The issue of the Imperial Guard is not Zhang Shigui's problem. To be clear, the Imperial Guard sometimes serves as a part-time position.

Sometimes, when you see a duke in Chang'an, you will be the one who serves as a little bit, but these dukes will turn a blind eye.

The main reason is that many guards still have a lot of nepotism, so they just treat it as a waste of time. This is also impossible.

After all, they don’t have so much energy and time, so the imperial guards do not have enough training. Of course, these soldiers are also used to life without training.

Perhaps from the beginning, these dukes never thought that these imperial guards would go to the battlefield.

This has led to the current situation. You should know that you have enough time to rest every day, but you still look unsightly.

So who should blame him? Even Zhang Shigui is hard to say. If we count it, the real leader of the imperial guards should be His Majesty.

Of course, Zhang Shigui didn't dare to say this sentence, but he also felt that life for the imperial guards would be difficult in the future.

"I wonder how Yafu believes how to improve the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards?"

Although Li Shimin looked ugly, he still asked, "You must know that Xue Rengui was taught by this Asian father."

If others don’t know, how could he not know that this Asian father is also a military training expert.

As for the other side, Zhang Shigui was also quite surprised. Although he had heard many rumors about An Xuangong, he thought there were some differences.

But it seems that this is not the case now, and Zhang Shigui also listened in a slant, wanting to know what this An Xuan Gong has.

"There are many methods, we need to see which one Shimin chose."

Shu An said with a slight voice, obviously he also had a lot of sighs about the imperial guards, and you should know that the Tang imperial guards in later generations were basically useless.

Even the border towns could not be defeated, and the troops were defeated like mountains and the imperial guards did not have enough power to suppress everything, and the dynasty was destined to not be stable.

But no one realized this, of course it was too late to recognize the people.

Shu'an's words wanted to change the situation. Even if someone rebelled at the border, the imperial guards would not have no combat power.

When Li Shimin heard Yafu's words, his eyes lit up slightly. Sure enough, Yafu had a way.

"The first method is to train the imperial guards like ordinary soldiers."

"And there must be strict training. If the soldiers who have not completed the training, they will be directly expelled from the imperial guards."

"If you persist like this, your combat effectiveness will inevitably be improved in the long run."

"If Shimin needs it, then the academy is willing to provide a set of training methods."

Shu An continued to speak out, "No rules can be formed, and if you don't have actual combat, you can only train to death."

This is a method that requires hard work, and it depends on whether Li Shimin can make up his mind.

"Then Yafu thinks that if the imperial guards follow the academy method, how many people can be left behind?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and asked, "How could he not know the problem of the Imperial Guard?", but there was nothing he could do about it."

You should know that there are also many people involved in the Imperial Guard, some of whom came from the royal family, some of whom were nephews, and some of them were also involved.

Although I don’t know how the training method of the academy is, I guess it will never be easy. He has also heard of Xue Rengui’s method of training troops.

After all, Xue Rengui had gained a lot of face for this emperor before, so Li Shimin naturally got to know him.

If so, then it can be promoted, but later I found out that it was destined to be impossible.

Because there is too much food and meat consumed, this is only barely maintained by Li Shimin’s subsidy in the inner court, and it is even more impossible to promote it.

Li Shimin is not as rich as that, but he also knows how ruthless Xue Rengui's training method is.

"According to the current situation of the imperial guards, one-third should be able to leave behind."

Shu An thought about it and said, fortunately, it was only the fifth year of Zhenguan, and these imperial guards still retained a lot of foundation.

If there are another ten or twenty years, then I guess one ten will remain.

"Why don't know what else?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed and continued to speak, one-third of them were still too small.

"The next method depends on whether Shimin is determined."

"That is to put all the soldiers into the competition, and the most elite soldiers were selected into the imperial guards."

"The battle will be re-contested every year or three years, so that the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards can be guaranteed."

Shu'an's voice continued to sound without hesitation, but this method was a bit hurtful for some teams in border towns.

After all, it is equivalent to drawing out all the elites among these people. In fact, in Shu'an's opinion, if he wants to strengthen control over border towns, this method is good.

However, Li Shimin probably didn't expect to control the border town yet. After all, the alien race now put a lot of pressure on the Tang Dynasty.

Sure enough, after hearing this method, Li Shimin shook his head. If this method was the case, then most of the Dukes who were from generals in the court would probably object.

"Then there's one last method left."

"Treat the imperial guards as a mansion and participate in the competition. The winner is the imperial guards, and the time limit can also be agreed upon."

However, if the first two methods do not work, there is another method, which is to swap teams.

As for the current failure of these imperial guards, they would become border troops.

This method also made Li Shimin hesitate, but compared with the previous two methods, it is more acceptable.

After all, the first method basically requires reorganizing the imperial guards, which requires too much manpower and material resources.

For the second method, there are too many people to stop it. Although the last method also prevents it, the resistance will obviously be much smaller.

Of course, Li Shimin still needs to think about this matter, and obviously he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with these imperial guards.

As for Zhang Shigui's expression on the side, he was a little stiff. An Xuangong did have many methods and it looked reliable.

But no matter which point you choose, the current imperial guards will probably be a little difficult.

Of course, it is impossible to blame An Xuan Gong for this matter. After all, the soldiers of the Imperial Army are indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

Zhang Shigui was not worried about himself, but he was a little worried about this soldier.

I just hope that this time the Imperial Guard can perform well in Liaodong and dispel some of His Majesty’s thoughts. Otherwise, the Imperial Guard will not be sure of the future.

Shu An looked at Li Shimin without caring about it, nor did he bother him. In his opinion, the imperial guards must be changed, at least to change the weak situation in the future.
