Chapter 49: Turning Strength
"Young master, Chiyang Wei can be invaded by the barbarians year after year, the Du family army has always been invincible, and the most important thing is the loyalty of the Du family army. The generals trained the troops, and they all firmly controlled the teams of each guard station with the backbone of Du Fu. For so many years, no matter how hard the battle was, our Du family army has never been a traitor. Now, the young master is training a new army, but he does not use the people of Du Mansion as the backbone, how can he ensure the loyalty of the team?" Du Gao asked.
Du Xuan was not in a hurry to argue, but smiled and asked, "I remember that my father was just a hundred households in Qianying Fort at first. There is not a single family member, how did he guarantee the loyalty of the team at that time?"
Du Gao and Du Fang were both stunned.
Du Xuan didn't wait for Du Gao to reply to Du Fang, and then said: "Time may have passed too fast, and everyone can't remember how my father went from a hereditary hundred households to the position of Wei Commander step by step. ”
Du Gao and Du Fang didn't know how to answer.
"I've read a lot of history books, but I've never seen a cronyistic person achieve great things. It is reasonable and reasonable to be virtuous and not to avoid relatives. Meritocracy is the way to go. ”
After Du Xuan finished speaking, he went back to the study, and he still had to digest the results of reading that strange book yesterday. Leaving Du Gao and Du Fang, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't say a word for a long time. This third young master turned out to be so deep that the two of them couldn't see through it.
"What should I do? Do you still go to the training ground?" Du Fang asked.
Du Gao shook his head: "No, go back as soon as possible." Don't tell anyone about the third young master's affairs when you go back. Young Master, their thoughts are not something that we as subordinates can speculate. ”
Du Gao and Du Fang proposed to Du Feng that day that they wanted to go back immediately to restore their lives, and asked Du Feng to explain to the young master.
Du Gao and Du Fang were reprimanded by the young master, so they naturally couldn't hide it from Du Feng, so they said: "That's okay, the eldest young master must still be waiting for you to return to your life, but the young master may have to reply to the eldest young master, I'll go and tell the young master." ”
When Du Feng went to the study, Du Xuan had already written a reply.
"I have already stated it in my letter. Du Feng, you all came out of Du Mansion, and your loyalty is fine, but not every one of you has the talent to lead troops to fight. In your case, although you are not good at fighting, I am reassured that you can handle the affairs of the fort in an orderly manner. If Du Jiajun wants to be invincible, he must appoint people on the basis of merit and employ people without doubt. I'm too strict with Brother Fang and Brother Gao today, you go and apologize to them for me. ”
Du Xuan said very frankly, and Du Feng's eyes were red: "Young master, don't worry. The young master is a Wenqu star who has a good understanding of people. When these squad leaders came to Black Bear Castle, they were still recruits, and no one was optimistic about them at that time, but the soldiers they brought out now, I can see the momentum of our Dufu Guards. It shows that the young master is using the right person. Brother Gao and Brother Fang didn't have bad intentions, they just understood the young master's mind for the time being. ”
"Okay, there you go. I still have important things to do. Du Xuan nodded.
Du Feng has followed Du Xuan for a long time, so he naturally knows that Du Xuan's cultivation method is different from ordinary people. So he hurriedly retreated and closed the study door gently.
When he came, Du Feng was not entrusted with a heavy task, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but now, Du Feng has found his own position. He didn't think that managing the affairs of Fort Black Bear was as important as training troops to fight.
In the study, Du Xuan was not flipping through the books, but digesting the previous harvest.
As soon as Haoran righteousness was running, the contemplation began to run, and this time the statue of the saint in his heart seemed to have more charm than before, but Du Xuan couldn't tell what the current statue of the saint was more than before. It's hard to put it into words. If I had to describe it, it would be that it no longer seems to be a statue, but a sense of life.
This time the visualization seemed to feel much easier than before, and the time for the visualization seemed to have become much longer. The time spent on visualization is almost twice as long as it used to be. In the past, Du Xuan's visualization could maintain the time of one stick of incense, but now it has naturally become the time of two sticks of incense. After two sticks of incense, the statue of the saint began to slowly become blurred, and then turned into wisps of righteous qi and accumulated in the heart of the text.
Du Xuan could feel that the total amount of Haoran righteousness in Wenxin was much more than before. Running the art of refining the body again, Haoran righteousness ran in the meridians of the body for a week, and there was an extra layer of dirt on the surface of the body. Obviously, the Haoran righteousness in Du Xuan's body has been raised to a higher level, and the effect of cutting hair and washing the marrow is also stronger.
After completing his cultivation, Du Xuan stood up and let out a long roar, and his cultivation had improved a lot. casually pushed the hand, there was no sound at all, but a black bamboo plant a zhang away fell down with a bang, Du Xuan walked over to take a look, only to see that the black bamboo fracture was like a divine weapon cut out, the cut was very smooth and sharp.
This black bamboo is not simple, the black bamboo that is a little thicker than the thumb is completely solid, this piece of black bamboo, at least more than ten years of old bamboo, the material is dense and tough. When there was a shortage of weapons, the Great Qi border army would sometimes cut black bamboo and sharpen it into spears.
However, it was cut off by Du Xuan's palm from a distance of one zhang, which is really a bit unbelievable. Obviously, Du Xuan's martial arts cultivation has been improved to the level of transformation strength. From refining the body to the bright energy, to the dark energy, and then to the transformation of the energy, some martial artists take twenty or thirty years. Transformation is only one step away from innateness. This is not an easy task. You must know that even Du Changgeng is just an innate cultivator now. And the eldest and second eldest of the Du family are now just cultivators at the level of dark energy, and they are known as the double masters of the Du family. Who would have thought that Du Xuan had only spent a few months directly crossing over from refining his body to transforming his strength. Du Xuan's cultivation was originally unusual, and there was nothing strange about not progressing according to normal steps.
Du Xuan didn't know it either, because he didn't know the state of the specific level of the martial artist.
Du Xuan sighed with the miscellaneous book of Jiuzhou travels, this is still a very ordinary manuscript, if you can get the original, what kind of scene will it be? If you can get the true biography of Confucianism or even the true biography of a half-saint or a saint, what kind of effect will it have?
It's just that in a remote corner like Chiyangwei, it is already a very remarkable thing that he can get a miscellaneous book of Jiuzhou travels.
It's good to have such a result, and Du Xuan didn't expect more.
