Yu Wenming was actually very frustrated in his heart, he wanted to do his best to use the most exquisite trick taught by Li Jing, and win with strange knife techniques, but he didn't expect Yuwen Chengdu to strike later, and the gold boring came first from an unexpected angle.

Although he almost hit the other party, Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix winged flowing gold boring cut off his follow-up attack just right, making his later move impossible to use at all.

He also realized that the biggest flaw in the Heavenly Sword Technique was that the interval between each move was too long and not coherent enough. In this way, if there is a slight mistake in the coordination between the previous move and the next move, it is easy to expose flaws.

If it's an ordinary master, you may not be able to find it. But a top master like Yuwen Chengdu can definitely see his flaws.

Just now, Yuwen Chengdu fought hard with him with super arm strength, so that he had to fight blindly, and in this way, with a slight hesitation in his heart, there was a slight lag in the connection between the two knives, and this opportunity was seized by Yuwen Chengdu, who had been waiting for a flaw.

Yu Wencheng smiled slightly at this time, patted Yu Wenming's shoulder and said: "Second brother, you don't have to be frustrated, although you were defeated just now, this is not because your sword skills are not perfect, but because your strength is not as strong as mine and your combat experience is insufficient." If in another five or six years, when you grow up, I may not be your opponent. ”

After Yu Wenming heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face and said: "I have been practicing swordsmanship for almost two years, but unfortunately I always practice more alone and less in actual combat." Occasionally fighting with others, he is also a gangster whose martial arts are not as good as mine. So I can't detect the fatal flaws in my sword technique at all, alas! It seems that I still have to talk to Master and ask how I can make up for the flaws! ”

"Ming'er, you're wrong! I've also heard of the sword technique this day, but in fact, this flaw doesn't exist at all! At this time, Yu Wenshu heard that Yu Wenming seemed to have lost confidence, and hurriedly walked over to persuade him: "The Heavenly Sword Knife Technique that Li Jing taught you was originally his specialty, and it is one of the sword techniques that can definitely rank close to the top three today. Although no martial arts move is perfect, the flaw you just made can actually be completely avoided! ”

"Oh? It's true? Then grandpa, you teach me! How to avoid flaws? Yu Wenming's original look of frustration was revealed.

Yu Wenshu smiled slightly at this time: "If it were your master Li Jinglai who fought with Chengdu, he would not have the flaw just now." Because he surpasses you too much in terms of strength, speed, and combat experience. You can't say that there is anything wrong with what you just said. For the average martial arts player, he will parry your sword, so that you have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to make the next one. But for a truly experienced martial arts master, such as your eldest brother, he will avoid the real and be ready to attack, and wait for you to reveal your flaws before making a preemptive attack. ”

"You were just worried that your strength was inferior to that of others, and the black steel knife and your eldest brother's phoenix wing flow gold boring collided and was knocked away. That's why I've been worried, which leads to a little shrunken when you swing the knife, and you don't have that kind of courageous momentum. When you have more experience in the future, the realm of sword art will be raised. After some more actual combat, your flaws will become less and less, which is also the characteristic of the world-famous Heavenly Sword Technique. Yu Wenshu patiently explained.

Yu Wenming nodded gratefully, this is Grandpa's golden words. Although Yu Wenshu has not taught himself martial arts, his vision is quite unique.

At this moment, Yu Wenshu said again: "Ming'er, in fact, you don't have to worry. Li Jing's best skill is not knife skills, but marksmanship. He was very good at using the lance. And the horse lance is actually a kind of gun weapon. I think your master will start teaching you marksmanship right away. In Grandpa's opinion, you may be better suited to practice guns. ”

"Oh? Why? When Yu Wenming heard this, he was shocked.

Yuwen Shu Zhengse said: "Because I found that your arm strength is not too strong." If you want to fight hard with others, you may suffer more. And I think what you're best at is catching your opponent's weaknesses. Just now, I noticed some lameness in the left front leg of your eldest brother's war horse, so I attacked it first......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "But the knife is not only a melee weapon, but also a power-type weapon, and it is slower to swing, because it has a process of swinging and chopping, when you find the opponent's weakness and start swinging the knife and slashing, the enemy's weakness may have been fleeting." Especially when you're going to be fighting on horseback in the future. In this case, it is best to use a spear, because the lance, spear, and iron spear are the fastest and long-range horse weapons. It doesn't need to be slashed like a knife, and it can be stabbed at the opponent by borrowing the impact of the horse directly in the running of the warhorse, which can greatly enhance the strength of your stab and make up for the weakness of your lack of arm strength. In my opinion, gun training is more suitable for you. ”

Yu Wenming nodded, and he realized that his grandfather was not a simple person.

However, this is also reasonable, Yuwenshu participated in the battle of Sui to destroy Chen, and later the battle of attacking the Turks in the north, Goryeo in the east, and Tuyuhun in the west. was named Xu Guogong because of his military exploits, General Zuo Lingwei, how could he be a low-minded and short-sighted person in martial arts?

In contrast, his father's Yu culture and, in terms of talent and courage, are a big step behind Yu Wen. But fortunately, he is good at the Korean and Chinese franchises, and he can sneak around and shoot horses, so Yang Guang also admires him very much. Even a few years ago, when he and his third uncle Yu Wenzhi smuggled iron weapons to the Turks, he did not lose his official position, but was only fined for one year.

While thinking about it, Yuwen Shu slowly walked between him and Yuwen Chengdu, held their hands, and said cordially: "Chengdu, Ming'er, I know that you all want to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions now, and it is estimated that there will be a chance in a short time!" ”

"Opportunity? What kind of chance? When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"The Holy Lord has asked me and Yu Shiji to go to Hebei, Shandong, and Hedong to supervise military affairs and take stock of the official grain. If it is not bad as expected, the Holy One is going to use troops against Goryeo! You should practice martial arts well and strive to make great achievements in the future! Yu Wenshu said with a smile. Obviously didn't care, because in his opinion, even the much more powerful Tuyuhun and the Sui army could fight down, what is just Goryeo?

However, Yu Wenming, who is familiar with history, knows that Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo were all defeated, which caused chaos in the world.

Although Yang Guang has not yet announced the conquest of Goryeo, he has already begun to make preparations. I have to step up my cultivation. As soon as the troubled times come, I will inevitably be much busier, and if I want to practice and live as leisurely as I am now, I am afraid that there will not be much time.

"Okay! Grandpa, I'll go and ask Master for advice tomorrow to learn marksmanship! Yu Wenming replied.

……

Time flies, and a year flies. In the history of the Great Sui, the crucial year - the seventh year of the Great Cause has finally arrived.

In February of this year, Yang Guang convened a court meeting and announced that he would attack Goryeo with all his troops this year. He wants to solve this big problem once and for all.

Although the old minister Su Wei and the criminal department Shangshu Fan Zigai and others strongly opposed it, they failed to shake Yang Guang's mind. Instead, it made him furious. Su Wei was demoted from Shangshu's left servant to the subordinate province on the spot, although the official rank has not changed, it is still from the second rank, but it is an idle position.

And Fan Zigai was even demoted to the remote Qianzhong County Taishou, which was equivalent to exile.

After these two ministers were demoted, no one in the court dared to oppose the expedition.

Yang Guang immediately issued an edict to prepare for war, ordering the counties and counties in Longxi, Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei and other places to buy military horses, and then buy pastures in Youzhou to raise horses for the army, so that the price of war horses skyrocketed overnight, and a good horse even reached more than 100 times, making the northern counties miserable.

Immediately, Yang Guang ordered the construction of a large granary that could accommodate millions of stone of grain in Shahe Town in Beiping County and Renhuai Town in Zhuo County. Then he issued an edict to levy 800,000 people in more than 10 counties, including Qi County, Nanpi County, Pingyuan County, Qinghe County, Jining County, Beihai County, Dong County, and Liang County, and let them bring their own ox carts and dry grain, and transport all the grain from the official warehouses of the above counties to the front line in Liaodong, and be escorted by the Taishou.

When the decree was issued to the above-mentioned Hebei counties, the people's resentment immediately boiled.

At this time, Qi County, Jining County, and Beihai County were facing a serious flood of the Yellow River, and the floods were serious, and many fields could not be sown at all.

In Nanpi County, Pingyuan County, Jinyang County and other places north of the Yellow River, there is a serious spring drought, resulting in almost no harvest of autumn grain in the above-mentioned counties. Hungry people are everywhere in Hebei and Shandong.

And just when it was necessary to fight disasters and save oneself and open a warehouse to help the people, the edict of the imperial court arrived. Farmers who were supposed to fight floods and droughts were requisitioned to deliver grain.

This was to make the disaster worse, and the Taishou of the counties did not dare to disobey Yang Guang's holy decree, so they forcibly conscripted people with cattle and strong labor at home as people's husbands, and requisitioned more than 100,000 ox carts. If there are not enough ox carts, donkey carts, mule carts or rickshaws are used to make up the numbers.

Each cart was loaded with four stone of official rice, and the people were asked to escort one for every two people, and they were ordered to bring their own dry food to transport millions of stone of official grain to the front line in eastern Liaodong.

On the official road from Hedong to Hebei, from Shandong to Youzhou, the grain transporters are lined up as elders, and there is an endless stream. The road is rugged and long, and it is even more distant to Liaodong.

The corpses of dead men and livestock can be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road. Since all horses had to be kept for cavalry battles, they could not transport grain. Therefore, the vehicle can only be pulled by other livestock.

Oxen, donkeys, and mules travel slowly, and it takes at least three months to go to Liaodong. However, most of the dry food carried by the people can only last less than a month, which is not enough at all.

In desperation, the people could only steal official food. Although the escort soldiers tried their best to stop it, so many people, where can they see it. Before they reached Liaodong, nearly half of the official grain had been eaten.

Seeing that the task of transporting grain could not be completed, he would be questioned again when he returned to his hometown. So most of the people and a small number of soldiers simply divided the remaining official rations privately, and then fled elsewhere and became thieves.

Compared with the fugitive civilians and escort soldiers, the greater crisis arose in the counties and counties where the grain was transported, because the official food was requisitioned into military rations and sent to the front. The county officials did not dare to open warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the victims. In fact, in the later stage, even if they want to open a warehouse for disaster relief, they have no food to put away.

As a result, millions of hungry people in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei ran out of food in their homes, and many of them could only feed on bark and grass roots. Those who are honest can only starve to death, but instead plunder the rich and rob the grain, and may survive.

Therefore, bandits were rampant in the above-mentioned places, and no one in the family who had wealth dared to go out of the city during the day. The heavens are angry and the people are extremely resentful, and the contradictions between the government and the people have reached a time when they are on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Wang Bo, a native of Zouping in Qi County, together with Meng Rang, a hungry person in the same county, gathered fugitives and hungry people in Changbai Mountain between Zouping and Zhangqiu, and raised the banner of open anti-Sui. Call on the peasants to resist on the spot and fight for their lives, and not go to Liaodong to die.

Wang Bo's rebel army quickly grew to tens of thousands, and was later surrounded and suppressed by the government's heavy troops, and moved from Changbai Mountain to Luzhong Mountain. He was defeated by the famous general Li Jing of the Sui Dynasty one after another when he plundered Lu County, so he hid in the mountains and temporarily avoided the edge.

Under the influence of Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, a native of Weicheng in Dongjun, also rebelled with fellow villagers Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others, occupying Wagang Mountain at the junction of Xingyang and Liang County, calling himself the owner of Wagang Village, which grew to more than 10,000 people. and defeated the encirclement and suppression of the Sui army many times, and the prestige was great.

Of course, that's all for later. In the eastern capital of Luoyang, neither Yang Guang nor the ministers of the court and the central government realized that the expedition to Goryeo would bring such serious consequences. It's still a bright day, singing and dancing......
