Chapter 70: Master Zhang
When the sky was about to get dark, everyone had already rushed to the bottom of the mountain, Wang Yangming looked up, saw that the top of the mountain was covered with snow, and thought that what he expected was good, as long as he went up the mountain today, the problem of the water source would be solved. When he saw that it was getting late, he ordered the people to set up camp. He pointed to the six people who were following him in the Guozi Prison, and said: "Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Sister, Tenth Senior Brother, Eleventh Senior Brother, Twelfth Senior Sister, you take your guys and follow me up the mountain to fetch water, and the rest of the people rest under the mountain, pay attention to vigilance, practice the Taishang Induction Heart Sutra I taught you with your heart, and don't be lazy!"
Su Mu and the others agreed, but the soldiers who were left behind all had bitter faces, Wang Yangming saw that everyone was not very happy, his eyebrows furrowed, and said, "What, don't you want to practice?"
Xiong Zhen was the most courageous, and stepped forward to complain: "Captain Wang, we are all rough people, practicing this internal strength and mental method, we have to store qi, and we have to meditate, and the brothers fight and kill, that's fine, but this cultivation of internal strength is really too tormenting." ”
It turned out that Wang Yangming felt that the Hu people were skilled in arching horses, and felt that no matter how well his army was trained, it would be impossible to surpass the Hu people in equestrian and archery skills in the short term. However, there are very few cultivators among the Hu people, and there have been no too famous great cultivators among the Hu people for thousands of years, which reminds him that if the Xia soldiers can cultivate internal strength, then the Xia people will inevitably jump up a notch in terms of martial arts and long-lasting combat ability.
He decided to start with the Eagle Yang Army, so he found the most common internal exercise method in the world, the Taishang Induction Heart Sutra, and ordered all the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army to practice. Although this Taishang Induction Heart Sutra is ordinary, it is also the authentic heart method of Xuanmen, step by step, without the slightest danger, but these soldiers are not even literate, let alone able to dive into the heart to practice.
Wang Yangming ordered Su Mu to be the chief teacher, for everyone to talk about the practice method, after this month of training, everyone is finally counted in the internal strength of the entry, has trained more than 30 soldiers who have broken through the first grade. It's just that practice necessarily requires meditation and meditation, and these people are all idle, and they often fall asleep after meditating for a while. Wang Yangming set a strict rule, but anyone who fell asleep while practicing internal strength had to endure double physical training, which made everyone persevere.
Wang Yangming said: "What you are doing now, if you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, you will be grateful for everything I asked you to do today." Practice it all, don't be naughty. ”
Xiong Zhen saw that the resistance was ineffective, so he had to go stupidly. Wang Yangming, Su Mu and the other seven people brought a large skin bag for water, a total of seven, each of which could hold fifty catties of water, and went to the snow mountain.
Wang Yangming has a big move in his body, mountaineering and wading in the water is simpler for him than eating, Su Mu's family heirloom light skills to help the wind and swing willows are also advanced methods in light skills, and the rest of them all have their own unique light skills, so in less than half an hour, they have already reached the snow line. Wang Yangming raised his eyes and looked around, seeing that under the sunset, the snow had also turned golden, which was really beautiful, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Cangshan bears snow, bright candle Tiannan, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"
Su Mu listened to him and chanted repeatedly: "Cangshan bears snow, bright candle Tiannan, what a good sentence!"
Wang Yangming pulled out the Zangfeng heavy sword, inserted a sword into the snow, pried up a large piece of ice and snow, supported it with the sword body, and transported the internal force of the fire and greed knife, the snow melted in an instant, and Su Mu hurriedly took the skin bag and took it. Wang Yangming acted in accordance with the law, and within an hour, all eight leather bags were filled. Chen Baxian smiled: "I don't want to be greedy for fire and have such a wonderful use." It's just that if Marshal Boyan knew that you were using his talisman to do this, I don't know how he would feel?"
Wang Yangming said with a smile: "The marshal loves the army like a son, and he will definitely not blame me if he knows that I used this fire greed knife to find water for our Yingyang army." ”
Everyone nodded yes, happily went down the snowy mountain, met a few wild beasts passing by on the way, and grabbed them down the mountain. When I returned to the bottom of the mountain, I saw that the soldiers were practicing internal skills, and they were also very obedient. Wang Yangming didn't bother everyone, and poured all the water in his skin into the waterwheel, solving the urgent need of Qing Shui. And he set up a bonfire, and roasted all the beasts. Some soldiers had already smelled the fragrance, opened their eyes, and saw that it was barbecue, they were all overjoyed, and came over and said, "Improve the food tonight!"
Wang Yangming said: "Everyone has a share, don't rob it." So he divided the meat with the multitude. But a hundred people eat a few beasts, where can they be full. At the moment, I still take out the firewood and rice and bury the pot to make rice.
And when they had eaten, they rested. Wang Yangming took out the map and said to Gu Xifeng and the others: "We have now left Jiayuguan for 1,500 miles and gone deep into the hinterland of the desert. I don't think we need to move forward, so we turn north from here, and after traveling another thousand miles, we turn to the southwest and return to Jiayuguan. ”
Everyone nodded yes and went to sleep.
On the second day, everyone immediately set out from camp, and where they passed, they encountered more than a dozen Hu troops wandering in the desert, and all of them were killed, and the notoriety of the white-robed army spread all over the desert again, and the military song without clothes also became the clarion call for death.
After a ten-day trek, Wang Yangming and others returned to Jiayuguan again. As early as they rushed to a hundred miles below the city of Jiayuguan, they had already released signal flares to notify the city. About an hour, a herald rushed out of the city to greet him, and when he saw Wang Yangming and others, he stepped forward and saluted: "Captain Wang, the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army are working hard. ”
Wang Yangming greeted him and listened to him continue: "Marshal Boyan has an order, ordering Captain Wang to rush to the army immediately on a fast horse, and he has important matters to discuss. Captain Wang, please don't hesitate to work hard, let's go with the next official. ”
Wang Yangming didn't know what Boyan was anxious to see him, so he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he changed the fresh horse brought by the herald, and ordered the rest of the Yingyang army to return to the city slowly, and he rode his horse to Jiayuguan with the herald.
Entering the pass, Wang Yangming didn't have time to remove his armor, so he went to Boyan's tent, and saw that Boyan was already waiting in the tent, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, who was majestic, but he was wearing court clothes, and he was expected to be a court official, not a soldier. Wang Yangming saluted Boyan, and Boyan saw that his face was full of weather, but his spirit was vigorous, and he said with a smile: "Captain Wang's expedition this time, I heard that it was a complete victory?"
Wang Yangming said with a smile: "In March, we fought with the enemy fifty times, won all battles, beheaded more than 5,000 people, and several soldiers of our army were slightly wounded. ”
Bo Yan stroked his palms and laughed, quite satisfied, and said to the middle-aged man: "Lord Zhang, do you see the results of my Eagle Yang Army, but you can still enter your eyes?"
