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

The plan Li Shen finally chose was to escape from the city, which is also a common plot in TV dramas and novels. In addition, Li Shen modified the plan based on some characteristics of this era.

However, an important part of this plan is the need for an army. Otherwise, Chang'an has a population of one million, and it would be too difficult to throw 3000 people into it.

This requires Li Shen to borrow troops. Who is the best person to borrow troops for military operations in Chang'an City? Of course it's his father Li Shimin. So Li Shen waited until the next court meeting the next day, and then Li Shen went to the palace to find Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin went down to the court, he watched the memorial in Liangyi Hall. But he always felt that something was going on with his eyelids twitching. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a eunuch at the door reporting to King Li Shen asking for an audience. Li Shimin knew that this premonition must come from Li Shen.

"I've met Aye, but I miss you so much after not seeing him for a few days. I came here to see Aye today. Aye's complexion is rosy and he must be in good health." Li Shen started to flatter him when he came up.

"Tell me, what's going on? I'm in good health. I don't need you to tell me." Li Shimin's health is indeed much better. I have been drinking the medicinal wine given by Li Shen for several years. His previous hidden wounds are almost healed. Plus some exercise methods given by Li Shen. Today's physical fitness is still the same as before.

"Look, Aye, I came here just to see you."

"Okay. I don't know what your virtues are yet. What evil things did you do this time? Let me bear it for you." Li Shimin would not believe Li Shen's words.

"Uh... You don't have to be so direct. After all, you are also me, Aye. But there is a small thing to say. I want to ask Aye for a small favor, and I hope Aye can agree." Li Shen also made special gestures with his hands. A small meaning

"Hmph. Let's talk about it first." How could Li Shimin be fooled?

"I want to borrow the Beiya Imperial Army from Aye," Li Shen said cautiously, observing Li Shimin's expression.

"Come here, drag me out and beat him with forty sticks." After hearing this, Li Shimin became furious. Are you going to rebel?

The Beiya Forbidden Army originated from the direct troops of Li Yuan during the rebellion. This group of troops was also the main force during the "Xuanwumen Revolution", with approximately 3 people.

After the mutiny was successful, Li Shimin increased it to [-] to [-] and became a private armed force under the emperor's personal control. The Beiya Forbidden Army adopted not the government army system but the recruitment system.

The emperor manages and pays the emperor, so the weapons and equipment of the Beiya Imperial Army are the best. They usually do not need to farm and only need military training. Their only purpose is to protect the emperor.

How could Li Shimin not be angry when Li Shen said that he wanted to borrow the Beiya Imperial Army. It is a taboo that no one can come into contact with the Imperial Guard.

"No, no, no, no. Aye, you misunderstood. Listen to me." Li Shen saw the military guards coming in at the door. Immediately beg for mercy from Li Shimin

"Hmph, tell me, let me hear if you want to rebel." Li Shimin said with a dark face.

"Aye, I just want the Beiya Imperial Army to conduct a military exercise with the guards in my house." Li Shen quickly explained

"Drill, drill, what? What can your 3000 people drill?" Li Shimin said nonchalantly.

"That's it, Aye. I want to select a group of elite special operations teams. The number doesn't need to be too many. These people not only need to be superior in force, but also need to be composed of people with flexible minds and skills.

I need these people to be personally strong and able to get things done under extremely difficult circumstances. This cannot be achieved by pure force.

They can perform armed reconnaissance, escort operations, counterattack operations, special reconnaissance, and even decapitation operations. "Li Shen explained to Li Shimin the only concepts he knew about special forces.

"Beheading operation?" Li Shimin immediately said that the emperor was very interested in military affairs.

"Yes, the beheading operation was just like what Qin Qiong did back then, where thousands of troops took the heads of generals. But we infiltrated secretly and killed all the enemy generals without anyone noticing.

Destroy their command system, and when our army arrives, they will be leaderless and will be in chaos. Can't we take advantage of the opportunity to win? "Li Shen began to explain the beheading operation to Li Shimin.

"Li Shen, why do you want a team like this?" Li Shimin asked seriously after hearing Li Shen's explanation.

"Aye, since I opened the paper mill, I have started to feel insecure. I feel that the family will not let it go. I even guess that they will attack me. I am not afraid of Aye's jokes, but I am very afraid of death."

Seeing Li Shen's sincere words, Li Shimin was also considering the credibility of Li Shen's words. The conflict between Li Shen and the family would become more and more serious. A single papermaking mill had already damaged the foundation of the family. Li Shimin also felt that the family would definitely not give up.

Li Shimin was not afraid that Li Shen would use this team to deal with him. Li Shimin was a general and was quite confident in himself. He was afraid that Li Shen would fight against the prince or Li Tai in order to fight for the throne.

"Aye, I just want to protect myself. I don't want to be the emperor. Besides, Aye can also send people to monitor."

"Okay, I believe you. There is no need for surveillance. Then what use do you plan to borrow the troops for?" Li Shimin will believe it whether it is true or not. As for whether to monitor or not, only Li Shimin himself knows.

"This is not about selecting talents. I thought of a method. This method can not only complete my selection of characters, but also test the defense capabilities of Chang'an City and the city defense capabilities of the Forbidden Army." As he said, Li Shen finished writing. Show Li Shimin’s plan

Li Shen explained from the side, "I want 3000 people to enter Chang'an silently. They will stay in Chang'an City for five days. During these five days, the imperial army will arrest them."

"Then how can we know if they are guards? This will disrupt the order of Chang'an." Li Shimin asked.

"Aye, we can definitely regard these 3000 people as rebels or rebels. They want to cause huge damage to Chang'an three days after entering the city.

These people are carrying weapons and equipment. If this is true, how can Aye solve it. Tens of thousands of people enter Chang'an every day, and tens of thousands of people leave Chang'an. This kind of thing is not impossible.

If 3000 people rebelled and massacred people in the city, there would be at least tens of thousands of casualties. Therefore, we should always discover some shortcomings in our management and correct them. Don't Aye want to know what shortcomings the Forbidden Army has in defending the city?" Li Shen's words penetrated deeply into Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shen is right. If there is any cult or rebellion that sneaks into Chang'an secretly, even if it does not pose a threat to the palace, it will cause heavy losses if it causes some damage.

"Then how many people do you think the Forbidden Army needs to dispatch?" Li Shimin was obviously moved.

"Look how confident Aye is. How many people do you think you can touch and capture these 3000 people?" Li Shen said with a smile.

"Then touch the [-] Imperial Guards and the Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards guarding the city."

"Okay. Let's start tomorrow. I will ask each of them to bring a token. If the token is lost, it will be considered a failure. Everyone will be issued a weapon.

As for how to transport it into Chang'an, it depends on their own ability. Please tell Aye to the Forbidden Army. If all these 3000 people are caught. I let them eat meat for a month. what do you think. Li Shen said

"Are you so confident in the palace guards? My imperial army is elite." Seeing Li Shen's behavior, Li Shimin prepared to strike.

"Aye. If you want to compare with the battlefield killing, it will definitely not be as good as the Forbidden Army. But this is probably your first time arresting someone." Li Shen said with a smile.

"Hmph, the elite are the elite, just wait. Tell An Li about the rest and ask him to inform the Forbidden Army. Do you know that just a curfew can reveal the true colors of these 3000 of you." Li Shimin was confident. full

"That's not necessarily the case. They have undergone strict training. I believe they should have a way. Just don't feel embarrassed when the time comes." Li Shen was equally confident.

"Okay, let's wait and see. Starting tomorrow, it will take five days. Let's see who can laugh last." Li Shimin said to Li Shen domineeringly.

"Then I will go back and make arrangements now. General Li, please tell the Forbidden Army. These 3000 people will have my letters with my small seal on them. Those who get the letters and catch them will be eliminated." After finishing speaking, Li Shen said goodbye and went back to make arrangements.
