Chapter 5: Jun'en (5b)
The small group of cavalry that Li Xu brought to follow Yang Guang was the elite of one in a hundred, and after they dispersed, they quickly drove some small animals hiding behind the grass and dwarf trees. The hares and pheasants that had been raised for a summer panicked and ran up and down in front of Yang Guang's eyes. Yang Guang obviously didn't have much interest in these small guys, so he hastily lowered his bow after a few arrows. However, Ganluo played like a fish in water, not only took back the hunts of Yang Guang and Li Xu one by one, but also independently bit and killed a hare and a pheasant.
"You're a great man!" Yang Guang wiped the sweat on his face with his hand and praised with a smile. He was an emperor on horse, and he knew a little about how to use troops, and he roughly judged the true strength of the other party from the skillfulness of the cooperation between several teams of border soldiers and soldiers.
"It's General Yun who brought it well." Li Xu didn't dare to say that most of these people were abducted from the Xiongwu camp by himself, and he gave all the credit to Yun Dingxing. "Your Majesty is a good archer, and the minister can't think of it!" Glancing at the prey that Ganro had dragged back, he added with a smile.
This sentence is not exactly a slap on Yang Guang's ass. Xu Zi just saw that Yang Guang only fired a total of five arrows before putting down his riding bow, but he shot three prey that were running. For Yang Guang, who rarely touches the bow and arrow, this is already a very good result. Even ordinary generals in the army, without a long time of practice, it is difficult to achieve such a large accuracy rate.
"I'm getting old, and my muscles and bones are not as good as they were back then. When I was your age, I was basically sure to hit every arrow! Yang Guang smiled and shook his head, with a hint of regret in his eyes. Maybe it was because he was touched by the memory hidden in his heart, after laughing, he actually stopped talking for a long time, just watched Ganluo go back and forth on the tip of the grass, sniping and dragging some small beasts that ran in front of him.
Seeing that Yang Guang had stopped killing the beast, Li Xu had no choice but to put down his bow. He had been controlling the rhythm just now, and he didn't dare to shoot faster and more accurately than Yang Guang. But Yang Guang obviously didn't intend to appreciate this kind of tolerance, and after staring at the empty field for a while, he turned his head in surprise, waited for his eyes and asked, "Why don't you anymore, isn't your physical strength worse than mine?" β
"The last general shoots these little things, and he doesn't shoot accurately. I didn't dare to show ugliness in front of experts, so I had to be passive and slack off! Li Xu scratched his hair and gave an answer that Yang Guang could accept.
"That's the same, you usually shoot as a warrior, and it's really boring to bully these little things that have no power to resist!" If kings have a thousand faces, Yang Guang often shows Xuzi's eyes, which is undoubtedly the most open-minded and considerate one.
"It's not boring, it's really hard to shoot. The last general can't find the feeling of fighting at all, and he can hardly aim at them" Li Xu thought for a while and replied.
"Hunting is different from fighting, when you are fighting, you know that you only have the opportunity to shoot a arrow, so you can concentrate on it, and you can unite the bow with a bow. And at this moment, there are many opportunities, but you can't play your true strength! β
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. The last general wondered why he couldn't find the feeling just now. Listening to His Majesty's words, the mouth suddenly opened! β
"You try again. According to what I said, imagine yourself on the field, with the prey on the opposite side holding a knife in your hand...... "Yang Guang likes to be a good teacher very much, grabbing the bow again, explaining and demonstrating at the same time.
"Ganro, help!" Li Xu deliberately made Yang Guang happy, shouted, and then put his finger to his lips and whistled. When the silver wolf Gan Luo heard this, he immediately jumped out like lightning, and in three circles and two times, he drove a hare, which had lost his strength, into the range of the bow and arrows.
Yang Guang held his breath and left his feather arrow. "Whoosh!" With a thud, he shot the hare through the neck. Gan Luo stepped forward and grabbed the dead rabbit in his mouth, and ran back with a leap. Throw the rabbit at Li Xu's feet, and then run out again, chasing the next prey.
These are all games that Li Xu and Gan Luo were used to playing on the shore of Crescent Lake, but for Yang Guang, they are very fresh. In the blink of an eye, he forgot that he was "teaching" Li Xu, and devoted himself to cooperating with Ganluo. In this round, there were actually four out of five arrows, and one of them escaped by luck, and was quickly shot to the ground by Yang Guang with another arrow. It is actually an authentic bead archery, arrow, winding, bowing, and re-firing, all the actions are done in one go, and it is as coherent as flowing water.
"Your Majesty is so sharp!" Li Xu was relaxed and applauded vigorously. Among the Central Plains martial artists he had seen, only Sun Jiu and Li Yuan could compete with Yang Guang in their archery.
"That's it, I'm glad I haven't forgotten it!" After firing two rounds of arrows in a row, Yang Guang's physical strength was a little overdrawn, and there was a heavy gasp in his voice. "You can try it too, and do what I taught!"
Li Xu couldn't resist Yang Guang's enthusiasm, so he had to bend his bow and arrow again. This time, he didn't dare to pretend that he couldn't shoot accurately, and used the sunlight reflected on the tip of the arrow and the line between his eyes to "tie" a prey, and his body slowly rotated with the movement of the other party. There was a crisp thud on the ground, and the feathered arrow shot the prey away in the air, landing far in the grass.
"What a force! Good eyesight! Yang Guang is a knowledgeable person, and when he saw Li Xu's movements, he knew that he had comprehended the essence of archery, and he high-fived and admired.
"Your Majesty is a good teacher!" Li Xu put down his bow, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's you who learn fast. I just like you like this, you can learn everything a little bit. Yang Guang patted Li Xu on the shoulder proudly, "If the generals in the court were as perceptive as you, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now!" β
"The qualifications of the last general are actually mediocre, fortunately you can always meet a famous teacher!" Li Xu found that it was not very difficult to pat Yang Guang's sycophants, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor in front of him was actually very easy to coax, as long as you gave him half of the total credit, he would be very humble and leave you room for self-expression.
"I'm a famous teacher. I know this ability! Sure enough, Yang Guang soon began to humble himself. However, I have always been proud and did not misunderstand you. In my life, I promoted many people, and many of them later failed me. You're the only one who is loyal to me, and you've done things that leave others with nothing to talk about! β
This time, Li Xu didn't have the ability to take Yang Guang's words. Regarding the things in the court, he has always felt a little foggy. Who Yang Guang had promoted in the past, who had failed Yang Guang, Li Xu didn't know, and there was no staff around him to secretly remind him.
Fortunately, Yang Guang didn't mind the other party's cold scene, stretched his limbs in the autumn wind, and said with a sigh, "After you go to the place, you also need to know people well, and you can't do everything." Otherwise, if you don't bother to die of local chores, you will have to exhaust yourself to death! β
"The last general will follow His Majesty's teachings!" Li Xu took half a step back and solemnly clenched his fists. He couldn't keep up with Yang Guang's jumping around train of thought, one would talk from archery to knowing people, and then from knowing people to governing places. At this moment, the other party sounds like a parent who dotes on his younger generation, always wanting to teach his own skills and experience, but he can't always find a clue, so he has to fill in a spoonful in the east and a bowl in the west.
"And being able to identify who is virtuous and who is stupid, who is really capable, who is the embroidered pillow, is the key to employing people!" Yang Guang smiled and pressed Li Xu's hands, not allowing him to continue to salute, "Don't be so solemn, I just said it casually." On weekdays, when I say these words, no one listens to them. β
"The last general, the last general is just grateful!" Li Xu's mouth began to clumsy again, and he explained in fear.
"If you are grateful to me, go and be an official!" Yang Guang just appreciates Li Xu's honesty. This reassures him. "You hold the bow, and our monarchs and ministers talk while walking, and we may be able to meet big prey ahead. I tell you that governing a place is like hunting, if you can get someone to bring your prey to you, try not to chase it yourself. Things are complicated, and you don't have that much time. And employing people, just like these guards who help us catch our prey now, some are athletic but not so attentive, and some are serious but not skilled. There are also those who are obviously not good at work, and they are not smart at doing things, but they will pretend to be very hard-working and very capable..."
Yang Guang talked about sex quite a day today, and the examples he gave were interesting. 'When you're in the manager's position and you're in the local position, you've got to keep an eye on it. For those who are athletic and do not take things seriously. The reward is rewarded, and the punishment should not be soft. For those who are serious but not good at what they do, try to teach them, or give them a good hand. For those who can only pretend, kick them away as soon as possible, and don't stay around, lest they spoil everyone! β
This is His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor? Listening to Yang Guangxu's chattering advice, Li Xu couldn't believe his eyes and ears. What Yang Guang said just now can be said to be to the point of knowing and employing people, but in his court, I am afraid that most people are the third type, who have no ability but are very good at pretending. Yang Guang taught himself to eliminate this kind of person, but he himself knowingly committed it.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right! When the last general arrives in office, he will definitely live up to his trust. Your Majesty should also be careful in the court, the last general feels that the last general feels that some people are also perfunctory to your majesty. An impulsive feeling surged in Li Xu's heart, he could no longer stay awake, and the words of advice blurted out.
Yang Guangleng paused, and his face instantly became very ugly. He was very unaccustomed to others talking to him in this way, but looking at Li Xu's honest eyes, he couldn't bear to do anything to him for a while, so he had to suppress his anger, and his heavy wheezing sound was like a wounded beast.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the last general for being a martial artist and not very good at talking!" Li Xu was taken aback by the expression on Yang Guang's face, knowing that he was too impulsive just now, so he hurriedly spoke up to make amends.
Yang Guang stared at Li Xu tightly, and after a while, thoughtfully. He didn't want to get angry today, so as not to spoil the atmosphere between the monarch and the courtier. But some of the other side's 'wrong' views, he must explain. "You're not a reckless man, but a hairy boy who doesn't know my difficulties!" With a few wry smiles, Yang Guang said with a sigh. "You go to the place, try it yourself, and you'll understand. What I just said is easy to say, but it's very hard to actually do! β
"The end will be taught. I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's teachings! Li Xu didn't want to embarrass Yang Guang too much, so he took half a step back again and responded in a low voice.
Yang Guang was very sensitive to the unconvincing taste revealed in the courtier's words. He knew that Li Xu was making concessions to himself, but this concession made people feel extremely uncomfortable. "Only those who have experienced it understand. You don't feel my suffering now. Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains. Anyone can say anything. But who is a virtuous minister, who is a villain, who knows! He unconsciously raised his voice, which sounded like a beast roaring, "I opened the secretariat, and waited for the sages of the world, who came." You have also seen that they are all Kong Yingda, Lu Heng and the like, except for writing books and saying that they are making a name for themselves, they can't help me at all. I opened the imperial examination, selected people with talents, and those jinshi who passed the examination were either in the same stream as others, or they had a bad temper and a hard temper, and they didn't know how to make any changes, and they were knocked out by others within a few days, and they couldn't afford any heavy responsibilities at all. I admired the name and visited the virtuous, reused Li Mi, and in less than three months he ran away, and then encouraged others to rebel everywhere. I picked up Luo Yi from the army and handed over all the iron horses of the Great Sui to him. And then he is not satisfied......."
"Your Majesty, General Luo Yi may not have any objections!" Li Xu heard Yang Guang mention his idol back then, and defended in a low voice. "This time, Ashina Gu Toru was forced to surrender, and General Luo Yi accounted for at least half of the credit. If it weren't for him, the tiger would have been out of the jam ......"
"You don't understand! It's not that he didn't rebel, but he didn't find the right opportunity! Yang Guang replied with a yell, "I can't touch him yet, otherwise others will say that I forced him to rebel." One of them is a faint king, and they are all capable ministers, direct ministers, and loyal ministers. I did all the bad things, and they didn't have any responsibility! β
Speaking of sadness, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor actually had tears on his face and choked up in his tone. The guards didn't know why, so they had to stay away from it, so as not to damage the fish in the pond.
"If General Luo Yi rebels, the last general is willing to send troops to quell the rebellion for His Majesty!" Li Xu didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to cry in front of him, and he was in a hurry, "The matter of governing the country, the last general really doesn't understand, Your Majesty don't take the words of the last general to heart!" β
"You are not the opponent of the Tiger Ben General Luo Yi!" Yang Guang heard that Li Xu was willing to work hard for himself, and the grievances in his mood felt a little lighter, wiped his face, and shook his head.
"The last general is willing to take a risk!" Li Xu seems to be a newborn calf, and he doesn't know that tigers don't need horns to hurt people. He is more willing to face opponents on the battlefield than to face Yang Guang, who is emotionally volatile. The danger of the latter is palpable, while the former is like a fog, and it is not known what kind of edge is hidden inside.
"Don't be in a hurry first, train your soldiers first!" Yang Guang's eyes were red and he sighed in a low voice. "You don't know, Luo Yi's command is the most elite tiger and iron cavalry of our Great Sui, which was left by the emperor to deal with the Turks. Each of those armored horses is worth a thousand dollars. Our Great Sui poured the strength of several counties in Hebei to afford such a little. I have already decreed that no more money and food will be sent to Luo Yi from all over the country until he is willing to come to see me. If he is determined to rebel, and the Tiger Horse is not well supplied, he must go south to plunder. General Xue Shixiong's station was next to him, and General Yang Yichen was also suppressing bandits in Hebei. Coupled with your Fenyang army, the three of them work together, and they may not be able to capture him! β
"It turns out that His Majesty has already made arrangements, and the last general is reckless again!" Li Xu was shocked when he heard this, but he had to show a sudden expression of realization on his face. Over the years, the story of Roben General Luo Yi has been the driving force that motivates him to work hard. Unexpectedly, when the troubled times came, everyone had changed.
The original friend has become an enemy, and the original teacher has become a stranger. It turns out that the goal of life is to meet each other on the battlefield soon. This immortal heaven is really afraid that people will live happily!
"I sometimes think, these are my lives!" After venting, Yang Guang became very decadent, his back slowly bent down, and his steps became vain and weak. "Maybe I shouldn't be this emperor, so I can't do anything." As if he was talking, he seemed to be talking to himself, "But if I hadn't let go of Yibo and let my brother take the throne, would he let go of my younger brother, who had laid down half of the country?" You say, "Will he?" β
Yang Guang killed his brother and seized the throne, which Xu Zi had heard of in the people for a long time. But His Majesty the Emperor asked at this moment, but it was beyond the scope of his answer, and he lowered his head and thought for a long time before he sighed and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the last general really doesn't know." β
"Hey!" Yang Guang couldn't get the answer he wanted, and let out a long sigh again. If it weren't for his brother Shadow being by his side at all times, he might not be so anxious to do things. "Haven't you fought with your brother over something? At that time, I was so angry that I was dying, but after that, I felt that it was better to give him a step! β
"The last general once had an elder brother who died in battle in Liaodong when I was two years old. The last general doesn't even know what he looks like, let alone fight with him! Li Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yang Guang said that the kind of dispute can only happen in some big families! A poor child like him, who has four walls, has nothing in the first place, how can he fight with each other!
"You know how to fight!" Yang Guang didn't expect Li Xu to give such an answer in the end. Thinking about the other party's life experience, it was really pitiful, punched him, and commented with a wry smile.
"The last general doesn't even know much about fighting, so don't fight or learn all the time!"
"I've said you learn faster than anyone else." Yang Guang sighed and said quietly. "The ministers thought that I favored you, and promoted you to a high position at will. But I didn't know that I had been weighed up several times. You went to Boling, so you didn't have to worry about looking for someone to fight with first. First familiarize yourself with the place and complete the Fenyang Army. Lack of money and food, I will find a way to make it up for you! β
