Chapter 2 My Study Tour

Section 1: Intimidation and prohibition

When it was dawn, we set out of the mountain with 12 horses and a carriage. The horses were strapped to the clothes and gold and silver we had collected, and on the carriage lay three former captives.

None of us could ride horses, so we had to lead them. At that time, it was overcast and I felt very uncomfortable. According to the main theme of the film, it should be the dawn now, and the sky is full of light, but I didn't expect our first appearance in the Three Kingdoms to be chaotic clouds and haze.

"This god doesn't talk about the main theme at all," I muttered.

After walking far away, I stopped and looked back at the valley, where countless vultures flew over the valley, and on the hill stood an animal that could not tell whether it was a tiger or an old wolf, and it whimpered at us. I suppose they were all attracted by the carcasses of the valley, and the tiger or the old wolf on the hill was probably keeping watch for the animals that were feeding in the valley, so I waved at it, turned and continued walking.

Soon it began to rain, and we walked into troubled times in this rain.

Many years later, Guan Hai always described the scene when we walked out of Mount Tai like this: "The lord returned from Mount Tai to learn art, the day of the mountain, the tiger traveled 10 miles to send each other, the birds came to the west, the torrential rain poured, and the heaven and earth cried for it." ”

Depressed, what could Guan Hai who was lying in the carriage see at that time? And I understand that he just wants to show Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that he is the first person to talk to me, and of course I don't bother to argue about it.

However, I got a title for this: 毘 (pronounced pi) tiger. Since then, I, who am not good at literary and Chinese, always find opportunities to ask people with advanced knowledge, what is the meaning of this title? But they always think that I do it to hear compliments, and it makes me lose my heart every time. I privately speculated, which may mean that the tiger is the neighbor, or the person who commands the tiger is not bad, not called a gecko.

In the rain, we walked into Taishan Juping (Tai'an) County. This is a dilapidated small county, originally only for the emperor to climb Mount Tai to worship the place to rest, the emperor has not come for 200 years, Juping is also dilapidated. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it became the largest den of thieves. If it weren't for our appearance, Guan Hai would be one of the famous thieves.

As a traveling bachelor, I rested at the post station. Judging from the scene on the street, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao has extended his tentacles here, and when we rested, the people at the post station saw that we had wounded, so they took the initiative to recommend to us to let Zhang Jiao's disciples treat the wounds, just kidding, we will let Guan Hai and them drink Fu Shui? Zhang Jiao may be a clever doctor, but he pretends to be a ghost in the name of practicing medicine, just look at him after the uprising, rob and kill people everywhere, you know that he just wants to be another emperor, this kind of person is better not to contact.

Rejecting their kindness, I placed the three of them in the outer hall of my bedroom. In their opinion, just one day after joining us, they trusted them so much, and these three people were moved to tears. And I just want to keep an eye on them nearby, so that Guan Hai, the thief, does not come into contact with the person with Zhang Jiao - who knows if he will be pulled into the yellow scarf after contact. I think they committed crimes near Taean, and no one knows if there is their eyeliner in the city, so for safety, they need to be kept under their noses.

Of course, I won't tell anyone about this true thought, so let them be moved by it.

This night, because we didn't sleep for many days, or because we had a goal for the future, we slept very hard. After waking up, Guan Hai, Chen Yong, and Wang Zhi knelt at the entrance of my bedroom and waited for me to wash up, regardless of the pain on their bodies. But I'm not used to it, "Get up, your injuries are not healed, lie down quietly, don't do such trivial rituals anymore, go down", Guan Hai and the others kowtowed.

I walked out of the room and looked at the sun of the three countries, this sun was indeed different from our time, the sky was blue and blue, and the sun was particularly dazzling on it. I suddenly remembered that the coal mining industry was underdeveloped during the Three Kingdoms era, and the main thing to burn in the Tang Dynasty was wood, and there was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty who wrote "Charcoal Burner", which is about an old man who burned wood into charcoal and sold it in the palace. No wonder there is no pollution here now.

Ah, all of a sudden a thought flashed through my mind, coal, we can build a coal mine to make money. There is a lot to do with coal. I immediately rushed into Takayama's room, dragged him up, and asked, "Have you decided what business to do?" ”

"No, what do you suggest?"

"Do you know what was the main fire burning in the Han Dynasty? Tell you, it's wood, wouldn't it be great if we opened a coal mine and sold coal? Hahaha, you must know that the smelting technology of the Han Dynasty is not high, and it has a major relationship with the inability to increase the temperature of the furnace, if we have coal, we can increase the temperature of the furnace, and Zhou Yi's smelter will also be built by the way. Also, when the temperature of the furnace is raised, we can also fire glass that has never been fired in ancient China, and we can also fire better porcelain and tiles, then we can really change history. Come to think of it, aren't you excited. ”

"Okay, you, the coal mine is a place where a lot of dead people are concerned, in our time, that technology, the coal mine still kills a lot of people a year, the US military fought fiercely in Iraq, but Iraq is the second unsafe place in the world except for Chinese coal mines, and the US military casualty rate is far lower than that of Chinese coal mines, if you want me to do this, I won't do it."

Fight with me, you are still tender, I sat next to him, and tried to say to him in a gentle tone: "I was too busy yesterday to ask you, did you catch up with those two merchants?" ”

Gao Shan's face immediately turned pale, "I didn't kill them", he shouted anxiously, I can understand his feelings, after all, a person who has received many years of legal education, suddenly kills someone, and the psychological burden is very great. I patted him on the shoulder. He continued: "They were too badly injured...... We push each other...... They fell down the valley ......, I came back in a hurry, I didn't kill them".

I tapped him on the shoulder again and asked, "Did you get the thing?" Gao Shan's face became even paler, he didn't answer, I nodded: "It's okay not to run in vain, now we will discuss it again, let me see the things." ”

Takayama immediately replied: "I'll dig coal"

"Earlier, I didn't let you go down the well to dig. You should think about it, on the one hand, to improve the safety protection of coal mines, and on the other hand, I will also find a way to find some Japanese to dig coal. I paused, and then said, "I still think, with coal, did you develop the steam engine, the steam engine era in the West is too short, this is because the power era is too fast, we can't enter the power era at this stage, but as long as the smelting technology goes up, build a boiler and enter the steam engine era, the technical threshold should not be too high." You studied physics and must have taught students the principles of the steam engine. So, I'll leave this to you. ”

In the next few days, we mainly rested at the post station, we first entered the Three Kingdoms, and we needed a period of time to familiarize ourselves with the living habits and customs of the time, so that we could better integrate into the world. Of course, on the other hand, it is also to let Guan Hai and them recover from their injuries, and it is a pity that these few strong laborers who have survived a hundred battles only let them lie down. However, during this period, watching Yin Dong and them enter and leave Gao Shan's room, they whispered from time to time. I often wonder what is the treasure that is plundered by the mountains? Looks like all three of them already know, except for me. Depressed.

We then went around buying young children, but unfortunately this small county has a small population, so we don't get much. Of course, we have also tried the possibility of buying adults, but the big and powerful landlords are not willing to let go of these strong laborers easily, and the price is too high. Considering that adults are not very malleable. We eventually gave up on that plan.

In these years, the land annexation is really serious, and three 15-year-old children are only sold for 200 copper, and the 12-year-old and 9-year-old children we want are even cheaper. I inquired, in this era, people pay taxes according to the head, and a person who does nothing does anything pays taxes close to one or two a year. What a dark age it is for young children to sell themselves not enough to pay taxes!

Guan Hai was puzzled that I only bought a large number of children, in his opinion, what we need is adults, after all, more than 50 well-trained young and strong family members did not block their onslaught, but how did he know that the 15-year-old boy will be 19 years old after 4 years, after our training, they will be the main force of our army to deal with the Yellow Turban, 12 to 9-year-old boys, we will teach them knowledge, after the Yellow Turban is pacified, they will be the main force of our construction. But he didn't understand what happened to him four years later, and I didn't bother to tell him.

Ten days later, we were ready to go. I have only one thing left in Tai'an, and for 10 days I have slowly approached a person through a roundabout way, and now that I am close to success, I am ready to visit Yu Banyu Wenze. Yu Ban is one of the five generals of Cao Ying, and his biggest strength is that he is good at training. After Cao Cao recruited 300,000 Taishan thieves, he handed them over to Yu Ban for training, and it only took him one year to train the Taishan thieves to become the main force of Cao Cao's battle - the Qingzhou soldiers of the Tiger Ben's division. It is a farmer who handed over this person, and it is a soldier who takes it out, it is a pity that I don't visit such a talent, I need his knowledge of military training, of course, I also want to recruit him, but it is unlikely that I want to recruit him, at this time I am just a nameless, and even the request to visit him has to take 10 days of twists and turns, and the name of the teacher Lu Zhi is raised, and he agrees.

Since you have no intention of taking refuge, after my trip, I will make you think in your dreams that I am also afraid, so that no matter whose camp he is in the future, as long as he meets me, he will be afraid. As far as I know, although Yu Ban is well-trained, he is a coward, in history he met Guan Yu's attack in Jingzhou and surrendered, Lu Xun defeated Guan Yu to occupy Jingzhou, and then surrendered to Eastern Wu, but this person has good personnel, and was finally released back to Wei by Sun Quan under the rescue of Cao Ying's soldiers.

I plan to learn some training skills from this general of the three surrenders. In particular, there is an opportunity for Guan Hai to listen to the speech of the training master, which will be of great use to his future training, in history, this Guan Hai led the troops very stinky, and the handsome army of 100,000 attacked Beihai, so that a Tai Shi Ci killed a few in and out of a few people like entering a no-man's land, and finally died in the hands of Zhang Fei. Taishi Ci is brave, I don't believe that the 100,000 army is organized and can't beat him. So I took Guan Hai and went straight to the forbidden house, although with Guan Hai's current situation, it is best to stay at the post station honestly, but I can't take care of these things.

In the west of the city, a brick and stone house is Yu Ban's home. I nodded, which was in line with Yu Ban's experience. In the Han Dynasty, the brick-burning technology was not popular, and the bricks burned were expensive, and only the rich could afford to live in a brick house, but not all the people who lived in the brick house were knowledgeable. Movable type printing in the Han Dynasty had not yet been invented, and books were engraved on bamboo slips, or copied by hand on paper that had just been invented, and those who could afford to collect books were all children of families, and it took several generations of efforts to collect all the books. In what era, knowledge was the exclusive preserve of the privileged.

I handed the knife to Guan Hai's hand and said respectfully to the doorman: "Please report, after King Jing of Zhongshan, Jiujiang guards Lu Zhi's door, and Liu Bei, a savage from Zhuo County, asks to see."

The doorman ushered us into the study, and the first thing Yu Ban said when he saw us, "You came to visit me, does your teacher know?" I looked at Yu Ban's smug face and replied, "I don't know." The meaning of Yu Ban's words is: Do you know my big name Lu Zhi? But since I have come to destroy him, how can I make him proud?

"How, then, do you know me?" In that case, how did you remember to visit me?

"I've come to Tai'an to visit celebrities, I'm leaving tomorrow, and two or three boys have recommended you to me, so I'll try it for the time being", I replied. Yu Ban was furious: "I read all the military books, hoping to sell what I have learned to the emperor's family, what do you know as a wild man in Zhuo County"

I was also furious: "I heard that you have read all the military books, I want to see if you know the way of Qizheng, slow disease, virtual reality, advance and retreat, interest and harm, movement, rigidity and softness, and the way of existence and non-existence, but I didn't expect you to be just a reckless man." ”

Yu Ban listened to my long list of new words, and asked me in shock: "What is Qizheng, Slow Disease, Virtuality and Reality, Advance and Retreat, Benefit, Movement, Rigidity and Softness, and the Way of Existence and Nothingness." ”

I replied: "Governing the country with righteousness, using soldiers with odds, and the crowd of the three armies can make those who are invincible to the enemy without defeat, and it is also strange." To coincide, to win. Specifically, it is positive to meet the enemy head-on, and it is strange to maneuver and cooperate; The light is positive, and the darkness is strange; Stillness is positive, movement is strange; Advance is positive, retreat is strange; The first out is positive, the last out is strange...... - general, conventional, ordinary strategy and tactics are positive, special, changing, rare strategies and tactics are strange. ”

Yu Ban was shocked, because I quoted Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and some theories that he had never heard of, which were the results of later generations' research on Sun Tzu's Art of War. Yu Ban immediately changed his face and respectfully asked me for advice on other aspects, such as alleviating illness, reality and reality, advance and retreat, interests and harms, movement and stillness, rigidity and softness, and the truth of existence and non-existence. I just laughed and didn't answer, because I only had this thing ready, and besides, wouldn't it show my feet.

Yu Ban turned to discuss with me in detail the way of Qizheng. I was prepared. Asked to set up a camp in the forbidden virtual area, and he defended my attack.

In the Battle of the White Horse, it was he who withstood the attack of Yuan Shao's fierce general Yan Liang until the arrival of Cao Cao's reinforcements after the beginning of spring. And a cautious general like him finally became one of Cao Cao's five famous generals, and Cao Ying knew a truth: defending the city must be based on the rules of literature. This makes me can't help but admire Cao Cao's way of employing people.

Well, since you're good at it, I'm going to break your faith in what you do best.

Yu Ban placed a book slip on the book table, which represented the camp he set up.

"Is there water next to the village?" I asked.

"There is water," Yu replied proudly.

"I will block the flow of water, and when the river is full, I will flood your camp."

"No water," Yu Ban said.

"If the army has no water for 3 days, it will collapse, and I will surround you on all sides and not let you take water. 3 After the day I will send someone to the camp and cut your neck. ”

"There is no water, I dig a well." Yu Ban blushed and said roughly.

"I'll wait for you to dig out the water," I said, smiling. It's a place where water can be dug up, and you think you're a god.

"Is there a mountain?" I then asked.

"Or there are mountains," Yu replied hesitantly.

"I will set up a fortress on the mountain, and when you come to attack me, I will attack from the mountain downward, like a rock collapsing, how can you resist."

"I'm just setting up a village on the mountain" Yu Ban was already very angry.

"There is no water on the mountain, I surround it on all sides, and the trap will trap you to death."

In this way, Yu Ban defended 20 times, and I broke through. Yu Ban, who was very angry, asked me to switch offense and defense.

"Ru Lizhai, there is no water and no mountains next to it," Yu Ban shouted.

"I will wander outside your fortress with iron horses, and from time to time I will shoot arrows at your battalion, and let the cavalry use a sleeve pole to cover the fence of your wall, and then pull down the wall and enter your village with infantry attacks." I smiled and said to Ban, "If you set up a village where I don't want you to build a village, I will keep harassing you?" If you can set up a village, it must be in the place I have chosen for you, the place where I want you to build a village. At that time, you were a fish and I was a sword, not a slaughter. ”

"Ru Lizhai, there is no water and no mountains next to it, I will attack it first" Yu Ban said fiercely.

"I dug traps all over the camp, and the traps were full of pickets. If you come to attack me, I will let the camp out, do you dare to enter the village? ”

Subsequently, Yu Ban attacked the stockade I set up about 20 times according to the method of my attack, and I cracked them one by one. At this time, Yu Ban had completely become a mentally handicapped person, and he kept muttering: "You can't attack, you can't defend, what should I do?" ”

However, the purpose of my visit has not been achieved, and I think that if a person experiences a great pain, he may only remember this lesson, but if he is happy after the great pain, and then he is in great pain again, I guess he will not dare to try to provoke me in this life. I immediately changed the subject: "What is the military?" ”

This is the director of Yu Ban again, and he immediately talked endlessly, and I asked Guan Hai about Yu Ban's talk from time to time, but I did not comment on what he said. This made him immediately proud, and finally spoke directly to Guan Hai, while constantly glancing at me.

With this effort, I slowly looked at the forbidden study, which was full of bamboo slips and weapons, among which there was a branch of Ge Zheng and Liu Bei and the same weapon held by the group of thieves when they fought in the mountains, I picked up the branch and looked at it carefully, Ao, yes, this is not Ge, this is called a halberd. There is also a protruding spear head on the horizontal branch of this Ge, the Eastern Han Dynasty developed this weapon on the basis of Ge, because it can pierce and slash, it is currently the most popular weapon. It is said that it was Lu Bu who first changed the horizontal branch of Ge into a crescent shape, and called this weapon "Fang Tian Painting Halberd", because it has more hook and hanging functions than ordinary halberds, Lu Bu is therefore rampant in the world.

When I was playing the Three Kingdoms game, I wondered many times, how could Fang Tian's halberd be so powerful in Lu Bu's hands, it was just a weapon that was eliminated later, because it had an extra crescent on its head, so the center of gravity was extremely forward, causing the entire weapon to be extremely difficult to control. Also because of its crescent moon, it is difficult to pull out once the weapon is pierced into the human body, how did Lu Bu do all this? Thinking of the demeanor of this Three Kingdoms flying general, I can't help but be stupid.

Yu Ban slowly paced my side at this time, and looked at me so intently at this halberd and said: "This halberd is made by Zheng Hun in Yuzhou, using gold, copper, and iron for 3 years to forge out, and it is extremely sharp, and it is called 'Armor Breaking'", I asked casually: "Who is Zheng Hun?" ”。 Yu Ban's eyes widened immediately, as if surprised by my ignorance. Can you blame me, the status of craftsmen in Chinese history is extremely low, even if he was famous at that time, if he had not been an official, then the history books would not record him, how would I know who Zheng Hun was?

However, in Yu Ban's opinion, this is probably because I am too poor to associate with Zheng Hun, and if there are no weapons made by Zheng Hun in the martial artists of that era, it is either too poor or lowly status. We were all dressed in clothes that had been stripped from the robbers, and if it weren't for the fact that I still had an unusually majestic family like Guan Hai by my side, who seemed to have some status, I guess Yu Ban would have kicked us out immediately.

"Don't you know that Zheng Hun, this is the craftsman at that time, although the grade is still young, but the weapons he makes are the dream of martial artists, and the world says that he can become a master craftsman in the future. This halberd is my many begging, and Zheng Hun sold it below, didn't your teacher tell you Zheng Hun's name? Yu Ban was surprised.

"Master Lu only taught me literary affairs, and I studied martial arts under an old man in the mountains, there is no sun and moon in the mountains, I don't know the name of Zheng Hun" Yu Ban's eyes immediately lit up, the mountains are old and decaying, where is the high level of martial arts, he looked up and down at my relatively thin figure: "I have been familiar with martial arts since I was a child, and I don't know the name of the old man in the mountains. ”

Hearing this, Guan Hai immediately showed a gaze that he couldn't bear to witness, in the valley of Taishan, he witnessed my ferocious fighting, and then looked at this Yu Ban who had just taught him, it was like seeing a corpse jumping up and down.

"I went down the mountain from my master's order before I finished my studies, and I learned less than one-tenth of my teacher's martial arts, so it's better to be like this", I pretended to be modest and said: "Although my family Ding has not healed from his injuries, he can barely compare with you." ”

Yu Ban turned his gaze to Guan Hai. When I went out, I wrapped his face like a pig's head so that others would not recognize him. Even Yu Ban couldn't help but have the idea of victory. "This person is also an old man in the mountains?" It's not", I replied.

Looking at Guan Hai's gaze, Yu Ban thought that this was the gaze of the family next to me who couldn't bear to look at me. He immediately insisted on competing with me, and even made a condition that he would show mercy to my men during the competition by wrapping the halberd head in cloth. Looking at Yu Ban, whose self-confidence swelled again, I agreed. It seems that if I don't fight today, his face is full of peach blossoms, and he doesn't know why the flowers are so red.

I took the knife from Guan Hai's hand and tied it up. It seems that there are all kinds of weapons in the Han Dynasty, and Yu Ban has not been curious about my knife for a long time, perhaps in his opinion, the hardwood sheath is just the crude wooden staff of the old man in the stone mountain. Poor me, I was going to show it off, but now I have to go to the forbidden head to play a role.

I stood there with my feet on my feet and a knife in one hand to make it look more like a crutch. Slowly relax the muscles of the whole body. Modern kinematic theory believes that some people have muscle tension in the whole body before fighting, but he can't exert the strength of the muscles, only before the fight the whole body is relaxed, once the force is exerted, you must use the strength of the legs, waist, abdomen, arms, neck and other muscles of the whole body, in order to make moves like lightning, move to kill. This may be the unity of heaven and man that was often said in ancient times. I have more than 2,000 years of history than Yu Ban, and if I can't even cure him, how can I still mess up.

The knife followed the momentum of my forward rush, turned into lightning and lightning, scraped through the space between the two people, and stabbed at the halberd to Yu Ban, the rapid roar of the knife wind breaking through the air, pulled everyone's feelings, and when the knife and halberd intersected, Yu Ban staggered back with the sound.

How could I let him withdraw from the battle like this, as the knife forward, I blinked a few times and slashed nine knives at Yu Ban, each knife took an angle that was extremely tricky, like a series of lightning flashes, in the piercing knife wind roaring, the halberds couldn't help but touch, Yu Ban killed only the power of parrying, and couldn't help retreating. At this moment, in the forbidden eye, I seemed to become a god full of terrifying power, and pounced on him like a tiger descending from a mountain, and the head of the knife rained down on his head, face, and shoulder.

And at that moment, it dawned on me. I finally understood the truth of using a knife, the knife is green, and it is said that the knife is the main attack, and the offense is instead of the defense. As long as the attacking others are at a loss, the attacking others are recruited everywhere, and the attacking others have no time to think and cannot attack me, I will be invincible. At that moment, my sword was like a flash of lightning, painting through the void, but it gave people a strange feeling of lightness and elegance, like thunder, like rain and storm. At that moment, I longed to kiss the two mouthfuls of the two.

Yu Ban's last memory was Guan Hai's sneering face, which leaned next to his face, making him completely dizzy.

Many years later, Cao Cao's army confronted me, and the generals of Cao Ying were very excited to bully the weak, and the unique face of the forbidden was like the color of the earth, Cao Cao asked Yu Ban, who had discussed military affairs with me: "The prince has never been so afraid of Lu Bu, why is he so flustered about Liu Bei?" ”

Yu Ban replied: "Lu Bu, the wolf of the world, the wolf runs thousands of miles, its attack is fast, and its attack is also urgent, but the wolf wanders around, he will not have a good place to rest, and there will be no place for him to eat." Liu Bei, the bear of the world, the bear is in the place, and the tiger avoids it. Yu Ban then talked about the drill I had with him to attack and defend the camp, and when he knew that I had said that I would only let the opponent set up camp in the place I wanted, the generals of Cao Ying's face were as pale as earth.
