Chapter 53, Xu Wenhu put the dragon gate array

The poem says:

The big swing dragon gate is really good, and the sky falls in front of the bottle.

secretly used a beautiful man's trick to seize the Tang Pass.

And the county guards will have the ability, and the Taiping army division will maneuver.

wants to break the fortress from the inside, so the handsome guy will be blushing.

But it was said that the "three brothers of the Zeng family" met Xu Wenhu, and Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming said at that time: "Mr. Xu, why don't we learn from each other?"

Xu Wenhu said: "The two Zeng Xian brothers are quick to talk, so straightforward, if I shirk it again, it will become 'too modest, really proud'." Invite the three Zeng Xian brothers to come to the backyard. ”

So the four of them went to the backyard, and Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "Three Zeng Xian brothers, how can we compete?"

Zeng Guangdao: "How about comparing fists and feet first, and then comparing weapons?"

Xu Wenhu said: "Wenbi or Wubi?"

Zeng Guangdao: "Mr. Xu, we are three brothers, you are just yourself, it is better to use Wenbi's method." I'll compete with you first, and then my second brother will test your weapons, how about it?"

And so the jousting began.

Zeng Guang got off the field first and tried his fists and feet with Xu Wenhu, this Xu Wenhu used a unique set of boxing techniques, called Overlord Boxing, but seeing this boxing method, it is obviously full of overlord spirit, but the moves are above board, which makes people feel that they are dignified and upright, and there is no sense of strong Liang domineering.

The two of them are limited to thirty moves, and within thirty moves, whoever comes out of the field will lose. In this kind of comparison, in order to ensure victory, the participants use all the tricks and real skills, and dare not adulterate.

Zeng Guang first took out the boxing gloves and put them on, and then he went off the field to compete. In fact, Xu Wenhu had already seen it:

- Look, I can't recognize you with my gloves on? Look at your hands, the skin is fine and tender, it's clearly a woman!

Aren't you the daughter of Murong Gui in this county? Don't think that if you change into men's clothes and wear a fist glove, you can hide it from me! What do I do? If you hide it, I will also learn it in vain for so many years!

This Xu Wenhu has other plans in his heart, he already knows the other party's situation and has a plan. At this time, he only pretended not to know the true identity of the other party, and in the arena, he tried his best to win with the other party.

In the blink of an eye, thirty moves have passed, and the two sides are evenly matched.

Outside the court, Zeng Ming and Zeng Liang counted the moves, and saw thirty moves, and the two of them did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and they both shouted: "Thirty moves!

So Xu Wenhu and Zeng Guang both jumped out of the circle, and they both arched their hands to each other: "Admire!"

Next, Zeng Ming and Xu Wenhu competed in weapons. It is also a battle after thirty moves, and there is no winner or loser. So the four of them came to the study and sat down. Drink tea.

Zeng Guangdao: "Mr. Xu's boxing skills are very admirable, this big gun trick is also wonderful, I don't know what boxing and what marksmanship, can Mr. Xu teach me?"

This Xu Wenhu, he originally had the intention to calculate the unintentionality of the Zeng brothers, so Xu Wen put on a big swing in the dragon gate array-

I only heard Xu Wenhu smile and said: "Yes, I had to meet masters in my early years and teach me marksmanship and boxing, all in the name of 'Overlord'." ”

Zeng Guang heard this and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the Overlord Gun! I have admired it for a long time! The Overlord Gun is very famous, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see it." Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu actually got the true biography of Master Li Wenshan!"

Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "Brother Zeng Xian is really well-informed! My teacher is indeed Li Wenshan's old man. ”

Zeng Guangdao: "Mr. Xu, Xiao Ke has long heard that the name of Master Li Wenshan, the great Confucian in the capital, is now known as the famous Confucian in the capital. I heard that he has accepted a lot of disciples, and there are many young talents!"

Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "If you talk about young talents, there are not a few of my brothers at the same time, everyone is not young, and now those few are at most middle-aged and elderly talents, and they can no longer be the word 'teenager'."

However, after I left the school and went down the mountain, I heard that among my teacher's new disciples, there are two brothers, Li Shijian and Li Shijun, who are really young heroes!"

Zeng Guang said: "It turns out that Mr. Xu and Li Shijian are brothers! Then Li Shijian is the Taiping Khan Emperor, why didn't Mr. Xu go to your junior brother Khan Emperor?"

Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "The virtuous brother doesn't know, the humanity is: the chicken is close to the soup pot, and the wild crane has no food and the world is wide! However, it is also good to be a literacy teacher, travel all over the world, and make more heroic friends! As for me, when it comes to making friends, it can be said that it is suitable for all ages!"

When the Zeng brothers heard this, they all smiled and said: "What a 'suitable for all ages', Mr. Xu is really funny when he speaks." I wonder what kind of characters Mr. Xu has made friends with the heroes of the world? Can you introduce one or two to my brother?"

Xu Wenhu said: "I'll just say a few." Does this old hero, such as the dervish monk, count as one?"

The brothers of the Zeng family all said: "This person used to be the father of the Khan of the Nanping Khanate, and he is indeed powerful. ”

Xu Wenhu smiled: "This young man is a young hero." For example, Li Shijian and Li Shijun, both of them are still unmarried, are they considered young heroes?"

Zeng Guang Zeng Ming said: "People who have only heard their names, but have never seen them!"

Who knew that Xu Wenhu said again: "In my opinion, the dervishes are not as heroes as Li Shijian and Li Shijun. ”

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming both smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid that you are looking at people with colored glasses, right? The Li family brothers are out of the same division as you, and you are talking to the two brothers, isn't it? That dervishes, some people have recently said that he is invincible in the world!"

Although Brother Li Shijian was the emperor and commander of the Taiping Khanate, I disdained to climb the dragon and the phoenix, otherwise, how could I wander to the end of the world and end up in this county? ”

Zeng Guang once said: "How do you say this?"

Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "The fame of the dervish monk has only been a matter of the past seven or eight years. When he was eighteen or nineteen years old, could he compare with the Li Shijian brothers? From the perspective of development, at the age of the dervish monk in the future, the martial arts skills of the Li family brothers will inevitably be better than that of the dervish monk.

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming were moved when they heard this, and they both said: "Such a young hero, it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to make friends." ”

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he thought: I was about to induce you two to have this kind of thought!

So Xu Wenhu boasted for the two brothers Li Shijian and Li Shijun, and for a while, in Xu Wenhu's mouth, this Li Shijian and Li Shijun brothers are rare in the world and difficult to find in the sky.

This handsome guy is not only an infatuated brother, but also very handsome, not only good at writing, but also good at martial arts, and good character! These two handsome guys are hard to find in the sky and hard to find on the ground!

The most important thing is that these two handsome guys, it is said that they once aspired to be not beautiful as flowers, civil and military, they are resolutely not married, even if they are boiled into old men, they will not marry!

After this boasting, Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming were excited, and they didn't feel that they were endlessly fascinated, and they were envious!

This Xu Wenhu secretly observed his words and looks, and found that Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming were moved, so he naturally struck while the iron was hot, and brought the example of Li Shijian and Li Shijun attacking the city and seizing the land, and bragged about it again.

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming, where did they know this Xu Wenhu's old treacherous slippery? Even Zeng Liang listened to it as if he was fascinated.

Zeng Guang Zeng Ming said: "It's a pity, we are in the Great Western Khanate, and we can't go to the Taiping Khanate to see the demeanor of his two brothers!"

Xu Wenhu said: "What's so difficult about this? Not to mention seeing their demeanor, even if you want to make friends with them, it's not that difficult." After all, I used to study with the same teacher as them, and I only had to write a letter to meet them. Especially Li Shijun, who is currently stationed outside the county. ”

The three brothers of the Zeng family suddenly became vigilant: "Mr. Xu, could it be that you are a spy of his Taiping Khanate?"

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he laughed: "The three virtuous brothers are talking like this, aren't they going to laugh to death!"

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming both said: "Why do you laugh to death?"

Xu Wenhu said: "If I were a spy of his Taiping Army, would I reveal my identity in front of the three virtuous brothers? Could it be that my Xu Wen's head is not made of flesh and I am not afraid of being cut off?"

Taking a step back, if I am a spy of the Taiping Army, and the three virtuous brothers are good friends with my Xu Wen, will I not be afraid of being implicated?

The three brothers of the Zeng family all said: "Well, Mr. Xu is also reasonable. The Khan's order was a mistake. ”

Xu Wenhu said: "I and the three virtuous brothers are familiar at first sight, and the three virtuous brothers are the same as Xu, and they have the heart to make friends with the heroes of the world, so Xu did not take the liberty to tell you this-the young heroes of the world, that is, Li Shijian and Li Shijun." It's just a pity, it's a pity!"

Xu Wenhu said that the only young heroes in the world were the Li family brothers, so that the three brothers who pretended to be surnamed Zeng, that is, the three sisters and brothers of Murong, were all inadequate, and they even gave birth to the idea of seeing each other and competing with each other.

Zeng Guang Zeng Mingdu said: "I see. Thank you Brother Xu for introducing these, and he is willing to help our brother to make friends with the Li family brothers. But I don't know what Brother Xu is sorry for?"

Xu Wenhu said: "What is there to be thankful for? If you want to go, I will write to introduce you now." Then Li Shijun, if you want to see it, you can see it when you go out of the city. Even if I went to see Li Shijian, it was only three or five days of hard work - from here to Tiantong Mansion, the horse went back and forth, and it was only two days each way.

As for me saying it's a pity, it's a pity that the two of them are too high, and I'm afraid that I will become an old man and it will be difficult to find a partner. ”

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming hesitated: "Really?" -- This is a vague question, whether it is to ask the Li family brothers can really see it, or whether the Li family brothers will really become old men? It's hard to say.

Xu Wenhu said with a smile: "Two virtuous brothers, if you need Xu to write a letter to introduce one or two, I will write it now." ”

Xu Wenhu got up after saying that, took the four treasures of the study, and wrote a letter. When the three brothers of the Zeng family came to see, they saw that the letter read:

The two junior brothers of Shijian Shijun, and the three new friends of the Foolish Brother, Zeng Guang, Zeng Ming, and Zeng Liang of the Zeng brothers, are all young heroes, and they are also willing to make friends with the heroes of the world. I hope that the junior brother will not be slow to treat the friend of the foolish brother!

Zeng Guang Zeng Ming Zeng Liang saw Daxi, Zeng Guang Zeng Ming received the letter at that time, collected it personally, and said: "Mr. Xu, I wonder if you are willing to go with us to meet your junior brother?"

Xu Wenhu said: "The two of them have a high status now, and I don't want to climb high." However, if the virtuous brothers insist that I go with you, it is not impossible. ”

Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming said: "If Mr. Xu goes with us, we don't need this letter." However, we can't go today, and we have to go home and discuss it. ”

Xu Wenhu smiled: "Of course, I have to go home and discuss it." Three virtuous brothers, when are you coming over?"

"Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!" said the three Zeng brothers.

So next, the three brothers of the Zeng family talked with Xu Wenhu about the general trend of the world for a while, and said some poems and articles, which coaxed the three brothers of the Zeng family to have countless good feelings towards the Taiping Khan Emperor Li Shijian and his younger brother Li Shijun.

β€”β€”This Xu Wenhu is extremely eloquent, and speaks to the side that is worthy of the Zeng brothers' hearts, and he is really called "Lotus with a Tongue".

After some conversation, the Zeng brothers left, but Xu Wenhu hurriedly wrote a letter and asked people to hand it over to Li Shijun.

Why is this Xu Wenhu here? It turns out that he came here under the pseudonym Xu Wen and came here to merge the county to carry out his "cultural plan" and to use the "Taiping Song of the Emperor of the Taiping Khan" to break the hearts and minds of the Great Western Army. After not wanting to come, he got acquainted with Murong Liang.

Xu Wenhu had already asked people to inquire about Murong Liang's family background, and he had the intention to woo him, but Murong Liang was in his hands and unconsciously.

Xu Wenhu saw Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming of the Zeng family, and he had already expected that it must be Murong Liang's sisters Murong Chan and Murong Juan. Xu Wenhu also heard about the choice of her sisters' mates, so Xu Wenhu boldly designed a "beautiful man plan", which is a masculine version of the beauty plan, not with a beautiful woman, but with a handsome guy, and the handsome guy used is none other than Li Shijian and Li Shijun's brothers!

However, it was said that Xu Wenhu sent a letter to Li Shijundao, and the letter said:

Senior brother, sister of the Murong family, martial arts, character and talent, are all extraordinary. As far as I know, there is a good way to not only lay down and merge the county, but also to marry your brothers a beautiful daughter-in-law who is both civil and military. The plan is so, so, so.

At the end of this letter, he emphatically said: If you and the younger brother of the Emperor Khan do what Brother Yu said, then the time for us to destroy the Daxi Khanate can be greatly advanced! Because we can not only capture the county in one battle, but also capture his two ministers, Tang Zirong's one article and one military force, Zhong Junli, the general of the Zuo Governor, and Ha Junbao, the military division of the Zuo Xiang.

Capturing these two people is equivalent to cutting off one of Tang Zirong's arms and legs!

When the letter is written here, it is signed and marked as a special mark.

Xu Wenhu took Danqing again, spread out the paper, and depicted the appearance of Shuangshu with a fine brush, and made two portraits, one for his sister, marked with the words "Murong Chan", and one for his sister, marked with the words "Murong Juan", and then wrapped the letter and the portrait together.

Xu Wenhu was just about to be sent out, and he thought of a thing, so he attached another piece of stationery and talked about another thing:

Senior Brother Shijun, Sister Murong two, according to my words and looks, after the words of the foolish brother, I am already moved, and I intend to marry you and the younger brother of the Khan, if the younger brother of the Khan Emperor does not allow Cui Gu as an excuse, this plan will inevitably be difficult to succeed, only to invite the two queen mothers to come forward, at the same time, mobilize all the ministers to force, good things can be done, I hope you prepare in advance, junior brother.

Senior brother, after you see the letter, if you want to do this and this, then the foolish brother guarantees that this plan will achieve great success!

Not to mention how Li Shijun did this letter after it was rushed overnight, and said that on the morning of the third day, sure enough, the "three brothers of the Zeng family" came.

The three brothers saw Xu Wenhu, and Zeng Liang said, "Mr. Xu, let's go over together today, how about it?"

Xu Wen said: "Okay! It's just that it's not easy to go out of the city during the day, if it's night, we can just climb over the city wall." ”

Zeng Liang said: "This is also easy to do, I asked a friend, and it will be good to mix it out when the time comes." ”

In fact, these three have already been discussed, and Murong Liang came forward, as the son of the guard, and asked his father to send the three of them out of the city from the west gate. But to outsiders, he did not report the identity of the son, but only said that the three brothers surnamed Zeng, Zeng Guang, Zeng Ming, and Zeng Liang were also.

Murong Liang also considered not going to the east gate, because there was a Taiping army outside the east gate, and when he went to the west gate, he only said that he was sending his friends to the imperial capital of the west of his country, and the investigation was naturally relaxed.

At that time, four people and four horses arrived at the west gate, and sure enough, there was a favor, and the guards at the city gate let the four people out of the city.

The three brothers of the Zeng family all said, "Mr. Xu, can we come back before dark today?"

Xu Wen said to his three brothers: "Let's go to visit, and we can come back after noon." ”

So the four rode westward.

Xu Wen and Zeng Guang, Zeng Ming, and Zeng Liang walked about ten miles to the west, then rode north, and walked nearly ten miles, then turned to the east, walked more than twenty miles in one breath, and then went south, making a big circle - but they turned to the rear of Li Shijun's camp, and then they came to the camp.

When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Xu Wenhu was pretending to be pretty: "If you have to work with all the soldiers, please report to your family and say that there are friends such as his senior brother Xu Wen who are visiting!"

In fact, some of the soldiers of the Gate Army had already recognized him, and this was not his own military advisor Xu Wenhu? However, the soldiers of the Gate Army had already been instructed, and they were respectful and polite, and they all said: "Please wait for a while, and the little ones will go and report!"

Not long after I went, I heard the sound of trumpets and cannons in the camp, which was a "boom, boom, boom" and twenty-four sounds!

In the sound of the cannon, Zeng Guang and Zeng Ming saw that the door of the big camp in front of him was wide open, and a group of generals, all with bright armor, surrounded by a young general, greeted him!
