Chapter 84

"This competition is very bad for the girl. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Seeing that Xu Pan only used one hand, he easily stopped and unloaded all of Xu Hui's attacks, Lin Xin couldn't help sighing, shaking his head and commenting, "Her strength is far inferior to Xu Duwei, and because of her weapons, she has to fight with Du Wei in close combat." If you find an opportunity, you might be able to hurt the lieutenant a few points, but the blade is wrapped up again......"

The people present, except for Lin Xin, an old god stick, who could not see the practitioner of this martial arts competition? Lin Xin said a few words at the beginning, but it was quite pertinent, but the "solution" proposed next was full of loopholes and ridiculous. In the end, Li Zhun, who cared about his old friend's face, rarely opened his mouth and said: "But in a competition, what does it matter if you win or lose?" ”

Lin Xin was choked by this sentence, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he lost the interest to talk about it again.

At the same time, the competition in the martial arts arena also came to an end.

Seeing that Xu Hui was sweating profusely, his steps were a little weak and vain, but he still attacked him relentlessly, Xu Pan took the lead in calling a halt, and asked Xu Hui again: "The one who taught you martial arts is still that Aunt Zhao?" ”

Xu Hui nodded and asked rhetorically, "Third Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"In this matter, my father thinks about it." Xu Pan frowned, and said quite worriedly, "You are not the material to charge into battle, you should put your talents on the top of strategizing, if the two armies are fighting, what you should do is not to kill the enemy bravely, but to protect yourself with all your might." After all, among the armies, personal bravery can boost morale for a while, and the existence of the main general is the foundation for the army not to collapse. In order to survive, that Aunt Zhao was forced to pick up a knife and confront the Hu people, naturally she was full of pride and indomitable, she could only be a pawn, not a handsome. A wild person like her, who is a halfway monk, has figured out most of the tricks of making knives with more offense and less defense, which is completely wrong with the path you should take. ”

Hearing Xu Pan suggest that she attack less and defend more, or even give up attacking completely and only defend, Xu Hui couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart, so she hugged her willow leaf double knife, lowered her head, and didn't speak.

Xu Pan smiled when he saw this, thinking that his niece was still the same as when she was a child, when she got along with her family, she was happy or unhappy, which was completely different from in front of outsiders.

Thinking of this, he also felt that his words were a little heavier, no matter how smart Xu Huizong was, he was still young in the end, and it was really not good to deny the other party's efforts all the time in a few words. So Xu Pan coughed a few times embarrassedly, and he didn't think of any good words, so he had to say dryly: "Hui'er, the third uncle doesn't look down on you, it's just that the strength of this man and woman, just like you and my heads, has been too much worse since birth." We have to be self-aware, and we can't attack the strengths of others with our own shortcomings, right? ”

"The third uncle is reasonable, and Hui'er will definitely do it in the future." Seeing that Xu Pan deliberately belittled himself in order to comfort her, Xu Hui's heart warmed and he bowed his head gently. Xu Pan smiled at this time, thought about it and comforted this niece: "I know what you think in your heart, if the Lord General is only protected by his own soldiers and dead soldiers, and does not do anything, it is indeed unreasonable." I heard that your archery skills are exquisite, and my father specially asked someone to build a special crossbow for you, and the third uncle taught you a lazy idea. ”

Speaking of this, he approached Xu Hui and whispered in his ear: "The two armies are fighting, shouting before the battle and even the generals are the norm. When the other party sees that you are a woman, he will definitely use foul language to humiliate you. As for you, you will practice your archery skills more accurately, and when the time comes, whoever dares to say anything disrespectful to you, you will give them a hard blow with the advantage of crossbow arrows! If you can shoot off their crowns or flags, or directly shoot the opponent to death with an arrow, will the morale of the opponent drop? ”

Xu Hui's qualifications and talents in the double knife can only be regarded as ordinary, and compared to her archery skills, it is indeed a lot worse. If it weren't for the fear that the two armies would fight, it would definitely turn into a hand-to-hand handover, and she would not have been more powerful than a crossbow arrow. As soon as she heard Xu Pan say this, she was quite moved, and asked with some uncertainty: "This method ...... Okay? The two armies are fighting, the generals are single-handed, I don't go out, just stand in the rear with crossbow arrows? This ......"

"Yes, absolutely!" Xu Pan has the best of these in his life, which has reached the level of almost fanaticism, and in this regard, he has a lot of "crooked ideas". So Xu Pan didn't think about it, so he gently patted Xu Hui's head, and said hatefully, "Stupid girl, who let you stand in the back?" If the other party repeatedly calls for battle and forces you to go out, you can ride out generously and give him an arrow. However, this method is most suitable for the Shanghu people and the Han people...... It's better not to take the risk. ”

Hu people? Why?

After only a moment of confusion and incomprehension, Xu Hui immediately figured out the key to this.

The Hu people are not good at smelting iron, even if the Qiang people seized Wuwei County, the former county guard Sun Fujun killed all the craftsmen before the martyrdom, which made them choke for a while.

Artisans belong to an important strategic resource, whether it is a homeless or a regular army, the first thing to grab, one is food, the other is the craftsman, this situation is especially obvious in the north. In the Northland, the craftsmen had separate accommodation quarters, and some even lived directly in the family's manor, which was strictly controlled, as was the case with the vast majority of the craftsmen of the Shangdang Xu clan. In this case, even if the Buddhists are full of hands and eyes, it is a very difficult thing to coerce the craftsmen who are valued by the family to work for the Hu people. This means that the vast majority of Hu people do not have even a single piece of iron on their bodies. Even most of their arrows are sharpened from wood and finely ground with animal bones.

Compared with the Hu generals who were dressed in thin clothes, had little protection, and even showed their breasts, compared with the Han generals who all carried a heart guard and most of them were equipped with light armor, it is self-evident who the crossbow arrows are more powerful for. Besides, in the face of national righteousness and their own survival, the contradictions caused by the difference between men and women will naturally be much smaller.

Seeing that Xu Hui's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Xu Pan knew that she had understood, so he said proudly: "How is it?" Is this idea good for the third uncle? ”

Xu Hui nodded convincingly and praised: "It's really wonderful." ”

Listening to Xu Hui, who has always been praised by Xu Ze, praise himself, Xu Pan, who has always been scolded by his own father, was so happy that his tail was about to, so when he left the martial arts arena and saw Ah Yuan, he was in a very good mood and asked unprecedentedly: "How are those minions handled?" ”

Xu Pan has always had a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and the people in the Qingzhou caravan offended him, so he directly used his identity as a contemporary to say that if it wasn't for Ah Yuan who happened to do this, he would be confused if he asked him coldly.

As Xu Hui's dead soldier, Ah Yuan has only one Xu Hui in his heart, even if it is Xu Hui's own uncle Xu Pan, she will not obey. So she deliberately delayed the time, and as soon as she said the words "back to the capital", Xu Hui also walked over slowly, and gave A-Yuan a "continue" look without a trace.

After receiving Xu Hui's signal, Ah Yuan said respectfully: "The slave maid gave some suggestions to the head of Xu Yuanjun's family according to the girl's instructions, and after getting Xu Yuanjun's permission, Steward Zhang summoned all the officials, and took advantage of the fact that those people could not kneel down to 'pretend to be a family caravan', and temporarily put them in prison without paying the ransom. ”

"Pretending to be a Maison caravan?" Xu Pan was surprised and said, "Aren't they just ......?"

When Xu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle: "Third Uncle thinks that in the eyes of the people, what should the family look like?" ”

Xu Pan thought about it seriously before he said: "Wide robe and big sleeves, extraordinary demeanor, hugging before and after traveling, chin must be raised high, do not be in the company of non-class......"

He said seventeen or eighteen in one breath, Xu Hui looked at him with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Then the third uncle thinks that the caravan that knelt in front of the county government and sprinkled it, which one did it do?" ”

After that, before Xu Pan could say anything, Xu Hui said unhurriedly: "Don't say that they haven't done any of them, even if their appearance is all in line with the image of the family members in the hearts of the people, so what?" This is the kettle pass, it is the kettle pass that our Shangdang Xu clan guards like an iron bucket, here, what we say, that is, what can really become fake, and what is fake can also become true. Not to mention a mere caravan steward, even if the lord of his Fan family comes, if I want to, I can keep him all the time. The so-called excuses and reasons are all used to prevaricate the ignorant people, save the rumors and rumors that sweep the county, and make the people panic, you say, don't you? ”

When she said these words, the smile on her face did not decrease by half at all, and she was beautiful, but the cold meaning in her soft tone made this originally swaggering and flamboyant words that were easy to make people feel bad about them, and they forcibly revealed a bit of the killing spirit of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

At this moment, Xu Pan suddenly understood why his father was trying to discourage public opinion and give Xu Hui different treatment.

It is true that the Xu family members of the Shangdang are thin, but they are not without talent - the late Xu Rong and Xu Heng, the future heir of the Xu family, are skilled in power and strategy; Although Xu Yun'er has soft roots, he is quite good at internal affairs; Xu Pan has a reputation for being reckless, but he is a fierce general; Even Xu Ze's sons, Xu Cun and Xu Yong, who were included in the family tree, also knew how to govern the people's livelihood and arbitrarily broke prison lawsuits; Not to mention Xu Li and other clansmen who are farther away in blood but have good talents. But like Xu Ze, there is only one Xu Hui who is good at everything. Even if Xu Hui is the most like Xu Ze in the entire Shangdang Xu clan, there is no exaggeration.

If Hui'er is a boy...... Xu Pan thought about it with regret, but immediately dispelled this idea, glad that Xu Hui was a girl who could act as a bridge between them, adjusting and combing, but there was no possibility of inheriting the family business. Otherwise, she will either be suppressed or ...... That's not good! (To be continued.) )
