Zhao Ta was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said with everyone: "King Shengming! ”

Wang Qingdao: "Although Zhong Lingxi didn't use all his strength, Li Aiqing's martial arts are still remarkable, and he won't be inferior to that Zhao Ta'er!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Your Majesty, even if that little boy is a disciple of Sect Master Zhou's mantle, the minister is not afraid, the minister is willing to stick a knife in the king's ribs, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and then die!" ”

Wang Qing said with a smile: "Okay, good, the lonely family thinks that Zhao Ta'er can't be Zhou Dong's mantle disciple, Li Aiqing can't beat him, by the way, Prime Minister, can you know about Zhou Dong's mantle disciple?" ”

Li Zhu said: "Although the minister doesn't know whether Zhou Dong has a mantle disciple, but Zhao Ta, the king of Qi, is definitely not, and Zhou Tong will not choose a prince to pass on the mantle." ”

Wang Qing nodded and said: "I remember that the prime minister told Gu that he had fought with Zhou Tong, so now I might as well talk to the generals, so I can be wary of Zhao Ta'er." ”

Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this, he had never heard of this, why did his master actually fight with Li Zhu?

Li Zhu said with a smile: "Very few people know about this, but it has been about ten years. ”

Decade? Zhao Ta secretly calculated in his heart that it should be when Zhou Tong was a teacher of Tianzi in the Imperial Boxing Gym, and it was also when he first worshipped Zhou Dong as a teacher.

"That year, the minister went to Tokyo, and wanted to see the prosperity of Kaifeng Mansion, and meet the martial arts masters of Tokyo City."

Zhao Tan listened attentively, thinking in his heart, I'm afraid it's more than that, right? It is estimated that Li Zhu was antipathetic at that time, and he went to Tokyo to probably find out about the situation of the imperial court.

"As a result, no one in the rivers and lakes of Tokyo is the opponent of the minister, and the minister heard that Zhou Tong was in the imperial boxing gym with the name of a teacher, so he went to the palace for half a month to compete, but he only saw Zhou Tong once......" Li Zhu said here and thought slightly.

Zhao Ta knew that Zhou Tong's Tianzihao teacher back then was indeed named, and he could go and leave at any time, and he was not always in the Royal Boxing Gym.

"Zhou Dong's fame is naturally much greater than that of his ministers, even now, but his ministers are thirty years old, and this fame is just a matter of fame." Li Zhu laughed at himself when he said this.

Wang Qing said above: "Why should the prime minister be humble, who will be more famous in another thirty years?" In Gu's opinion, it won't take thirty years, I'm afraid it won't be long before the prime minister's reputation will surpass the grandmasters, and no one can compare with him. ”

Li Zhu said: "What the king said is very true, even at that time, the minister was not convinced, and finally saw it in the Royal Boxing Gym, the minister naturally could not easily give up the opportunity, so he invited Zhou Dong to fight, but no matter what the minister said, Zhou Dong just shouldn't." ”

"Later, the minister followed him to Zhou Dong's house, so he didn't leave, lived for three days, ate and drank for nothing, danced the sword in the courtyard every day, Zhou Dong watched the minister's swordsmanship, and after a long time, he was a little itchy, so he played with a gun on the side."

"In this way, for a few days, they began to accuse each other of flaws in their martial arts, and they disagreed with each other, so they made an appointment to compete on the bank of the Yellow River."

Speaking of this, Li Zhu paused, and thought for a moment before saying: "The minister has only studied kendo all his life, but Grandmaster Zhou is a spear, and he also has amazing skills in bows and arrows. ”

"In a battle on the bank of the Yellow River, Zhou Dong used a total of seven marksmanship, and the minister used nine swordsmanship, during which he earned a three-star moon arrow!"

"Those seven marksmanship, there are open and closed, fast and slow, complex and simple, rigid and soft, the seven marksmanship almost all the killer characteristics of the gun stick are used, it is the ultimate in the way of the gun!"

"Even if ten years have passed, those marksmanship are still remembered in the hearts of the ministers, which are the Seven Star Bright Moon Spear, the Silver Dragon Sea Pounding Spear, the Lightning Spear, ......"

Zhao Ta listened to Li Zhu read the names of these marksmanship, he knew these marksmanship in the whole meeting, but basically he just knew it, and he had never used it.

Two of these seven marksmanship can be used immediately and under the horse, very fast, Zhao Ta thought in his heart, these marksmanship is coherent, the monarch and the minister complement each other, complement each other, there are almost no flaws, and there are very few in the world that can take all of them.

Before Zhao Tan came to Luzhou, he had already calculated in his heart that he would never use Zhou Dong's slightest martial arts, even those famous martial arts that had anything to do with the imperial court.

There is no shortage of fists, feet, guns and sticks in his hands, and in the arsenal of Emperor Taizong, there are not only the remnants of the weapons and armor of some famous generals in the turbulent times of the late Tang Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, but also the incomplete copies of the martial arts tricks of these famous generals.

Although these martial arts moves are not complete, they are all real killer moves, and when these tricks are used, few people in today's world can see the roots.

Emperor Taizong has been martial arts and poison all his life, and he is extremely attentive to these two ways, so he built an arsenal of poison depots, and his personal martial arts are also superb, and he is also treacherous with poisonous methods, and he claims to be the first person in the court.

However, although Emperor Taizong has excellent personal martial arts, he has no ability to make achievements in commanding troops and fighting, and he has no talent in military affairs.

Originally, after ascending to the pole, he wanted to learn from Li Shimin, highlight his martial arts, and correct the world's criticism of his throne.

Taizu wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, Xijing, then Taizong did not move, Taizu said that he wanted to rule the world with scholars, Taizong said that he would not kill the official, Taizu said that he wanted to save money to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Taizong swore to return to the sixteen states of Yanyun!

As a result, the first Northern Expedition, the Battle of the Gaoliang River, the first two were still small victories, but they did not know that they fell into the Khitan trap, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu obliquely divided their troops to attack, and Taizong lost his armor, not only was the army scattered, but he was also hit by two wrong-tailed wolf tooth barbed arrows, and almost lost his life.

On the way to escape, there was no carriage, if it weren't for Hu Yanqing's ancestor Hu Yanzan who got a donkey cart out of nowhere, carrying the seriously injured Taizong, and running all the way for more than 160 miles, I am afraid that he would not have been able to escape this catastrophe.

This battle took place in the Gaoliang River, and Emperor Taizong fled overnight in a donkey cart, even ignoring the army, so that he won the nickname of "the god of the Gaoliang River" in later generations.

After returning to Tokyo for two years of repairs, Taizong's martial arts heart was ready to move again, and he still wanted to use force to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

So this was a gathering of 200,000 troops, divided into three routes, and brought many fierce generals, including Pan Mei, Yang Ye, Tian Chongjin, Cao Bin, Cui Yanjin and others, and set off to the north.

In order to save face, Taizong made a bloody investment this time, and the Northern Expedition was very smooth at the beginning, Cao Bin, Tian Chongjin, Pan Mei and other generals successively conquered Gu'an Nancheng, Huanzhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Yunzhou and other places.

He should have been happy to win the battle, but after learning the lesson of the last time, Emperor Taizong became worried, and always felt that something was not quite right, how could this be exactly the same as the one two years ago? It started off well, but what happened next? Later, Taizong didn't dare to think about it.

But as he expected, the Khitan Empress Dowager Xiao adjusted her strategy and aimed the main force at the Song army's Eastern Route Army, which was also the main force of the Song army, as long as this army was defeated, the other two Song armies did not have to worry.

Without waiting for Taizong to react, Yelu Xiuge led people to cut off Cao Bin's grain route, and the 100,000 army in Cao Bin's hands survived in Zhuozhou for more than ten days, but he really had nothing to eat, so he had to withdraw the army.

As soon as the Eastern Route Army withdrew, the overall layout of the Song army was chaotic, and Yelu Hugo took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack, Cao Bin couldn't stop it at all, and ran all the way, and tens of thousands of Song troops were destroyed.

At this moment, without waiting for Taizong to scold his mother, Yelu Xian came with an army of 100,000, killed more than 10,000 Song troops, and recaptured the cities captured by the Song army, and this northern expedition ended in failure again.

After the two Northern Expedition fiascos, Emperor Taizong began to doubt his military skills, but although he couldn't lead the troops and command, he couldn't do without the throne, and if he wanted to keep the throne and face, he had to do something more.

Emperor Taizong saw that there was no hope of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, so he wanted to work defense, Taiping Xingguo four years, the Liao army invaded south, Emperor Taizong suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, he carefully studied the defensive tactics for a whole year, and finally came in handy.

He asked the army in front not to do it first, drew a formation map by himself, and sent it to the front for the soldiers to arrange their troops.

In fact, it is not necessary to arrange a formation on the battlefield, especially in a large-scale field battle, the formation has little effect, but in order to show the commander's means and skills, this platoon needs to be used.

There are many kinds of famous marshals in the world, such as Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, which belong to the offensive type, and Lian Po and Li Mu are defensive types.

After the formation map was sent to the front, those generals looked at each other, one by one dumbfounded, according to the layout of the Taizong formation, the gap between the various formations of the Song army was too large, and it was definitely the focus of the breakthrough of the Great Liao army, and it would definitely die if they did so.

The generals discussed for a while, and they could not refute Taizong's face, nor could they defeat the battle, so they had to make changes to the battle formation and fill up those gaps, and finally this defensive battle was a complete victory, Taizong was naturally overjoyed, and named this formation "Pingrong Wanquan Array"!

In fact, people who really understand military affairs will know at a glance that in addition to the beautiful name, this battle is full of loopholes and cannot be fought at all.

As for Taizong, does he know that this battle array is useless? It is possible that he knew about it, but even if he knew, he would continue to get it, and then he would research several more and send them all to the border.

In addition to testing his own defensive skills, he used various battle formations to show his martial arts.

The generals who can play the formation are not just ordinary handsome talents, but both civil and military, obviously Taizong wants to tell the world that I Zhao Guangyi has both civil and military skills, and I am the most suitable official family choice in the Great Song Dynasty.

And there is to control the border generals!

Yongxi Northern Expedition, that is, the Second Northern Expedition, Emperor Taizong lost contact with the army for a short time, and as a result, the generals in front actually planned to go back to Tokyo to push Taizu's son Zhao Dezhao as the emperor, which made Taizong angry, so he not only sent the formation map drawn by himself on the front line, but also sent a group of civilian officials to supervise the army to watch those generals.

Since then, Emperor Taizong has never personally conquered, and his personal martial arts have also slackened, just eating, drinking and having fun every day, being in the harem, and forcing Xiao Zhouhou.

As for the two secret vaults, Emperor Taizong also went missing, but the arsenals have always existed, and the poison arsenal was later destroyed by order during the Renzong Dynasty.

Since Emperor Taizong, the children of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty are no longer interested in guns and sticks, after all, Taizong's several defeats have also proved that it is extremely difficult for personal martial arts to affect the battlefield military, no matter how powerful personal martial arts are, it is difficult to control the victory or defeat on the battlefield, and the children of the royal family rarely go to practice martial arts, and the arsenal has been sealed for more than 100 years, until Zhao Ta opened it.

The hegemony practiced by Zhao Ta was obtained from the arsenal.

The tricks and martial arts in the arsenal, most of them can be used in horse fighting, although there are few foot battles, and there is no such complete as Baquan.

As for another kind of martial art in Zhao Ta's hands that can't be seen, it is from the Wanshou Daozang compiled by Huang Shang.

Emperor Daojun collected the world's Taoist classics, many of which are a single book of Taoism, which records that there is no lack of martial arts, he has been walking around since he was a child, and he will not forget it after seeing it, Huang Gu's martial arts are also from Wanshou Daozang, but both of them are according to the gourd to draw the scoop, no one to instruct, and many of the things that have been practiced are different.

Therefore, no matter how Zhao Ta gets off the horse immediately, it is difficult for anyone to see the roots, even if Li Zhu does not mention that he has fought with Zhou Tong, he will not use the martial arts taught by Zhou Tong.

At this time, Li Zhu described the characteristics of the seven marksmanship used by Zhou Tong, and the generals and heroes on the opposite side were speechless, but the gun could still be used like this.

After finishing speaking, everyone's eyes looked at Li Zhu, including Zhao Ta, who also had a warm eye.

Li Zhu smiled slightly, knowing that these people wanted to know the outcome of that battle.
