As for being changed by Legalist classics, Yan Yan thinks that he shouldn't be able to do so!
"I haven't asked the name of the gentleman yet!" Yan Yan also remembered that he hadn't asked the steward's name yet.

"Luoyang, Sang Xiuyu." The steward said with a smile.

"Sang Xiuyu?" Yan Yan frowned. It seemed that this person did not exist in the entire history.

But after thinking about it, how could it be possible that all the people I met casually were big people who were famous in history? After all, there are more small people in this world.

After seeing each other again, Yan Yan and Sang Xiuyu also started their respective tasks.

As an official under the charge of keeping history, Sang Xiuyu is responsible for organizing books and registering new books in the warehouse.

Under normal circumstances, borrowing is not allowed in the Shouzangshi collection, so there is no mention of borrowing.

Yan Yan alone also began to observe the entire Korean Tibetan Room.

The storage room is a circular palace, divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. Each floor is classified according to country, and each country is divided into hundreds of families.

The first place Yan Yan came to was the State of Chu, looking for the archives of the Confucian Tantai and Yan families.

"So few!" Yan Yan was surprised. There were a lot of files from the Chu State, but there were very few files about the Tantai and Yan families. They only recorded the disciples of the two families who had come to Korea and the people who had come out of the two families. .

Yan Yan saw the record about Yan Ao in it, but the record was very simple, with only a few sentences.

"Shu Ao, marry the daughter of the Gao family in Tangxi."

"Uncle Ao made trouble, united with Yan and Zhao, Zhongshan was destroyed!"

"So short?" Yan Yan was a little surprised, just one word "make trouble", and then a country was gone!

"Hey, I still have mine!" Yan Yan also found his own records on the bookshelf.

"Yan Shudong, the head of Yushan Academy, escaped after beheading Chu Yangling. He later served as the Jade Villa to offer wine!"

"???" Yan Yan was even more stunned, it was actually shorter!

"Are you wondering why there are no records about Xihe Academy?" Sang Xiuyu appeared next to Yan Yan and asked with a smile.

Everyone who came to the storage room was curious about how others would record themselves. Therefore, Sang Xiuyu knew very well what Yan Yan was looking for. It was the same when he first came here, but he didn't find it.

"Those who can be included in the storage room are all famous people, and if there is no absolutely certain information, they will not be recorded!" Sang Xiuyu continued to explain.

Yan Yan nodded. From the record of his killing Lord Yangling, he already knew that not only Confucians are particular about word choice, but historians are even more particular about word choice.

Therefore, he did not expect that the Korean historian actually used beheading to kill Lord Yangling, and Lord Yangling did not even give him a title.

But when you think about it, you will understand. After he killed Lord Yangling, the Chu State was shocked and was finally suppressed. However, Lord Yangling was also deposed and demoted as a sinner by the King of Chu. Therefore, Yan Yan killed Lord Yangling. He became a beheader, but Yan Yan was a scholar!
"There are also many books and scriptures from hundreds of schools in the storage room, including the martial arts of each school!" Sang Xiuyu introduced.

Many scholars were knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs. In addition to seeing various classics in the collection room, they could also come into contact with some martial arts classics that they had never had access to before.

Young people like Yan Yan, many of them also yearn for the knight-errant's light clothes and angry horses, wielding swords all over the world, naturally they want to learn some advanced martial arts.

"Where is the method of five-shooting?" Yan Yan thought for a moment. Among the six skills of a gentleman, five-shooting is one of them. South Korea also has the most sharpshooters. It seems that the training methods for five-shooting are also the most complete.

"In the military department on the upper level!" Sang Xiuyu took Yan Yan to the top floor of the storage room, and quickly found out the method of practicing Five Shots.

Yan Yan picked up the introductory chapter and read it carefully.Only after looking at this did we understand why South Korea has become the country with the most marksmen. Their record of five shots is the most complete and comprehensive.

Many times, many archery teachers do not tell them why they do what they do, but these Korean books provide explanations.

For example, the breathing rhythm and heartbeat rhythm during archery are specially annotated.

Similarly, there are clear regulations on what kind of crossbows and arrows to use for different target distances, and how to change the archery method if conditions do not allow it.

"Can anyone read the books here?" Yan Yan looked at Sang Xiuyu in confusion.

If these archery skills were spread, it would be easy to create a bunch of sharpshooters.

"Since Shangshi has the art of archery, it seems to be easy, but has Shangshi ever thought about how many people would be able to learn it even if these classics were made public?"

"Even if these books were thrown on the streets of Xinzheng, how many people do you think would be able to read the words on them?" Sang Xiuyu sighed and shook his head.

Yan Yan nodded. In this era, the vast majority of people are still illiterate, let alone the requirements in the book. The requirement for Wu She is to have absolute power.

Many people seem to have misunderstandings about archers. They think that once the opponent is approached by other soldiers, they are fragile and easy to kill.

But everyone knows that this is because the archers wear leather armor and do not carry long weapons, so they can easily be killed by the large army.

But in a one-on-one battle without armor, even the warriors who are famous for their bravery may not be able to defeat the archers.

Archers are also the best-fed among the many arms, second only to cavalry and on par with soldiers.

"So, these things can only be useful if they are placed in the hands of people who know the goods. If placed in the hands of ordinary people, they are worse than chopping firewood!" Sang Xiuyu said.

He had also seen the Five Shooting Technique, but his arms were not strong enough and he could not learn the method of controlling heart rate and breathing.

Especially after the five-shot initiation, it also involves weather changes, rain, snow, wind and frost, as well as advanced arithmetic, which is not something ordinary people can learn.

Yan Yan also discovered that after getting started with Wushu, there are also ways to select and maintain bows and crossbows, including the material of the bow and crossbow in different weather conditions, which will also affect the direction and speed of arrows.

These cannot be taught by books. It requires the archers to accumulate experience and understand the characteristics of the crossbow in their hands.

"Ji Chang's five shots!" Yan Yan discovered the inheritance of Ji Chang, the world-famous archer.

The only professional archers in China who can remain in the history books are Gan Ying, Fei Wei and Ji Chang.

These three are the most famous shooters.

However, historical records indicate that Ji Chang and Fei Wei finally abandoned their bows and stopped passing on their five-shooting technique.

"Although Fei Wei and Ji Chang did not pass down their archery skills, it does not mean that their master and ancestor Gan Ying's archery skills were not passed down!"

"I see!" Yan Yan had to admit that the country was so powerful that he could even find a way to get this kind of thing.

"Historically, if necessary, there are many good bows and crossbows in the arsenal!" Sang Xiuyu said with a smile.

As Yan Yan, no one would refuse if he went to the arsenal to get a good bow or a powerful crossbow.
