"Martial arts?" Zhao Yi suddenly remembered something, and hesitated for a moment: "Meng Deran gave the book, but there is no way to repay it, how about I teach you a few spear techniques?" He seemed to be afraid that Liu Xiu would say that he was a philistine, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I was reluctant before, it's really that my Zhao family's spear technique is a little weird, and it is not beautiful for ordinary people to learn it." ”

As soon as he heard that he could learn the spear method handed down by the Zhao family, Liu Xiu was ecstatic, he has made great progress in his kung fu now, and he has some skill in foot shooting, but Dunwu did not teach him kung fu immediately, Gongsun Zan was in a hurry again, he had not had time to learn how to use the spear from him, if he could learn the spear method of the Zhao family, it would be of course great.

"Just let me know beforehand." Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Xiu's overjoyed look, and quickly explained: "My spear method is actually not a pure spear method, but a halberd method, but the current halberd is very different from the previous halberd in Qin, and there are many subtleties that may not be used." My family is a broom cherished by itself, and I have always been reluctant to throw it away, so compared with the common spear method, it is a little ...... Well, it's a bit hard to learn. He said with a smile: "There was once a Xiliang man who came all the way to study, and after only a few days of study, he said that my Zhao family's spear method is a sacrificial vessel, which is more suitable for performing at the big festival, and it is not practical, so I left halfway." ”

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, there was really such a stupid person, and he actually said that Zhao Yun's spear technique was useless.

"What is the name of the Xiliang people?"

Zhao Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered: "It seems to be ...... It's called Zhang Ji. ”

Liu Xiu's smile suddenly froze on his face. Zhang Ji? This name is very familiar, by the way, it seems that Dong Zhuo's general, it is said that his martial arts are quite good, and his nephew Zhang Xiu is even more awesome, known as the king of guns in the north. He...... Studied martial arts in the Zhao family?

Zhao Yi saw Liu Xiu's surprise on his face, and pushed him: "Deran? ”

Liu Xiu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly asked, "You just said that this is a halberd method?" Is there any difference between a halberd and a spear? ”

Zhao Yi smiled proudly: "Of course there is a difference. Compared with the halberd method, the spear method is much simpler, there are only stabs, picks, plucks, smashes and so on, and the halberd method also has cutting, chopping, pecking, hooking all kinds of exquisite techniques, but now the halberd is almost the same as the spear, and most of those techniques are not used. ”

Zhao Yi saw that Liu Xiu was still confused, so he took a branch and drew a sketch of the ancient halberd and the halberd that is commonly used now on the ground, and explained it in detail, and Liu Xiu understood a little. The ancient halberd that Zhao Yi said is the kind of halberd with a side blade, but the current halberd is only one more thorn than the spear, in fact, the effect is not much different from the spear, not only the structure is simple, but also the use method is much simpler, and the usage on many ancient halberds is really not used.

"Since the ancient halberd has so many exquisite techniques, and its lethality is far greater than that of the spear, why has the ancient halberd been lost and become what it is now?" Liu Xiu asked puzzled.

Zhao Yi smiled: "Although the ancient halberd is exquisite, it is also very difficult to practice, firstly, the halberd head is much heavier, and it is difficult to achieve Ruyi without enough arm strength, and secondly, those unique techniques are quite demanding, if you don't practice well, not only can you not play the wonders, but it will delay the effect of the attack, which is why Zhang Ji said that this kind of martial art is a sacrificial weapon." ”

Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

"Deran, it's up to you whether you learn it or not, I don't force it, to be honest, there are really not many people who can really use this halberd method now." Zhao Yi said very frankly: "I suggest that you learn the halberd may be more practical, the Zhang family in Hejian has only learned the halberd, and their halberd is now a famous Hebei elite soldier." ”

Liu Xiu turned his head and laughed: "That's not possible, I have to learn both the halberd and the halberd, and I won't let go of any of them." If you can't use it, you can't use it, at least it's original. Since I have studied the ancient scriptures, of course I have to learn the ancient halberd, you can rest assured, after I learn well, I will deliberately go to fight an ancient halberd, and when the time comes, I will go to the battlefield and pick it out, it will be so special. ”

Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile, and looked at Liu Xiu and smiled.

In the next few days, Zhao Yi taught Liu Xiu his family's halberd method, Liu Xiu found that the use of this ancient halberd is ancient and complicated, and it is difficult to master the essence of it without long-term hard practice, and the requirements for arm strength and eyesight are very high, just to identify the direction of the halberd is not an easy task. The handle of the spear is round, there is no problem of direction, but the handle of the halberd is flat, and it is really a good requirement to distinguish the direction of the halberd aid by the feel of the halberd in the action.

In addition, the halberd head is about twice as heavy as the spearhead, the halberd is a little better, the halberd is held with both hands, the halberd rod is about one zhang, although it is difficult to run up, it is not always out of reach, but the halberd of the halberd is as long as two zhang, and the halberd is the bamboo tree with the surname of the bullet, swaying and leisurely, at this time you can clearly feel that the halberd is not easy to control, the halberd is not more than a foot, if you want to use the blade to push or hook the enemy, this requires very precise distance control.

If you also consider the complexity and cost of the process of making this halberd head, then you can understand that the demise of this ancient halberd is expected. However, Liu Xiu didn't want to be a general, and he didn't need to train a large number of soldiers, just to satisfy his vanity - this ancient halberd method is not only exquisite and clumsy, but even the posture is ancient etiquette, which looks ancient and very stylish - don't worry about these differences.

The halberd method is very complicated, even though Liu Xiu has extraordinary eyesight and arm strength, and has the perseverance not to be afraid of repetition and repetition, it still took him a long time to initially grasp the essentials explained by Zhao Yi. However, Zhao Yi was full of praise for his progress, saying that he was simply fast, and if time came, it should not be a problem to catch up with Zhao Yun, which made Liu Xiu a little smug.

Lu Min stayed in Juyong Pass for nearly half a month, and finally set off again and went straight to Shanggu County to govern Fuyang. Fuyang is less than 100 miles away from Juyongguan, and the car is simple, and it will arrive in one day. After staying in Juyong Pass for so long, climbing the mountain with Lu Min every day to see the terrain, those young people's initial enthusiasm had already been almost consumed, and they couldn't wait to leave early, but they were just embarrassed to speak. It was not until they arrived outside Fuyang City that they looked at the bustling flow of people, and they finally became excited again and hurried towards the city gate at a faster pace.

Looking at the screaming teenagers, Lu Min shook his head reservedly and said nothing with a smile. When Liu He saw it, he also felt a little the same way, they all relied on their identities and refused to reveal their feelings like everyone else.

Shanggu Taishou Gong Shafu had already received the news and sent troops Cao Peng Xian Yuyin to meet him. Xian Yu Yinzi Boyu (note), is a person from Shanggu Xianyu's family, he is very young, he looks like twenty-five or six, with white skin and medium stature, not like a martial artist, but like a scholar.

"Lord Taishou heard that you have come to Kamiya for your apprenticeship, and I appreciate it very much, so let me accompany you throughout the process." Xian Yuyin explained politely: "I am from Shanggu, and I have been a soldier in the county for three years, so I am a little familiar with the situation. ”
