Chapter Seventy-Seven: Liu Chan Learns Arrows

Liu Chan took the slingshot, buckled the stone, tiptoed lightly, and aimed at a hare in a serious manner. Perhaps he was so loud that the rabbit became alert, and before the stone could be issued, the rabbit jumped in a hurry, and immediately disappeared in the grass.

Liu Chan was not discouraged, went around and around, and found several targets. However, the slingshot has a small power, with a range of only twenty paces, and every time he approaches, the prey will always be alarmed, and disappear in the blink of an eye.

After three or five unsuccessful attempts, Liu Chan suddenly threw off the slingshot in his hand, quite sullen. Seeing the prince angry, his two attendants immediately trembled, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Jiang Wei picked up the slingshot, handed it back to the attendant, and then stepped forward and bent down, patted the weeds and dust off Liu Chan's body, and asked, "Doesn't Your Highness know how to shoot arrows?" ”

Liu Chan was just a little unhappy, not really angry, he shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "The bow and arrow are too difficult to learn, and I don't have a slingshot to get started." He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does General Jiang know how to shoot arrows?" ”

Jiang Wei smiled, didn't answer, only took the commonly used two-stone strong bow from the saddle, took another arrow, and aimed at a hare a hundred paces away.

His eyesight is very good, and a hundred steps away, others can only see a faint gray shadow, but he can see clearly. Take a slight aim, and suddenly release the right hand that controls the strings. The arrow "swished" straight through the air, and in the blink of an eye, I saw the gray shadow with a puddle of blood foam and fell to the ground.

A soldier had already stepped forward, raised the hare in the air, and shouted: "One arrow through the brain!" Jiang Zuocheng shoots greatly! ”

Liu Chan exclaimed, and his eyes looking at Jiang Wei were suddenly mixed with a hint of admiration.

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "If Your Highness is willing to learn archery, you should be able to get started in a year." When hunting in the autumn of next year, Hugh said that even the rabbits and the sika deer could not be hunted. ”

Liu Chan's eyes lit up: "This is true!" I want to learn archery, I want to learn archery right now, General Jiang, can you teach me? ”

Jiang Wei looked at the eager young man in front of him. Liu Chan in history was quite timid and cowardly, and he had no fatherly style. Deng Ai was in the yin and flat path, and after taking the CD directly, he knew that there were reinforcements outside and grain and grass inside, but he still bound himself and asked to surrender, not only betraying himself in history, but also completely ruining the Han family.

Later generations' views on Liu Chan can be described as polarized. Either the person is stupid and incorrigible; Or that he is wise and foolish, and Taoguang is obscure.

But in Jiang Wei's view, Chen Shou had already seen through Liu Chan, the historical master, so he wrote in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms":

"After the director is virtuous, he is the king of reason, and after the darkness, it is said that 'the silk is impermanent, only dyed', believe it!" Evaluation.

Liu Chan, like all ordinary people with average qualifications, becomes good when there is a good person, and bad when there is a bad person. In the end, he is one of the countless mediocre people.

Jiang Wei also knows that the formation of a person's character is half of the innate factors, and the acquired education and experience also account for half.

Liu Chan is at the age of age at this time, and there is still the possibility of shaping. Jiang Wei had the intention to guide him to become more generous and bloody, and practicing archery was an excellent means, so he agreed on the spot.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince travels and is fully equipped. Hunting bows ranging from three buckets to eight buckets are available. Jiang Wei took a small bow with three fighting forces from the hand of the attendant, handed it to Liu Chan, and said, "Your Highness, let's try if you can pull this bow." ”

After Liu Chan took it, he weighed it in his hand a few times, imitated Jiang Wei's appearance, and slowly pulled the bowstring apart.

The Han system, three buckets is about twelve catties, which is not difficult for a twelve-year-old boy like Liu Chan.

Liu Chan was very excited, and said continuously: "It's open!" Pull it away! He drew his bowstring, but his body was crooked, and he watched the indescribable twist. Although the soldiers behind him were silent, they all shook their heads in private.

Jiang Wei understands that to deal with such weak-willed teenagers, positive affirmation and guidance are more important. So he smiled and said: "Your Highness is really talented, much better than the last general who learned archery for the first time." ”

Liu Chan was really happy, and hurriedly asked, "Then where to put the arrow next?" How to shoot? ”

Jiang Wei said: "Don't be in a hurry to shoot arrows first. Although archery is based on strength and accuracy, it is also very important to have a good posture. If Your Highness can do this, I am afraid that the lord will praise him for three points when he sees it. ”

Liu Bei is majestic and majestic on weekdays, and he has little time to communicate with his son, so Liu Chan is very afraid of him on weekdays. At this moment, when I heard the method that could make my father praise, I was excited and hurriedly asked for advice.

Jiang Wei smiled: "A new archery practitioner, his feet are parallel and shoulder-width apart. Don't hold your chest up, hold your chest slightly, and press your ribs tightly. Don't shrug the shoulders of the bow, after opening the bow, pull the string with your back more, yes, the elbows are slightly raised......"

As he spoke, he moved his hands to correct Liu Chan's posture one by one.

What Jiang Wei taught was the archery skills of the authentic army, which was very laborious, and after a while, Liu Chan was already sore in his limbs, sweating profusely, and he did not look impatient.

At this moment, fifty paces ahead, another gray shadow flashed.

Jiang Wei bent down against Liu Chan's small body, held his small hand to push the bow with his left hand, and took his right hand with his right hand to pull the string, his mouth was attached to his ear, and he whispered: "Has Your Highness seen the hare in front?" ”

Liu Chan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously: "Look... See. ”

"Okay, don't move with your left hand, pull the string with your right hand."

Under his guidance, Liu Chan slowly pulled the bowstring.

"Hold your chin against the hand that pulls the string, look at the arrow feather first, see the tip of the arrow forward, then see the prey forward, adjust the hand that pushes the bow, and aim at three points and one line, understand?"

Liu Chan was slightly nervous, and his body trembled unconsciously. However, he could feel Jiang Wei's hands steady and powerful, steadily dragging his two hands that pushed the bow and pulled the string.

"If Your Highness is nervous, you can take a deep breath, hold it in your chest, and don't spit it out."

Liu Chan inhaled incently as he said, but after a few breaths, his slightly trembling body really calmed down slightly.

"Aim at the prey as the last general said."

"Aim... Aimed. ”

"Okay, listen to the slogan of the last general,"

"Three ......"

"Two ......"

"One...... Put! ”

Liu Chan got the instructions, hurriedly spread his right hand, and the arrow suddenly shot away. This was his first time shooting, and he was inevitably a little nervous, and the timing of the release of his two fingers was inconsistent, and it stands to reason that this arrow would definitely deviate from the target.

It's just that he stared at the prey in front of him intently, and he didn't notice that Jiang Wei behind him flicked lightly on the arrow feather.

Fifty paces away, in a blink of an eye. After a breath, the hare suddenly crouched in the wild grass and disappeared from everyone's sight, and it was not known whether it had been shot or not. The soldiers on the side hurriedly ran up, bent down to pluck away the weeds and search.

Liu Chan was a little nervous in his heart, but he had more of an expectation. His little hand holding the bow was stained with sweat, but his body turned to Jiang Wei and asked in a trembling voice, "Middle...... Did you win? ”

After a while, the soldier stood up, held up the hare, which still had an arrow stuck in it, and shouted: "Your Highness, you shoot a divine arrow, and an arrow pierces the heart!" ”

"Ahh Hit! Hit it! Seeing this, Liu Chan immediately smiled and jumped high. He grabbed Jiang Wei's shirt and said excitedly: "I shot!" I shot! ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Your Highness is talented and intelligent, and the last general will admire it!" ”

The soldiers behind them shouted together:

"Your Highness is mighty!"

"Your Highness is mighty!"

Liu Chanchu shot well, and immediately became enthusiastic, pestering Jiang Wei to shoot again. Jiang Wei then took the opportunity to carefully point out the tricks of the four links of pushing the bow, pulling the string, aiming, and releasing the arrow. Under the rise of Liu Chan, he gradually mastered the posture and basic skills of archery.
