A young and handsome boy, wearing a sword on his waist, looked at the mighty capital of the Zhou Dynasty and said with emotion: "The world has been in turmoil for a long time. Now that the Central Plains has such a scene, the unification has been achieved. It is our generation's fortune and the world's fortune."
"Sir, can you enter the city now?"
An alert boy came nearby.
The handsome young man said: "Hurry up and enter the city. I can't wait to visit Mr. Yu Jun, Master Yang and Mr. Ping. I heard that Mr. Zhou Zong, the great Confucian of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is also in Bianjing. He can listen to the advice of many great sages and enjoy good things in life."
It's a pity that Elder Feng has passed away and cannot listen to his teachings."
As he spoke, he called his followers behind him to line up for inspection and enter the city.
The handsome young man's name was Bi Shiyuan, courtesy name Rensou, and he was from Yunzhong, Daizhou. Several generations of his family had been officials in Daizhou. His father, Bi Yilin, had served as the magistrate of Guancheng County, and his family had quite a lot of money.
Due to the death of his father, Daizhou was remote in Yunzhong, its talents were exhausted, and there were no good teachers.
Bi Shiyuan was eager to learn since he was a child, but because his stepmother Zhu was still alive, he did not want to stay away and served around her.
Zhu was reasonable and called Bi Shiyuan directly to him and said: "To study, you need good teachers and friends. My son should go to the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains."
Therefore, Mr. Zhu gave the savings accumulated by the Bi family for generations to the young Bi Shiyuan and asked him to go south to study.
Bi Shiyuan sought teachers in Songzhou and Zhengzhou, and became good friends with Yang Pu, Han Pi, and Liu Xi, and he was successful in his studies.
Bianjing will be the last stop in his plan. He will visit Dou Yujun, the leader of the Central Plains scholars, ask for calligraphy lessons from Yang Ningshi, the most famous calligrapher after Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, and meet with Changle old Feng Dao.
His eldest son Feng Ping asked for advice on classics and history.
After completing these three things, he plans to return to Yunzhong, Daizhou, to serve the Zhu family, and concentrate on his studies and digest the knowledge he has learned over the years. A hundred years later, the Zhu family will take the imperial examination and become an official to benefit the people of the world.
Talents like Bi Shiyuan plan their future in great detail.
But he didn't know that just after Fang entered the city, he was already being targeted.
People who like him don't...

It was someone else, the inspection general judge Kong Shouzheng.
This person’s boss is none other than the newly appointed Nanmen Inspector Wang Yansheng.
Wang Yansheng was expelled from the palace office for offending Shi Shouxin. From a general with military power, he suddenly turned white, and he was inevitably depressed.
After spending half a month in confusion at home, I was summoned by Zhao Kuangyin. I found out that I had a new appointment, and that I was still the inspector. I felt even more grateful to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin also told Wang Yansheng to work hard, not to act impulsively, and to think twice before acting.
Wang Yansheng naturally agreed one by one.
Having learned a lesson from this, after Wang Yansheng took office, he did not dare to mess around and did his job conscientiously.
However, as he gained a deeper understanding of the duties and responsibilities of the inspector, Wang Yansheng suddenly felt that there was an imbalance.
The Inspection Department began in the Five Dynasties and was responsible for training armored soldiers, patrolling prefectures and counties, capturing thieves, and was responsible for Kaifeng's public security.
There are four inspection envoys under the Inspection Department of Bianjing City, who are responsible for the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. Therefore, the areas they are responsible for are defined as the boundaries, and they are called the four inspection envoys of southeast, northwest and southeast.
Among them, there are two markets on the East and West Streets of Bianjing City, which is the Bianjing Business Center.
Then the north gate is close to the imperial city, where the dignitaries of the court gathered. There is also the world-famous Tianshui Lane there.
The south gate of Kaifeng is naturally the place where common people and people from all walks of life live together.
This gap is huge.
The inspection envoys of the East and West Gates are treated as uncles by the big merchants in the East and West Streets.
From time to time, the North Gate inspection envoy can go to Tianshui Lane for prostitution with big names.
He, the inspector of the South Gate, faced a group of miserable people, how could he possibly gain anything?
Because he had committed a crime before, Wang Yansheng planned to keep his peace.
But while my colleagues were sitting there, someone would give them gifts to curry favor with them, and even engage in prostitution for free. They were obviously of the same rank, but no one cared about them.
How could Wang Yansheng bear this huge difference?
This South Gate Patrol...
Chapter 29 Think before you act (page 2/6), click the next page to continue reading.
The position of inspector was originally a very good position, but the more Wang Yansheng worked, the worse it became.
Until today, my subordinate Ma Yuan came to report that a fat sheep had entered the south gate.
"The leader was a scholar, a boy and three horsemen driving the car, but there was also a carriage, and behind it were two donkeys pulling ten boxes. Judging from the style of the boxes, they were quite heavy. I don't know what they were.
what."
"Ten boxes?"
Wang Yansheng's heart was pounding and he said, "Keep an eye on him and see where he lives."
He rubbed his hands greedily, and suddenly thought of Zhao Kuangyin's advice, "Don't act impulsively, think twice before acting."
Wang Yansheng calmed down, thought about it three times, and said: "Don't let him find out. The troops were divided into two groups. One group was to keep an eye on him to see who he had contacted and where he had been. The other group was to inquire about this person. See
See if he has a background and can he be provoked."
I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin’s advice is still useful.
Wang Yansheng really thought twice before acting this time and was not reckless at all.
When Ma Yuan arrived home, he took a small detour and arrived at the home of Kong Shouzheng, the inspector general.
Kong Shouzheng was also waiting for Ma Yuan at home.
"Here, Brother Ma, here's the beef specially prepared for you. We two brothers will share it and eat it."
Kong Shouzheng enthusiastically invited Ma Yuan into the house.
Ma Yuan also moved his index finger. Even in Bianjing City, beef is an extremely luxurious delicacy.
The two sat across from each other, and Ma Yuan explained Wang Yansheng's situation in detail.
Kong Shouzheng listened carefully and solemnly warned: "Then let's wait. Remember, you must be patient and don't instigate Wang Yansheng to do anything. He must make his own decisions in all actions. Wang Yansheng is a reckless man, but he
Zhao Kuangyin behind the scenes is not easy to mess with. We can’t afford to mess with him..."
Ma Yuan fanned the smell of beef with his hand and said: "Brother Kong, don't worry, everything I did was what Wang Yansheng asked me to do. I didn't rush ahead when I took action, and I won't let him divert trouble to the east."

Kong Shouzheng nodded and smiled.
He had no enmity with Wang Yansheng, but Wang Yansheng's appearance picked the peach that belonged to him.
Ever since he was promoted as the South Gate Inspector, there has been no new person to replace him.
The affairs of this patrol envoy are naturally handled by him, the deputy patrol inspector.
According to common sense, if the South Gate Inspection Officer is always vacant, he can be promoted directly if he performs well during his tenure as an Inspection Officer.
Kong Shouzheng acted as the South Gate Inspection Officer for half a month, and he was about to be promoted. Wang Yansheng's sudden appearance directly ruined Kong Shouzheng's dream.
Kong Shouzheng didn't have great ambitions, so he just wanted to endure it.
As a result, Wang Yansheng was greedy and violent, and regarded the inspection department as a soldier of the front department.
During training, he was beaten and scolded frequently, regardless of the severity of his attacks, which made everyone angry.
If you follow a boss like this, let alone get promoted and make a fortune together, if you don't let him get involved, you'll suffer as well.
Kong Shouzheng had resentment in his heart, so when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but arrange with his confidants and colleagues to arrange for Wang Yansheng.
**********
Imperial Camp Division.
Luo Youdu is inspecting the training of Longxiang Army.
Each and every strong soldier, lying low and flat, was conducting cavalry face-covering assault training under the command of Dang Jin.
The so-called face-covering assault is to cover your face with your arms and use the large wrist guards on your wrists to protect the vital parts of your face.
Luo Youdu always thought that the Khitan cavalry were very bullish, but he had no idea where the bulls were.
But after reading Fu Yanqing's notes, I gradually gained a certain understanding of the Khitan cavalry.
The Khitan cavalry were indeed very strong, but not as strong as he imagined.
At least during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Khitan repeatedly went south and was severely beaten by the military leaders of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The five tiger generals of Hedong in the early years: Zhou Dewei, Fu Cunshen, Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan, and Guo Chongtao almost regarded the Khitan as an experience package.
Especially the battle where my old father-in-law, Fu Cunshen, defeated the cavalry with his footwork, was simply not too awesome...

force.
When the infantry moves, it becomes an army; when it stops, it forms a stronghold; when the infantry is turned into flowers, it becomes a flower.
As soon as the Khitan army approached, they fired a volley of thousands of crossbows, and their arrows blocked the sun. This was definitely one of the most classic examples of a battle in which infantry defeated cavalry.
If Shi Jingtang hadn't directly sold Yanyun Sixteen Provinces, the Khitan's strength might not have been able to defeat those reckless military leaders of the Five Dynasties who simply relied on continuous escalation in combat.
He is reckless, but he can really fight.
Luo Youdu silently watched Dang Jin's training, but deep down in his heart, he thought that he had to give Shi Shouxin some more wool and ask him to personally give guidance to Dang Jin and his Longxiang Army.
Or think of a way to throw Dang Jin into his old father-in-law's Tianxiong army for training?
Compared to the two of them, Dang Jin was a bit greener and couldn't control the speed of the cavalry well.
When fighting Khitan cavalry, you must control your speed, otherwise it will be like Tie Hanhan in the game who has no rush skills and has no temper at all for kites.
The biggest characteristic of the Khitan cavalry is that they can win with numbers.
They have always maintained that all the people are soldiers, and they can easily gather about 100,000 cavalry.
In addition to their numerical advantage, they also have their innate riding and archery skills and Khitan war horses.
The generals of the Song Dynasty looked down upon the inferiority of Khitan war horses because of their different fighting styles.
The Khitan war horses are not bad at all. They are a typical northern horse breed. They are in the desert and grasslands. They are cold and windy and the environment is harsh. The Khitan horses generally have a low center of gravity and short stature. However, they have strong muscles and can run and turn quickly, with durability and agility.
Extremely tall, it is the most suitable war horse for riding, shooting and charging.
Most of the Central Plains generals like to use cavalry in battle, so the taller and bigger the war horses, the better. Horse breeds produced in the West have become the favorites of the Central Plains generals.
Most of the warhorse breeds cultivated by the Central Plains Dynasty in ancient times originated from the Lianglong region in the northwest.
Therefore, there is an old saying, Liangzhou's big horse is rampant in the world.
Compared with Khitan horses, Lianglong horses are better in size, faster and more explosive. However, their endurance and adaptability to the environment are far inferior to...
Chapter 29 Think before you act (page 5/6), click the next page to continue reading.
Khitan horse.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the Khitan cavalry on the battlefield, you can only fight at close range. First, you must resist their bows and arrows. The face-covering assault is designed to deal with the tactics of the Khitan cavalry.
But the Khitan cavalry will not let you get close to you stupidly. Their horses are short and nimble and can easily turn around and retreat.
We must use the explosive power of Liangzhou Malaysia to catch up with them in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, as time goes by, Liangzhou Dama's physical strength will be exhausted, and he will only be beaten.
