Chapter 159: Deng Shizai
Although Deng Fan won Guan Xing, he was not complacent, and he returned to the battle. After a while, Wang Shuang and Xu Gai came out one after another, and with the sound of the gong, the two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, and Wang Shuang finally overwhelmed Xu Gai and defeated Xu Gai. It was already dusk, and the fight was over for the time being. Wen Han ordered all the ministers and a group of contestants to drink and feast in the palace. And they did as they were told.
The night passed, and it was noon on the second day. Under the stage of the Chang'an school field, the third round of competition is about to begin. The drums beat loudly, the trumpets sounded in unison, and the music competed. Wen Han and a group of Western Tang Wenwu sat down on the platform. Wang Shuang Pegasus, dressed in a red robe, came out of the camp on the right, and Deng Fan, who was dressed in a black robe, came out of the camp on the left. The soldiers lined up to greet each other. The two rode to the point of the general and bowed. Wen Han smiled and praised the two of them. Immediately, with Wen Han's order, the two of them reined in and saluted each other. Wang Shuang grinned, and his fighting spirit was fierce.
"Hahaha!! Brother Deng, in this competition, my prince is bound to win. If it hurts, I hope Brother Deng doesn't mind! ”
Deng Fan listened, and said with a smile on his calm face.
"Sub.. Whole... Treat you... Won me... No matter how big it is... The word is... Not too late! ”
Deng Fan's mouth was open, and when the officials on the stage saw that he was stuttering, many people couldn't help laughing. Deng Fan ignored the sneering voices, his mind was highly concentrated, and his eyes looked at Wang Shuang tightly. Wang Shuang is also the spirit of shaking numbers. At this time, when Wen Han on the stage heard Deng Fan's words, his face was shocked, as if he had suddenly woken up, his mind was racing, and he secretly said in his heart.
"This Deng Shi is not only good at martial arts, but also thoughtful, quite handsome, if cultivated, he will become a great weapon in the future. There is no way that such a person has not been recorded in history. And this person's surname is Deng, and he stutters. Could it be that he is Deng Ai, Deng Shizaiye!? ”
Just as Wen Han was thinking about it. As soon as the gong sounds, the final round of fighting will begin. Wang Shuang shouted, like a tiger roaring, the horse flew away, and rushed towards Deng Fan. Deng Fan didn't dare to slack off, and he also rushed away. The two horses intersected, and Wang Shuang danced a big knife and slashed at Deng Fan. Deng Fan dodged in a hurry, and a shot flew suddenly. Wang Shuang raised his knife to block, and there was a violent 'bang', and the two weapons suddenly swung away. Wang Shuang was the first to grab back the big knife and slash at Deng Fan. Deng Fan raised the gun and blocked. The shadow of the knife and gun is so fast that it is difficult to catch. The two of them killed dozens of rounds in an instant. The more Wang Shuang fought, the more powerful he became, and the knife cut faster and faster. Seeing that Deng Fan was crushed by Wang Shuang's death, everyone saw it and exclaimed continuously.
Suddenly, Deng Fan flashed, and Wang Shuang slashed into the air. Deng Fan saw that there was a gap, and immediately raised his gun and stabbed it. Unexpectedly, Wang Shuang suddenly showed a bright smile. It turned out that this flaw was deliberately exposed by Wang Shuang. Wang Shuang suddenly stabbed the gun, and then stabbed Deng Fan in the chest. Deng Fan's face was shocked, and he hurriedly dodged, Wang Shuang's knife killed extremely quickly. Seeing that Wang Shuang's big knife almost stabbed Deng Fan's lower armpit. Deng Fan hurriedly swept away, swept away, and retreated. Wang Shuang didn't chase either, and the round of onslaught just now caused him to lose his strength. The two opened their mouths to gasp and looked at each other. The generals on the stage looked at each other, and even Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, the three dragon generals, also looked a little heavy.
Suddenly, the two drank in unison, and suddenly the horses fought again. Wang Shuangdao is fast, and Deng Fan's gun is fast and tricky. The two of them killed each other equally, saying that it was too late and that time was fast, and it was dozens of rounds later. Both of them were tired, and after another round of attack, Zizilema retreated. Deng Fan's sword eyes were sharp, his momentum was rising, and there was a faint shadow of a giant god with three heads and six arms behind him. Wang Shuangbao's eyes widened, his momentum burst out, and there seemed to be a shadow of three red tigers behind him.
At the same time, on the general's platform, the faces of all the generals changed greatly. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others were also moved. The momentum gathered, Deng Fan and Wang Shuang roared loudly, galloped and collided. Wang Shuang exerted all his strength and slashed with a knife. Deng Fan also forced out all his strength and swiped the gun. Between the lightning and flint, the two weapons collided impressively, setting off gusts of wind and dust. The two fought bravely in the wind and dust, and the sound of swords and guns colliding was endless. Many people on the stage stood and watched. I saw Deng Fan dodging Wang Shuang's knife, and a shot quickly connected the point, Wang Shuang hurriedly withdrew his knife to resist, and he was very embarrassed. However, Deng Fan's gun style was too fast, and a shot slammed into Wang Shuang's breastplate, Wang Shuang ate and drank angrily, like an angry tiger, abandoned the big knife in his hand, and grabbed Deng Fan's gun with one hand. The two fought right away, and Wang Shuangli was so strong that he broke the gun with a violent bang. The two of them took half a stanza and beat them on their horses. Both of them did not want to lose, and fought bloody, as if they were resting until death.
Wen Shun was afraid that both of them would be injured, so he hurriedly attended and said to Wen Han.
"Father, the two strong men are equally divided, and they are strong men of blood, the so-called two tigers will fight each other, and one will be injured. If the two continue to fight, no matter who is injured, it will also be a loss to our Xitang. Why didn't my father order a truce between the two, and as for the victory, it would be a draw. ”
When Wen Han heard this, he also felt reasonable, and quickly ordered Xu Shu to announce it. When Xu Shu heard this, he ordered the soldiers to ring the gong and shouted loudly to stop the battle. At this point, Wang Shuang and Deng Fan stopped one after another. The two of them were brave and brave, and they both won the unanimous appreciation of the officials of the Western Tang Dynasty, and they clapped and applauded. Wen Han immediately got up and walked to the front of the stage, Wang Shuang and Deng Fan hurriedly dismounted, knelt down and bowed. Wen Han laughed three times in a row, praised Wang Shuang and Deng Fan, and then named Wang Shuang as the captain of Huwei and Deng Fan as the captain of Yiwu. As for Guan Xing, Xu Gai and others, they are all rewarded according to their rankings. Then, Wen Han suddenly called Wen Shun's name, Wen Shun's face froze, and he hurriedly attended and worshipped. Wen Han looked at Wen Shun and said in a condensed voice.
"Shizi Wen Zixi, conquered Shuofang, helped the state pastor Gao Boyi to quell the Qianghu rebellion, bravely crowned the three armies, and made great contributions. Alone you are named the captain of the brave crown. ”
Wen Shun listened, his heart was overjoyed, and he thanked him in a condensed voice.
"Thank you for your father's blessing!!"
After the reward was decided, Wen Han set up a banquet in the palace as a reward, and all the officials were happy. The cold winter is gone, and the early spring is not long in coming. A few days later, Wen Han summoned Wang Shuang and Deng Fan to the palace to see him. After a while, the two entered the temple and finished worshipping. Wen Han smiled lovely, and first asked Deng Fan about his history, and Deng Fan told them one by one. Wen Han knew that Deng Fan was only eighteen years old, and Deng Fan also mentioned his name change. Wen Han listened, smiled brightly, and said to Deng Fan.
"Taiqiu Chang Chen Yu is indeed a masterpiece of a generation. But looking at you alone, Deng Shize, a heroic young man, meticulous and careful, and outstanding martial arts, will be a dragon among people in the future, if you sharpen it, you will only be better than Chen Yu. Moreover, you are a descendant, so you should take the essence of the former, improve its body, and surpass it. Why change the name and change the word with it? ”
When Deng Fan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was so appreciated by the dignified Tang King, Deng Fan was full of joy and knelt down and bowed.
"A certain Ho De... How can he, fortunately... The king is like... This appreciation, may the liver and gallbladder ... Paint the floor to... Repay it! ”
Wen Han heard that Deng Fan's stuttering was very serious, thought about it for a while, and suddenly said.
"There is a wonderful way to solve this stuttering disease. After three days, the orphan will order two iron beads to be given to you, and you will not spit them out except when you eat and sleep. After a month, your stuttering will be cured. ”
When Deng Fan heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't hold it for a while, and he was very excited. He has been ridiculed by his clan for stuttering since he was a child, which has caused him to be silent. Now that Wen Han has a wonderful way to cure his stuttering, Deng Fan's heart is excited, which can be described as indescribable. Deng Fan knelt down and bowed, and even claimed to be thankful. Wen Han laughed and told Deng Fan to get up quickly. Deng Fan Fangqi said, there was a curtain of excitement in his eyes.
Wen Han immediately asked Wang Shuang again, and Wang Shuang's eyes were also a little excited, and he told them one by one. When Wen Han heard that Wang Shuang was actually the son of Wang Da Niu, his face couldn't help but be a little surprised. Wang Daniu's restaurant in Anyi also has a bit of a reputation, he is honest and helpful, and everyone in Anyi is well-known. Wen Han once drank wine at his restaurant, and Wang Daniu was very enthusiastic about him at that time, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he thanked him and knelt down. It made him very embarrassed at the time. Later, Wen Han learned about Wang Daniu's family. Wen Han saw that this honest man was still a grateful person. Therefore, I also have a little impression of Wang Daniu. But Wen Han never expected that Wang Da Niu would be the father of Wang Shuang. After Wen Han finished thinking about it, he sighed, the world was unpredictable, and then asked Wang Shuangxiao again.
"Huh. It turned out to be the son of an old man. I wonder how the bull is doing lately? ”
"Fortunately, the king is blessed. My father was in excellent health, and he originally wanted to follow the king and move the restaurant to Chang'an, but my mother has been unwell in recent years, so she has been delayed. Today, I am specially ordered by my father to come to participate in the martial arts training conference, hoping to obtain a position in the first army and repay the king's kindness. ”
Wang Shuang knelt down and said, there was no hypocrisy in his eyes. Wen Han listened and laughed. He also asked Wang Shuang to come to Chang'an with his parents. Immediately, he would instruct the imperial physician Hua Tuo to treat his mother. Wang Shuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down to thank him. Wen Han talked with the two for a while, and after a while, Da Sima Xu Shu stepped in. Deng Fan and Wang Shuang saw it and hurriedly saluted. Wen Han smiled indifferently at Xu Shu, and then said to Deng and Wang.
"As a general, not only must you have the courage of flesh and blood, but you can charge into battle, take the head of the enemy among the ten thousand armies, and provoke the soldiers, so that the army will be invincible and invincible. At the same time, there must be a strategic strategy in the belly, so that you can strategize and win thousands of miles away. If there is no plan, there is no plan. Although you have a military rank now, you must not be complacent because of this. From today on, you will learn strategies under the seat of Duke Xu. ”
When Deng Fan and Wang Shuang heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly saluted Xu Shu. Xu Shu held his beard and smiled. In the days that followed, Wen Shun, Deng Fan, Wang Shuang, Guan Xing and other young talents all listened to the teachings under Xu Shu's seat. And since Wen Han and Deng Fan talked about that encouragement that day, Deng Fan changed back to his original name, and even fought for it, vowing in his heart to never live up to Wen Han's expectations.
