Four hundred and ninetieth chapters build a gladiatorial arena
There was no valuable news coming from Chang'an, and it had been three days since Murong Shun's challenge.**%%* In these three days, Li Ke carefully watched the training of Xue Chong, Xue Rengui, Fang Yiai and others, and felt that they had the strength to fight Tuyuhun.
Therefore, when Li Ke returned to the Northern Palace, he asked Wang Zhongchang to reply to Murong Shun, and the Army Academy accepted the challenge of Tuyuhun.
However, Li Ke delayed the game until ten days later. He delayed the game for ten days. The first thing was to give Xue Rengui and Fang Yiai and other training time. Another purpose was that he wanted to build a arena! Murong Shun dared to come to Taiyuan so boldly to challenge his authority. He had to give Murong Shun a little color to let him know that his authority is not so easy to provoke, and if he wanted to provoke, he had to pay a price.
Therefore, the purpose of building a arena is to allow all the people of Taiyuan City to watch this duel. First, Murong Shun completely wiped out his face and let him roll out of Taiyuan with his tail between his legs; second, it is to cultivate a warlike and bloodthirsty mentality for the people of Taiyuan, so that they can be proud of their Tang people, and to make them take martial arts first.
After hearing Wang Zhongchang conveying Li Ke's meaning, Murong Shun not only did not object, but instead said generously that he could wait. This time he came to Taiyuan City to challenge the Army Academy, with the purpose of making it famous in the Tang Dynasty, and to humiliate the students of the Army Academy. This time, the duel was placed in the entire Taiyuan City so that the people of Taiyuan City could see it. This was the best for him, how could he object!
Therefore, Murong Shun politely sent Wang Zhongchang out of the inn.
When he watched Wang Zhongchang leave and returned to his courtyard, he found that dozens of Tuyuhun guards had appeared in the courtyard.
"How are they training?" Murong Shun asked a tall and strong man with strong arms.
"Prince, please rest assured. These guards are all warriors I have carefully selected from Khan's Jingwei. They have all been on the battlefield and killed people. After the baptism of war, they are definitely not comparable to those of Tang soldiers from Li Ke's Army Academy who have never seen blood or been on the battlefield!" The strong man said respectfully to Murong Shun, but his tone revealed absolute confidence.
"Well, I'm very relieved when you do things!" Murong Shun said lightly to the strong man, "Continue to train!"
"Yes," replied the strong man.
Seeing the strong man leaving the courtyard with dozens of people, Murong Shun showed a sneer on his face, "Li Ke is not that easy to deal with, but I am prepared this time, how can I lose to him again!"
After saying that, a cold and cold light appeared on his face, "Let the people of Taiyuan City watch the battle. The most worthy King of Northern is just to have courage, but you will definitely lose this time! Humph!"
Wang Zhongchang returned to the Northern Palace and told Li Ke about the content of his conversation with Murong Shun. Li Ke didn't say anything, but ordered Wang Zhongchang to continue training. He began to order people to invite Di Zhixun and Li Yan, and then duel with Murong Shun. He had to strengthen his momentum. If the Army Academy wins, his reputation will increase greatly. In addition, letting the two of them come to the Royal Palace, it is to discuss the construction of a arena. It is definitely a huge project to build a large-scale arena. It requires the Taiyuan Governor's Mansion to do its best. He must notify the two main officials of the Governor's Mansion and give orders to the two themselves.
Li Yan and Di Zhixun knew the reason why Li Ke recruited him to the royal palace on the way to Taiyuan Mansion. When they saw Li Ke in the study, Li Ke was writing something on a piece of white paper.
"Did you know that Murong Shun wants to make an appointment with the Army Academy?" Li Ke put down the pen in the book and said to the two.
"It was only today that Weichen and the others understood the whole story!" Li Yan replied.
"I have agreed to Murong Shun, and the Army Academy will accept his challenge. Moreover, this challenge is something that all the people of Taiyuan can see. Therefore, if you want to build a arena in Taiyuan, you only have ten days, and you must complete it within ten days!" Li Ke wanted to ask Li Yan and Di Zhixun.
"Ten days?" Di Zhixun repeated, with a look of distress on his face, but he still asked, "I wonder what His Highness has to ask for the arena?"
Indeed, it may not be enough to build a arena of ten days, but it also depends on the scale and specific requirements!
"I have already drawn the specific requirements and shapes of the arena on this piece of paper, and have been marked in many places. You will go and have a good look!" Li Ke handed the paper that had just written on the desk to Di Zhixun while speaking.
Di Zhixun took the drawings and spread them out with Li Yan, and then he felt confident.
"Don't worry, your Highness, there is absolutely no problem with the governor's mansion building such a battlefield within ten days!" Li Yan replied to Li Ke. After reading the drawings, he was very confident.
The arena on the drawings of Li Ke is actually a simple arena like ancient Rome. With the current architectural technology and level of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to build such a arena.
That's why Li Yan dared to say so affirmatively after reading the drawings.
"Also, this duel with Murong Shun is undoubtedly a propaganda to the Army Academy. If you want to build momentum for the Army Academy, you must let everyone in Bingzhou know within these ten days!" Li Ke continued.
"I'm going to be a good friend next year!" Di Zhixun replied.
After saying goodbye to Li Ke, Li Yan and Di Zhixun left the Northern Prince's Mansion, and they got on Li Yan's frame together.
"Tonghuai, what do you mean by Your Highness Beiwang?" Li Yan wanted to ask Di Zhixun.
"Actually... I don't know either!" Di Zhixun asked in confusion, "Your Highness is not as cautious as before. Instead, he wants to publicize it. It is indeed his previous principles of doing things!"
"Yes... I'm also wondering. Does the small Tuyuhun Murongshun need His Highness to mobilize so many people?" Li Yan said in confusion, "If this matter is spread to Chang'an and is exploited by those who are interested, the emperor may misunderstand Your Highness!"
Li Yan said that Li Ke had built such a big fanfare to allow students from the Army Academy to duel with Murong Shun, which was not in line with his previous image, and even more in line with his identity. It was a bit unfaithful. Li Ke now has few close friends in the Chang'an Center, so Li Yan was worried about what Li Shimin views Li Ke.
"We don't have to worry too much about this. When the Emperor left Chang'an, the emperor told him that the court would not interfere in Taiyuan's government and military affairs within five years. Besides, the Emperor was very sensible in his work. He dared to mobilize all his troops to agree to duel with Murong Shun. He must have an idea in his heart. The Emperor would not misunderstand Your Highness." Di Zhixun thought for a moment and said to Li Yan with certainty.
"I hope this is the case!" Li Yan also replied lightly, but he was not as optimistic about Li Ke's actions as Di Zhixun.
After all, he worked with Li Ke for four years, but he didn't have a long time to get in touch with him and didn't have much contact with him. He never knew Li Ke like Di Zhixun.
Furthermore, Li Yan was still thinking about it, that is, Li Ke is now powerful, and is truly inferior to tens of thousands of people. He was afraid that Li Ke would not be able to withstand the temptation of this power, and had begun to become arrogant and arrogant, so he would dare to mobilize his troops to duel with Murong Shun.
Therefore, with this idea, Li Yan still felt very relieved even after listening to Di Zhixun's explanation.
When Di Zhixun saw Li Yan's expression that was difficult to let go, he sighed secretly and thought to himself, after all, he is a great family! He has been thinking too many questions, so he still doesn't feel at ease with Your Highness! But he is not talking either.
