Chapter 750 Questions
On the school grounds of Chang'an Palace City...
Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the three Zhao army prisoners in front of him.
Next to Li Yuan were Pei Ji and Li Jiancheng, and next to the three Zhao army prisoners were dozens of palace guards of the Tang Dynasty. These palace guards, several serving one, were to prevent them from suddenly hurting people and injuring Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and others.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng came to the first Zhao army prisoner and frowned at Pei Ji on the side and said, "Is this a Xi person?"
Pei Ji nodded, then winked at the Tang army guard next to the Zhao army captive. The Tang army guard understood and bent his back with a knife and hit him hard: "Your Majesty asked you what you were saying, what are you teaching you just now? He was standing and slipping."
Seeing the Tang army guard put his hand on his waist, the Xi man looked angry, but he could only kneel down to Li Yuan and said, "Report to your Majesty, I am under the command of the Xi army, named Kubaxi."
Li Yuan said: "Kubaxi, you speak Chinese well."
Kubaxi raised his head and saw Li Yuan, and felt a little frightened. He thought to himself that this person is really powerful, and it seems to be more powerful than Erto's army. Kubaxi answered honestly: "Yes, our young people in the room know that Xi people can be very simple Chinese. I have been to Huaihuang Town before and have sold horses and dealt with Han people, so I speak Chinese better."
"Sold horses? How much did they sell?" Li Yuan stopped and asked.
Kubaxi immediately talked: "A better war horse can be sold for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. If it is an ordinary pack horse, it can be sold every time you go to Huaihuang Town. In addition to the money given to the owner of the pavilion, it will be no problem for your family to spend a winter."
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan seemed to talk about his business with Kuba Xixing. But suddenly said casually, "Since you don't have to worry about food and clothing, why should you help Zhao invade my Tang Dynasty?"
Seeing Li Yuan’s words turn, Kubaxi couldn’t help but tremble and looked at the mighty Tang guards on both sides. Although he was worried that he would be beheaded by the Tang soldiers for any disagreement, he still said with great pride: “Because the Emperor of Zhao is also the Khan of our wife, if it were not for him, our wife would have been annexed by the Khitans, and our wife Xi tribe was grateful for his kindness. Everyone is willing to serve him and shed blood for him!”
After Kubaxi finished speaking, he also took the initiative.
As if time had stopped for a while, Li Yuan laughed instead of angry. Li Jiancheng immediately winked at the left and right, and several Tang army guards on the side pulled out their waist knives at the same time.
The bright knife swayed, and Kubaxi was so scared that he didn't want it, but it was too late. Several people cut Kubaxi to the ground.
Sizzle!
Just like chopping meat, blood scattered all over the ground and splashed on the people on the side. The other two prisoners on the side were shocked and their faces turned pale.
Li Yuan took the scarf and wiped his hand, clicked a prisoner of Zhao army and asked gently, "Don't be afraid."
"Yes, yes. Your Majesty."
"What are you doing?"
This is a burly man. He knelt down and replied: "Report to your Majesty, I am the brother of the Bai army under Shan Xiongxin. I joined the Zhao army less than a year ago and was led by the Zheng army's brigade."
"The scout of the White Army. Are you very brave?"
Na Ke Youdi glanced at the corpse on the ground and replied: "I dare not. In front of His Majesty's power, I dare not be arrogant."
Li Yuan showed a kind smile on his face and said, "Okay. You are a Han Chinese, and you understand the truth more than a foreigner. Depending on how much etiquette you know, have you read a book?"
The burly man said, "The rule of the Zhao army is that if you want to be promoted, you must be able to read more than 1,000 literacy and understand the transfer order. Someone was the brigade leader in Zheng's army, so they were demoted to the brigade leader until Zhao's army. So if you want to be promoted, you must be able to read. So you have hired someone to teach you for half a year. Originally, someone was going to be evaluated in September this year. If you pass the assessment, you can be promoted."
"Oh?" Li Yuan asked with interest, "Is this your rule of General Shan or Zhao Jun?"
Ke Youdi said: "It is the rule of the Zhao army, and it has been like this since Huaihuang Town."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "I thought it would be the case. Shan Xiongxin is also a rough man, so how could he let his subordinates learn to read?"
Ke Youdi repeatedly called it. Li Yuan immediately said to Pei Ji beside him: "Zhao Jun teaches foreigners Chinese language and lets low-level generals read. What do you think Li Chongjiu wants?"
Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, many of my soldiers in Guanzhong are family members and powerful families. They not only learn archery and horses since childhood, but also learn to read and read. Therefore, our army does not lack brave and resourceful brigade leaders and generals. The Zhao army is different. Their source of soldiers is mostly common people, so Li Chongjiu wants his soldiers to read, because he wants to cultivate them in the future."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "I deeply believe that Pei Qing's words. Li Chongjiu really has a long-term vision. You say that Liu Heita, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others can think of this level. For generals, they are reckless, and those who are brave or not, are cowards."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan looked at the last person and asked, "What is your position?"
The man saw Li Yuan and said timidly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am the infantry archer of the Tun Guard."
Li Yuan asked, "Bowman? How many stone bows can he draw?"
The archer said, "It's almost two stones!"
Li Yuan's face changed and said, "Two stones?"
The archer knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Report to your Majesty, it's indeed two stones."
"Take two stone bows to this person and let him shoot on the school field!"
"promise."
At this moment, the Tang army guards took the bow to the Zhao army archer. The Zhao army archer was so scared that he didn't know what he did wrong. The Tang army guards threatened: "If you can't shoot, you'll chop your head."
After hearing this, the Zhao army archer realized that he was shooting three arrows in a row at the target fifty steps away from the school field, and they all hit the bull's eye.
The Tang generals watching from the side all looked solemn. Li Yuan stepped forward and said, "You do you shoot like this on weekdays?"
The Zhao Jun archer said, "Yes, but someone who practices every day is a target that is seventy steps away. Three arrows can hit two arrows! These fifty steps of target are much simpler."
"How many archers are there in your group like you?"
"There are three or five better shots than someone!"
"They all use two stone bows?"
"Yes, some mate is using a three-stone bow."
Li Yuan said to Pei Ji on the side: "A merely an ordinary Zhao army archer is actually comparable to the elite of our Northern Imperial Army. I'm afraid some generals are not as good as him."
The soldier heard Li Yuan praise him and was afraid, showing a little pride. He actually started talking: "Your Majesty, I have been in the army for three years and don't need to do anything else every day. I either work hard or shoot arrows on the shooting range, so I can have this skill."
"Don't you tell me to speak?" The guards on the side shouted angrily.
The soldier was so scared that he buried his head on the ground again. Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't scare him, what this person said is very useful."
