In the ninth year of Wude, Turkic Jie Li Khan led 200,000 troops south, and the vanguard of the army approached Chang 'an.
Chang 'an was empty, with only tens of thousands of troops.
Left with no other choice, Li Er could only sing an empty city stratagem.
Li Erqin led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six people across the Weishui River and Jie Li Khan dialogue, angrily rebuked Jie Li, Tu Li two Khan back to the covenant.
In the end, Li Er and Jie Li Khan signed a peace agreement on the bridge of the Wei River in the west of Chang 'an.
Both sides immediately killed the white horses to form an alliance.
After that, Jie Li Khan led all the Turkic cavalry back.
After the alliance at Weishui River, Li Er had been ashamed of it and ordered to prepare for war to avenge himself.
It was also from then on that Xiande Hall, the original palace, was used by Li Er to train elite soldiers and hold the competition.
"Big brother, today His Majesty has ordered all the generals and the sons of the officials to go to Xian De Hall to compete in archery.”
Cheng Yaojin smiled and persuaded Wang Yangping.
Hearing this, Wang Yangping immediately understood that his plan was starting to work.
Li Er wanted to use him.
"No!"
Wang Yangping replied straightforwardly.
Cheng Yaojin's expression changed slightly.
The eunuchs in the palace had repeatedly instructed Cheng Yaojin to bring Wang Yangping to Xian De Hall to compete in archery. This was the Emperor's intention, and he had to complete the task.
"Big brother, you are a hero with your abilities. If you go to Xian De Hall, you will definitely be famous in front of the ruler.”
Wang Yangping glared at Cheng Yaojin.
"Hmph, His Majesty asked Princess Changle to come to the Langya Wang family to break off the engagement and publicly humiliate me. Why should I go?”
Cheng Yaojin was stunned.
It was actually for this matter.
Didn't you divorce the princess?
You haven't vented your anger yet?
"That is not His Majesty's intention. Princess Chang Le is still young and ignorant. Don't lower yourself to her level.”
"Bullshit! What kind of person did he take me, Wang Yangping, for? Without His Majesty's permission, how could Princess Changle come to Langya safely? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Cheng Yaojin was speechless.
On the surface, going to Langya's Wang family to break off the engagement was Princess Changle's personal matter.
But as long as one wasn't stupid, one could guess that Li Er's acquiescence was definitely behind this.
The Princess of Changle sneaking out was just a show for the world.
"Princess Changle, I've already divorced her. There are plenty of fish in the sea, how can I, Wang Yangping, be bullied by her?”
Wang Yangping was furious, Cheng Yaojin also felt helpless.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Big Brother doesn't like Princess Chang Le, but Chang 'an is full of beautiful women. There must be someone Big Brother likes, right?”
Hearing this, Wang Yangping became interested.
"Why, second brother, do you know whose daughter is beautiful?”
Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Big Brother, if you can win the archery competition in Xiande Hall today, you will definitely become famous in Chang 'an.”
"Young girls in their boudoir are longing for love. They love young heroes like you the most.”
"If you get the first prize, who knows how many girls will fall in love with you.”
These words made Wang Yangping's heart blossom with joy, and his interest was also piqued.
"Come, let's go to Xian De Hall to take a look.”
……
Xiande Hall.
The army was neat and tidy.
Today, the young disciples of the nobles of the Great Tang were competing in archery.
In the main hall, many noble children were eager to try.
If he could show his ability in front of the ruler, he would undoubtedly be put in an important position by Li Er.
This was an extremely rare opportunity, and no one wanted to miss it.
"I will definitely be the champion in today's archery competition.”
Hou Junji's son, Hou Guangliang, gently stroked the bow in his hand.
He had learned riding and archery from his father, Hou Junji, and was very confident in his own abilities.
"Today, I will let Your Majesty know my capabilities.”
Yuchi Jingde's son, Yuchi Baolin, was also very confident.
"Like father, like son. How can I let my father down?”
Qin Shubao's son, Qin Huaiyu, was not to be outdone either.
Even Cheng Tieniu, the son of Cheng Yaojin, was prepared.
"He actually wants to compete with a group of youths in archery.”
Wang Yangping shook his head repeatedly.
"No matter what, I'm the elder brother of Duke Lu. If I want to compete, I should compete with famous big shots. Comparing myself with children is really bullying them!”
Wang Yangping muttered to himself, completely not thinking that he was also a youth.
He was about the same age as Cheng Tieniu, Qin Huaiyu, and the others.
However, his words made the surrounding people look over.
Who was this person?
What an arrogant tone!
Wang Yangping was completely unaware.
However, he suddenly remembered something.
"Second brother, I don't know archery. Do I really have to compete?”
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people were instantly stunned.
If you don't know archery, why are you competing?
This is a competition between rulers. Do you think this is a joke?
Cheng Yaojin was shocked when he heard this.
Was this a joke?
"Big brother, you really don't know how to shoot?"
Cheng Yaojin didn't quite believe it.
Wang Yangping's martial arts were so good, there was no reason he didn't know archery, right?
Wang Yangping scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, well, I should have learned archery before I was eight, but I haven't touched it for ten years now.”
Had he shot an arrow before he was eight?
Cheng Yaojin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before the age of eight?
A child's game could be considered archery?
He stared at Wang Yangping, unable to speak for a long time.
Today, all the generals were present. If Wang Yangping lost face because he didn't know archery, Cheng Yaojin would lose face. What should he do?
Feeling Cheng Yaojin's burning gaze, Wang Yangping coughed twice.
"Um, why don't you teach me how to shoot an arrow?”
"Grind your spear at the last minute. Maybe I'll say that I know archery and get first place.”
As soon as he said that, the surrounding crowd could not help but laugh.
Are you here to cause trouble or to make a joke?
Now, he's learning archery, and he's even at the top. Did I hear wrongly?
Which of the archers here today had not put in years of hard work?
You're here to learn now and you're still in the first place. Are you still asleep?
Not far away, Crown Prince Li Chengqian finally couldn't help but speak.
"Who are you?"
