The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 464 Admiral Tianxiang

Of course I know what Fang Ling meant. Ma Zhan is willing to bow down, but foot combat is slightly better. I smiled and motioned Fang Ling to sit down, and said to Meng Zhang: "Mr., please continue."

Meng Zhang glanced at Fang Ling secretly, seeing that at a young age, he could sharply point out the shortcomings of Meng Tianxiang's marksmanship, which made him look at him with admiration. Meng Zhang quickly said, "Your Majesty, do you like Tianxiang?" ,"

I chuckled, and immediately understood what Meng Zhang meant: "Old man, General Hu Yande's martial arts skills are among the best among our cavalry generals. Now that Mr. Meng can draw with him, I am of course very satisfied."

Meng Zhang said: "Although the grass people are unable to fight, Tianxiang can,"

After entering the room, Yuan Ji said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have won another general."

"Well, regarding the foot combat skills of immediate warriors like Hu Yande and Meng Tianxiang, sir, you can give me some pointers when you have time,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Jiang Wanzai said: "Brother Mengzhang, is the marksmanship practiced by Tianxiang the flame marksmanship?"

"Exactly,"

"How heavy is it?"

"Brother Jiang, Tianxiang's flame marksmanship has already reached the seventh stage,"

Jiang Wanzai sighed: "I didn't expect that Tianxiang could finally master this flaming marksmanship. I remember that when I was serving in the Zhongshun Army with Big Brother Meng Gong, whenever we had free time, we would learn from each other. I was young and vigorous at that time. , I always thought that my martial arts was the best in the world, but every time I practiced it, it was not the same. I remember very clearly that when Meng Shuai was 32 years old, he broke through the third bottleneck of the flame spear technique in one fell swoop, and the disk I practiced The dragon stick method has also been achieved. After a sparring session, we discussed each other's martial arts. Meng Shuai said that only when the flame gun method has been cultivated to the seventh level can it be considered successful. Today, Xiang has far surpassed Meng Shuai at his age. , is indeed an unworldly genius who practices martial arts, "

Meng Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Jiang is overwhelmed. Although Tianxiang can be called a genius, he still has a lot of gaps compared with General Gao Chong back then."

I didn't know the reason, so I asked, "Why, Jiang Aiqing, is it difficult to practice the flame spear technique? What does this have to do with Gao Chong?"

Jiang Wanzai said: "Brother Mengzhang, you should come and explain to the emperor."

Meng Zhang said: "Your Majesty, try this tea, and the grassmen will bring you one by one for the Emperor."

I said "En", raised my cup and blew on it, took a shallow sip and said: "This tea is smooth in the mouth, sweet and mellow, thick but not greasy, good tea."

"I didn't expect that the emperor is also good at tea ceremony," Meng Zhang said with a smile, "Your Majesty, when we talk about the flame spear technique, we must first talk about the Yue family army more than 100 years ago. Among the many generals under Yue Shuai's tent, there are four masters. Spears and Eight Great Hammers, these eight generals are highly skilled in martial arts, and all of them have undue courage. They followed Yue Shuai, conquered east and west, and made countless military exploits. The emperor has heard of these eight people, right? "

"I know that Four Guns refers to Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, Yang Zaixing, and Zhang Xian, and Eight Hammers refers to Yue Yun, Fu Tianliang, Di Lei, and He Yuanqing,"

"The emperor's words are accurate. These eight people are all arrogant and have always been unconvinced by each other, but they are only full of praise for Gao Chong's marksmanship. Therefore, only Gao Chong is recognized as the number one under Yue Shuai's tent." Master, there is no such thing as second or third, Your Majesty, the marksmanship used by this master is exactly the flame marksmanship."

"Really, this marksmanship was originally taught by Gao Chong,"

Meng Zhang took a break and continued: "Your Majesty, Gao Chong is the descendant of Gao Siji, who was known as the number one marksman in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The Gao family's marksmanship is the flame marksmanship. This marksmanship is very difficult to practice. You need to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into your own energy. This is why you saw Tianxiang practicing under the scorching sun when you came here. If you practice this marksmanship to the sixth level, you will become a famous general who founded the country. However, for a long time afterwards, no one from the descendants of the Gao family was able to practice to the fourth level. Just like his ancestor Gao Siji, he practiced to the eighth level, and with this marksmanship, he shocked the world and was invincible.”

I took a sip of tea and continued to listen to Meng Zhang: "It is said that General Gao Chong broke through the seventh realm at the age of 23, while Gao Siji entered the eighth realm at the age of 33. It can be seen that General Gao Chong is the unworldly genius who practiced the flame spear technique. The emperor, the ancestors of the grasslanders Meng An and Meng Lin were all Marshal Yue's trilogy. At that time, the ancestor Meng Lin was still young and was sent to the Gao Chong army as General Gao Chong General Gao saw that his ancestor was talented and liked him very much, so he passed on all the moves of Raging Flame Spear to his ancestors. Explained it to the ancestors, and unfortunately died in a battle, "

Meng Zhang sighed and said: "After the ancestors acquired the flame spear technique, they practiced hard day and night all their lives, but only stayed at the fourth level. In the generation of Caomin's father, they finally practiced the flame spear technique to the fifth level. Brother Caomin Among the four, only Cao Min has practiced the fifth level of flame marksmanship, and further down, among Meng Hai's generation, because of his mediocre aptitude, he regressed even more. Fortunately, three months before his second brother died of illness, , Tianxiang came to the world. When Tianxiang was about three years old, he showed his interest and talent for guns, so he lived with Caomin under the Zijin Mountain. Today, Tianxiang's marksmanship has entered the seventh threshold. According to Caomin It is estimated that Tianxiang will be able to break through the seventh level and enter the eighth level with the help of more training on the battlefield and with the help of the battlefield's murderous aura."

After listening to Meng Zhang's detailed introduction, I know the origin of the Raging Flame Spearmanship. Since it is a highly favored spearmanship, it can be called the best spearmanship in the world. If Meng Tianxiang can break through the seventh level, it will be another Will be a high favorite.

Although firearms have come out, more than [-]% of the Song army still use cold weapons as their only weapons. Perhaps, Meng Tianxiang will become the last number one horse army general in the world in the era of cold weapons.

Jiang Wanzai said: "Brother Mengzhang, this time we are following the emperor to the Xiangfan battlefield. In my opinion, Tianxiang will go with us."

"Okay," Meng Zhang nodded, "I just don't know what the emperor wants."

"I can't ask for it," I said with a big laugh, "I didn't expect that I would get another strong general at the foot of the Zijin Mountain. It seems that Meng Shuai has manifested his spirit. It's getting late, Mr. Meng, let Meng Tianxiang clean up. , follow me to Ezhou, "

"Yes, Your Majesty," Meng Zhang said, and immediately went out to inform Meng Tianxiang.

Meng Tianxiang's luggage was simple, he only had a few pieces of clothes to change and wash with him, and in less than a cup of tea, Meng Tianxiang had already packed it, and together with Meng Zhang, he came to me.

"Meng Tianxiang, a grassroots man, sees the emperor,"

"Well, Meng Tianxiang listens,"

"Grass people are here,"

"Meng Tianxiang, I will temporarily designate you as a captain of cavalry, with the rank of sixth rank, which is equivalent to the commander of the military region. At the same time, I will order you to rebuild the Zhongshun Army with a staff of 3000 people. under the rule,"

"The last general, Meng Tianxiang, thanked the emperor for his kindness,"

"Well, get up, Tianxiang, but, I have no soldiers to send right now, so I can only provide food and silver for the army. The horses and soldiers of the newly formed Zhongshun Army need you to figure out a way by yourself. Of course, this can be gradually improved, and there is no need to immediately All right, is there a problem?"

I know that there are many old subordinates of Meng Gong living in the Mengjiaqiao area of ​​Zaoyang. These people were disarmed and returned to the fields more than 20 years ago. They have been living with the Mengjia brothers in Zaoyang. These people are old and cannot go to battle. Kill the enemy, but their descendants should be as big as Meng Tianxiang. Therefore, I did not limit the personnel composition of the Zhongshun Army, but let it play its role. Presumably, as the descendant of Meng Gong, it should be very appealing What's more, Meng Zhang and Meng Ying are still alive.

Sure enough, Meng Zhang took over the words and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the grass people will go to the old house in Zaoyang immediately, and after discussing with the fourth Meng Ying, first organize a group of young adults at Mengjiaqiao to go to Yingzhou to meet Tianxiang."

Meng Tianxiang was overjoyed: "Thank you second uncle,"

Meng Zhang nodded, and said to me, "Your Majesty, the Caomin have one more request."

"Speak, sir, please,"

"Your Majesty, although Tianxiang is in his early twenties and has excellent character and martial arts, but because he spends most of his time practicing here, he has too little experience in dealing with people and affairs. I hope that the Emperor will give you some guidance in his busy schedule, and give him more advice." teaching, strict discipline,"

"Hehe, old man, don't worry, my Xianchun Dynasty is quite different from the past, Shi Chen, Jiang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Jia Sidao and Jiang Wanzai said at the same time: "Brother Meng Zhang, you can rest assured about this. Now that the government is clear and bright, as long as you have the ability, you will be reused and rewarded."

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jia, I've heard about this too." Meng Zhang smiled, turned his head and said to me again, "Your Majesty, as early as a few years ago, Li Tingzhi from Yangzhou wrote a letter saying that the emperor's sage is unprecedented. Today, the grass people saw the emperor with their own eyes, and they believed it, and the grass people firmly believed that the great cause of ZTE that the emperor said would be realized soon, "

I laughed and said confidently: "Mr., as long as the people in my court work together, I also believe that this day is not far away."

"Your Majesty, the grass people will definitely wait until that day,"

"must,"

Meng Zhang took out a pack of tea leaves and said, "Your Majesty, this purple gold tea is acceptable in the mountains and fields. It will be a long time since your Majesty went to Xiangfan. This tea should relieve your majesty from boredom."

I didn't refuse, took the bag of tea and said, "Mr. Meng, take care of yourself."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the grassroots will send you off to the Emperor respectfully,"

"it is good,"

After staying in Ezhou for one night, we set off northward the next morning. From Ezhou to Yingzhou, it was about [-] miles away. Most of the journey was flat. It was not until we entered the boundary of Yingzhou that there were undulating mountain roads.

Three days later, in the evening of May 500th, our group of more than [-] people arrived in Yingzhou City.
