Wang Heng said: "Without further ado, Huang Bingcao also has to quickly follow Mr. Zhang's prescription and give Ling Lang medicine every day, one day earlier, one day earlier." ”

Huang Zhong didn't say any kind words at this time, he already regarded himself as Wang Heng's retainer, he nodded and said, "Huang Zhong can save it!" ”

Wang Heng said again: "Those jars of wine Huang Bingcao can be drunk, and I will send it to you after drinking, what I have there is, although it is sold for 50,000 yuan a hundred, but I can't brew it for so much money." ”

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "I won't be polite to my son, but I don't drink much, especially when I'm in the army, I don't know how to drink." ”

Wang Heng also knew that Huang Zhong was very strict in governing the army, and drinking alcohol in the army was a violation of military discipline, and it was also true that he didn't drink much, so he just nodded and didn't say anything about it.

Wang Heng pondered for a moment and said: "I am good at practicing martial arts, but there is no guidance from the master, I see that Huang Bing Cao is strong in martial arts, and I want to follow Huang Bing Cao to practice martial arts, I don't know what Huang Bing Cao wants?" ”

Huang Zhong's eyes lit up: "Childe is talented, if he is diligent in practicing martial arts, he will definitely become a great weapon in the future, I have long had the intention of instructing Childe, but I dare not be presumptuous, now that Childe has been invited, Huang Zhong dares not to do his best?" ”

Wang Heng is overjoyed, with a Master like Huang Zhong, presumably his martial arts can improve by leaps and bounds! Although strong martial arts may not be able to unify the world, it always gives him a few more chips.

Wang Heng tidied up his clothes and bowed deeply to Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong did not avoid it, and accepted Wang Heng's gift, because after this ceremony, he and Wang Heng had a friendship between master and apprentice, and he had to do his best to teach Wang Heng martial arts.

After Wang Heng finished saluting, he straightened up, Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Childe, Huang Zhong's martial arts are family traditions, there are not so many rules, there is only one, that is, you can't use the martial arts taught by Huang Zhong to do things that hurt heaven and reason, I don't know if Gongzi may abide by it?" ”

Wang Heng said solemnly: "Wang Heng must abide by the master's instructions, and never use the martial arts taught by the master to do anything that hurts the heavens and reason!" ”

Listening to Wang Heng's words, Huang Zhong smiled, he had seen this apprentice's heart during this time, this apprentice was pure and kind-hearted, and he was still very relieved.

Of course, Huang Zhong didn't know that although this apprentice was kind to the people, he had an ambition to devour the world!

After the gift of master and apprentice, the two had more intimacy, and Huang Zhong naturally called Wang Heng's expression: "Shuping, you will come to me to practice martial arts at the end of the fourth watch every day in the future, except for the day of the New Year, you can not use it, other days, rain or shine!" ”

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Obey Master's orders!" ”

Huang Zhong nodded happily, he was also very happy to receive such a talented and persevering apprentice, sometimes, it may not be easier for a master to find an apprentice than an apprentice to find a master, and an apprentice like Wang Heng is not too much to describe as one out of a thousand miles.

Wang Heng said again: "Master, how is the matter of recruiting state soldiers?" ”

Huang Zhong's brows furrowed: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first!" For the order of the assassin history, the county guards have some yang and yin violations, so the state is short of money and food, fortunately, after the Huan master and Zhang Shucao took office, they still raised a lot of money and food, and now I have recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses. However, these soldiers are still not enough, and recruitment must continue. ”

Huan Jie has served as a county official in Changsha County for many years and has a high reputation in the county, so he still raised a lot of money and food in Changsha County; And Zhang Ji is from the Nanyang clan Zhang family, he went to the state to serve as the bookkeeper, Nanyang Zhang family of course to have some support, they contacted Nanyang and the Zhang family to make good friends with several big families, but also donated a lot of money and food to the state, which, of course, also includes the Nanyang Huang family, but Huang Zhong will not take the initiative to show credit.

Wang Heng's brows also furrowed, five thousand soldiers and horses seemed to be a lot, but for a big state like Jingzhou, it was really not enough, let alone taking the initiative to attack, even if it was not enough to defend itself. He said to Huang Zhong: "Master, recently, the barbarians in the state are about to move, and they may change at any time. Assassin Shi is responsible for pacifying Jingzhou, can Master speed up the recruitment process? As for the money, I'll try my best. ”

Huang Zhong pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, it's not that you can't recruit more soldiers, it's just that recruiting soldiers for the division is different from others, and non-elite soldiers are not recruited, so the recruitment progress is slower." In this hurry, it is possible to recruit some weaker soldiers, and once there is something, you can use elite soldiers to go to battle, and weaker soldiers can be used to guard the place. It's not a boast for the division, as long as there are thousands of elite soldiers trained by the division, even if tens of thousands of barbarians are in rebellion, it is enough to sweep away the division! ”

Huang Zhong really didn't boast, his standard for conscription is very high, first of all, he needs a good family, more than seven feet tall, which is equivalent to more than one meter six in modern times, and he is physically strong, and he has to go through a physical fitness test when recruiting, and he has very strict requirements for strength, speed, and endurance.

It is not easy for Huang Zhong to recruit 5,000 people, this is the result of the strong support of several major families in Nanyang, they sent a group of strong house slaves, basically everyone can meet Huang Zhong's recruitment standards. This can be regarded as a kind of political investment in the new Jingzhou Thorn History, if this Thorn Shi is a Ming Master, their investment will inevitably get a huge return.

It is not unusual for such elite soldiers, after Huang Zhong's careful training, and then armed with sophisticated standard armor, to sweep away the barbarian rebellion of tens of thousands of people, so Huang Zhong is also full of confidence in this.

Wang Heng also agrees with Huang Zhong's elite soldier policy, because the combat effectiveness of elite soldiers is several times or even ten times that of ordinary soldiers, so that labor can be saved to develop agricultural production, which is good for local political affairs, but for a large state like Jingzhou, if the number of troops is too small, the local guard force will be obviously insufficient, and if the elite soldiers are used to guard the place, a city cannot be divided into a few people, and it is obviously overkill, so it is still necessary to establish a sub-level local guard force. Just like the modern armed forces, they are generally divided into field troops and local garrison forces.

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Then let the master bother!" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Shuping, there is one more thing to ask for for the teacher!" ”

Wang Heng saw that Huang Zhong said solemnly, so he also said with a straight face: "Master, it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Although I have recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses now, there is not enough junior officer Yan Zòng with combat experience. I heard that there are hundreds of elite servants in the Assassin's Mansion, I wonder if Gongzi can tell the Assassin Shi to let them serve as lower-level officers at all levels? ”

Wang Heng pondered for a while, and then understood what Huang Zhong meant, Huang Zhong's newly recruited soldiers, the lack of junior officers with combat experience should be the truth, but Huang Zhong's main meaning was to show himself that he had no second heart. These 5,000 soldiers and horses, more than half of them are slaves sent by the big families in Nanyang, if the lower-level officers are also Huang Zhong's people, then this army can be said to be completely Huang Zhong's troops, you must know that this army is already the entire armed force of the Jingzhou Thorn History Department, if it is completely in the hands of Huang Zhong alone, it is a taboo for the superiors.

Of course, Wang Heng believed in Huang Zhong's fierce loyalty, but Huang Zhong was here, so he took the initiative to ask Wang Heng to let these elite Yi of the Assassin's Mansion serve as officers at all levels of this army.

Wang Heng figured out this section, and subconsciously wanted to show his trust in Huang Zhong, but he thought about it, doing so would only make Huang Zhong feel uneasy, and it would make Wang Heng have a thorn in his heart, after all, Jingzhou is not in charge now, so accepting Huang Zhong's construction is the best way, which is also a necessary Su zhì as a superior.

Thinking of this, Wang Heng nodded and said: "These hundreds of elite righteous people have passed the Yellow Turban, all of them have made a lot of combat exploits, and they are also very rich in combat experience, it is very suitable to serve as a junior officer, Master, you are very thoughtful, I will propose it to my father." ”

Huang Zhong saw that Wang Heng understood what he meant, and smiled with relief. Although he is loyal, he is not stupid, he still understands some rules in the officialdom, but sometimes he disdains to use them, which makes him a little stubborn, and now that he has met a master like Wang Heng, he is no longer stubborn.

After coming out of Huang Zhong's house, Wang Heng successively brought a few jars of wine to Huanjie and Zhang Ji's house, and told them that if they wanted to drink Wuling spring wine in the future, Wang Heng could supply it for free.

This made Huan Jie and Zhang Ji both very moved, in fact, neither of them had any alcohol addiction, it didn't matter if they could drink this kind of wine or not, but Wang Heng's attention to them really made them have a feeling of dying as a confidant, this is 50,000 yuan a piece of wine, although the cost may not be so high, but now the market is still in short supply, as long as this wine is on the market, it is a real 50,000 yuan a hu, Wang Heng actually didn't care so much, and said lightly, Later they were supplied for free.

This made them feel that this time the application seemed to be really the right decision.

At Zhang Ji's house, Wang Heng told Zhang Ji that he had bought medicinal materials and sent them to Huang Zhong's house, and asked Zhang Ji to visit Huang's house often to see how Huang Xu's condition was.

Of course, Zhang Ji agreed, and he was also sighing in his heart, this is millions of dollars of medicinal materials, but in Wang Heng's mouth, it is as easy as saying hundreds of dollars, although Zhang Ji knows that Wang Heng's money is very easy, but how many people can use such a huge amount of money on an outsider so lightly?

When he returned home, Wang Heng saw his father Wang Heng again in the evening, and told him that Huang Zhong took the initiative to ask for hundreds of elite Yi under Wang Heng to be transferred to the army as junior officers.

Wang Rong decided that in addition to leaving fifty people in the mansion to ensure the safety of the Assassin's Mansion, the rest of the righteous were all transferred to the army as junior officers, so that the loyalty of this army could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Wang Heng also told his father that he wanted to follow Huang Zhong to learn martial arts, for this matter, Wang Rong is naturally indispensable, although the Wang family's family martial arts are not bad, Zhao Chou, Zhao Hu and those righteous servants are also teaching Wang Heng with all their hearts, but compared with a fierce general like Huang Zhong, it is still far from it, since his son has the talent to learn martial arts and is also interested, then it is of course the best to learn from a master like Huang Zhong.

At the end of the fourth watch of the next day, Wang Heng came to Huang Zhong's house on time, and Huang Zhong was already waiting in the courtyard of his house. The courtyard of the Huang family is very large, and the courtyard has been lit with Songming, and there is also a weapon rack, presumably Huang Zhong usually practices martial arts here.

Seeing Wang Heng coming, a gentle smile appeared on Huang Zhong's face: "Shuping is here!" ”

Wang Heng knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, you get up and practice all the martial arts you have learned." ”

Hearing this, Wang Heng got up, took out the long sword he brought, and practiced the swordsmanship handed down by the Wang family, and also practiced the hand-to-hand fighting techniques and other martial arts that he learned from those elite Yi, and then said to Huang Zhong: "Master, that's all I will." ”

Huang Zhong's face became stern: "Shuping, your talent is indeed very good, and you also work hard to practice martial arts, and you have learned these sets of martial arts decently." ”

Wang Heng couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he heard this, he did put a lot of hard work into practicing martial arts.

But unexpectedly, Huang Zhong's voice immediately became stern: "Fortunately, you worship me as a teacher now and learn martial arts from me, otherwise if you continue to practice like this, in less than a year, your talent will be wasted, and you can only reach a third-rate military general at most in this life!" ”

Wang Heng raised his head in astonishment.

Huang Zhong said: "To learn my Huang family's martial arts, you need to have strong muscles and bones, strong qi and blood, and the most important thing is that the muscles and bones must live, and not die, you are practicing like this now, the muscles and bones can be practiced strongly, and your own qi and blood are strong enough, but within a year, your muscles and bones will be practiced to death, and the aura will be lost, and you will never be able to get a glimpse of the threshold of superior martial arts in this life!" ”

Wang Heng was shocked at first when he heard this, but he was also very happy, fortunately he was lucky, he met Huang Zhong so early, and with such a Master to guide him, his future achievements should be limitless.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Huang Zhong respectfully: "Please also ask Master to teach!" ”

A gentle smile appeared on Huang Zhong's face again: "Since you call me Master, of course I will do my best to teach you superior martial arts." You can still use the methods you used to exercise your muscles and bones, but don't practice the martial arts you learned before, and forget all of them. ”

Wang Heng nodded yes.

Huang Zhong continued: "My Huang family's martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation, not only can walk in the rivers and lakes, but also can face the enemy on the battlefield, practice to the depths, all kinds of weapons and moves are all-encompassing, and they can hurt the enemy at their fingertips. For the teacher's nature, he likes to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so he is best at all the way to the knife, and all the way to the arrow, these two weapons are the most suitable for the battlefield, far and near, invincible! ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong's eyes shot a fine light, and his body naturally exuded a pride that looked down on the world.

Wang Heng couldn't help but remember the record in the book, Huang Zhong could still have a tie with Guan Yu in the prime of life in the year of the sixtieth year, and he was able to kill the famous general Xiahou Yuan when he was nearly eighty years old. Maybe you can compete with Lu Bu, the number one fierce general of this era! Wang Heng couldn't help but yearn for that scene.

Huang Zhong seemed to see through what Wang Heng was thinking, and he picked up a gold-backed big knife from the weapon rack in the courtyard and said, "Shuping, as a teacher, I will try out the Huang family's eighteen-style sword technique for you." ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhong held his breath, stood in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly took a step forward with his left foot, and the big knife was handed forward at a strange angle, the speed seemed to be slow and fast, that kind of strong contrast made Wang Heng see some blood floating, but his eyes were firmly attracted by the big knife in Huang Zhong's hand, he endured the discomfort, and stared at Huang Zhong's knife posture.

Huang Zhong's knife momentum didn't look fierce, but it obviously carried a knife wind, and the knife wind hit the ground, but surprisingly did not blow away the fallen leaves on the ground, but brought up the fallen leaves on the ground, as if this knife wind had a great suction.

With Huang Zhong's knife momentum handed out one by one, the knife wind brought up more and more fallen leaves, and finally brought up all the fallen leaves in the huge yard, these fallen leaves condensed but not dispersed, followed by Huang Zhong's big knife, formed a lively long dragon, with scales and claws, with whiskers and horns, it seems to be also choosing people to eat, its momentum is breathtaking.

Such a spectacle made Wang Heng fascinated and dizzy, and he now knew what the real superior martial arts was, and his martial arts were really practiced in vain before.

Although Huang Zhong's set of knife techniques only eighteen, but there are many small changes, until a quarter of an hour later, Huang Zhong finished this set of knife techniques, to the last style, Huang Zhong snorted, a knife slashed to a black stone in the courtyard, Wang Heng thought that he would hear a loud sound like striking iron, but he didn't expect that this knife went down, it was like cutting tofu, only made a "snort" sound, this half-human high stone was neatly divided into two pieces, and the long dragon composed of fallen leaves also fell in the courtyard.

Huang Zhong put away his sword and stood, his halberd was open, and he was majestic.

Wang Heng hurriedly ran to the side of the big stone and touched it with his hand, the big stone was a fake stone, and it was the most hardness granite, Wang Heng couldn't help but be speechless, the power of this last knife is too big, right? Who in the world can stop this earth-shattering sword of ghosts and gods?

Huang Zhong's last knife slashed down, Wang Heng had a feeling, even if a real mountain was blocked there, it would still be cut open by this knife, no wonder Huang Zhong said that this set of knife techniques is called the eighteen styles of opening mountains, this set of knife techniques really has the power of the deserved, and it should be the most suitable martial arts for the battlefield.
