Because Cao Yin disobeyed the holy decree and rebelled, he was discovered by the state soldiers in time, his rebellion failed, Cao Yin's family committed suicide in fear of crime, and Zhang Yishun ascended to the post of Wuling County Guard.

With the help of Huang Zhong's state soldiers, Zhang Yi also quickly took control of the Wuling County soldiers, Huang Zhong purged Cao Yin's cronies in the county soldiers, and transferred a group of officers from the state soldiers to enrich the Wuling County soldiers.

Fortunately, Wang Heng came back in time, and as soon as he came back, he immediately asked the state soldiers to monitor the county soldiers' barracks, and captured Caofu as quickly as possible, so that the county soldiers never figured out what was going on, and they didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise, if these thousands of county soldiers made a mess, it would be a big disaster.

Zheng Tai only stayed in Hanshou for one night, and the next day he took Zhang Ying and others back to Luoyang, and he had to report what happened here to the general He Jin.

With a gun in his hand, Zhang Yi's waist is also exceptionally straight, after he took office, the county officials were also screened and cleaned, all Cao Yin's henchmen, who had bad deeds on their hands, were arrested and imprisoned by him, or repulsed, and then recruited scholars to enrich the county government.

At this time, the scholars in Wang Heng's hands who were recommended by Mao Sui played a role, and Zhang Yi only needed to follow the map and select the best ones one by one.

On the day of Cao Yin's arrest, the people of Hanshou didn't know what was going on, and they were panicked and closed their doors, Zhang Yi immediately posted a notice of peace after controlling the situation, which stated that the former Taishou Cao Yin was arrested by the Holy Order because of corruption and perversion of the law, and was arrested by the Holy Order.

When the Qianshou people in Hanshou City knew what happened, they suddenly became excited, and some people even put up lanterns and beat gongs and drums, why? Because Cao Yin was too harmful when he was in office! Now that his family has come to such an end, it is really a joyous thing.

After a short period of emotional fluctuations, Wang Heng quickly returned to normal, and followed Huang Zhong to practice martial arts as usual that night, which also relieved Huang Zhong, who had always been worried about him.

Today, Wang Heng killed no less than ten people with his own hands with a knife, and this kind of mental impact is not comparable to the last time he killed people with a long-distance sniper with a bow.

Of course, Wang Heng also knows that in this troubled world, he will have to pass this hurdle sooner or later, so this time is also a test he gave himself.

But later, Cao Yin, Cao Ze, father and son killed his whole family with their own hands, and even the children of a few years old fell in a pool of blood, this scene was too much of a test of Wang Heng's psychological endurance, after all, he came from a civilized society, and he couldn't accept such a massacre of innocent women and children, and these women and children were slaughtered because of him, so he had a strong sense of psychological discomfort.

He also knew that this discomfort could only be adjusted by himself, and no one could help him, so when he returned home, he washed the blood from his body, and locked himself in his room, not even eating dinner.

Of course, Wang Heng knew that in such a troubled world, such a thing could not be avoided, and in order to completely avoid such a thing, it was necessary to bring the troubled times into peace through guò war.

The problem is that he knows the truth, but it is difficult to get around this bend, and when he closes his eyes, he thinks of the women and children who are lying in a pool of blood.

In the end, Wang Heng still walked out on his own, but he set a bottom line for himself in his heart, no matter where he goes in the future, he can't get lost in the killing, especially he must not kill innocent women and children by his own hands or by order.

When Wang Heng came to the backyard of Huang Zhong's house in the evening, Huang Zhong saw that Wang Heng's heart was gone, and he was relieved, in fact, for Huang Zhong, he is not a person who loves to kill, and today's Wang Heng's expression also shows the way of forgiveness in his heart, which is in line with Huang Zhong's values.

As soon as Wang Heng began to stand on the pile today, Huang Zhong felt that his state was a little different from usual, and there was a faint sign of a breakthrough, Huang Zhong couldn't help but have a kind of expectation, originally he expected that with Wang Heng's qualifications, it should take at least seven or eight months to make a breakthrough, reaching the stage of Xiaocheng, but I didn't expect to reach the edge of breakthrough so quickly, you must know that since Wang Heng followed Huang Zhong to practice martial arts, it has been less than half a year.

However, this is also very understandable, Wang Heng has excellent qualifications, practiced hard, and experienced two battles in a row in the past two months, Huang Zhong's martial arts was originally battlefield martial arts, the more he experienced the battlefield, the easier it was to break through, Wang Heng was the first time to experience the battle formation, and the accumulation was thicker, the so-called thick accumulation and thin hair, this is the truth.

Under Huang Zhong's expectant gaze, Wang Heng finally completed the breakthrough, this is a qualitative breakthrough, his true qi has not only become as thick as a pencil lead, but also more condensed in quality, flowing in his meridians, bubbling like water, strengthening his meridians and **, as well as his five senses.

Wang Heng opened his eyes, he found that he was already able to see the incense head more than a hundred steps away in the faint starlight, and he knew why Huang Zhong was able to practice such a divine arrow, with such eyesight, it was naturally much easier than others to hit the target.

He also felt that his strength had risen to another level, and his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength.

In Huang Zhong's eyes, Wang Heng's temperament has also changed qualitatively, there seems to be a layer of fluorescence on his skin, and he is more calm and introverted.

Huang Zhong smiled and handed Wang Heng a two-stone bow, Wang Heng tried to pull it, and the two-stone bow that he used to need to spend a lot of effort to pull apart can now be pulled away relatively easily.

Wang Heng couldn't help but be overjoyed, this proved that his true qi had become a small success, and sure enough, Huang Zhong said with a smile: "Shuping, your progress is beyond the expectations of the teacher!" You've got a little success! ”

Wang Heng respectfully bowed to Huang Zhong and said, "Thank you, Master, for your success!" ”

He really wanted to thank Huang Zhong, from the first day he followed Huang Zhong to learn martial arts, Huang Zhong accompanied him every night, corrected his posture, massaged his overworked muscles and bones, and channeled the true qi that had problems in the direction of his flow, ensuring that he could practice martial arts wholeheartedly and not go wrong, could such a master find a second one?

If it weren't for Huang Zhong, Wang Heng would not have been able to achieve such a speed of progress.

Huang Zhong looked at this apprentice happily, he did have great expectations for Wang Heng, and Wang Heng's appearance also made him extremely satisfied.

However, Huang Zhong's joy and satisfaction were only in his eyes, and his voice was still very stern: "From today onwards, your knife will be replaced with fifty catties, and your bow will be replaced with one stone and five buckets." ”

Wang Heng said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Huang Zhong said again: "Since your true qi has already achieved a small success, I can also say some things to you." My Huang family's true qi realm is divided into five layers, and what you have reached now is the first layer, and there are four layers of realm behind it. To reach the second level, it takes twice as long as you reach the first level, and each subsequent level takes twice as long as the previous level. ”

Wang Heng couldn't swallow his tongue when he heard it, he roughly calculated, according to what Huang Zhong said at the beginning, with his own talent, he can become a small success within a year, that is, to advance to the first layer, it takes one year, then the second layer will take two years, the third layer will take four years, the fourth layer will take eight years, and the fifth layer will take sixteen years, a total of thirty-one years, and he will be in his forties by then.

And according to Huang Zhong, his talent is already one in ten thousand, so wouldn't those who have bad talent be able to reach more than the fourth layer in a lifetime?

Huang Zhong continued: "You have now reached the first layer, you can already be compared with the ordinary generals, reaching more than two layers, most ordinary generals are no longer your opponents, reaching the third layer, you can be called a general, reaching the fourth layer, you are ten thousand enemies, if you reach the fifth layer, you can ......"

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong shook his head: "I haven't seen the realm of the fifth layer, it is said that the ancestor who founded this martial art has reached it, and at that time he was already invincible in the world!" ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong's face showed a look of fascination, as if he was remembering the divine power of his ancestors.

Wang Heng couldn't help asking, "Master, what realm are you in now?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Being a teacher is now in the middle of the fourth layer, but if you want to advance to the fifth layer, it is also unattainable, not only the accumulation of time, but also some opportunities and understanding. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong said proudly: "It is the middle of the fourth layer, and today, there must be only a few people who can compete with the teacher." ”

Wang Heng nodded, as far as he knew, there were only a few people who could be compared with Huang Zhong in terms of force today, such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Yu, Dian Wei, Sun Ce, etc., and at the peak of Huang Zhong's prime, he was not afraid of any generals in the world.

Thinking of this, Wang Heng couldn't help but rejoice, how lucky he was to be able to get Huang Zhong's allegiance in his prime, and even more to be able to pass on his mastery!

Huang Zhong actually didn't say a word, he had the highest expectations for Wang Heng, he hoped that Wang Heng could become another person who had reached the fifth level of the realm since the founding of the ancestor of this martial arts, in his opinion, with Wang Heng's qualifications, he was the most hopeful person to achieve this goal. Of course, he wouldn't say it directly to Wang Heng, lest Wang Heng have too many distractions.

Next, Huang Zhong said to Wang Heng: "Shuping, from today onwards, as a teacher, I can teach you swordsmanship, and you can also start archery." ”

Listening to Huang Zhong's words, Wang Heng was overjoyed, although he had no complaints about wielding a knife and opening a bow every day, but this was too boring after all, and he really wanted to learn Huang Zhong's knife and archery skills.

Wang Heng said diligently: "Thank you, Master!" ”

Huang Zhong looked at Wang Heng's face full of joy, and his always unsmiling face couldn't help but show a faint smile.

**********

When Wang Heng returned to Wuling, Zheng Xuan's academy had already been set up, which was set up with the assistance of Huanjie, and the location was in the Temple of Literature in Hanshou City.

The Confucian Temple is located in the north of the county, not far from the Thorn History Mansion, located on a low hill, is a grand building, according to legend, it is built by a Wuling Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty, used to worship Confucius, he also taught students here, and later became the county school of Wuling, but now no one teaches here, just simply play the function of the Confucian Temple.

Now, since Zheng Xuan has come here, this place will naturally be fully utilized, and he has set up a academy here, called Hanshou Academy.

Zheng Xuan's reputation is so high, his academy has just been opened, there are many scholars, boys come to worship Zheng Xuan as a teacher, Zheng Xuan in line with the sage's precepts of teaching without class, do not refuse any person who apprentices, but most of the newly accepted disciples Zheng Xuan will not teach in person, they are all let their disciples to teach, unless they are particularly talented, he will teach in person, but at present, there are very few new disciples who can let him teach in person.

Zheng Xuan is not pretentious in doing this, after all, he is over sixty years old, his energy is limited, and he still has to write books and speak, it is impossible to teach so many disciples in person, and he will also give lectures to all disciples regularly, that is, take big lectures.

After Wang Heng came back, Zheng Xuan checked the homework he had assigned to him before leaving, and Wang Heng did a very good job, which made Zheng Xuan very satisfied, Wang Heng's self-learning ability and self-control are too good, a disciple of his age, Zheng Xuan, who can do this Cheng dù, is still the only one in his life.

Wang Heng asked Zheng Xuan if he had received a disciple with outstanding talent during this time, Zheng Xuan shook his head and said: "A disciple like you is not so easy to meet, but there is a boy whose talent is quite good, and I will teach it myself." ”

Wang Heng asked, "What is the name of this boy?" Where are the people? ”

Zheng Xuandao: "It's from this county, named Pan Jun, who is six or seven years old this year, and has already read the Analects. ”

"Pan Jun?" Wang Heng felt that this name was more familiar, it seemed that there was such a number one person among the important ministers of Wu State later, but he didn't know where he was from, could it be this Pan Jun?

However, Wang Heng will soon not be entangled, as long as he is indeed a talent, then whether he is the Pan Jun or not, what does it matter?

Speaking of this, Wang Heng remembered Pang Tong, and he said to Zheng Xuan with a smile: "On the way to this expedition, the disciple met a boy with outstanding talent in Xiangyang. ”

As soon as Zheng Xuan heard that there was a boy with outstanding talent, he immediately became interested, and he asked, "Who is this boy's surname?" How old is Fang? Who do you read with? ”

Wang Heng said: "This boy is the nephew of Xiangyang Pang Degong, named Pang Tong, who is eight years old this year. We met him at the house of the Duke of Pound, and he asked me about the number of monks. ”

Zheng Xuan asked, "Did you sue him?" ”

Wang Heng said: "I only told him once, and he understood everything, and later explained it to his younger brother Pang Lin and Pang Degong's son Pang Shanmin." ”

Zheng Xuan clearly knows the difficulty of the arithmetic problem, a seven or eight-year-old boy, if he can understand it after listening to it once, he can really be called a genius. He asked, "Can this son study?" How do you think he's more talented than you? ”

Wang Heng said: "Pang Tong studied with Pang Degong, and he has read a lot of books, this time I went to Xiangyang, he also questioned me, asked whether the printing technology was created by me, and asked me whether I robbed others of the credit!" ”

Zheng Xuan doesn't like to be a disciple of dead reading, he himself is an eclectic person who does learning, otherwise he would not have broken the gateway view of modern literature and ancient literature and classics, and founded Zheng Xue, who integrates various schools of thought in one furnace, as soon as he heard about Pang Tong, he fell in love with this boy.

Zheng Xuan said regretfully: "It's a pity, he has already studied with Pang Degong, but Pang Degong is also a celebrity, so he will not be delayed." ”

Wang Heng understands Zheng Xuan's mood, but all those who teach and educate people want to get the world's talents and teach them, and the melancholy can be imagined when he hears that such a talented boy can't be accepted under the door.

Wang Heng comforted: "Teacher, there must be more talented disciples who will join the teacher's disciple in the future." ”

Zheng Xuan also knew that this was Wang Heng's words to comfort him, he nodded and smiled: "I hope so!" ”

What Zheng Xuan didn't know was that Wang Heng was telling the truth, at least in a few years, Zhuge Liang would most likely come to Jingzhou, at that time, Zhuge Liang would be under Zheng Xuan's sect It was almost certain that he would be subordinate, and his talent would at least not be inferior to Pang Tong.

Zheng Xuan asked about the specific situation of Wang Heng's Nanyang rebellion this time, Wang Heng told him one by one, and when he heard the pleasure, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but applaud: "These chaotic ministers and thieves, kill them well!" ”

Although Zheng Xuan was not a leader all his life, he still agreed with the rule of the Han Dynasty, so what he hated the most was Zhao Ci's rebellion, and he was naturally happy to hear that Zhao Ci was beheaded by Deng Zhan.

Wang Heng is embarrassed, if he becomes a "chaotic minister and thief" who does not obey the orders of the court in the future, I don't know what kind of reaction the old gentleman will have.

However, Zheng Xuan is not the kind of pedantic person, after a few years, the world will be in chaos, he can naturally see that the Han Dynasty is exhausted, as long as he governs Jingzhou well, he must not be too resistant!

When Zheng Xuan heard the court's reward for Wang Ei, Wang Ei was also very happy for Wang Ei when he was crowned a marquis with the military merits of recovering the emperor's hometown, in this era, the marquis is the ultimate goal of most scholars, and Wang Ei has now been enthroned, it can be said that it is already a glorious Wang lintel.

What's even more gratifying is that Wang Heng also has a son Wang Heng who is better than him, in Zheng Xuan's view, Wang Heng's future achievements will be higher than Wang Heng's, and he has begun to look forward to the grand occasion of Wang's family and two marquis.

When the master and apprentice talked about this battle to defeat Cao Yin, Zheng Xuan made a quick decision on Wang Heng's opportunity, and he was also impressed by the attack of thousands of miles, he thought that Wang Heng's vision and determination in this battle can already be compared with the world's famous generals, and he said meaningfully: "Your family already has a Linyi Hou, and I am afraid that there will be a champion Hou in the future!" ”
