Xieyang City is already noisy in the morning, and the wind and snow cannot stop the pace of life.
A group of thousands of soldiers marched quickly, and pedestrians gave way. They passed through the city without knowing where they were going. Maybe there was another war breaking out somewhere.
In the cold winter, there were no major battles, but small-scale wars never stopped. Thousands of troops were dispatched, which can be called small-scale battles.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yun Jing continued walking on the street.
Entertainment in this era was very scarce, and this place was the location of the main battlefield, so the topics people talked about were almost all related to war. Things like romance seemed to have faded out of people's lives in this place.
The taverns and teahouses on the street are already busy. Scholars and people who are interested in the world gather together to talk about the current situation.
Some people talked and heard that enemy traitors were causing trouble in a certain place. When they got angry, they immediately left with their swords in hand, intending to splash the blood of the traitors in five steps. They would not come back until they achieved their goal.
There are many such hot-blooded men. After walking more than a thousand meters on the street, Yunjing witnessed several similar incidents.
Whenever a strong man goes out, everyone will follow him. Some who feel that they are not capable enough will also get up to see him off, give him a bowl of strong wine, and wait for the strong man to return victorious.
Scholars and people in the world are two different circles, and they are relatively distinct. Scholars mostly gather in places like teahouses, while people in the world prefer to stay in restaurants.
"I heard that Mr. Zeng Qing showed up at Deyilou. He has a great reputation and has personally participated in many wars. This time I want to share his combat experience and discuss strategies against the enemy with all the scholars. Please leave quickly. If you are late, you will not have a place."
"Let's go together. I also heard that Mr. Zeng Qing showed up. I didn't even bother to eat breakfast and came here..."
Two scholars hurried past not far from Yunjing, their faces beaming with joy. From their tone, it was obvious that they were the 'fans' named Zeng Qing, who were eager to meet their 'idol'.
Noticing them, Yunjing had a heartfelt smile on his face.
This is very good. We should be fans of those good men who go into battle to kill the enemy. Sissy actors and the like will only harm the country...
"Deyilou?" He murmured in his mouth. After thinking for a while, Yunjing strode forward towards Deyilou. Firstly, he wanted to get acquainted with other scholars. Secondly, he also wanted to hear about the former scholar.
Qing’s high opinion.
However, not long after walking, Yun Jing turned into the Yamen. He had to register his willingness to participate in the war. Although the chance of participating in the war was very slim, what if he was proactively found?
War is not a child's play, and it is not something you can participate in if you want to. Once you participate, you are a soldier, who must protect your home and country, and civilians are protected by the military. Participating in the war rashly will only cause chaos.
After registering, Yunjing arrived at Deyi Building not long after.
He arrived a little late, and Deyilou was already full of guests, but it still couldn't stop the scholars who came after hearing the news from flocking here.
The Deyi Building was only that big, and it couldn't accommodate the steady stream of scholars coming in. The teahouse had to use kind words to persuade the people behind to disperse.
Some people left disappointed, some were unwilling to leave, and some had similar interests and decided to find other places to gather and discuss each other.
It can be seen from this that this country maintains a positive attitude towards war. Even if it is the three northern countries, Dali men are not afraid of it. If someone falls in front, there will be more people behind to stand up!
Standing on the street, Yunjing couldn't get in, and he didn't intend to force his way in unreasonably.
He looked up at the third floor of Deyi Building, where a man named Zeng Qing was sharing with everyone his experience in participating in the war, how to allocate troops, how to coordinate, and what kind of fighting method can reduce casualties and win...
Although the war he participated in was only a small-scale encounter, he spoke seriously, and the people below also listened carefully, and many of them were taking notes quickly.
For those who have never participated in a war, these are valuable experiences that may be useful at some point.
Scholars are almost all "all-rounders". Of course they have learned the art of war, but it is one thing to have learned it. It is another thing to actually participate in the war. What you learn on paper will always be shallow. If you don't really experience it, you will never know it.
I can only stay in books.
Besides, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can it be explained clearly in the book?
"I still don't understand a lot of things. As for leading troops in combat, I'm not even a layman. It's a joke to really think that I can lead troops to sweep across the battlefield with the 'combat experience' and tactics I know. Although
I experienced a lot of fighting in Sitong Town, but there is no experience at all. It is just the courage of an ordinary man. Indeed, I can reverse the war situation at that time, but in the face of a large-scale war, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, thousands of troops
Thousands of horses, and the battle front covers dozens or hundreds of miles, can I still do it alone?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Yunjing looked at himself and knew that he still had a lot to learn. Whether he would be able to use it in the future was one thing, but he needed to understand it.
Then he couldn't help but wonder, Mr. Wolong is so awesome, did he really just learn it from books?
"I'm afraid that before he really came out of the mountain, he must have gone to practice and study. Otherwise, where did his reputation come from? So where did he practice and study before he came out of the mountain? I'm afraid only he knows."
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Yun Jing himself couldn't help but feel speechless. For the same thing, his focus seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Take Mr. Wolong as an example, others only focused on things after he became awesome, but Yun Jing
What Jing focuses on is what happened before he became awesome...
Thinking of these messy things, Yunjing was about to leave and find another circle of scholars to join, but his keen senses felt that someone was looking at him.
Not peeping, but blatantly observing.
Looking based on his feelings, Yunjing was stunned for a moment, saw an acquaintance, and then smiled.
The 'lifelong enemy' from back then actually appeared here, sizing him up not far away, obviously hesitating, and the other party was obviously not sure whether Yunjing was someone he knew.
Yunjing stepped over, immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, long time no see."
That person was Lin Yexing, Yunjing's classmate in Niujiao Town. He was two years older than Yunjing and others and had to graduate two years first.
After not seeing him for several years, he has changed a lot. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he is in his prime.
Lin Yexing, who is in his early 18's with sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows, has obviously gone through a lot. His eyes have matured a lot and he stands out among the crowd. It is not an exaggeration to praise him as a handsome young man.
However, when Yunjing stood with him, he seemed a little eclipsed...
"Brother Yun, it's really you. I thought I saw it wrong. I looked at it for a while and I wasn't sure." Lin Yexing said in surprise, his tone seemed a little excited.
Although Lin Yexing had always regarded Yunjing as his "lifelong enemy", he had been a classmate who had been together day and night for many years, but meeting an old friend in a foreign country was one of the four great joys in life, so how could he not be excited.
Smiling, Yunjing said cheerfully: "It's not just me. I didn't expect to meet Brother Lin here. What an unexpected surprise."
"Haha, I can't express my excitement to meet Brother Yun here. Let's go, Brother Yun, let's find a place to sit down and celebrate," Lin Yexing said happily.
Nodding, Yunjing said: "That's how it should be."
Meeting classmates and friends who grew up together in a strange place is no different from meeting family members.
"I know a good place. Brother Yun, come with me." Lin Yexing led the way.
As he walked on the road, he couldn't help but sigh: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Brother Yun has changed so much. Just now I was not sure enough to come up and talk to him."
"Brother Lin, you have changed a lot, but I still recognize you at a glance."
"That's my fault. I'll punish myself with three drinks later..."
As they talked, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the carefree days of the past, but in fact they both knew that they had grown up and could never go back to the past.
In a tavern, Yun Jing and the two found a remote corner to sit down, ordered some food and drinks, and chatted while eating and drinking.
"Brother Yun, why are you here?" Lin Yexing asked curiously.
Yunjing said: "At the beginning of summer, I had already graduated from the school in the town. Then I left home to study and came all the way here. I just arrived two days ago. What about you, Brother Lin? When did you come here?"
"Brother Yun has already graduated. Time flies so fast," Lin Yexing sighed, and then said, "I've been here for more than half a year. After I left Niujiao Town, I went back to study hard. Huangtian
It paid off. At the end of spring last year, I finally got the title of scholar, and then I continued to study hard at home for a year. At the beginning of the year, I was very restful and restless, so I went out to study, and I came to Xieyang City half a year ago."
Lin Yexing felt a little depressed when he said this.
He once regarded Yunjing as his 'lifelong enemy', and wanted to defeat Yunjing at every turn, but he never won once. He obviously had better resources, was older than Yunjing, and worked harder than Yunjing, but he ended up being defeated.
Yunjing was so overwhelmed that he almost became his inner demon.
What was particularly depressing was that he, who wanted to win so much, was left behind by Yun Jing in the imperial examinations. He was admitted as a scholar after graduating from the town and looking for guidance from famous teachers.
When he thought that Yun Jing had easily passed the examination as a scholar, he couldn't be happy at all about the fame he had achieved.
After hearing his words, Yun Jing said dumbly: "Brother Lin has been here for so long."
With his heart moving, Lin Yexing smiled and said without leaving a trace: "It's been half a year since I came here. In these six months, I have made a lot of friends here, and I was also lucky enough to join the army with others to fight in a bloody battle.
Where is the enemy?”
After a pause, he raised a finger and said: "I personally killed ten enemy traitors. Whenever I think of that encounter, I feel frightened. I almost died on the battlefield. Fortunately, I survived in the end. I want to
It’s really sad to think about it. It would be great if I had the opportunity to go to the battlefield again. After that experience, I will definitely perform better than last time.”
After all, Lin Yexing still regarded Yunjing as his 'lifelong enemy'. He was showing off by saying this. He just said clearly that Brother Yun, I have been on the battlefield and killed ten enemy soldiers. How about this?
Is this an experience you have never had before?
After saying those words, Lin Yexing felt so happy. He finally surpassed Yun Jing in this aspect, just like eating iced cold potatoes in the dog days of summer.
Yun Jing said with admiration: "Brother Lin has already had the experience of going into battle to kill the enemy. He must have learned a lot, right? I can't. Not long ago, I encountered an enemy army in Sitong Town. More than three hundred
As for the elite cavalry, after a fight, although I killed the enemy leader and hacked to death more than a hundred enemy soldiers, it was just the courage of an ordinary man, and my intelligence, skills and strategies were of no use at all. Compared with Brother Lin's experience, it was not worth it.
Mention"
Lin Yexing, who still had a smile on his face, stiffened and suddenly no longer wanted to talk to Yun Jing, and the excitement of meeting an old friend in a foreign country disappeared.
Why do you hit people so hard? Why do you want to hit people so much?
I tried my best to sneak into the army and narrowly escaped death by killing ten enemy soldiers, almost losing my life. However, you killed more than a hundred enemy elite cavalry along the way, and also killed the enemy leader...
See, is what you said still human?
For some reason, Lin Yexing suddenly felt that he might have to live in the shadow of Yunjing again.
