Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen helped Li Shimin out of the cave and the door slowly closed.

Li Shimin looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky. He was still a little uncomfortable having just come out of the cave.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Li Shimin looked back.

He knew that this was the base of the Sharp Blade Brigade of the Guard Battalion.

The word "warehouse" was written in large letters on the big iron gate.

It is surrounded by dense forests and is very hidden.

This is a great place, Li Shimin thought. It was built on the mountainside and a big hole was dug in the mountain to serve as a barracks.

Even if other people accidentally come here, they will not find any clues.

The court elite only knew that Prince Ji had an elite force.

But they didn't know where exactly it was, they only guessed that it should be in the guard camp.

But they don't know, even if they go to the Guards Camp to look for it, they won't find it.

"Eh? By the way, where are the team members here? I just noticed that there is no one here.

Could it be that all the personnel were transferred away because of me?"

As Li Shimin was walking, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen anyone with a sharp blade along the way, only a few people on guard.

Li Shen was stunned by the question. He looked around and recalled that he did not see anyone.

"Rengui, Rengui."

"The minister is here."

Xue Rengui ran over from the outside.

"Where are the people with sharp blades?"

"My Lord, the sharp blade has gone to the mountains."

Xue Rengui bowed and reported back.

"Into the mountains again?"

"Going into the mountains?"

Li Shimin and Li Shen both raised questions.

The first question was asked by Li Shen, because he knew that the regular training subject of Li Jian was to go into the mountains.

The second question was asked by Li Shimin, he didn't know why the sharp blade went into the mountain.

"Your Majesty, the blade has indeed entered the mountain."

"What are they doing in the mountains?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Yeah, why are they going into the mountains again? I remember they went into the mountains once last month."

Li Shen also asked curiously.

“Your Majesty, the Blade has a lot of new players this year.

I want to train the new team members before the old ones retire, so I go into the mountains once a month.

Train them to survive in the wild and hide in the battlefield."

As the Sima of Prince Ji's mansion, Xue Rengui performed his duties conscientiously. Next year, the old team members will retire and the new team members will take on the task.

Although the missions in Prince Ji's Mansion are generally small-time sneaky jobs, there are sometimes some large-scale escort missions.

For example, when Prince Ji went to Qinghai this year, or when Prince Ji was with His Majesty, Li Jian was responsible for the outer sentry defense, etc.

For them, jobs like sneaking into officials' residences to install lightning rods a few months ago were just sneaky.

"Surviving in the wild? Hiding on the battlefield?"

Hearing these new words, Li Shimin, as the emperor on horseback, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The literal meaning is easy to understand.

But he didn't think it would be that simple.

Li Shen frowned. He really didn't need such elite guards. It was too dangerous.

"How many days did you let them stay this time, and how many days of rations did you give them?"

"Ten days without rations."

"What? No rations?"

Li Shen raised his voice.

Li Shimin also understood that after ten days in the mountains, the team members had not been given any dry food and had to fend for themselves.

This is indeed a good way to train.

He used to fight all year round, and when the army marched, there were corvée laborers responsible for escorting military supplies.

But sometimes we also carry out some exploration or other tasks, and the number of people will be much smaller.

There are often times when there is no dry food, and this is when the soldiers' abilities are tested.

But isn’t it too harsh to not give a day’s ration?

Li Shimin thought that Li Shen's reaction was because he was too harsh, but Li Shen was so anxious that he jumped up and shouted:

“If you don’t even provide a day’s rations, won’t the wild animals I have released in the mountains be in trouble?

Won’t they all be eaten by these beasts?

It’s late autumn now, the hunting season, and I still want to go hunting!”

"......"

Li Shimin was speechless. This rebellious son was not even considering the results of the soldiers' training.

The first thing he considered was that he couldn't go hunting in late autumn, the bastard.

"This..." Xue Rengui was also stunned by what Li Shen said. He really had not considered this issue.

He forgot about the many animals he kept in the back hills.

"You must immediately issue an order that whoever kills my prey will not be allowed to eat meat for three months.

Humph, which team secretly hunts and eats meat, the whole team will be held responsible, and those who know about it but fail to report it will be punished more severely.

If you report something, you will be exempted from punishment and allowed to eat meat every meal.

These bastards."

Li Shen was very angry as he had been planning to go hunting in the next few days.

Late autumn is the best time for hunting, as the wild animals are fat.

"Yes, I will notify you immediately."

Xue Rengui waved his hand and Zhao Tiejun immediately took the order outside.

The first purpose of the Imperial Guard Battalion is to do everything for Prince Ji.

In addition to military regulations, the military discipline of the Guard Camp also includes many other items, such as serving King Ji's enjoyment as the first principle.

"Bastard thing."

When Li Shen finished venting his anger and calmed down, Li Shimin, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

The behavior of this rebellious son in front of him is exactly the same as those of the incompetent emperors of the previous dynasty.

In order to enjoy themselves, many foolish rulers ignored the suffering of the people and spent a lot of money and resources to mobilize the army for their own enjoyment.

"Aye."

Li Shen was shocked, not knowing how he had offended his father again.

"It is not easy to train soldiers. Now it is late autumn and the night in the mountains is extremely cold. You, a rebellious son, actually wanted to enjoy yourself.

Ignoring the safety of the soldiers, have you forgotten King You of Zhou?"

Li Shimin scolded angrily.

Wasn't King You of Zhou the one who played tricks on the princes by lighting beacons? Of course Li Shen knew about it.

But Li Shen was a little confused, as he had nothing to do with King You of Zhou.

How can you lose your kingdom if I don't allow hunting?

"Aye, isn't it a bit inappropriate to compare me to King You of Zhou?"

Li Shen asked cautiously.

"What's the difference between you and him? You know, the nights in late autumn can be freezing.

It is especially cold in the mountains.

If they don't eat some meat to replenish their energy, how can they withstand the severe cold?

Several dukes have said that you know military affairs, but now it seems that you, Prince Ji, are just fooling around."

Li Shimin was well-versed in military books and had led troops in battles. Although he was not a military god, he was still a talented general.

Because he had fought in wars, Li Shimin cared most about his soldiers.

How could he not be angry when Li Shen acted like this?

"I...I...I never said I knew anything about military affairs.

Besides, it is indeed late autumn now, and the nights are extremely cold, but... you can wear warm clothes."

Li Shen said timidly.

"......"

This time Li Shimin had nothing to say. He overlooked one thing: his son was rich.

The equipment of the Ji Wang Mansion Guard Battalion is the most expensive and complete.
