Li Ritong just smiled and said, "Suce Zheng, if you don't dare, just forget it."

If he didn't listen to his thrilling words, just looking at his appearance, he looked flattering, and thought he was cursing Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang wanted to slap his mouth.

I quickly calmed down. Strictly speaking, North Vietnam has always been China's territory, and its management is stricter than Dali. In the era of the unification of the Han and Tang dynasties, Dali may have been a place of restraint, but Jiaozhi was directly under the territory. The Battle of Baitengjiang initiated by the Song Dynasty was also a just war. To this day, the Yue Li Dynasty used the Chinese system. Many Chinese Han people, and some ethnic minorities mostly migrated from Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Chinese characters are official languages ​​and characters. In the eyes of some ministers in the court, they would think that the bloodline of the Yue Li Dynasty is far closer than that of Xixia and Tubo and China.

Zheng Lang knew the evolution of history later.

It is also one of the reasons why he has no interest in the colony, letting it develop freely and fend for itself. Is this nation really lacking cohesion? It is definitely not. I don’t know which link there is an error.

But Zheng Lang is really not interested in these monkeys and does not take it as a threat. Can monkeys still endanger China's security? It's never possible. But the group of tigers and wolves in the north are the biggest opponents in the future.

It was his own idea, but the monkeys would not think so. The Song Dynasty did not send its main army in the Battle of Baitengjiang, and was defeated. The monkeys believed that they became tigers, so they invaded Guangdong and Guangxi many times. In the Li Dezheng era alone, several serious invasions occurred, and they went to Guangdong and Guangxi to burn, kill and loot. The Song Dynasty did not pay attention to Guangdong and Guangxi before, so Jiaozhi believed that the Song Dynasty was very weak.

At least they still think this way now.

However, they integrated the barbarians' harmony, developed Guangdong and Guangxi, and spread to Jiaozhi, which made them feel threatened, at least they succeeded, making it difficult for them to expand northward. Therefore, this poor plan was created, and the people thought it was magical and there were many rumors. But as upper-class people, they would know the role of planning, what is the military force? So they used the name of condolences to pick out the best soldiers from the country to compete with their subordinates.

This is a competition. It is not a battle. In terms of individual force, they are the best in a country and will definitely surpass their subordinates. Even the Jurchens cannot do it. After going to the battlefield, why are the Jurchens powerful? It is a fierce and desperate spirit. If they really are tigers and leopards. As long as their subordinates lose, the prestige brought by the Battle of Xunqian will be severely reduced. If a few more strategies are used, some barbarians who are ungrateful will be in turmoil. It is no better for them to be afraid of themselves and make a big fuss.

It is not difficult to solve, but the follow-up matters are limited. I have limited energy and the country's financial resources, including this development of Guangdong and Guangxi, Hainan Island is not within the plan. I thought of Jiaozhi many times. I gave up many times, and the finances are also the same.

Once Jiaozhi has this idea, this battle is probably inevitable.

After clarifying his thoughts, he closed the cold light in his eyes and said calmly: "Li Ritong, how do you think you compare?"

"How about competing with the art of archery according to your country's system?"

Some barbarians also came out and stood curiously on the side to listen. Zheng Lang glanced at the barbarians and said, "Wrong. Do you dare to let them compete with my subordinates. They are probably warriors and soldiers from your country. What are the soldiers used for? They are not flirting, not browsing skills, or bows and arrows, but fighting on the battlefield. So, although my subordinates are not the strongest warriors in my dynasty, your subordinates may be selected by you, Jiaozhi, and I will compete with you."

Li Ritong's thin old face turned red, allowing Zheng Lang to reveal his old background. But this person was deliberately selected by Li Dezheng to make a big deal. He smiled dryly and returned to normal.

Zheng Lang said again: "This way, how many people can you send and how many people I can send. I will never bully you in terms of the number of people. Let's do a practical battle."

"Practical combat?"

"It's just a real sword and gun slash like on the battlefield."

"this……"

"You Jiaozhi deliberately picked out the warriors, who are afraid of the group of ordinary soldiers under me, right? If that's the case, I don't want to choose from our Song Dynasty, but only from the Guangdong-Guangdong army. You Jiaozhi will not be the opponent of our Song army."

Li Ritong hesitated, but the few majestic leaders behind Zheng Lang all burst into laughter.

"Bows and arrows are not fancy moves," Li Ritong was a little anxious.

"What is the ultimate goal of soldiers practicing bows and arrows? Li Ritong, don't tell me that soldiers' ultimate goal of practicing bows and arrows is for hunting."

“…”

"Can't answer it? You answered, the ultimate goal is to kill someone."

"Mr. Zheng, I just want their competition."

"What is the competition? It is both high and low, and I want to desecrate the dignity of our Song Dynasty. This is not a competition, but a war! Small wars between countries are useless to say more, please prepare."

Li Riyong was stunned. Yu Jing asked Liang Zhu to go to Jiaozhi to send reinforcements as an envoy. Like the Song Wenchens before, they were weak and incompetent, and they were at ease. Why did everything change when they came to the hands of this prime minister?

Zheng Lang forced another force: "What's wrong? You guys are deliberately trying to select the strongest warriors, but they don't even dare to fight with my subordinates?"

"Okay, fight, fight, but the location must be chosen by me."

"Come to fight with you?"

The barbarians laughed again.

"No, it's in Xunzhou. I chose the short forest outside Xunzhou City, and we will compete." I changed the battle to a competition, and I felt guilty.

Zheng Lang stared at him, thinking that the short Lam knew that the tall trees were cut down by the people at the place near the river near the East City Gate. Even the shrubs were cut back as firewood. However, it gave some small bushes and thorns more space to grow, and it grew very densely. There were some lush reeds by the river, which were not large in area, but the terrain was very complicated. At least it was a very bad terrain for his soldiers. First of all, it would not be used for one hundred roman cavalry. Not only the roman cavalry, but even sending heavy infantry in it would be very unfavorable. Since this person said that he would compete for archery, all the subordinates he brought must be good at long bows and arrows, and most of them grew up in this environment. If the infantry went there, his subordinates would definitely be defeated.

Zheng Lang said: "Good thoughts, good thoughts."

Under the restrained policy, cats and dogs wanted to jump on the Song Dynasty's head. A small jacking was so rampant. Zheng Lang smiled coldly and said, "But I promised you. I will fight in that low forest. In addition, I only need two hundred steps outside the forest to serve as a combat area so that the cavalry can run."

Li Ritong was suspicious and puzzled. It was beneficial for the cavalry to run, where to run, and to the thorns? He also looked at Zheng Lang and finally said, "Okay, that's it."

"I don't take advantage of you either. You have come here for a long distance and let you rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, there will be a battle competition in the low forest outside the city."

Li Ritong looked at Zheng Lang suspiciously again, thinking to himself, were all rumors about the prime minister fake? Otherwise, why would he be so arrogant? So he asked tentatively: "So what about the morning after tomorrow?"

"OK."

"A word is determined," Li Ritong said and left in a hurry.

Bao Ke suddenly said, "Mr. Zheng, stop him. He hasn't said how many people have been sent to participate."

Ten people participated were arranged by ten people, twenty people participated by twenty people, and thirty people participated by thirty people. The number of people was uncertain. The plan was difficult to formulate. Zheng Lang stopped Bao Ke and said, "We are the masters, they are guests, let them get some advantage."

"It's not cheap, there's that short forest..."

"It doesn't matter. He said the day after tomorrow, and he also saw that I answered it with ease. He suspected that there was a ghost in the forest and would go over to check it tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow. By the way, I will find out more about the situation of our army and know myself and the enemy. I will give the forest to them tomorrow, so we will go over and take a look first."

"Mr. Zheng, what are the tricks?"

"Let's talk about it after seeing it."

When you walk outside the city, you will reach the forest. The forest area is quite large. Thirty or forty acres of land is the tall and stunning peak of the mountain. The east is the Longchuan River and the south is an open area. However, Zheng Lang himself said that only two hundred steps of open area will allow the cavalry to charge. But where can I rush to the low forest full of thorns, or rush to the Longchuan River?

Zheng Lang entered the low forest and spent the longest time in Xunzhou. This was the first time he entered this low forest. If he didn't ride a horse, he would just be in the empty people. It was extremely difficult to walk. Bao Ke walked a few steps, and his clothes were hooked. He took a breath and said, "It's not good, Mr. Zheng."

The more this environment is, the more it is the paradise of the archers who grew up in Jiaozhi.

Zheng Lang plucked the branches a few times, stopped watching, retreated, smiled and said, "This Jiaozhi man has chosen a good place."

"Mr. Zheng..."

"Bao Tidian, come with me. You are the official in Guangdong South Road and the prison, and sometimes you are also responsible for catching thieves. Fighting in small-scale areas like this is inevitable. Everyone communicates with each other."

A nice saying is actually to guide Bao Ke.

"First of all, look at the problem, not the surface, but the inside. For example, the number of people, there were more than fifty people from their group, and the chores and civil servants were about 40 soldiers. The forest was so big and suitable for their combat methods, is it more or less?"

"I see."

"Along with the number of people, do you expect that between countries, especially rogue countries like Jiaozhi and Xixia, can you keep your word? Today he said twenty people, but suddenly repented and said forty people the day after tomorrow. What should I do? We are the masters and they are guests. If we disagree and fall into their trap, the barbarians who come to Xunzhou think we are cowardly. If we agree, we are targeting the arrangements for twenty people to go, and the plan is messed up again. It is better not to ask, but we appear generous and despicable and shameless."

"That's the case."

"And I agree, because I have something in my hand, and you may be able to use it in the future. Remember, don't enter this kind of dense forest when catching thieves. This forest is pretty good, and the dense forests of those mountains are even more dangerous. If the other party is smart and set up various ambush mechanisms in the forest, it will be worth ten thousand soldiers."

"That……"

"You will know my plan right away." At this point, Zheng Lang whispered again: "It seems that I want to train an army."

"What army?"

"Special forces specializing in fighting in such dense mountains and forests." Not only was he helpless in this kind of dense forest, Di Qing still sucked the enemy's main force into the open area in the special-melting tactics, and then achieved a decisive battle, and then achieved a great victory. It seemed that Di Qing was probably helpless in this kind of dense forest.

When he arrived at the military camp, he heard Zheng Su and Zheng Xia quarrel.

Zheng Lang opened the curtain and walked in and asked, "What are you two arguing again?"

"We are competing for who is more courageous than Xiang Yu or Xue Rengui? I said it was Xiang Yu, Zheng Su said it was Xue Rengui, Zheng Xianggong, who did you think they were the number one hero in the ages," said Zheng Xia.

Bao Ke was dumbfounded. Why is this like?

Zheng Lang did not think that they were messing around, sometimes fighting for knowledge. They grew up quickly. One was learned and the other was fighting for it. He asked with a smile: "Tell me the reason?"

"Xiang Yu lifted a thousand pounds of cauldrons. In the Battle of Julu, 30,000, and in the Battle of Pengcheng, 30,000, he will be the most brave general in the ages."

"It's not bad, I actually know that the battle between Pengcheng City and Julu has made progress."

"No. I'm talking about courage, martial arts, not military achievements. In terms of military achievements, is Xiang Yu as powerful as Li Jing? After 3,000 or more Turkic troops, isn't the Turkic troops more powerful than the army in the era of the devastated Qin? What personal achievements does Xiang Yu have? But Xue Rengui's single spear and horse are invincible among the 200,000 troops, and three arrows determine the Tianshan Mountain. Does Xiang Yu have such personal achievements?"

It seems to be...

Zheng Lang asked, "Why didn't Xue Rengui decide Tubo with three arrows?"

"yes……"

"You only talk about the results. Have you analyzed the background at that time? In the Battle of Goryeo, Xue Rengui was invincible at 200,000 Goryeo troops, but behind it was the Tang army. As long as he came out, he would be safe. The Tang army gave him courage and shocked the Goryeo soldiers, which made such a magical scene. When the three arrows were used to set off the Tianshan Mountains, Xue Rengui made many achievements, which produced a high prestige in the hearts of the Turkic Tieler people, and even all kinds of weird legends. The powerful army in the early Tang Dynasty had not yet officially weakened and had a deterrent effect on the Tieler people. Tieler was a coalition force in various units, and his morale was uneven. He lacked the command and dispatch of the capable commander and dispatching of the commander of the Turkic Tieler people. Xue Rengui was a three-year-old coalition army.

After the arrow shot dead Tiele's three strongest warriors, the Tiele people even more let the seal Xue Rengui himself on those rumors, and the three armies were defeated. Even in the end, even more incredible things happened. Xue Rengui only took off his face armor, and tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers were scared to dismount and surrender. However, Tubo did not believe this evil. He was resourceful and used the discord between the generals of the Tang army to divide the army several times better than the Tang army. He occupied the right time, place, and people. Xue Rengui's myth was shattered. Are there really someone who can compete with tens of thousands of people? In fact, it was not Xue Rengui who achieved the most brilliant record in a bad situation, but another person."

"who?"

"Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

"emperor?"

"What's wrong with the emperor? There are many emperors who are full of martial arts, which is unimaginable. Emperor Guangwu has no martial arts and dares to lead 3,000 people into the 400,000 Wangmang army? Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was a fierce general. He led the way and charged in battle. Can it be said that he has no martial arts and personal courage? Emperor Taizong of Tang was unparalleled in the world in archery skills, and joined forces with Yuchi Jingde. Every battle, they rushed to the front, and were extremely brave, which made the enemy frightened. Emperor Taizu of our dynasty swept across the eight deserts, swallowing his aura, and no one in the world can defeat him. Can you say that the emperor has no courage?"

"What are the achievements of that Liu Yu?"

"When he was just a small school, he encountered more than a thousand enemies. In desperation, he picked up a big willow tree, used the willow tree as a weapon, and defeated more than a thousand enemies alone."

"Use willow trees as weapons?" Zheng Su and Zheng Xia were stunned. They couldn't even wield them.

"But what he is powerful is not courage, but military talent. He will win every battle or win a great victory. He is also considered a famous general for all ages, but he is not comparable. These people are brave generals of all ages. It is difficult to compare without a fight. What you need to learn cannot only learn courage. Now you are in your prime and you will always learn military knowledge when you are old and weak. If you do not have military command capabilities, even if you are as powerful as Xiang Yu, you will be defeated in Wujiang. If you are as powerful as Xue Rengui, you will be shamed to Dafeichuan. So I usually ask you to read more books on military tactics."

"Here."

"That's all for today, I'm here to instruct you that there will be a small-scale battle the day after tomorrow. There are some arrangements for you to arrange it on my behalf."
