Emperor Yang Guang has already announced that he cannot lose and must win a great victory.
So in the Sui Dynasty, those selected for the challenge must be absolutely hard-core. In this regard, the Sixteenth Guards General did not dare to play tricks. The list sent up was also the most capable group of ruthless people under each government.
people.
Yang Ming browsed carefully and after discussing with the Sixteenth Guards Military Mansion, he finalized the final list.
On the Sui side, there were sixteen men, all of whom were strong men with strong martial arts skills, skilled in bow and horse, and were all masters of wrestling.
Wrestling is not popular among nobles because of the inelegant fighting postures. However, it is especially popular among the military. Wrestling is the least likely way to get hurt in the military, so it is often used for fun.
Zuo Yiwei was the sixth son of Laizheng who came to protect the children. He was extremely brave and was known as Rong Liulang.
You Yiwei is the eldest son of Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhuaji, nicknamed the Frivolous Young Master.
Zuo Xiaowei is Duan Jin, the eldest son of Duan Wenzhen, the minister of the Ministry of War. He is now the general of Zuo Xiaowei Wuya Lang.
You Xiaowei is Liang Shidu, the subordinate of Liang Bi, the Minister of Punishment, and is now the Hussar General.
Zuo Wuwei is the famous Qin Shubao who is the confidant of Laihuer.
You Wuwei was the son of Pei Renji, the former Sima of the Han Dynasty, Pei Xingyan.
Zuo Tunwei was Shi Wansui's younger brother Shi Wanbao, nicknamed Chang'an Hero.
Youtunwei is Li An's son, Li Xiaogong.
The guard on the left is the little overlord Yang Xuanzang, the current hussar general.
Youhouwei is the son of Luo Rong, the general of Zuojianmen, Luo Yi.
Zuo Yuwei, Li Xuantong.
Right guard, Su Lie.
...

Among these people, Shi Wanbao is the only one who is older, the others are all okay, and there are a few who are fifteen or sixteen years old.
They are considered to be the most outstanding among the Sixteen Guards, and most of them are from good backgrounds.
This is normal. Civil and martial arts are only accessible to wealthy people. Common people have no chance to study, let alone learn martial arts.
Those who learned martial arts in the Sui Dynasty could basically be regarded as talented students for future generations, and they could only be cultivated by spending a lot of money.
Yang Ming was quite satisfied with this list. Li Jing originally wanted to give it a try, but Yang Ming was not very optimistic about his martial arts skills.
You are a handsome man, and it was not you who charged into battle.
Among those with the highest prestige in the Sui Dynasty military, Shi Wansui was a real fighter, not an ordinary fighter, but could be said to be the most capable. The others were all Confucian generals.
But you can't use Shi Wansui to fight. You are killing a chicken with a bull's-eye and insulting others.
Yang Ming's master was quite famous in the countries of the Western Regions, because earlier, Shi Wansui was implicated in General Er Zhuji's rebellion and was sent to Dunhuang by Yang Jian to serve as a garrison.
It was during this period that Shi Wansui often rode alone into the Turkic tribes, rampaging and being invincible, so he was given the title of "enemy of ten thousand people". This title was recognized by both the Sui Dynasty and the Turks.
In just one day's work, the list was finalized. Yang Ming was satisfied, as were the generals of the Sixteenth Guards.
These people will set off from the various camps of the Sixteenth Guards in Guanzhong, work hard, and arrive at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing two days later.

Li Baiyao is not idle here either. It is actually very easy to let Princess Qi know about her husband's scandal.
Because Wei Ting, the younger brother of Concubine Wei, was good friends with Li Baiyao. To be more precise, they were fair-weather friends.
What kind of person has the most friends? Of course, he is the type of person who hangs out in romantic places all year round, attends various banquets and parties, and is generous with his money and often foots the bill.
Commonly known as being taken advantage of.
Li Baiyao was able to spend almost all the money left behind by his father. First of all, he spent it on women, and the rest was paid for.
Yang Ming rarely attends various gatherings, so he doesn't have many friends.
Wei Ting is seventeen years old and works in the East Palace. He is the bodyguard of the Crown Prince Yang Zhao. He was severely beaten by Yang Guang because of whether the Crown Prince's condition was leaked.
The injury has long since healed, but he made an excuse and still received his salary to play outside, and no one cared about him. After all, his clan sister was the princess.
In fact, I just don't want to go to work, because being a guard for the prince is both fat and hard work, and my young mind cannot bear that crime.
After Wei Ting heard about the fight, he was already entangled with his friends and planned to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to watch the fun.
He himself is certainly not worried about not having a seat, but many of his friends are not good enough to get tickets.
If he asked his father for help, he might get scolded, so he thought of Li Baiyao, because his good friend Li Baiyao was a wine sacrificer at the Prince of Qin's Palace, and this fight was arranged by the Prince of Qin's Palace.
This is called God's will.
Li Baiyao was still thinking about what excuse to use to meet his good friend, but Wei Ting himself came to his door.
That night, Wei Ting bypassed the Duke's Mansion of Chu and then entered the Li Mansion.
Li Baiyao and Yang Su were neighbors, and they relied on this convenience to have a private meeting with Yang Su's concubine over the wall.
When he was young, he was indeed very perverted and daring, but he is better now. Firstly, he is older, and secondly, Yang Ming is suppressing him.
"I'm bothering you because I really want to ask my brother for a favor." When asking for help, of course you have to have a good attitude, even though the two haven't played together for a long time.
After Li Baiyao asked the other party to sit down, he smiled and said: "Brother Xian is out of town. If you have any questions, just tell me. If you can help me, I will definitely help."
Wei Ting said hey: "I have some friends here who also want to join in the fun at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Unfortunately, there is no place. I hope my brother can make some arrangements."
"It's easy to talk about," Li Baiyao smiled and nodded: "How many people."
Wei Ting said: "Don't count me, one hundred and thirty-seven."
Damn it...Li Baiyao suddenly looked embarrassed.
The school grounds in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing are very large, and the surrounding viewing platforms can accommodate more than 6,000 people. However, the problem is that there will be many important people going to observe on that day.
Just the eldest princess Yang Lihua has to arrange more than 300 positions. Other important figures such as Guan Wang Yang Xiong, Minister of War Li Yuantong, etc. will occupy many positions. In addition, there are not many left in the Qin Palace.

Seeing Li Baiyao in trouble, Wei Ting said hey: "Brother, please help me. I'll invite you to Jinyang Tower to have some fun someday."
Can't we change places? I don't want to go to Jinyang Tower...
Li Baiyao nodded reluctantly: "Okay, brother, there is something that has been stuck in my heart for many days. It is difficult to talk about it, and I feel uncomfortable not to say it. I will forget it after hearing it, and don't spread it."
Wei Ting was stunned: "Brother, it's okay to say it. If you don't say it, you will not recognize me as your brother."
"That's it..." Li Baiyao called the other person over and cooed for a while.
Wei Ting's face turned from red to blue, and from green to green.
He didn't doubt that Li Baiyao was lying. After all, they were old friends and he still knew Li Baiyao. Although this kid was short-tongued, he never lied.
After listening, Wei Ting said nothing and lowered his head in silence.
Li Baiyao said: "My dear brother, just know it well and don't tell anyone, especially Wei Shangshu."
Wei Ting didn't answer, got up and left.
Li Baiyao hurriedly chased me out: "My dear brother, please don't mess around. You can't sell me out."
"Brother, don't worry, I still have this sense of loyalty," After saying that, Wei Ting strode away.
He was going to find his eldest brother-in-law Yuan Ci to find out.
I only have two sisters, why are you sleeping with them? If word spreads, how do you expect my two sisters to behave?
There is no airtight wall. In Wei Ting's opinion, if Li Baiyao knows about this, others may also know about it, maybe they are all doing it behind their backs and watching their family's jokes.
After galloping all the way, Wei Ting arrived at his brother-in-law's house and rushed in with a livid face.
When he saw Yuan Ci, he immediately dismissed the slaves and closed the door:
"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you answer me honestly. If you bully me, I'll treat you as my brother-in-law."
Yuan Ci was completely unaware of the situation and was stunned when he heard this: "Why are you doing this? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Let me ask you first, where is my sister now?" Wei Ting asked.
Yuan Ci said: "I am having a small gathering with the princess at Prince Qi's Mansion."
"She goes there often?" Wei Ting's face became increasingly ugly.
Yuan Ci probably guessed why his brother-in-law came tonight, and he nodded:
"Go often."
"You, you," Wei Ting said impatiently: "Is that person having an affair with my eldest sister?"
Yuan Ci had no expression on his face, just lowered his head and rubbed his palms on the table.
"What am I asking you?" Wei Ting said angrily.
Yuan Ci said calmly: "Who told you?"
Just hearing these words, Wei Ting knew that he was right, otherwise his brother-in-law shouldn't have reacted like this.
"You are such a waste, can't you take care of your own woman?"
Yuan Ci also said angrily: "It's not that I have an affair with King Qi, so what's the use of scolding me? Do I have any control over your elder sister's affair with someone else's concubine? Do I dare to care about it?"
Wei Ting said anxiously: "She is your wife. Why can't you control her? It's fine now. The prince is having an affair with his sister-in-law. If it gets spread, our Wei family will be completely disgraced."
Yuan Ci is indeed a bit useless, but you can't blame him. After all, when he married, Wei Chong was just the manager of Nanning Prefecture. Later, he suddenly became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the father-in-law of the King of Qi. He had long looked down on his son-in-law.
Already.
His wife, Webster, often ridiculed Yuan Ci for being a small seventh-rank official because of her strong family power.
As time passed, their family was in a state of decline. He didn't dare to ask what Webster did on a daily basis.
The reason why the adultery was discovered in the first place was because his wife Wei Shi brought King Qi to his home. If his loyal servants hadn't secretly told him, he would still have been kept in the dark.
I had to work up my courage to break in the door that day, but I got slapped several times by Yang Zhen, and I didn't even dare to let go. This cuckold was wearing a safe hat.
But from then on, King Qi stopped coming, and his wife often ran to Prince Qi's mansion.
He also thought about exposing this matter, but after weighing it, he felt that he would be the one who died if the matter was exposed, so he gave up the idea.
Wei Ting was in the room, pointing at Yuan Ci and cursing for a long time, but Yuan Ci had already resigned himself to his fate and remained silent as if he were mute.
"You might as well just die," Wei Ting said the last words and walked away angrily.
We can't just let this matter go, because Wei Ting knows that the eldest sister will not stop. If things go on like this, the news will inevitably leak out. If we stop it at that time, it will be too late.
So after leaving Yuan Mansion, he went directly to Prince Qi's Mansion.
