Martial arts has been expanding year after year, and now there are more than 1,200 students alone, Li Zhang just asked casually, and did not hope to get any accurate answers from Cao Wei, after all, he was just curious, and the bearded student didn't look like a young man.

However, to Li Zhang's surprise, Cao Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard his inquiry, and then asked, "Are you seeing a student with a big beard and who looks to be about thirty years old?" ”

"That's right, is the other party from the army, and is the age of recruiting cadets in the army relaxed now?" Li Zhang also nodded with some surprise, it seems that Cao Wei really knows each other?

"Sort of, but he wasn't selected from the border army, but took the initiative to ask for it from the forbidden army." When Cao Wei said this, he also showed a look of appreciation on his face, it seemed that he not only knew each other, but also was very familiar.

"Forbidden Army?" Li Zhang also showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

The so-called forbidden army refers to the army stationed in the capital, when the Great Song Dynasty implemented the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, the most elite army in the country was incorporated into the forbidden army stationed in the capital, and the forbidden army was also the best treatment among the armies, but with the passage of time, the forbidden army that had not been on the battlefield for a long time had long been useless, but the border army in the northwest and Hebei became more and more elite.

However, although the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is low, it is an iron rice bowl, especially the children of the generals, who generally like to be arranged to serve in the forbidden army, that is, they are safe and have rich military salaries to take, and they are promoted quickly, with these people, it is strange that the forbidden army can fight, so when martial arts selects students in the army, they directly select meritorious people in the border army, which can be regarded as a disguised reward for the border army, so the people in the forbidden army should not come to martial arts.

Cao Wei also saw the doubts in Li Zhang's heart, and immediately explained: "You may not know this person, but you should have heard of his grandfather and father, that is, the famous Yang Wuving back then, and Yang Yanzhao, who made the Liao army frightened......"

"He's Yang Wenguang?" Without waiting for Cao Wei to finish speaking, Li Zhang guessed the identity of the other party, and immediately shouted in surprise, when he was in Hebei, he heard Hu Yan Shouxin tell a lot of things about Yang Yanzhao, and he also knew that in real history, Yang Yanzhao did not have a son named Yang Zongbao, but Yang Wenguang in the romance was his son.

"Huh? Do you know the name of Wenguang? Cao Wei heard Li Zhang call out Yang Wenguang's name, and asked in surprise at the moment, Yang Wenguang is just an inconspicuous general in the forbidden army, although the ancestors are very famous, but the Yang family is not particularly famous among the generals, at least now it is not as good as their Cao family.

"Haha~, this is also a coincidence, when I went to Liao, I passed by Suicheng, and Brother Huyan's musket army was stationed there, and he also told me a lot about General Yang and the Yang family, so I also know that General Yang has a son named Yang Wenguang, and he serves in the forbidden army." Li Zhang smiled half-truthfully.

"I see, then it's no wonder!" Cao Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he forgot that Huyan Shouxin was now stationed in Suicheng, where Yang Yanzhao had been stationed and defeated the Liao army several times.

"Yang Wenguang has to be thirty years old this year, how could he suddenly run to the martial arts to be a little student?" Li Zhang asked curiously again at this time.

According to the original history, Yang Wenguang can actually be regarded as a quite promising general, he first served in the forbidden army, and later once quelled Nong Zhigao's rebellion with the famous general Di Qing, and later also stationed in the northwest to fight with the Western Xia people, and defeated the Western Xia army many times, which is quite a success, of course, Yang Wenguang's military performance is still not comparable with his grandfather and father, and there is a huge gap with famous generals like Cao Wei.

"Wen Guang is three in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, even his son is an adult, even his son just came to martial arts this year, he came last year, one realm earlier than his son, sometimes the father and son practice together in the school field, it's embarrassing to think about." When Cao Wei said the end, he couldn't help but shake his head with some embarrassment.

"Why, with the credit of General Yang, Yang Wenguang should be able to mix a good position in the forbidden army, if there is a rebellion in various places in the future, he can also 'fight for thieves', as long as he has the ability to make military achievements, promotion in the future is not a problem, why come to the martial arts to suffer?" Li Zhang asked even more in surprise when he heard this.

The so-called class line to fight for thieves, in fact, is to go out with the army in the order of officials, which is also the most common way for the promotion of the military attache of the forbidden army, although the forbidden army rarely has the opportunity to fight, but the generals in the forbidden army will be sent out from time to time to go on the expedition, although it is not really the only army, but it can share a lot of credit, and the promotion in the future will naturally be faster, in fact, Yang Wenguang in history is promoted by quelling the rebellion in various parts of Shaanxi.

"How can it be so easy, the forbidden army is full of people who are stuffed into various families, if you talk about seniority according to seniority, with Wenguang's age, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to lead the army, he has great ambitions, he wanted to go to the border army back then, but for various reasons, he could only go to the forbidden army, he was not willing to be in the forbidden army these years, last year he specially found me, no matter what, he wanted to come to martial arts, I see that his father's face is not easy to refuse, so he can only agree." Cao Wei finally sighed again.

Yang Wenguang is Cao Wei's nephew, when Yang Yanzhao was alive, the relationship between the two was also quite good, after all, heroes are heroes, and even when they were in Hebei, the two also cooperated with each other to attack the Liao army, but unfortunately Yang Yanzhao was more than ten years older than him, and died in the year of Dazhong Xiangfu.

Li Zhang also nodded when he heard this, Jiangmen could actually be used as a military general group to compete with the civilian official group, but unfortunately Jiangmen is not angry, and the interior is also scattered, and it has long been suppressed by the civilian group.

"Speaking of which, Wen Guang is really hard enough, in order to enter the army as soon as possible, he doesn't even want face, he is in his thirties, but he is still practicing with a group of newly grown children, and he will start from the bottom of the army in the future, but I believe that with his talent, as long as there is a battle, he will definitely be able to quickly rise to become a famous general in the army in the future!" Cao Wei spoke again at this time.

He watched Yang Wenguang grow up, so he also greatly appreciated Yang Guang's ability, if it weren't for the creation of people, Yang Wenguang would have become a middle and high-level general in the army a long time ago, at least no worse than his son Cao Mata.

Li Zhang also agreed with Cao Wei's words very much, because as far as he knew, the reason why Yang Wenguang was able to come out was said to be appreciated by Fan Zhongyan, but unfortunately he was already in his forties at that time, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia negotiated peace, and he also lost the opportunity to obtain military merits.

It wasn't until later with Di Qing to quell Nong Zhigao's rebellion that he came out completely, Yang Wenguang was already in his fifties at that time, for a general, he had already missed the most golden years, and when he was seventy-five years old, he was still stationed in Hebei to fight with the Liao army, and also presented the formation map to the imperial court and the strategy of seizing the Youyan region, but unfortunately he died that year without waiting for the imperial court's reply.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly, the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Yang family fought against the Liao State, Yang Lao Linggong was captured and died of hunger strike, Yang Liulang defeated the Liao army many times, and the Suicheng he garrisoned was even called "Tiesui City" by the Liao people, Yang Wenguang worked hard all his life, and he still wanted to recover Yanyun until he died, which can be described as full of loyalty, if the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are like them, where is there any need to worry about the Liao State?

"By the way, speaking of Wenguang, I plan to transfer him to the first batch of trainees, and let him go to the army early next year, after all, his family's martial arts and military art are very proficient, and even some instructors are not as good as him, staying here is a waste of time, it is better to go to the army as soon as possible to experience, what do you think?" Cao Wei suddenly thought of another thing at this time, and immediately asked Li Zhang's opinion.

"I'm okay with that!" Li Zhang immediately said that a talent like Yang Wenguang is indeed a waste of time to stay in martial arts, listening to Cao Wei's meaning, it is estimated that he has been very aggrieved in the forbidden army over the years, but it is normal to think about it, most of the people in the forbidden army are people who eat and wait for death, and people with great ambitions like Yang Wenguang will naturally look out of place when they go in.

Seeing Li Zhang's agreement, Cao Wei was also very happy, and immediately pulled him to chat some gossip, such as he knew that Li Zhang had a new daughter, so he also asked about the situation at Li Zhang's family, and Li Zhang happened to prepare an invitation for full moon wine to Cao Wei at this time, which made Cao Wei also very happy to take it.

In the afternoon, Cao Wei summoned important personnel in martial arts to come to his own meeting, and by the way, he also introduced Li Zhang to everyone, those old people in martial arts all knew Li Zhang, and they also greeted him at this time, and the new teachers had also heard of him, and now Li Zhangguan was reinstated, and he was originally the second-in-command in martial arts, so his appointment was also very smooth.

Originally, Cao Wei also wanted to hold a general meeting of martial arts, so that the students could also get to know Li Zhang, the superintendent, but Li Zhang felt that there was no need to do this, so he politely refused, and for the next period of time, he also ran at home and martial arts every day, especially martial arts, the scale was several times larger, the number of people was also more, and things were naturally more complicated.

However, as time went by, Li Zhang quickly became familiar with the affairs in hand, after all, he used to be the superintendent, so he adapted quickly, but on this day, Li Zhang got up and was about to go to martial arts, but suddenly received a news that shook the world: Liu E is seriously ill!
