Han Shimou

The old man was also knowledgeable, so he went back to the village.Gradually, the sun was setting and it was getting late. The old cow cooked a few delicious side dishes and served them with good wine. The three of them ate and drank very happily.

As the night was approaching, Wen Shun had enough to eat and drink, and laughed with Lao Niu.

"It's getting late, and I'm going back too. When you arrive in Chang'an, Lao Niu, tell the sergeants in the city that you are here for a feast. Someone will guide you when the time comes."

Wen Shun was not in a hurry to reveal his identity. Hearing Wen Shun's loud tone, Lao Niu laughed and nodded in response.

"Okay! Okay! If I can't find you then, I'll call you a drunk lunatic on Chang'an Avenue, and someone will definitely come and lead me to find you!"

The old cow is also joking.Wen Shun smiled knowingly, and asked suddenly.

"That's right. Lao Niu, you said your son joined the army in Chang'an. What's his name? I'll give you a big surprise then!"

When the old cow heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately answered.

"My son is called Yangku, but he is different from me. He is good at writing when he is young. I don't hesitate to spend all my money to hire famous teachers and collect books for him. He is erudite and talented, and he is born with supernatural power. Good. I, the Western Tang Army, have always paid attention to talents, and now I will make a name for myself in the army. If you have the heart, you can find him if you want to report his name!"

"Sheep dry!?"

Wen Shun's expression froze, it was a coincidence.The cub that Lao Niu said was just one of his generals in the Qilin camp.It is said that this Yangku is only sixteen years old, but he is experienced in handling things, meticulous in thinking, hardworking and hardworking, which is highly valued by Wenshun.However, Wen Shun never imagined that Yang Kuk, who is quite dull in his daily life, has such a cheerful and honest father.

"Okay. When I go back, I will definitely meet Yangku!"

The old cow was very happy when he heard this.He had already guessed that Wenshun had an extraordinary background, and he also saw that he was a man who valued commitment, love and righteousness.Now he is willing to promise that he will never leave ten.Lao Niu hurriedly told Wen Shun to wait for a while, and then rushed to the village in a panic.After a while, the old cow rushed back, holding a big red robe in his hand, the patch on the robe was mended, it can be seen that there are many years, but it is very clean.Lao Niu handed the robe to Wen Shun, panted for a while, and then spoke.

"The weather is getting colder now. I have worked hard in the army, and that brat doesn't know how to take care of himself. If you can meet him, I will trouble you to bring me this robe."

Wen Shun took the robe carefully. Although the robe was worn out, it had an indescribable warmth, and replied in a concentrated voice.

"Don't worry, Lao Niu. I will definitely bring you this robe!"

After hearing this, the old cow gave a simple and honest smile. He smiled very happily, and he could see his yellow teeth.Afterwards, after Wenshun bid farewell to Wang Yuanji and Lao Niu, they got on their horses and headed towards Chang'an City.The old cow looked at the figures of the two leaving, and murmured.

"This pair of babies is really a perfect match~! I don't know when my bastard will get married!"

Let's say that after Wenshun returned to Chang'an City, it was the first watch at night, and the streets of Chang'an were bustling.Wen Shun led the horse and walked on the street with Wang Yuanji, watching the people coming and going and various shops, talking and laughing.On the way, the two happened to pass by Zuixianlou.Wen Shun smiled, thinking that Wang Yuanji was tired after traveling all the way, and wanted to go in to rest.At this moment, Sima Zhao walked out of the store door as if he had a heart-to-heart connection, and the first thing he saw was Wang Yuanji in light yellow clothes, his eyes lit up immediately.It's strange to say that Sima Zhao has never seen Wang Yuanji since the duel that day, and he has been thinking about this strange woman all day and night.Although Wang Yuanji was not wearing a veil, Sima Zhao recognized her at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.

"Miss Wang?!"

Wang Yuanji's heart skipped a beat when she heard Sima Zhao's call, and when she looked around, her eyebrows frowned, but she didn't want Wenshun to misunderstand her.At this time, Wen Shun's eyes were fixed, and he could see Sima Zhao's affection for Wang Yuanji, but he was not in a hurry, and smiled at Wang Yuanji.

"Ji Er, do you know this person?"

Wang Yuanji and Wenshun looked at each other, no longer concealing it, and nodded slightly.When Sima Zhao heard Wen Shun call Wang Yuanji Ji'er, his complexion changed, his eyes shone sharply, hiding a bit of hatred, and he immediately looked at Wen Shun, only to see that Wen Shun had an extraordinary demeanor, exuding a faint domineering arrogance from him , I can't help but pull in my heart.Presumably this person is Wen Shun, the son of the king of the Western Tang Dynasty.In recent days, Sima Zhao has heard a lot of gossip about their marriage.At this time, Sima Zhao heard Wang Yuanji and Wenshun answer again.

"This man is the only son of shopkeeper Ma. His name is Ma Zhao. In recent years, when he just recovered from a serious illness, he helped shopkeeper Ma in the restaurant. He has read a lot of books since he was a child. Not only is his literature excellent, but he is also involved in the art of formation and warfare. Countless talented people came to give advice. Before, I was bored at home, so I also came here to ask for advice, but I was repeatedly defeated by Mr. Ma."

Wang Yuanji said indifferently, as if she was talking about a trivial matter that is not surprising.Sima Zhao was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and suddenly bowed his hands.

"Miss Wang is absurd. Zhao only has a little bit of talent and learning, not elegant. Presumably this is my Highness Wang Shizi, who is well-known in the Western Tang Dynasty. His Highness's name is like thunder, and Zhao is lucky to have the honor to pay his respects today."

After hearing this, Wen Shun raised his sword eyebrows, became a little interested, and said with a light smile.

"Oh? Mr. Ma was able to win Ji'er. It seems that he is not an easy person. I wonder if I can get acquainted with Mr. Ma?"

"This is really a great honor, please!"

Sima Zhao bowed slightly, made a salute, and made another divination today, and the divination showed that a nobleman came to the door, and now it seems that this nobleman is Wen Shunye.Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji looked at each other, and they walked together, making Sima Zhao appear to be alone.When Sima Zhao saw Wang Yuanji beside Wenshun, he smiled like a Qianqian, his heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, there was a fire of ignorance burning in his belly.Ma Guang, who was greeting the guests, saw Wenshun and Wang Yuanji walk in, his eyes lit up, and he secretly exchanged eyes with Sima Zhao, with a clear understanding in his heart, he quickly taught his servants to prepare a quiet wing.

When they were young, the three of them came to the wing room.Sima Zhao taught his servants to bring some plates of pastries and a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.Sima Zhao was a bold and forthright man with a deep knowledge of all kinds of knowledge, and soon he chatted with Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji, and the three of them had a very happy chat.Wen Shun was also amazed at Sima Zhao's talent and learning.Gradually, Wen Shun and Sima Zhao talked about important military affairs from trivial matters at home, and the team was organized.Although Wang Yuanji knew about formations and tactics, she was not very familiar with the way of running an army, seeing that the two hit it off, she seldom interrupted.Wen Shun and Sima Zhao each expressed their own opinions, in an orderly manner, and each had his own reasons.Wen Shun paid attention to strict drills when governing the army, and all generals and schools in the army need to lead by example and strive for excellence.Only in this way can the army be united into a group, invincible in attack and invincible in battle.Sima Zhao, on the other hand, paid attention to rewards and punishments, and emphasized the law and discipline of the army, so as to drive them away with profit.The generals in charge of the army need to order the generals and schools at the higher level to use their talents and assume their duties, so that the army can move and move smoothly, advance and retreat in a proper way, and operate smoothly.

After some discussion, both of them admire each other's talents even more.Sima Zhao changed his view of Wenshun even more. From Wenshun's conversation, it is not difficult to see that Wenshun is a person who strictly disciplines himself and others, and is by no means a dude who does not learn and has no talent.However, Wen Shun didn't think as much as Sima Zhao, but felt that it was a pity that Sima Zhao was such a handsome man, wasting his time in this restaurant.Wen Shun tried to test Sima Zhao whether he wanted to be an official, but Sima Zhao politely refused, citing his poor health as an excuse.When Wen Shun heard about it, he sighed and said regretfully.

"If Mr. Ma is willing to join the army in the future, you can come and find me in the army at any time. My Qilin Camp will always open the door for you!"

"Hehe. How can Zhao Hede be so appreciated by the son, if it is convenient, Zhao will definitely go!"

Sima Zhao smiled faintly, and answered with cupped hands.Wen Shun's eyes lit up, and he applauded, and the two of them made a promise.But Wenshun didn't know that Sima Zhaoshi was the second son of Sima Yi, an important minister of the Great Wei Dynasty. He came to the Western Tang Dynasty this time because he had an important matter in mind. Once the matter was accomplished, he would flee far away. How could it be possible for him to join Wenshun's army? Become an official!Wen Shun and Sima Zhao seem to care for each other, but they neglect the beauty.Wang Yuanji was not interested, and the cakes on the table were not touched.Wen Shun soon found out, and smiled with Wang Yuanji.

"Ji'er, if you feel bored, you and I will leave first. In the future, I will meet Mr. Ma again."

Originally Sima Zhao also wanted to speak, but Wen Shun snatched his head away.When Sima Zhao heard the words, he remembered something and suddenly laughed.

"Wait a minute. After seeing Miss Wang's soldier basin earlier, Zhao was very obsessed with it. Recently, I made one myself. There is no one to fight me on weekdays. Miss Wang is here today. I wonder if you can show me your face and play against me? "

"Oh? Bow?"

Wen Shun just smiled when he heard the words.Wang Yuanji also became interested, and talked to Sima Zhao.

"With an expert here, how dare the little girl fight with the axe? Mr. Ma should ask Brother Wen for advice."

In Wang Yuanji's words, she made no secret of her admiration for Wenshun.Seeing this, Sima Zhao felt a bitterness in his heart again, suppressing his emotions silently, turned around and asked Wen Shun.

"Huh? Miss Wang once said that the military basin was made by an old man. Could it be His Royal Highness?"

"Hehe. When I was young, I had nothing to do, and I saw my father and the prime minister often used sand and stones to make formations, and talked about formations and tactics. I learned a thing or two from the sidelines, so I tried to build one."

Wen Shun smiled slightly, and Sima Zhao was amazed when he heard the words.And Wang Yuanji also seemed to want to see these two heavenly geniuses fight, but of course she was thinking that Wen Shun could win the game for her and frustrate Ma Zhao's spirit, so she was very interested and was on the sidelines.Sima Zhao's eyes flickered, but he also intended to defeat Wen Shun in front of Wang Yuanji.Wen Shun is still simple-minded, of course, because Wen Shun appreciates Sima Zhao and regards him as a good friend worth making.

After a while, the servants in the store moved the soldiers.Wen Shun and Sima Zhao sat facing each other, while Wang Yuanji sat obediently beside Wen Shun.Wenshun and Sima Zhao each took one side, and the strange stones were placed in the sand formation of the Bingpen.Sima Zhao drew the wooden stick first, which was a word for 'fog'.Both Sima Zhao and Wen Shun frowned when they saw it.But almost at the same time, the faces of the two were startled, they looked at each other and smiled, and then they each started to play with strange stones on the soldier basin.It seems that both of them are thoughtful and cautious people. What Sima Zhao put up is a defensive formation, while Wenshun's formation is both offensive and defensive, and scouts are densely deployed in front of the formation.Whether Sima Zhao intentionally or not, the terrain design of this military basin is very similar to the terrain in front of Hulao Pass, one of the borders between the Great Wei and Western Tang.Wang Yuanji, who was at the side, saw that the two of them were standing still, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she was staring intently at the inside of the soldier basin.

Both of them were in a state of being indifferent to the enemy, and Wen Shun smiled slightly. Although he didn't know the strength of Sima Zhao, just because he could defeat Wang Yuanji, he could guess that he was definitely not an easy person.The same is true for Sima Zhao, who is unwilling to act rashly for the time being.After about a quarter of an hour, Wenshun suddenly moved the strange stone, sent scouts to investigate, and at the same time drove two teams of cavalry to respond.Sima Zhao's eyes flickered, his left and right wings came forward, and the middle was behind him.Wen Shun's face darkened, the scout team rushed forward, and the two cavalry teams separated.

"This Wen Zixi is trying to lure me into battle!"

Sima Zhao's eyes brightened, allowing Wen Shun to run rampant in front of him.According to the climate, there was a thick fog in the war basin, Wen Shun only sent two small cavalry to bluff in front of the battle, Sima Zhao knew what the intention was, and he would not act rashly.Wen Shun smiled, knowing that Sima Zhao had seen his plan, so he slowly withdrew the scouts and the two cavalry.After a while, Wenshun drew lots, and the word "Qing" was written on the wooden sign.Wang Yuanji, who was at the side, couldn't help but get nervous when she saw it.The fog has gone, and the two are about to start a formal confrontation.Sima Zhao narrowed his eyes, his face was calm, and he quickly moved into the stone formation.At the same time, Wenshun was also swinging his formation of strange stones, and what he laid out was the formation of the three talents of heaven and earth.Wen Shun's formation was settled, he looked at Sima Zhao's place, his expression froze, two sharp lights shot out from his sword eyes, and he cried out in his heart.

"What a neat eight-door golden lock formation!"

As for Sima Zhao, he was also observing Wenshun's formation at this time. Although his formation was only a three-talent formation of heaven and earth, the formation was simple, but there seemed to be hidden murderous intentions in it.Judging from the formation of the two, it was obvious that Sima Zhao wanted to use defense as offense.
