Chapter Seventy-Two: Please Talk
"Imperial martial arts? Isn't that just a school martial arts? I met Wen Yuan at the beginning, but it was on that school field, and after a few years, it is very different now. ”
Getting this will, Wei Tao just smiled slightly.
A year ago, Wei Tao may still be worried about recruiting soldiers, but after this year, Wei Tao no longer has to worry about not being reused by the imperial court.
In the past year, Wei Tao has not changed much, but his father-in-law, Cai Yong, has been re-activated by the imperial court and served as a waiter.
However, although Cai Yong was able to return to the imperial court, he did not have much real power, but Cai Yong himself was not a person who loved the official position, and after some twists and turns, Cai Yong's mind also changed.
Today's Cai Yong is more focused on learning, not fighting with others in the court.
Speaking of which, the reason why Cai Yong was demoted back then was precisely because he offended the ten permanent servants.
And the reason why it can be activated now is because he sees that Wei Tao is now in his prime, his future is ambitious, and he has a great merit in killing Zhang Liang, so the ten permanent servants are not willing to be overly responsible.
If Wei Tao is bent on fighting the eunuchs to the end, then Zhang Rang and the others will naturally not be soft-hearted, even if Wei Tao is valued by Emperor Han Ling, it is rare that he can pay more attention to Zhang Rang who was called 'Father' by Emperor Han Ling?
But Wei Tao didn't want to fight to the death with the eunuchs.
Although he intersected with important ministers of the imperial court, Wei Tao never said a good word for the eunuchs, but in fact, Wei Tao had a good relationship with Cui Ying, the little yellow door in the palace.
In this way, Zhang let the ten permanent servants still test a few times, and after making sure that Wei Tao did not have much hostility, that is, he released the wind and let Cai Yong return to the court.
For this reason, Cai Yong also had to spend a lot of money.
Cai Yong couldn't take out those silver coins, but Wei Tao's expedition to the Yellow Turban had a lot of seizures, and now he is presiding over an army, and he still has a lot of silver money in his hand, which is to help Cai Yong deliver it, which is to let Cai Yong return to the court.
However, Cai Yong's actions after returning to the dynasty made Zhang Rang and others feel at ease, and they no longer paid attention to Cai Yong.
With Cai Yong in the court, the relationship between Wei Tao and Wang Yun and other important ministers of the court is much closer, and as long as Zhang Rang and other eunuchs do not take the initiative to find trouble, Wei Tao will naturally not lose his official position easily.
Although Zhang Liao didn't know this, but in the past year, Zhang Liao had trained elite soldiers with Wei Tao, and he was naturally quite confident in his subordinates.
"What the general said is that if the two armies really face each other, I am afraid that the generals in our hands will still be useless, but this time the imperial military performance is a battle of generals, soldiers, and formations. Even if it's us, it's a fight. ”
Although it is a martial arts exercise in front of the emperor, it is impossible for all the soldiers and generals to play, not to mention others, when the entire court officials are there, eight captains lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, what if there is a rebellion?
It's not that the emperor doesn't trust Wei Tao and the others, but it can't be like this.
Therefore, the fighting generals are naturally each captain to show his ability, and the fighting soldiers are thirty soldiers on the field to fight, and as for the fighting formation, each with hundreds of soldiers in a formation to change the formation to fight the formation.
What's more, Wei Tao is also the captain of Xiyuan, so naturally he can also recruit some strong people, within three hundred soldiers, his strength will not be inferior to Yuan Shao and others.
"That's right, the martial arts in front of the emperor is a big thing, and it can't be failed. And the yellow turban has a tendency to intensify, I am afraid that this time His Majesty has the intention to let the captain of the West Garden attack to capture Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao is not removed, and it is always a big trouble for His Majesty. ”
Zhang Liao is confident, Wei Tao is also confident, this year, Wei Tao has practiced martial arts every day, and his martial arts have increased.
And with Zhang Liao and Dian Wei as subordinates, although there is no famous teacher to guide him, but there are two brave general sparring partners, plus the overlord legacy obtained from Wang Yue, Wei Tao changed to use a halberd to take its essence from it, even if Dian Wei went all out, it would take fifty moves before he could win Wei Tao.
This is also because although Wei Tao himself is born with divine power, he is not as good as Dian Wei is in the prime of life after all, and his strength is no longer strong after fifty moves.
What's more, Dian Wei himself is also born brave, and he is even more above Wei Tao.
"The lion fights the rabbit and does his best, no matter what, Wen Yuan has to pay more attention to it in the past few days, especially the change of formation, and he has to practice more."
After all, both Wei Tao and Zhang Liao have experienced not many battle formations, and they are probably a little inferior in comparison, so Wei Tao couldn't help but tell a few more points.
While Wei Tao and Zhang Liao were talking, a domestic servant came in to report and say.
"General Qiyu, Cai Shilang sent someone to the mansion for a banquet, saying that several elders will be coming, and please hurry up."
Hearing this report, Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then smiled a little bitterly.
"It should be a martial arts exercise for the emperor. It seems that the princes of the imperial court are also very concerned about such things. ”
As long as Wei Tao thinks about it, he can understand, not to mention that the princes of the court are actually superior, such as Wang Yun and others, naturally hope that Wei Tao can win, this is through Cai Yong's banquet to invite Wei Tao.
"Wen Yuan, this is the case, remember to be moderate, don't make a joke about rushing to practice, but it will hurt the soldiers."
"No!"
Zhang Liao is calm, and Wei Tao has explained again, so he is naturally relieved, and immediately drove to Cai Yong's mansion.
Although they have not yet married, the marriage contract between Wei Tao and Cai Yan has been decided, so they are completely unhindered in and out of Cai Yong's mansion, and they go straight to the room, but they see Cai Yong talking to Wang Yun and others.
Originally, Cai Yan was sitting next to Cai Yong, quietly listening to the conversation of Cai Yong and others, but when Wei Tao came in, a pair of wonderful eyes were already staring at Wei Tao's body.
But when Wei Tao's gaze swept over, Cai Yan immediately buried his head,
"I've seen my father-in-law, I've seen Uncle Wang, and I've seen a few adults."
Wei Tao bowed one by one and then sat down on his own, and then said with a slight smile.
"I don't know how many adults summoned Tao to come, but it's for the martial arts in front of the emperor a few days later?"
"Yes, Ziyu is sure?"
Now that Cai Yong is obsessed with learning, he naturally won't ask Wei Tao about it, and in desperation, Wang Yun can only ask in person.
"Luoyang Xiao'er rumored that Ziyu, your army is the weakest, I don't know if that's the case? If you lose in front of Your Majesty, that's not good. ”
It is rumored that Wei Tao has also heard of it.
However, what he said was also somewhat true, and Wei Tao knew that such a thing was impossible to refute, so he naturally ignored it.
Of course, at this time, Wei Tao naturally couldn't admit it.
"Uncle Shi is relieved, although my soldiers and horses are all selected from the people, but there are also capable and brave people, selected into the army, and the strength is definitely not weak. Now, there are rumors. ”
Hearing Wei Tao's confident words, Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and after glancing at the other people, he asked again.
"In that case, is it against the army led by Jian Shuo?"
Hearing this, Wei Tao suddenly frowned slightly.
Although Jian Shuo is only a eunuch of the Yellow Gate, he does have some real skills, and the soldiers of Jian Shuo are not even just private soldiers of the Hao family, but directly draw out the heroes in the original army.
Really speaking, I'm afraid that the army can be called the first.
"Ziyu!"
Seeing that Wei Tao was silent, there was a faint look on his face, and Wang Yun naturally understood a little.
But Wang Yun is stubborn, not the kind of person who will give up easily, and said with a long sigh at the moment.
"You also know that now that the eunuch is in power and has gained the trust of His Majesty, he is now so powerful that he is in the government and the opposition, if he is allowed to gain the power of soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will become more and more out of control. Therefore, this time the imperial martial arts must not let the eunuch gain power, and the rest is just that, the victory or defeat has nothing to do with it, only the Jianshuo must win. ”
Wei Tao was silent for a while, and after a long while, he said slowly.
"The little nephew will do his best, but if there are General Benchu, General Meng De and others in the future, it will definitely not be for the eunuch to succeed."
Hearing this, Wang Yun and the others smiled lightly.
Obviously, in the eyes of Wang Yun and others, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are naturally able to do this, and now letting Wei Tao come is just a warning and a precaution.
What's more, if even Wei Tao can win, wouldn't it just mean that the eunuch is useless in commanding the army.
"All right, guys. Today, I invite you to come here only to talk about learning, not about state affairs. ”
Although Cai Yong was no longer willing to participate in political affairs, he still knew what everyone meant, but he didn't want Wei Tao to be too embarrassed, so he just spoke.
Cai Yong is the master, even if Wang Yun and others have the heart, it is not good to force each other too much.
It wasn't until everyone left that Cai Yong invited Wei Tao to the study again.
"Ziyu, I'm afraid it's not that simple to perform martial arts in front of the emperor this time, you still have to be careful."
Cai Yong was still very satisfied with Wei Tao, so he specially left it for mention.
"Although I have been absent from the court for a long time, I have been friends with Zishi for a long time, but I understand his character, if it is not related to the court, he will not come to see you on purpose, and he is telling this."
"What my father-in-law said is extremely true, but this matter is His Majesty's note, what can I do other than send the captain of Xiyuan to attack and kill the Yellow Turban?"
Hearing Cai Yong's advice, Wei Tao also had some doubts in his heart.
"Otherwise, although the position of captain of Xiyuan is quite high, it was His Majesty who did it to prevent the Yellow Turbans at that time, so the number of people was not large, and it was difficult to exterminate the Yellow Turbans."
After all, Cai Yong has been a subordinate for a long time, but he has seen some things more thoroughly than Wei Tao.
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty has a feeling of grabbing power, I have heard the court say, Your Majesty is now in a bad dragon's body, I don't know when the dragon will return to heaven, so someone asked Your Majesty to set up a prince early."
Wei Tao was suddenly taken aback, when he didn't know these news, Wei Tao still didn't understand, and when he heard Cai Yong's reminder, Wei Tao still didn't understand.
Unexpectedly, Luoyang was going to be stirred up again.
