Chapter Seventy-Five: Discernment
Chapter 75: Discernment
Tuoba leaves the palace, the fastest update
The commander of the eight battalions, except for Yihun who escorted the slaves to Xishan to mine, the other battalion generals all came out to greet him.
"The light cavalry battalion has gone to escort the slaves to the West Mountain, and there is no one left?" Tuoba asked.
The guard replied: "Only the bow and crossbow team was left in the light cavalry battalion, and it was Yihun's deputy general Yiji who led the team to stay. ”
"Otoyoshi?" Tuoba said softly, Yiji is Yihun's younger brother, a tiger fighter, and Yihun's right-hand man.
He checked the training team, and saw the bow and crossbow team of the light cavalry battalion practicing, his eyes converged, and he said awe-inspiringly:
"The light cavalry general escorted the slaves out of the barracks, and it was understandable. Now is the time for all exercises, not rest. Why didn't Yiji, who stayed behind, take a crossbow team to practice archery? ”
One of the lieutenants under Abu Khan, the general of the Shenwu battalion, listened and whispered a few words to Abu Khan.
Abu Khan sighed heavily, with a look of contempt on his face, shook his head, thought about it, and came over and said:
"General, it seems that I heard that General Otoyoshi was drunk and had been sleeping, so his bow and crossbow team was not supervised, so no one came out to practice archery."
"You're all lazy?" Tuoba said angrily.
"Yes, there's one, there! The recruit who practiced archery on the side was the crossbow team under Yiji. A commander pointed to the remote target.
"Let's go, let's see!" Tuoba and the rest of the group walked to the new recruits who practiced archery.
The recruit's skin was tanned red and black, and his wide military uniform was worn on his body, not hiding his heroic spirit, and he was also a little clear and beautiful, and he was tirelessly practicing archery.
His arrow didn't shoot well, but he missed the heart.
Seeing the general and a group of people walking towards him, he stopped practicing, looked at Tuoba and them, and saluted:
"Hello General! Hello generals! ”
Tuoba looked at him, déjà vu, and then suddenly:
"General Ben remembers you, Mulan!"
"In!" The soldier stood tall and loud.
"Mulan, your crossbow team, why are you the only one to practice?" Tuoba asked.
Hua Mulan wanted to speak and stopped, her lips moved slightly, and she was still silent.
"Why didn't the general answer you when he asked you?" Abu Khan shouted.
“…… The small ones are just recruits, and they don't dare to ask them to practice together. Mulan said timidly.
"Didn't your general inform you to practice?" Tuoba asked with a frown.
Mulan thought about it and shook her head silently.
"Why are you here when other people don't come to practice without being notified?" Tuoba asked again.
"A small newcomer, his martial arts are not good, he doesn't learn his skills well, and he is the enemy's human target when he goes to the battlefield, so he has to practice." Mulan Road.
"Good, good!" Tuoba said, "Come, General Ben will teach you archery!" ”
He motioned for Mulan to pick up the bow and arrow, walked behind her, looked at the arrow target a hundred steps away, and taught him hand in hand behind Mulan.
"The body is straight, the force is peaceful, the bow is successful, the arrow is calmly, the forward push is backward, and the bow is full." Tuoba said loudly, "This is the most solid basic skill!" ”
Mulan calmly set up the arrow as she said.
"The distance between the bow and the bow should be accurate, and when the bow is full, the front sight will aim at the heart without a second move aiming." He held Mulan's hand, pushed his left shoulder to his right, and walked forward and backward.
While teaching, he said:
"After opening the bow, you must be stable and decisive, continue to strengthen your right hand, and at the same time quickly open the three fingers of the string and shoot the arrow!"
"Whew!" The arrow in Mulan's hand shot out and hit the red heart.
Mulan showed a simple smile.
"That's it for the rest of the day, keep up the good work!" Tuoba also smiled slightly and patted her on the shoulder, "But you don't have to practice for the time being, come with us." ”
"No!" Mulan hugged her fists again.
"Let's go, Abu Khan, go to the light cavalry battalion, let's go visit that general Yiji!" Tuoba Road.
Everyone followed to the light cavalry camp, and when they arrived at the camp, Yiji was still drunk in the gentle village with two female slaves in his arms.
"Come on, tie him up!" Tuoba shouted angrily.
Then a soldier tied up the sleeping Yiji, and when he saw the angry general, he was so frightened that Yiji was scared.
Only then did I wake up completely.
All the generals and lieutenants couldn't help but sweat for Yiji, and felt that it was too much for him to drink and get drunk, and to sleep in the barracks with a woman in his arms.
Tuoba didn't dispose of him all at once, and continued to watch the soldiers' drills.
Walk towards Li Jun's hussar camp, where the soldiers of the hussar camp are practicing archery in the field.
The captain of the guard, named Long Fei, observed in the group of soldiers for a while, then returned to Zhan Ying's side and whispered.
Zhan Ying walked to Tuoba's side, raised his chin to the honest-looking soldier not far away, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's him." ”
I saw that the man bent his bow and arrows, and the red hearts a hundred paces away were easily hit.
Tuoba came to the man's side, looked at him carefully, and nodded:
"Not bad! What's the name? ”
"The little one's name is Feng Xi." The man bowed down and said, his bearing was neither arrogant nor humble, and he was quite handsome.
"Feng Xi?" Tuoba Meiyu jumped slightly, his eyes converged, and he looked at him seriously: "How long have you been a soldier?" ”
"Back to the general, it's been less than three months, and I haven't officially been on the battlefield." Feng Xidao.
"Let's have a competition?" Tuoba looked at him and smiled slightly.
"The general is brave and good at fighting, he is the flying eagle general of the Great Wei, no one can match, how dare the small one compete with the general." Feng Xi bowed and said humbly.
"Feng Xi, when General Ben saw that you just pulled your bow and shot arrows, he knew that you were a good horse.
As for whether it is a maxima, can General Ben, Bole, be optimistic about you, although you can show your ability! "Tuobadao.
Then he shouted, "Bow." ”
Zhan Ying sent Tuoba's overlord bow.
All the generals and soldiers of the Eighth Battalion ran over to see the excitement when they heard that the general and the soldiers were competing.
The kid named Mulan also looked at the generals with sparkling eyes.
"Feng Xi, there is no general in front of you now, only an opponent." Tuoba said, handing him the bow in his hand, "This is the general's overlord bow, you come first, see how many arrows you can shoot in a row." ”
Feng Xi nodded slightly, and was not polite, took the overlord bow, stood up with two arrows buckle the string, pre-opened the bow and aimed, the arrow was off the string and shot towards the arrow target a hundred steps away, and the two arrows actually hit the red heart.
"Good ......" cheers and applause one after another.
When it was Tuoba's turn, Tuoba took three arrows, pushed his left shoulder and pulled the bow away from his right shoulder, and the three arrows shot out of the string, actually shooting at the core of Feng Xi's two arrows just now.
"Good! …… The general really lives up to his name! The applause and applause were even more enthusiastic.
"The small ones are really inferior to the big generals." Feng Xi was calm and relaxed, and said humbly.
"No, you're already good at archery." Tuoba nodded in appreciation.
Looking at the big bow in his hand, he said:
"This general's overlord bow was used by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then, and it is extremely powerful.
The bow body is made of dark iron, and the bowstring is the back tendon of the black dragon, which is not afraid of water and fire, and is not afraid of swords and guns.
Fei Pu can usually pull this bow out, which shows that you are extraordinary. ”
He looked at Feng Xi again, and saw that he had a sword on his waist, he pulled out his sword and looked at it, tried the blade, and nodded:
"Well, Qingfeng Sword, this sword is made of steel, although it is of the highest grade, after all, it can't be sharpened like clay."
"Let's compare swords again." Tuoba Road.
But he inserted Feng Xi's Qingfeng sword back into his scabbard, and led the way to the platform.
Feng Xi followed him to the general stage, and the soldiers were all watching from the audience.
Hua Mulan also watched them compete with excitement.
Tuoba pulled out his Chixiao sword and said to Feng Xi:
"This general's Chixiao sword is the sword of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sharpening iron like clay, it is not fair to you to your Qingfeng!"
He raised his voice again and said to Li Jun: "Hussar General, your Chengying is a delicate and elegant sword, so I will borrow your sword and use it!" ”
"Good!" Li Jun had already understood at this time that Tuoba was going to compete with the soldier, so he immediately untied the shadow on his waist.
Li Jun wanted to wait for Zhan Ying to come over to get the sword, but he wanted to try the skills of the soldier.
The sword was drawn out, and a sword flower was pulled, and Chengying flew straight towards Feng Xi suddenly.
Feng Xi suddenly saw the sword flying in the air, his body soared, and he flew in the air to catch the sword.
"Good! ……”
Feng Xi flashed his skills, and all the soldiers in the audience applauded.
The soldiers all favored people with equal status, and the soldiers who competed on the stage, Feng Xi in their eyes, just like the representatives of their ruffians in the battle, secretly hoped that Feng Xi would win.
Among the soldiers, there was a gray-bearded veteran, watching nervously.
"Sure enough, it's a good sword, General Xie Hussar gave the sword!" Feng Xi looked at the flickering sword in his hand and said to Li Jun respectfully.
"Feng Xi," Tuoba said: "The hussar general's Chengying, the general's Chixiao, both of them are peerless swords, and this general will not take advantage of you." ”
Feng Xi clenched his fists and said, "Please show mercy to the general's subordinates!" ”
The two of them went out to sea like dragons, the tiger went down the mountain, and the tiger roared and the dragon soared.
Tuoba's Chixiao Sword was full of light, and the Shadow Bearing Sword in Feng Xi's hand was also with him.
The two fought from the stage to the drum, and then to the flagpole, leaping and soaring, fighting nearly 100 moves, almost equal, equal, and the soldiers applauded.
After all, Tuoba has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has more experience in fighting the enemy than Feng Xi, so he is still slightly better, and the Great Wei God of War is not in vain, and he defeated Feng Xi after a hundred moves.
Tuoba's eyes were shining, patted Feng Xi on the shoulder, and said heroically to the audience:
"Today is really a good day, and it actually made General Ben unearth Maxima!"
Zhan Ying took Feng Xi's sword and returned it to Li Jun.
Li Jun looked at the soldiers on the stage, and was also a little shocked, and said in his heart that this person's archery and swordsmanship martial arts are extraordinary, and he can also fight with the general in nearly a hundred moves.
There was such a talent in his hussar camp, but he didn't realize that his vision was not as good as Tuoba's after all?
Mulan grinned slightly, and the gray-haired veteran among the soldiers also bowed his head happily.
"Thank you, General, for your mercy." Feng Xi bowed and said.
"The generals listened to the order, Feng Xi was promoted to Zhonglang General and the head of the archery chief of the Eighth Battalion, and he took office immediately!" Tuoba loudly announced, "The official letter of appointment will be delivered in a moment!" ”
As a flying eagle general, Tuoba can be promoted to a fourth-rank soldier without the approval of the emperor.
Zhonglang is a fourth-rank official, and he also serves as the head of the archery chief of the eighth battalion, a small soldier, and he jumped to such a position all of a sudden, which can be regarded as great luck from heaven.
"General Xie is promoted!" Feng Xi knelt down and arched his hand.
The gray-bearded old man in the audience was even more excited to wipe his tears.
"You all saw it? Practice your skills well, Feng Xi is a good example! Tuoba shouted to the soldiers.
"No, General Gaoyang Wang! ......" The soldiers replied loudly, looking at Feng Xi with envy.
"Instead of envying the fish in the abyss, it is better to retreat and close the net.
In the face of opportunity, everyone is equal!
As long as you have the ability, there will always be Bole appreciation! Tuoba said again.
"General Gaoyang Wang is mighty......" the soldiers cheered.
"In the barracks, there are rewards and punishments!" Tuoba said loudly, and suddenly his words turned sharply, "Take Yiji and all his crossbow teams!" ”
After a while, Yiji and his crossbow team were all escorted up, and Mulan also stood back in the queue.
Tuoba first ignored Yiji and asked the crossbowmen, "Why don't you practice crossbows today?" ”
The soldiers of the crossbow team looked at each other, and one of the soldiers looked straightforward and said:
"Deputy General B didn't give orders, and we don't know if we want to train today."
"Oh, you don't know if you want to train?"
Tuoba snorted coldly as if he had suddenly realized, and then said awe-inspiringly:
"You don't know how to train, why does Mulan know to train?!"
The group of soldiers of the crossbow team looked at each other, and looked at Mulan with some annoyance:
If it weren't for Mulan's hard work, how could they be lazy!
"Mulan is out of the ranks!"
Tuoba shouted, letting Mulan out of the line and away from the group of crossbowmen.
Mulan stepped aside.
"Now when you are recuperating and fighting your horses, as a crossbowman, it is your must do to practice your bow and crossbow every day.
Did your generals never tell you, or did you speak to them as generals?
Do you think you can take the opportunity to be lazy because you don't have a command to go up? ”
Tuoba continued to say coldly.
"The Great General's Forgiveness ......"
As soon as the soldiers saw the general's posture, they knew that the general was going to punish them, so they quickly knelt down and kowtowed:
"We will definitely remember in the future, even if we don't have the order to go to the peak, we will practice diligently every day!"
"Okay, except for Mulan, each of you will receive ten military sticks and take them down!" Tuoba shouted, "Learn a lesson in the future and learn archery from Mr. Feng!" ”
"No! ......" The crossbow team members were all apprehensive, and they were escorted down to be tortured.
"Mulan, a new recruit, also knows that you have to study hard and train hard to protect yourself when you go to the battlefield, otherwise, you can only become the enemy's ghost!"
Tuoba said loudly:
"Practicing martial arts is not only to win the battle, but also to save your own life, so that your parents, wives and children can reunite with you!"
Tuoba reprimanded, and then said:
"Hua Mulan is ambitious, so she was promoted to centurion and took those crossbowmen with her.
I hope you keep up the good work and have a better performance! ”
"General Xie cultivates!" Mulan knelt down and arched her hand.
Tuoba said:
"Mulan, you still haven't mastered the essentials of archery, so you have to learn from Feng Zhonglang in the future."
"No, General!" Mulan thanked the general.
got up again and bowed to Feng Xi and said, "Feng Zhonglang is good at archery, I hope Zhonglang will not hesitate to advise in the future." ”
"Mulan, as long as you are willing to learn, I, Feng Xi, will definitely teach with all my heart." Feng Xi said to Mulan.
Mulan nodded solemnly.
"There are green mountains in the chest, why bother to look at the peach blossoms with others.
Mulan, as long as you practice your skills, there will be a place for you to shine! Tuoba encouraged again.
"Thank you, General, for your encouragement!" Mulan's eyes rippled.
After Tuoba rewarded and punished the others, he turned back to Yiji.
"Yiji, look at your bow and crossbow team, so many people, for your good wine and greedy cup, drunk and gentle country being punished, how do you feel?" Tuoba Feng looked at Otoyoshi lightly.
"The last general should be damned, he shouldn't have been so drunk and delayed his training.
Please forgive the general, and the last general will definitely make meritorious service and make up for his mistakes. Otoyoshi kowtowed tremblingly.
Tuoba is ruthless, he has been thunderous early in the morning.
"You know you're damned, huh?"
Tuoba asked him with a sneer, and then the words turned sharply, and said to the soldiers:
"Soldiers, Liu Song covets my Great Wei heart and is not dead, and he is looking at me softly!
The army is weak and the people will decline, our family will be bullied everywhere, we are hot-blooded men, we should protect our family and defend the country, open up territory for the Great Wei, and make the Great Wei stronger and more prosperous! ”
"Open up the territory and make the Great Wei stronger and more prosperous! ......" cheered from the audience.
"A fly is tiny, and the white cloth is stained! Although the anthill is small, it collapses for thousands of miles! Tuoba looked at the audience and said awe-inspiringly.
Then he shouted: "Yiji! ”
"The end will be." Otoyoshi was already trembling and kneeling.
Tuoba turned to look at Yiji:
"My Great Wei army discipline is strict, as a deputy general, you disregarded military discipline, and during the training, you indulged in wine and ruined the hearts of our army!
If the battlefield is full of drunken people like you, the enemy will come to the tent and carry the beauty into the gentle country.
I, a Great Wei soldier, wouldn't I be completely slaughtered by the enemy and not know it? ”
"The general spares his life!" Otoyoshi became even more frightened.
"Soldiers, during the period of my Great Wei Dynasty, such scum appeared!
Using his power, he drank in the army, delayed military discipline, and demoralized our army!
You say, can General Ben still tolerate such a black sheep? ”
"I can't tolerate it! ...... "The soldiers are in turmoil, Yi Hun and Yi Ji have always relied on their military exploits, and they can do anything wrong in the military camp, but they are harsh to them.
"I'm going to let everyone in the world know today that in my army, from generals to soldiers, all are treated equally, with rewards and punishments!"
Tuoba said awe-inspiringly:
"Yiji, delay in training, no military law, no forgiveness for killing!"
He just wanted to pull out his Chixiao sword, but he looked at Yi Ji and said, "You don't deserve to enjoy the Chixiao of this general!" ”
With a twist of his body, a cloud of red glow suddenly appeared in his hand, and he actually pulled out Feng Xi's Qingfeng sword not far away in an instant, and with a wave, it wiped out Yiji's neck.
Before Yiji could react, he died under the sword of Tuoba.
Tuoba looked at Feng Xi's Qingfeng Sword and said with a smile:
"Stain the sword of General Zhonglang, next time I have a chance, General Ben will find you a good sword!"
"General Xie!" Feng Xi took back the sword that Tuoba handed over.
"You're all gone, let's go practice!" Tuoba said to the soldiers, then looked at Feng Xi and said, "General Feng Zhonglang, start your duties now!" ”
"No, General!"
After Feng Xi bowed down to answer, he returned to the shooting training ground, and while walking beside the soldiers who practiced archery, he taught loudly while correcting their posture:
"Draw the bow accurately, and open the bow steadily."
He pressed the arm of a soldier slightly, and then pulled the shoulder of a soldier, and said calmly as he walked between the soldiers:
"Keep your arms balanced, keep a certain amount of stability, shoot decisively, don't aim twice, and don't hesitate!
The body method should be correct, the force should be flat, the bow should be successful. Come, let me show you. ”
Feng Xi went to demonstrate archery to the soldiers, calmly and calmly, and every arrow hit the red heart.
Tuoba smiled and nodded silently, gently patted Zhan Ying beside him, and said in a low voice:
"Hey, the wine in the barracks is mixed with water, and you are really generous enough to give the real wine to Na Yiji, and spoil such a good burning knife."
Zhan Ying and Tuoba looked at each other and smiled, and then everyone left.
