Bianliang, the scene of the contest to recruit a bride.
Let's say that Lu Yao finally started to take action after participating in the competition. Before that, he followed Fangzhuang without saying a word. But now, facing the two masters of the team, Lu Yao could not sit still and wait for death.
As Jin Yu and Xiaopang, they started to take the initiative to attack one of them.
"Does the mask Jin Yu is wearing look a little familiar?"
Before this, Jin Yu had not attracted much attention. Whether it was Cao Guoshu, Han Yonghe, Yan Shu or Fu Bi, they all felt that this person was just a thug around Fangzhuang.
But now, when Jin Yu actually takes action, they have the opportunity to take a good look at the figure of the masked man.
Han Yonghe's eyes were always focused on Jin Yu's mask, but he only felt that he had seen this mask before.
"Isn't the image on this mask the same as the mask worn by General Di Qing?" As a man who advocates martial arts, Cao Ping has a very deep understanding of military generals, and he could see the clues at a glance.
When he was young, Di Qing was a very charming person. Many young people in the village came to seek refuge because of his reputation, and he was regarded as the leader of the village. However, there was no one who did not survive in the Jianghu. Within a few years, Di Qing was convicted of crimes.
He was punished with a whale's face and was ordered to join the army. This kind of punishment was to have words tattooed on the face and then solidified with ink to prevent the criminal from escaping. This scar stayed with Di Qing all his life.
At that time, the northwest region was in turmoil, and Li Yuanhao frequently led troops to cause trouble. The Song Dynasty mobilized young people to support the frontiers, and Di Qing also enlisted in the army. When he was a junior high school student in the army, Di Qing got into trouble, but the prefect saw that he was a talent and let him go.
The days of the war were bitter. The two armies continued to exchange fire and did not sleep well. However, the war brought Di Qing closer to the stage of history. After the Battle of Song and Xia, Di Qing became famous in one battle.
Di Qing was extremely brave and a talented general. He was also humble, meticulous and had the air of a gentleman. Young people with both ability and political integrity are naturally lovable.
During the war, the military judges Yin Zhu and Di Qing met several times. Every time they talked about military affairs, they couldn't help but admire Di Qing's talent. Yin Zhu not only admired Di Qing, but also introduced him to his friends.
During the Xia War, they both served as deputy envoys for economic and strategic affairs and reform affairs.
Yin Zhu could be said to be Di Qing's father-in-law. Later, when he died of illness, Di Qing tried his best to help his family. However, Di Qing certainly did not expect that one day he would face a fate similar to Yin Zhu's.
After Fan Zhongyan got to know Di Qing, he fell in love with him and taught him to read "Spring and Autumn", saying: "A general who does not know the past and the present is a brave man." From then on, Di Qing studied hard, studied and worked hard, and gradually learned the ancient and modern art of war.
For more than ten years in the frontier, Di Qing made outstanding military exploits. He served successively as Jiedu envoy, governor of the state, and was transferred to the central government and later as deputy privy envoy. The military power of the two Song Dynasties was separated. The Privy Council was the highest military administrative organ in name, directly adhering to the will of " and having the power to mobilize troops across the country.
It can be said that Di Qing is already at the top of his life.
In the fourth year of Huangyou's reign, Nong Zhigao of Guangyuan Prefecture rebelled, causing turmoil in the Lingnan area. Civil servants Sun Mi and Di Qing led their troops to march south together, with Di Qing as the commander. All strategic planning came from his hands, especially the battle of Kunlun Pass, which was fought very beautifully.
However, after the war, after the war, Di Qing was rewarded for his merits, but Di Qing withdrew and handed over full power to Sun Miao. Sun Miao was a man of very bad character, addicted to women, and took away wives many times. These things are still recorded in the official history.
Seeing Di Qing be so upright and upright, I feel ashamed.
During this battle, his subordinates once discovered an unknown corpse wearing a dragon robe, and they all thought it was the rebel leader Nong Zhigao. Di Qing said that he had no evidence and he would rather believe that Nong Zhigao had escaped than take credit for it.
Please reward.
When Di Qing was in a high position, someone claimed to be a descendant of Di Renjie, went to Di Qing's house to seek relatives, and even boasted that Di Qing was a descendant of Di Renjie. Di Qing was born in poverty, and he did not want to join a famous family, so he laughed and said that he was from an ordinary family, how could he dare to climb high?
Di Renjie.
It can be seen that Di Qing is an honest man. In the officialdom, honest people will be bullied, and honest generals will be bullied by cunning civil servants. What's more, in , the idea of "valuing civility over military affairs" has always been implemented, and the status of military generals has always been very embarrassing.
There is a story recorded in the "Silent Notes" written by Wang Zhi of the Northern Song Dynasty: Once, he wanted to choose a good archer and competed with the Khitan envoys in archery. The selected candidates were well-paid. Chen Yaozi, a civil servant who was born, happened to be a highly skilled archer. He responded
Zhenzong ordered him to compete with the Khitan people. As a result, his mother got angry when she heard it and cursed: "You are a top scholar and became an official in the court, and now you are coveting the salary of a military attache. How shameful!"
This story reflects the value orientation of "valuing civility over military power" that was generally recognized by the society of the Song Dynasty. At first, he controlled the elite troops with the post of inspection in front of the palace, and finally seized power through mutiny. He himself knew very well how dangerous it was to have military power in the hands of outsiders.
, so they tried their best to weaken the power of military commanders. After taking office, he made it clear the policy of "emphasis on culture and restraint on military affairs". First, he prioritized the development of higher education and expanded the number of people in the imperial examination.
The entire court was an environment for scholars, which made it very difficult for a high-ranking general like Di Qing to withstand the swords of the enemy, but could not withstand the words of the civil servants.
In the court, not everyone is as friendly to Di Qing as Yin Zhu and Fan Zhongyan. Since Di Qing was transferred to the central government, many civil servants were dissatisfied with Di Qing. When Nong Zhigao rebelled, the court initially regarded Sun Mi and other civil servants as the
He appeased the envoys and led troops to attack, but with little effect. So Song Renzong asked Di Qing, who was in the center, to take charge of the expedition, and the governor generals were in charge of the overall situation.
The admonishment officer stood up and said that it was not suitable for a military man to hold a full-time position. He suggested that another person could be arranged as an assistant to act as a constraint on Di Qing. Song Renzong followed Pang Ji's suggestion and sent Di Qing to take charge of the southern expedition.
In the fourth year of Huangyou's reign (1052), Mannon Zhigao of Guangyuan Prefecture rebelled and captured Yongzhou. He also conquered nine prefectures along the river and surrounded the city of Guangzhou. The area outside the mountains was in turmoil. Yang Wei and other pacification envoys were responsible for pacifying the barbarians.
There was a rebellion, but the Song army had no results for a long time. Sun Mian and Yu Jing were also ordered to be pacifiers and led the army to attack the rebels, but Song Renzong was still worried. At this time, Di Qing went up to ask for a fight. When he went to see Song Renzong the next day,
He said: "I was born as a soldier. Apart from killing enemies on the battlefield, I have nothing to do to serve the country. I hope to lead hundreds of cavalry from foreign tribes, plus some forbidden troops, to cut off the heads of the rebels and send them back to the capital."
Song Renzong admired his heroic words, so he appointed him as the envoy of Xuanhui South Campus, Xuanfu Jinghu North and South Road, responsible for handling the Guangnan rebellion, and set up a banquet in Chuigong Hall to see him off. At that time, Nong Zhigao returned to the army and reoccupied
In Yongzhou, Di Qing joined forces with Sun Mian and Yu Jing's troops to station in Pennsylvania.
Prior to this, Jiang Kai and Zhang Zhong were defeated and killed because of underestimating the enemy, and the prestige of the officers and soldiers was greatly reduced. Di Qing ordered the generals not to engage in battle with the rebels rashly, but to obey his unified command. Chen Shu, the governor of Guangxi, took advantage of Di Qing's return.
Before arriving, he led eight thousand infantry to attack the rebels without permission, and was defeated at Kunlun Pass. Yuan Yong and others fled. Di Qing said: "The different orders were the reason for the failure of the army." So he gathered all the generals in the morning and arrived.
In the hall, Chen Shu, the commander-in-chief, was arrested, and thirty people including Yuan Yong, the general of the palace, were summoned. They were pushed out of the army gate and beheaded for the crime of defeat and escape. Sun Mian and Yu Jing looked at each other in shock, while all the generals were so frightened that their legs trembled.
Then the army stopped advancing and rested for ten days. The enemy's scouts reported back to Nong Zhigao, thinking that the Song army would not attack soon. But Di Qing gathered the army the next day, crossed the Kunlun Pass in a day and night, and set out from Qui Nhon.
Formation. After the rebels lost their strategic position, they all came out to fight. Sun Jie, the forward of the Song army, died fighting with the rebels at the foot of the mountain. The morale of the rebels was so high that Sun Miao and others were so frightened that their faces changed. Di Qing held a white flag in his hand and commanded.
The cavalry rushed out from the left and right wings, which was unexpected by the rebels. They defeated the rebels, chased for fifty miles, and beheaded thousands of people. Nong Zhigao's colleagues Huang Shimi, Nong Jianzhong, Nong Zhizhong and the pseudo-bureaucrats
Fifty-seven of the officials were killed, and more than 500 rebels were captured alive. Nong Zhigao set fire to the city at night and escaped. [16] At dawn, Di Qing led the troops into Yongzhou City and seized the gold.
Tens of thousands of silver, jade and silk, thousands of miscellaneous animals, and 7,200 old and middle-aged men who had been coerced by rebel prisoners were gathered, comforted and then released and dismissed. The heads of Huang Shimi and others were hung at the foot of Yongzhou City.
They showed the corpses of the rebels to the public and built a palace in the north corner of the city. Among the corpses of the rebels was a man wearing a golden dragon robe. His subordinates said that Nong Zhigao was dead and wanted to report to the court. Di Qing said: "How do you know this?
Isn't it a scam? I would rather say that Nong Zhigao is missing than deceive the court to gain military exploits."
Di Qing was reinstated as deputy privy envoy, and was promoted to the military governor of the National Guard, Hezhong Yin. After returning to the capital, Song Renzong commended him for his achievements, appointed him as privy envoy, and rewarded him with a set of teachings in the capital.
He also gave priority to his sons' official promotion.
In February of the second year of Jiayou's reign, Di Qing suffered from malignant sores on his mouth. He died in March. Song Renzong mourned for him in the Forbidden Garden, and posthumously presented him with Zhongshu Ling and the posthumous title "Wuxiang".
This time, Han Yonghe and Cao Ping were not wrong in their analysis. Lu Yao made this mask to commemorate General Di Qing. In such a dynasty that valued culture over military affairs, such a general came out. If Di Qing had been there during the Song-Xia War
If the general was still here, I'm afraid the war wouldn't be so strenuous.
One of the hallmarks of Di Qing as a mature general is that he thinks carefully about his plans and decides his future strategy before deploying troops. After Nong Zhigao rebelled, he first used Yu Jing as the pacifier to conquer. The Jiaozhi Kingdom stated that it was willing to send troops to help conquer Nong Zhigao. Yu Jing
Thinking that it was credible, he prepared food for ten thousand people in Rongzhou and other places to prepare for his troops. Song Renzong issued an edict to give 30,000 yuan to Jiaozhi for military expenses, and promised to reward Jiaozhi soldiers generously after defeating Nong Zhigao. Di Qing
After arriving in the south, he decisively sent a message to Yu Jing, ordering him not to send envoys to Jiaozhi to borrow troops. At the same time, he reported to Song Renzong to state his opinion. He believed that it was unreliable for Jiaozhi to send infantry and cavalry to support. Moreover, borrowing troops from foreign countries to quell civil strife
, it is not good for oneself. If they borrow troops from foreign countries, they will be greedy for money and ignore integrity, so they will cause rebellion. This view convinced Song Renzong. Later, Di Qing quickly defeated Yizhigao. This incident showed that Di Qing was planning to conquer the enemy.
When planning a strategy, we not only consider how to win, but also what strategy to use to win without leaving any further consequences.
One of the characteristics of Di Qing's tactical guidance is the good use of deceit in fighting the enemy. When fighting the Xixia army, he cleverly used the gong sound as a signal to make the soldiers stop and retreat, making the Xixia army unaware of the Song Dynasty.
He knew the strength of the army and did not know where the Song army was. When the enemy was suspicious, he suddenly launched an attack and the Xixia army was defeated. When he attacked Nong Zhigao, he ordered the army to rest for ten days. Nong Zhigao's spies reported this situation
According to the report, I thought that the Song army would not attack immediately. But the next day, Di Qing quickly organized his cavalry, crossed the Kunlun Pass in a day and night, and went straight out of Quy Nhon Pu. He first fought fiercely with the Yi army with the vanguard, and then commanded the cavalry on the left and right flanks.
Attacking the enemy from a flank, the Nong army was unprepared and was defeated and fled.
Strict military discipline and good treatment of soldiers are the basic characteristics of Di Qing in running the army. Since ancient times, generals have either enforced the law like a mountain or been compassionate to the soldiers. There are not many people who have both. Di Qing has always been like this. When he was ordered to challenge Nong Zhigao,
He ordered the generals not to go out to fight the enemy without permission and to wait for his unified dispatch. Chen Shu, the governor of Guangxi, took advantage of him before he arrived at the front line and sent 8,000 infantry to attack the enemy without authorization. They were defeated at Kunlun Pass. Di Qing said: "The orders cannot be ordered in order.
Therefore, the army lost the battle." According to the military law, Chen Shu and thirty generals who fled the battle were killed. While enforcing the law, he was very considerate of the soldiers. During the march, he and the soldiers worked hard together with hunger and cold; after winning the battle, he often
He pushed the credit to his generals and his subordinates. He planned the whole battle against Nong Zhigao. After the war was over, all other ordinary matters such as recording the merits and reporting victories were left to the pacifier Sun Miao. He didn't take it to heart at all, so he kept his subordinates deeply.
Accept him as a human being.
Of course, Di Qing was reviled in the end because he didn't know much about how to deal with people and the current situation. Under such a dynasty framework that valued civility over military affairs, Di Qing's rise was tantamount to making those literati attack together. Among them were
Including Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu.
According to "Ye Ke Cong Shu", when Di Qing was serving as the privy envoy, Tong Ping Zhangshi kept making suggestions to Song Renzong, requesting that Di Qing be transferred from the central government and weaken his power. Song Renzong was not happy and said that Di Qing was a loyal minister.
Wen Yanbo replied coldly: "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister? But because of the military situation, there was a change in Chen Qiao." Wen Yanbo's words were heartbreaking. Wen Yanbo and Di Qing were both from Fenzhou, but they were both from Fenzhou.
He's a fellow countryman, but he's secretly plotting behind his back.
Another person who advocated the removal of Di Qing was Ouyang Xiu. In the first year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu petitioned three times to remove Di Qing from the post of Privy Councilor.
The views of these three memorials are similar to Wen Yanbo's. He believes that Di Qing, as a military general serving as a privy envoy, holds military secrets, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. It is better to transfer him out of Beijing, which can not only save Di Qing's life, but also eliminate hidden dangers.
.
Ouyang Xiu felt that Di Qing was from the army and was deeply loved by the soldiers. If a villain wanted to support him in rebellion, Di Qing would not know how to advance or retreat, and the consequences would be disastrous.
In addition, it happened that the floods were severe that year, so Ouyang Xiu used Dong Zhongshu's theory of divine induction and believed that the emperor should meditate on his own mistakes. There were two urgent matters, one was to establish the crown prince, and the other was to remove Di Qing. There was a general in the central authority
God is not happy if you are in office.
Ouyang Xiu himself said that a drunkard does not care about wine. These three articles are superficially aimed at Di Qing, but in fact they reflect the long-standing contempt and suspicion of military commanders by civil servants. Swearing people without swearing, killing people invisible, this is the power of scholars
.
When Ouyang Xiu ascended the throne, Di Qing, who had suffered much slander, was dismissed from his post as Privy Councilor, left the capital, and went to Chenzhou to serve. Song Renzong did not expect this parting, and he would never see Di Qing's silent and determined back again. The civil servants also
Unexpectedly, they would lose a colleague who had been slandering and sarcastic for many years.
Returning to the arena, everyone's eyes were focused on Jin Yu. In other words, it should be said that they were focused on his distinctive mask.
"This guy, I don't know what his Kung Fu skills are." Cao Ping said.
On the field, Lu Yao and Xiao Pang started to rush toward the opponent. The man took his time and straightened up his posture, preparing to fight one-on-one.
"The five people I carefully selected have already surpassed Fu Shaolong and his team in martial arts. How can they be defeated so easily? Not to mention one against two, even one against three is no problem." Cao Cao
This is what Uncle Guo was thinking in his heart at this time. When he was helping Fu Shaolong with the design, he chose five people from another team. They were all top experts. Their purpose was very clear, which was to help Fu Shaolong.
Long clears the obstacles, and if there are ten people left on the field at the end, they should be from these two teams. Then there will be a very fierce fighting scene, and Fu Shaolong will finally win.
It's just that the participation of these ten common people contestants was unexpected by Cao Guojiu. However, half of these common people contestants have been eliminated less than ten minutes after the competition started. This made Cao Guojiu think that, except for Fangzhuang,
The other four members of his team are probably not that powerful. Even though they may be better in kung fu than other contestants, there is absolutely no chance of winning against this team that he secretly arranged.
"Do you think they can win? Those are the masters arranged by dad." Cao Han heard Cao Yu talking about Fu Shaolong's team and the team composed of the other five masters arranged by Cao Guoshu. She
Naturally, he was angry about Fu Shaolong and his father's arrangement. Of course, Cao You didn't tell Cao Han at first because he was afraid that Lu Yao would not take action during today's game. In that case, the outcome of this game would have been doomed.
Now, it doesn't matter whether he tells the truth or not. In that case, Cao Han will definitely marry Fu Shaolong.
But now the situation is different. Lu Yao and his people are fighting hard in this arena. As a party to the competition, Cao Han naturally has the right to know these things. Cao You also wants to take this opportunity to let Cao Han see clearly.
The ultimate purpose of this marriage, Cao Han originally had a feeling in his heart that his father would find a man with a good past to be his son-in-law for him. However, he did not expect that Cao Guojiu would do it for him.
interests, secretly began to manipulate the outcome of this game, and the other party also accepted an arrangement made by Cao Guoshu. After hearing Cao You tell her the truth about this game, Cao Han was very concerned about the rich man.
It can be said that Shao Long didn’t have a good impression at all.
At the same time, she also began to be very worried about the situation of Lu Yao and the other five people. Although she was very aware of Lu Yao's kung fu, and Cao You also confessed that Lu Yao had actually been practicing martial arts at Jiuzhongxian Restaurant during this period.
But these people who were recruited by his father Cao Yi to help Fu Shaolong are not ordinary people. It is not known which of them is better in martial arts. It is just that Lu Yao and the others only have five people, but the other party has ten people. This
This should also be why when facing these two people, Lu Yao would not hesitate to choose two versus one, and to resolve the battle quickly. This was also to save physical strength. It may seem a bit invincible to outsiders, but for Lu Yao
For them, it should be the most correct method.
At the same time, Fang Zhuang on the field was also a little worried about the situation of Lu Yao and the others, and kept his eyes on them. However, a voice came from behind Fang Zhuang.
"Is it really good to just watch other people fight in such a leisurely way?"
Fangzhuang turned around and saw a man of similar age standing opposite him. Obviously, this man was also one of the five-person team.
"Are you here to eliminate me?" Fang Zhuang said, thinking that this guy should have specially come to his side from the central area. Now almost everyone believes that he is the leader of this five-person team.
Therefore, to deal with yourself, you will definitely send the person with the strongest kung fu. As long as Fang Zhuang is eliminated, the team's discipline and execution will be greatly reduced. This is a very correct choice.
Needless to say, the person standing in front of me should be the core figure in the other team arranged by Cao Guoshu, and his kung fu should also be the highest.
"Why, do you want to eliminate all five of us by sending only three people? Don't you need to worry about the others? Fangzhuang asked.
The man smiled and said: "Those people, the other two people in our team can eliminate them. As for you, it doesn't matter whether the four will be eliminated in the end. As soon as you are eliminated, they will naturally
They will get into chaos, and then there will be no point in them continuing to play."
"I'm very good at sizing up the situation, and what I said is good," Fang Zhuang nodded, and at the same time put on his posture, "It's just that you miscalculated a bit, that is, can you really eliminate me?"
The other party did not reply this time, but rushed directly towards Fangzhuang.
At the same time, Fu Shaolong, who was on the right side of the ring, seemed to not intend to wait and see any longer.
"Let's go to the central area of the arena and eliminate some players first."
The other four people couldn't understand why Fu Shaolong chose to act at this time. It stands to reason that if he continued to stand still at this time, his physical strength would definitely be able to defeat Fangzhuang and the others in the end. But why would Fu Shaolong act at almost the same time?
Take action with Fangzhuang and the others?
But after all, the captain is Fu Shaolong, and everything must be obeyed by him. The other four did not ask any questions and followed Fu Shaolong towards the central area of the ring.
