Chapter 19: The Wine of Parting
Yuan Qing was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Master, don't you teach me?" ”
Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't teach you, but I'm going to go on an expedition, and it is estimated that I won't be able to come back for a year or two, so you can only practice by yourself in the future." ”
Yuan Qing was silent, the generals of the Sui Dynasty were rewarded for their military merits, although Zhang Xutuo taught himself martial arts, but his grandfather could not promote him, Yuan Qing also knew that Zhang Xutuo had been looking forward to fighting for a long time, and he finally waited for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, how could he stop him again.
He nodded, "Where did the master go to fight?" ”
Although Zhang Xutuo didn't talk much, and he was unusually stern, it didn't mean that he didn't like Yuanqing, on the contrary, he liked Yuanqing very much, and even taught him the secrets of Zhang's sword technique without reservation.
Although Yuan Qing is the grandson of Xiangguo, he does not have the slightest arrogance, poor food and clothing, even ordinary people are not as good, he knows that this is because Yuan Qing is an illegitimate child, Zhang Xutuo doesn't care at all, what he cares about is that Yuan Qing is talented, hard training, coupled with a mature mentality, he is not an eight-year-old child at all, and sometimes he even regards Yuan Qing as his friend.
In fact, Zhang Xutuo knows that the people in southern Xinjiang are constantly rebelling, and he will not return to Beijing again when he goes on this expedition, I am afraid that he will not return to Beijing, he really wants to part with Yuanqing, fortunately, Yuanqing has passed the entry period, and the later stagnation period is a process of slow accumulation and improvement, whether he can break through or not, it depends on his own creation.
Yuan Qing has completely mastered his own practice methods, and he is strictly self-disciplined, and he doesn't need his guidance by his side, he still has something to explain today, and then there is nothing to do.
Zhang Xutuo pointed to a small wine shop next to him, "Let's go talk over there." ”
They approached the liquor store and turned over and dismounted, and a guy greeted them, "Master Jun, have a drink!" ”
Zhang Xutuo threw the reins of the war horse to him, "Feed him with high-quality forage and water!" ”
"Okay!" The man took the reins and went to the backyard.
Zhang Xutuo took Yuanqing into the small wine shop, found a secluded seat to sit down, he turned around and instructed the shopkeeper, "Come to two pots of wine, and then cut five catties of sauce mutton!" ”
Zhang Xutuo said to Yuan Qing at this time: "The Queensland Yi rebelled, and the Holy Lord yesterday issued an order to make General Shi the head of the march in Nanning Prefecture, and went to conquer the Yi people, and I will also go out with the army and set off tomorrow." ”
At this time, a guy sent two pots of wine, and Yuan Qing filled Zhang Xutuo with wine and saluted him with a cup, "I wish the master to show his might, make great military achievements, and seal his wife early." ”
Zhang Xutuo smiled, drank the wine, he took out a large package of pills and a prescription from his arms, and handed them to Yuan Qing, "These pills can be used for three months, and after three months, you will have to prepare them yourself, I will give you the prescription, and you will tear off the prescription after you read it." ”
Speaking of this, he stared at Yuan Qing's eyes again and said sternly: "You have to remember that the formula of the elixir is a secret that my Zhang family does not pass on, you can only prepare it yourself, and you are never allowed to pass it on." ”
Yuan Qing took the prescription and read it three times, remembered it firmly, then tore it to shreds and dipped it in wine, "Remember it, never pass it on!" ”
Zhang Xutuo's face was slightly soothing, and he said to Yuan Qing: "The so-called learning is endless, you not only have to persevere, but more importantly, to learn the strengths of others, although I am your master, but our Zhang family does not advocate a master from the end, I have worshiped three masters, including my art of war, which is learned from General Shi Wansui, you have to worship more famous teachers, humbly seek advice, and finally learn Mahayana." ”
Yuan Qing nodded silently, he poured a glass of wine for Zhang Xutuo, and asked curiously: "Master, I don't know if there is a martial arts ranking in the world?" I mean, there are sixteen heroes in the world, right? ”
This is also what Yuan Qing has always wanted to ask, whether there are sixteen heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the romance, although it is a novel, but the novel is also from the wild history, and the wild history will also record some things that are not in the official history, such as some anecdotes, the official history will not be recorded, since he learned martial arts, he always felt that some things in the romance were not fabricated out of thin air, there was always a little place.
Zhang Xutuo picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "There is no first, there is no second in martial arts, it is the nature of a martial artist to be competitive and competitive, He Ruobi and Han Baohu compete for merit, not only for military merit, but also for the ranking of military generals, which everyone in the world knows." ”
Yuan Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Is there really a ranking!" ”
"There is no official ranking, that is, the ranking set by the Holy Lord, but in private the military has a list of ten generals."
"Who will be the first hero in the world?"
Of course, Yuanqing knew that it was not Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanba had not been born yet! It should be an early version, Kai Sui Jiu Lao and the like.
Zhang Xutuo shook his head and smiled: "It's not a good man, the number one general in the world is Xiangguo Gaogong." ”
'Gao Gong? ’
Yuan Qing was stunned, isn't Gao Gong a civil official? How can it be the first good man, after a little thought, he understood, not by the value of force, but by prestige and military talent, there is also a little bit of Wei Jin heavy prestige The idea exists, Gao Gong is a civil and military all-rounder, and he is the prime minister, so it is normal to rank first.
"And the second?"
"The second is your grandfather Yang Su, the third is Yu Wenshu, the fourth is Han Baohu, the fifth is He Ruobi, the sixth is Yu Zhongwen, the seventh is Yu Qingze, the eighth is He Louzigan, the ninth is Liang Rui, and the tenth is Shi Wansui, which is the ranking of the top ten generals recognized by the military."
Nearly half of Yuan Qing had never heard of it, but what he thought of in his mind was Wu Jianzhang, Ding Yanping, Yang Lin, Qiu Rui and others, where did these Kai Sui Nine Elders go?
In fact, he also knows that romance is not history, such as Yu Juluo in the Nine Elders of Kaisu, the master of Yuwen Chengdu, but he is not the founding father, but just a fierce general with martial arts, like Yang Lin, the king of the backer, there is no such person at all, Yuwen Shu is the father of the first traitor Yu Wenhua, I don't know if he has the grandson of Yuwen Chengdu?
He was thinking nonsense in his mind, Zhang Xutuo sighed again and said: "There are talented people in the country, Han Baohu, Liang Rui and others are dead, everyone else is old, and every general in the military hopes that he can also be ranked among the top ten generals." ”
"Does the master want to?"
Zhang Xutuo smiled with a wine glass and said nothing, how could he not want to?
At this moment, there was a knocking sound of leather drums outside the wine shop, and then a horn sounded, followed by a miscellaneous sound of horses' hooves, people and horses neighed, and the outside was very lively, and everyone in the wine shop looked at each other, not knowing what happened?
One of the men ran and shouted: "It's the Turkic Turki Khan who is coming!" ”
The drinkers ran to the door to see the excitement, Zhang Xutuo heard that it was Tuli Khan, his face changed slightly, he got up and walked quickly to the window, Yuan Qing also followed, looking out of the window.
I saw in front of the Mingde Gate in the distance, thousands of Sui cavalry escorted a team composed of hundreds of Turkic knights were waiting to enter the city, the Turkic knights held white flags, they wore hats, wore two armor, bows and arrows on their backs, swords on their waists, and spears on their backs, which looked majestic.
Zhang Xutuo explained to Yuan Qing in a low voice, "Turkic cavalry generally only wear armor for the Khan's guards, and ordinary string control soldiers have no armor and can only wear leather armor. ”
He also pointed to a Turkic man in his thirties, "Do you see that person, that is the Turki Khan, the nephew of the Turkic Great Khan Sha Bolu, named Dyegan, and he is only one of the Turkic Khans." ”
Yuan Qing's eyesight was extremely keen, he saw the Turkic man in a big hat, seeing that he was in his early thirties, with a wide face and a big beard, and his face was full of joy, he couldn't help frowning, "How many Khans are there in the Turks?" ”
Zhang Xutuo sneered, "It's more!" After the death of the wooden pole Khan, Sha Bolu succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, but the western Datou Khan did not admit it, and the Turks were completely divided into the Eastern and Western Turks, and there were two Khans in the east, Dulan and this Turki, and the Western Turks actually had two, one was Datou, and the other defected to his Apo Khan, these Khans killed each other, and we Sui Dynasty fishermen profited, this Turki Khan was the weakest one, I heard that the Holy Lord was ready to marry Princess Anyi to him, or with the highest etiquette. ”
Yuan Qing pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Who is the Great Khan Du Lan or Tuli?" ”
Zhang Xutuo quickly glanced at Yuan Qing, he didn't believe that Yuan Qing could understand the mystery, so he said: "Du Lan is the son of the previous Great Khan Sha Bolu, and he inherited the position of the Great Khan. ”
"Then the Holy Admiral Princess Anyi married Tuli instead of the Great Khan, is it not clear that he is provoking the contradiction between the two eastern khans?"
The surrounding drinkers looked at Yuan Qing in surprise, this little boy could see it so thoroughly, Zhang Xutuo nodded approvingly, "You are very right, war will soon break out within the Turks." ”
He sighed slightly, with a look of regret in his eyes, "It seems that my Great Sui army is also about to march north." ”
...........
(Note: It should be July for the Turki Khan to enter Beijing to marry Princess Anyi, which is half a year ahead of schedule.) )
