Wen Ya was invited to the main hall, and when the maid would bring the refreshments, Wei Cunyang arrived in official uniform. He bowed his hands in greeting, which was quite polite.
"I didn't know that the master of the pavilion came to visit us, but we missed him from afar."
Wen Ya stood up and returned the salute, smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, sir. I came here today because I have something to plead with you."
She didn't mince words and directly stated her purpose: "There is an abandoned crossbow farm in the racecourse. I would like to ask you to sell me the crossbow farm."
"The crossbow field in the racecourse..." Wei Cunyang said with some confusion: "Half of that place is buried in the soil, so I'm afraid it can't be used for anything. But since the pavilion master needs it, just use it.
No need to talk about money."
Wen Ya didn't appreciate it, "How could this happen?" She didn't want to take advantage of someone who was short-handed and soft-spoken.
Wei Cunyang smiled and said: "It's just an abandoned place. Although I don't know what the master of the pavilion has done, but to me, it is useless. How can I dare to sell it to the master of the pavilion?"
He secretly thought in his heart, how could he dare to collect money from someone who even Zhou Mu must respect and respect? It would be a good thing if he could give it away.
Seeing that he was really insisting, Wen Ya thought about it and suggested: "In that case, thank you sir.
It’s just that I don’t get paid for my merits, and since you don’t want to sell it, I don’t need money to buy it. I can teach you a set of boxing and kicking skills that ordinary people can practice, what do you think?”
When Wei Cunyang heard this, his face was full of surprise. This was an immortal master, and the boxing and kicking skills taught by the immortal master were not comparable to ordinary boxing and kicking skills. He immediately agreed and sent someone to Hucao to apply for the land deed.
Then, he selected thirty more elite soldiers and immediately learned Shange Kung Fu.
...
Two hours later, Wen Ya successfully took the land deed and left Bingcao. Others in Bingcao Yamen were still discussing what they had learned previously.
"As expected of the Master of the Mountain Pavilion, it is just a set of fists and kicks, but each move is different from the ordinary. It is simple and yet domineering. If everyone can learn this, our military strength will be greatly increased."
"Even so, now that I have just learned the moves, it is still difficult to use that strength. You see just now, the Pavilion Master can break rocks with one punch, but with one of our punches, not to mention the rocks, there is no wind at all."
"Nonsense, what can you learn and become good overnight? Then you must practice it for many years. It is definitely unrealistic to achieve results in a short time, but if we start practicing from now on, our strength will definitely increase greatly in the future."
When a group of people were discussing the excellence of kung fu, some people expressed emotion, "It's a pity that I'm too old, otherwise I really want to enter the mountain pavilion."
"If you can't do it, your baby can't do it either. I'll give it to you next year and it will bring glory to your ancestors."
Wei Cunyang had also been studying from the sidelines. He was wiping his sweat and taking a rest. Hearing what other elite soldiers were discussing, he thought about it and came up with an idea. He immediately changed his clothes and hurried to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
What surprised him was that as soon as he entered the Zhou Mu Mansion, he ran into an oncoming yamen servant. The yamen servant looked happy when he saw him, stepped forward and saluted: "Master Wei, what a coincidence, Zhou Mu is looking at me.
I went to see you and said I had something important to discuss."
As a soldier, he had important matters to discuss, which were obviously no ordinary trivial matters. Wei Cunyang quickly gathered his thoughts and hurriedly followed the Yamen servants to the meeting hall.
Cao Shen didn't expect him to arrive so soon, and was very surprised.
Wei Cunyang quickly explained: "I have something to report to the official."
Cao Shen thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about your business first."
After receiving permission, Wei Cunyang told what happened to the soldiers earlier, "... The official thought that it was just an abandoned place. Giving it to the Pavilion Master would just bring her closer to us.
However, the master of the pavilion did not take it for nothing, but taught him a very powerful set of boxing and kicking skills that can be used for self-defense. The subordinate wanted to come and ask for permission if that set of skills could be practiced in the army."
Cao Shen was very pleasantly surprised. Although he had never seen that set of kung fu, since it was taught by the master of the Shan Pavilion himself, it must be extraordinary. He nodded and said: "Okay, Bing Cao can practice it."
However, he reminded: "But don't put the cart before the horse. The most important thing is to train in formation and against the enemy. How many hours of training do you need every day now?"
"Six hours a day." Wei Cunyang replied.
Cao Shen pondered for a moment, "One more hour."
Wei Cunyang was shocked, "Sir, six hours is already a lot. If we add more, I'm afraid the soldiers will not be able to bear it."
Cao Shen looked stern and reproached: "The soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy can see their bloody blades and lose their lives. What else can't be tolerated? This is why I called you here today.
The state of Mu has already begun to take action and is now raising troops to attack Minzhou. Minzhou is weak and will definitely not be able to survive. Daxia is already in danger."
Wei Cunyang was shocked again, "The country of Mu is so weak, how could it take the initiative to attack us?"
Mentioning this matter, Cao Shen felt regretful. The prince of Mu State escaped under his nose at the time. If he had been caught at that time, what would have happened now. If Daxia was finally overthrown in the hands of Mu State, then what could he do?
He is truly a sinner of Daxia.
"The newly enthroned leader of the Mu Kingdom is very ambitious. He is no longer willing to survive in the cracks. Now he is in Minzhou. Soon, he may come to our Yinzhou, so we must be ready to fight at any time."
Wei Cunyang thought for a while and suggested in a calm voice: "Sir, I have a suggestion. Since the ambition of Mu State has been revealed, why don't we send troops to capture Mu State.
Now their main force must be in Minzhou, and the Mu State is already weak. If we attack from behind, we can catch them off guard. As long as we capture the capital, the Mu State will be defeated."
Cao Shen frowned. It's not that he hadn't thought about this idea before. But even if he wanted to send troops, he had to inform the Prime Minister of the capital first, otherwise he would send troops without any name. Secondly, he was unwilling to start a war from the bottom of his heart.
.
He has put in a lot of effort to make Yinzhou what it is today. He has been strengthening Yinzhou's military forces over the years, and his training has never failed. But the more this happens, the less he wants to let anything destroy the place he manages with all his heart.
Now that everything is peaceful in Yinzhou, if he takes the initiative to send troops, war will be inevitable in the future. Therefore, rather than taking the initiative to attack, he is actually more willing to stay put. He only needs to defend this place with strong strength.
.
Wei Cunyang has followed Cao Pan for ten years, so he naturally knows what he is thinking. His Lord Zhou Mu is a typical non-war faction.
"Sir, even if we are stable for a while now, the spearheads of other vassal states will definitely point at us in the future. Instead of doing this, it is better for us to strike first. Now is a good time. If we can capture the country of Mu, it will be a great success for Daxia.
But it’s just one less scourge.”
Cao Shen frowned and said, "Once Yinzhou goes to war with Mu, the other vassal states will definitely wait and see the right time. If you are like a mantis stalking a cicada, won't they be the oriole behind? Once a war breaks out, there will be no so-called winner.
There is no need to mention this matter again, you just need to practice. In addition, conduct actual combat drills every half month." Even if there is no war, you must be prepared for it.
Wei Cunyang sighed inwardly, knowing that there was no point in saying anything anymore, so he could only accept it and say goodbye.
