Taizu's long fist is indeed simple, which can be seen from his series division, which belongs to the kind that can be understood as soon as you learn it.

Gongsun Du also thought so at first, but in the recent days of the Shoushan camp, he continued to practice Taizu Changquan every day, but found that it was not as simple as he imagined.

Practicing over and over again not only made Gongsun Du feel more and more comfortable, but also felt that this boxing technique was unfathomable, as if no matter how much he learned or practiced, he couldn't practice to the peak and perfection.

If you want to describe it in one word, Gongsun Du thinks there is only one, that is-

The road to simplicity!

This made Gongsun Du finally understand why the level of Taizu Changquan was higher than that of Liuhe Dao, which can be seen from this point.

Gongsun Du had no distractions, practicing Taizu's long fist one move at a time, but suddenly a personal soldier arrived and said-

"Lord, Cheng Pu bring!"

Gongsun Du's fist technique in his hand was not messed up at all, and he replied: "Well, bring it here!" ”

"Yes, my lord."

In fact, Cheng Pu was not far away, and he had already seen Gongsun Du moving there unhurriedly, and he didn't know what he was doing. However, although he looked very puzzled, when he came to the left, he still waited quietly and did not say anything.

It's a bit of a teenager and an old man!

Call~

Gently exhaling a white smoke, Gongsun Du slowly collected his work, took the dry cloth that had been prepared long ago from the side, wiped the sweat on his body, and then took a cloak that had also been prepared for a long time, before waving his hand at Cheng Pu and saying, "Come and walk together." ”

Cheng Pu didn't expect Gongsun Du to give people a feeling like a spring breeze, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then responded with a little emotion: "It's the lord." ”

Speaking of which, this is the first time Cheng Pu has really faced Gongsun Du, the last time he was in the Liao team, he saw it from a distance, and he couldn't see it really, let alone talk.

"What do you think of so-and-so's boxing?" Gongsun Du asked casually, wanting to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for conversation.

Cheng Pu felt very embarrassed and embarrassed, if he told the truth, he was worried that he would anger Gongsun Du, although it seemed that Gongsun Du was very talkative, but in the end, he was the lord of the two counties, and he had a momentum in it; But if he wants to tell a lie with a clear conscience, he can't say it.

After thinking about it, Cheng Pu still decided to tell the truth, he thought that if Gongsun Du blamed him for this, it would mean that the master-servant relationship between the two would end here. After all, a person who has no heart, even if he has some strength, it is difficult to go further in the end, and maybe he will fail next time.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates are ashamed! I didn't see that the lord was practicing boxing. ”

Forehead! Gongsun Du paused slightly, although he felt that his boxing skills were not very good, but when he thought that Cheng Pu was only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and his knowledge was not wide, he was relieved.

"Haha! It doesn't matter if you don't see it, after all, this kind of boxing has never appeared before. ”

Cheng Pu was taken aback, and couldn't help but think: Could this be the master's own boxing method? Hasn't the lord's martial arts reached an extremely high level?

It is wrong to say that it was created by Gongsun Du, but Taizu Changquan came from Zhao Kuangyin, and it was nearly a thousand years later, so it is reasonable to say that it was self-created.

"The lord is a great talent!" Cheng Pu praised sincerely.

Gongsun Du's family knew about his own family affairs, and waved his hand slightly, and did not put the credit on his head.

"It's been a good ride, isn't it?" Gongsun Du smiled lightly, and after asking, he explained again, "The time I received the news the night before yesterday was indeed a little late, so it was too late to send someone, so I had to wait until yesterday morning." ”

Cheng Pu didn't expect Gongsun Du to explain to him, and he was very moved: "The lord is serious, Zhao Quchang and they are coming very quickly, otherwise his subordinates would not be able to go to the Shoushan camp now." ”

Gongsun Du nodded when he heard this.

Cheng Pucai continued: "The journey was very smooth, but the road was difficult to walk due to the sudden heavy snowfall, and many people were infected with wind and cold. ”

"Are there a lot of people who get the cold?" Gongsun Du frowned and said.

Cheng Pu nodded and said: "A lot, because the snow came suddenly, and it was heavy, and it was still night, and there was not enough wood to keep warm, so many people were frozen." ”

"Is it serious?" Gongsun Du's face was a little solemn. Because if it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of timber in the camp that night, maybe it would have been like this, and many people were infected with the wind and cold. For the wind and cold, Gongsun Du is not very afraid, after all, this is not a serious illness, there are Hua Tuo's apprentices, this is a small problem, but if there are too many people, the medicinal materials may not be enough, then it may be a big problem, and it is likely to die.

"It's not serious, most of them have gotten better after taking the medicine. Now that I'm in Xiangping, I think it won't be long before I get better. ”

As soon as Gongsun Du heard this, he knew that Cheng Pu had already prepared, so he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Pu meaningfully, and then said: "Demou, it's okay to call you like this, right?" ”

Cheng Pu said respectfully: "The lord laughed, it is an honor for the lord to call his subordinates like this." ”

"It's an honor or something." Gongsun Du waved his hand, and then said, "I wonder how Demou is doing in the army these days?" ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he couldn't help but start thinking about it, thinking about whether Gongsun Du's words were telling him that he wanted to drive him out of the army.

Gongsun Du saw that Cheng Pu was a little stunned, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Conspiracy! ”

"Huh? Not much! Cheng Pu came back to his senses and said busily, "I was thinking about what the lord said......"

"Oh? Did you think it through? Gongsun Du didn't think much about it.

Cheng Pu pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Lord, my subordinates think it's very good." ”

Gongsun Du said pointedly: "Do you think you are suitable to be an infantry army or a cavalry army?" ”

Cheng Pu felt more and more that he hadn't thought about it before, Gongsun Du meant this, and his face couldn't help but darken. The current Cheng Pu is not the Cheng Pu of the future, he is young and does not know how to hide his emotions.

Gongsun Du didn't notice this scene, but paused and continued: "Throughout the ages, there is a saying that the south ships and the north horses, so the north is usually dominated by cavalry and infantry troops, and there are few sailors. But I think that the role of the navy is very great, even if it can't go to the battlefield, but it is still very good to use it as logistics support, transport materials, etc. ”

"Besides, I also want to see which of the northern naval forces is stronger and weaker than the southern naval forces!"

It is a fact that Cheng Pu is not very old, and he can't talk about being scheming, but he is a smart person in the end, and he suddenly heard the potential meaning of Gongsun Du's words, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and at the same time, he also felt that he had met a soulmate.

Speaking of which, the ancestor of his Cheng family was a southerner, and he was a rare general of the navy at that time, but after the country was destroyed by the first emperor, he didn't want to serve him, so he fled to the north incognito. After his death, he left behind some experience in commanding the army at that time, as well as some speculations about the navy.

For Cheng Pu, the experience of commanding troops is not particularly important, but it is those speculations that arouse his curiosity, not to mention, but also enrich his theoretical foundation.

If Xianbei hadn't gone south this time, he would have planned to go south after the crown salute to have a good understanding of the navy and the tactics of the navy.

Gongsun Du glanced at Cheng Pu slightly, and saw that there was a hint of joy on his face, and he was also happy in his heart, and quipped: "How is it, do you think it suits you very well?" ”

Cheng Pu's face turned red suddenly, and it was still the same sentence, whether he was a little younger. As soon as he was teased like this, he couldn't stand blushing.

Gongsun Du smiled mysteriously and said: "Demou, I don't know if you believe it, when I heard your name, I knew that I had the commander of the navy I wanted." ”

"How can his subordinates be so valued by the lord, and the only way to repay the lord's kindness is to die and repay the lord's kindness!" Cheng Putong knelt down with a puff and shouted.

Gongsun Du knew that he had really accepted Cheng Pu now, and at the same time, he was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, I met Cheng Pu very early, and I was glad that although I forgot such a person, I came out by myself, so that the navy could be established in advance, which can also be said to be lucky.

Helping Cheng Pu up, Gongsun Du patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Demou, can you see the new warship in the dock of the Liao Army?" It is hoped that in the future, there will be more and better warships galloping in the rivers and seas, and no one can beat them vertically. I don't know if you can have confidence? ”

"My subordinates will do their best to fulfill the trust of the lord!"

Seeing that Cheng Pu was about to kneel down again, Gongsun Du smiled helplessly in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hold it: "Don't be excited, tomorrow, tomorrow you can recruit the soldiers you want in Xiangping, or other cities under the jurisdiction of a certain jurisdiction, as for the original people, you can use them if you want, and if you don't want to use them, let them stay in the dock to help build warships." But—"

"I can only give you 2,000 people, that is, the establishment of a school, and I hope that the navy can be formed in three months, and it can be sent to the battlefield within half a year."

"This ......" Cheng Pu couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. Although he likes the navy very much, but in the end it is just a theory, and it will take a short time to get started, and it will take three months for the navy to take shape, which is too short! It is even more difficult to be able to go to the battlefield in half a year, not to mention where the enemy is, but to say that the training of the naval army is not comparable to the infantry army and the cavalry army, and the training time in the water is not on land, and the training time is much longer.

Battleship formations, turnarounds, etc., etc., all take a lot of time to do.

Besides, the rivers in the north are about to be frozen at the moment, and if you train, you can only train in the sea, which is even more difficult!

Cheng Pu has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Gongsun Du also knew that there was a big difference between the navy army and the infantry army and the cavalry army, but time was running out, what could he do, could he go and discuss with Xianbei and let them not go south next year?

Doesn't that!

"What? Flinching at this little difficulty? Gongsun Du had no choice but to agitate.

Cheng Pu was young and easily excited, so he immediately responded: "How is it possible! ”

"Lord, my subordinates promise to live up to the trust of my lord!"

Gongsun Duxi said: "Okay, that's good!" Believe in you. ”

Believe in you!

A thousand words can't match those words of trust. Cheng Pu was so moved that he decided to complete the master's trust even if it was difficult.

Gongsun Duxu felt that this was not authentic, and explained: "Demou, it's not someone who is forcing you, but the enemy is forcing us!" ”

Cheng Pu was puzzled, but looked at Gongsun Du suspiciously.

Gongsun Du ignored it, raised his head to the northwest, and seemed to murmur-

"Xianbei seems to be repulsed, but in fact the loss is not big. This is just their temptation, to test the reality of the big man, and after the ice and snow melt next year and the fat on the horse's body is raised, it may be the time for a thunderous blow. ”
