Chapter 80: Wang Tai's Test
Yi Xiantian's "Du Wei Walking" token played a role, and although Wang Tai was not fake to outsiders, he had a completely different attitude towards people who were also in the military system.
Yang Ji took the token of "Du Wei Walking" from the leader of the armor soldiers, thanked him, stepped through the gate, and someone led him from behind, passing through the garden, pool, tower, and rockery, and soon arrived at the main hall in the "official post".
"Squeak!"
When the door was opened, I saw that the hall was spacious and bright, and the reddish-brown slate on the ground was polished. There are antique mahogany furniture on it, and all kinds of carvings and patterns are very detailed.
At the top of the main hall, two Taishi chairs with bent backs are placed, a hedgehog wooden table is placed in the middle, and a wall full of "Han Fu" is reflected behind, and the magnificent atmosphere is magnificent.
An old man with gray temples and a somewhat old look was sitting there drinking kung fu tea. The big red robe and gold belt look particularly majestic, spirited, and imposing on the old man.
"This person is Wang Tai?"
Yang Ji crossed the threshold, glanced at it, and a thought flashed through his mind.
This is the first time Yang Ji has met the second chief examiner in this martial arts examination. I heard Xu Ziyi say that this person was difficult to get close to, but Yang Ji didn't feel it yet.
But as soon as he stepped here, Yang Ji understood why there was such a statement.
This person has an aura in his body, he is not angry but mighty, and he doesn't even have to look at you with his eyes. Just when you see him, your heart will be worried.
This person is very discerning, and even when he drinks kung fu tea, his body is sitting upright, and only his head is turned. The movements of the hands are also a glance, giving people the feeling that they are serious about what they do.
Walking into this hall, Yang Ji had a feeling. It seems that he has not come to visit, but to be judged.
"Student Yang Ji, meet General Wang!"
Yang Ji bowed and said loudly.
The hall was quiet, and at this moment, time and space seemed to stand still. Then Yang Ji heard a powerful voice from Kong Wu.
"Oh?"
A soft sound. It was as if a lightning bolt struck the hall, and an astonishing light burst out in an instant. But it was only for a moment, and Wang Tai's eyelids closed, and he returned to normal.
"You are the governor of the imperial court, why do you call yourself a student? I don't remember when I ever accepted the Captain's students. ”
Wang Tai grabbed the top cover of celadon, squeezed the foam in the teacup, and didn't raise his head.
"The student Yang Ji was ordered by Master Yi to leave and came to visit General Wang. General Wang didn't know the students. However, the students had read General Wang's writings and called themselves students. ”
Yang Jigong said.
Yi Xiantian has a big head and an extraordinary net worth. It's not a big deal to use his identity to fake the tiger. As for reading the book...... It's really not a lie.
Yang Ji has read Wang Tai's martial arts strategy for at least half a month.
"Oh. ”
With a light sound, Wang Tai suddenly raised his head, and a pair of sharp, severe, and see-through eyes suddenly came into view, and Yang Ji's shoulders sank, and he immediately felt a strong pressure.
Those eyes seemed to have been looking deep inside him.
Yang Ji's eyes did not move. Didn't even dodge. He knew in his heart that as long as he had a little panic. The next moment he will be expelled from the hall.
I don't know how long it took, the overwhelming pressure in my feeling suddenly disappeared, and Wang Tai's gaze immediately softened a lot.
"Sit down. ”
Wang Tai pointed to the seat next to him.
"Students don't dare. ”
Yang Ji was startled, where did he dare to sit next to him.
Wang Tai didn't force it, just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, holding the celadon teacup and taking a sip gently. Then he put it back on the table at hand.
"Yi Xiantian, that kid is not bad. It's a pity that the background is not right. It ruined his talent. ”
Wang Tai said lightly:
"He came to Langya City this time to pacify the Tianyin Sect, and I supported it. Young people need to have a sharp spirit. It's a pity that the cult is powerful, so it's no wonder that he can't be blamed. ――How? Was he okay when he left?"
"It's fine. ”
Yang Ji hurriedly said. When Yi Xiantian left, he had seen it. After a rough description of the situation at that time, it was quite manageable.
Wang Tai asked a few more details about the battle of the Tianyin Sect's main altar at that time, and Yang Ji also answered them one by one. He participated in all of this in person, otherwise it would be really hard to say.
"You said you read my books, what have you read?"
Wang Tai's words turned, and suddenly turned to Yang Ji's voice. Perhaps out of appreciation for young people, Wang Tai's attitude is much better than just now.
Yang Ji's heart tightened, and he shook his spirits, knowing that the main drama was coming.
According to the information collected by Wang Xian, although Wang Tai likes to promote the juniors, it is only a talented junior. Although I met him under the pretense of Yi Xiantian's name, if I couldn't say something and get Wang Tai's approval, this trip would basically be in vain.
"The students are only a little shallow, and they have only read one copy of "Wu Luo". ”
Yang Jidao.
"Oh. ”
Hearing Yang Ji's words, Wang Tai's expression moved, and a strange light appeared in his eyes, looking at Yang Ji as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Yang Ji was slightly happy in his heart, knowing that he had finally aroused his interest. Wang Tai has published a lot of books, but the one he likes the most, and the one with the heaviest weight is this "Wu Strategy".
Wang Tai's barbaric strategy, which was not valued by the imperial court, was precisely among them.
"How much did you read the Art of War?"
Wang Tai asked.
"Rough talk. ”
Yang Ji said modestly.
"Formation?"
"Rough talk. ”
"Geotopography?"
"Rough talk. ”
......
Wang Tai asked a few questions one after another, and Yang Ji responded one by one.
"Hahaha, what a rough pass!"
Wang Tai stroked his beard, and was hooked by Yang Ji a few "rough" in succession, and laughed. Yang Ji said modestly, but he could also hear that there was a young man's confidence and pride, which was not modest at all.
Wang Tai dislikes friendship and false entertainment in his life. But it is extremely rewarding for confident and talented young people.
Yi Xiantian had a "battle of the Tianyin Sect", killed so many court elite horsemen, and finally failed miserably. But Wang Tai didn't mean to blame at all, but felt that he was enterprising and courageous. That's enough to see that.
Wang Tai has even appreciated talented young people to the point where he can tolerate his flaws.
"Good!"
With the word "good", Wang Tai's laughter ended, and his expression became stern again.
"Let me ask you, how did the fish scale array break?"
"Break it with a word of arrows, and break it with a point. ”
"How to break the Yandang Array?"
"Break it with the glaive array. ”
"How are the soldiers and horses arranged?"
"Act with the Commanding Flag. The general has a herald. From the general to the captain, the captain to the captain, the captain to the chief, the captain to the chief, the captain to the captain, the captain to the sergeant!"
"How to camp in the mountains?"
"Set up according to the mountain, set up a military camp, set up a horse rejection camp under the mountain, and set up a patrol camp. Set up an arrow tower, set up a soldier, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry. ”
"What is the terrain of Northern Taihezhou?"
"Mountains and mountains, mountains and forests, many spirits, many beasts, many monsters. Fewer lakes and more mountains. The continent is bounded by Mount Taiwu. It is divided into Shannan and Shanbei, and the climate is different. ”
"A thousand-mile march. How to deal with the soldiers and horses, and how to command a thousand troops to win?"
"Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, the baggage, grain and grass, the enemy situation, training, and terrain ...... Indispensable. ”
......
Wang Tai asked quickly, and Yang Ji answered quickly. He had already read the "Martial Classics", and carefully read Wang Tai's "Martial Strategy". All kinds of things are familiar by heart, and the answer is almost without thinking.
"Not bad. A little ability, all kinds of things are familiar to the heart. It can be seen that it is a credit. ”
Wang Tai stroked his beard. He nodded with a slight satisfaction. When it comes to the real art of war, Wang Tai has always been very serious and strict.
However, it was just a nod, but it was already a great affirmation of Yang Ji.
"Do you know how to play chess?"
Wang Taidao.
"What chess?"
Yang Ji asked.
"Black and white, of course. ”
Wang Tai said lightly.
Yang Ji frowned in his heart. Wang Tai clearly wanted to test him for "actual combat". These questions and answers are all on paper. Specifically, it has to be handed down.
Wang Tai wants to play Go with him to see if he is true to apply what he has learned.
But the problem is that Yang Ji has always been busy reading and practicing. Where did he have the leisure to learn to play chess. What's more, playing chess is a game of two people.
Yang Jing suffered a lot of white eyes in the clan, where to find someone to play chess with him.
Even if you go down again, it is impossible to get down to Wang Tai.
"This ...... How do you play Go?"
Yang Ji hesitated. The things I prepared in my heart were actually useless.
"Oh, you don't know how to play Go?"
Wang Tai was a little surprised. In the capital and Zhoufu, Go is very popular. The prince's disciples and the Jiangmen family are all popular among the young noble disciples.
However, in the eastern frontier, it is clear that this kind of game has not yet become popular.
Wang Tai originally thought that Yang Ji's bearing was extraordinary, and he was given the Yi family's "Duwei Walking" token by Yi Xianxing. This kind of thing that prevails among the princes and disciples will inevitably be the same.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ji didn't know it at all.
"No, it won't. ”
Yang Ji shook his head.
Wang Tai's brows moved, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't mean to cancel it at all.
"No, it's fine. This kind of thing has simple rules, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it. Come, I'll teach you. ”
Wang Tai said lightly, there was no room for Yang Ji to refuse.
After a while, someone brought up a chessboard and two boxes of black and white chess pieces.
Yang Ji hesitated and finally sat down beside Wang Tai.
"A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake", Yang Ji didn't expect that when he came to visit Wang Tai, he actually became playing Go with him. It was a little different from what he had expected.
"Sure enough, there was something I didn't think about. However, it doesn't seem that it is difficult to listen to the rules, and you should be able to learn them. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart. The way things turned out was a bit more than he expected. However, Yang Ji still has a lot of confidence in his ability.
No matter how difficult Go is, it will never be more difficult than mastering a new technique.
With the chessboard laid out and black and white in his hand, Yang Ji began this "test of the art of war" with Go as the battlefield. (To be continued......)
PS: At the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass.
