In the Yuewei Grass Hall of Jinding Mountain, a temporary battle explanation class was being held at this time. A soldier who participated in the previous Battle of Iron Horn pointed to a simple sketch on the blackboard to explain the battle situation to the students in the cottage. It's just that the narrator seems to be a little stage frightened, and he always stammers when he speaks, which makes the children in the cottage feel a little funny.

The whipping sound sounded, and Zhang Shuangxi held back the pain and looked at the blackboard again.

And Zhang Zhaoliang, who was whispering with him, was holding his hands, and he wanted to cry in pain. But seeing the stern appearance of his fifteenth uncle, Zhang Zhaoliang still endured the tears that were about to flow.

Although the two children looked at the blackboard again, most of them scolded the gentleman in the cottage in their hearts.

When the other children saw Zhang Shuangxi and Zhang Zhaoliang's unlucky appearance, they all tried their best to pretend to listen carefully, and did not dare to do anything that violated discipline. And Zhang Mengcheng, who was arrogant in front of the child again, nodded to the man on the stage, and this mostly inefficient explanation went on again.

Zhang Mengcheng was quite surprised by the failure of the official army to attack Tiejiao City this time. After all, Jin Dingshan and his gang have repeatedly defeated the thieves after recruiting An, and they already have a relatively clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the thieves. The Dongchuan thieves, who have complex compositions and lack organization and cohesion, are by no means the opponents of the elite of the official army.

However, more than 3,500 elite officers and soldiers failed to capture Iron Horn City as expected, and they suffered heavy losses in this battle. Therefore, Zhang Mengcheng was a little curious about the details of the battle, and after receiving Ma Xiangbo's message, he specially sent someone to bring the soldiers under his eldest brother who delivered the news back to Jinding Mountain.

After Zhang Mengcheng first studied it carefully, he felt the need to tell the students, so he made this somewhat shy man from northern Shaanxi a lecturer.

“…… After the big and big bosses broke off with their personal guards, the thieves saw that the big bosses were heavily guarded, and the second and third masters also put the team in order, so they didn't dare to pursue us. After that, the second master took the people to the palace, and the big boss retreated. The three masters set up a position in the back again, and the second leader also retreated later, and Leader Li led them to line up again. The people in our stockade are like this, and they all finally withdrew to the official and military camps. The man finally finished his lecture and looked at the leader of Xiucai with a blank eye.

Zhang Mengcheng took the lead in applauding, and the children who were familiar with the routines of the cottage had no choice but to applaud along, and the loud applause made the men on the stage feel a lot more comfortable.

"Today's homework is about the Battle of Iron Horn, and I would like to talk about your thoughts. Tomorrow I will conduct spot checks, and those who do not do their homework will be severely fined. Zhang Mengcheng stepped up to the podium to let his students hand in their thoughts and opinions, and then announced the end of the course. Then he took the man who had just finished his lecture and went to the cafeteria in the thatched hall to eat the roast chicken that had been prepared before.

The children in the cottage were finally relieved to see Mr. leave, and they all changed back to their wild monkey appearance. As for the feelings of the husband, the children think that they can always cope with the past. Because my husband has been busy revising the wargame he made recently, he is not as demanding on the assignments that students turn in as before.

Zhang Shuangxi looked at the whip marks on Zhang Zhaoliang's hand, and said with some shame: "It's all my fault for this, if I wasn't bored and pulled you around, you wouldn't have to suffer these whips, I'll help you write this time." ”

Zhang Zhaoliang heard Zhang Shuangxi's apology, and said very stiffly: "These little injuries are nothing, I didn't say a word." I can write the homework myself, and last time Brother Xizi, you helped me write and was recognized by Uncle Fifteen. After that, I was beaten and then cleaned up when I got home. ”

"Then I'll invite you to eat baked cakes next time, and I still have some money left over from the previous New Year." Zhang Shuangxi still insisted on compensating himself for his little follower, so he planned to treat the east at the beginning of the next market in the village.

Zhang Zhaoliang likes the baked cakes sold in the market, so he did not refuse Zhang Shuangxi's invitation.

Seeing that the two people who were punished just now had negotiated, Liu Sikui leaned over and whispered: "I saw that Mr. received a lot of books from outside, and there are seven books of martial arts. I heard that this is to be used in the martial arts examination, and Carpenter Liu of the workshop seems to be preparing to give us some new teaching materials at this moment. ”

"Ah, I have to add textbooks. How much useless schoolwork will be added to that, Uncle Fifteen is really not annoying. I think it's enough to teach us to read and practice martial arts, and don't all of us here want to be martial arts champions, doesn't he feel distressed when he wastes so much paper and ink. "More textbooks means more schoolwork, which is not good news for them as students. Although Zhang Zhaoliang has the idea of joining the army when he grows up, he does not plan to take the martial arts examination.

"It seems that there is more to the martial arts test, and there is more to add "The Legend of a Hundred Generals" and "University" or something. I've heard that people who take the martial arts exam have to read books for more than ten years, just because there are so many things to learn. Liu Sikui continued to add fuel to the fire and told everything he had heard.

When Zhang Zhaoliang heard that it would take more than ten years, he looked at the whip marks on his hands. Thinking of such a long time, I don't know how many boards I have to suffer from Uncle Fifteen, so I said to Zhang Shuangxi with a wail: "Brother Xizi, do we really have to stay in the school for so long." At that time, the surrounding thieves will be wiped out by the eighth and ninth uncles, where else can we go to make contributions. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhaoliang's question, Zhang Shuangxi said nonchalantly: "When we reach the age of seventeen, we will go to my father (Zhang Mengjin) to serve as a soldier." Brother Danzi (Li Dan) doesn't have to study when he is seventeen years old, so we should be about the same. ”

"But Brother Bao'er (Guan Yuze) will be seventeen years old this year, and I haven't heard that he is going to the military fort in the north. It seems that his family plans to let him read some more books, and they also want the fifteenth uncle to take him to the martial arts exam in the future. It's just that I heard that there are many people who ask Lord Bingxian for a reward for a recommended place to participate in the martial arts, and I don't know if the eighth uncle is going to arrive. ”

Although Brother Xizi mentioned the example of Brother Danzi to reassure himself, Zhang Zhaoliang still raised the worries in his heart after seeing Guan Yuze, who was not far away.

Liu Sikui also added: "Most of the soldiers agreed, and Mr. often taught Brother Bao'er the things in the soldiers' books in private. I have also seen Brother Bao'er ask Mr. for advice with his homework, and there are not only many words in it, but also many runes and some sketches that Mr. taught him. Just when Brother Xizi went to Ningsai for the New Year, many people saw it. ”

"Yes, Brother Bao'er seems to have been following Uncle Fifteen after class recently, and it seems that he will be asked to write a lot of other homework every day, which must be what to teach those martial arts to learn." The relationship between Zhang Zhaoliang and Guan Yuze is also good, although Guan Yuze has never said what he has been busy with recently, but Zhang Zhaoliang can still know that it is related to something taught by the fifteenth uncle.

Liu Sikui saw that Zhang Zhaoliang agreed with his words very much, so he mentioned a few pieces of information that he knew, and guessed Mr. Zhang's thoughts in depth with Zhang Zhaoliang.
