Li Shimin made the surprise attack with light equipment, or to be precise, he also informed Li Ke, but he did not notify Li Ke until he arrived outside the military camp.
Li Ke was a little shocked when he learned that Lao Li was coming, but he rushed outside the military camp as soon as possible and saw Lao Li and the others.
Of course, Lao Li couldn't have come by himself. Although he himself knew a lot about military affairs, he had to let all the generals in the court see it, so Li Shimin brought them all here.
Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Shiji, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Liu Hongji and other famous generals from the Tang Dynasty almost all came, and several civil servants such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji also came.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Li Ke's short hair.
Li Shimin was not surprised. He had known it for a long time. It was impossible to say that he had no information at all. When he first learned the news, Li Shimin was also a little angry, but being angry was useless. Once his hair was cut, it would never grow back. , so he just made a note to Li Ke and did not disturb him.
As for other ministers, they had actually heard about it to some extent, but they only heard that Li Ke had cut his hair and thought that Li Ke had cut his hair a little bit, but they never expected that Li Ke would play such a big role!
"I've met my father." Li Ke bowed to Li Shimin first.
"I have met His Highness King Qin." The ministers behind also saluted, and Li Ke returned the salute to them.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"I see that you have been training for more than a month, so I came to take a look and take the generals to see the results of your training. I wonder if I can see it?" Li Shimin gave Li Ke some face. If Li Ke He said he couldn't watch it, so he went back directly.
When it comes to military training, it is correct not to watch it until the training is completed.
"Okay, there's nothing you can't see here. Please come in." Li Ke didn't care.
These soldiers are elites. This month or so has been almost all about queue training and allowing them to develop the muscle instincts of their bodies.
As for the princes, they were completely blank without training, which made it easier for them to produce results.
Although their training volume is actually smaller, it is enough.
Li Ke took Li Shimin and the others directly to the barracks.
As Li Shimin and the others entered the barracks, apart from the sentries guarding the door, Li Shimin noticed that on the school grounds that occupied almost half of the city, none of the training soldiers showed any signs of expression when they saw them.
This alone shows a strong level of discipline.
Li Ke's dianjiang platform was rebuilt, and it was very simple to stand on it.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yilong, has met." Liu Yilong ran over and met Li Shimin.
Standing on the judging stage, Li Shimin looked at different groups all over the school grounds carrying out different trainings.
I just haven't seen the slashing, battle formation training, etc. that soldiers of the Tang Dynasty often performed.
"Show it. Show whatever you can." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"Yes! Liu Yilong!" Li Ke turned directly to Liu Yilong next to him and said loudly.
"The general is here!"
"Emergency gathering!" Li Ke said directly.
"Yes! Emergency gathering!" Liu Yilong turned around and gave the order loudly.
Just as the two trumpeters below the stage raised their trumpets at the same time, the high-pitched emergency assembly sound of "beep...beep...beep..." instantly resounded throughout the school grounds.
Then Li Shimin and many generals noticed that the entire school grounds instantly became like a boiling pot of boiling water.
There was a row of barracks right next to their general ordering platform. Following the emergency rally call, a large group of soldiers rushed out of the barracks. It could be seen that many soldiers were still buttoning up their clothes as they rushed out. , there is even a soldier's hair that has just been foamed with soap, he is obviously washing his hair.
But they all rushed out like this.
All the soldiers quickly and neatly stood in several rows and automatically looked to the right.
"Look to the right!"
"Look forward!"
"stand at attention!"
"Count!"
"One, two, three..." Different passwords appeared one after another throughout the school.
"Turn right! Run!"
The sound of "bang" and "bang" uniform footsteps resounded throughout the school grounds. With the dust caused by running, the whole school ground was already boiling.
Under the stunned gaze of Li Shimin and all the ministers, these phalanxes quickly gathered in front of the general stage at a speed they could not imagine.
The dull footsteps gathered quickly, and then became quiet, only half a cup of tea at most. In front of Li Shimin and the others, a horizontal and vertical square formation of five thousand people stood there, everyone stood like wooden stakes. Staring straight ahead, motionless.
The instructors from each square quickly summarized the relevant data, and the last person ran to Liu Yilong under the general platform and shouted: "Report to the general! The city management guard should have 5,096 people, but the actual number is 4,000." Nine hundred and thirty-seven people! Please give instructions."
"Return to the team!"
"yes!"
Liu Yilong below quickly ran up the steps and walked in front of Li Ke. Then with a "bang", he stopped and stood at attention! Then he saluted Li Ke and said loudly: "Report to Your Highness! Except for the special training team and the sick and wounded, all members of the city management guard have been integrated. Please give instructions!"
Li Ke returned a military salute to him, and then turned to Li Shimin: "To inform my father, the city management guards have been assembled. Please give instructions."
Li Shimin: "..."
Ministers: "..."
Before they came, they all knew that His Highness was training troops, but he was training elite soldiers from Zuowuwei. Therefore, although many ministers or generals did not say it in their hearts, they actually complained in their hearts. Those elite soldiers are still being trained by you?
But the scene in front of them, just a gathering... made all the generals completely amazed. At least for now, the sixteen guards of Chang'an City, even if they don't wear armor, can't gather into such a neat guard in such a short time. ! No one guard can do it, including Li Shimin's Royal Forest Army.
Speed and neatness are originally conflicting things, but now they are strangely harmonious and unified here!
What's more important is that the soldiers lined up are standing not far from the general station, and because it is daily training, they are not wearing armor, so they can clearly see the expressions of these soldiers.
Different, completely different.
Almost all of the generals present hold the position of general. The Sixteenth Guards and others have been to many places. For many soldiers, in fact, even if they are proficient in training, their expressions are relatively numb.
The energy and spirit of these soldiers are completely different. In the past, this kind of energy and spirit could only be seen in the veterans of hundreds of battles. It was an invisible aura that swallowed up the energy of a tiger and dared to face any enemy. momentum!
"Watch the demonstration." Li Shimin didn't know what Li Ke had practiced, so he simply waved his hand.
"Yes!" Li Ke's face looked a little strange. He turned around and said loudly to Liu Yilong behind him: "The military parade! Begin!"
Didn't Li Ke, Li Ke, just want to stand on the general stage and have fun while practicing like this? Lao Li probably thought about it too.
"yes!"
