The festival was held at Luhu Lake in the imperial city, and a pergola was erected on the lakeside, creating an area large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

The late summer sun is still scorching, but the lakeside is breezy and breezy.

Originally, the literary meeting was held by Guozijian, and most of the participants were students of Guozijian.

But Pei Man's West Building stirred up the peace, making such a big noise, the characters attending the Wenhui were immediately different, and the students of Guozijian could still participate, but they were on the periphery and couldn't enter the pergola.

The meeting was held at noon, because in this way, the princes of the court could take advantage of an hour's rest time to participate in the ceremony.

As noon approached, the students of the Guozijian wore Confucian shirts and crowns, and were stopped by the stubborn forbidden army on the periphery.

"This is a cultural meeting organized by our Guozi Supervisor, why don't we be allowed to enter?"

"How can the relationship between subject and object be reversed?"

"Not only is there a forbidden army controlling the field, but even the warlocks of Si Tianjian have also come, in case someone with malicious intentions infiltrates the cultural meeting, could it be that His Majesty wants to participate in the cultural meeting?"

As he was talking, horse-drawn carriages came and stopped in the square outside Luhu, and the cars were filled with nobles and generals.

They should have nothing to do with the Wenhui, and they all came for the words "asking for the art of war".

Not only did they come, but they also brought their daughters and heirs.

"Look, the princes are here, the six scholars, the squire, and the scholars of the palace ........."

"I guessed that there would be big people coming, but I didn't expect to come so much? ”

"Brother Tai, you don't understand this, a cultural meeting is naturally impossible, but behind this cultural meeting, in the final analysis, it is a matter of negotiation. There are no trivial matters between the two countries. The princes are here to build momentum and exert pressure. ”

"A barbarian, dare to come to the capital to talk about the Tao, I don't know how thick the sky is. We'll see how Zhang Shen teaches him later. ”

After the military generals, there are the court princes above the third grade, such as the criminal department secretary, the military department secretary, and the palace scholars.

Some of the court bigwigs also brought their daughters, such as Wang Simu, who is quite famous, she wears a light pink lady's dress, exquisite makeup, dignified and beautiful.

"The Qinggui of the Hanlin Academy is also here, interesting, this group of scholars boasts of unparalleled learning, and they will definitely attack the Pei Man West Building group later........ "The eyes of the students of Guozijian lit up.

A group of young officials in green robes entered the venue with their toes held high.

Hanlin Academy is a place where scholars gather, although this group of nobles has no power in their hands and is young, they are definitely one of the most learned groups in Dafeng.

They are in their prime, and their memory, understanding, and thinking acuity are all at the peak of their lives.

With their admission, the confidence of the students of Guozijian has doubled.

After the nobles of the Hanlin Academy took their seats, they talked in a low voice:

"I read the Hokusai Ceremony, and the level is there, but it is miscellaneous but not refined. ”

"For us, it's really not fine, but for students all over the world, it's very profound. ”

"This person is really powerful, in a single field, we can beat him, in terms of the breadth of what we have learned, we are ashamed of ourselves. ”

"By the way, if you talk about the art of war, no one in our Hanlin Academy can surpass the old one. ”

In an instant, one after another eyes looked at the handsome and picturesque young man.

Xu Xinnian sat behind the case, and clearly noticed that not only his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, but also the nobles and princes not far away also heard of the prestige.

That's natural, and I'm majoring in the art of war......... As soon as he wanted to bow his head, he heard a sneer in Xun Guizhong: "Pei Manxi Lou is asking for advice from Zhang Shen Daru, and the teacher is not worse than the student." ”

Xu Xinnian was a little annoyed, and said loudly: "The sage said, those who have no elders and young are the first, who said that students must be inferior to teachers?"

The nobles and generals laughed, knowing that he was Xu Qi'an's cousin, a few of them laughed particularly arbitrarily, and wrote ridicule on their faces.

This Xu New Year's knowledge is there, but except for a mouth that can scold flowers, other fields are not very brilliant in the Hanlin Academy.

He actually said that students can beat teachers, which is ridiculous.

Huh?

The honorable generals reacted, and their laughter froze.

Xu Xinnian took a sip of tea and got up reservedly.

...........

Xu Qi'an wore light armor and a standard saber at the waist and hips, and followed Huaiqing and Lin'an's carriage to the venue, the luxury carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Huaiqing, who was wearing a plain palace dress and a fiery red dress, got off at the same time.

Then, in unison, they raised their hands to block out the fierce sunlight.

The princess is afraid of the sun and hands to shade........ A certain guard jumped into his mind with this sentence, and then he saw the eunuch holding a canopy to shield the two princesses from the sun.

Framed turned around and searched through the crowd, her watery peach blossom eyes were confused, and she didn't know whose appearance the dog slave had become.

It's pretty well disguised, isn't it........ Framing was a little disappointed, because she often saw descriptions in her scripts that "people who like each other will have a heart".

As soon as the two princesses entered, they saw Xu Xinnian standing beside the case, making a statement with emotion, spitting fragrant mouths, pointing at a handful of nobles and scolding angrily.

The noble generals were furious, you and I besieged Xu Xinnian one by one, and the latter was not afraid, quoting classic sentences, and his words were sharp.

Many generals have begun to roll up their sleeves.

The princes drank tea and watched the play in a leisurely manner.

Huaiqing frowned and reprimanded, "Presumptuous!"

Her appearance when she was angry was full of majesty, and it was extremely intimidating, not only did Xu New Year stop the abuse, but even the angry and screaming generals also died down.

The princes and nobles got up one after another, bowed and saluted: "I have seen two princesses." ”

Huaiqing snorted coldly, and took the frame and two guards into the seat.

Xu Xinnian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then looked at Wang Simu in the upper left seat, and it happened that the other party also looked over.

Yesterday, Wang Simu specially looked for him, hoping that he could show his talent and learn at the literary meeting, gain a good reputation, and increase his prestige.

Miss Wang didn't expect Xu Erlang to kill the Quartet at the literary meeting and shock the four.

Because of Zhang Shen's appearance, Mr. Zhang is Xu Erlang's teacher, and it is enough to have him appear.

Xu Erlang smiled at her, just like after listening to it yesterday, Yun smiled lightly.

At this time, the respectful shouts of the students and guards came from the periphery: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I have seen the third prince and the fourth prince..........

Everyone in the pergola looked sideways, and saw the prince supporting an old man with gray hair and crutches, along the passage surrounded by the forbidden army, and walked to the pergola.

"Taifu?"

Huaiqing blurted out in surprise.

And framed subconsciously shrank her head, she was slapped in the palm of her hand by this stinky old man since she was a child, and she was beaten for many years.

Taifu is not aimed at Lin'an, Taifu is aimed at scumbags.

The prince helped the prince into the pergola.

The princes stood up one after another and saluted respectfully.

In terms of seniority, everyone here is the younger generation of Taifu.

Xu Xinnian saluted in unison with his colleagues, looking at the old man who was supported by the prince, although his hair was white, it was still thick, which was really enviable.

The face is furrowed, the skin is saggy, and the eyes are slightly cloudy, but this old man's temperament is very unique.

He remembered that Dean Zhao Shou said that Taifu was the only contemporary scholar who cultivated Haoran righteousness.

The three princes of this dynasty are all one product, but they have no real power. Taifu was originally expected to be in charge of the cabinet, but when his father cultivated the Tao and ignored the government, Taifu wanted to beat his father with a bamboo stick and was stopped. After that, he had no chance, so he concentrated on his studies in the palace.

I didn't expect even Taifu to come......... Xu Xinnian said in his heart.

Taifu snorted coldly, looked at the great sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, and said lightly: "The old man has lived in seclusion for many years, only to find that the Guozijian is not as good as the generation. ”

The big sacrificial wine has red ears and red ears.

The princes, who were also born in the country, were also a little embarrassed.

The face of the court is their face.

A barbarian young man shines in the capital, if it is martial arts, it is just that, the barbarian is a vulgar martial artist. It's just that he is famous for his learning.

You must know that the greatest pride of the human race is culture, everything is inferior, only reading is high.

Confucianism is the system of the Central Plains people, a unique cultural treasure, and a place of pride for countless people.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Huaiqing got up, squeezed the prince away from the prince, and took him into his seat, with a cold voice:

"Taifu, Pei Man Xilou is amazing, only talking about the four books and five classics, and the big sacrificial wine is not weak to him. People who have learned a wide range of skills and can be profound are too rare. But don't worry, with Zhang Shen coming forward, everything is safe. ”

Taifu patted the back of Huaiqing's hand and smiled a little:

"If Your Highness is a man, how can that barbarian have the opportunity to show off his might in the capital? The old man came to join in this excitement this time, but he doesn't believe in evil, I am a great scholar and a forest man, and there are countless rising stars, no one can suppress him as a barbarian who has learned some saints' fur?"

Here it was, a chuckle came from outside the pergola, with a bit of leisure, and retorted:

"The sage said, there is no class in teaching. Taifu is a barbarian on the left and a barbarian on the right, but has he kept the teachings of the saint in mind?"

Outside the pergola, the white-haired Pei Manxi Lou, with the charming and colorful Huang Xian'er, and the young man with vertical pupils with a cold temperament, entered the pergola generously.

They are obviously foreigners and guests, but they put on a relaxed posture of leisurely strolling, as if they are the masters of the Wenhui.

For the town of the princes and noble generals, he didn't care about it, and he didn't show any timidity.

Guozijian students, Qinggui of the Hanlin Academy, the princes present, and the noble generals.......... Silently staring at Pei Man Xilou, this talented and knowledgeable barbarian.

No one responded, but quietly straightened his back and calmed his emotions, as if facing a great enemy.

"In the first part of Xiabai, the eldest son of Pei Man's family, Pei Man Xilou, I have seen you!"

Pei Man Xilou used his knowledge to create an amazing image of a brilliant reader, and his goal has been achieved.

At this meeting, he intends to push his reputation to the peak again and pave the way for subsequent negotiations.

...........

Hsu Mansion.

Chu Yuanzhen sat in the courtyard, at the stone table, holding a wine glass in his hand, and next to him sat Lina, Li Miaozhen, and Xu Lingyin.

"Why can he enter the imperial city? What is he going to do? Aren't you afraid that Emperor Yuan Jing will cut off his dog's head? Chu Yuan said sourly.

He is very covetous of the Wenhui, as a swordsman born as a scholar, he is still the former champion, this kind of peak duel Wenhui has a fatal temptation for Chu Yuanzhen.

But he couldn't enter the imperial city, let alone participate in the cultural meeting in front of everyone, all because of Xu Qi'an. If it wasn't for helping him, it would have been so miserable.

So I came to him for a drink and complained.

Unexpectedly, the initiator himself went in.

Chu Yuanzhen's heart was as sour as a lemon.

"I want to go too. ”

Xu Lingyin said crisply.

"The Wenhui is just a group of people who read books and discuss boring things, and you don't want to go. This kind of place has nothing to do with our master and apprentice, it is better to eat pastries at home and drink sweet wine. ”

Lina took the opportunity to educate the apprentices, she was still very forced, and hoped that the apprentices could gradually force the numbers.

"Master, there are a lot of delicious things in the Wenhui, the last time I had a fight with a monk in the cauldron, I followed an uncle and ate a lot of delicious food. ”

Xu Lingyin gave a fatal blow.

"Yes, why didn't I think that there would be good food and wine. Lina's eyes lit up.

The angle is tricky......... Chu Yuanzhen touched Xu Lingyin's head, thinking that this girl was quite cute, and then remembered the nightmare tutorial in Yunlu Academy that day.

He silently withdrew his hand.

Li Miaozhen said: "That barbarian has been very arrogant recently, I don't look comfortable, and I can't help but want to stab him with a sword." ”

If you see who is unhappy, stab anyone, are you really the holy daughter of Tianzong......... Chu Yuanzhen felt that the one with the most slots in the Heaven and Earth Society was Li Miaozhen.

No. 1 is unknown, No. 3 is a righteous gentleman, No. 6 Hengyuan is compassionate, and No. 5 Lina is not smart and loves to eat, but she has no defects that make people want to "vomit quickly".

No. 7 and No. 8 "disappeared" for many years.

The No. 9 Golden Lotus Dao Leader has a gentle temperament, is a respectable elder, cultivates merits, and his character is worthy of recognition, and he has no bad habits.

Only Li Miaozhen is the most helpless, she is the holy daughter of Tianzong, she should have a weak temperament and be cold, but she went down the mountain for two years, and she trained herself to become a Feiyan woman who is eager for justice and righteousness, and eradicates rape and evil.

"The scholars of Guozi Jian are so unbearable, and they have to rely on the scholars of Yunlu Academy to settle him. Li Miaozhen said.

Chu Yuanzhen smiled and nodded: "Zhang Shen's "Six Sparse Art of War" is exquisite, and with him coming forward, it won't be long for that barbarian to be arrogant." However, this person was able to write the "Hokusai Grand Canon", which was enough to start a sect and become a generation of famous Confucians. ”

Li Miaozhen frowned, she heard that Chu Yuanzhen was not optimistic about Zhang Shen, and said, "This barbarian is so powerful?"

Chu Yuanzhen nodded.

"If it's more powerful than poetry, it should be Xu Ningyan. Li Miaozhen asked cautiously.

Chu Yuanzhen sneered.

Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "Also hanging?"

Chu Yuanzhen shook his head and smiled: "No, Xu Ningyan's poetry is ancient and modern, but the Wenhui is not a poetry club." Besides, Xu Ningyan couldn't come out. ”

.........

In the market.

Although the ordinary people could not enter the imperial city, they had a very high degree of discussion about the Wenhui and looked forward to the results.

Even the hard-working peddlers and pawns, when they sit by the stall and eat a bowl of noodles, can hear the next table always discussing the literary meeting, pointing out the country, and impassioning words.

"It reminds me of last year's fight, what a sensation it was. In the end, Xu Yingong stepped forward and turned the tide. A merchant in a blue coat took a bite of pasta and said loudly.

"Wenhui is not a fighting method, but unfortunately Xu Yinluo is not a scholar and can't help. The companion responded with pity.

The owner of the noodle stall uncovered the hot pot, put down the noodles while taking the stubble, and said indignantly: "The Guozi supervisor is really a waste, he lost to a barbarian, and I blushed for them." ”

The diners at the other tables couldn't help but say, "It would be nice if Xu Yingong was a scholar." ”

In the eyes of the people, Xu Yinluo is an all-powerful hero, a legendary figure of Dafeng, and a real man with a conscience.

So he has a blind worship of him, thinking that Xu Yingong is omnipotent. But reason told them that Xu Yinluo was not a scholar, and his knowledge was definitely not as good as that barbarian.

Therefore, I can only sigh with emotion: It would be nice if Xu Yingong was a scholar.

The noodle stall owner held the noodles and handed them to the guests, and said with a smile: "But this barbarian dares to challenge the great Confucianism of Yunlu Academy, it is simply unbelievable. ”

The diners laughed.

............

Imperial Palace, inside the dormitory.

Emperor Yuanjing sat lazily on the collapse, flipped through the Taoist scriptures, the sound of footsteps came, and the old eunuch returned in small steps, and said in a low voice:

"There was news from the Wenhui that Pei Manxilou and the adults of the Hanlin Academy discussed the scriptures, policies, people's livelihood, farming, and history.......... Do not fall behind. ”

"If you don't fall into the wind, it's already my shame. Emperor Yuan Jing said expressionlessly.

When the old eunuch saw the emperor show this expression, he knew that he was displeased.

In the final analysis, Pei Man Xilou is so majestic, and the biggest shame is the king of a country.

"Can you talk about poetry?" said Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly.

The old eunuch shook his head.

"He's self-aware. Emperor Yuan Jing sneered, and as soon as he laughed, he suddenly put on a straight face and snorted coldly.

After a pause, Emperor Yuan Jing said, "Zhang Shen hasn't come yet?"

The old eunuch bowed his head: "Mr. Zhang's future." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slowly: "Don't worry, the Wenhui hasn't gotten to the point yet." Although the scholars of Yunlu Academy hate it, they have never disappointed in their studies. ”

He looked relaxed.

...........

What is the main topic of the meeting?

It's a war, it's a war that takes place in the North.

Among the representatives of Guozijian, a student stood up and made an indignant statement:

"The barbarians have been harassing the border all year round and killing my people, which is a far-reaching disaster. Now that he has been crushed by the iron hooves of Yasukuni in Northeast China, he has shamelessly come to me to ask for help.

"A barbarian is a barbarian, brazen. ”

The students on the periphery responded one after another, angrily scolding the barbarians for being "shameless".

Huang Xian'er smiled and smiled, and her fingers twisted her sideburns.

The young man with vertical pupils was full of anger, trying his best to suppress the cruel and bloodthirsty nature of snakes, and the vertical pupils glanced at the student coldly.

Pei Manxi's floor did not change, and even laughed, and said:

"The Witch God Cult dominates the northeast of Kyushu, and there are only three states in close proximity to Dafeng. With Dafeng's population and troops, at a certain cost, they can be blocked out of the three states. ”

He paused, and when he saw the expressions of approval from the princes and generals, he continued:

"But if the territory in the north is also occupied by the Wushen Cult, the Yasukuni cavalry can go south and go straight to the capital. Kang Guo and Yan Guo attacked from the east again, echoing each other from afar. Isn't it dangerous to be bong?

As everyone knows, there are endless grasslands in the north, and if Yasukuni gains the northern territory, it will be able to raise more cavalry, and at that time, even if Dabong has artillery and crossbows, it will not be able to stop this group of "invincible people" on land.

"Therefore, Da Feng sent troops, not to help my gods, but to help himself. Our Protoss has a difficult reproduction and a low population, and even though it sometimes disturbs the border passes, it does not have the strength to go south, and the threat to Dafeng is limited. But the Witch God Cult is different. ”

No one argued.

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy, the students of the Guozijian, and even the princes of the court actually recognized his words.

The northeast controlled by the Wushen Sect is rich in products, and it can both hunt and farm, and the agricultural civilization has the most prosperous population.

The population of the Wushen Cult is too far behind that of Dafeng, and that is because of the limited territory.

If the northern territory falls into the hands of the Witch God Cult and a part of the population is moved to the north, the population of the Witch God Sect will double or at least double in a maximum of twenty years.

Pei Man Xilou said in a deep voice: "At that time, the present day of my god clan will be the coming day of Dafeng. ”

Xu Xinnian watched silently.

This group of fools was unconsciously controlled by the other party to take the initiative, shouldn't what you want to discuss should be asking for bargaining chips, how to discuss the necessity of sending troops, there is no doubt that you must send troops........... Well, discussing chips seems to be something to be done at the negotiating table, and it is a matter for the public, so it is indeed not appropriate to talk about it at this time.

The core of this literary meeting is actually that Dafeng wants to defeat Pei Manxilou's image and defeat his compulsion.

But the form is not very optimistic, this guy himself can be eloquent, eloquent, and occupy the "righteousness" that must be dispatched.

Xu Xinnian turned his eyes and found that many generals were eager to try, as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they frowned and fell silent.

Even if they have rich experience in leading troops, they can't say that Pei Man Xilou, bah, a vulgar martial artist.........

"Isn't it sharp and sharp in the court when Zhu is fair, and when the Taifu hits the palm of the palace's hand, isn't he able to speak well, and he doesn't speak. Framed anxiously.

"How can Taifu get off the field, he is a respected senior, there is too much difference in seniority, even if he wins, it will be disgraceful, people will only say that I am a big bully. The same is true for the princes, and if the princes are killed, I dare to guarantee that Pei Man Xilou will take the initiative to compete with them for knowledge........."

Huaiqing rarely said a lot of words, explaining to his stupid sister:

"The learning of the princes, except for a few scholars, has been abandoned. ”

Framed opened his eyes wide and muttered, "What should I do then? ”

The faces of the students of Guozijian were heavy, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy were also like great enemies, and their faces were not good-looking.

Wang Shoufu sighed: "Pei Manxilou's talent is amazing, it's really amazing. ”

The young officials of the Hanlin Academy were full of confidence when they entered, and there was a clear gap between them and the silent and serious posture now.

Wang Simu frequently looked at Xu Erlang, expecting him to stand up and perform.

Wang Shoufu noticed his daughter's eyes and said, "Why is Erlang so silent today?"

Wang Simu frowned.

Just when everyone was speechless and thinking hard about countermeasures, the sky above Luhu Lake flashed, and Zhang Shen, who was wearing a Confucian robe and a Confucian crown, appeared out of thin air.

Then, he fell towards the lake.

Qingguang flashed again, and Zhang Shen appeared in the pergola, with a little fear in his expression.

The cowhide he bragged about must be: The place where I am is is not Yunlu Academy, but in Luhu. So I almost fell into the lake......... Xu Qi'an complained wildly in his heart.

"Zhang Daru is here. ”

"When Mr. Zhang finally arrived, I knew that Mr. Zhang would not be absent. ”

The students on the periphery cheered and were relieved.

The princes laughed, and the people who had a relationship with Zhang Shen spoke one after another: "Brother Jinyan, you are here." ”

Zhang Shen bowed his head coldly, and immediately saw the Taifu, and hurriedly said: "Student Zhang Shen, I have seen the Taifu." ”

Taifu said "um", his face was always straight, and he finally had a smile: "Zhang Jinyan, this young man from the White Head Department wants to ask you for a lesson in the art of war, and you can give him some advice." ”

Inside the pergola, the atmosphere suddenly soared.

Zhang Shen looked around, looked at Pei Man West Building, whose hair was like snow, and said, "You are the Pei Man West Building who wrote the "Hokusai Grand Canon"?"

Pei Manxi Lou got up for the first time and said, "The student has seen Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Shen waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite, you want to fight with me in the art of war?"

The shed was quiet, and everyone was looking forward to it.

Huang Xian'er sat up slightly straight, squinting, and staring at the scholars of Yunlu Academy.

The young man with vertical pupils restrained his arrogance, this four-grade master of the Confucian system is the "enemy" of Brother Pei Man's literary meeting, although he looks down on readers, but the readers of Yunlu Academy are not in the range of contempt.

Even though the Confucian system has been in decline for many years, Jiwei is still there.

"The student is only a shallow learner, and I want to ask Mr. for advice. Pei Man Xilou smiled gently, and he was full of bamboo.

Zhang Shen rolled his eyes:

"Aren't you playing hooligan, the old man hasn't led the army for more than 20 years, and he almost forgets the taste of sleeping on his pillow. I'm still talking about the same thing as it has been for more than 20 years, and what kind of art of war are you talking to me?

"Why don't you talk to Wei Yuan about the art of war, this old boy sits in the court, and the shadows are all over the world, and he has been strategizing for twenty years without stopping, just waiting for one day to accumulate a lot. ”

Pei Man Xilou said with a smile: "Sir, isn't this also a hooligan?"

The young man with vertical pupils couldn't help but interject, and snorted coldly: "Why don't you let Brother Pei Man and the prison fight the law." ”

This time, Pei Man Xilou did not reprimand the young man, and asked with a smile:

In fact, the students have admired Mr. War's book for a long time, and I heard that Mr. is proficient in the art of war, and his book "Six Sparse Arts of War" is widely circulated and praised by everyone.

After learning nothing, he also wrote a book of war, which took several years, not only into the Central Plains art of war, but also the art of war of the barbarian cavalry. Please also ask the gentleman for advice. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the young man with vertical eyes beside him.

Xuanyin opened the small wooden box at his feet and took out a thick book: "Hokusai Soldier Scroll"

On Dafeng's side, everyone looked at each other, but they really didn't expect that this person was not only proficient in the art of war, but also wrote a military book?

Scholars pay attention to writing books and passing them on, and even those who are highly educated are very cautious about writing books. It takes many years for a book to be revised and revised before it is published to the world and widely publicized.

As for some essays and notes, at this time, they can't actually be called "books".

For example, Xu Qi'an read the book "Da Zhou Picking Up Doubts" in Yunlu Academy, which is a notebook, and it cannot be called a book.

Therefore, everyone was skeptical of Pei Manxilou's words.

Taifu's face sank obviously.

Wang Shoufu and other old people in the officialdom also had solemn faces and had a bad premonition.

Out of respect for the book, Zhang Shen took it with extremely serious hands, the lake breeze blew, the pages rattled, and he quickly flipped through it.

Zhang Shen's face changed, and he was seen by everyone in the audience, first stunned, then admired, and finally excited.

Pei Man Xilou asked, "Sir, what do you think of this book?"

Zhang Shen didn't answer immediately, he groaned for a while, and sighed: "Wonderful." ”

The book is divided into three volumes, the first volume of the military road, which discusses what is the art of war and what is war.

"The second volume of the argument, the impermanence of soldiers, the impermanence of water, is too well described. Twelve strategies for attacking, which makes people scream.

"What's even more rare is the third volume, which carefully studies the arrangement of troops, and provides many kinds of formations for the coordination of warriors and ordinary soldiers, which greatly exerts the usefulness of ordinary soldiers. ”

Pei Man Xilou is indeed an amazing and brilliant scholar, the way of the art of war, he Zhang Shen lost, Confucianism pays attention to the understanding of ideas, and he can't do this kind of thing with a dead duck's mouth.

Besides, if he loses the Wenhui, the biggest loss of face is Emperor Yuan Jing and the imperial court, Yunlu Academy has long been expelled from the court, and there is no need for him to go against his heart for the sake of the face of the group of wine bags and rice bags of Guozijian.

Zhang Shen sighed: "The old man's "Six Sparse Art of War" is really not as good as your "Hokusai Art of War", and he is willing to bow down." ”

"It is said that the scholars of Yunlu Academy have a noble character and live up to their reputation. ”

Pei Man Xilou smiled, laughing heartily.

There are three reasons why he chose Zhang Shen as a stepping stone? There are three reasons: Zhang Shen is famous enough; Zhang Shen has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years; and Zhang Shen is a scholar at Yunlu Academy, who is straightforward and has a guaranteed moral character. As long as his military book can convince the other party, he will not suppress it with his conscience.

A gentleman can be deceived in a way that is the truth.

There was silence in the pergola, and everyone lost their expressions.

Xuanyin, a young man with vertical pupils, hissed and laughed: "It is said that Dafeng Wendao is prosperous, and it is full of reading seeds. It seems that they are not as good as my brother Pei Man. Big brother, when you return to the north, you will be the Xu Yingong of our Protoss. ”

He was referring to being as loved as Xu Qi'an.

Hearing this, the students of Guozijian outside the pergola were ashamed and angry, and wanted to refute the angry scolding, but they felt ashamed to speak, and the abuse would only be more embarrassing, and they gritted their teeth in grievance.

The top students of the Hanlin Academy looked embarrassed.

In other fields of academics, they can still have discussions and debates, and when it comes to fighting, the top students have never even been to the battlefield, and they have no right to speak, and talking on paper will only make people laugh.

Huang Xian'er laughed coquettishly, not knowing whether she was happy or laughing.

"This article will not be interesting at all, I would not have come if I had known. A woman complained.

They came with anticipation and enthusiasm, and what they wanted to see was the barbarian eating deflated, not Yang Wu and Yang Wei, and frustrating the Dafeng scholars.

Huaiqing sighed, she is a daughter, this kind of occasion is not good, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of a scholar, and in the way of the art of war, she has only read some military books.

That Pei Man Xilou is the young master of the Bai Shou Department, who has been in war for a long time and has rich experience, and his level is definitely much higher than her.

"Help me back!"

Tai Fu held the cane, paused three times, and said in a low voice.

The old man's face was full of disappointment.

...........

In the dormitory.

The old eunuch ran in quickly, his face worried.

The curtains hung low, and on the couch, Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at him and did not speak.

The old eunuch said in a low voice: "Zhang Shen, ........ defeated"

"Smack!"

Emperor Yuan Jing threw the book on the old eunuch's face.

.........

On the shore of Luhu Lake, in a pergola.

Pei Man Xilou waved in all directions, with a gentle smile, and a posture of not being arrogant or discouraged: "Thank you for your advice, Dafeng is worthy of being a prosperous place of literature and Taoism, which makes people yearn for it." ”

It was like a mockery to the ears of the people, and no, it was a mockery.

Taifu's face sank like water, and he quickened his pace.

The princes got up one after another, and left the desk in silence, intending to leave.

"Tuk!"

The sound of the wine glass on the table was a little heavy, attracting the sideways glances of the people around him.

Xu Erlang got up suddenly and said loudly: "My eldest brother has a poem: endure watching the child become an upstart, and then go to the ring angrily and then shoot." ”

The voice spread.

Taifu stopped and looked back.

The princes and the noble generals looked over.

The students of Guozijian looked at it.

Pei Man Xilou looked at this young official of the Hanlin Academy who made a provocative speech.

Xu Xinnian looked at the white-haired barbarian and said lightly: "This official will discuss the art of war with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

"Say goodbye!"

The colleagues of the Hanlin Academy signaled with their eyes one after another, telling him not to be impulsive.

Xu Cijiu has a good reputation in officialdom, and it was all accumulated in the Chuzhou Massacre case, when he blocked the noon gate and scolded King Huai angrily.

This reputation is not easy to come by, and it would be a pity if it was ruined by indignation and impulsiveness.

"Mr. Zhang is his teacher, even he lost, Xu Ci thought he could win?"

"Why bother to embarrass people again, Pei Manxilou's military book, even Zhang Daru is ashamed of himself and praises it. ”

"We are also indignant, but, it's just that this excuse is too reckless. ”

The students of Guozijian talked about it.

Pei Man Xilou suspected that he had misheard, stared at Xu Xinnian for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was Zhang Shen's disciple.

It's just that........ The teachers have lost, and the students still want to turn the situation around?

Xuan Yin, the young man with vertical pupils, sneered, while Huang Xian'er was bored and played with the wine glass, and said lightly: "It's boring." ”

Wang Simu's eyes widened in astonishment, she didn't expect Xu Xinnian to hold back for a long time, but it was for this moment?

Wang Shoufu was furious in his heart.

"Lord Xu, have you ever trained as a soldier?" Pei Man Xilou asked with a smile.

Xu Xinnian shook his head.

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?" asked Pei Man Xilou again.

Xu Xinnian still shook his head.

The scholar, who was born in a barbarian, shook his head slightly, "Although you major in the art of war, you are talking about war on paper, how can you discuss the art of war with me." ”

Xuanyin, a young man with vertical pupils, sneered: "Didn't you also write a military book, and you want to take it out to compete with my eldest brother?"

Seeing Xu New Year being ridiculed by the barbarians, everyone also felt ashamed.

Zhang Shen looked at his proud disciple in surprise, and said in his heart, this kid is confused, he is ashamed of himself, what did he do when he jumped out, and avenge me.

However, it is good for him to suffer a setback, Xu is too smooth, whether it is his family background, study, or officialdom, he has not suffered too many setbacks.

Xu Xinnian raised his chin and said proudly: "That's right, I do have a military book here, please ask Brother Pei Man for some advice." ”

“！！！”

Including Zhang Shen, everyone looked at Xu Xinnian in a daze, their eyes were extremely dazed, and like Pei Man Xilou, they suspected that something was wrong with their ears.

Xu Xinnian ignored everyone and took out a thread-bound book with a light brown book cover from his arms.

Pei Manxilou saw four words written on the cover: Sun Tzu's Art of War.

He was full of poetry and books, and he had no impression of this name, it was not a military book that was circulated in the world, nor was it a military book that had just been repaired by the imperial court and given to him with the same old tune.

But he is a book lover, and he will not despise any book because of the title, raise his hand to take it, and read it with a smile.

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored and ........."

The beginning is not bad, a simple statement of the importance of war, quite to the point.

Read on:

Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is calculated, and the situation is asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”

Pei Man Xilou bowed slightly, put away some of the contempt and scrutiny in his heart, can write this sentence, the person who wrote the book does have some real skills.

When he saw the "treacherous way of the soldier", he was finally moved, and his pupils contracted slightly: "Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Pei Man Xilou looked at it hungrily, gradually immersed in the ocean of knowledge, lingering, and ignoring everything around him.

The book consists of 12 articles, which are extensive and profound, and not only describe the theory and experience of war, but also sum up the laws of war.

This book has gone beyond the scope of strategy, and what is expounded in the book is not limited to a simple art of strategy and war, but a more macroscopic and higher-level thing.

For example, the book says that politics is an important factor in determining the victory or defeat of a war. The level was raised all of a sudden, and Pei Manxi Building had a feeling of empowerment.

The barbarians fought just to plunder, Pei Man Xilou also believed that fighting a war is a war, and the factors outside the battlefield are important, but the victory or defeat of the war is the gap in the combat power of the two sides after all.

The number of words in the book of war is not much, and compared to his thick book, it seems extremely simple. But every word of it is worth thinking about for a long time.

On the other hand, he copied various battles and tried to analyze the details with words. Summarize the various camps and emphasize the importance of soldiers......... Smile generously.

Of course, the book also has flaws, such as the fact that it does not mention the role of the martial arts throughout and how to use them.

After a long time, Pei Man Xilou finally broke free from the immersive reading and sighed with satisfaction: "I have benefited a lot, I have benefited a lot........"

Then, he noticed that the people around him were looking at him directly.

Everyone was stupid.

A series of changes in Pei Man's expression in the West Building just now fully showed them words such as "ecstatic", "breathtaking", and "hungry and thirsty".

It's incredibly curious what is written in the book that makes a person with amazing talent react like this.

Pei Man Xilou glanced at Xu Xinnian, and then at Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, hesitated, struggled, and finally sighed deeply:

"Lord Xu, you are losing.

"I don't want anything else in Xia, I just want to beg Lord Xu to let me copy this book, and I will do the gift of a disciple in Xiaxia, and call you sir. ”

This book is indeed far superior to the "Art of War" written by him, and it is meaningless to be stubborn.

Xuanyin, a young man with vertical pupils, his eyes were round: "Big brother, you, you .........."

The charming and enchanting Huang Xian'er, at this moment, her delicate face finally lost her lazy and casual confidence, and her appearance changed slightly.

There was an uproar, and the fryer was in general.

Pei Man Xilou admitted defeat and was ashamed.

Moreover, in order to be able to transcribe the military book written by Xu Ci, he did not hesitate to consider himself a student.

The nobles and generals stared directly at the military book in Pei Manxilou's hand, as if it was the most tempting thing in the world.

Wang Shoufu looked at Xu Erlang deeply, his eyes and expression frozen.

Wang Simufang's heart was pounding, and he looked at Xu Erlang who was standing proudly in the field obsessively.

Tai Fu took two steps forward on crutches, squinted, looked up and down, and then paused twice on crutches, stroked his beard and laughed:

"This is my great scholar, this is the real rising star. ”

The third princess and the fourth princess looked at Xu Ci, and their eyes bloomed.

"The Xu family is really a double master, Xu Qi'an is already dazzling, this Xu is not inferior to the old. Someone sighed.

Zhang Shen snatched the book of war from Pei Manxilou's hand and looked at it with deep confusion.

His expression changed, just like Pei Man's West Building just now.

By the time he finished reading, he was already stunned.

"No, no, who wrote this military book?"

What kind of level his own disciple is, he doesn't know? Xu Ci is outstanding in the art of war, but it is absolutely impossible to write such a military book that has penetrated the heavens and the earth.

The author of this book of war is someone else.

Zhang Shen couldn't wait to find out who the original author was, and Dabong actually had such a character.

Xu Xinnian nodded slowly: "This military book is indeed not written by me. ”

The hall was in an uproar, and everyone looked at him blankly and confusedly, and then at Zhang Shen.

Gradually coming back to the taste, this book of soldiers that impressed Pei Man Xilou, the author is someone else?

"Is it Wei Yuan, is it Wei Yuan?" Zhang Shen asked again.

One after another, eyes fell on Xu Erlang.

Wei Yuan........ Pei Man Xilou muttered to himself.

Wei Yuan! Everyone suddenly realized.

"What's the matter with Duke Wei?"

Xu Erlang frowned, a little displeased, his eyes swept over everyone, and he raised his voice: "This is the military book written by my eldest brother." ”

In an instant, inside and outside the pergola, on the shore of Lu Lake, the silent needle drop could be heard.

..........

PS: I really wish I could write a big chapter of 10,000 words every day, and my brain says: No, you can't do it.
