"Messenger Cao, this is a place where business travelers and poor servants who have no money to go to listen to books come."
Li Yi followed Cao San and was responsible for sending him back to Hanzhong.
Seeing that Cao San looked a little hesitant, he smiled and explained, "The Three Books on the Condor Shooting mentioned here have been misinterpreted by many people and have lost their original meaning."
"If Messenger Cao really likes these three books, he can go to a storyteller place in Jicheng City. The storytellers there come from Nanxiang, and their stories are truly authentic."
"When you get to Hanzhong, you can visit Nanxiang. That's where Feng Junhou really started."
After hearing Li Yi's words, Cao San couldn't help but asked with some doubts:
"What is "Three Books on the Condor Shooting"?"
Li Yi took Cao San out of Wa City and said as they walked:
"At least half of the things mentioned and played in this place are related to the three books."
"The first part is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and it tells the story of the knight-errants Guo Jing and Huang Rong from the 10th to the 35th year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty."
"The second part is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and it mainly talks about the affairs of Guo Jing's nephew Yang Guo after the Battle of Changping."
"The third part is called "Zidian Qingshuang Ji". It tells the story of the knight-errant Zhang Wuji who obtained the "Wu'an Lord's Art of War" left by Guo Jing, led the world's knights, and helped Emperor Gaozu bring peace to the world."
Cao San originally heard that these three books were all about knight-errants, and he was disdainful.
Unexpectedly, "Wu'an Jun's Art of War" appeared at the end. At that moment, his face changed drastically and he blurted out:
""Wu Anjun's Art of War"? That's not Feng Langjun..."
At this point, he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
As soon as the words "Feng Langjun" were spoken, Li Yi turned around and looked at him warily:
"Why did Ambassador Cao say this?"
Cao Sanqing realized that he had made a mistake and said a little sarcastically:
"There is a legend in Guanzhong that Feng Langjun has good military training. Since he led the army, he has won every battle. It is because he learned the "Wu'an Jun Art of War" left by the former Huaiyin Marquis..."
Hearing this, Li Yi's expression became strange.
This rumor probably first spread from Hanzhong, and now it is spread all over the streets in Hanzhong.
To be more specific, the most likely one is Nanxiang in Hanzhong.
Because when we talk about Nanxiang, we must mention our brother.
Over the years, my brother has made great achievements in battle, and I don't know who spread the word that he has learned "Wu'an Jun's Art of War".
Since the Battle of Longyou, there have actually been rumors of this kind in Nanxiang.
As soon as the news of the Battle of Xiaoguan spread, such rumors reached their peak.
Now let alone the common people of Hanzhong, even within the Xinghan Association, many people are muttering:
This thing...can't be true, right?
After all, the Marquis of Huaiyin also paid homage to Li Zuoche, the grandson of Lord Wu An, as a disciple. He might have actually read "The Art of War of Lord Wu An".
Otherwise, why did Your Majesty go to Hanzhong to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu's hometown before and after the Battle of Xiaoguan, and why has he not returned to Jincheng yet?
Doesn’t this mean that he wants to imitate what Emperor Gaozu did back then?
Even to Li Yi, this matter seemed a bit mysterious.
Doesn’t he still understand what kind of person Zhao Erlang is?
Of course he has martial arts skills.
But really speaking of his own ability, at his current age, he would have a bright future if he could become a general in the army.
As for the so-called hero who lived up to his reputation, how about three thousand cavalry charging into a hundred thousand enemy formation, what kind of ghost general became famous in Guanzhong...
Without the support of my brother, it would be just a dream!
Every time Li Yi thought about this, if he said in his heart that he didn't regret it, it would be a lie.
I was one step too late for Zhao Erlang back then!
Just a little bit different.
Naturally, Cao San didn't know the real reason why Li Yi's face turned ugly when he heard this.
He took it as his own words and immediately apologized:
"I made a mistake, please don't blame me, Mr. Li."
Li Yi woke up from deep thought and shook his head:
"It doesn't matter, this rumor is from Hanzhong, and there are many people talking about it."
Speaking of this, he even smiled and said:
"To be honest, Messenger Cao, let alone others, even though I call Junhou my brother in private, I actually have doubts about it in my heart... Haha!"
Cao San breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing:
"Since Li Langjun has a close personal relationship with Feng Langjun, why don't you ask clearly?"
Li Yi waved his hand:
"Messenger Cao, despite your young age, you are actually very majestic. Moreover, these matters are the secrets of your master's family. How can you ask questions easily?"
When Cao San heard this, his heart skipped a beat:
"Li Langjun is saying... is it really possible that the Lord has learned "Wu Anjun's Art of War"? No, does Wu Anjun really leave behind a secret art of war?"
Li Yi laughed:
"How dare I talk nonsense about the affairs of the king? But I can talk about this latter matter."
"Li Langjun, please speak."
"I don't know whether Junhou has learned "Wu'an Jun's Art of War", but it is very likely that Wu An Jun left behind the art of war."
When Cao San heard this, his heart was greatly shaken, and he blurted out:
"How can Li Langjun be so sure?"
"If Messenger Cao watches the three parts of The Condor Shooting Series, I'm afraid he will have the same idea as me."
The more Li Yi said this, the more curious Cao San became.
Seeing him like this, Li Yi didn't hide it.
He was taken to a restaurant in Jicheng, asked for a private room, and briefly told him the contents of the Three Books of the Condor Shooting.
The Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he destroyed Yiqu, consolidated Shu, attacked Wei, defeated Han, conquered Chu, defeated Zhao, and destroyed Zhou.
He repeatedly defeated all the countries and annexed many lands of the four countries.
Even the emperor of Zhou, the nominal leader of the world, perished at the hands of the Qin people.
Not only were the commanders of the coalition forces of various countries captured, but the Chu State was also defeated by the Qin army.
The most famous one in history is the Battle of Changping.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin State marched from east to west and killed nearly a million young men and women from various countries.
According to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", King Qin Zhaoxiang was able to achieve this achievement because of Guo Jing's great efforts.
Hearing such secrets, Cao Sanda was shocked: "Why is this person not recorded in history?"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Qin Shihuang collected all the books in the world and burned them. Only the solitary copy was left in Xianyang. Finally, Xiang Yu burned it."
"How can there be so much left of the hundreds of schools of thought by the scholars of the pre-Qin Dynasty?"
When Cao San heard this, he immediately sighed and asked again: "What happened next?"
"Later, Guo Jing gradually discovered that the Qin people were killing too much, and repeatedly tried to persuade King Qin Zhaoxiang, but the King of Qin did not listen. Instead, he began to harbor grudges, and the two eventually became estranged."
"Especially after the Battle of Changping, when the Qin people killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, Guo Jing finally ran away in anger and returned to Zhao with Huang Rong."
Li Yi continued to explain, "Not long after, the Battle of Handan between Qin and Zhao broke out. Guo Jing and Huang Rong joined hands to help Zhao defend the city. Qin Jiu was unable to attack Handan, and ended up with nearly 200,000 casualties."
"Because Guo Jing had learned the art of war from Bai Qi, and Bai Qi was unwilling to go to Handan to lead the army, the King of Qin was furious and wanted to kill Bai Qi."
"In fact, Huang Rong had already guessed what the King of Qin was thinking, and asked Guo Jingti to go to the Qin State in order to rescue Bai Qi. Bai Qi only said that he had killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and deserved death."
"In the end, I gave Guo Jing a book on the art of war and asked him to take it away, but he committed suicide."
Cao San blurted out and asked: "Is that the "Wu'an Jun's Art of War"?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right."
Cao San let out a long breath.
He naturally knew about the Battle of Handan, but there was a hidden secret in it, which really surprised him.
The first book was already so attractive, Cao San couldn’t wait to ask:
"Then what is the second book about?"
"This is what happened more than 20 years later, when the Qin State wanted to destroy the Zhao State. After the Qin people were defeated in Handan, they did not dare to launch a large-scale military campaign for more than ten years."
"Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to the border fortress to live in seclusion and met Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen."
Cao San was shocked: "Another Lord Wu An?!"
"Yes, Guo Jing saw that Li Mu was a good general and had the people in mind, so he gave him "Wu'an Jun's Art of War"."
"Although "Wu'an Jun's Art of War" was written by Bai Qi, Li Mu not only annotated it later, but also expanded the content of the art of war, so this book is actually co-authored by two people."
Cao San swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt that such historical secrets were really addictive.
"Later, the Qin State sent troops twice to destroy the Zhao State, but they were both defeated by Li Mu. The Qin people were afraid of him, and finally resorted to counterinsurgency tactics, causing Li Mu to be killed unjustly."
"Guo Jing and Huang Rong both died in battle in grief and anger, leaving only one sword and one sword, called Zidian Qingshuang, containing "Wu'an Jun's Art of War"."
"What happened next? What happened next?"
Cao San asked repeatedly.
"Later, one sword after another, he wandered around the world until the Chu-Han conflict four hundred years ago..."
After a long talk, Li Yizao's mouth became dry. He picked up the tea cup and took a big sip.
And Cao San was already obsessed with hearing this.
His thoughts were swirling, and he always felt that an idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't think of it for the moment.
This made him so anxious that he was sweating a little, and he couldn't help but read what Li Yi said over and over again.
After a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's it!"
Cao San made a sudden sound, which startled Li Yi.
"Why did Messenger Cao do this?"
"Feng Langjun must have studied "Wu Anjun's Art of War". Even if he has not, he is closely related to that art of war!"
Cao San's face flushed with excitement, he looked at Li Yi and said with burning eyes.
"Why is Messenger Cao so sure?"
"I remember that Feng Langjun had an article called "Xia Ke Xing", is that correct?"
"That's right."
"Xia Ke Xing" is still engraved in a guest house in Nanxiang.
The calligraphy is made of iron and silver hooks, and is carved into the stone. It is said that it is the handwriting of Feng Junhou.
Anyone who visits Nanxiang for the first time will be shocked by its fierce aura.
The first half of this is true.
The second half is also true.
Li Yi reserved his opinion on the middle section.
Since Cao San came to deliver a message to Feng Langjun on behalf of King Chen, he must have done his homework.
He stood up, walked back and forth, and began to read: "Zhao Keman and Hu Ying... I was leisurely passing by Xinling to drink... I was going to eat Zhu Hai, holding a glass to persuade Hou Ying..."
After reading the complete poem, Cao San stopped in front of Li Yi, stared at him and said:
"Li Langjun, have you ever heard what is hidden in this article?"
Li Yi shook his head in confusion.
He had already memorized this poem by heart.
Poetry is good poetry.
And he also knew that his brother had personally admitted that this was a poem written for those knight-errants.
Is there anything else hidden in this?
I saw Cao San shaking his head and saying:
"Zhao Ke, Xinling, Zhu Hai, Hou Ying, Li Langjun, have you ever thought about when these people happened?"
Hearing this, Li Yi was shocked, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his heart, causing him to stand up suddenly and couldn't help but say: "Fuck you!"
Before Cao San could ask what "fuck" meant, he looked straight at Cao San and said, "The Battle of Handan?"
"That's right!" Cao San shouted, high-fiving.
Xinling refers to Lord Xinling.
During the Battle of Handan, Lord Xinling stole the Tiger Talisman and led the Wei army to rescue Zhao.
Zhu Hai was a brave man. He killed Jin Bi, the commander of the Wei army who refused to advance, and helped Lord Xinling gain military power.
Hou Ying was the one who gave advice to Lord Xinling. At the same time, he committed suicide in order to repay Lord Xinling's kindness.
For a long time, Li Yi felt that the so-called Zhao guests were naturally the knights of Zhao, represented by Zhu Haihou Ying.
But now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid it refers more to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Because of the following sentence: "When the matter is over, take off your clothes and hide your body and name"!
After all, neither Hou Ying, who committed suicide, nor Zhu Hai, who stayed in Zhao State with Lord Xinling, "went away after the matter and hid his body and name."
But Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who went to live in seclusion at the frontier fortress, are the most appropriate words.
Li Yi felt that he had finally solved a long-standing question, and his heart was beating loudly. He held on to the table a little unsteadily to prevent him from falling down.
Cao San approached Li Yi, his voice trembling slightly because he was too excited:
"Li Langjun, Feng Langjun vaguely named Guo Jing and Huang Rong in this heroic article, probably because he knew that they were not fictitious people."
"Otherwise, if you think about it, those knight-errants have always been despised and disliked by the world. Who would write poems specifically for them?"
If Feng Langjun wasn't related to "Wu Anjun's Art of War", why would he specifically write about those two people?
The more Cao San thought about it, the more it made sense.
It's just that this kind of thing must be a big secret, not to mention I don't know if he will have a chance to see Feng Langjun in the future.
Even if there is a chance, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to ask the real truth about this matter.
Li Yi was swallowing hard.
The reason why his reaction was so big was because he almost believed in his heart that Cao San's conjecture was true.
Because he knows a lot more than Cao San.
For example, the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the Mo Dao unique to Brother’s Army, is the Purple Electric Dao that is popular in the world...
Cao San pointed out the hidden meaning of "Xia Ke Xing", the two of them stared at each other, and neither of them said anything.
For a moment, the private room actually became quiet.
In this weird silence, a loud voice from next door suddenly said:
"Have you heard? There is something new happening in Liangzhou."
"What's up?"
"There is one stone in the world for civility. Feng Junhou alone has eight dou, Cao Zhi of Wei has one dou, and the remaining one is divided among the world."
"Hahaha, this is an interesting statement! This Feng Wenhe has such a loud voice, why doesn't he go to the river to brag?"
The rafts used to cross the river in Liangzhou are mostly made of sheepskin.
What is easier to use than sheepskin is naturally cowhide.
But it takes a person with a loud voice to blow it.
"Feng Junhou may not dare to say that. Aren't there people in Liangzhou taking exams to select talents? Maybe someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power, so they are so flattering..."
Governor Feng's reputation in Longyou is quite good, so naturally there are people who speak for him.
"That's true...but this flattery is too much. I wonder what the people on the Wei side will do when they hear it."
"What else can I do? I heard that Wei State's article demoting Feng Junhou, saying that he was unqualified, only made the world laugh. Even if Feng Junhou said this himself, he was just repaying his grievances directly."
After hearing these words, Li Yi woke up immediately. His heart felt cold and he looked at Cao San with some worry.
Unexpectedly, Cao San smiled calmly.
A bunch of ignorant people, just like those ignorant scholars in Wei who only know how to belittle people but never write a single article.
"I am born with talents" Do you know?
Do you know that "all the sages in ancient times were lonely"?
"King Chen had a banquet in the old days" Do you know?
As soon as he returns to Chendi, Feng Langjun's "About to Enter the Wine" will spread his name to the world.
Among the literati in the world, only King Chen and Feng Langjun can save the eternal sorrow, and the rest are not worth mentioning.
