Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446 Martial Arts (14)

One mile to the north and five miles to the east, I saw a huge stone, and there was a treasure ten feet to the north.

Xu Qing doesn't remember other things, but Xu Qing remembers the treasure map clearly.How awesome it must be to make Yin Shishi, a great general of the Sui Dynasty, think about things before he died.Xu Qing has no shortage of money, but it is difficult for Xu Qing to satisfy his curiosity.

Another day, find an excuse to go for a stroll... But for now, it's better to carry out martial arts.

In the field of martial arts, Luo Tong, Xu Zhen, and lawyer Pei are respectively responsible for pulling a strong bow, dancing a big sword, and holding a big stone. In addition to clearing his old job of picking up garbage, Xu Shiji also has to write questions for the generals with Xu Shiji .

Wen generals, also known as strategists, often live in the tent, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, predict the enemy first, have the ability to plan against the enemy general, and use the method of intermediary.These generals often have the ability to command, but they climb higher than the generals outside.Moreover, it is much safer to hold the flag in the middle army than to charge with soldiers.

It's just that there are few scholars in the world, and even fewer people read martial arts.Those who read the martial arts classics must have great interest, so they often memorize them backwards.However, whether it is martial arts or Confucianism, they all pay attention to applying what they have learned. The distance from talking about soldiers on paper to leading troops to victory is not a matter of quantity.

There are only a handful of hundreds of people who seek generals. "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", "Sima Fa", "Wei Liao Zi", "Three Strategies", "Six Secret Teachings" and "Li Weigong Questions and Answers" are called the Seven Books of Martial Arts, but "Li Weigong Questions and Answers" is based on It was written based on the questions and answers of Li Shimin and Li Jing, but it is not yet available.If you want to take a subject, you will choose the questions from the first six books.At the time of diversion, what was tested was the meaning of scriptures and ink, which is equivalent to restoring the original text and explaining the meaning.

But now, it's an upgraded version of the screening test, and the plan is to eliminate the remaining 100 people, so they can't take the low-level test.Each examinee first discusses with Xu Shiji about the limitations and rationality of a claim in the six parts of the Wu Jing.Then Xu Qing and him will score together, and those who pass will enter the next round.

This round is mainly to get rid of people who can only memorize by rote.In the next round, Xu Shiji will come up with questions, simulate some war scenes, and let the candidates come up with ideas to lead the three armies to advance and retreat to defeat the enemy.The topics range from deserts to hills, from riding and archery to water warfare, which can best examine the breadth of a counselor's knowledge.Only with a relatively broad knowledge can we adapt to the situation and win by surprise.

Ever since there were more guards at the Xuanwu Gate, Xu Qing found that Wei Xian was getting busier and often disappeared.Xu Qing wanted to give Wei Xian a deputy. He was supposed to be the third big boss in Xu Qing's army, but his work was basically the same as that of Zhao Gong. One person is busy here and there, and adjusts the relationship between the expenditures and generals in Xu Qing's army to be harmonious.It can be said that Wei Xian's orders in the army now require neither Xu Qing's seal nor Xu Qing's personal letter, and the soldiers below will obey them.Similarly, Xu Qing also intentionally set up a shogunate around him. These people should not get closer to him, but they are very professional. Some sinister things that cannot be said on the stage can be discussed with them.Xu Qing has been in Tang Dynasty for so long, and Xu Qing doesn't want to see anyone, so he will be his personal brother. There are many friends, and Xu Qing finds that those teammates have to take them with him to fly, and he feels tired.

"Leading troops deep into the land of the vassals, the enemy surrounded me, cut me off from my way, cut off my food and grass, the enemy is numerous, and the food is plentiful, dangerous and strong. I want to get out, what can I do?" Xu Shiji sat in the seat Looking at the five people who stepped forward to countermeasures on the martial arts platform, Xu Qing asked, secretly saying that this question is very difficult, and Xu Shiji is too active in posing the question.This question is not only from the Six Books of Wushu, but also designed the scene according to the actual situation. It is said that the way back has been cut off, the enemy is ambushing on all sides, our army has run out of food and grass, but the enemy has plenty of food and grass. At this time, I want to go out. How to do it?Why?
The five people heard the words and started discussing with each other. This was also a solution Xu Shiji came up with.A person's wisdom is limited, and collective efforts can often avoid disasters and reduce the place where one advocate does not see.Xu Qing tried to think about it. He remembered that when the prince was besieged, except that the food and grass were not exhausted, wouldn't other methods be similar to the present?At that time, Xu Qing's method was to assassinate the enemy chieftain, and then cause chaos in the enemy army, taking the opportunity to break through.What if there was no one to help Li Jiancheng at that time?Wouldn't it be necessary to find a way to disrupt the enemy's siege?
Just when Xu Qing was thinking, those few people recommended one person to be the representative: "The way to go out is the way to go, equipment is the treasure, and bravery is the leader. Find out where the enemy's troops are weak and where there is no one to defend, and take advantage of the weak point to attack." Stand out and encircle."

Xu Shiji nodded: "This time is a high-level theory, but how to break through, do you have a way?"

"Depending on the location, choose the opportunity. It's not practical to talk about it now." The man said again: "However, I can talk about the deployment of the breakout."

Xu Shiji made a gesture of invitation, asking him to continue talking.The man cupped his hands and said: "Soldiers must hold black flags, hold weapons, hold them in their mouths, and launch them when the night is dark and the wind is high. Let the brave, powerful, quick-moving/daring to take risks and make troubles for our army in front clear the way,
Chariots and riders, the old and the weak walk in the formation, and the archers lie in ambush in hidden places. They act calmly and cautiously, without any panic.If the enemy discovers our army's breakthrough, then abandon the old and weak, let the vanguard open the gap, and let the cavalry out.Crossbowmen appeared and organized the enemy's pursuit.This time, you can keep your own strength in the weak. "

This is a gecko's strategy of taking off its tail. In terms of the commander's meticulousness and the general's courage, it is above average.Xu Qing smiled and made a circle on one piece of bamboo, and dotted the other four.The circle is excellent, the dot is excellent, and the first class is the point of the upper triangle, which means qualified, and a fork is unqualified.

Xu Shiji compared his own score with Xu Qing's, then smiled and said to the people below: "Take it." The five people looked at each other happily, but suppressed their excitement, and thanked Xu Qing and Xu Shiji .

Another group came up, Xu Shiji's face did not change, Xu Qing's face was full of fatigue like a frosted eggplant, Xu Shiji said to the people below: "There is a big water ahead, I have no boat, I want to cross it, what can I do?"

In the afternoon, Xu Qing went to the school grounds to watch the competition, walked around, waved, and let the examinees take a look at his heroic appearance.After this cutscene, Xu Qing was planning to find a place where no one was around and slip away, but at this moment, he saw a figure flashing in front of Xu Qing, and shouted: "Hey! Xu Qingxiu go!"

Xu Qing said in his heart that something was wrong, but he didn't stop, and he didn't see who was coming, he turned his head and said hastily: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm going to pay my respects in the forest."

"Bold, how dare you disrespect me!" The figure flickered again and grabbed Xu Qing's shoulder: "Xu Qing, where are you running!"

Seeing that there was nowhere to run, Xu Qing glanced at the person coming, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Busily prepared to kneel down and said: "Chen Xu Qing pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi."

"Don't kneel, this king is here today to talk to you about something." Li Yuanji supported Xu Qing, and then said: "Xu Qing, you said that the father suddenly asked me to call him an old man, why is that? ? Is this telling me that he is old?"

Xu Qing was stunned, and said to Li Yuanji: "King Qi, this old man's three words are not because the emperor said that he is old. That's what happened. When I went back to Xuanwu Gate that day, if I was not careful, Xu Qing called the old man I told Li Yuanji all about the origin of the title.Li Yuanji immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "So that's the case, hahaha"

Xu Qing smiled a few words, this is disrespectful to the old man, he laughed instead of scolding Xu Qing, this kind of heart is not simple.What I didn't expect was that after Xu Qing fooled those few words, Li Yuan actually believed that the two of them really belonged to the same family.Li Yuanji finished laughing, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, I would like to thank you for saving my eldest brother."

"Ok?"

"Don't pretend to be in front of this king. You take a hundred dragon guards to the north to help me break through. Others don't know how much credit you have made. How can this king not know?" Li Yuanji patted Xu Qing's face. Shoulder said: "If I were the emperor, I would make you a prince." Li Yuanji was not afraid of death, because he was the prince, and Xu Qingke wanted to live.Hurry up and cover his mouth so that he doesn't say that kind of thing.

"King Qi, you have so many brothers, you should not only treat your eldest brother well, but also treat other brothers well."

Li Yuanji glanced at Xu Qing like a monster, and said, "You mean my second brother, is it possible that my elder brother didn't tell you the truth about that incident? Well, well, it's no wonder, you are the father's man , my elder brother will naturally not be so indecent."

Xu Qing was at a loss, but Li Yuanji smiled and said: "After this infield is over, let's get together, full of civil and military affairs, and you are the only one who likes me!"

Thinking of the scene when he met him in West Market last time, Li Yuanji's attitude has changed drastically now, which made Xu Qing very puzzled.

Five days later, the martial arts in the field ended, and a total of 85 generals were selected, and more than 900 people were excellent in three subjects or outstanding in one subject.Among them, the generals who were not selected, Xu Qing sorted them out, and asked the imperial court to issue dozens of military positions, some of them were far away at the border, and some were at the gate of the city.But this loss means that Xu Shiji was not selected, and Xu Qing was not in favor of him.Xu Qing sent out more than 30 of the [-] ceremonies under his sect.The defeated generals, as long as they passed the three subjects, were all recruited by Xu Qing into the Xuanwumen garrison. If they were excellent in another one or two subjects, Xu Qing would also give them the position of holding a halberd. All of them successfully entered Xu Qing's army, and some of them became halberds, and were arranged by the court to be guards by the adults.The last small group will participate in the final round of competition, and will directly become the lower-level generals in the future. Xu Qing will watch over them and make them rise to the top.
