is discovered and captured by the imperial guards, who will automatically be eliminated. At the same time, the two sides will "fight" in the jungle. The weapons are all made of wood and covered with white ash. The person who is hit will have white ash on his clothes, which is considered to be eliminated. With three hours as the deadline, the gold will be withdrawn. Whoever has the remaining number of people on both sides will win." Xuan Shijing told His Majesty Li Er about the competition system.
After listening to the competition system, His Majesty Li Er nodded repeatedly. This competition was quite interesting. The two sides fought under the surveillance and hunting of third parties, which increased the difficulty. The Imperial Guard is in the position of absolute safety dominant. Whether the two sides can escape the pursuit of the Imperial Guard and the other party directly reflects their hidden means in the jungle. The hunting ground in the eastern suburbs is large enough to accommodate more than 900 people fighting in the hunting ground.
"The competition you mentioned is very interesting. I am sure. I will issue an order to inform the Xuanjia Army. Let them prepare immediately. You should go back quickly and let your three hundred soldiers prepare well. As for the war horses and crossbows you want, as long as you can win the Xuanjia Army in this competition, so that everyone can find any excuses and can't say anything to object, I will give you all! In this case, I will wait and see, don't let me down." His Majesty Li Er stepped forward and patted Xuan Shijing on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go back and prepare now, I will take my leave." Xuan Shijing bowed and bowed.
He informed His Majesty Li Er of the time, location and method of the competition. The rest was Xuan Shijing waiting in the camp for the Ministry of War to send a notice. He returned to the Dongshan Marquis Mansion for the time being. Xuan Shijing was about to cover his head and sleep. He worked all night last night, but at this time, he really couldn't stand it anymore. The subsequent things could not be changed by Xuan Shijing's efforts, so it's not harmful to take a break in his busy schedule.
