Chapter 19: Advance and Retreat
The place where martial arts was practiced was a rectangular room, surrounded by weapon racks, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but they were all firmly fixed in the shelves, wrapped in cotton cloth on the outside, and the sharpness was lost, like a vine that needed to be supported.
The five eunuchs stood in two rows, holding large and small boxes in their hands, which were said to be necessary for the emperor, and Han Ruzi never used them once, and he didn't even know what was inside.
The sparring partner was still only the King of the East China Sea, and the other noble attendants were guarding outside.
Meng E stood a little farther away and rarely spoke, and her brother Meng Che was in charge of everything.
In front of many eunuchs, Meng Che did not dare to be rude, knelt down in a proper manner, and said after getting up: "The martial arts in the world are as vast as a sea of smoke, I don't know which one Your Majesty wants to learn?" ”
"Uh...... Teacher Meng decides. Han Ruzi was reminded in advance, calling the old gentleman who preached the scriptures "teacher", and the martial artist was "teacher", one more word to distinguish the civil and military, and the status was also different, and the literary teacher was more noble.
The King of the East China Sea had suffered from the Meng brothers and sisters, and had an extremely bad impression of the two, so he sneered: "It's as if you can do anything." ”
Meng Che replied lightly: "If you are proficient, there are only three kinds of things that you will know in the next, if you just teach some basics, you will not be able to do everything in the next." ”
"Just choose the one that Master Meng is proficient in." Han Ruzi doesn't care what he learns.
The King of the East China Sea laughed a few times, stepped forward and said, "Let's talk about what you are proficient in first." ”
Meng Che nodded slightly, "Fist, sword, internal strength." ”
"I've seen you hold a sword, but I haven't seen you use it." The King of the East China Sea looked left and right, "There is no basis for your words, you practice a few tricks for us to see." ”
"Since the Queen Mother has asked the two Meng masters to teach us martial arts, her skills must be good." Han Ruzi said.
The emperor's persuasion made the king of Donghai more insistent on his opinion, "The queen mother is the supreme body, Your Majesty has lived in the inner house for a long time, and she knows little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and she is easy to be deceived. I have a martial artist in the palace, and although I have learned averagely, I still have vision. ”
Meng Che said: "Martial arts are quite perceptive, and they don't care about the high and low, the order, the elder and the youngest, and it is a great honor to be able to get the guidance of the King of the East China Sea." ”
"I don't dare to say it, I can just tell the good from the bad, come on, practice a set of boxing techniques first."
Meng Che retreated to a spacious place, tightened his belt, took a horse step, slowly inhaled a breath, suddenly stepped forward, punched, retreated, forward, punched, retreated, and then stepped forward, lowered his arms, exhaled, and looked at the king of the East China Sea.
"What kind of thing is this?" The King of the East Sea said in surprise.
"Yes...... Pretty fast. Han Ruzi didn't see the way out.
"If the King of the East China Sea wants to see the flower fist embroidered legs, I'm sorry, I won't do this." Meng Che's tone was even more proud.
The King of the East Sea sneered, "Look at your swordsmanship again." ”
"The sword has no eyes, I'll just mean it."
The King of the East China Sea snorted, he remembered the situation when Meng Che held the sword in his hand in the Taimiao.
Meng Che took a few steps back, suddenly jumped out, spanned a distance of seven or eight steps, stretched and retracted his right arm, like a sword move, and immediately retreated, and returned to his original position in two steps, and then stood up, lowered his arm, exhaled, and said, "Please advise." ”
The King of the East Sea blushed a little, and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?" ”
Meng Che shook his head, "In front of Your Majesty, who dares to play for no reason?" This is the case with the next fist and sword, focusing on actual combat and not routines. ”
"Needless to say, your internal strength is even more out of routines?"
"Of course."
The King of the East China Sea pursed his lips with disdain, and turned his head to look at the leader of the eunuchs: "I want to try Teacher Meng's skills, no problem, right?" ”
Yang Feng didn't come today, Zuo Ji led the team, and said with a smile: "Don't move the real sword and real gun, other things, the king of the East China Sea is at will." ”
The King of the East Sea was self-aware, "That's good." Teacher Meng, I'm young and my strength is small, it's normal that I can't beat you, I'll call a few people in and try your 'actual combat' skills." ”
The king of the East China Sea didn't care whether Meng Che agreed or not, let alone ask the emperor's opinion, he walked out of the room, and after a while, he called all the attendants outside, and the official in charge of supervision looked frightened, glanced at Zuo Ji several times, and saw that he did not object, so he did not stop him.
The King of the East China Sea called out one of the oldest attendants, "This is the grandson of Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Biyuan and the Iron Cavalry General...... What's your name? ”
The attendant is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, his face still has a childish spirit, but his body is quite strong, and he is also the tallest. ”
Han Ruzi noticed this attendant very early, remembering his name at this time, and at the same time wanting to see if Meng Che had real skills.
The King of the East China Sea approached Zhang Yanghao, pointed at Meng Che and said, "This person's fists are relatively hard, you go and teach him a lesson, let him know that the emperor's martial arts teacher is not good." ”
"Since I am His Majesty's teacher, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent." Zhang Yanghao was quite cautious and did not play immediately.
"It's okay, it's just playing, Your Majesty wants to see it too." The King of the East China Sea looked at the emperor, and Han Ruzi nodded.
Zhang Yanghao hummed heavily, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the opposite side of Meng Che, the partners behind him whispered to cheer for him, and all his faces looked extremely excited, being a waiter in the palace is a boring errand, and everyone hopes to have a lively look.
"Teacher Meng, please advise." Zhang Yanghao did not clench his fists according to etiquette, he was the heir of the Zhang family who was about to inherit the title of Marquis of Biyuan, and there was no reason to be too polite to a martial artist.
"Zhang Gongzi's subordinates are merciful." Meng Che said.
Zhang Yanghao was born in a family of military generals, learned martial arts since he was a child, and was quite famous in the small circle, put on a posture at the moment, waited for a while, and saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, shouted lightly, strode forward, and punched it.
"Hundred steps boxing, the first punch in the army, deserves its name." Meng Che hid as he spoke, keeping a distance of more than five steps from Zhang Yanghao.
Although Baibu boxing is a boxing method, it attaches great importance to the next plate of kung fu, Zhang Yanghao's footwork is neat and rigorous, the double fist tiger is vigorous, worthy of being the son of a famous general, a few of the attendants who are watching can't help but applaud, after being stared at by the ceremonial officer, and hurriedly shut up.
One fights, the other dodges, and after half a circle, the king of the East China Sea became impatient and said loudly: "Teacher Meng, is this what you are capable of?" If you don't run, your majesty can't learn. ”
Meng Che also felt that it was enough, and reminded him: "Zhang Gongzi takes it." ”
"Come on!" Zhang Yanghao fought vigorously, hoping that the other party would return the move.
Meng Che neither stopped nor put on any posture, he was still dodging left and right one moment, and the next moment he had rushed into Zhang Yanghao's arms, punched out, quickly retreated seven steps away, and stood upright, with a cold face and frost, and ice in his eyes.
Zhang Yanghao froze there, his legs bent, his arms up and down, like a small tree blown by the wind, he suddenly exhaled a breath, screamed oops, covered his stomach, and couldn't straighten his waist for a long time.
"I am reckless, I don't know the severity of my shot, please forgive Zhang Gongzi." Meng Che's expression returned to normal.
Zhang Yanghao was still holding his stomach with his right hand, stretched out his left hand and shook it a few times, and said in a dumb voice: "It's okay, Teacher Meng is good at boxing, I, I am willing to bow down." ”
The attendants' surprise suddenly turned to admiration, and they asked, "What kind of fist is this?" "How much force did you use?" "Which sect are you from?" "Do you know Gui Yuehua? He is the martial artist of my family, and he is very famous in the rivers and lakes. ”
The ceremonial officer coughed a few times, the attendants shut up, Zhang Yanghao finally straightened his waist, hugged his fists and said: "It is worthy of being a royal martial artist, admire and admire." ”
"Zhang Gongzi is polite, the boxing method under is a boxing method of one person and one body, which is not as good as Zhang Gongzi's hundred-step boxing, but the boxing method of the two armies in front of the battle to capture the flag and make meritorious contributions."
In the army, Baibu Boxing is only used to strengthen the body, and when it comes to the battlefield, no one will fight with bare hands, but Meng Che's words still made Zhang Yanghao smile.
The King of the East China Sea originally wanted to make Meng Che make a fool of himself, but after seeing the power of boxing, he immediately changed his mind, came out of the crowd, and said, "Well, you really have some ability, how many can you fight alone?" ”
"It depends on who the opponent is." Meng Che said.
The King of the East Sea looked at the attendants and felt that none of them could do it, "The guards in the palace." ”
"Ouchi is a master like a cloud, pick out one at random, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent."
"Then on the battlefield, there are enemy soldiers on the opposite side, how many can you fight?"
Meng Che thought for a while, "If the other party is well-trained, at most five." ”
"It's only five!" The King of the East China Sea was disappointed, "I thought you could defeat a hundred." ”
"There is no invincible boxing in the world, the same as the art of war, but also divided, hanging, branching, passing, dangerous, far and other terrain, the terrain is different, the available boxing is also different, my boxing is alone, if there are too many enemies, I would rather run away, choose the opportunity to fight again, never try boxing with danger."
The King of the East China Sea still wanted to ask further, but Han Ruzi coughed, he was the emperor after all, and the King of the East China Sea could only shut up.
Han Ruzi was surprised by two things: Meng Che looked wooden, but he was actually very good at talking, and Meng Che's boxing reminded him of the problem that Yang Feng had arranged.
"When Teacher Meng and Zhang Gongzi competed, they retreated with one blow, why didn't they take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
The king of the East China Sea preemptively said: "He is afraid of injuring Zhang Yanghao, so it is difficult to explain." ”
Zhang Yanghao, who had already returned to the queue of attendants, blushed.
Han Ruzi felt that the reason was not only that, when Meng Che practiced boxing alone, he also advanced and retreated, never standing in place and punching continuously.
Meng Che looked at the emperor and bowed slightly, "The boxing technique under the lower level is not for desperateness, but for self-preservation." Attack and defense can not be both, attack is to go all out, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, go straight to the key point, whether it is successful or not, immediately retreat to defend, so as not to hit the enemy's trick of luring troops. ”
"How can Zhang Yanghao have any tricks to lure troops?" The King of the East China Sea felt that Meng Che was thinking too much.
That afternoon, Meng Che did not teach the real boxing method, but talked about some key tips, which were quite different from the common boxing methods in the rivers and lakes, and everyone couldn't hear the difference.
Han Ruzi slowly formed an idea in his heart, and as soon as he saw Yang Feng at night, he said excitedly: "I figured it out!" ”
"Your Majesty, please speak." Yang Bong was calm.
"Taizu dares to advance and retreat, when he has the opportunity to attack, he fights hard, and when the situation is unfavorable and he needs to retreat, he never drags mud and water, and he doesn't care about his reputation for a while, legend has it that Taizu has a god man to help him every time he encounters a crisis, in fact, it is not a god man, but Taizu - good at escaping."
Han Ruzi paused for a while, and then he was going to say something disrespectful to the old ancestor, "It's the same when Taizu and Haojie are friends, dare to advance and dare to retreat, some people betray Taizu, in fact, there are more people who are betrayed by Taizu, Taizu is more decisive than others, more ruthless, more able to use friends, and knows how to protect himself." ”
Han Ruzi finished speaking, and waited anxiously for Yang Feng to judge.
A smile appeared on Yang Feng's gloomy face, "Okay, I'll give Your Majesty the next question: Everyone in the world has a selfish heart, and there are many heroes who are more ruthless than Taizu, why haven't they been able to win the world?" ”
Han Ruzi was speechless and was stumped again.
