At this time, the Taishi Ling of the Han Dynasty was still Sima Tan, Sima Qian's father.
Sima Qian is now traveling around the world, traveling thousands of miles, and is not in Chang'an.
His family had a rich academic background, and he was known as a child prodigy when he was young. He also studied under two well-educated men, Kong Anguo and Dong Zhongshu.
Sima Qian and Bai Yu had been studying together for several years.
So when Bai Yu came to Chang'an, he stayed at Tai Shiling's mansion.
In the study, Sima Tan sat in the main seat, with Bai Yu sitting next to him.
Sima Tansheng has thin eyebrows and long eyes, a broad forehead, a somewhat thin nose and lips, a slightly taller body than ordinary people, and wears brown Hanfu.
Hearing Bai Yu say that the Bingfu Slip was taken away by Huo Qubing, Sima Tan was silent for a long time.
He has been immersed in official circles for many years and is mature and prudent: "This matter needs to be thought about carefully. Huo Qubing has Wei's backing and has the trust of His Majesty."
Bai Yu said: "According to what Taishi Ling sees, what should we do?"
"First send the news back to Master, or you can report it directly to Your Majesty. The thing is supposed to be handed over to Your Majesty, and it is the same for Your Majesty to get it back from Huo Qubing."
Bai Yu sighed. He originally wanted to suppress Huo Qubing's arrogance, but unexpectedly he couldn't steal the chicken and lost the rice.
"You just said that the breath of Bingfu Jian was connected with Huo Qubing's, and his name was left on the Jian?"
"Exactly."
When he mentioned that Huo Qubing left his name on the Bingfu slips, Bai Yu still had a hint of surprise:
"According to Master's wishes, the military strategist who wants to be on the Military Mansion Table must be an unparalleled famous general and a great military strategist.
Huo Qubing has never led troops to fight in a battle, so even if he has some talent, he should never be on the military mansion slip.
It’s so unexpected.”
Sima Tan said solemnly: "You are not in Chang'an, so you don't know who Huo Qubing is."
A look of surprise appeared on Bai Yu's handsome face: "What does Tai Shi Ling mean, is Huo Qubing really qualified to be a famous general?"
"I keep records such as annual records and history. It is also part of my duty to record His Majesty's daily life, so I know some things that others don't know. Huo Qubing was very talented when he was young, so he is valued by Your Majesty. The rest... it is useless to talk about it."
Sima Tan asked: "Is there any way you can contact Master Dong?"
"Yes, there are two methods. One is the technique of flying cranes on grass boats, which can transmit the news to the master in less than a day."
Bai Yu said: "There is another method, which is used for emergencies and can send messages thousands of miles. However, this method is quite precious. If you use it once, you will consume the letter infused by Master."
"You can send a message to Master Dong now and see how he responds?" Sima Tan said decisively.
Bai Yu was hesitant. Dong Zhongshu asked him to do something, but he lost his things and wanted to get them back by himself.
But then I thought about it, Bingfu Jian was personally sacrificed by his master. At this moment, Dong Zhongshu must have known that something had happened, and he could not hide it after all.
Bai Yu took out a bamboo slip that had been infused with breath by Dong Zhongshu himself, and concentrated on writing what happened today on the bamboo slip.
Thousands of miles away, Dong Zhongshu took out the same bamboo slip and looked at the writing on it with narrowed eyes:
"Huo Qubing! He boarded the Bingfu Jian without fighting..."
Dong Zhongshu thought briefly about the matter: "In this case, it can only be that his military talent is exceptionally outstanding...
The military spirit stored in the soldier's slip boiled because of him, and he got the clan's benefits for nothing."
Huo Qubing...
Dong Zhongshu wrote a reply: "You don't have to worry about this anymore. I'll write a handwritten letter for the teacher association and send it to Chang'an."
————
The light in the study is dim.
Huo Qubing was studying the newly emerged supernatural powers, as well as the Bingfu Slips.
"This magical power of military strategy is equivalent to carrying a treasure bag when used on an individual."
By activating the creation of something out of nothing, Huo Qubing's simple piece in the sea of consciousness releases a force that blends with the void and can put items into a 'magical power pocket' within a fixed range.
However, there is currently not much room for it, and it cannot be used as a strategy for moving troops. It can only be used as a military bag to store personal belongings.
Huo Qubing tried it several times, and it was so convenient, it was like a magic trick.
He immediately turned his attention to the Bingfu Slip.
The military slips were unfolded slowly. The names of Sun Wu, the sage of war, Lu Shang, the ancestor of war, and several masters of the art of war, each occupied a slip. There was a faint air of energy, mighty and thick, and there was a feeling of thousands of troops shouting to kill.
People's souls swayed, and the soldiers' fronts fluctuated fiercely.
Huo Qubing sent his consciousness into the soldier's slip, and the power he cultivated was also consistent with the soldier's slip, and it suddenly became strong and powerful like the confluence of streams and rivers.
At the soul level, he seemed to see the lives of Sun Wu, Lu Shang and others flashing through the bamboo slips, and saw their understanding and knowledge of the art of war.
The Bingfu Jian shines brightly and hangs in the air, shining brightly.
To a certain extent, Huo Qubing used the military slips to communicate with the military strategists of the past dynasties. It is equivalent to Dong Zhongshu's more than ten years of hard work, using the military strategist essence extracted from daily transcription to bless him and benefit him from military strategist practice.
It's so big that it's unimaginable.
The long night passed by and came to the next morning.
Huo Qubing let out a breath from his mouth and nose.
The energy was condensed but not dispersed, actually whirling around his body like a sword. After coiling for several weeks, the energy gathered and dispersed, and transformed into an armored tiger, roaring silently beside him.
As Huo Qubing inhaled, the tiger's energy dispersed and was swallowed by him again before disappearing from his mouth and nose.
This night's practice made the military aura in his body seem to be spiritual and as sharp as a tiger.
At this moment, as Huo Qubing was hesitating.
The soaring snake in his consciousness also changed.
The scales on the entire Soaring Snake's body opened and closed, and each Yin Talisman incantation flashed.
From time to time, these mantras would fall off with the scales of the snake, and merge into the acupoints and skin of Huo Qubing's body.
When he breathed out his breath, his body seemed to have an extra layer of Yin Talisman Armor, flickering on and off.
This armor will greatly increase his defense and combat effectiveness.
When it comes to practicing in conjunction with the Bingfu Slips, the biggest changes come from the ancient wells and the slips recording the seven techniques of Yin Fu in this classic.
On the slip recording the real meaning of the Soaring Snake, the Soaring Snake actually came to the edge of the wellhead and made suction and ingestion movements towards the wellhead, as if it wanted to get something from the well.
As the snake sucked, there was an imperceptible breath in the well, which it swallowed.
An oval-shaped mark appeared between Teng She's eyebrows, like a drop of water, or a kind of condensed elixir energy.
At this moment, the elixir energy was still very weak and almost invisible, but due to Teng She's ingestion of the ancient well, it became obvious at an extremely slow speed.
"With the help of Bingfu Jian's breath, it obviously caused the changes in the ancient well in advance. If I practice it myself, I don't know how long it will take."
Huo Qubing thought as he finished his practice, got up and walked out of the room: The power in my body has stabilized the power of the Bing Jiu Realm in a short period of time, and is approaching the barrier of the heaven and human level.
The big cat also lazily jumped down from the beam and went out with Huo Qubing.
"Don't run around. I'll take you out later." Huo Qubing told the big cat.
He walked out of the room. Xiong San heard the noise and brought hot water from a wooden basin.
Xiong San also has another task, which is to supervise the big cat's washing.
The big cat also has a small wooden basin with clear well water in it.
Xiong San wrapped the big cat's paws with a piece of coarse cloth and let him wipe his face.
The big cat looked like he had been wronged, and was obviously unhappy. He wiped his face with a coarse cloth wrapped in his paws, and then reluctantly opened his mouth. Xiong San used a small brush made of horsehair and dipped it in fine salt.
, help the big cat clean its teeth.
One doesn't want to serve, the other doesn't want to be served. It's normal for one person and one cat to get into trouble early in the morning.
"Liu Xiang said that he will come to see the young master today for fun."
Xiong San always called Liu Xiang, the son of the King of Zhongshan, by his first name, and Liu Xiang didn't feel dissatisfied. He was whipped once by Xiong San in front of him when he was a child. The shadow of his childhood was deep, and he always hugged Huo Qubing's maidservant and couldn't offend him.
attitude.
"What time did they leave last night?"
"At the beginning of Haishi."
Huo Qubing and Da Mao had eaten and were about to leave the house, but they met Zhuo Huai's carriage outside the house: "Huo Shizhong."
Huo Qubing followed the sound and asked, "You have been waiting outside the house all night?"
Zhuo Huai smiled awkwardly, offending Liu Qian was a matter of life and death for him, and there was no room for carelessness.
"I have already made arrangements for your affairs. You just need to pay attention to the properties under Zhuo's jurisdiction and tell me in time if there are any changes."
Huo Qubing confessed and took the big cat into the palace again.
Today my uncle is leaving Chang'an to prepare his troops and horses, and even Liu Che has to leave the palace to see off his troops in person.
