Chapter 21: Border Emergency (Part 1)
After five consecutive days, Liu Yixuan went to the imperial guard camp every day to continue to stance and practice assassination. Teacher Yuan thought he was just coming to the military camp to make a new look, but when this force passed, he would naturally go wherever he could cool down. Unexpectedly, Liu Yixuan came to the school ground on time every day. In addition to practicing stance, he also practiced formations with many soldiers, without any signs of getting tired of it, which made Teacher Yuan look at him with admiration.
Teacher Yuan called Liu Yixuan to his side and said, "Young Master is the son of the prime minister. I believe he will be the magistrate in the future. He has a bright future, but why did he suffer such hard work when he ran to this military camp?"
Seeing him asking this, Liu Yixuan probably doubted his will and thought he was just here to play, so he said:
"Now the Song Dynasty is facing foreign invasion. Our Song army is defeated in the border. As a man from the Song Dynasty, he should kill the enemy for the country. Even if my younger brother is the son of the prime minister, he cannot avoid it! If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, we are all dogs who have lost their families, how can we have a future?"
Although Teacher Yuan was born as a general, after hearing this, he felt that this young master had some masculine backbone and praised:
"Well said it! I am worthy of being a wise minister. As expected, I am different from those playboys. Today, Yuan taught the gun technique I have learned in his life to the young master. Please come and see!"
Teacher Yuan kicked a spear and grabbed it in his hand, and started dancing in the school. Liu Yixuan watched carefully and found that it was indeed a good marksmanship. He only saw:
As fast as lightning, dancing like pear blossoms, moving like a strong wind swinging willows, quiet as geese falling from flat sand; rising and falling like dragons coming out of water, rotating like eagles hitting the sky. Flying up and down, like wind sweeping over the remaining clouds, thrusting left and right, really like a white snake spitting out his faith. Advance its sharpness, retreating its speed, being incredible, and changing unpredictable.
Teacher Yuan flew on the school ground with his spear, which shocked Liu Yixuan and his friends and applauded repeatedly.
"Good shooting skills! Teacher Yuan is worthy of being the coach of the imperial guards. I really admire this powerful weapon for killing this style!" Liu Yixuan was very excited.
Teacher Yuan danced for a while, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Young Master Liu laughed. This gun technique emphasizes the eight words "sting, thrust, shoot, strike, dance, turn, tremble, and thrust". These eight words correspond to eight kinds of footwork. Anyone who wants to learn guns and sticks must first learn footwork. If the young master really wants to learn guns and sticks, these basic footworks must never be spared!"
"Okay, I would like to ask Teacher Yuan for advice!" After saying that, he followed Teacher Yuan and gestured. When several soldiers saw this, they also came over to watch, compared and practiced with Teacher Yuan.
The imperial guards cheered in the camp and then. Teacher Yuan danced all eighteen weapons. Many new soldiers were the first time they saw Teacher Yuan's martial arts and couldn't help but applaud.
Liu Yixuan only wants to learn marksmanship and is not interested in other weapons. Since he was a child, he dreamed that he could kill seven in seven in and seven out in "Changbanpo" like Zhao Zilong in "Three Kingdoms". However, in the war in the era of cold weapons, it depends on physical strength and strategy. The so-called "marker technique" is nothing more than testing his proficiency with weapons.
Teacher Yuan showed the eight changes in shooting skills to Liu Yixuan and the soldiers who wanted to learn gun skills. This was not his unique skill, but just a refinement and summary of his previous experience on the battlefield.
Liu Yixuan carefully recorded every move and practiced it seriously. Obviously, he had no talent for martial arts, but just some fancy moves and compared it. Teacher Yuan saw his focus on his face and didn't say anything to hit him. In his opinion, these young men learned martial arts and strengthened their bodies and kept the house. If they really went to the battlefield, they would have to waste their lives.
Liu Yixuan was playing around again and again, and he felt quite beautiful. He was thinking: "If I learn this marksmanship and my essays, wouldn't it be Confucius's waist-strapped sword - both civil and military? I'll go back to school tomorrow and play in front of others. Those beautiful girls shouldn't look at me with admiration? It's so cool!"
However, his fantasy was soon shattered, because it was still unknown whether he could go back. He is now in the Northern Song Dynasty, in a prosperous dream that is about to be broken.
A group of soldiers surrounded Yuan Mengqi, shouting that he would practice the use of various weapons. As the instructor of the gun and stick, Yuan Mengqi's duty was to teach soldiers to use various weapons. He was naturally happy to see so many people willing to come to learn. Everyone was practicing happily, but they saw Xiao Liu running over hurriedly.
"Teacher Yuan, General Liu asked you to go to the big tent to discuss matters, saying that there was an emergency military situation." Xiao Liu said gasping.
After hearing this, Teacher Yuan quickly left the school ground and rushed to the Zhongjun camp. Liu Yixuan hurriedly asked Xiaoliu: "Liuzi, what's wrong? General Liu asked Teacher Yuan to discuss?"
"I don't know either. It's just that a messenger came to the military camp just now. I wanted to stop him outside the gate. Seeing that he had a clearance token in his hand, I knew that there must be an emergency military information. Later, I saw General Liu gathering many small schools outside the tent to inform the managers of each battalion, saying that it was discussing military information, so I came to inform coach Yuan." Xiao Liu said.
"It seems that something big happened to the border, and a war is about to be fought." Liu Yixuan affirmed his judgment and said, "It seems that the Jin soldiers are going to invade our Song Dynasty. We are going to fight to kill the enemy soon. That's great. I can't wait anymore and I have to let this golden dog come and go!" Liu Yixuan took ignorance as his personality, and didn't know where the confidence came from, so he threatened to let the enemy come and go.
"Did the Jin people really fight to the Central Plains? Didn't the emperor ask Taiwei Wang to send troops to Taiyuan? Why are the Jin soldiers coming so quickly?" The promotion, who had always been uninterested in state affairs, also asked.
Liu Yixuan said: "It's hard to say. I don't know if the Jin people went south to the Central Plains, but the Jin people will come sooner or later. In the first year of Jingkang, it seems that this trip to the Northern Song Dynasty has not been in vain. I hope to meet Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. If I can fight back the Jin people with them, I will be worth this trip!"
The promotion naturally didn't know what he was talking about, but just frowned and scratched his head. While he was talking, he saw another soldier guarding the gate running over.
"Young Master Liu, someone came from outside the door and said that it was from your mansion and that he wanted to see you." The soldier said.
When Liu Yixuan heard someone coming to look for him, he hurriedly walked towards the gate of the camp. Who was the person coming and what happened? Let's wait for the following text. (To be continued)
