Chapter Seventy-Six: Who's Whose Luck
The weather was so good that it made people feel the urge to shout, there was not a hint of wind, and there were not even clouds in the blue sky that seemed to have been washed. The sun shone down from the sky without obstruction, spreading a thick layer of warmth on the ground. His Majesty the Emperor's car drove forward in the sunshine and slowly entered the huge martial arts arena.
After entering the martial arts arena, I walked for another half an hour before I faintly saw the earth city. The Emperor whispered a command in the carriage, and the carriage came to a steady stop. The head of the eunuch, Su Bu, bowed down and opened the curtain of the carriage, and the emperor poked his head out and couldn't help but take a greedy breath of fresh air outside the city and said: "When you arrive at the martial arts arena, don't take a car, ride a horse." ”
Su Buxing hurriedly beckoned and ordered someone to bring the emperor's mount over, this is a pure white horse produced in the Northern Liao region, which was a gift to the Great Sui Emperor when the envoy of the Northern Liao region came to Chang'an for the first time. After obtaining this horse, the emperor immediately abandoned his original mount, a majestic war horse from the Mengyuan Empire. Although that horse is the same precious sweat and blood, who calls it born in Mengyuan.
This war horse, which was turned into a snow unicorn by the Northern Liao people, was full of wildness, and it took half a month for His Majesty the Emperor to tame it. Before the emperor Rao ascended the throne, he also led the troops and was skilled in bows and horses, and the process of taming the snow unicorn was still a little anxious.
Getting off the car and getting on the horse, the emperor was in good spirits.
Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards, and Hou Wenji, the deputy commander and envoy of the Qing Ya Town, followed closely behind. Behind them were hundreds of guards wearing flying fish robes, and the maids and others could only continue to walk, slowly walking to the viewing platform, and eating smoke and dust behind the buttocks of the war horses.
After running for a few miles, the emperor felt that his wrinkled body had stretched out in the past few days.
So I'm in a good mood.
It was still far from the viewing platform, led by Prince Yi, Zhou Banchuan, the president of the Yanwu Academy, Xu Xiaogong, the general of the Right Guard, and others had already walked over to this side. Seeing the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Yi took the lead in lifting his robe and kneeling down and saying long live. Behind the three of them, the professors of the Yanwu Academy and the lieutenant general of the Right Guard Army knelt together.
The emperor dismounted, walked over and helped Zhou Banchuan up first, and said: "Didn't I say it, Mr. is highly respected, and you can see me without kneeling." ”
Zhou Banchuan Chaoyi Prince Yang Yin squeezed his eyes and said, "The prince kneels first, how dare I stand." ”
"Get up, sixth, as long as it's not a formal occasion like the court meeting in the future, you don't have to kneel down to salute, it's too troublesome."
The emperor smiled and walked towards the viewing platform: "I plan to steal a day's laziness today, so I came to your martial arts arena to see the competition between the top three." The top three young talents in the Great Sui Martial Arts Academy are all outstanding talents. I hesitated for a long time yesterday and still couldn't resist the temptation, so I came directly after the court meeting. ”
"It's not started yet."
Zhou Banchuan replied.
As he walked, the emperor said, "I heard yesterday that there was no fight, and I thought that they should be waiting for the night to attack. But before the news reached me in the morning, I realized that those three guys should be waiting for someone else to strike first. That's why I'm here...... I'm sitting on the viewing platform, are they too embarrassed to wait? ”
When he said this, the emperor was a little childlike proud.
Zhou Banchuan and Prince Yi Yang Yin looked at each other and smiled, especially Prince Yi Yang Yin smiled very happily. If His Majesty hadn't arrived in person, I'm afraid he would have to wait for three days in the martial arts arena. In his own words, three days were spent in the martial arts arena, and I don't know how many wonderful programs Lu Dao missed.
The Emperor seemed to be in high spirits, and quickly climbed to the viewing platform and sat down on a chair in the middle of the game. He looked at Yang Yin and said with a smile: "The tea stored in your house is better than that in the palace, hurry up and take some out, don't be stingy." ”
"Where can the tea of the younger brother compare to that in the palace of His Majesty, the younger brother is greedy for the big red robe that Jiangnan has paid tribute to the palace this year for a long time. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep......"
"Just know that you don't want to suffer!"
The emperor gave him a blank look and said, "I will drink your tea today, and I will go back and ask Su Buxing to send you a pound of one-branched red robes." ”
"Thank you"
Yang Yin clenched his fists and bent over, with a bit of a taste of taking advantage of the joy of taking advantage.
After the fragrant tea came up, the emperor put it under his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but praise: "I said that the sixth man has all good things in his hands, and this tea is only afraid that it is at least 14,000 buds or more lotus hearts, and this pot of silver is enough for a small family's expenses for a year." ”
"Wu Yi sent it."
Yang Yin hurriedly lowered his head and said.
The Emperor smiled and did not continue the topic of tea. He pointed to Tucheng, a few miles away, and asked, "Send someone to urge me, and say that I will see the results today." If I can't tell the winner before dark, I will send the three of them to the edge of Ning'an Tower, even if Luo Yao, Yu Manlou and Li Yuanshan come to kneel and beg, I will not take back my life. ”
The guards below did not dare to delay, and hurriedly got on their horses and galloped towards the side of Tucheng.
The emperor took a sip of tea, pondered slightly for a while, turned his head sideways and said to Zhou Banchuan: "Old Zhou, Hou Wenji told me something interesting two days ago, and I was really happy to hear it...... Red Sleeves beckoned back to Chang'an. ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Banchuan, who was squinting and drinking tea, changed his expression and almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.
Xu Xiaogong, who was sitting at the farthest place, subconsciously glanced at Prince Yi Yang Yin, and quickly took his gaze back. He knows the character of His Majesty, and he will never say something or something for no reason. Any sentence that His Majesty said to his courtiers often had a deeper meaning behind it than the literal meaning.
He subconsciously looked at Yang Yin, because he knew that His Majesty had said this sentence to Chang'an, and the red sleeves were summoned back to Chang'an, which seemed to be said to Zhou Banchuan, but it was actually said to Prince Yi.
"Is the seventh brother back?"
Yang Yin immediately stood up and asked impatiently.
The emperor shook his head and said, "It's been ten and a half years, and I have sent people to search for the Great Sui, and there is no trace of Lao Qi...... But it's good that the red sleeves are back with the song and dance, and they can see the shadow of the seventh. I have already instructed Hou Wenji to let him inform the officials below that since the Red Sleeves are back, they should continue to do their duty in a down-to-earth manner. The tax paid by the building should not be less than a copper coin, and this is also the rule when the seventh child is there...... However, how to use the seal for approval in Chang'an Mansion can't be difficult, and if I know that someone has made any small moves from it, I won't be spared. ”
It sounded like he was talking about the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion, but everyone here understood what it meant.
Zhou Banchuan squinted again, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Xu Xiaogong looked down at his toes and said nothing.
Yang Yin shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and leaned over and said, "Brother Chen, if you miss it once, you won't be wrong again." ”
……
……
The news of the emperor's arrival at the martial arts arena was sent for half an hour, but there was still no movement on the Tucheng side. This made Prince Yi Yang Yin a little displeased, he glanced at Zhou Banchuan, who was sitting on the chair and didn't know where the Dao Shenyou had gone, and couldn't help asking: "Old Zhou, do you still think you are still fighting today." ”
"Hit"
Zhou Banchuan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's will has been made, how dare those three little guys disrespect the will?" It's just that I haven't figured out how to fight yet, so it's okay...... Wait. ”
The emperor smiled and said, "If the three of them rush up with their troops because of my will, then there is no need to watch it today." For the general, the shot is to win. If you don't have the slightest chance of winning, it's just to cater to me, it's a waste material, and you don't need it. ”
Yang Yin didn't want to say anything more, and sulked at Tucheng.
The emperor said: "Sixth, your temperament is still the same, too anxious." ”
"Brother Chen's brother has calmed down a lot."
Yang Yin said in a humble tone: "Over the years, I have raised flowers and birds, and I have cultivated my temperament, and I will slowly precipitate it." ”
"Hmm"
The emperor hummed and said: "The matter of self-cultivation is more urgent, if it is urgent, it is not self-cultivation, but to continue to cultivate a temper, and the more you raise, the more dry it becomes." ”
Hearing this, Yang Yin's expression darkened slightly.
Continue to cultivate one's self-cultivation.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, I already plan to be so self-cultivation for the rest of my life, so why do you need to remind me again?
At this time, Xu Xiaogong suddenly handed the clairvoyance to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there is a move over there." ”
The emperor took the clairvoyance and looked over at Tucheng, and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Why did the three of them move together, the south, east, west, and all three sides of the flag, could it be that the three of them plan to attack at the same time?" If this is the case, they finally understand a little bit of the deep meaning of Zhou Lao's arrangement. ”
"Looks like so."
Xu Xiaogong said with a smile: "Elder Zhou arranged this way in order to let them know that sometimes they face seemingly unsolvable problems, as long as they remember the word unity, they can solve them." Tucheng garrisoned 2,000 soldiers, and the three of them each had 500 soldiers, and no one could fight it if they took turns to fight, and only if they thought of uniting and attacking the city together, they would have a chance of winning. ”
"Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhou Lao didn't plan to rank the top three in the martial arts academy this year, but wanted to use such a competition to teach them the truth that they should understand more as soldiers."
The emperor nodded and said, "Luo Wen, Yu Xiao, Li Fubo...... Old Zhou, do you think who first thought it through, and then persuaded the other two? ”
Zhou Banchuan thought about it and shook his head slightly: "Luo Wen has a cold temperament, but it is simple and difficult. Yu Xiao's scheming is too deep, but it is easy to get into a dead end, and it is also difficult. As for Li Fubo, who is the most calm but lacks agility, it is still difficult to ...... The minister couldn't think of who. The minister thought that when the three-day period came, they couldn't think of the deep meaning of the minister's arrangement. ”
The emperor said: "Whoever comes up with it, I will be directly appointed as a general from Sipinlang and sent to the right guard of Li Yuanshan in the northwest." ”
These words are really profound.
There are several people here, except for Prince Yi Yang Yin who ignores government affairs and doesn't know that Emperor Lu Dao is going to move troops to the northwest, Zhou Banchuan and Xu Xiaogong all know Lu Dao. At this time, sending one of them to the northwest shows how strong the emperor's mind is to reuse the new generals. If we seize this opportunity and make some achievements in the northwest, the future is limitless.
"Huh?"
Xu Xiaogong suddenly sighed in surprise, pointed to the direction of Tucheng opposite, and said, "There seems to be a change." ”
"Why did a detachment of centaurs suddenly appear in the North City?"
"Beautiful!"
Emperor Long Yan Dayue, couldn't help but pat his thigh and said: "The south, east, and west are all suspicious soldiers, but I'm afraid that dozens of people are arranged to plant flags, but those three people joined forces to go around to the weakest defense of the northern city to attack together, wonderful!" I have such a good general in the Great Sui, it is really worth celebrating! ”
It's just that he didn't know why, but Zhou Banchuan's eyes narrowed again, thoughtfully.
……
……
Tucheng
Watching the soldiers flock to climb the north city wall, the three young talents of the Yanwu Academy all had smiles on their faces. Yu Xiao, who was twenty-one years old and destined to inherit the title of Duke of the Kingdom, pointed to the city wall and smiled: "Brother Shanwu, if it weren't for your epiphany on the mind of the dean, I'm afraid that the three of us would still have to be in a big tent and anxious to turn around on the map." ”
Luo Wen smiled and said, "Brother Dingcheng, it's just a fluke." ”
He looked at Li Fubo and smiled: "I thought that Brother Mouwen should be the most promising person among the three of us to win the championship, and he has already prepared a congratulatory gift in private, so it seems that he is going to save this silver." ”
Li Fubo smiled and said, "Let's go to the city, and I have to go to face the saint when I turn back." ”
"Two please"
Luo Wen made a gesture of please, Yu Xiao entered the city first, Li Fubo followed, and after the two of them walked out of Lu for a few steps, Luo Wen turned around and whispered to his guards: "Go and kill that person, clean your hands and feet...... No one should be allowed to know that the way to break the city was not something I came up with. ”
His guards nodded, turned around and rushed back in the direction of the camp with a dozen people.
Watching his guards leave, Rowan sneered at the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "What's the use of a person like you, no matter how smart he is?" You are unlucky to see me, and you are too lucky to get into my camp. ”
He looked at the gate of the earth city, and seemed to see a set of armor from the four pinlang generals. Suddenly, the wind rose, and the Great Sui battle flag that had just been erected and fluttered on the earth city was like a hand that the god of fate was beckoning to him.
