Facing Huo Guang's volunteering, although Huo Zhongru was not happy, he did not stop him. After all, Huo Guang was sixteen years old. In ancient times, it was the time to start a family and start a business at this age. It would be good to be able to make some achievements.
Having accepted Zhang Tai's invitation, Zhang Tai still felt a little pity that Huo Zhongru would not go. However, Huo Guang was Huo Zhongru's son, so he could take Huo Guang and make some achievements, which could be regarded as repaying Huo Zhongru's kindness.
After Zhang Tai left, Huo Zhongru said to Huo Guang: "Why do you get involved in whatever is dangerous? I said before that I wanted to go to war with your brother, but now I want to go to suppress the bandits, so I can quietly earn some money and marry someone."
Isn’t my wife bad?”
"Father, wealth comes from danger. I heard that Gan Fu is also going to suppress the bandits this time. He is a stylist. I have to see what the stylist's skills are like." Huo Guang rubbed his little hands with interest.
Seeing Huo Guang's excited look, Huo Zhongru couldn't help but think of when he was young. Who didn't want to be in the limelight when they were young? This is a normal situation.
"This time to suppress the bandits, the bandits are nothing more than a mob. This time we go with regular troops, so there should be no big problem, but remember not to charge forward. Just do whatever County Lieutenant Zhang tells you to do. He is a very smart man.
, can also plan and make arrangements for you. If something goes wrong, you can run away immediately without embarrassment."
"Father, our regular army went out to fight a group of bandits. It would be embarrassing if they escaped."
"Your life is the most important, do you understand?"
Huo Zhongru tried his best to persuade me.
In the afternoon, Huo Guang came to the county captain's house to report.
At this time, Zhang Tai was ordering people. This time, he would take a total of 150 people into the mountains to suppress the bandits. Most of them were soldiers from the county captain's mansion and the county's military camp. They were all young people and regular soldiers.
Military service in the Han Dynasty was also called garrison service, and was divided into two types, namely regular soldiers and regular soldiers. Regular soldiers were compulsory soldiers, and the compulsory service period was generally two years. In case of war, the period may be extended. Regular soldiers were men from the age of 23 to
At the age of 56, you can set aside 3 days for military service every year, or pay 300 yuan to hire someone to replace the annual military service.
Of course, in fact, you can also spend money to get free of charge, but it is more expensive and illegal. There are always many such situations in various counties and counties.
Most of the people Zhang Tai led this time were compulsory soldiers who had served for two years. Those veterans who had been in the army for more than ten years generally got mixed up in positions. The big soldiers were all regular soldiers.
In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also personnel from the county captain's mansion, and an envoy sent by the county guard. A relatively elegant-looking man in his thirties named Li Hu is also a member of the army.
Ganfu was not present at this time.
Because of his status as a scholar, Aguang was pulled directly to Zhang Tai. Zhang Tai took out the Kanyu map and pointed at Hushan and said: "Our goal this time is here. The opponent's number is over a hundred. If they occupy the mountain, there may be
Some iron tools are difficult to walk into the mountain. In order to avoid loss of personnel, we will camp at the foot of the mountain today. We will set off before dawn tomorrow. We expect to be here in an hour and go straight to the mountain."
Hushan is a mountain that looks a bit like a crouching tiger. It is right on the edge of the Fen River. The bandits on Hushan used to make a living by collecting tolls. Moreover, at the junction of Hedong County and another county, everyone
I didn't want to take care of it, but I didn't expect that Sang Hongyang would be offended this time, and a disaster was imminent.
"The leader of the bandits is called Zhang Da. He was a top soldier back then. He was asked to guard the border. He ran back and later hid in the mountains. He disappeared over the years and only appeared recently. The leader of the bandits in Hushan didn't know he was dead.
He was killed anyway, and now he is the bandit boss. Since we are going to fight the bandits this time, we must try to catch them all and capture Zhang Da alive."
"Lieutenant Zhang, are there any scholars among them?" Huo Guang asked curiously.
Everyone laughed at this question: "Ah Guang, how can there be so many scholars? This group of rabble doesn't even have many iron weapons. Do you still want to have scholars?"
Although iron tools in this era were not government-run, the control was very strict. Ordinary people who wanted to buy iron tools other than farm tools at home had to register. Most people did not have the ability to forge, so the bandits' iron tools should theoretically be made of iron.
rare.
We have regular troops on our side, and the Sang family has paid to fight off the thieves, so they still have a sword. The opponent is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.
Huo Guang slept in the military camp that night. Gan Fu didn't come, saying he would come early the next morning.
Huo Guang stayed close to Zhang Tai and Li Hu. He found a chance to rest and came to Li Hu's side to ask insinuatingly: "Brother Li Hu, I wonder what means you plan to use to fight tomorrow?"
He was now very curious about the fighting methods of the scholars. Before he had time to ask Huo Zhongru, if he was thinking about it, would he light a fire to burn people?
Li Hu knew his identity, so he said patiently: "Brother Huo is said to be just starting out."
"Well, I just learned it not long ago, and there are still many issues that need to be understood."
Li Hu sat down, picked up an arrow next to him, put it in his hand, and said, "Watch it."
Li Hu took out a pen and wrote the word "arrow" on the arrow. Then the Qi began to flow, and the arrow rose into the air. Following Li Hu's guidance, the arrow seemed to have a navigation system.
Generally, the mind moves as it pleases.
Using Qi to control objects is the most common fighting method used by scholars.
But this undoubtedly aggravated Huo Guang's doubts.
Huo Guang's doubt was not about using Qi to control objects, but about the written words of heaven [arrow].
If a scholar wants to activate Qi, he must write down words. Whatever the written words correspond to, he can control that thing. This is based on what Huo Guang understands at this stage of his understanding. However, after Huo Guang himself wrote about Qi before, he did not
He simply controlled fire, but instead generated fire. So, if he wrote the word "arrow", could he generate arrows?
Huo Guang did not dare to verify this conjecture at this time. If it could really be made out of nothing, it would be too shocking. This little secret of his could not be discovered by anyone.
After a while of understanding, it is obvious that Li Hu is also an entry-level scholar. He only knows simple Qi applications and cannot answer many of Huo Guang's doubts. In this case, the stylist Gan Fu may still have to answer his questions.
.
At night, when it was late at night, Huo Guang was awake alone before he dared to try it.
He wrote the word "arrow" on the piece of bamboo he carried with him and activated the Qi. He saw that the bamboo piece was motionless and no arrows were produced. Then Huo Guang wrote the word "Fire" again. This time, as the Qi flowed, flames suddenly appeared.
rise.
He can still make fire out of thin air, but he can't make arrows out of thin air. These seem to be two working principles, but with the same Qi and the same way of writing words, why do they get completely different results.
He took another arrow and wrote "arrow" on it. This time he could control objects with Qi like Li Hu.
When writing fire, it's generation, and when writing arrows, it's control. I can't figure out how it could be like this.
Then I suddenly had the idea to write it as a rocket.
