A group of cavalry rushed towards a majestic palace like a strong wind. The leading general was wearing a black mountain armor, and the sergeants behind the general were also wearing black chain mail, with a chilling air. These sergeants were all elites.
The elite among them.
The lantern hanging at the entrance of the courtyard has the word "Du" written on it. This is the residence of Du Changgeng, the commander of the Chiyang Guard.
"The general is back!" The guard at the door of Du Mansion shouted quickly and rushed over. The whole Du Mansion immediately started to move.
The general jumped down from his horse. This person is the owner of this mansion, Du Changgeng, the commander of the Chiyang Guards of Sichuan Prefecture.
The guards at the gate of Du Mansion immediately came over, some came to lead the horses, and some came to help the general take off the heavy armor. The sergeants also dismounted, making a clanking sound as the armor touched each other.
Everyone in the Du family came to the front yard to welcome Du Changgeng's triumphant return, but Du Changgeng looked into the crowd and asked somewhat sullenly: "Where is the third child?"
Du Changgeng's third son is called Du Xuan. Du Changgeng asked about him as soon as he came back, not because Du Xuan was the one he valued most, but because Du Xuan was the one who disappointed him the most.
A famous general in the State of Qi naturally hopes that his sons will inherit his father's legacy. Du Changgeng has three sons. The eldest son and the second son are both better than others. They have already made numerous military exploits at a young age. Starting from ordinary armored soldiers,
Through military exploits, one can reach hundreds of households in the army.
Du Changgeng's wife, Luo Xifeng, looked gloomy and replied hesitantly: "The third son was here just now, but now I don't know where he has gone."
Everyone in the Du family lowered their heads, no one dared to make any noise for fear of being punished. These are the master's affairs and have nothing to do with servants like them.
"This traitor! He must have gone to look for his gangsters again." Du Changgeng said angrily.
"Sir, please be careful, the third son's friends can be regarded as literati." Luo Xifeng said quickly.
"What kind of elegant people? They all know how to dance with words and whitewash the scales, but they don't know that now the great edifice of the Qi Kingdom is about to collapse, and under the overthrow of the nest, there will be no eggs left intact! But the court still emphasizes literature over military affairs. If this continues, if the barbarians come again, Da Qi will really
It's in danger!" Du Changgeng stared angrily.
Da Qi is surrounded by foreign races, and the barbarians in the west are particularly dangerous. In the history of Da Qi, the blood feud with the barbarians is the most unforgettable. The Du family has been the generals of Da Qi for generations, and the mission of the Du family children is to protect the country with their own flesh and blood.
The frontier of Qi State.
The tiger father has no son, and the Du family has always been a hero. Du Changgeng was born here, but he gave birth to a weak son. Du Xuan, the third son of the Du family, was born with a weak body and liked literature but not martial arts. This made Du Changgeng think that
shame.
"Master, go take a bath first. I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare. Du An, go to the kitchen and have a look and ask them to move quickly. The master and his sons have been in trouble all the way and haven't had hot meals or dishes for a long time." Luo Xifeng hurriedly said.
commanded.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing aside quickly stood up, bowed to Du Changgeng and his wife, and then quickly retreated.
In Chiyang Academy in Chiyang Town, several young talents are studying classics.
"Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness. Only when righteousness is fulfilled, is it the most benevolent. The barbarians are eyeing us at the border of Daqi. Young people like us can't die on the battlefield and be loyal to the country, so what's the use of studying?" A handsome young man said loudly.
This young man looks somewhat similar to Du Changgeng. He is Du Xuan, the third son of Du Changgeng.
"Brother Du, this is wrong. There are many kinds of loyalty to the country. Death in battle is one kind, and fighting in a decisive battle thousands of miles away while strategizing is also another kind. Death in battle is what those warriors and reckless men do. We, literati,
I should be the strategist. Besides, people like me who study are not people who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Once you become a great scholar, your awe-inspiring righteousness can kill sorcerers and demons. One person can defeat an army." A young man next to Du Xuan said.
He is a classmate of Du Xuan, his name is Yan Jianbing.
Du Xuan was about to argue with Yan Jianbing when he saw Du Feng, a member of the Du family, running over: "Master, master, go back quickly! The master is back, and I asked about you just now."
When Du Xuan heard that his father was back, he couldn't help shrinking his neck. He was afraid that when he returned, he would be scolded by his father again.
"Du Feng, my father has returned from the front line. Do you know how the battle is going on the front line?" Du Xuan asked.
"The fact that the master has come down from the front line must have calmed down the war. However, the Du family's army suffered a lot of losses. The barbarians have been invading recently, and the sons of the Du family have suffered losses in every battle. The master is not in a good mood. I'll wait for you.
Be careful." Du Feng shook his head.
Although the barbarians have always been the mortal enemies of Daqi, they have always been in a state of confrontation with Daqi. They will only invade Daqi in autumn and winter when food is scarce. But this year, for some reason, summer has just arrived, and the barbarians have begun to invade Daqi frequently.
To the west, the Du family's army bore the brunt, and naturally there would be a large number of casualties. The barbarians were savage and ferocious, extremely tall, and were especially good at physical training and enslaving barbarian beasts. When it came to individual force, the barbarian soldiers were obviously better than the Daqi soldiers. However,
The Daqi generals were good at fighting formations. With the help of fighting formations, the Daqi army was able to compete with the barbarians.
The war situation was dangerous and the Du family's army suffered heavy losses. Du Changgeng's mood was naturally not much better. Du Xuan knew that he would become his father's punching bag when he returned, but he had no way to escape and could only bite the bullet and follow Du Feng home.
As soon as Du Xuan entered the door, he saw Du Changgeng standing in the lobby with a solemn expression. As soon as Du Xuan entered the door, he saw his mother waving to him and letting him sneak away. Du Xuan was about to tiptoe towards his mother.
But he didn't expect that he would be stared at by Du Changgeng as soon as he entered.
"Stop! Shuzi! Where did you go to be happy today? All the disciples of the Du family are throwing their heads and blood on the battlefield, and you are the only one who is eking out an ignoble existence." Du Changgeng shouted angrily.
"Thank you, father! Although I haven't been able to go to the battlefield, I have been studying the art of war. When I master the art of war, I will definitely make suggestions and strategize for my Du family army." Du Xuan could only speak in accordance with Du Changgeng's temper.
"Bai Wuyi is a scholar. Isn't it enough to harm my disciples of the Du family by talking about war on paper? From today on, you will practice the Du family's martial arts for me at home! After a month, follow me to the battlefield to kill the enemy. My Du family
My son, any good-for-nothing who is not hiding behind the scenes will die on the battlefield!" Du Changgeng said angrily.
"Du Changgeng! How dare you!" Luo Xifeng, Du Xuan's mother, rushed out fiercely.
"Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their sons. This time, I have made up my mind! Do you know how many good men from our Du family army died in the battle at Luofu Mountain? Other men can die, but my Du Changgeng's son cannot die?" Du
Chang Geng was really angry this time.
Luo Xifeng was about to scold Du Changgeng, but when she saw Du Changgeng's sad eyes, she stopped and pulled Du Xuan aside: "San'er, mother can't protect you this time. Your father said so
If I ask you to go to the battlefield in one month, I will definitely take you to the battlefield. During this time, you should practice your martial arts. Mother does not want you to perform on the battlefield, but I only hope that you can come back alive."
It's not that Du Xuan doesn't want to practice martial arts, it's just that he can't practice. He was born with a weak body. If he exercises even slightly, he will sweat profusely, tingle all over his body, and often bruise his skin and flesh, and even break his muscles and bones. It is precisely because of this that Du Changgeng became the
He didn't insist on letting Du Xuan practice martial arts. However, the situation is different now. The front line is critical and the Du family's army has suffered serious losses. It is necessary to organize a new army. His son is going to the battlefield, how can the Du family's son hide in the rear and be at ease?
Early the next morning, Du Xuan was dragged out of bed by Du Changgeng. It was a sign that Du Changgeng was serious about his actions.
"This is my Du family's body training method. It is one of the five parts of Du family's martial arts and the most basic part of Du family's martial arts." Du Changgeng threw a book in front of Du Xuan.
The Du family's martial arts is divided into five parts: physical training, boxing, weapon combat skills, secret techniques, and exercises. The Du family's physical training is the foundation of the foundation. There is no secret in this part. The Du family's army is based on the Du family's physical training.
Training new recruits. Du Xuan's foundation is almost zero, so it is inevitable to train them in this way.
The Du family's physical training can be divided into pile steps and walking steps. The pile steps are "quiet", which is the static fist posture in practice. There are five basic postures: big posture, follow-up posture, stubborn posture, small posture, and defeated posture, collectively called
Five postures of pile steps. It is an important method to practice the strength and energy of the whole body. During the drill, the five postures of pile steps are practiced symmetrically on the left and right, just like a double-petal plum blossom in full bloom. The changes of the five postures are endless and all-encompassing, and they are various boxing postures.
The mother of punches can be transformed into various boxing postures.
Walking steps are "movements", which are the various movements and steps that change and move during the practice. The three steps of walking steps are the basis, namely the swinging method, the binding method, and the withdrawing method. The swinging method is the first of the non-walking methods, and the sudden left
Suddenly right, suddenly advancing and retreating, up and down, the wonderful thing is the walking step, which is mostly used to deal with the enemy and harass the enemy. The zhao method seeks the speed of attack and is used to rush and pursue the enemy. The withdrawal method includes withdrawal
It is so fast that it is not only used to get rid of the enemy, but also to hide ambushes and offensive steps. It can walk like the wind, stand like a nail, look up to be high, bend down to be deep, advance to be long, and retreat to be fast.
Follow the east to the west, sound from the left to the right, making the enemy feel as if they have fallen into a five-mile fog and cannot discern their direction.
When practicing racking, each posture and movement should achieve the "five extremes", that is, upright, smooth, round, full, and enough. Right means correct posture, smooth means smooth strength, round means flexible changes, and full means full of energy.
, enough means that the location and size should be enough. Strive to unify essence, energy, and spirit to achieve the state of "powerful energy and strong momentum".
Du Xuan stood on the pile for less than half an hour, and he was already sweating profusely, and his legs were shaking constantly. Du Changgeng took a look, and when he saw Du Xuan behaving like this, he opened his eyes and blew his breath in anger.
Got a beard.
Du Xuan originally wanted to hold on for a while, but who knew that after only holding on for a while, his body tilted and he fell to the ground completely out of control. Fortunately, a figure rushed up to hold Du Xuan up.
"Thank you." Du Xuan said softly and casually. He looked up and saw that the person supporting him was his second brother Du Yi. He immediately shouted in surprise: "Second brother! Are you back?"
Du Yi helped Du Xuan to the side and sat down: "Lao San, your body is really too weak. Don't blame your father. This battle at Luofu Mountain was too tragic. Although our Du family army won,
It was a disastrous victory. It failed to completely destroy the barbarian army. Once the barbarian army has rested and recuperated, I am afraid that they will attack our great Qi again."
