Volume 1 Yin and Yang Yi Tao Chapter 20 Advance and retreat without blame

"I'll say it again, you're really unexpected. The scholar in cloth said leisurely.

He sat on the stone steps excavated by the mountain road, crossed Erlang's legs, and did not have the elegance that a scholar should have, but was on par with Wang Wumaliu's playful temperament.

At the same time, the scholar also had a leftover chicken bone in his mouth, which should be called flower chicken brought from Ling Qianshan.

"It tastes so good. I heard you don't know how to cook? Actually, you have a lot of potential to be a cook. ”

"You are unexpected, referring to this?" Ling Qianshan was speechless, he pondered for a long time, and came to the scholar, "I want to know, who are you, and why did you go to such great lengths to me?"

"The first question was easy to answer, although I have forgotten my past name. The scholar jumped up and patted his buttocks, and spat out the chicken bones, which turned into slag when they fell to the grass beneath their feet, and soon left no trace.

"But now I, you can call me a class teacher. ”

The class teacher walked over and patted the young man on the shoulder.

At the same time, on Ling Qianshan's bare arm, layers of goosebumps were stacked.

"Do you know about me?" asked the class teacher, raising his eyebrows.

Ling Qianshan looked at the seemingly handsome scholar in front of him with complicated eyes, "I've just heard of it." ”

A few years ago, during the brief period of chaos caused by the Song Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, the foreign enemies Liao State and the Xijing Xuan clan took advantage of the fire to rob, and they all eyed the Great Song Dynasty.

In particular, the Liao State led hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Song Territory, and the banner was "Bao Zhou and Song Dynasty", which successfully divided the border army and civilians, making the nine towns fight separately, and the originally impregnable Qinzhou defense line was eroded in just one night, and it existed in name only.

The vanguard of the Liao army was 10,000 cavalry, and the soldiers drove straight in, and the soldiers pointed directly at the last fortress of Qinzhou - Fengtian Fort.

As long as Fengtian Fort can be captured, the Liao State will be sure to drive the army straight to the capital of the Song Dynasty, conquer the empty capital of the capital, and then attack from all sides like cutting a cake, divide Huaxia Shenzhou, and within a few years, it will be able to completely occupy the Central Plains and achieve the long-cherished wish of the Great Liao for a hundred years.

The Liao army has such a certainty to win this battle of national fortune!

Compared with the Liao army, which was working together, the Song army, which had just changed banners, was scattered.

Fengtian Fort only had 3,000 light cavalry temporarily mobilized, and the armor had not yet been completed, serving as the chief general of the anti-Liao army, and abandoned the army and fled before the vanguard of the Liao army arrived.

Seeing that the situation has collapsed beyond any longer.

The nameless scholar stepped forward. No one knows how he persuaded the 3,000 light cavalry to abandon his plan to defend the city, and no one can tell what kind of strategy he used to turn things around.

Everyone only knows that this scholar led 3,000 light cavalry to meet the elite of the Liao army outside the city for a day and a night, and by the early morning of the next day, 10,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and only dozens of 3,000 light cavalry fell from their horses and were seriously injured.

This was the first battle of the scholar's debut.

It was a great victory that can be recorded in the history books, and it can be called a miracle battle.

However, while the men, women, and children of Fengtian Fort were rejoicing, the scholar announced that this was just the beginning - next, he led 3,000 light cavalry to the aid of major towns, and broke the Liao army separately, during which the twenty-four battles were won by less, and nearly 100,000 enemy soldiers and civilians were captured, and the Qinzhou defense line was repaired with one person.

Because the scholars and the three thousand light horsemen were all dressed in white clothes and white robes, they were called the "white robe army" by the Liao army.

The invincible record of the white-robed army made the Liao army frightened. The Later Liao army felt that it was unable to complete its strategic goals, and did not hesitate to use grain and forage as bait before retreating, and the remnants of more than 200,000 heavy troops besieged the 3,000 light cavalry.

In the end, the white-robed army burned all the baggage, and after completing the strategic goal, the scholar was seriously injured and left, and the three thousand light horsemen did not survive, but the Liao invaded an army of more than 200,000, but only less than 10,000 returned to the Liao realm.

Therefore, it is rumored that this scholar's martial arts are almost at the pinnacle of the world.

It's not a martial song, it's a broken army.

Later, Emperor Taizu met with this scholar, talked with him all night, sealed him on the throne of King Qin, and gave him his name, for-

Ban Shi Zhao.

"I thought you had been killed. Ling Qianshan said honestly.

"Oh?"

"Because you have not been heard from since the new emperor ascended the throne. That's why everyone said that you were killed by the new emperor in Ouchi because of your high merits. ”

The class teacher pursed his lips and replied disappreciatively: "Of course this is a rumor...... Or it's not a rumor, Hua Tianyuan is much worse than Hua Manshan. ”

"Then what is your current martial arts realm, what is ......?"

"Why don't you think Xia Worm can talk to ice?"

"Insects that grow in the summer can't talk about ice in the winter. Do you want to say that I am limited by what I have seen and heard, and my knowledge is short-sighted?"

"No, I just want to say that for Xia Worm, knowing too much knowledge is harmful to itself. If the realm is too far, it is a myth and legend, if you want to know, you can bring the realm up...... Oh, by the way, you're a hollow valley orchid, and you can't get in. ”

“......”

Ling Qianshan thought that the Banshi Zhao would also tell him about the royal secrets, such as the relationship between Emperor Taizu Hua Manshan and the emperor's younger brother, and now the Song Emperor Hua Tianyuan, and then the tragic battle of the year and the subtlety of the strategy used in the command, but the Banshi Zhao did not say anything.

With just one sentence, he pulled Ling Qianshan's mind back from the nine heavens away:

"I am an old friend of Ling Qianshan. ”

"—Do you know your father's whereabouts?" Ling Qianshan asked eagerly, first surprised.

"I know the whereabouts of Ling Qian Mountain. ”

"Where is he ......"

"Ling Qianshan is dead. Without the slightest hesitation, the class teacher interrupted Ling Qianshan's questioning, and deliberately emphasized, "Although I can't tell you the details, I can say that Ling Qianshan has died a long time ago." ”

“......”

Ling Qianshan choked again.

Ban Shizhao looked at the side face of the young man in the moonlight, and saw Ling Qianshan's smile gradually stiffen and solidify. Ling Qianshan reluctantly turned around, avoiding the gaze of the class teacher.

But when he turned back again, he was back to his usual free and easy appearance.

The class teacher nodded appreciatively.

"Since my father has already died...... Ling Qianshan looked at the edict of the class teacher, even if he was facing a legendary person, there was still no dodge in his eyes, Ling Qianshan asked unceremoniously:

"Then why did you run out now and do some murderous trial on me?"

Until now, the answer is obvious. From beginning to end, Tang Yuan had the shadow of his class teacher behind him.

It was the class teacher who instructed Tang Yuan, first to test the wine shop, and then poison the forest. Although Tang Yuan kept his hand repeatedly, for Ling Qianshan, it was still a life-and-death struggle.

If it weren't for Ling Qianshan's luck, he would have followed his father's soul back to his hometown by now.

"Why now, the reason is simple, no matter what means you use, no matter what your qualifications are, whether you are empty or not, the end result is that you can draw with that guard. Then, even if you have touched the threshold of the greedy wolf realm, you have the qualifications to be tested by me. The class teacher said unhurriedly.

"The strong are always strong, the truth of heaven and earth - Ling Qianshan, your luck is really good. ”

Like Tang Yuan, he said the conclusion that Ling Qianshan hated the most and couldn't understand the most.

"At the beginning, I just sent Tang Yuan to test how far you have grown in three years under the pretext of asking about the whereabouts of the cheats. And Tang Yuan's answer is that you can't leave Luzhou City at all. So at that time, Tang Yuan wanted to kill you, because even if you lived, it was meaningless, and all that was left for you was humiliation and pain. ”

The class teacher said very frankly.

"But in the end, it wasn't you who was poisoned, but the white wolf. ”

Here, fates diverge, and the boundaries between the front and the back are clear.

Due to the poisoning of the white wolf, Ling Qianshan broke into the Ling Mansion and collided with the royal guards. In order to survive, Ling Qianshan had to stimulate the unprecedented potential in his body.

And Tang Yuan recognizes this potential.

"It's a miracle that you were able to tie that guard, and it's another miracle that you almost defeated Tang Yuan. Only when these two miracles happen will I appear in front of you. ”

"This trial is a test of your luck, willpower, perseverance, physical strength, and wisdom...... Tested your all. Only if you pass such a test, I will take you as an apprentice. ”

"Don't you think too much of yourself? Ling Qianshan couldn't help but sneer, "Why do I have to recognize you as a master......

"Because I am a class master, I am a strong person who can make you like me and become the supreme of martial arts. ”

The words of the class teacher's edict were loud and sound.

Apparently he wasn't lying.

However, Ling Qianshan didn't think about such a class teacher's edict, turned around and strode forward.

"Where are you going?"

"If I really have the realm of greedy wolves, I will definitely punch this self-righteous face. It's a pity that I can't beat you, that's a fact. So I had to go. ”

"You don't want to be strong?"

"Of course I want to be stronger, but my experience has taught me that you can't get strong by being given to others. ”

The class teacher couldn't help laughing: "The guy who lives on women really dares to say it." ”

"That's Ling Meixiang, it's different from you. Ling Qianshan said word by word. Once he made up his mind, he never looked back, and continued to walk towards the cave, ready to wake up the white wolf and hurry away.

The class teacher looked at the background of Ling Qianshan and only thought it was interesting. Of course, he didn't want Ling Qianshan to leave, so he threw out a killer move.

"But don't you want to know the truth?"

Ling Qianshan stood still.

"The truth about that bloody night. Why did the emperor order the slaughter of the Manchu family, but left only one son? Why did the Ling family know the news, but they were indifferent and let the situation develop?"

"You know?"

"I can help you know. For example, give you the opportunity to meet with the emperor. If this continues, you will never be able to see the emperor for the rest of your life. I can give you this opportunity. ”

was seen through.

Ling Qianshan gritted his teeth in annoyance.

The most fundamental reason why he decided to leave was that the words of this person named Banshi Zhao were full of lies, and every word in the words was not trustworthy, and they were simply a raging flame composed of conspiracy.

But since the Banshi edict mentioned the bloody night, Ling Qianshan can only take the chestnut in the fire.

"Anyway, you've passed, so just be my apprentice. The class teacher said with a smile.

From words and expressions alone, it is impossible to tell how much of it is true and how much is a lie.

But Ling Qianshan -

There is no choice.
