Although the Emperor and Song Dynasty were civilian officials in charge of the troops, military generals trained the troops, and war generals led the troops, Tong Guan also knew that if he actually operated like this, then the first two defeats were the result.

Even the elite soldiers of the Western Army of the Emperor and Song Dynasty were trained by the generals of the past dynasties, and they had never heard of training for others, but they could win a big battle without being in charge of the army.

Tong Guan coughed twice and said, "Li Xuanfu, come, drink, let's talk about this matter slowly for the time being." ”

Li Gang said unhappily: "Tong Jingluo, what do you mean?" Don't you agree with this official's opinion? ”

Tong Guan snorted coldly and said: "The defense of Yanshan Mansion Road is in charge of this seat, Li Xuanfu will not act beyond his authority, right?" ”

At a banquet, because of the discord between the civil and military, Li Gang got up angrily, and even scolded Fan Zhuoyuan with contempt before leaving.

"The martial arts of that generation, the heart has no country, sooner or later it will be a disaster!"

Fan Zhuoyuan raised his eyebrows and replied: "If Wenchen knows the soldiers, why do you need the generals to lead the troops to fight to the death?" ”

Li Gang was furious, Fan Zhuoyuan snorted coldly, but he didn't even look at the other party.

"Good! Since you are so proud of your achievements and soaring, I will go to the saints and visit you! ”

Tong Guan said coldly: "My subordinates, don't work hard to reprimand Li Xuanfu!" If you go to this book, this seat will also go to this seat, presumably Cai Xianggong will also follow Li Xuanfu to interfere in military affairs! ”

Li Gang glanced at Tong Guan fiercely, scolded him angrily, and walked away.

Tong Guan was also so angry that the other party's face turned blue, and finally looked at Fan Zhuoyuan and said: "Oh, General Fan can endure his anger for a while, why bother fighting with this old horseman, it's just boring."

Besides, the Emperor and the Song Dynasty originally suppressed the military with literature, you were not originally from the Song Dynasty, and you may not be used to it, but this is the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have never seen a military general dare to talk to an important minister like you.

If it weren't for this seat, Li Gang's fold would go up, and you, the official who appeased the envoy, would just be just right. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and didn't speak, but he was a good friend with the upright Wenchen faction in the court, and he also pushed himself one step closer to Tong Guan Cai Jing and other traitors.

But an upright minister like Li Gang, who has a country in his heart, doesn't pay attention to Fang *** at all, and actually wants to use himself as a tool man, wantonly seizing his elite soldiers, and really wants to follow them to fight against foreign enemies, I'm afraid I don't know how to die.

Fan Zhuoyuan gnawed half of the pig's feet in the sauce on the plate, and said, "Before entering the city today, I met the sword demon Duguhong on the bank of the Sanggan River. ”

Tong Guan asked Fan Zhuoyuan to add food again, he already knew that Fan Zhuoyuan's food was different from ordinary people, and when he heard about it, he was a little surprised.

"How can you be sure he's a sword demon?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said suddenly: "I fought with him, and there was no winner. ”

"What?!"

Tong Guan stood up in shock, "You fought with him, and you haven't won or lost yet?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Tong Shuai, I see that you often practice internal qigong on weekdays, and your luck is long, but the sound is ten miles, and among the people I have seen, your internal strength is also extremely profound."

Can you tell me about this Dugu Hong, known as one of the two pinnacle kendo masters in the world, his true strength is placed in the world, at which level can he go? ”

Tong Guan glanced at Fan Zhuoyuan again, but did not immediately answer Fan Zhuoyuan's question, only said: "You did it with him this morning, are you sure he used all his strength?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said: "He used the Dugu Nine Sword to fight with me, but he actually only used four swords, so he said that the next five swords can't defeat me, but if you use a heavy sword, ......"

"If you use a heavy sword, I'm afraid it's not about winning or losing, but about life and death!" Tong Guan sat down and said.

"I'm not afraid of life and death, but I'm curious, how powerful is that heavy sword?"

Tong Guan thought for a while and said, "Since he learned the heavy sword, he has never really used it, because when the heavy sword is drawn, even if he doesn't swing the sword, the sword intent from the sword has already defeated the person who is about to fight." ”

This statement was too mysterious, and Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't understand it for a while, "Sword intent? ”

"Have you ever seen the mental battle between two masters before they go to war?"

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head.

"The psychological battle is the competition of their respective spiritual ideas, and it is rumored that when the psychological battle is fought, the two of them are within a radius of several zhang and their martial arts are the place where their martial arts are competed.

The true meaning of martial arts seems to be able to turn into invisible phantoms and appear in their own minds (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 24: The Principles of the Way of the Sword

Fight each other, but don't think that it really exists only in the mind!

If someone who doesn't know their intentions intrudes into the range of the battle, even if the two sides of the duel don't do anything, just by killing the intent in their minds, they can severely damage the intruder, this is a mental war! ”

Fan Zhuoyuan was shocked, this statement was simply incomprehensible to him, after all, it had gone beyond the material decisive battle and reached the elusive spiritual level.

From this point of view, Duguhong's hidden strength may be more hidden than himself, so what about Gao Shenxing, the sword god who is as famous as him?

Tong Guan said again at this time: "The Dugu Nine Swords used by Dugu Hong when he fought with you should actually not use all his strength.

When he fights with you, he should only use the nine styles instead of the nine meanings, the nine true intentions of the sword! The people you can see on the rivers and lakes are rare.

In short, Dugu Hong, this person, it is rumored that the family came from the Dugu Valve of the previous dynasty, and his amazing talent is enough to overwhelm today's martial arts.

He was also called by Cihang Jingzhai as the person who was most likely to reach the realm of the Shattered Void with his simplest and purest swordsmanship! If you can fight him or not in the future, try not to fight him. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan frowned slightly, it turned out that he had never used all his strength with the four swords, no wonder he spoke so arrogantly, this is very interesting.

"Tong Shuai, what do you know about Gao Shenxing, who is as famous as the Sword Demon?"

Tong Guan said: "Gao Shenxing is a Korean, and his martial arts have been passed down to Yijian Pavilion, and he has always regarded the Central Plains Dynasty as a great enemy.

Since his swordsmanship pays attention to a Yi character, it is naturally a layer of nets, step by step, and sword fighting is like Yi chess.

Many masters of this dynasty have died under his sword, and the most tragic is the martial arts masters of the three sects of the Daomen and the four sects of Buddhism, all of whom died from their fair and honest challenges.

Speaking of which, he and Dugu Hong invited him to fight a decisive battle in Yancheng, and he was also quite bold, although he borrowed the Jin State Mission as a shelter, but there were not many people who wanted to seek revenge against him here. ”

"How is his martial arts strength compared to Dugu Hong?"

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Before the winner is decided, no one can judge, after all, with his record, he is really no worse than Dugu Hong, and he is twenty years older than Dugu Hong."

Regardless of swordsmanship and sword intent, it is only internal cultivation, and Duguhong is beyond reach. ”

After discussing the matter of Duguhong and Gao Shenxing, Fan Zhuoyuan said goodbye.

In Yanjing City, Tong Guanzhuan left a mansion for Fan Zhuoyuan to live in, and even hired housekeepers, servants, maids, cooks, etc.

Even if Fan Zhuoyuan does not live in the city on weekdays, but eats and lives with all the soldiers in Juyongguan, everything in the palace has not changed, and he is the only one who has this treatment, followed by Wang Yu.
