After a week of running True Qi, Yang Yan opened his eyes. Although there are as many as 31 injuries, none of them are fatal parts, and after taking the medicine, it does not affect the shadow movement. Yang Yan himself estimated that after running the Dafa vigorously and resolutely a few times, by tomorrow, the wound would basically be able to heal.

At this time, a herald came to give an order, telling Yang Yan to go to Shao Hongyuan's big tent immediately.

As soon as Yang Yan entered Shao Hongyuan's big tent, the main generals in the army were all together, and Yang Yan was left alone.

Seeing that Yang Yan had arrived, Shao Hongyuan asked first: "Yang Tong, what is your injury, it doesn't matter." ”

Yang Yan saluted and said: "It's all small injuries on the flesh and skin, and it's not a big problem, and there is Lord Lao Dutong's concern." ”

Shao Hongyuan nodded and said, "It's okay, Yang is in charge, don't be polite, sit down." ”

Yang Yan sat down at the end. Shao Hongyuan said at this time: "Generals, Tan Ma reported that Bai Yanjing, the right supervisor of the Jin State, led 5,000 men and horses to aid Hongxian, and now it is less than sixty miles away from the city, and it can reach Hongxian the day after tomorrow at the latest." I have invited you here today to discuss, how should our army deal with it? ”

As soon as the generals heard the news, they knew that the situation was not good. Although Yang Yan captured the military flag of the Jin soldiers in the siege battle during the day, Bi Jing did not open Hongxian. Now there are 5,000 reinforcements, although the number is not large, but once they are combined with the golden soldiers in the city, it will be even more difficult to attack. And there are only nine tower cars of the Song army.

The generals were silent for a while, and Zhou Hong got up and said: "Lord Dutong, besieging the city and sending reinforcements is the way to use soldiers. The last general thought that it would be better to destroy the reinforcements first, and then attack Hongxian. ”

Zhang Xuntong also said: "Although we did not capture Hongxian today, the losses of the Jin soldiers are not small. Our army only needs 5,000 people to defend Hongxian here, and do not let Hongxian send troops to rescue it, and first repel Bai Yanjing's reinforcements. If Bai Yanjing's reinforcements are allowed to enter the city, the morale of the golden soldiers in the city will inevitably be greatly boosted, and it will be even more difficult to capture Hongxian. ”

Hearing the two of them say this, the other generals also nodded yes.

Yang Yan frowned secretly when he heard this. Besieging the city and sending reinforcements is indeed in accordance with the art of war. However, it was to use the besieged enemy to attract enemy reinforcements, and to destroy them on the way to the enemy's rescue, so as to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy's living forces. But now the strategic goal of the Song army is to capture Hongxian as soon as possible in order to further attack Suzhou. Otherwise, even if Li Xianzhong captures Suzhou, as long as Hongxian is still in the hands of Jin Bing, Suzhou will not be safe. If there is any mention of besieging the city and sending reinforcements at this time, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

At this time, Shao Hongyuan spoke: "Besieging the city to send reinforcements, Bendu also thinks so, since this is the case......"

Yang Yan stood up and said, "Lord Dutong, this is not appropriate. ”

All the generals were stunned, and they all looked at Yang Yan. Although Yang Yan is the representative commander of the Beiwei Army, he is actually just a low-level military attache of the ninth rank, and the command is generally held by military generals above the seventh rank. In the minds of the generals, although Yang Yan is brave and martial, but Bi Jing is not qualified, and he participates in this kind of meeting as a representative commander, so he should just sit and listen to it honestly, and he still says something inappropriate, and the generals are a little unimpressed.

Shao Hongyuan was also a little displeased, but still said, "Then what do you think Yang should do?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Lord Dutong, the top priority of our army is to enter Xiahong County, not to eliminate Bai Yanjing's reinforcements......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hong interrupted: "Capturing Hongxian is a top priority, everyone naturally knows it, do you still use the Yang Dynasty to remind us?" But today, the Yang Dynasty also participated in the siege, was Hongxian so easy to capture? Our army defeated the reinforcements first, leaving the defenders of Hongxian with nothing to rely on, and then they could capture Hongxian in one fell swoop. ”

He directly called Yang Yan a representative commander, and the implication was to remind Yang Yan that you are not a formal commander.

Yang Yan just smiled and said, "Hongxian County is difficult to capture for a while, and the last general will naturally know it." But if the reinforcements arrive, the gate of Hongxian County will open by itself! ”

Xian Xuntong sneered: "What about opening it, will Jin Bing let us go in comfortably?" ”

When Zhang Zigai heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Can you tell me more about Yang Tongzhi?" ”

Yang Yan said: "If we send an army to pretend to eliminate the reinforcements of the Jin State and force the reinforcements of the Jin State to the city of Hongxian, Da Zhouren will inevitably open the city gate and let the reinforcements enter the city." And at this time, if our army sends an elite army to break through the formation of the Jin soldiers and directly capture the drawbridge and city gate, wouldn't Hongxian be at your fingertips? ”

Zhang Zigai and Shao Hongyuan glanced at each other, and Shao Hongyuan said, "Don't try." ”

In fact, Yang Yan's idea is not a good idea, he just hopes to fish in the chaotic waters. It's just that things have come to this point, and they can't attack it, and they want to capture Hongxian County as soon as possible, so they can only try Yang Yan's method.

The next step is to discuss how it should be arranged. It was the first time for Yang Yan to participate in this kind of pre-war arrangement. At this time, I can really only listen to it from the side, and there is no interference. But then I realized that my plan is easy to say, but it is not so simple to actually operate.

First of all, it was necessary to determine the route and time of the march of the Bai Yan Jing army, so that the enemy army could be ambushed at the right time and in the right place. This requires not only experience, but also a multifaceted investigation by spies. Fortunately, the enemy's goal was clear, that is, to rescue Hongxian, so after the continuous investigation of the spies, the route and time of Bai Yanjing's army could basically be determined.

Secondly, the purpose of the ambush is not to destroy the enemy army, but to drive the enemy army to Hongxian, and it is not possible to let the enemy flee in other directions.

Third, when they reach the city, the enemy army will definitely resist while retreating into the city. At this time, we must try our best to pull the enemy's formation apart, and not press it too tightly, otherwise it will not be conducive to the Song army's assault team to seize the city gate. This requires considerable experience in commanding on the spot. Therefore, it will be personally commanded by Shao Hongyuan and Zhang Zigai.

Finally, there is the commando, the number of people cannot be too much, and more will attract the attention of Jin Bing. Since the Song army did not have the armored cavalry like Tiefutu, it was even more difficult to break through the enemy formation, and after occupying the city gate, it was necessary to hold it and wait for the army outside the city to break through the Jin soldiers. Therefore, it is not enough for the assault team to have cavalry, but also a part of infantry and archers. The most important thing is that there must be a fierce general to take the lead. This task naturally fell to Yang Yan's head. After two battles, Yang Yan's bravery has been recognized by the entire Song army.

In the past, Yang Yan didn't have to worry about anything else, just obeyed the call and followed the team. After personally experiencing the pre-war arrangements, Yang Yan realized how complicated the war was.

With a "snap", Shao Hongyuan slapped the table and said: "Whether it is victory or defeat, it will be a battle tomorrow, generals, you must capture Hongxian tomorrow." ”

All the generals stood up together and saluted, "I respectfully respect the generals." ”

Shao Hongyuan nodded and said, "Okay, just rest well today, and send an order to those who go down to attack the city first tomorrow, and they will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and promoted to three levels." ”

******************************

Yang Yan returned to his big tent, and Cao Xun was waiting for him. Although he is already the acting commander, he does not enjoy the treatment of living alone in one tent, and still shares a tent with Cao Xun.

Cao Xun said: "Big brother, you're back." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Rest early today, there will be a tough battle tomorrow." Then he told Cao Xun about tomorrow's arrangements.

When Cao Xun heard that it was Yang Yanxian's plan, he said excitedly: "Even if it is the eldest brother's idea, then it must not be wrong, we will definitely capture Dahong County tomorrow?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Really? You're so confident! But I can have as much faith as you. ”

Cao Xun said: "I believe in my eldest brother 100%. Big brother, you've always been scheming. I'm a five-body thrower who admires my eldest brother's cunning! ”

Yang Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Compared to the real battlefield, what we used to learn in the Shangwu Academy was like a child's game of war. There's so much to think about on a real battlefield. The situation of our army, the situation of the enemy, the route of the march, the route of the barrage, the weather conditions, the terrain situation......"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Xun blocked his ears: "It's too troublesome, my head is big, anyway, I'll listen to your eldest brother tomorrow, what you say, I'll do it." You can worry about other things, big brother! ”

Yang Yan had no choice but to smile bitterly, and secretly said: The more you know, the more painful it is, you know what the real battlefield is, but you are not so sure of victory, it is better to be a small general before, you don't know anything, just listen to today's actions.

Lying on the marching bed, Yang Yan couldn't help but think of his previous days in Shangwu Academy.

Cao Xun and Gao Zhen were also Yang Yan's only two friends in the Shangwu Academy. And Yang Yan and the other classmates were just to meet and say hello. There are even some people Yang Yan who doesn't even know their names. On the one hand, it is because Yang Yan is not very good at communicating with people, and on the other hand, it is also because Yang Yan does not have a lot of time to attend classes in the Liuwu Academy.

Just a month after Yang Yan entered the Shangwu Academy, one day after dinner, Yang Yizhong called Yang Yan to the study and asked, "Yan'er, you have also studied in the Shangwu Academy for a month, how are you doing?" ”

Yang Yan scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, there are some courses I don't think I need to learn." ”

Yang Yizhong said: "What kind of course, let's listen to it." ”

Yang Yan said: "For example, fighting, knife skills, spear skills, these courses. I feel like I can't even stop learning. ”

Yang Yizhong also laughed when he heard it. Although Yang Yan's age is not very old, he has received Wan Xiansheng's true biography since he was a child, if he is far higher than those instructors in the martial arts academy, although Wan Xiansheng did not teach Yang Yan weapons, but Bijing Yang Yan has a solid foundation, and he learns much faster than others. In the past month or so, he has practiced the "Blood Battle Sword Technique" to perfection. Even in terms of knife skills, it is not inferior to Yang Changpeng. What's more, Yang Yizhong's "Blood Battle Sword Technique" is also one of the best sword techniques in the world, and it would be a waste of time for Yang Yan to learn these things in the Shangwu Academy.

Yang Yan said: "In yesterday's art of war class, the instructor told us that 'put the place of death and then live' said that soldiers have no way to retreat in the place of death, and they will inevitably fight to the death, and they can often defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less. If Xiang Yu breaks the kettle and sinks the boat, Han Xin's battle against the water is all the truth. ”

Yang Yizhong nodded and said, "That's a good point!" Is there anything you don't understand. ”

Yang Yan said: "But then I asked the instructor, didn't it be said in the military book that 'going back to the water to form a formation is a taboo for soldiers'?" Why was Han Xin able to succeed, and Zhao Kuo in the Battle of Changping, and Ma Tan in the Street Pavilion were also dying, why did they fail? ”

Yang Yizhong said: "It's a good question, so how did the instructor answer you?" ”

Yang Yan scratched his head, a little embarrassed and said, "The instructor said that I was disrupting the class and kicked me out." ”

Yang Yizhong couldn't help laughing, Yang Yan's question was really difficult for an ordinary instructor to answer. After thinking for a while, Yang Yizhong said: "Yan'er, you must know that when soldiers are dying on the battlefield, they will not necessarily fight to the death, and there are other options." ”

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said, "Yes, sometimes soldiers will surrender when they see that the situation is wrong. In other words, if you want to use the strategy of 'putting the place of death and then going to court', you must first ensure that your soldiers will not surrender. ”

Yang Yizhong smiled and said, "Yes, then if Yan'er is led by you, what can you do to make your soldiers not surrender?" ”

Yang Yan thought for a while and said: "I will tell the soldiers before the battle, saying that the enemy's commander is very brutal and will slaughter the soldiers, just like Bai Qi, so that surrender is also a dead end, then the soldiers will not surrender, but fight to the death." ”

Yang Yizhong nodded and said, "This is a way, but what if the enemy's commander is a general like Yanghu?" ”

Yang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Yang Yizhong said: "Yan'er, you must know that the so-called famous generals must have the ability to make the soldiers serve the dead. ”

Yang Yan silently recited it a few times, "It can make the soil pawn serve the death force", thoughtfully. He also said: "Grandpa, then how can you let the soldiers serve you with death." ”

Yang Yizhong said: "Everyone has their own way to this. Like Wu Qi, he usually lives a luxurious life, but when he fights, he can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and the same food and lodging. And personally cleaned the blood of the native soldiers and gave medicine. Treat the soldier well in this way, and the soldier will fight to the death for him. Like Chen Qingzhi, every time the reward of the imperial court is distributed to the soldiers without reservation, so that when the war starts, the soldiers will naturally die for him. There is also Huo Quai, every time he fights, he rushes to the front, the main general is not afraid of death, and the soldiers are naturally not afraid. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Grandpa has made it very clear, but why can't the instructor say such a truth?" ”

Yang Yizhong laughed and said, "Yan'er, grandpa has fought for most of his life. How can your instructors compare? ”

Yang Yan suddenly asked, "What about General Yue Fei?" What did General Yue Fei do? ”

Yang Yizhong was silent for a moment and said, "Yue Pengju? Yue Pengju is indeed a wonder in the world, and I am good, Han Liangchen, Liu Xinshu, Wu Tangqing and others, there is no younger and more talented than him. It's a pity ......"

Yang Yan asked, "What is a pity?" ”

Yang Yizhong sighed: "Yue Pengju is too conceited, other people don't pay attention to it, and he is always ruthless when criticizing others. As a result, it has offended many people. ”

Yang Yan has read a lot of books in Yang Yizhong's study for more than a month, and Long Qi is a book about Yue Fei. Therefore, I know that Yang Yizhong is talking about the mutiny of the Huaixi Army that year.

The Huaixi Army was originally the army of Liu Guangshi, the four generals of Zhongxing. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Liu Guangshi was in Huaixi, the army was undisciplined, Zhang Jun asked to dismiss Guangshi, and the Huaixi army was temporarily commanded by the generals Wang De and Li Qiong. When Emperor Zhao wanted to hand over the Huaixi Army to Yue Fei's command, and issued an edict to Wang De and others: Listen to Fei's orders, as if I did it myself. And edict Yue Fei: The matter of Zhongxing is entrusted to the secretary. And Qin Hui was the main peace, so he did not subordinate Yue Fei to virtue and Qiong soldiers.

Later, Lei Yue Fei discussed with Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun said: "Wang Dehuai is served by the Western Army, Jun wants to think that the capital is unified, and he orders Lu Zhi to lead it with the staff of the governor's mansion, how about it?" Fei said: "Virtue and Qiong Su are not compatible, once they are on top, they will fight." Lu Shangshu is not accustomed to the military, and he is afraid that he will not be able to serve the public. Jun said: "How is Zhang Xuanfu?" Fei said: "Violent and unscrupulous, You Qiong is not convinced." Jun said: "Then Yang Yizhonger? Fei said: "Yizhong Shide waits, how can you control this army?" Jun Ran said: "Jun Gu knows that he must be a captain." Fei said: "The governor is asking Fei, don't dare not be foolish, how can he think of winning soldiers?" ”

As a result, Zhang Jun did not listen to Yue Fei's words, and ordered Lu Zhi, the secretary of the General Staff Department, to go to Luzhou to control it. Before he arrived, Qiong and others rebelled and returned to Liu Yu by holding Lu Zhi. If you can't do it, you will die. But the statement that there was no one in Yue Fei's eyes also spread from then on.

Yang Yan said: "Isn't there anyone who reminds General Yue?" ”

Yang Yizhong sighed: "His subordinates all respect him like a god, how could anyone tell him, even if someone reminds him, but he thinks that he is acting above board, and he has no idea of protecting himself at all." But he didn't know that those who admired him naturally trusted him, and those who had bad intentions towards him would be very dangerous to him. It's a pity that most of the ministers around the Emperor Taishang are the latter. ”

Yang Yan listened, and was silent for a while. Yang Yizhong didn't want to talk about Yue Fei, and said: "Yan'er, the most taboo thing to learn the art of war is to read military books, and I don't know how to be flexible. It's good that you can think with your heart. ”

Yang Yan said: "But the instructors of our academy can't tell these truths." ”

Yang Yizhong smiled: "Yan, the answers to some questions need to be found by yourself, everyone will have their own answers, and even the answers will not be the same at different times." Other people's opinions can only play a role in some reference, and the final decision is still your own! ”

Yang Yan nodded yes.

Yang Yizhong said again: "That's it, if you think some courses are useless and don't want to learn them." You don't have to go. Just learn what makes you useful, but I ask you to do one thing. ”

Yang Yan said: "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Yizhong said: "With your martial arts, I'm afraid that no one in the Shangwu Academy is your opponent, and if you don't learn some courses, you will be much higher than others." Although you have not learned subjects such as equestrian and archery, you will learn much faster than others with your martial arts foundation. But I don't want you to be too revealing, that is, I want you not to be too prominent in all aspects. ”

Yang Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Yang Yizhong to make such a request, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

Yang Yizhong said: "You will know this slowly in the future, can you do it anyway?" ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yang Yizhong said: "Yan'er, you have to remember that I don't want you to deliberately behave badly and badly, but to maintain a situation that is neither good nor bad, neither high nor low, do you understand?" ”

Yang Yan thought about it seriously and said, "I understand, try it as much as possible." ”

Among the students of Shangwu Academy, there are always some students who come to mess around. There are many people who often skip classes, and most of them are children of princes and ministers. Generally speaking, as long as it does not affect normal teaching, most of the instructors will turn a blind eye. No one is going to take it seriously. Yang Yan was very reluctant and joined the list of students who often skip class. Therefore, during the three years of studying in the Shangwu Academy, Yang Yan has been working hard to meet Yang Yizhong's requirements, and his performance is very average but not too bad, and he is completely a person who is not up or down, not good or bad. However, Yang Yan found that it was not easy to maintain such a state without showing traces.

"In the end, it's my grandfather who is so good that he gave me such a problem." Although Yang Yan sometimes complains like this, he has always done well. It did not arouse the suspicion of other students and instructors. Also includes Cao Xun and Gao Zhen. For an instructor, it would be nice for a student who had been skipping classes most of the time to maintain an average level of proficiency.

"If you look at it from the perspective of interpersonal relationships, I am probably in a similar situation to Princess Yong'an." Since Yang Yan had a fight with Princess Yongan on the first day he came to Shangwu Academy, the two found out that they both belonged to the same academy. Although Yang Yan is always absent from class, there are many times when they meet, but the two seem to have tacitly avoided each other, intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, she almost didn't even say anything, but her sister Princess Yongning, who was often inseparable from Princess Yong'an, took the initiative to greet Yang Yan several times.

However, Yang Yan still has two friends, Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, but Princess Yongan doesn't even have a friend, at least except for Princess Yongning, Yang Yan has never seen her walking with other girls.

"Such a female worm, who dares to pay attention to her." Gao Zhen said. Cao Xun shouted peace on the side.

In fact, Princess Yong'an and the sisters are rare**. In the past three years, it has become more and more beautiful and dusty. The difference is that Princess Yong'an is cold and lonely, which makes people dare not get close, while Princess Yongning is Yonghe and noble, easy and generous. It's just a pity that the two often walk together, so that all the boys can only look at their backs from a distance and whisper.

"Hey, hey! In the future, if that person is unlucky, he will be recruited by that girl to be a colt, and it will be miserable. Cao Xun sometimes joked with Yang Yan, "It's better for you to be this colt, big brother." Because only eldest brother you have won this girl, Xiao Gao and I at least have Princess Yongning to fight. ”

However, unlike Princess Yong'an, Princess Yongning's popularity in Shangwu Academy is quite good. Even when she is with Princess Yong'an, Princess Yongning will also bring a few girls with her. Sometimes occasionally separated from Princess Yong'an, Princess Yongning would immediately surround a large group of boys, including Cao Xun and Gao Zhen.

Sometimes Gao Zhen and Cao Xun also sighed to the sky: "Why are there such a big difference between two people who are also princesses?" ”

Of course, in the past three years, the tassel has grown into a slim and beautiful girl, gentle and obedient, charming and clever, and the Yang Mansion likes her very much. Wan Ruju is even more regarded as her own. Yang Yan also treated her like a sister, and usually taught her to read and write. When she has nothing to do, she often takes tassels to the West Lake to play, and sometimes takes her to the suburbs to hunt.

Because he often goes out hunting with Yang Yan, Tassel not only can ride horses, but also learned some elementary martial arts, although it is not of great use, but it can also strengthen the body, but it is not as weak as the average lady. "It turns out that there is a big beauty hidden in the eldest brother's house!" When Cao Xun saw the tassel for the first time, he looked salivating, and Gao Zhen, who came with him, was no better. It was only after being kicked twice by Yang Yan that he returned to normal.

******************************

Sangmuin conducts a comprehensive examination for students who graduate every year. to assess the learning performance of the students.

The exam is divided into three parts: about five or six hundred students graduate each year, and the first is the basic exam, which is equestrian, archery, strength, and written exams. It is divided into ten grades according to A, B, C, D, etc. Finally, the top 256 students will enter the next stage of the exam: martial arts competition. It is a one-on-one competition between the students. The loser is eliminated, and the winner advances until the final winner is decided. Only the top eight in the martial arts competition can take the final test: the battlefield test. Each of the eight cadets leads a team of men, and under the same conditions, they command the army to compete on the battlefield, and the final winner is determined according to the elimination system.

According to the customary list, the eight people who take the battlefield exam can get the opportunity to meet the emperor. and was rewarded by the emperor himself. It is a high honor. And the first place can also be entrusted to a low-ranking military attaché. In the minds of students, it is no less than winning martial arts. When Yang Changpeng graduated from Shangwu Academy three years ago, he won the second place in both the martial arts competition and the battlefield exam, and Yijing was very good.

Now that the examination of the Shangwu Academy has begun with the sutra and the basic examination has ended with the sutra, Yang Yan ranks the second and second among the five hundred and eighty-seven students, which can be regarded as having obtained the qualification for the next stage. At the same time, Yang Yizhong also lifted the restrictions on him and allowed him to participate in the martial arts competition with all his might. Therefore, Yang Yan unexpectedly won consecutive battles in the martial arts competition and reached the final in one fell swoop.

And the opponent in the final turned out to be Princess Yong'an.

"How could it be her!" Yang Yan thought to himself.

Unlike Yang Yan, although Yongan Public is arrogant and popular, his results have always been very good. In the basic exam, she won the first place with a terrifying full score, and it was a matter of course for most people to enter the finals of the martial arts competition. However, Yang Yan was able to enter the finals, which was a big surprise.

The contest was performed on a five-foot square wooden platform, which was three feet high and had no railings around it. The audience was surrounded by students. I want to take a look at the contest between the biggest hit and the biggest dark horse this year. There are also many male students who usually dare not face Princess Yong'an, and they can take this opportunity to enjoy Princess Yong'an's peerless beauty.

Yang Yan and Princess Yong'an were about three zhang away from each other, standing opposite each other. Yang Yan was dressed in green clothes, holding a wooden knife in his hand, and pointed at Princess Yong'an. Princess Yong'an was dressed in a white samurai suit with gold-trimmed patterns, and her long hair was tied up and tied into a ponytail that hung from her left shoulder to her chest. A strand of hair on his forehead slightly covers half of his face. A pair of autumn-like eyes stared at Yang Yan, holding a wooden stick in his right hand, behind his back, and a piece of stick head was exposed from his left shoulder.

The three-way drum sounded, and the game officially began. Neither of them moved.

Princess Yong'an said slowly: "For three years, I have been waiting for an opportunity to challenge you again, and now I have finally waited for it. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "Can't you think that you are still thinking about that fight three years ago?" I've been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

Princess Yongan said: "You will not understand me. I can't forget it because it was the first time I lost to someone else. But it's good to be able to challenge you again on this occasion. I'm curious to see how much I've improved in the past three years. ”

Yang Yan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll let you get your wish." ”

In an instant, the two of them jumped forward at the same time, the knives and sticks danced like lightning, and the wooden knives and sticks made a series of clashing sounds, all of which were quick moves in the blink of an eye. The students who were watching saw two figures, one green and one white, suddenly separated, and in the blink of an eye, the two had changed positions. Each holding a knife and a stick has become a situation of confrontation again.

The audience immediately burst into warm applause. The sound was not stopped, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing away Princess Yong'an's hair covering half of her face, revealing a beautiful and cold face, white clothes fluttering, black hair flying, like a mythical fairy, so that every student present looked at Princess Yong'an with a clear eye, but no one found that Yang Yan, who was opposite Princess Yong'an, did not even move a corner of his clothes.

The wooden knife in Yang Yan's hand was slowly raised, pointing at Princess Yong'an from afar, his eyes were blazing, and in an instant, everyone present felt that Yang Yan seemed to be a different person, and he was not the usual student who didn't care about anything, but a mighty cheetah, ready to go.

Princess Yong'an's eyes shone sharply, and the wooden stick in her hand was slowly raised, the head of the stick rose slightly, and she pointed at Yang Yan obliquely.

Yang Yan let out a long roar, and the wooden knife in his hand drew an arc, directly taking Princess Yong'an. Everyone present suddenly felt that the wind was blowing and blowing in their faces. Princess Yong'an waved the wooden stick, just in time to meet the wooden stick, the knife and stick intersected, but everyone seemed to hear a thunderclap in their ears.

Yang Yan slashed out eight knives in a row like a rainbow, and Princess Yongan blocked left and right. Blocked eight knives in a row. Yang Yan's knife was endless, and then he swung five more knives, forcing Princess Yongan to parry for a while, and there was no room to fight back. Finally, he couldn't stop Yang Yan's stormy attack and had to take a step back.

Yang Yan saw that he was struggling with three knives, and Princess Yong'an took three steps back, retreating to the edge of Muhe with the warp, and only then did she dissolve all the three knives. But Yang Yan's offensive was finally exhausted, and he had to retract his strength and give himself time to return his strength. And Princess Yongan was also overwhelmed by this round of offensive, unable to fight back, and the two sides returned to a confrontational situation.

And the people present just now only felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and the sound of explosion and thunder in the ear chakra one after another, and the people who were close to the stage retreated one after another, and those with shallow skills had already covered their ears. As soon as the two stopped, everyone also felt as if they were relieved, and they all forgot to cheer, and they were silent.

Princess Yongan screamed softly and took the initiative to attack Yang Yan, Yang Yan waved his knife to meet him, and the two fought in one place again.

Three years ago, Princess Yongan couldn't survive under Yang Yan. At that time, Yang Yan had not yet practiced the "Vigorous and Resolute Dafa", and now Yang Yan practiced the second layer of the "Vigorous and Resolute Dafa" with the scriptures, and he was only one step away from breaking through the third layer, but Zhao Yueru was able to fight with him on a par, indicating that in the past three years, Zhao Yueru has obviously made rapid progress.

In fact, the stick method made by Zhao Yueru is the Taizu stick method created by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was originally a top martial arts master, and when he was young, he worshiped under the ancestor of Huashan Chen. Later, he created a set of boxing methods and a set of stick methods. Later generations called Taizu Changquan and Taizu stick method, both of which are first-class martial arts. However, most of the later Great Song emperors and royal children did not practice martial arts. So much so that no one has practiced these two sets of martial arts since Zhao Kuangyin. Lord Yong'an also learned from the boxing and stick books hidden in the palace, and with the guidance of masters, he finally became the second person to practice these two sets of martial arts after Zhao Kuangyin.

Although Yong'an Gonggong is a woman, the "Taizu stick method" is full of fierce ways. And Yang Yan also launched the "Blood Battle Knife Method" to move and attack, not giving an inch. Although it was only two people fighting, it seemed to make people feel like they were on the battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, and the two armies were fighting bloodily.

The knives and sticks intersected again, and there was a loud thunderous sound, and the two of them each took three steps back, and finally separated again.

The students present were naturally thrilled to watch. Desperately cheering for the two. The instructors secretly complained one by one. The martial arts of these two people have long been far beyond the level of ordinary students. Although they use wooden knives and sticks, they are not much different from real people in their hands. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that both sides will inevitably lose.

Needless to say, Princess Yong'an. This is Yang Yan and Yang Yi's grandson, and it is not trivial. Although none of these identities have any privileges in the Shangwu Academy, if the two of them have any accidents, the instructors present will be in big trouble. Therefore, the instructors were so frightened that they had to silently beg God not to have an accident.

Yang Yan took a deep breath, and his figure straightened slightly.

The wind is up again. But it's not the unsettling wind that just now. It became a breeze centered on Yang Yan and emanated. What's even more surprising is that there is still a faint sound of thunder in the wind. This thunder was not a deafening explosion when the swords and sticks struck each other, but the kind of muffled thunder when the mountain rain was about to come.

The air gradually became heavier, with a slight breeze and a dull thunder. Everyone in the room felt that their breath was heavy and the atmosphere was depressing. Princess Yong'an, who was closest to Yang Yan, did not change her face, and still looked cold and calm.

Yang Yan's mouth showed a hint of a smile. The wooden knife in his hand slashed at Princess Yong'an. Listening to the sound of "gurgling" and "gurgling", a crack suddenly appeared on the hard wooden platform, starting from in front of Yang Yan and stretching towards Princess Yong'an.

Princess Yong'an snorted coldly, and the wooden stick in her hand slammed to the ground, and there was a "cluck" and "cluck" sound, and a horizontal crack stretched out from the head of the stick to both sides, just blocking the crack that stretched from Yang Yan's side.

Looking at the two cracks on the stage, which have been in the shape of a "D", the students in the audience were all amazed, and the propaganda was secretly eating starlings. Such martial arts have heard of it.

Yang Yan exhaled lightly and said, "The princess has indeed made rapid progress in the past three years, you must have put in a lot of hard work." ”

Princess Yongan said lightly: "As long as I can win you, everything is worth it." ”

Yang Yan said: "Then let this battle be clear." Now it's time to decide the winner. ”

Princess Yong'an's graceful Dan lips finally showed a smile: "Very good, I also want to know the answer as soon as possible." ”

Suddenly, both of them were launched at the same time. The blue shadow and the white shadow flashed. Wooden knives and long sticks are struck with great force. The wind was fierce and the thunder was loud, making people unstable and deafening. There was a "rattle" and two huge forces collided together, making a deafening sound. A few students with slightly less skillful skills couldn't stand the fall and sat on the ground.

The two men in the stands switched positions again, facing each other. Princess Yong'an holds a stick in her right hand and carries her back behind her back. However, the wooden knife in Yang Yan's hand was broken into two, and only half of it was held in Yang Yan's hand.

But the instructor who was the referee of the game immediately said loudly: "The game is over, Yang Yan loses." ”

Yang Yan looked at the broken knife in his hand, sighed, and said, "Princess, this time you won." With that, he threw away the wooden knife in his hand and jumped off the stage.

Cao Xun and Gao Zhen in the audience immediately surrounded them: "Big brother, do you really admit defeat?"

Yang Yan said: "My knife is broken, what if I don't admit defeat, the instructor also ruled that I lost."

Gao Zhen said: "The knife is broken, big brother, you can still fight her with the white blade empty-handed, you will definitely be able to win empty-handed."

Yang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Winning is winning, losing is losing." What does it matter if you throw in the towel? It's a big deal next time to win back. ”

Princess Yongan on the stage did not have any joy after winning. just looked at Yang Yan with a puzzled expression, accompanied by Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, and squeezed out of the crowd. The wooden stick in his hand made a soft "snap", and a crack appeared, which continued to expand.

******************************

Yang Yan returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a burst of laughter in the back room: "Yan'er, you're back." ”

Yang Yan was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and shouted, "Grandpa, it's you who came." Immediately ran into the hall, and sure enough, Wan Xiansheng was sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle.

For the past three years, Wan Xiansheng has come to visit their mother and son every few months. But it always doesn't alarm the rest of the Yang Mansion. But later, seeing that their mother and son were living well, Wan Xiansheng was also relieved, and gradually came less. These scriptures have not been here for more than a year.

Wan Xiansheng laughed and said, "Yan'er, you have grown taller again." ”

At this time, Wan Ruju got the notice from Yahuan and walked out of the back room, and couldn't help but say: "Dad, you are always so ghostly, and you don't say hello when you come." ”

As soon as the tassel saw Wan Ruju coming out, he hurriedly walked over, held Wan Ruju and said, "Mother, your illness is not healed yet, why did you get up." ”

Yang Yan also walked to the side of Hall Ruju and said, "Mother, you better go back and lie down, don't come out, be careful of the wind." ”

Wan Xiansheng frowned and said, "Ruju, don't be strong if you are not in good health, our father and daughter still talk about so many rules and do things." As he spoke, he came to Wan Ruju's side and pulled up her right hand, middle finger, and ring finger to catch her pulse.

Wan Ruju said: "Dad, it doesn't matter to me, haven't I come over like this for so many years?" ”

Wan Xiansheng looked solemn and said: "Ruju, this disease is not light, Yan'er will help you lie in your mother's room first." ”

Yang Yan agreed, and together with the tassel, he helped Wan Ruju back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. Yang Yan asked, "Mother, have you drunk today's medicine?" “

Wan Ruju said: "Not yet, you and the tassel go to decoction, it's okay to have my grandfather with me." ”

After Yang Yan and Tassel walked out of the bedroom, Wan Ruju said to Wan Xian: "Dad, I know, I'm afraid I won't get better from this illness." ”

Wan Xiansheng frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, with your father here, you will be fine if you have any illness." ”

Wan Ruju smiled: "Dad, don't lie to me, I've had this disease for more than 30 years, I don't know if it's light or serious, good or bad?" Even Hua Tuo can't cure it even if he is alive. ”

Wan Xiansheng let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more.

Wan Ruju said again: "I returned to the Yang family with Yan'er for three years, and I was very happy to see Yan'er grow up day by day, my mother-in-law often said to me, 'My father-in-law always said that Yan'er is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely become a great weapon in the future', I think I am worthy of him when I see Chaohui under Jiuquan." It's a pity that I can't see the day when Yan'er gets ahead. After a pause, he said, "But Dad, don't tell Yan'er about my condition." My father-in-law said that he was about to take the exam of the Shangwu Academy, but he should not be distracted by my illness. “

Wan Xiansheng nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you not to tell him for the time being." ”

After decocting the medicine, Yang Yan and Tassel helped Wan Ruju to drink the medicine, and Wan Ruju fell asleep. Tassel said: "Brother, my mother is just for me to watch, you go and accompany your grandfather." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, tassel, my mother will work hard for you to take care of it." ”

Walking to the outhouse, Wan Xiansheng was sitting in the outhouse, and Yang Yan said, "Grandpa, how is my mother's condition?" ”

Wan Xian said: "With my grandfather here, it's okay." You can prepare for your exam with peace of mind. During this time, your mother will have me and the tassel to take care of. ”

Yang Yan said: "That's good, I won't be able to come back for the last exam for several days." ”

Wan Xiansheng said: "I've been to see today's martial arts competition, who is the little girl who competes with you?" How does she know how to do nothing? ”

Yang Yan said: "She? She's a princess. He told Wan Xiansheng the identity of Princess Yong'an.

Wan Xiansheng frowned and said, "Princess? How could a princess be so incompatible? This is the martial arts of the Xiaoyao faction, Shui Ri and Shui Jing, the two old nuns, but what does she have to do with it? ”

Yang Yan asked, "How is it the Xiaoyao faction?" What is Xiao Wuxianggong? ”

Wan Xian said: "The Xiaoyao faction is a very mysterious sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is not among the eight major sects. Their martial arts were born from Zhuangzi's [Xiao Yao You], hence the name Xiao Yao School. Before Nandu, there were several masters who had experienced hardship, and they gradually became known. Xiao Wuxianggong is the internal strength of the Xiaoyao School. ”

Yang Yan said: "Since it was born from Zhuangzi's [Xiaoyao You], then it should be regarded as a Taoist lineage, why take a Buddhist name." ”

Wan Xiansheng laughed and said: "Buddhism and Taoism are of the same origin, what is the difference?" But that little girl's martial arts are really good, and she is actually on par with you. ”

Yang Yan said with a smile: "Didn't the instructor sentence me to lose?" ”

Wan Xian said: "That's because you are not familiar with the third layer of the 'Thunder Calendar Wind Dafa', so you can't protect the knife if you don't grasp the strength well, and you will be dismantled." ”

Yang Yan said: "In fact, until the lack of competition, I only practiced to the two layers of wind and thunder, and the third layer has not been able to break through, and the general party has to miss something." But today's martial arts competition, all of a sudden, the wind and thunder were united. ”

It turns out that the "Thunder Calendar Wind Dafa" is divided into nine layers. There are three difficulties, the first three layers are the foundation, the first layer is "wind", the second layer is "thunder", and the third layer is "together", that is, the wind and thunder are one. It is also the first difficulty in the cultivation of "vigorous and resolute Dafa", and only after passing this level can we hope to enter the hope of the "vigorous and resolute Dafa" Dafa. In the past, many people practiced the two qi of wind and thunder, but they could not practice the unity of wind and thunder with all their life's efforts.

Once the third layer is broken, the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers can be reached step by step, one by one, and the second difficulty is the seventh layer, and breaking through the seventh layer is the acquired innate level. Those who were able to reach this step, except for the Feng Lei Master who created the "Thunder Calendar Wind Dafa" back then, there was only one person who showed his voice for hundreds of years.

And the ninth layer is the last difficulty, once it breaks through to the ninth layer, Ju said that he can reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man, which even Wan Xiansheng has not been able to do.

Wan Xian said: "Yes, advanced martial arts are not something that can be practiced at home behind closed doors. It is often the case that it is only at the threshold of life and death that people's full potential can be stimulated. Or maybe there's an evenly matched opponent pushing each other forward. When you're done with the Wind and Thunder, you'll be able to win against that little girl. ”
