Yu Moyuan returned to the Thorn Mansion, Zhang Shiwu came over and said, "He is sick and in the bedroom." ”

Yu Moyuan walked into the bedroom and saw Yu Shengwei sitting motionless on the bed, his eyes glazed and thoughtful.

"Father, are you getting better?" Yu Moyuan asked.

Yu Shengwei stood up and said: "My father's illness is not a big deal, but how many soldiers have been withdrawn?" ”

"Less than 20,000."

Yu Shengwei listened, sat down on the ground, and Yu Moyuan stepped forward to help him up.

"Son, my father has never experienced such a fiasco. This time, it's all my fault for being stubborn, I didn't listen to the advice, and I killed 30,000 soldiers! ”

"Father, the child wants to invite Zuoqiu Hu to be the chief strategist of the Assassin's Mansion."

"Okay, Zuoqiu is a genius! Moyuan, go to him quickly and invite him back. ”

Yu Moyuan rode to Lumingpo and saw a thatched house in the bamboo forest next to him, he dismounted and walked over, and saw that the door was open.

Zuoqiu Hu was scalding wine in the thatched hut, and when he saw Yu Moyuan coming in, he asked, "Young Master Yu, did you win or lose this crusade against Lingji?" ”

"As Sir expected, defeated." Yu Mo returned far away.

Zuo Qiu Hu stood up and asked again, "Gongzi came this time, do you want to invite me to the Assassin Mansion as a strategist?" ”

Yu Moyuan arched his hand and said: "Exactly." I hope that Mr. will ignore his past suspicions and follow me to the Assassin Mansion and be my father's chief strategist. ”

"Ling Zun only remembered me when he was defeated, if he wins, he won't let you come to me. However, your personality is much stronger than Ling Zun, for your sake, I promised to go to the Assassin's Mansion. ”

"Great!" Yu Moyuan said happily.

Zuoqiu Hu poured two glasses of wine and said, "Come, Childe, let's drink two glasses and taste the wine I brewed myself." ”

Yu Moyuan picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "What a beautiful wine!" Sir, in your opinion, can we storm the capital and get rid of Ling? ”

"Not now, but in the future. There are three things that need to be done immediately. ”

"What three things?"

"First, recruit generals, in the past few months, the Ruizhou Army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and now it is a shortage of major generals, so it is necessary to recruit elite generals as soon as possible. Second, the training of soldiers, the Ruizhou army is not good at attacking cities, and it is not good at attacking in the field, which is a fatal weakness, and it is necessary to train diligently. Third, grain and grass are in reserve, grain and grass are insufficient, and the army's morale is unstable, so it is necessary to store more grain and grass on weekdays. If these three things are done well, the Ruizhou army can dominate the world and be invincible! ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, Mo Yuan has been taught."

Yu Moyuan returned to the Thorn History Mansion with Zuoqiu Hu, Yu Shengwei led everyone out and said, "Mr. Zuoqiu, I didn't know the virtuous before, and I offended a lot, so please forgive me." ”

Zuo Qiu Hu laughed and said, "I have forgotten everything before, so don't mention it again." ”

Yu Moyuan told Yu Shengwei the three things mentioned by Zuoqiu Hu, Yu Shengwei listened, nodded, and said: "Moyuan, you come to arrange the recruitment of generals, and I will let others do the other two things." ”

"Yes, father."

Zhongsun Xuewei led a servant girl to wander around the street, and saw the list text issued by the Assassin's Mansion posted on the wall.

"Miss, what's written on this list?" The maidservant asked.

Zhongsun Xuewei looked at it and said: "The Ruizhou Army is recruiting generals, and whoever wants to fight in the army should go to the school to sign up." Let's go to the school yard and have a look. ”

The maidservant looked embarrassed and said, "Miss, it's going to rain this day, let's go back early." ”

Zhongsun Xuewei looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were thick, and it was indeed about to rain.

"Let's buy two hats and put them on, and then we'll go to school." Zhongsun Xuewei said with a smile.

After a while, a light rain began to fall in the sky. At this moment, a young man walked into the school grounds, wearing a hat and a coat, and holding a spear in his right hand.

"Which one is the son of Yu Moyuan Yu?" The young man asked aloud.

Huangfu Sui walked over and said, "Who are you?" What's the matter with my big brother? ”

"My surname is Shangguan, and my single name is a dang character, I came today, there is nothing else, I just want to try my marksmanship with Yu Moyuan, and let him know that my marksmanship is better." As he spoke, the young man untied his robe.

"Shangguan Huang, you have a lot of temperament, if you want to test your marksmanship with my eldest brother, you have to pass me first." Huangfu Sui said.

Shangguan Huang sneered and said, "Nameless junior, you are not my opponent, let's let your eldest brother come." ”

Huangfu Sui was furious, pulled out his long knife suddenly, and said, "If you dare to underestimate grandpa, then let your grandpa teach you a lesson!" Come on, bring two war horses. ”

Huangfu Sui and Shangguan Huang each got on their horses and fought together. The two tried their best to defeat each other, and when the fight reached eighty rounds, Shangguan Huang stabbed Huangfu Sui's turban with a shot, picked off the turban, and the two stopped their horses.

Huangfu Sui gasped, he understood that the shot just now was deliberately stabbed by Shangguan Huang, otherwise, he would have been stabbed to death.

Shangguan Huang said: "You can survive to eighty rounds under my gun, you are a man." ”

"Shangguan Huang, your marksmanship is very good, my Huangfu Sui lost to you." Huangfu Sui felt ashamed, and his face turned red.

"Your knife skills are also good, but it's a pity that you met me. Go and call your eldest brother, I'm going to try it out against him." Shangguan Huang was full of arrogance.

Huangfu Sui was about to leave the school field when he saw Yu Moyuan coming over on horseback. He stepped forward and said, "Big brother, there is a person named Shangguan Huang from the school, and he wants to ask you to test your marksmanship." ”

"Second brother, you seem to be very lost, what's wrong?" Yu Moyuan asked.

"I saw that Shangguan Huang was too arrogant, so I wanted to try with him first and extinguish his prestige. I didn't expect that guy to be so good at marksmanship, and he beat me in 80 rounds. Huangfu Sui replied.

"Beat you?" Yu Moyuan was a little surprised, he knew that Huangfu Sui was extremely brave, he rarely met opponents in a single fight, and he could defeat Huangfu Sui, and he was definitely a master of making guns.

Yu Moyuan entered the school and said: "Shangguan Gongzi, I am Yu Moyuan, I heard that you are going to try your marksmanship with me." ”

Shangguan Huang looked at Yu Moyuan and said: "Yu Gongzi, some people say that you have a silver gun all over the eight counties of Ruizhou, and you are invincible in marksmanship, I don't believe it, I want to ask for advice." ”

"Okay, Shangguan Gongzi, please wear armor and helmets." Yu Mo said from afar.

"No need, your gun can't stab me."

The two of them put on a posture and prepared to compete.

Zhongsun Xuewei rushed to the outside of the school with her maidservant, and was about to enter the school field, but was stopped by the soldiers.

Zhongsun Xuewei said to the soldiers: "Aren't you recruiting generals? I want to go in and have a look. ”

"Yu Gongzi has an order, and idle people are not allowed to enter." The soldier said.

When the maidservant heard this, she got angry and said, "My young lady is not an idle person, he is your son Yu..."

Before the maid finished speaking, Zhongsun Xuewei covered her mouth.

Luan Yimian walked over and asked the soldier, "What's the matter?" ”

Before the soldier could answer, Zhongsun Xuewei said, "I want to go into the school field to find Yu Gongzi." ”

"Girl, you are the young lady of Zhongsun Xuewei in Zhongsun Mansion, right?" Luan Yimian asked.

Zhongsun Xuewei nodded.

Luan Yimian smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you in." ”

Yu Moyuan fought with Shangguan Huang for twenty rounds, Shangguan Huang grabbed the reins and said, "Young Master Yu, just now your marksmanship moves only defended and did not attack, did you look down on me Shangguan Huang?" ”

"Shangguan Gongzi, you misunderstood, to compete with a master like you, I have to understand your marksmanship before I can make a move." Yu Mo said from afar.

The two began to compete again, and after more than 100 rounds of fierce fighting, they still did not win or lose, and the soldiers on the side were stunned.

Shangguan Huang saw that he couldn't win, so he shook a shot, deceived and left, and Yu Moyuan chased after him. Shangguan Huang saw that Yu Moyuan was chasing closer, so he turned around and stabbed a shot, Yu Moyuan had already taken precautions, rose from the horse, and dodged this shot. As soon as Yu Moyuan landed on the horse's back, Shangguan Huang shot again, this shot pierced the helmet on Yu Moyuan's helmet, and almost at the same time, Yu Moyuan also shot back, picking off Shangguan Huang's hat.

The two of them each stopped their horses and smiled at each other, knowing that the other party had shown mercy to his subordinates just now.

"Young Master Yu, your marksmanship is really good, and the two of us have a tie." Shangguan Huang said as he got off the horse.

Yu Moyuan turned over and dismounted, and said: "Shangguan Gongzi's exquisite marksmanship has opened my eyes. I wonder what Childe's plans are for the future? ”

Shangguan Huang looked around and asked, "Young Master Yu, do you want me to stay under your account as a general?" ”

"With this intention, we are recruiting generals, you are strong in martial arts, you should be a general in the army, and make a contribution!"

Shangguan Huang looked at the spear in his hand and said, "Since Gongzi wants me to stay, then I have no choice but to agree." From now on, I am willing to listen to the orders of my son and let me be driven. ”

"It's great that you're here! Shangguan Gongzi, I invite you to go to Shengming Tower to drink, the wine there is extremely delicious, and the altar is full of fine wine. Yu Mo said from afar.

When Yu Moyuan took Shangguan Huang out of the school field, he saw Zhongsun Xuewei and walked over.

"Xue Wei, what are you doing on campus?" Yu Moyuan asked.

Zhongsun Xuewei said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just miss you, come and see, you haven't been to Zhongsun Mansion to find me for a long time." ”

Shangguan Huang asked Yu Moyuan: "Who is this young lady?" ”

"Her name is Zhongsun Xuewei, and she is my unmarried wife."

"Miss Zhongsun has such beauty, she should marry a hero like Yu Gongzi. Yu Gongzi, I think you can't get out of it today, let's drink this wine another day. Shangguan Huang said.

Huangfu Sui said: "Shangguan Huang, my eldest brother can't accompany you to drink, I will accompany you, in terms of martial arts, I am not as good as you, compared to the amount of alcohol, you are definitely not my opponent." ”

Shangguan Huang laughed and said, "Okay, then the two of us will go to drink and rest when we get drunk." After speaking, the two of them went to Shengming Tower.

Zhongsun Xuewei said to the maidservant: "You go back to the house first, tell my father, just say that I am walking a horse with Yu Gongzi, and let him not worry about me." ”
