"Test them? How to test them?"
The envoys from various countries looked at each other. They didn't understand much of the others, but they could still hear the kidnapping and assassination.
Is it possible to randomly select a few unlucky ones and let them kill them?
"Everyone is living in the Chang'an State Guesthouse now, and basically every country has forty or fifty guards. Why don't we let them try and send you a letter? The time is limited to one week, as long as they send the letter Once it is delivered to everyone, it will be considered complete.”
Li Shimin said with a smile, in fact, the program of the ceremony starts now.
On the surface, these countries were respectful to the Tang Dynasty, but they had all kinds of little thoughts on the inside.
As for the many nameless soldiers who die every year, almost all of them are sent by these countries.
Therefore, it is necessary for Datang to show them its fist.
"Just the ten of them?" Emperor Shotoku asked curiously as he looked at his old acquaintance Lao Cui Lao Du inside.
"Just ten of them!"
Li Shimin's words caused the other envoys to start talking. You must know that although they only brought forty or fifty guards into the city, these guards were all the best among the best from various countries.
Now Li Shimin wants to try to see if these ten people can break through their defense line, which is a bit too underestimated!
So these envoys looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"As Your Majesty wishes, I am willing!"
"Hahaha, good!" Li Shimin looked at Xiang Long and the others and said, "If you succeed, you will all be rewarded heavily."
"Of course, if any country can successfully block them, I will also reward you heavily!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "How about a reward of a hundred sets of soldiers?"
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the envoys from various countries became excited.
He is talking about armor, not weapons, but armor.
Nowadays, the high-quality swords of the Tang Dynasty are expensive, but you can always buy some.
But it was impossible to buy the heavy armor of the Tang Dynasty.
Just like the people allow you to have weapons, but if you have armor, you are treason.
Armor is always more precious than weapons.
Especially now that the Tang Dynasty has a kind of light plate armor made with a steam stamping machine, which is almost difficult to deal with ordinary swords.
It causes harm.
The Tang Dynasty gradually began to transition to firearms troops, but other countries still had cold weapons.
In many cases, they don't need to defeat the Tang Dynasty, they just need to be able to defeat their neighbors in small-scale conflicts.
They are all vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. As long as it is not a war of annihilation that will affect the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will turn a blind eye to some minor frictions between these countries, and even acquiesce in them. The conflict comes from internal friction.
It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. At first, some of these countries were still thinking about whether to let go and give face to the Tang Dynasty, but now they are all working hard.
After the banquet was over and all the envoys had left, Li Shimin asked Xiang Long, "Are you sure?"
XiangLong saluted and said: "I should try my best."
"When will General Xiang prepare to start?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
Xiang Long and the others looked at each other and smiled and said, "This special training is really tiring, so I plan to rest for a few days first."
"Rest?" Li Chengqian, who was planning to watch the show, thought they were about to take action, but he didn't expect them to say they wanted to rest.
"Hahaha, Cheng Qian, don't underestimate these days of rest. This actually implies the art of war."
"It is said that if you make a strong effort, it will weaken again, and it will be exhausted after three times. Now that they are under my heavy reward, they must be tightly guarded when they return. But this person is like a bowstring, it cannot be tight all the time."
"The more Xiang Long and the others don't move, the more anxious the other party will be. The more anxious they are, the easier it is to get tired. Once this person gets tired, the opportunity will come."
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I understand, I understand. There are no ferocious beasts on the Oshu Road. The only powerful ones on the grassland are the dingoes. However, these dingoes are not big in size. They will not attack directly like ligers and tigers when hunting. It is always following the prey from a distance."
"Let the prey notice their presence, but don't really rush towards them. They just hang there and wait until the prey is tired and relaxed before striking them with a fatal blow. This is what I think."
"Not bad, not bad!" Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Chengqian: "It seems that you have learned a lot when you go out this time."
Then he said to Li Ke: "You must be the same, you have learned a lot
Something? Go and see your mother-in-law first. She has missed you for a long time. "
Tang Ping and the others also said goodbye and left, planning to return to Shanghe Village. Unexpectedly, they met Emperor Shotoku of Fuso at the palace gate.
"Are you waiting for me?" Tang Ping looked at Emperor Shotoku curiously and asked.
"Of course!" Emperor Shotoku stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me!"
"What?" Tang Ping was stunned. He didn't owe him anything.
"Didn't His Majesty say he wants to deliver a message to us? Give me mine first, so you don't have to come to my place!" He looked at Lao Cui and the others and said, "I can't help but know your abilities? You are coming , it is impossible to say that my guards will be hit, it is really unnecessary."
"You boy, you seem to be smarter!" Tang Ping patted his hand: "But the letter is not with me. If you really think so, then Just don’t arrange for anyone to guard you during this time.”
The two chatted for a few more words and then left.
The next day, word spread throughout Chang'an City about the bet between Li Shimin and envoys from various countries.
"Have you heard? Our Tang Dynasty's most mysterious special forces are about to face off against the escorts of envoys from various countries."
"How could you not have heard of it? This is the hottest topic in the city now! Do you think we can win?"
"Of course. Don't you know that those special forces were trained by Pingguo Gong? They have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth!"
"But I heard that there are only ten of them in total, and almost every envoy from each country has forty or fifty people. Doesn't it add up to hundreds?"
"What's the use of having more people? If it's a direct comparison of the number of people, it's better not to admit defeat from the beginning. Anyway, I believe that our Datang show will definitely win."
"Ping Guogong, who do you think can win? It must be our Tang Dynasty, right?" Inside the Bazhen Tower, Fatty Liu was also asking Tang Ping.
Tang Ping said with a smile: "How can I know if we haven't started competing yet? I'm not a god. Your business at Bazhenlou is doing well now!"
Fatty Liu shook his head: "Then it's not like all those who don't have a place in your Xihe Building come to my Bazhen Building to eat."
"And this is also because of the celebration. After the celebration, the business will not be so good."
"Then why don't you follow His Majesty's example and make a bet with this incident?"
