Yuan Qing was shocked and said anxiously: "Master, aren't you going to teach me anymore?"
Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly, "It's not that I won't teach you, but I'm going to go to war. I guess I won't be able to come back for a year or two, so you can only practice your own skills in the future."
Yuan Qing was silent. The Sui Dynasty generals took military merits as rewards. Although Zhang Xutuo taught him martial arts, his grandfather could not promote him. Yuan Qing also knew that Zhang Xutuo had been hoping to fight for a long time, and he finally waited for the opportunity to make a meritorious service. How could he be
Can stop him again.
He nodded, "Where did the master go to fight?"
Although Zhang Xutuo didn't talk much and was extremely strict, it did not mean that he did not like Yuan Qing. On the contrary, he liked Yuan Qing very much and even taught him the secret of the Zhang family's sword technique without reservation.
Although Yuan Qing's grandson of the prime minister, he did not have any arrogance and extravagance. He was not as good as an ordinary family. He knew that this was because Yuan Qing was an illegitimate son, and Zhang Xutuo didn't care at all. He cared about Yuan.
Qing has different talents, hard training, and mature mentality, so he is no longer an eight-year-old child at all. Sometimes he even regards Yuan Qing as his friend.
In fact, Zhang Xutuo knew that the southern barbarians were constantly rebelling, and he probably wouldn't return to Beijing this time. He really wanted to part with Yuan Qing. Fortunately, Yuan Qing had passed the introductory period, and the later period was the
In a process of slowly accumulating and improving, whether it can be broken through depends on his own fortune.
Yuan Qing has fully mastered his own practice methods and is strict with self-disciplined, so he does not need to be guided by him. Today he still has some things to explain, and then nothing will happen.
Zhang Xutuo pointed to a small wine shop next to him, "Let's go over there to talk."
They approached the restaurant and turned over and dismounted, and a friend came up, "June, have a drink!"
Zhang Xutuo threw the reins of the war horse to him, "Feed the best weeds and clean water!"
"Okay!" The guy took the reins and went to the backyard.
Zhang Xutuo took Yuan Qing into the small winery and found a secluded seat to sit down. He turned around and instructed the shopkeeper, "Give two pots of wine and cut another five kilograms of mutton sauce!"
Then Zhang Xutuo said to Yuan Qing: "The Yi people in Kunzhou rebelled. The emperor issued an order yesterday to grant General Shi the general manager of the Nanning Prefecture to fight against the Yi people. I also want to follow the army to fight. I will set out tomorrow."
At this time, a friend brought two pots of wine. Yuan Qing gave Zhang Xutuo a full wine and served him a cup. "I wish the master a great power, make great military achievements, and be proud of his wife."
Zhang Xutuo smiled and drank the wine. He took out a large bag of elixirs and a prescription from his arms and handed them to Yuan Qing, "These elixirs can be used for three months, and you will be in three months.
You have to prepare it yourself. I will give you the prescription and tear it off after you finish reading it."
Speaking of this, he stared at Yuan Qing's eyes and said sternly: "You must remember that the elixir formula is a secret that my Zhang family does not pass on. You can only prepare it yourself, and you will never pass it on."
Yuan Qing took the prescription and read it three times, remembered it firmly, then tore it to pieces and soaked it in wine, "I remember it, it will never be spread!"
Zhang Xutuo's face was slightly gentle, and he said to Yuan Qing: "The so-called learning is endless. You must not only persevere, but also learn from others' strengths. Although I am your master, our Zhang family does not advocate the first master when learning martial arts.
From the end, I paid three masters one after another, including my military strategy, which was learned from General Shi Wansui. You should learn more famous teachers and humbly ask for advice in the end, so that you can learn Mahayana.”
Yuan Qing nodded silently, poured Zhang Xutuo a glass of wine, and asked curiously: "Master, I don't know if there is a martial arts ranking in the world? I mean, there are sixteen heroes in the world, are there?"
This is what Yuan Qing always wanted to ask, "There are no sixteen heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the Romance"? Although it is a novel, the novel also comes from unofficial history. Unofficial history will also record some things that are not in official history, such as some strange stories and strange things."
, the official history will not record it. Since he learned martial arts, he always felt that some things in the Romance were not fabricated out of thin air, and there was always something to come from.
Zhang Xutuo held up the wine glass and smiled and said, "There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and fighting for strength and competitiveness is the martial arts worldly xing. He Ruobi competed with Han Qinhu for merit, not only for military merit, but also for the ranking of military generals. Everyone in the world knows
.”
Yuan Qing was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Is there really a ranking!"
"The official ranking, that is, the rankings designated by the emperor, do not exist, but the military has a private statement about the list of ten generals."
"Who will the first hero in the world be?"
Of course, Yuan Qing knew that it was not Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanba was not born yet! It should be an early version, with the opening of the Jiu Lao of Sui.
Zhang Xutuo shook his head and smiled, "If you don't call him a hero, the world's number one general is Gao Jin."
‘Gaoying?’
Yuan Qing was stunned. Isn’t Gao Yan a civil servant? How could he be the first hero? After thinking for a moment, he understood that he was not ranked by force, but by reputation and military talent. There was also a little bit of reputation in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The idea exists, Gao Yang is a versatile civil and military talent, and is also the prime minister, so it is normal for him to rank first.
"What about the second one?"
"The second is your grandfather Yang Su, the third is Yu Wen Shu, the fourth is Han Qinhu, the fifth is He Ruobi, the sixth is Yu Zhongwen, the seventh is Yu Qingze, the eighth is He Lou Zigan, the ninth is He Lou Zigan, the ninth is
It’s Liang Rui, and the tenth is Shi Wansui, which is recognized by the military as the top ten generals.”
Nearly half of Yuan Qing had never heard of it, but what he thought of was Wu Jianzhang, Ding Yanping, Yang Lin, Qiu Rui and others. Where did these Jiu Lao of Sui go?
In fact, he also knew that Romance was not history. For example, Yu Juluo, who was the founding master of Yuwen Chengdu, was not a founding father, but a powerful general with great martial arts skills. Like the backing king Yang Lin, he was simply
Without this person, Yuwen Shu was the father of the No. 1 minister Yu Wenwen, so I don’t know if he has the grandson of Yuwen Chengdu?
He was thinking randomly in his mind, and Zhang Xutuo sighed again and said, "There are talents in the country, Han Qinhu, Liang Rui and others are all dead, everyone else is old, every general in the military hopes that he can do it too.
Can be on the list of ten generals."
"Does the master want to?"
Zhang Xutuo smiled without saying anything, how could he not think about it?
At this moment, there was a thud of thunder drums outside the wine shop, and then a horn sounded, followed by a raft of horse hooves, with people and horses neighing, and it was very lively outside. Everyone in the wine shop looked at each other, wondering what happened?
A guy ran and shouted, "It's Turi Khan from the Turks here!"
The drinkers ran to the door to watch the fun. Zhang Xutuo heard that it was Tuli Khan, and his face changed slightly. He stood up and walked quickly to the window. Yuan Qing also followed and looked out the window.
In the distance, thousands of Sui cavalry guarded a team of hundreds of Turkic knights waiting to enter the city. The Turkic knights held white flags in their hands, and they wore muffled hats and armor.
He was arched and arched on his back, a sword on his waist, and a spear was immediately hung, looking majestic.
Zhang Xutuo whispered to Yuan Qing, "Turkish cavalry only only Khan guards wear armor, while ordinary string control men do not have armor, only leather armor."
He pointed to a Turkic man in his thirties, "Did you see that person? That is Tuli Khan, the nephew of the Turkic Khan Sha Boluo, named Rangan, he is just Turkic Khan.
One of the khans.”
Yuan Qing had extremely sharp eyesight. He saw the Turkic man wearing a big cloak. Seeing him in his early thirties, a big beard with a wide face and a happy face, he couldn't help but frown, "How many khan are there in the Turkic man?"
Zhang Xutuo sneered, "There are so many! After Mugan Khan's death, Sha Boluo succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, but the Western Datou Khan did not admit it, and the Turks were completely divided into East-West Turks, and there were two things to do.
Khan, Dulan and this Tuli, there are actually two Western Turks, one is Datou, and the other is Apo Khan who defected to him. These khans killed each other. Our Sui Dynasty fisherman gained profits, and this Tuli Khan is a powerful force.
The weakest one, I heard that the Lord was going to marry Princess Anyi to him, and he would use the highest etiquette."
Yuan Qing pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Who is the Great Khan from Du Lan or Tuli?"
Zhang Xutuo quickly glanced at Yuan Qing. He didn't believe that Yuan Qing could understand the mystery, so he said, "Du Lan is the son of Sha Boluo, the former Great Khan, who inherited the position of Great Khan."
"Is it obvious that the Supreme General Princess An Yi married Tuli and not the Great Khan to sow conflicts between the two Khans?"
The drinkers around him looked at Yuan Qing in surprise. The little boy could see so thoroughly. Zhang Xutuo nodded in praise, "You are very correct. A war will break out within the Turks soon."
He sighed slightly again, with a look of regret in his eyes, "It seems that my Great Sui army is about to march north too."

(Note: Tuli Khan should have married Princess Anyi in July, and here he was half a year ahead of schedule.)
