From the very beginning, Li You had no intention of training any veterans. There was no other reason. Although the combat strength of the veterans was not bad, most of their ideas had already formed and were difficult to change.
Through training, it was possible to turn them into a strong army, but it was still impossible to have a strong heart.
Li You still liked to train new recruits. It was easier this way, and many things were more efficient.
Thus, from the very beginning, the 10,000 men from the Twelve Guards were the test stones.
Perhaps after returning to their own troops, they would still be traumatized. However, there was no other way. This was reality. Someone had to be sacrificed. They could only blame their bad luck.
With Li You's permission, everyone was given ten strings of money as compensation and left the military camp.
The rest were qualified recruits. There were less than 7,000 of them, and more than 13,000 of them had already been eliminated.
"You guys are not bad. You have the right to stay and accept the name of this unit!”Li You said seriously, then gave Wei Wenzhen a look. Wei Wenzhen immediately distributed the red armbands that he had prepared and put them on the arms of every recruit.
The bright red armband was embroidered with three big words with yellow silk thread.
"This king knows that many brothers still don't know how to read, but it doesn't matter.”"Today, let this king tell you the name of our army, the Children's Army!" Li You said with a smile.”
Although the recruits did not whisper to each other, they all looked confused. They did not know what the meaning of this army was.
"You don't need to worry. This king will tell you the meaning of this name now.”"Defending the country is the duty of a soldier, but why do you have to protect the country?" Li You said seriously. "Because family matters are our own family. The country is our own country. Our brothers and sisters at home are our closest relatives. As soldiers, we have to protect them. You were originally born as commoners, but now that you are soldiers, you can't forget your roots. That's why this king called you the children's army. Take the children of the commoners and build an army to protect the country. Do you understand?”
"We understand. Your Highness is wise!" Everyone shouted.
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai had been doing a good job of brainwashing them recently. Everyone was now thinking about protecting their brothers and sisters. Hearing the explanation of the army of disciples, they were excited and praised in unison.
"Good!" "From today onwards, your army will have an official name. It will be called the Children's Army!" This king promises that you will become a sharp sword of the Great Tang, unstoppable wherever you go!”
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Shouts echoed throughout the entire camp. Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were also excited. They had finally succeeded. This army was invincible!
Li Shiming had been paying attention to Li You's training recently, but the news he received made him feel hopeless.
It was fine to appoint two new recruits as the new army's commander-in-chief and vice-commander-in-chief, but wasn't it asking for abuse to let the new recruits fight against the veterans for no reason?
The veterans of the Twelve Guards were all brave soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. How could the recruits be their opponents?
"Sigh, it seems that Zhen still had too high of an expectation for You 'er. He has already done very well, so Zhen should not have too much hope.”Li Shi Min looked at the report and couldn't help sighing.
From then on, he no longer cared about Li You's training. Anyway, after January, Li You would naturally compensate him and say a plan that was comparable to refined salt. The country would not lose virtue.
Moreover, he was so young. It was good to let him fall. In the future, he would not have to be so arrogant. It would also be helpful for his future path.
A month's time had finally passed, and Li You finally appeared in the morning court once again. However, most people shook their heads and sighed at Li You. They were all discussing the matter of Li You wasting a million strings of money and 30,000 troops.
However, Li You simply ignored these people. The truth was in the hands of a few people, so he did not have to pay attention to these people who followed others 'words.
"Aiyo, isn't this His Highness King Qi?”Hou Junji suddenly walked over, a gloating expression on his face."A month's time is up. I wonder if your highness has finished training his invincible army. I really want to see what this invincible army looks like, haha.”
Hou Junji had always supported Li Chengqian as the Crown Prince, so he was hostile to Li Chengqian's opponent, Li You.
Li You rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered with this silly bird. If you have some ability, do you really think that you can't be lacking anywhere?
"What's wrong, why isn't your highness speaking?”Hou Junji looked surprised."Could it be that King Qi is not here today to deliver the decree and fulfill his promise, but to apologize for wasting the country's one million strings of money and thirty thousand soldiers?”
This is clearly looking for trouble. Since Hou Junji has jumped out to be beaten up, then don't blame this king for not giving him face.
However, it was too boring to just defeat you. If you wanted to play, you had to play big.
"General Hou doesn't seem to be convinced.”Li You sneered." Then let's compete later. I wonder if General Hou dares to raise the stakes with his aggressive look?"”
"If your highness is interested, this official will naturally accompany you. As long as your highness doesn't blame me for hurting your new army, that's fine.”Hou Junji said smugly.
"There's no chance. With those weaklings you led, they really don't have the ability.”Li You sneered disdainfully." Cut the crap. How about this? In a while, if you win against the same number of people, this king will tell you about the plan that can be compared to refined salt. I'll let you take the credit. No matter how many rewards you get, they'll be yours."”
"What if you win?" Hou Junji narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, that's nothing. This king knows that General Hou doesn't have any brains, so I won't count on you for any useful plans.”Li You smiled and said," However, a dancer fell ill a few days ago in this king's residence, causing this king to not be able to dance for the next two days. If you lose, you have to dance for this king in front of everyone."”
"Hehe, your highness is indeed courageous. This official will take this bet.”Hou Junji sneered as he added.
