After dinner in the evening, Zhao Ta and Yuan Jing watched Yuan Ying play with a sword in the small square.

Yuan Ying carried eight swords on his back, all of them were treasure soldiers who sharpened iron like clay, one was Li Huangzhu's Qiushui Changtian Sword, and the other seven were the blades of the seven sons of the Divine Owl.

She was triumphant at this time, talking about the world, I am afraid that there is no one more than her sword, Master Dog just asked her to practice marksmanship, and none of the treasure guns practiced what marksmanship? Or use the sword to be comfortable.

Just look at Yuan Ying's flashing and moving, and his own Hu made up a set of swordsmanship, such as the Aolong Sword, the Feiwen Sword, the Soul Sword, the Aoki Sword, the Star Sword, the Heavenly Storm Sword, and the Mingyan Sword, took turns in their hands, and finally the Qiushui Changtian Sword came out and shouted: "Master, look at my Ten Thousand Swords Dynasty!" ”

She sandwiched a sword hilt between her two fingers, which just happened to be able to operate eight swords, just like a peacock opening the screen, which was very good-looking.

Zhao Ta reached out and touched his chin: "Ten Thousand Swords Dynasty Sect? ”

Ever since he fought with Yutai in the Tianshan Divine Eagle Palace, and temporarily practiced the Seventh Path of the Firmament Transformation and the Fourteenth Sword of Death, he had completely stabilized the realm of the Great Grandmaster.

Even the realm of the Great Grandmaster.

At this moment, his understanding of kendo has changed and changed.

From seeing mountains not mountains, seeing water is not water, I have changed back to seeing mountains and mountains, and seeing water or water.

It's already back to basics, and it's a big coincidence.

What I see is no longer the move itself, but the "meaning" contained in the move, the meaning that is in harmony with oneself, and the meaning that is in harmony with the nature of heaven and earth.

This is a prerequisite for comprehending the realm of heaven and man, and if you don't know the meaning of all things in the world, no matter how high your combat power is, it is absolutely impossible to touch the gate of the realm of heaven and man.

Zhao Ta narrowed his eyes at the moment, looking at this rebel, he was really able to surprise him.

Although Yuan Ying's random fabrication and only seeking fancy and good-looking "Ten Thousand Swords Dynasty Sect" is useless, it has no effect on the competition at all, and it can neither fight nor kill people, but when Zhao Ta watched this swordsmanship, he suddenly felt a trace of extremely rare and precious "meaning", which was born from his heart.

Of course, this "meaning" actually has nothing to do with Yuan Ying, it is Zhao Ta who saw her peacock-like swordsmanship, thought of the side, thought of the things in the sky and the earth, towards the blue sea and the twilight, it was a corner of self-limitation, and suddenly realized a trace of "meaning".

But this is actually related to Yuan Ying, if she doesn't practice any Ten Thousand Swords Dynasty Sect here, Zhao Ta will not think about the world and give birth to that trace of meaning at this moment and here.

His body did not move, his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, as if he had forgotten all the troubles of the world, and he sat quietly as if he was detached.

Yuan Ying finished the swordsmanship, and threw the eight swords into the air in turn, holding the scabbard in his hand, "snorting" a few refreshing movements, and the swords all fell into the sheath.

This hand is also beautiful, but it is also useless, I have never seen a sword so closed after a fight, if the other party is not dead, suddenly burst into a sneak attack, at this time there is no blade in the hand, but it is a fatal thing.

"Master, Master, how am I practicing? Is this swordsmanship comparable to the kind of swordsmanship you have against the Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains? Yuan Ying ran over and asked like a treasure.

She asked Zhao Ta to teach the swordsmanship before, but Zhao Ta didn't pass it on, saying that the swordsmanship would go crazy if the great master didn't learn it, and 10,000 ants would be uncomfortable when they got into the body, and finally they would have to bleed and hang up.

Yuan Ying was frightened and didn't dare to mention it anymore, but she couldn't bear to learn the sword, so she began to create it out of thin air again, and then she felt good about herself, hypnotizing herself, and she already felt that the sword was not weaker than Zhao Ta.

When Zhao Ta killed the seventh son of the god owl, he used the thirteen swords to kill the great master, and later Yu Siguo used the fourteenth sword and the seventh change in the cave, and rushed directly to the Dacheng realm, but that Yuan Ying didn't see it, only saw the thirteenth sword.

Yuan Jing couldn't help but laugh beside him, looked at Zhao Ta, Zhao Ta also looked over, the two looked at each other, Zhao Ta nodded and said: "It's good, if this last sword collection technique, it would be better to change it to a trick." ”

"Master, what tricks do you change to?" Yuan Ying was stunned when she heard this, but she really didn't think about it, she just felt that the method of collecting the sword was very majestic and free.

Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and said, "Twenty-eight, look, you have so many swords, I'm afraid that no one in the world can compare, if a sword stabs on the other side, can you use the scabbard to catch it?" One person on the other side, then take a scabbard, five people take five, no matter whether you can twist the sword or not, the other party has no weapon in his hand, don't you take advantage of it? Maybe they'll kill each other in one go! ”

"That's right!" Yuan Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, why didn't she think of this? It seems that Master Dog still has two strokes, and this kind of weird move can also be thought of, worthy of being a great master.

"Lord Wang, is this okay?" Yuan Jing was a little thoughtful when he heard this, although it sounded very reasonable, but under the careful tasting, there was something wrong with everything.

"It can be done, Sister Nineteen, I have figured out what posture to use to catch the sword, I can use a push window to look at the moon, and I can also use a Su Qin back sword......" Yuan Ying stepped forward as she spoke, her eyes were full of longing: "When the time comes, I will catch it with a sheath, and then I will stab out with a sword at my own time, how can the other party dodge?" It's simply a surprise, an unpreparedness, and a success! ”

"Smack!" Zhao Ta raised his hand and slammed a chestnut bomb: "What do you think!" ”

"Master, what's wrong......" Yuan Ying immediately hugged her head to save her life, with a puzzled look on her face.

"How easy is it to connect a sword to a sword? How can you just talk about it, if you don't practice it tens of thousands of times and 100,000 times, how can you succeed? I still want to make it happen now, what a dream! Zhao Tan scolded.

"Then I, then I'll practice ...... now," Yuan Ying muttered.

"What practice! Now practice my guns! Zhao Ta said: "Do the first three tricks of the brilliant marksmanship well!" ”

"Okay, Master......" Yuan Ying couldn't help but pout.

Two days later, it was already September 13, Zhao Tan personally led the army north to fight the city of Kedun, at this time the city had not yet fallen into the hands of the Jin State, and the Jurchens had not yet sent troops to the west.

Although the city is not a famous Xiongguan Pass, it is an important place.

Sitting on 20,000 cavalry, not to mention, it is still a horse farm for the reserve of the Liao State, and one purpose of Zhao Ta's attack on Kedun City is to clear the northbound obstacles, and the other purpose is to seize horses.

There were still about 2,000 horses left in the Iron Harrier, and it was difficult for Longyou and Hexi to come up with them, and there were few horses on the Uighur side, so it was not cheap to pick out one hundred and eighty horses, so Zhao Ta's eyes fell on Kedun City.

He mobilized a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, asked Li Yanxian to lead and command with full authority, and went directly to the northern grassland to kill.

Kedun City is also a mixed place of many ethnic groups, Khitan, Tatar, Dangxiang, Turkic, and even the Kurasi people who migrated from around the Hanhai Sea in the Great North, which is the "brown bear" tribe in later generations.

When the soldiers reached Kedun, they immediately went to war, and the resistance in the city was extremely fierce.

At first, he didn't even care that Zhao Ta had many soldiers on his side, and the cavalry went out of the city to charge, but after three or two heavy losses, he retreated into the city.

Li Yanxian then commanded the army to sweep the surroundings, and all the Tatar Turkic parties and other guerrilla scattered people were sent out hundreds of miles away, especially damaging the vehicles and baggage of these people, so that they could not flee with tents, and had no daily necessities, so that they would not come back to harass them in a short time.

Then he began to storm the city of Kedun, but the city of Kedun was very stubborn, although it was a dry city, but relying on the fact that there were many people in it, and the food and grass were not short, he would rather die than surrender, and for a while the corpses inside and outside the city were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

At this moment, it is only three or four days away from the end of September, and the military order given by Zhao Ta is that Kedun must be taken before the end of the month, otherwise the grassland solar terms will change, and the north wind will roll up as soon as October begins, and the weather will be cold and freezing, and it will be difficult to get out of the sleeves, so it will be difficult to continue.

Li Yanxian then began to collect grass and trees, and when the grassland was drying up, there was no shortage of such things, and then he lit fires everywhere, day and night, covering the other party's vision with fireworks, and then began to dig tunnels.

The grassland soil is soft, and the tunnels are easy to dig, but in order to prevent collapse, they dug a few more, and finally there is a strong and reliable one, so they take advantage of the dark night and high wind, so they enter the city, and fight all night, and finally take Kedun.

After occupying Kedun, he first killed a number of people, especially the leaders of the Khitan tribes, all of them were left behind, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots, these leaders were called the people who were the masters of the tribe, in fact, they had already lived in the city and no longer lived a nomadic life.

After the killing, he began to pacify, after all, the soldiers did not surrender during the siege of the city, probably because there were generals on the bullet pressure, and at this moment the city has been taken, all of them are prisoners, there is no bullet pressure, and naturally there is still a willingness to surrender.

After counting the belongings and putting the troops in order, everything was in order at the beginning of October.

This time he went north not only to pull out the nail of Kedun City, but also to scrape together enough horses for the Iron Harrier, and as for the money and goods, he got countless things.

Kedun City has been operating for a long time, even earlier than the four capitals in the east of the Liao State, it is the birthplace of the Khitan, not to mention the city treasury, the leaders of the various departments have countless family collections, and it is no wonder that Yelu Dashi can stand in this westward expedition and gather enough food to set off.

Defeated Kedun Zhao Ta can be regarded as a little full, and then ordered Yang Zhi to be stationed here, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to change the guard, Yang Zhi is cautious, unlike Luda Shijin impulsively, in this mixed place of various ethnic groups is more secure than others, as for the surrendered Khitan soldiers and prisoners are all brought back to Xingzhou, left for later processing.

On the afternoon of the day he returned to Xingzhou, Zhao Ta received an urgent military report from the east that Yanjing City had been lost.

Not only Yanjing, but the other fifteen states were all captured by the Jurchens, and they were not surrendered, but all the Song soldiers who could not escape were killed, and for a while, the land of Yanyun was hell for almost adults.

Zhao Ta immediately called everyone to discuss the matter, and there were different opinions below, but half of them didn't think that the Jurchens would have the heart to go south, they only thought that they would learn from the Liao Kingdom, cut the Taihang Mountain, and stand in the eastern section of the Yellow River.

After listening to Zhao Ta for a long time, he dismissed everyone and left General Lu alone.

General Lu saw that everyone went out, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Lord Wang, the ambition of the female straight wolf son will inevitably win Longwangshu, take Yanyun, there is a covetous intention of the Central Plains, the prince still has a plan, if the court is negligent in taking precautions, causing a catastrophe, the prince must not only be prepared to save the people of the Central Plains, but also do a good job...... The plan to ascend to the great treasure! ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and said slowly: "I haven't considered what kind of treasure for the time being, but let me ask you, Weiqing, have you ever thought that you will enter the Martial Temple one day in the future?" ”

"Ah, Wu Miao?" Lu Jiang couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, he was originally a student, and his ambition since childhood was not only to glorify his ancestors and benefit the people, but also to enjoy the heart of the Confucian Temple, to become a Confucian in later generations, and to be admired by Confucian students all over the world.

But this ambition is no longer possible, it has been impossible since the time of Bing Fangla, and later he voted for Zhao Ta and turned to lead the army, so he almost couldn't afford that idea.

But even if he didn't deserve the idea of enjoying the Confucian Temple, he never thought of turning to the Martial Arts Temple, even if he made the Meridian Valley plot and went out of Liangzhou to take Xingqing Mansion directly, he had compared the famous marshals in history in his heart, and Wuhou Li Jing had commented on it, but he really didn't think about entering the martial arts temple.

From the ambition to enjoy the Temple of Literature to the Temple of Martial Arts, the contrast between this is too great.

Lu Jiang felt that he was still more modest: "Lord Wang, his subordinates are just a scholar, and he has been a thief, and he has no power to restrain the chicken......"

Zhao Ta glanced at him, and said in his heart that your ambition is written on your face, but you are still hard-mouthed, do you want this king to find a mirror for you to take a look at yourself?

"Weiqing, isn't Yasheng Zhang Zifang a literati?"

General Lu hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the ability of the sub-sage, his subordinates are beyond the reach of the dust, it is better to take a bit, and he can't catch up with the horse, how dare he compare with the literary talent and boast of being a literati?" will be born in the market, but the grass scholar does not bear the burden, it is difficult to carry the basket in his hands, there is no longitude and latitude in the chest, and there is no outstanding length, so he really dare not dare. ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "This is also, the martial arts temple is probably Du Yuankai, when it comes to martial arts, you really don't have it." ”

"That's it, it's ......" General Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that this matter can't be greedy, can't be greedy, although the prince said this, he still forgot about it.

"But ......" Zhao Ta touched his chin and looked at him: "There is a general in your name, is this not martial arts?" ”

General Lu was stunned when he heard this, the general in his name is not the meaning of a general, but the meaning of coming, otherwise what is his name called Weiqing? It's good to be called Wucheng.

"Lord Wang, this, this ......"

Zhao Ta laughed and leaned back in the chair: "I think since you have abandoned literature and martial arts, it is better to change the word martial arts." ”

"Huh?" Lu Jiang twitched his cheeks, and said sneeringly: "Lord Wang, subordinates, subordinates have not abandoned the text, subordinates don't want to change it......"

Characters and numbers can be changed, but there is no special reason, but they will never be changed easily, and it is generally used for a lifetime.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Guan Yu": Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, the word is immortal, and he is also from Xie County, Hedong.

Guan Yu changed the table words, and Yu could pass through Yu in ancient times, so Changsheng and Yun Chang are both named.

There are also Deng Ai, Fu Xie and other well-known people in later generations, who have also changed their expressions.

Zhao Ta looked at Lu Jiang and smiled silently, Lu Jiang suddenly thought that he was going to talk to Zhao Ta about Jurchen, why did he actually talk about changing the table characters? hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the female straight heart belongs to the wolf, the prince should not take it lightly, the analysis of his subordinates, nine times out of ten, it may come true." ”

"Female straight?" Zhao Ta nodded, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Since you say that the woman is straight, then the king will have a good discussion with Weiqing." ”

The two were in the hall, until the high point of the big wax in the evening, and they still did not disperse, Zhao Ta asked someone to send a snack supper, and continued to talk at night......
