In the autumn of the third year of Zhongxing, the Tuliao people broke through the north gate again and entered the Kou, and the Beining defense line that Yuan Chuizhong painstakingly managed was easily broken by the Tuliao people like cutting tofu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yuan Chuizhong himself disappeared as soon as the Tuliao people broke through, and the time of his disappearance was so coincidental with the time when the Tuliao people broke through the pass, as if it had been premeditated. To the north of Zhongshen City, the local leaders and envoys carefully cultivated by the emperor all supported troops to protect themselves, and they were only willing to keep their own cities, and they would never send troops to fight the Tuliao people. More than 100,000 Tuliao cavalry were in the land of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, as if they were in a no-man's land, and they killed all the way to the city of Zhongshen.

In the autumn of the third year of Zhongxing, on the same day that the Tuliao people broke through, Weibei Camp, "Master...... Master ......" Li De rushed into the old doctor Sun's room as soon as he shouted loudly, and when he entered the room, he found that the three generals were also here with the master, and instantly restrained the smile on his face, stopped his steps, and Li Deyi bowed down first. Mr. Li said with a smile: "It's Xiao Lizi, I heard your movements from afar?" Why are you so happy today? Li Deyi glanced at the master, raised his voice and said, "I took that egg off today!" ”

"Eggs? What eggs? Paid it back? It's a pity to fall to the ground, don't be blind, pick it up and eat it. Mr. Han said with a look of pity. Old Doctor Sun's face turned red, and he said to his little apprentice: "For the master to know, you go to your senior brother, and he will arrange it." Let's go quickly, there are still important matters to discuss with a few generals here. Li De retreated a little bit, and General Han's instructions sounded behind him: "Little Lizi!" It's okay if the eggs fall to the ground, pick up the clean ones in your hands and keep them for the noodles to eat, and the dirty lead pigs to lick them, don't spoil the good things. Master Sun Lao Doctor whispered words of praise, but Li Deyi didn't hear it at all, "The old man asked him to stare at the eggs, and he stared at them honestly for three years. ”

Li De rushed all the way to find Dr. Xiao Liu without looking back. Medical Officer Xiao Liu was busy concocting medicinal materials at this time, and he heard the movement from his junior brother from a long distance. In the autumn wind, Li Deyi's little face was flushed, and he was full of excitement, and his mouth was still shouting: "Senior brother, senior brother, the egg has fallen." Doctor Liu had long forgotten about the egg hanging three years ago, and wondered, "What egg?" Li Deyi ran to Doctor Xiao Liu, took a deep breath, relieved his breath, and said loudly: "It's the one hanging on the beam of my room!" After listening to Li Deyi's words, Medical Officer Xiao Liu remembered, and then looked surprised, staring at his junior brother for a long time without saying a word.

Li Deyi was a little hairy when he was looked at by his senior brother for half a day, and he couldn't help coughing and asked his senior brother to come back to his senses. Doctor Xiao Liu said lightly: "That egg should have stinked in the past three years." Li Deyi didn't expect his senior brother to ask such a question first, and wanted to speak, but he was choked by his own saliva, coughed for a long time, Li De's face was red and said: "The first egg smelled after hanging for more than ten days, and I was smoked by this smell for a few days before I found out that the egg was stinky." Later, I had to often change to a new egg to hang, and I didn't eat less eggs in the past three years, and if I couldn't eat it, I would give it to the "Hummer...... Senior brother, the egg has fallen! "Huh? If you drop it, hang it up again, what's wrong? ”

Li De saw that his senior brother hadn't remembered it, and couldn't help but say: "Master said at the beginning, when did I get rid of this egg, and my harmony realm will be cultivated." I went to find Master just now, and Master asked me to come back to you. Doctor Liu had already forgotten his original joke at this time, and raised his voice and asked, "Did Master really say that?" "Well, I remember Qingqing." Doctor Xiao Liu turned his head and complained in a voice that only he could hear: "I don't cultivate old, I'm so old, and I'm playing with my apprentice." ”

Li Deyi stepped forward and grabbed Medical Officer Xiao Liu and said, "Senior brother, you give me a word, can I succeed?" "Huh? Come with me and let me put it to the test. "Medical Officer Xiao Liu pulled the junior brother to the shooting range, asked the junior brother to stand in front of the target, took a pair of bows and arrows by himself, and walked fifty steps away to stand still." Later, you'll see if you can catch the arrows that are coming at you. "I know. Senior brother, you let me prepare, this time I am still a little trembling, I am a little excited. Li Deyi's voice sounded a little vibrato.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu shot three arrows in a row, and when he saw that his junior brother did not drop an arrow, he grabbed all the three arrows in his hand. Doctor Xiao Liu nodded, walked twenty steps forward, and said, "Can you catch it if you try again this time?" "I'm ready, come on." Whoosh, three arrows again, Li Deyi still caught it all in his hands this time. Doctor Liu didn't give Li Deyi any time to prepare, and quickly walked forward twenty steps, quickly opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow with a whoosh. Li Deyi had time to shout: "It's too close......" Before the rest of the words could be spoken, he stretched out his hands like lightning and caught the arrow again.

"Not bad, not bad. It is indeed in your hands, and it seems that your sea of knowledge is strong enough to quickly control your body to react. This can only be done when the harmony realm has been achieved, and then the next step is to try to promote the original qi to run along the meridians of the whole body to strengthen the muscles, bones, and muscles. This is the general cultivation method of the Qi Zhuang Realm, you come with me. Putting down the bow and arrows, Dr. Liu took Li Deyi back to his residence.

Dr. Xiao Liu asked Li Deyi to follow him into the house, and then he entered the inner room and began to rummage. It took a long time to find a yellowed pamphlet. Doctor Liu blew on the booklet, blowing off a layer of ash on the surface, which was so gray that Li Deyi and Doctor Liu coughed. Medical Officer Xiao Liu wiped the worn-out booklet with his hand, put it in front of Li Deyi, and casually took out a book with a relatively fine packaging from under the table and put it in front of Li Deyi.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu pointed to the two books on the table and said: "The dilapidated one was passed down to Master by Di Dashuai, and it is said that it is the cultivation experience of the Qi Zhuang Realm left by Taizu hundreds of years ago, and it has not been named yet, and future generations do not dare to name this book with great disapproval." Although this experience was written by Taizu himself, it is said that no one has successfully cultivated the Qi Zhuang Realm according to the method mentioned in this book for hundreds of years. The other book is now the most widely circulated "Qi Zhuang Sutra", you can take both copies back, as for how to repair it, you can choose it yourself. ”

Li Deyi looked up at Medical Officer Xiao Liu and asked seriously, "Senior brother, how did you cultivate in the first place?" Doctor Xiao Liu touched his head, as if he was recalling for a while, and then said slowly: "I was also young and vigorous at the beginning, and I chose Taizu's experience to practice. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to find that not only did the progress of this practice be slow, but the more I practiced, the more intense the pain became, and in the end, the pain attacked, and even fainted directly. In the end, I had no choice but to give up and start practicing according to the "Qi Zhuang Sutra". However, Master once told me that Taizu has never made mistakes or omissions in his life, and his words must be true, and his original qi cultivation is even more extraordinary. Taizu wrote this, there must be his unique and deep meaning. It's just that our descendants can't make it, so we can't comprehend the experience left by Taizu. According to legend, although Di Dashuai did not practice according to Taizu's experience, but benefited a lot from Taizu's experience, so after Dashuai entered the realm of Juwutong, his combat power was unmatched, and he was the first master of Tuliao at that time in the first fight, and someone in the national normal was injured and vomited blood. After Di Dashuai entered the transcendent realm when he was alive, he has always had a faint reputation as the first person in the world. ”

Li De nodded, and stretched out his hand to get the Taizu experience first. Medical Officer Xiao Liu held Li Deyi's hand and said, "Senior brother, you have to think about it, your cultivation of Yuan Qi is already a few years late, in case you don't succeed in the Qi Realm, if you continue to stumble, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Juwu Tong Realm in this life." And if you continue to practice according to this experience, the pain is unbearable for ordinary people. Li De blinked, waved his hands, copied the two books in his hands, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I must be careful." He didn't know that this experience was deliberately given to him by Old Medical Officer Sun.

What neither Doctor Liu nor Doctor Sun knew was that Li Deyi had been tormented by severe headaches almost every moment in the past three years, and only when he was exhausted and comatose from this pain at night, would he not feel the sharp pain in the sea of consciousness for the time being. The reason why Li Deyi endured it and didn't say it was because he was afraid that his master and brother would not let him continue to cultivate his original qi after they found out, not only could he not say it, but in front of people during the day, Li Deyi couldn't show a trace of pain at all, this huge pain was an unbearable burden for others, but for Li Deyi, it was just commonplace, and he had long been accustomed to it.

Three months have passed in a flash, and the thirteen-year-old Li Deyi is just growing his body, and his cultivation has just entered the realm of qi again, and in these three months, Li Deyi's body has undergone earth-shaking changes. First of all, the amount of food has increased again, and there was originally a lot of food, but now it has more than doubled, and once Li Deyi even ate one more big pancake than Wang Zhuangbiao. This made Wang Da Fat Man amazed, "Okay, it's almost time to catch up with the Sprinkle family after eating so much, so you can grow your strength, and you can go into battle as soon as possible to kill the Tuliao dog." After eating so many meals, Li Deyi's body is becoming thicker day by day, and he is no longer the hairy boy with thin arms and legs, he can't compare to the monster Wang Da Fat Man, compared to Little Medical Officer Liu, the arms and legs of the brothers are almost the same thickness, but there is still a piece of difference on the head.

Needless to say, there can be such a big change, it must be because Li Deyi practiced according to the experience left by Taizu. In fact, there was nothing special about the experience left by this Taizu, it was just that the cultivators of the Qi Zhuang Realm kept strengthening their bodies with their original qi repeatedly. Ordinary Qi Cultivation Realm, only once a day in the morning and evening, Taizu actually said that he should use the original qi to strengthen the body all the time, and in the end, even in his sleep, he was subconsciously pushing the original qi to run the whole body and strengthen the body. Such an overload will of course bring severe pain all over the body. Ordinary practitioners will find it difficult to endure this severe pain, and they will have doubts about the experience left by Taizu, and gradually they will give up this method of practice. This practice will greatly promote the strengthening of the body, and the body will grow taller and stronger, and of course it will require a lot of food to support the growth. Otherwise, it will waste the body, and eventually lead to the body's nutrition not keeping up, and the loss is too great and collapse.

This method of practice may seem simple, but it requires the practitioner to have enough concentration to do simple things once, to repeat them all the time, and to endure great pain, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Simple things are repeated countless times, for decades, and eventually they become a mountain of admiration. The so-called accumulation of soil into a mountain, to put it bluntly, is the most important thing to persevere. That's why the old doctor Sun told Li Deyi that the most important thing in cultivating the original qi is concentration, and if you can hold it, you can go far and go higher than others.

Seeing that his junior brother was getting stronger day by day, Medical Officer Liu finally relented and allowed Li De to try to exercise his strength at first. As a result, Li De played with the stone lock for the first time, and almost twisted his waist, and Dr. Xiao Liu rubbed him for two days to reduce the swelling. In the end, it was the old doctor Sun who found someone and arranged for Li Deyi to go to the sword and armor battalion of Weibei Camp as a blacksmith apprentice, and he was responsible for squatting next to the anvil every day, picking up a small iron hammer, and doing this steady job to temper his strength. At the beginning, he picked up a small hammer of two catties, Li Deyi and the realm have been passed, the hand-eye coordination is very accurate, and after learning for a while, he will pick the appearance well, and after a few days, the level will be as good as the old blacksmith who has been picking the hammer for decades. Old Medical Officer Sun turned around and arranged for someone to build several hammers for Li Deyi from light to heavy, and asked Medical Officer Xiao Liu to hand them over to him.

On this day, Medical Officer Xiao Liu called his junior brother to him, pointed to these hammers and said: "The master said, you don't need to use this two-pound hammer for two months, then make this four-pound hammer for half a year, then this ten-pound for a year, and finally this twenty-pound for a year." Li De glanced at the twenty-pound sledgehammer, swallowed his saliva and said: "The biggest one is bigger than the old blacksmith Zhang's sledgehammer, is it necessary......" Xiao Liu Medical Officer stretched out his hand and gave Li De a head and said: "They are ordinary people, and they are naturally different from you if they have not cultivated the original qi." You will have to achieve great things in the future, and of course you will not be like them. Look at your unproductive appearance, if it weren't for your clumsiness, you twisted your waist as soon as you played with the stone lock, and made a fuss, why would Master do this. ”

Li Deyi covered his head and stared at his senior brother with tears in his eyes, and said, "Senior brother, why do you hurt more and more when you fight, I reacted so quickly, why can't I hide?" Doctor Xiao Liu smiled and said, "This is your senior brother and my unique skill, and you can pay it back if you dodge it." I missed two fingers just now, even if you kid and Hejing are doing well. Li Deyi put his fingers on the door of his head and measured it, and found that he really missed two fingers, and then broke into a smile, "Senior brother, I still have progress, hahaha......" Dr. Liu pointed to a few hammers on the table and said, "Take these hammers back and practice slowly." ”

As soon as Li De picked up these hammers and walked out, as soon as he reached the door, he heard a soldier shouting outside: "There is an urgent military situation, the little medical officer and the little medical officer hurry to the staff camp." When the soldier had finished shouting this, he hurried to the next place. Li Deyi turned his head to look at his senior brother, and Dr. Liu said, "You go back and put down the hammer first, and I'll wait for you here." Li Deyi promised: "Okay, senior brother, you can wait for me." Turning his head and running back, just two steps away, the two catties of the smallest hammer slipped out of Li Deyi's arms, and just smashed on Li Deyi's face, Li Deyi sighed, picked up the hammer, and ran back with a limp leg.

"It's really underbeaten, such an adult, and frizzy." Doctor Xiao Liu saw that his junior brother was making trouble again, and he couldn't help grinning and muttering.

In order to take care of Old Doctor Sun, the barracks of the staff camp were built next door to the house next door to Old Doctor Sun's house. After waiting for a while, Han and Qian also hurried over.

Li General looked at all the people, so he opened his mouth first: "I received news from Feiying that the Tuliao people are besieging Zhongshen City this time, and the situation is very critical. There are no generals in the city who can lead the army, and there is no soldiers and horses who can fight, and Zhongshen City is now in danger. Mr. Han immediately asked, "Have our people withdrawn?" Mr. Li nodded, "I have already withdrawn from the city and have been hidden in the mountains near Gyeonggi, and this time the military information was sent from the mountains." Mr. Qian said: "We have to think of something, we can't watch the Tuliao people capture Zhongshen City like this, although it is a matter of time or time." The old doctor Sun said slowly: "Zhongshen City is difficult to hold this time, three years ago, the Zhong family of the Western Army was all martyred, and the soldiers were destroyed by more than seventy percent. ”

Mr. Li said sadly: "Then you can't just look at it like this, you have to do something." Han Jiang asked: "The Tuliao people have just unified the grassland, this time to join the Kou for the sake of competition, I am afraid that they will do their best, and all the young people who can get on the horse have all been brought, yes or no?" Qian nodded and said: "The Tuliao people should do their best to strike, this is a battle to destroy the country, and there is no room for any mistakes." The old doctor Sun diverted the conversation and said: "The news from the grassland, after the founding of the Tuliao people, actually imitated our Pingzhou Dynasty to establish a system, this time I am afraid that the idea of completely occupying this fertile land in the Pingzhou Dynasty is to completely occupy this Pingzhou Dynasty." Li Jiang's eyes were already red at this time, although he had long known that the imperial court would not last long, and at this moment when his family and country were shattered, as a soldier, he still couldn't suppress the strong grief and indignation in his heart.

Li Jiang said in a changed voice: "We have to think of a way to do something, we have to think of a way...... Old Doctor Sun lowered his voice and said: "In the past three years, we have accumulated a total of 1,500 people, if we pull the King of Zhongshen City, I am afraid that it will not be enough to stuff the teeth of the Tuliao people." The Tuliao people claimed to be 400,000 horses this time, and excluding the miscellaneous soldiers, there were only more than 200,000 capable soldiers. After a pause, the old doctor Sun continued: "Let's do it again, the Tuliao people have pulled all the young and strong into the pass this time, and only the old and weak will be left on the grassland." We might as well go directly to the grassland, and maybe it can play a role. Li looked at the other two generals, and saw that there was no better way for the two, so he thought for a while, nodded slowly and said, "That's all it takes." Light up the people, let's set off today, we can't delay for a moment, the sooner the wolf smoke on the grassland ignites, the more life can be left in Zhongshen City. This time, Lao Han and Lao Qian will go together, you will bring a thousand people, and I will sit at home with Sun Junshi to guard the palace. ”

Mr. Qian shook his head and said: "No, this Dingbei County is our foundation, if the army is lost, we won't even have a home, absolutely not, I don't want to live that kind of life of wandering around." General Han also helped: "Let's just have such a few people, even if we all go to the grassland, we can't do anything big, at most we just harass it." It's better to leave more people to watch the house, this time the Tuliao people are prepared, they must have siege equipment, there are not many cities near us that have not been breached, in case the Tuliao people come, it will be a bad thing. The two generals shook their heads again and again, disagreeing to send out so many people.

The old doctor Sun sighed with emotion: "It's better to live a tight life, this Dingbei County is already the limit of raising 1,500 people and horses, and no more people and horses can be drawn." Let's send out 500 people this time, we all have such an idea, and we can't make any big waves on the grassland, and a few hundred more people will not help. But Dingbei County must not afford to lose, this is our future fundamental. As he spoke, the old doctor Sun patted Li Jiang's shoulder and said, "Old brother, I know what you mean, you want to try your best to contribute to the imperial court, but our brothers are also human beings, if the imperial court can have a glimmer of hope to save it, we will also fight for twelve points of strength." But this time the court is obviously hopeless, but if there is salvation, three years ago will not sit idly by and watch the small general die in the city, the old general was framed by Xiaoxiao, imprisoned, sentenced to defend the city is unfavorable, and the autumn queen asks to behead. What we can do now is to try to survive in the following troubled times. If you can have the spare strength to protect the people of this county from being ruined, it will also be a great merit. ”

Mr. Li knew that his previous proposal was very impulsive, and Mr. Sun and the two generals were right, but they still couldn't hold back their tears. When the tears fell to the ground, Mr. Li gritted his teeth and said: "The school has military horses, grain and grass, and dry food to be served!" Let's send 500 men into the grassland. ”

After the master finished discussing, Li Deyi followed the master and begged for a thousand things, so that he could get the opportunity to fight with him this time. Medical Officer Xiao Liu knew that this time it was not so simple, and it was likely to encounter a large force of cavalry from the Tuliao people, which was too dangerous, but he couldn't stand the rolling of his junior brother. In desperation, he had to leave the master alone and accompany his younger brother into battle.

In the evening of the same day, the Weibei battalion quickly assembled 500 elite soldiers, all of whom were elites composed of veterans of the Weibei battalion, pulled all the horses that could be ridden, and went out of the city along the main road to the northern grassland. In order to take the expedition by surprise, they did not bring more grain wagons at all, and each person only carried seven days' grain on his body, and then he relied on the grassland to feed the war and plunder supplies. As for the forage for the war horses, the grassland is very fertile in autumn, and the horses can be fed everywhere. The group had been gone for less than an hour before it was dark.

In order to catch the Liao people off guard, General Han ordered to march overnight, and be sure to see the grassland before dawn. In the middle of the night, Li Deyi was riding on the back of a "Humvee" and following Medical Officer Xiao Liu, when suddenly a military order came from the front, all of them were hidden, and the war horses were going to lie down. Li Deyi asked Senior Brother in a low voice: "Senior Brother, have you met the Tuliao people?" Doctor Xiao Liu pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, his eyes staring at the distance not far away.

Gradually, the sound of crying came into Li Deyi's ears, and it was the crying of many people.
