Chapter 112: The Truth of National Salvation

On the day after Wu Haogu almost ate Pan Qiaolian in his mouth, on the north bank of the Huai River, along the official road to the north of the salt river, he galloped past thirty or forty horsemen, all of whom were dressed as dusty merchants, and carried bows and arrows and straight knives, and the dust on their faces was quite thick.

And among these thirty or forty horsemen, the first one, if Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian saw it, would definitely be surprised.

It turned out that this gentleman was Pan Qiaolian's brother-in-law, Dong Weng of the Pan family's gold and silver silk silk shop, the official worshiped Bingyilang, and there was also a commander in the Japanese army Pan Xiao'an, Pan Daguanren!

Originally, he had always been pampered, and he would fall down when he rode a horse, but now he actually ate as much as he was lucky, riding all the way on horseback, his white face was tanned, and he was a little dry and cracked by the wind.

However, looking at his equestrian skills, he has obviously improved a lot, sitting firmly on the horse hermitage, holding the reins with one hand, and he seems to be at ease.

It seems that he has been riding horses all the way, and he has finally practiced it.

"Commander," a middle-aged man who looked quite capable at first glance rode his horse to the side of Pan Daguan and said loudly, "There is a pavilion in front of you, but you want to go in and rest for a day?" ”

When Pan Daguan heard this, he glared at him on horseback and scolded: "Straight lady thief, rest a fart!" If you put your official's uncle away, see if I don't send you to fight the Western Thief! ”

The person who spoke was named Chen Xizhen, and he was also a miscellaneous military minister of the forbidden army, with good skills, he had been with Pan Xiao'an for ten years, and it was the first time he saw Pan Xiao'an, how could he endure hardship!

For ten days in a row, people did not undress, horses did not unsaddle, and they hurried with their lives...... This strength is simply comparable to Pan Mei, the ancestor of the Pan family.

However, it is normal for Pan Xiao'an to fight so hard, because his sister Pan Qiaolian was looked down on by Duan Wang Zhao Ji, and he had already asked for the "Pan Qiaolian Photo" of Wuhao's ancient paintings, and copied it all day long, and more than ten days ago he also proposed to see Pan Qiaolian......

This is most likely to look at Pan Qiaolian, and she wants to marry back to be a concubine - Pan Qiaolian's identity is on the table, and she can only be a concubine when she enters the palace!

She will be the queen in the future!

Now Pan Xiao'an can't sit still anymore, his sister can be with Wu Haogu's little white face, if Wu Haogu sleeps...... The queen is gone!

Therefore, Pan Xiao'an gathered his henchmen that night, and left Kaifeng Mansion the next day, day and night, beating mandarin ducks......

The pavilion is not entered, the food still has to be eaten, and the horses have to be fed, otherwise they will not have the strength to continue the journey.

"Here I rested, and I had some food, and I fed the horses." Pan Xiao'an grabbed the reins, stopped the horse under his crotch, then turned over and threw the reins to Chen Xizhen.

"Chen Dalang, go and tell the brothers, when he arrives in Haizhou, he will keep his mouth shut for Lao Tzu, who dares to talk more, and when he returns to Kaifeng Mansion, he will fight Lao Tzu to fight the West Thief!"

"Whoa!" Chen Xizhen answered loudly, but then thought that something was wrong, and asked again, "Commander, what don't you let the brothers say?" ”

"It's a matter of Eighteen and Duanwang!" Pan Xiaoli gritted his teeth, "Don't say a word!" ”

"Oh." Chen Xizhen thought for a while, "But if someone inquires, what should I say?" ”

Pan Xiao'an is right when she thinks about it, his sister is very spicy, and a little deviant, marrying Duanwang Zhao Ji, a good thing that others dream of, in her opinion, it is like that - anyway, she and Wu Haogu are not very poor couples, the two of them have money, and the backstage is also hard, what's wrong with the life of a fairy couple? Why rush headlong into the Great Song Dynasty Palace, which eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

However, for Pan Xiao'an, if his sister becomes the queen, he will ascend to the sky in one step and become the uncle of the country! The official position will also soon jump from the eighth rank Bingyilang to the fourth and fifth rank of the assassin history, and he will be older than Wang Xu, and even with his sons, he can also make up for the official position.

His room is going to soar in the future!

So this thing is in him, and it is determined to win!

He thought for a moment and said sharply: "Let's just say that someone is chewing his tongue in the gate of the mansion!" Don't say anything else, you know? ”

"Got it, Xiao Di will go and command." Chen Xizhen responded and turned around.

Pan Xiao'an breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that the bones in his body hurt. Along the way, he has really suffered a lot, and now it depends on whether the girl in the golden bottle is able to do her job.

If the surnamed Wu sleeps Pan Qiaolian and sleeps again, and the raw rice is all cooked and cooked, then everything will be yellow!

No, we can't wait any longer.

If you wait one more night, there will be more danger!

Thinking of this, Pan Xiao'an didn't care about the lack of people and horses, took out dry food and gnawed a few bites, drank some cold water, and then staggered up and shouted: "Brothers, get up for Lao Tzu, continue on the road, you must go to Panjiazhuang in Haizhou tonight!" This official is rewarded! ”

"Whoa!"

……

"Second Brother Ma, Confucian scholars like you in the Northern Dynasties are all very well educated?"

Wu Haogu didn't expect the green clouds to gather on his head at this time, he was watching the sea, tasting tea, and discussing life ideals with Ma Zhi, Mi Youren, and Ximen Qing on Tingtao Xuan in Pan's Manor.

Although he has known Ma Zhi for a short time, Wu Haogu has admired this "Second Brother Ma" very much.

People are talents!

Able to be literate and martial, full of strategy.

Although he is a harlequin in the history books, he made great efforts to the demise of Da Liao, and Yan Yun was basically recovered by him, if it weren't for the poor combat effectiveness of the Song army, the Great Song Dynasty would have fulfilled his ambition for more than 160 years by relying on him!

And Wu Haogu also knew that in the last days of the Great Liao, there was also a radiant Confucian - Dashi Linya, Yelu Dashi!

A Ma Zhi subverted the splendid rivers and mountains of Da Liao, and a Da Shi opened up the Western Liao Empire that dominated Central Asia with the remnants of the Khitan army, and also defeated the Seljuk Turkic Empire that was in full swing in the West!

Just these two figures, among the contemporaries of the Northern Song Dynasty Confucian scholars, how many people can be compared?

From the perspective of the later souls of Wu Haogu, this is the success of Confucian education in the Northern Dynasties, and it is also the failure of Song Confucianism!

You must know that the number of Song Confucians is a hundred times that of Liao Confucianism, if you can produce a hundred Yelu stones and add a hundred horse plants, how can there be a shame of Jingkang?

So Wu Haogu asked what Ma Zhi was reading?

"Learn the six arts, learn the six arts of a gentleman." Ma Zhi asked with a smile, "Da Lang and Xiao Yi are both scholars, they should know the six arts of a gentleman, right?" ”

Of course, Wu Haogu knew the "six arts of the gentleman", which is the six skills of "etiquette", "music", "archery", "royal", "calligraphy" and "mathematics".

The "rites" in it are not entirely the meaning of etiquette, but also include the content of systems, laws and military aspects. For example, the "military salute" in the "Five Rites" refers to military regulations.

And "shooting" and "royal" are also related to the military, one is archery, the other is driving and car battles - now there is no car war, naturally horse riding and horse fighting.

In other words, a considerable part of the content of the six arts of the gentleman is quite practical military knowledge. The art of "mathematics" and "calligraphy" is basically a practical study.

If we use the words of later generations, "Liao Confucians" like Ma Zhi mainly studied practical learning, while Song Confucians in the same period paid too much attention to moral articles and despised the knowledge of doing things and fighting wars.

Of course, Song Ruzhong's article was mainly deliberately guided by the officials of the Song Dynasty!

Characters like Ma Zhi and Yelu Dashi are powerful, but they are also really dangerous. One went out to destroy Liao, and the other also killed the generals and seized the army to open up the Western Liao, but they are not good people......

Ma Zhi then said: "When Dalang goes north to Yanyun, how about a certain family take you to Yanshan Academy, which has been studying for more than ten years?" ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wu Haogu vaguely felt that he would soon find the "truth of saving the country". Just as he was about to inquire further about Yanshan Academy, Guo Jing's shout suddenly came.

"Da Lang, Pan Daguan is here!"
