Faced with Pei Yue's expectant eyes, Mr. Xi did not immediately pull out some top-notch mental formula. Instead, he changed the subject and asked: "Brother Yue, what you mean by your words is that you want to practice martial arts and then join the army."

Do you want to take this path, make great achievements and win a title?"

Regarding the young man's situation in Dingguo Palace, Mr. Pei also mentioned a few words. Mr. Xi had seen many dark things in the world, and he naturally knew that the truth might be even crueler. He thought that Pei Yue wanted to prove himself, even if he was a person without inheritance rights.

Even a bastard can fight his way up to a high position on his own, so that he can slap someone in the face and let out the evil that has been accumulated in his heart for many years.

Pei Yue was noncommittal and asked: "Sir, do you want to say that practicing martial arts is of no use in the army?"

Mr. Xi smiled and said, "Do you know what your ancestors relied on to become famous back then?"

This made Pei Yue question. He may not know as much as the people in Kyoto about Pei Yuan, the first Duke of Dingguo. Apart from the four words "Dingguo Anbang", what did Pei Yuan do that year?

, how the credit was obtained, he did not know these details.

Mr. Xi said leisurely: "Actually, we have always talked about the ancestors of the country. It sounds full of vicissitudes of life, but it has only been fourteen years since this outstanding man died. What a legacy he and Liangjie Gong left in the military."

Deeply, if your father had been more successful, he would not have had a place in the Xifu Military Academy. When Duke Shi Nian, the ancestor of your family, assisted Emperor Gaozu in his rebellion, his position was not inferior to that of one person, but a more famous general than him.

There are several more. At that time, the world was in chaos. In addition to Daliang, Wu State, and the Zhou Dynasty in the south, there were five or six small and medium-sized vassal forces. In the battle of Longpankou, Emperor Gaozu was trapped

The critical situation was when Shi Nian Gong led more than a hundred dead soldiers to attack the enemy in a melee of more than 100,000 troops, cut off the head of the enemy commander with one knife, rescued Emperor Gaozu, and completely defeated the powerful Ye Ye who occupied the two northern states at that time.

It was successful, and it became famous all over the world from then on."

Pei Yue felt like he was listening to a romance story.

Although he has never seen the brutality of the battlefield with his own eyes, he knows that it is difficult to display personal bravery in the military formation. Otherwise, as Mr. Xi said, what kind of battle would it be to find a few fierce men like Pei Yuan?

Seeing what he was thinking, Mr. Xi shook his head slightly and said: "In the first year, Gong's martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, and he was invincible among all the Daliang armies. Looking at the whole world, it is difficult for anyone to compare with him. However, the actual situation of the battle at Longpankou

But there are some mysteries. If you are interested in it in the future, you can check it out yourself."

Pei Yue couldn't help but rolled his eyes for a moment. This behavior of leaving half of his words was too shameless.

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "It's not a dirty secret. It's just that although the battle ended with Shi Nian Gong's sword, it actually lasted for more than seven months. The details can't be explained for a while, so why not

It would be more appropriate for you to go through the historical data yourself. What I want to tell you is that individual martial prowess is indeed important, but unless you are a once-in-a-thousand-year prodigy like Shi Nian Gong, you will never be able to affect the outcome of a war. At best, it can only be done reluctantly.

It’s just self-preservation.”

Seeing Pei Yue nodding thoughtfully, Mr. Xi continued to teach: "There are many generals in the Daliang Army who are indeed skilled in martial arts, such as Gu Liang who is in charge of the South Camp, or Lu Min who lives in the Youjunji of Xifu.

A master who can kill tigers and leopards with his bare hands, but do you know that the current number one in the Liang Army, that is, the Zuo Junji of Xifu, is just an old man with mediocre martial arts?"

"Ah?" Pei Yue was a little surprised. In his imagination, he could suppress people like Lu Min and Gu Liang. He must be a master seven or eight stories high, right?

Mr. Xi said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Everyone knows that this old man Wang is mediocre in martial arts. Not to mention a weirdo like Gu Liang, even Lu Min can easily beat him dozens of times, so what? Starting from Lu Min downwards

, no matter which general is fierce, who dares to jump in front of old man Wang? Why does he have it? The reason is that he is the only official duke in the country besides the royal family, and the reason is that he has forty years in the army.

The terrifying connections he has accumulated over the years are based on his countless achievements in commanding the army. After the death of Duke Liangjie, he was truly the number one person in the army. Not to mention that he was in good health, even if he was lying dying in bed, there was no one in the army.

These people dare not disobey his orders."

Listening to what this middle-aged man said, Pei Yue felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart and said solemnly: "Thank you sir for your advice."

Mr. Xi waved his hand and continued: "I can't eat free food here every day. I tell you this because I hope you can understand that if you want to take the path of the military, the first is military merit, and the second is to establish your own

Great connections! With military success, you can confidently speak in the emperor's study room, and having strong enough connections will make what you want to do very easy."

Pei Yue said sincerely: "Sir, I have written it down."

Mr. Xi added: "Broken down these two points, they include things you need to learn, such as communication, principles, skills, military formations, military tactics, vision, strategies, etc. Don't think that fighting is just about talking to the soldiers.

A few words, and then you can annihilate the enemy army, and you will die quickly."

"Please sir, accept me as your disciple!"

Speaking of this, Pei Yue still didn't understand why. He had no doubts about the other party's ability, and now he was even more moved by Mr. Xi's painstaking efforts.

However, Mr. Xi shook his head and said: "There is no need to become a disciple. I will not hide anything. How much you can learn in these three years depends on your ability. The title of master and apprentice is of no benefit to you and me. In the future

It might even hinder you."

Without waiting for the confused Pei Yue to ask further, Mr. Xi said sternly: "Although the role of martial arts is limited, your situation is quite special. Leaving the Duke's Mansion may seem to be free, but it also means that you will not be able to enjoy it for the time being.

With the love left by two generations of princes, and your body being thin, you must make great progress in your personal martial arts, because this is related to whether you can gain a foothold in the military in the future."

"Sir, please speak." Pei Yue straightened his back and looked solemn.

"The so-called martial arts, first of all, is personal physical fitness, secondly, the way of fighting, and finally, combat experience. You don't have to think about this matter too mysteriously. No matter how good you are in martial arts, you won't dare to face thousands of arrows on the battlefield.

Fa. Specifically, you can split martial arts into four aspects. The first is the method of luck. This is also the breathing method I will teach you later, which can quickly strengthen the body from the inside out. The second is the method of luck.

It is the tempering of the physical body, including the toughness of the body, the growth of strength, and the sharpness of the five senses. The third is the skills of martial arts, such as the use of hands, feet, knees and elbows, and the proficient use of various weapons. The fourth point is the most important in my opinion

The most important thing is combat experience. Only when you face your opponent directly and fight between life and death can you truly understand the meaning of martial arts."

After Mr. Xi finished speaking, the tea was already at the bottom.

Pei Yue hurriedly helped fill it up, then scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I thought your husband would teach me advanced martial arts such as the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Nine Yin Manual."

Mr. Xi laughed and said: "There are some knights in the wild who like to give similar names, but in fact most of them are just to bluff people. You just need to remember that martial arts is basically a killing technique. When it comes to actually facing the enemy, you must not be soft-hearted.

, we must kill the opponent completely!"

"Otherwise you will be the one who dies."

The middle-aged man's eyes were very serious, and there was a bit of cold murderous intent on his face that usually always smiled gently.

Pei Yue stood up and said seriously: "Sir, don't worry, I cherish my life."

Mr. Xi said approvingly: "This puts me at ease. Please relax a little. I will now teach you how to practice breathing and breathing."

The late spring afternoon sun shines warmly in the atrium, the spring breeze is like scissors, and the sycamore leaves rustle softly.
