Li Zhi wanted to cry. He just lay down on the ground after taking a rest. He wanted to cry.
He felt that his legs and arms no longer felt like his own. These instructors were so cruel. They would not show mercy at all just because they were princes. As long as they were not in compliance with the rules, the wicker in their hands would come straight up.
Although it is said that the pumping is not painful, the action itself is tiring! Especially that move, what kind of method did the devil come up with? Can a person's legs be kept raised? Can you keep your hands raised? And it doesn’t matter if you lift it up. If the height is lowered, you will get beaten.
What on earth did I think that I would find this more comfortable than doing math problems? There was also the question of standing in a military posture, raising your head, raising your chest, and contracting your abdomen... It took at least a quarter of an hour to start... He felt like there were ants crawling all over his body.
And there was actually the smell of meat coming from the side. He had eaten something in the morning, but he was still hungry now!
He was also punished to do the push-ups. He was young and didn't do it many times, but why did he still move every push-up? !
How did the third brother come up with this! Wuwuwuwu...I want to go back to the palace! But he can't cry. They are all about the same age here. Whoever cries will lose! I, Li Zhi, can never lose! snort! What if my third brother asks me to do the test paper after crying? !
What frightened him even more was that the instructor said...this is the easiest.
…
Just when Li Ke started military training here, about two thousand miles away from Chang'an, a team of more than 20 people had entered the Goguryeo border and walked outside Liaodong City.
Liaodong City, later Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province, was one of the base camps of Yuan Gaisuwen, and Yuan Gaisuwen himself was also here.
"Captain, are we going back?" Looking at the nearby city, one of Liu Zhao's subordinates asked silently.
Liu Zhao also fell silent. The reason why they were like this was because although they had not yet met Yeon Gaesubun himself, they had already heard news on the road. Not long ago, a Khitan army under the instructions of the Tang Dynasty sneaked into Goguryeo. , massacred and plundered several villages in Goguryeo.
Although they also learned this news from some Goguryeo people and they did not verify it, there are some things that they still need to verify?
This is also the reason why his men don't want to return to Liaodong City. Although everyone has that idea in their minds, they also have a faint expectation, but no one knows how long this expectation can last.
In fact, their mood has already passed from anger and silence.
"Go back! You can choose not to go back. I will tell him that you all died in the battle! Because I want to see if he is really as ruthless as King Qin said. If he is really like that, he can't It's my fault." Liu Zhao took a deep breath and said calmly.
"Then we'll go back too!" These people took a deep breath and decisively agreed.
"Then... if." Liu Zhao looked at the people around him, and then said seriously: "If, if you don't believe it, King Qin's words are true, I hope you can restrain your anger, since he can kill so many people , don’t mind killing us, if you still want to take revenge, or if you think you want to save the people of Goguryeo from what we learned on the way, you have to endure it.”
"Actually, I have an idea here, that is, I will go back by myself." Liu Zhao looked at them and then said seriously.
"I have some status with him. If I go back by myself, I may be alive, and you will stay outside. I will contact you. If I die... you... remember to follow what His Highness King Qin taught you. Just operate your things. Along the way, you have learned the things in the books. I believe that you all know what is correct without me telling you."
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Goguryeo is too dark, and its hierarchy is more stable than that of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why Yeon Gaesumun did this was because he got the news that King Yeongryu wanted to kill some people in Goguryeo. A capable general. But is this for the people? No, it is just for his own rule."
"War kills people. But the only people who can never stand up are the common people. And we all come from the common people."
"So, I don't think you all should go back. Go and promote these ideas. I'll go back by myself. If I survive, I can help you provide information." Liu Zhao said seriously.
"Captain, needless to say, don't go back. Your thoughts are actually our thoughts. King Qin is right. Goguryeo is really not as good as letting the Tang Dynasty annex it. After all, our ancestors are all from the Central Plains, right? ? Come with us to promote these ideas."
"Yes! Captain, don't go back either."
"No, I have to go back and take a look. I have to find out some news for our family!" Liu Zhao shook his head.
"Then... Captain, let us go back with you. You all stay outside. Captain, you won't be convincing if you go back alone."
"Okay! That's it, the three of you go back with me, and the others stay outside, waiting for us to contact you." Liu Zhao took a deep breath and said decisively.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Now that he had made the decision, Liu Zhao decisively took the three people back to Liaodong City. After entering the city, Liu Zhao quickly entered Yeon Gaesumun's mansion according to the secret passage he had followed before, and then calmly waited for Yeon Gaesumun's residence. call.
Liu Zhao and the four of them didn't wait long, only about two-quarters of an hour, when a "burly figure, majestic appearance, heroic spirit, wearing five swords, no one dared to look up at him" (from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" Volume 19 6) The man came in.
"I have met the general." Liu Zhao and the other four people knelt down directly.
"Please get up quickly, my warrior." A smile appeared on Yuan Gaisuwen's face, he took two quick steps and helped Liu Zhao and the others up. This was an unprecedented move. The Yeon Gaesumun family was extremely powerful in Goguryeo, and so was Yeon Gaesumun. He had an extremely strong character and was extremely cruel to the people.
No matter which official is getting on or off the horse, he has to bend over to act as a horse stool.
When had he ever been so kind to his subordinates?
"I am ashamed of myself, General. I failed to complete the mission assigned by the General, and even killed more than forty brothers." Liu Zhao and others lowered their heads and said with sad faces.
"I am so ashamed of you!" Yeon Gaesowen's face also became sad.
He told Liu Zhao and others with a sad face that in order to weaken Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty encouraged a Khitan army to enter Goguryeo and plunder it not long after they left. More than a dozen villages, with a total of thousands of people, were slaughtered! Unfortunately, Liu Zhao and his family were also among them.
Hearing this news, Liu Zhao and the other four looked sad and angry! Although they had already been mentally prepared, when they actually heard this, the anger in their hearts still shot up to the sky! Because according to Yeon Gaesumun's words, before they even arrived at Chang'an City, their families had been slaughtered by the so-called "Khitan Army"!
His every move...His Royal Highness King Qin actually guessed it! And the guess was extremely accurate! Why are there such vicious people in the world!
Seeing the pain and anger on the faces of Liu Zhao and others, Yuan Gaisuwen smiled lightly in his heart, and there were four more available dead soldiers.
