Pengyuan belonged to Qingzhou, a name given by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed it to Honghua County, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was changed back to Qingzhou.
Li Shimin was originally from a powerful family in Longyou. Li Yuan had raised an army in Jinyang and greeted the Tang Empire. It could be said that Longyou was the foundation of the Li family. By setting Duan Peng's fief in Pengyuan, Qingzhou, the ministers all understood that from now on, Duan Peng was one of Li Shimin's own people.
Many of them were flushed red, but there was nothing they could do. If you have the ability, you can bring 600 people and wipe out 8,000 people for His Majesty Li Er to see. He will treat everyone equally.
After coming out of the Dew Hall, Duan Peng did not return to the Embroidered Guard Camp because Niu Jinda, Li Ji, Wei Chigong, and the other generals did not give him a chance at all. They insisted on dragging him out for a drink, and they even started fighting because of whose house they chose.
"Let's go to my house. My dancers are beautiful. They drink while admiring the Hu dance.”Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said to Duan Peng, an expression that any man would understand.
"Brother Duan, now that my son is under your command, as his father, I have to ask about the situation.”Niu Jinda said solemnly.
Niu Jinda pulled Duan Peng and was about to drag him home without a word, but he didn't expect that Yuchi Gong, who was on the other side, had already grabbed the other side of Duan Peng.
"Old Bull, why are you so shameless after learning from Old Cheng?”" Your son is under Brother Duan's command," Yuchi Gong said angrily." It's as if our sons aren't under Brother Duan's command." Let's not talk about anything else. Let's go to my residence today and your residence next time. Let's go!”
Duan Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These few were all his good brothers 'fathers, so it wasn't good to directly make a move either. Moreover, they invited him warmly, and they were all straightforward men. Duan Peng also couldn't be careful of getting angry.
"Ahem." A cough came over. Li Jing looked at Duan Peng and said with a smile,""Brother Duan, it's hard to refuse the three generals 'kindness. I think it's better to compromise and choose your Embroidered Guard Camp. It's a good time for us to broaden our horizons together.”
Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong were stunned. Li Ji looked at his master, Li Jing, with an incredulous expression.
Li Jing was the Great Tang's War God. Although he had not yet achieved the military feats of the great Turks, when it came to military affairs, Li Jing would not dare claim to be second.
However, Li Jing's personality was also cold and aloof. Although he was a little worried that he would keep a low profile, he rarely chatted with people, let alone attend banquets.
This time, he actually said that he wanted to go to the Embroidered Guard Camp for a banquet together. Although his words were somewhat arrogant, this was also enough to make the three people's jaws drop in shock, secretly thinking that Duan Peng's beauty was high enough.
"Teacher is right." Li Ji was the first to react. He smiled and said,""The Embroidered Guard Battalion has made such a great contribution, and Brother Duan has also bestowed the title of County Lord Peng Yuan. I'll ask the chef in the residence to bring food and wine to the Embroidered Guard Camp.”
Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong also agreed to Li Ji's suggestion. They ordered the servants who had come to fetch them to go back and make arrangements to bring food and wine to the Embroidered Guard Camp.
Just like that, for the first time, Duan Peng didn't have the slightest say in his own territory and was surrounded by three old hooligans as he walked towards the Embroidered Guard Camp. Li Jing smiled and followed closely behind.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Embroidered Guard Camp, Niu Jianhu, Li Zhen, and Yuchi Baolin ran out one after another to pay their respects to their father. However, they were chased away by their father like he was chasing away flies, causing the three silkpants to not know whether to laugh or cry.
He really wanted to ask his father if he was his biological son.
"Brother Duan, what is this? Why did they have to crawl down there?”Niu Jinda asked curiously.
"Also, Brother Duan, what's the use of that thirty feet long log hanging in the air to let people flee?”Yuchi Gong also looked like a curious baby.
Although Li Ji didn't say anything, he also had a look of anticipation, hoping that Duan Peng would give an explanation.
Duan Peng was helpless and could only act as a guide, explaining clearly what the purpose of all the training facilities in the Embroidered Guard Camp was, how to use them, and what their purpose was.
Duan Peng's explanation was clear and logical, and with the soldiers of the Embroidered Guard Camp as examples, the three old generals nodded repeatedly, and even Li Jing stole a look of approval.
"Brother Duan, the intensity of your training is so great that it won't cause any damage to the soldiers 'bodies and leave any hidden injuries, right?”Li Ji said worriedly.
Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong also nodded, expressing their agreement with Li Ji's words.
After listening to the training of running a hundred miles twice a day, everyone felt that it was too ruthless.
During the Tang Dynasty, the physical fitness of the common people was not high, and most of them were not old. This truly explained the meaning of people rarely over seventy.
Duan Peng's training did look good, but the three old generals were worried whether the soldiers 'physical fitness could really withstand it. If they were left with hidden injuries and could not fight anymore, this army would be crippled.
"Generals, you may not know, but this is not a problem.”Duan Peng said proudly: " There are six hundred people in Embroidered Guard Camp, and every month, Fang clan gives us twenty-three hundred jin of fat pigs as food. With timely replenishment, the consumption of training is a process of strengthening the body, so the problem you are worried about will not happen.”
Li Ji and the other two looked at the busy soldiers of the Embroidered Guard Camp. As expected, each of them was strong and healthy, full of energy, and did not look sick at all.
"Brother Duan, there's something I don't understand, so I wonder if you can enlighten me.”Li Jing suddenly asked with a smile.
"Great General is too polite. If you have any questions, Duan Peng will definitely tell you everything he knows.”Duan Peng smiled in a neither servile nor obsequious manner, not the slightest bit fearful of the Great Tang's God of War.
"As the saying goes, it is easy to get three armies but hard to get a general.”" Brother Duan, don't you think that the loss outweighs the gain by expending such a large amount of energy on the soldiers?" Li Jing said with a smile. If one day, His Majesty sends you to another place with a transfer order, and these excellent soldiers become someone else's subordinates, won't you feel guilty?”
Li Jing's words could be said to be extremely harsh. If it was an ordinary person, they would inevitably think of this question. Was it worth it for others to reap the benefits from their own efforts?
Niu Jinda, Yuchi Gong, and Li Ji also looked at Duan Peng with interest, wanting to know how Duan Peng would answer.
"If a soldier is a coward, a general will be a coward.”Duan Peng smiled proudly and said," As long as I, Duan Peng, am around, I can train a strong army at any time. Why should I feel that I'm suffering a loss?" I don't have the time." Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:121920185:50PM
