Chapter 752: Teaching the Art of Marksmanship and the Art of War
"Wow, I heard of a ruthless man who shot a hundred rings!" The surrounding stands and spectators began to discuss.
People who can shoot a hundred rings, without exception, will definitely pass, this has become perfect, and people with this ability are still very rare.
It is very difficult to know that there is a distance of 80 paces from the position of the archery to the target, and it is very difficult to shoot an arrow on horseback, and it is very difficult to shoot on horseback.
People with this kind of ability must have superb riding and archery skills, and when shooting arrows, they all enter a certain state that others can't enter, and there is no time to aim at all, everything depends on feeling, and it is aimed with the "heart", not with the eyes.
Zhao Junsheng is also very interested in the person who can shoot this result, so far, the only people he knows who have this kind of superb riding and archery skills are him, Hua Mulan, Cao Jiao, and Yuan He, and he has not seen anyone else.
Zhao Junsheng summoned Gao Xiu and ordered: "Who is this martial artist who shot a hundred rings?" Send someone to inquire about the report! β
"Yes!" Gao Xiu agreed, and sent a personal soldier to inquire on the field.
After a while, Gao Xiu's personal soldiers came back and reported: "Your Majesty, General, this person's name is Su Ji, a native of Jizhou, twenty years old, and he is currently serving as the tooth master in the Eagle Army!" According to investigation, Su Ji's parents died when he was a child, he was raised by his aunt, the family is just an ordinary civilian, neither the ancestor of the official, nor the side branch of the wealthy family, he entered the army in Youzhou at the age of fifteen, he has never practiced martial arts before, nor has he ever practiced archery, after joining the army, he showed amazing talent, and ranked among the best in the annual military competition! β
"Interesting!" Zhao Junsheng sighed, he believed that there were many young people like Su Ji, both in the military and in the civilian population, just because of their background.
This Su Ji, if it weren't for this martial arts scientific examination, he, the tooth master, would be able to be promoted to a general at most, even if the Qianguo has only been established for a few years, it is very difficult for a young man like Su Ji to be promoted to the level of general, not that there is none, after all, he is not the first batch of people to follow Zhao Junsheng.
It is very difficult for a soldier from a civilian background to reach the level of a general, not only because his background is limited by those high-ranking generals from famous families, but also because to be a general, he must master the art of war, and the art of war is almost all mastered in military families, and the children of civilians have the opportunity to come into contact with it at all.
Zhao Junsheng decided to observe and observe first, Su Ji's revealed skills still have a ride and archery for him to take a look at, if Su Ji can also stand out in martial arts next, such a person is qualified to be his attention.
The cavalry and archery skills assessment lasted all day, and more than half of the more than 1,000 people were eliminated, leaving only more than 400 people.
The next day, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan did not go to watch, this day was a foot battle, taking the way of drawing lots, two by two duel elimination system, there is an element of luck in this, if the martial arts of the two martial arts are very high, but the two of them drew lots and became opponents, one of them could have passed the martial arts, but unfortunately met someone more powerful than him, this is luck back.
At the end of this day, after two rounds of duels, four hundred Wuju people eliminated three hundred people, and only one hundred people remained.
In the evening, after dinner, Zhao Junsheng sat in the study and listened to the report of the imperial guard Lei Zhen on today's martial arts examination.
After listening to this, Zhao Junsheng asked, "How did the warriors of Tuyuhun and Beiliang perform in the martial arts competition yesterday and today?" β
Lei Zhen replied, "Tuyuhun sent three warriors, and Beiliang sent five warriors. In yesterday's cavalry and archery competition, one samurai was eliminated in Tuyuhun, and the remaining two narrowly defeated their opponents today and successfully advanced; One of the five warriors sent by Bei Liang was eliminated in yesterday's riding and archery competition, and the remaining four passed, and today two of them were eliminated, and the remaining two advanced to tomorrow's riding competition! β
Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "By the way, how is that tooth master named Su Ji behaving today?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, Su Ji was lucky today, he defeated the opponent very easily, but Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Zhao Junsheng asked, "But what?" β
"Chen feels that this Su Ji's martial arts should have learned some superficial fists and feet and blade kung fu in the army, but he has not been instructed by a famous teacher, and there is no method of boiling strength and strength, otherwise with his talent, martial arts will definitely be more than that!"
Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Continue to stare tomorrow, if Su Ji can pass the last level of the cavalry battle, you don't have to wait for the list to be released, and bring him to see me!" β
"Yes!"
"By the way, is there anyone like Su Ji who is from a civilian background and has a more outstanding performance among the people who participated in the martial arts this time?"
Lei Zhen thought for a while and said: "There is another one, called Niu Dali, his riding and archery skills are just average, and he was almost eliminated, but this person is brave and fierce in foot, making a pair of drums and hammers, weighing eighty pounds, not only is not burly, but slightly thin, but it seems to be a natural divine power, and the two martial artists who have fought against him have not survived three moves and were smashed to the ground and can never get up again, as for his riding skills, I don't know for the time being!" β
"There are still such people?" Zhao Junsheng was quite surprised, he thought about it for a while and ordered: "Also pay attention to this person, whether he is through cavalry or not, bring him to see me!" β
"Obey the order!"
As a person who is strict with himself, on the day of the cavalry competition of the martial arts scientific expedition, Zhao Junsheng still did not have time to look at it, he was dealing with a large number of chapters, and the military and political affairs mentioned in these chapters could not be kept for the New Year, and they must be dealt with before the year.
And the martial arts scientific examination will also end before the eighth day of December, so that both those who are on the list and those who are not on the list will have time to rush home for the New Year.
In the evening, Zhao Junsheng came out of the side hall after dealing with military and political affairs, and Lei Zhen, the imperial guard, came over and hugged his fists to report: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to bring Su Ji and Niu Dali!" β
"Oh? Did both of them pass? Zhao Junsheng said and looked not far behind Lei Zhen, only to see a strong figure and a thin young man standing not far away.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Niu Dali easily defeated his opponent in two consecutive rounds, and Su Ji won two rounds in a row, and it was very difficult to win, but he was on the list after all! β
Zhao Junsheng waved vigorously to Su Ji and Niu, who were standing not far away: "You two come here!" β
The two trembled and walked over to salute: "The villain greets Your Majesty!" β
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Junsheng looked at the two of them, his eyes stayed under Su Ji's ribs, and when he saw that his clothes were torn, there seemed to be some bloodstains, and he frowned: "Injured?" β
"Your Majesty Xie cares, it's just a skin injury, it's not in the way!"
"Come on, go to the imperial doctor to treat Su Ji's injuries!" Zhao Junsheng instructed the eunuch, and then said to Su Ji and Niu Dali: "Come with me!" β
Zhao Junsheng brought a few people to the palace martial arts training ground, and he asked as he walked: "Niu Dali, is your martial arts inherited from your family or learned from a teacher?" β
Niu Dali is not tall and thin, and his face looks ugly and vicious, and he must not be very popular in the village.
He touched the back of his head very uncomfortably, and said quite embarrassedly: "It is neither family heirloom nor apprenticeship." It is also strange to say that the villain dreamed every night for a period of time when he was twelve years old, dreaming that there was an old fairy teaching the villain martial arts, and after the villain woke up from the dream, the villain practiced according to what he learned in the dream, day after day, year after year, so that he could have such martial arts today! β
Zhao Junsheng was quite shocked when he heard this, he didn't believe that there were any immortals, there must be a spiritual cultivator who had attained the Tao and taught Niu Dali the stunt through the method of dreaming, Niu Dali didn't know the truth, and mistakenly thought it was a fairy teaching.
"It seems that there are a lot of talented people in this world!"
Zhao Junsheng sighed, looked at Su Ji, and asked, "Your name is Su Ji, right?" Your martial arts are military middle schools? β
Su Ji bowed and clenched his fists and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the villain didn't understand anything before joining the army, he learned some superficial work after joining the army, and he has worked hard in the past few years, and he has secretly figured out a few tricks to kill the enemy, but after all, he is not as good as those who have a family heirloom and worship a famous teacher!" β
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "It's really not easy for ordinary people to get ahead, knowledge, knowledge and mastery are in the hands of a very small number of people, and ordinary people can't get in touch with these if they don't have a great opportunity!" Nor is it obligated for those who possess a mastery to pass it on to others. Niu Dali is born with divine power and was favored by capable people, and this master didn't want to show up, so he used the method of dreaming to teach, this is your chance, you must make good use of your own ability! β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Niu vigorously agreed.
Zhao Junsheng instructed the eunuch: "Spread my will, let the general cast a pair of drum urns and golden hammers for him according to the weight of Niu Dali's weapons, and then take him to the imperial horse supervisor and let him choose a horse by himself!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Niu Dali hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty Longen, it's hard to repay the villain's broken bones!" β
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Go!" β
"The villain retires!"
After Niu Dali followed the eunuch, Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Su Ji: "Come with me!" β
Su Ji followed Zhao Junsheng to the martial arts training ground, Zhao Junsheng lifted the hem of his clothes and pinned it to his waist, and asked, "What weapons do you use well?" β
"The villain likes to use a spear!"
Zhao Junsheng took two spears from his weapon and threw one to Su Ji, and said to him, "Come, attack me with all your might!" β
Su Ji was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the minister does not dare, in case you hurt Your Majesty, ten heads of the villain are not enough to cut off!" β
"Just what do you want to hurt me now? You dream, don't talk nonsense, I don't have much time, today can take the time to instruct you in martial arts is your only chance, start! β
Su Ji gritted his teeth, and immediately grabbed the spear and attacked Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng danced the spear "Dangdang" twice, and the tip of the spear was pressed against Su Ji's throat.
"This Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Su Ji really didn't expect Zhao Junsheng's marksmanship to be so superb, he didn't even have a chance to react and was defeated.
Zhao Junsheng took back his spear and said: "I have a set of marksmanship here, I will only give you a drill, how much you can remember depends on your own ability, look at itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Su Ji stared intently at Zhao Junsheng who was performing marksmanship, an ordinary spear in Zhao Junsheng's hand made it superb, sometimes fierce and fierce, sometimes elusive, sometimes unpredictable, and varied.
After a set of Yang family's marksmanship was played, Zhao Junsheng's face was not red or breathless, and he put away the gun and stood up.
"How much do you remember?"
Su Ji thought for a while and said, "Seventy! β
Zhao Junsheng put the spear in the weapon, took a scroll and a roll of sheepskin from the tray held by the eunuch next to him and threw them to Su Ji, "Take it, what is written on the sheepskin is the method of making moves and fighting strength, and what is written on the scroll is an art of war, I don't have time to teach you, how much can I understand can only rely on yourself!" β
Su Ji hurriedly took the parchment scroll and scroll, and puffed down excitedly and choked up: "Your Majesty Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Alright, don't be a little girl. However, you must remember that I have taught you marksmanship, martial arts and the art of war, not to create another military family, the army belongs to the Great Cadre Dynasty, not a private one, and any private interests must give way in front of the overall interests of the Great Cadres! β
"Su Ji remembers His Majesty's teachings and never dares to forget them!" Su Ji said and kowtowed several times in a row
