- Chapter 152: The Style of the Martial Arts Academy
No matter how hot the weather is, you can still easily find coolness in the mountains north of Chang'an City. The mountain forest is very dense, and mountain springs can occasionally be found, but not even a single animal can be seen in this large mountain. Some people say that the mountains have long lost their aura, so all the animals have fled. Some people say that because the construction of Chang'an City changed the dragon's veins, the mountains that look lush and green are actually long dead.
You can say anything, but it is an indisputable fact that there are no animals in this mountain.
But the plants here are very prosperous, and there are many towering trees that can only be hugged by three people. Therefore, it is obviously unreasonable to say that this is a dead mountain.
This is a very strange phenomenon. More than one Sui emperor even sent people to investigate, but could not find the reason why there were no animals. However, the mountain did not soon turn into a bare mountain as many people swore to predict. Grave bag. Of course, another legend derived from it was self-defeating.
There have been many versions of rumors, but the most disturbing one is definitely the legend of the Sui Dynasty¡¯s death on the day when the mountain was bald. Of course, such a legend must be inseparable from the belief that he is an outsider. Some people say that he is an old man with a white beard and an immortal spirit. Some people say that she is a fairy in fluttering white clothes, with ice muscles and jade bones. Some people say that this was said by a Buddhist monk with a ferocious face.
No matter who said it, the words are still the same.
The general idea is that when one day this mountain turns into a big bare tomb, then the Sui Dynasty will come to an end. But this is contrary to the prophecy that Chang'an will not fall if it is surrounded by a half-moon. In comparison, the people of the Sui Dynasty are naturally more willing to believe the latter. As long as this mountain remains, Chang'an City will remain.
The silence in the mountain was broken by the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves. Four people, three men and one woman, appeared in this mountain that had not been visited all year round. There are no roads in the mountains, and stepping on the thick fallen leaves feels like walking on a thick velvet blanket. It was very comfortable, but the faces of the four people walking through the woods were serious.
The sound of footsteps came and went, and walking in such a quiet and deep forest gave me the illusion of walking through the underworld.
The person walking at the front was a scholar-looking man wearing a commoner robe. His specific age could not be determined. The remaining three people kept a distance of more than ten meters from him, and walked in a file for three months, stepping on the footprints of their predecessors with every step. It seemed that the four people who walked all the way left only one person's footprints.
The civilian scholar walking at the front suddenly frowned, and then quickened his pace a bit. The people behind immediately sped up to catch up. The second person walking was a village girl wearing a blue floral floral dress and carrying a basket in her hand. Behind him was an old man wearing a royal blue robe. From time to time he glanced at the young woman in front of him with complicated eyes.
Walking at the end was a young-looking man. Wearing brocade clothes and a jade belt, he obviously has a high status. His face is very delicate, his eyebrows are very thin, and his eyes are big. The lower jaw is a bit pointed compared to others, but it looks pleasing to the eye. The mouth is small and the lips are very red. Such a well-dressed young man seemed a bit out of place when walking with three other people.
The first one is a commoner scholar, the second one is a village girl, the third one looks like a rich man, and the last one, the young master, seems a little out of place with the three of them.
The commoner scholar walking at the front was Zhuo Buyi, but he quickened his steps after making a gesture. The people behind him no longer followed his footsteps, but fanned out and covered him in front. If you look carefully, you will find that even though they are walking on the soft fallen leaves, they have not left a trace. The rotten fallen leaves had not changed at all after being stepped on by their feet.
It seems that there is still only one person¡¯s footprints.
What appeared in front of the four of them was a clearing, with a pile of extinguished charcoal next to a rock. Zhuo Buyi knelt down and felt the temperature of the charcoal, then shook his head and said, "I've been away for at least half a day."
"I'm curious"
Mr. Jinyi, who was walking at the end, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't they choose a route that could escape as soon as possible? Why did they have to enter this mountain? There is no doubt that escaping here will leave more or less traces."
The old man in the sapphire blue robe was Li Nan. He seemed to have a very respectful attitude towards the young master in brocade. When he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and replied: "Perhaps, they have no intention of escaping in a hurry."
Zhuo Buyi nodded and said: "If they leave in a hurry, it means that they don't know about the imperial court's preparations to launch troops in the northwest. But if they delay it deliberately like now, they probably have found out. In other words At least there was a third person who took another route and brought the news back, and the people who entered the mountain were just delaying for him. "
"It doesn't have to be a human being, He Xi said.?I chased him westward and found no trace. If it were a human being, his innate divine vision could not be concealed. "
Li Nan said.
"Wrong"
The proprietress wearing a blue floral rag skirt squatted down and looked at the rock carefully, then picked up some soil and smelled it: "There are not two people here, although there are two people left along the way. There are no traces, but I¡¯m sure there should be three people escaping this way.¡±
"If you say yes, it must be."
Li Nan said.
I don¡¯t know why, but there is always something different in the way he looks at the landlady.
However, the proprietress didn't seem to have any good impressions of him. She stood up and walked to Zhuo Buyi and said, "There is a person with very vain steps. Either the young monk who was seriously injured left behind, or there is another person with average martial arts who doesn't even know how to practice. He is with them." Together."
"Who could it be?"
Young Master Jinyi asked.
¡°You¡¯ll know when you find them.¡±
The landlady didn¡¯t seem to have a good impression of this handsome young man. She replied coldly and then moved forward again. The face of the young man in brocade changed slightly, but he managed not to have an attack. Li Nan approached him and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, she once traveled westward with Prince Zhong."
Hearing these words, the expression of Mr. Jinyi, who was called His Highness by Li Nan, changed slightly. When he looked at the landlady again, his eyes were filled with respect.
At this moment, Zhuo Buyi¡¯s expression suddenly changed: ¡°There are people coming from behind and they are moving very quickly!¡±

Fang Jie¡¯s first few days in the Yanwu Academy were uneventful. Every morning he listened to professors from the Yanwu Academy lecture on the art of war, read and wrote, and in the afternoon he would be taken to the waterfall by Qiu Yu to be tortured. Of course, he would occasionally be called away by Dean Zhou to conduct research on his body in a secret room.
Because Fang Jie rarely spent time with other students, rumors about him being arrogant began to spread in the Yanwu Academy. After arrogance, people often add three more words.
? ? Arrogant trash.
In the eyes of other students, Fang Jie¡¯s current strength is not bad. But he cannot practice, and sooner or later he will be slowly surpassed by other students who can practice. Cultivation is endless, and no matter how good a person's physical fitness is, it is only a fixed body. So the students' admiration for Fang Jie at first gradually turned into contempt.
Most people think that Fang Jie is very strong now. But in less than three years, Yu Xiao, Pei Chuxing, Xie Fuyao and others who were probably stronger than him might be able to get away from him by a few blocks.
Fang Jie regarded such remarks as a gust of wind and ignored them at all. The same few friends he interacts with every day are the same ones. Arrogant, don't wash your knife, thank Fuyao. Occasionally, he would have a drink with Yu Xiao, Pei Chuxing and the others. Of course, he would never take the initiative to treat them.
On the sixth day after entering the Yanwu Academy, the morning class was taught by Professor Mo Wanwan on how to use scouts. When marching and fighting, scouts are indispensable. Scouts are often the best soldiers carefully selected in the army. They are responsible for detecting the enemy's terrain and road conditions for the army, and even assassinating the enemy's commander.
Fang Jie and Zhang Kuang were both scouts, so when Mo Wanwu said that what he was going to talk about today was how to equip security guards, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, with some tacit understanding.
"An excellent scout sometimes plays a more important role than the general of an army. The commander is the brain of the army, and the general is the two arms of the army. Wherever the mind thinks, the arms will hit. And the scout, then It is the commander's eyes. The success of a scout can lead to the victory of the army. In the same way, the failure of a scout may affect the commander's judgment and lead to the failure of the entire war."
"professor!"
When Mo Wanwan was talking about this, a student raised his hand and said in a frivolous tone: "Are you exaggerating? If scouts are really so important, why is the highest level of the scout team just a school captain? From the sixth grade, this is also Is it too low?¡±
"May I have your name?"
Mo Wanwu asked.
"Liu Shuang from Chuzhou."
The student stood up and clasped his fists and said, "My father is Liu An, the governor of Chuzhou County."
"I didn't ask who your father was."
Mo Wanwan replied calmly, then walked slowly to Liu Shuang and asked, "Do you think what I said before was a bit exaggerated?"
"The student just thinks that scouts are important, but the gentleman's description of them as the eyes of a marshal seems to be too much. A commander knows astronomy and geography, knows right and wrong, and has a broad vision. How can he be just a general? Making judgments based on information obtained by scouts?As far as we know, Li Xiao, the great general during the reign of Emperor Taizong, once fell into the siege of the Southern Army when he was pacifying the south of the Yangtze River. He defeated the Southern Army of 70,000 with only 3,000 troops. This seems to have nothing to do with the scouts, right? "
"Are you from Chuzhou?"
"yes!"
"Chuzhou is also in the south of the Yangtze RiverLi Xiao is from the north."
Mo Wanwu said lightly.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Liu Shuang blushed and couldn't help asking slightly angrily.
Mo Wanwu smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just accidentally remembered that Li Xiao is from the north. What's wrong? Besides I ask you, Li Xiao broke through ten million with three thousand, which is indeed brilliant. But if he had had time to explore the enemy's situation, would he have Falling into an ambush by the Southern Army? Did you know that after the three thousand most elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty waited for reinforcements to arrive and break through the encirclement, only twenty-six of them would survive this battle? Everyone said he fought well, but he lost 3,000 elite soldiers because he didn¡¯t detect the enemy¡¯s situation in advance. I look down on him. Is it worth replacing 3,000 Sui elite soldiers with only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers of the Southern Army?¡±
"Sir, you are saying that you are stronger than General Li?"
Liu Shuang asked angrily.
Mo Wanwan ignored him and continued: "It was precisely because of this battle that Li Xiao wrote to the court to plead guilty. His Majesty Taizong thought of his great achievements and did not punish him, but Li Xiao did not dare to ignore the scouts from then on. In order to prevent it from happening again. After such a tragic incident happened, he invited many experts from the imperial guards to train soldiers and formed the first pure scout team in the Sui Dynasty. Before that, generals and commanders randomly assigned a group of troops to inquire about military information. Do. Do you know these things?¡±
With this last sentence, he was asking Liu Shuang.
"I only know that you, sir, are disrespectful to General Li!"
Mo Wanwu snorted coldly and said: "Respect is respect in words? Don't say that Li Xiao is not a god. Even if he is, can't he be accused of mistakes by future generations? I dare not say that he is better than Li Xiao, but I say that he is wrong. Wrong. And if you think I¡¯m wrong, you don¡¯t have to listen but you¡¯re not allowed to refute.¡±
"Why can you accuse General Li of his fault, but we can't accuse him of his fault?"
Liu Shuang asked angrily.
"Because Li Xiao is dead. If I say he is wrong, he will not crawl out of the ground and beat me because he is unhappy. But I am still alive. If you question what I said and I am unhappy, I can beat you at any time. Even your mother can¡¯t recognize you. Do you understand?¡±
"I don't accept it!"
Liu Shuang said: "How can a professor from the Yanwu Academy be so unreasonable?"
"Because this is the martial arts academy, whatever the professor says is right."
Mo Wanwan said: "I know many of you think what he said is right, and think what I said is wrong. Well, let's do this. Tomorrow, all of you who think Liu Shuang is right will form a team with him. I will take the rest The students are on the other team. Of course, the number of people I lead is only one-fifth of yours. Let¡¯s see how effective the scouts are.¡±
Fang Jie pursed his lips and smiled, realizing that he really liked the style of the Martial Arts Academy. - Didn't finish reading?
