Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

There is a saying that goes, "A big man changes like a tiger, a villain changes his face, a gentleman changes like a leopard." (A big man grows and changes rapidly like a tiger showing its patterns, a small man just changes his face to please others, and a gentleman is like a leopard, born in a bad environment. , born ugly, but will eventually transform through continuous improvement of oneself, and this process is slow.) Note 1

And our King Chu naturally wants to choose the most powerful one.

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, when you see Prince Consort Chai later, please don't speak for now and let me explain the situation to him." It must be said that Dou Shilun was always making plans for Li Kuan wholeheartedly at any time.

"If I don't care, I will kill the Turks!" Two days later. Looking at the vaguely visible Shuofang City in front of him, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had already adjusted his emotions, turned back and glanced at his cadres: As long as he takes these people with him and adds his three thousand shadow assassins, he is sure to imitate the champion prince. The game turned out to be a surprise, so when Dou Shilun proposed to go to Shuofang to join Chai Shao's army, Li Kuan refused without thinking: "It's not like you don't know who my uncle is. In the past, he listened to my aunt the most. My aunt loved me very much during her lifetime. Do you think if I were to serve under my uncle, I would still have a chance to fight? Uncle Dou, do you think I am a fool?"

"..." Dou Shilun looked at His Highness the King of Chu who was questioning him with an indignant look, and felt speechless for a while. He really didn't think His Highness the King of Chu could be so smart in this kind of thing before.

"Mr. Dou," Jiang went to see Dou Shilun on the side and was in a dilemma for a moment. He suddenly advised him: "When your highness came down, he had the intention of going to the battlefield to protect his family and country, but now you want him to stay here honestly." In the army, Mr. Dou..." Jiang Qu pointed to the "King of Chu Man" who was riding a white horse and said, "Do you think this is realistic?"

"Yes!" Seeing someone speaking for him, Li Kuan immediately echoed: "Is this realistic?!"

"Alas..." Dou Shilun let out a long sigh, knowing that he could not defeat the master of the family, so he could only nod his head and said: "Your Highness is going to the battlefield, right? Okay, I can promise you, but there is one thing I want to make clear first. When you get to the battlefield, you will definitely Don't act rashly, Jiang Qu will protect you. If it comes to a critical moment, you must obey Jiang Qu's arrangements."

"I promise you!" Li Kuan responded loudly without even thinking about it.

And Jiang Qu...he just feels unlucky now...

The little bastard made it clear that he "will no longer accept military orders abroad"...otherwise, how could he agree so happily? !

"Your Highness, I am also watching you." Dou Shilun obviously knew what Li Kuan was thinking and immediately added.

"Then who will command the team?" Li Kuan squinted at Dou Shilun: "To tell you the truth, I have eight words for fighting: adapt to local conditions, make the best use of the situation, and so on. I have studied "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and this book is The only thing Wang can remember now is the title of the book!"

Perhaps Li Kuan spoke too loudly. Jiang Sheng, who was walking at the front and responsible for clearing the way, almost trembled when he heard this and almost fell off his horse! Most of the guards around Li Kuan also laughed in good faith.

Good guy... It seems that our family leader is a wonderful person...

As the most elite heavy cavalry in the world, the art of war, or tactics, is nothing to these black-armored knights. Just pick one of them at random and command a small-scale cavalry battle. Not a problem.

But in fact, the more experienced veterans are in the battlefield, the more they understand that in real war, most of the time, human life is exchanged for human life. It is normal for both sides to set up their formations and fight in a regular manner.

They have naturally experienced the ingenuity of soldiers and the defeat of many with less, but in their long military careers, the latter are in the minority after all, while the former are often the norm.

"By the way," Li Kuan suddenly remembered something: "My archery skills are very powerful!"

"Master, what's a great trick? Let me see it for you?" A middle-aged man following Jiang Qu said with a smile.

"Hey! Then you have to watch it!" Li Kuan saw someone coming to cheer him up. He looked around and saw Jiang Sheng, who was about forty steps away from him, taking out a steamed bun from his arms (Tang (It can also be called "cage cake" at that time)) Just as he was about to start eating, Li Kuan suddenly said: "Jiang Sheng, throw the steamed bun high!"

"Ah?" Jiang Sheng was stunned when he heard the words. He turned around and saw that Li Kuan had taken off the long bow from his back, took out an arrow from his waist and then stringed the bow. He immediately understood the other party's intention. Just in time, he thought I know how good the master’s archery skills are.

Afterwards, Jiang Sheng threw the steamed buns high.

And Li Kuan's whole momentum changed at this time!

I saw him holding his breath and concentrating, and after aiming at the target, he released the bow string.

"Shh!"

The arrow flew out and hit the falling steamed bun at once. Due to the inertia, when the arrow passed through the middle of the steamed bun, it carried the steamed bun away for a certain distance, and then the steamed bun continued to fall.

At this time, Li Kuan had already drawn the bow and arrow again and shot the second arrow!

"Shh!"

Once again, the arrow hit the steamed bun that had changed its direction.

"Okay!" There was a burst of cheers from all around.

But Li Kuan had no expression on his face. He stared at the steamed bun that was about to fall to the ground, and then shot the third arrow!

"Shh!"

This arrow shot out and hit the falling steamed bun again. However, due to the strength and angle of Li Kuan's last arrow, the steamed bun was hung on the arrow shaft. As the arrow penetrated into the ground, it became a "steamed bun skewer". ".

"Drive!" Li Kuan urged his horse and accelerated to the "Steamed Bun Skewers". At the moment when the two crossed each other, he leaned his body to the right and reached out to fish out the "Steamed Bun Skewers!"

"Cai!" This cheer came from Dou Shilun's mouth. He looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was biting a steamed bun and showing off to the people around him with a smile, and said with emotion: "This shooting star catches the moon, it's really beautiful."

"His Royal Highness's equestrian skills are not bad either." Jiang Qu, who was standing beside him, naturally knew that Li Kuan had learned archery from the Supreme Emperor, but he also thought about the King of Chu who watched his grandfather throw wine glasses so well. Your Highness, it is possible to be in such a situation today.

But in fact, the reason why Li Kuan was able to practice archery to perfection was not only his own talent and diligent practice, but also had something to do with his shadow assassins.

In the past year, while testing the lethality of crossbows, Li Kuan discovered that as his archery skills improved, the accuracy of the crossbows used by the Shadow Assassins would also improve, so he thought that since he could affect the Assassin's ability value, in turn, if the Shadow Assassin practices archery a lot, can it give back to himself?

So, he began to conduct such experiments in private.

Of course, the results proved that this was indeed effective, but relatively speaking, the role of the Shadow Assassins in improving Li Kuan's abilities was extremely small. Maybe the Shadow Assassins shooting a thousand targets was equivalent to Li Kuan's own archery practice. He was shot once, but fortunately, this thing was better than nothing. Anyway, there was no one else in Yushan Villa, and he didn't worry about anyone discovering his secret, so almost day and night alternated, and his shadow assassins began to shoot wildly at the target, plus he After a lot of hard work in this regard, over time, we have reached today's situation.

But no matter what, what Li Kuan is looking forward to most is that in the future, on the battlefield, the Shadow Assassins will accumulate a lot through a lot of battles, and eventually quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes - Li Kuan believes that it won't be long before he will become a master. .

Although he is now an excellent archer, in terms of close combat, Li Kuan is not very lethal except that he can make his father's horse pole so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary people to approach. After all, close combat is a matter of , His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was obsessed with archery at first, never considered it at all.

"Mr. Dou!" While everyone was still cheering for their master, a black-armored knight serving as a scout came galloping from a distance. He came to Dou Shilun and said respectfully: "There are border troops ahead. Do you want to contact the scouts?"
