When Xiao Tang, Lu Junyi, and Hua Rong entered the study, they saw a pale but energetic old man sitting in the hall. Needless to say, he was the man known as the "Iron Arms of the Shaanxi Hero" who once served as the imperial boxer of the capital.
Zhou Tong, a legendary figure in the Song Dynasty, is the teacher of the library.
There is a six or seven-year-old child standing respectfully with his hands down. Although he is young, he has a pair of bright eyes and a serious expression. When Xiao Tang, Lu Junyi and others came in, he still looked at his nose, nose and heart, and behaved well.
tight.
This is the national hero Yue Wu and Mu Yue Fei who turned the tide when the Song Dynasty was in turmoil, eliminated the traitors of the Song Dynasty and suppressed the civil strife, and defeated the Heshuo Rebel Army.
!!!
This military model in Chinese history can definitely be called a loyal soul through the ages. Although Yue Fei's heroic name will always be remembered by future generations, although he is still a child, Xiao Tang still feels a sense of reverence in his heart. This kind of feeling is definitely not a blind admiration for China based on what others say.
People with outstanding reputations in history, precisely because heroes like Yue Fei who dare to be the first for the world have emerged from generation to generation, the Chinese nation will always strive for self-improvement and stand tall among the nations of the world!
When Xiao Tang was feeling this, he saw another poem written on the wall of the study room:
The origin of writing is to envy the head of a tiger, so one must teach people to talk and laugh in order to find a prince.
The majestic energy in the chest reaches the sky, and the green grass below the waist shoots the bullfight.
The hero is in harmony with the spoon and the cauldron, the cloud, the dragon, the wind and the tiger are in harmony with each other.
A man's ambition to achieve fame and success will be laughed at by others when he is alive!
After the poem, another eight words were written: Yue Fei, a seven-year-old boy, wrote an occasional poem. Xiao Tang frowned slightly after reading it. Yue Wumu, who was not yet in elementary school, could write such poems more than once
It is terrifyingly precocious, and you can feel the heroic complex that has already sprouted in his heart from between the lines.
Heroes have been lonely since ancient times, and Yue Fei's temperament and principles since he was a child have been very typical heroic behaviors: he is very strong and easy to break, and his pride can easily make people feel unapproachable. According to official history, Yue Fei has offended many people because of this.
A fellow officer, and the reason why he died in vain due to the eternal injustice in Feng Bo Pavilion has something to do with his temperament.
Yue Fei, who was standing solemnly, felt a pair of eyes looking directly at him. He glanced at Xiao Tang and met his eyes. Lu Junyi saw Zhou Tong here and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Disciple Lu Junyi, meet my mentor!"
"Get up..." Zhou Tong said to Yue Fei with a blank expression, "Yue Fei, this person can be considered your senior brother after all, so you must not lose your etiquette."
After hearing this, Yue Fei immediately threw down his sleeves, stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Lu Junyi, and said politely: "Yue Fei has met senior brother!" Immediately, his eyes glanced towards Xiao Tang again, curious as to why this man was only staring at him.
Lu Junyi looked a little embarrassed and murmured: "Teacher, these two are Ren Xia Xiao Tang and Xiao Li Guanghua Rong of Daming Mansion. I have admired my mentor for a long time, so I came here with my disciple to pay homage to my mentor."
Hearing Lu Junyi mention Xiao Tang, Zhou Tong's expression suddenly changed. He had not just heard about the famous story of Xiao Tang, a famous knight who "sent away orphans despite injustice and killed nine-headed insects in a long street". Zhou Tong remembered something again.
We met on Gyeonggi Road years ago, and my close friend Tan Zhengfang, who is both a teacher and a friend, once commented on Xiao Tang:
"I and Jin Tai, who often act unconventionally, are willing to teach the young martial arts. Not only because of Xiao Tang and Wu Song, except for my Shaolin traitor Guang Hui, most of the people in the world are brave people who rely on martial arts. Jin Laoer's name is
Disciple Wu Song has developed a lot of skills. It is admirable to have the courage to punish rape and eradicate evil, but it is also a common thing. But Xiao Tang was of low ability at that time, but he still dared to fight Wu Song against the powerful traitor regardless of his own safety.
People say that a person who is brave in blood is not afraid of arguing and fighting with others, and a person with courage in spirit can join the army and kill the enemy, but a person with bravery in bones can sacrifice his life for righteousness and kill himself to become a benevolent person. It is not difficult for a person to develop his own skills, but with that kind of courage,
It’s very valuable.”
Zhou Tong then paid attention to Xiao Tang. Recently, he heard that he had served as a military escort in Daming Prefecture and had repeatedly made military exploits with the army to conquer the bandits in southern Hebei Province. This made Zhou Tong even more interested in Xiao Tang.
The impression of Xiao Tang after meeting him became even better.
I am old, and even Qing'er died in the battle with the Xia people...Now I only want to train the generals Yingjie to serve the country, but Junyi and Wen Gong...it really disappoints me!
Zhou Tong thought to himself: This Xiao Tang has a good character and has joined the army. Even if his talent is not as good as Fei'er, it is true that he has made such achievements at such a young age.
Extremely rare.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong saw Xiao Tang and Hua Rong bowing to him and saluting, so he stood up and held up Xiao Tang and Hua Rong with a smile on his face, and said gently: "Daming Mansion is facing Mr. Nie Lang, and the soldiers and horses are guarding you.
The famous old man who supervises Xia Xiaotang is often mentioned by others. No need to be polite, but this little brother is also a good soldier in the army?"
Xiao Tang brought Hua Rong with him this time because Hua Rong not only had a hundred steps to cross the Yangtze River, but also had excellent archery skills. He was also the best spearman among his close friends. Zhou Tong was famous for his skill in archery and was able to teach Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, etc.
Yue Fei, a master of spear-wielding, had the idea of asking Zhou Tong to teach Hua Rong about his spear skills. When Zhou Tong asked about Hua Rong, Xiao Tang immediately replied: "It's good to teach Mr. Zhou to learn that my brother Hua Rong
, is also a descendant of a general. Although his father was framed and expelled from the military, Brother Hua Rong devoted himself to joining the army to serve the country. During the expedition against the thieves in southern Hebei, he shot and killed five thieves. He also made extraordinary achievements and is waiting to be rewarded by the court and awarded an official title.
body."
Zhou Tong was even more delighted when he heard this and praised him: "What a young hero. Only with such ambition can he show his true qualities as a man!"
Hua Rong quickly and respectfully praised his senior for the award, but Zhou Tong's true disciple Lu Junyi was ignored and could only cough dryly and said: "Disciple and Master have been separated for several years, and I miss him very much. I came to visit Master today. As soon as I came
This is to check if Master is safe, and secondly, to invite Master to live in my house so that I can show my filial piety to my disciples."
Zhou Tong's face darkened and he said: "Since you are a member of a party and a noble person, how can you bother me, an old man? Since you have already visited me and know that I am not dead yet, go back first!"
Lu Junyi's face turned green and white, and he said anxiously: "Master, it's not that my disciple is speechless! It's just that the master has no children and is alone. There must be someone who can show filial piety and take care of the master in his old age!"
"Who said I have no children!?" Zhou Tong snorted heavily, pointed at Yue Fei and said: "He is my adopted son! I will devote my life's skills to him. After a hundred years, these few
My adopted son will naturally bury the old bones in the earth, so you don’t need to worry about them!"
Lu Junyi then turned his attention to Yue Fei again, and saw that Yue Fei straightened his clothes, straightened his chest and looked at Lu Junyi calmly. Even at such a young age, he showed no timidity in front of the famous Jade Qilin in Hebei Province.
Xiao Tang saw that there was a stalemate in the situation, so he advised Zhou Tong: "I hope that Senior Zhou will forgive me for talking too much. I also know a little bit about why Brother Lu is not getting along with Senior Zhou. But there is a way to achieve the same goal through different paths.
Zhiyiye, although Brother Lu did not join the army as the elders of the Zhou Dynasty wished, he is still a good man who is upright and upright. Although our Song Dynasty has occasional disputes with Xixia, it has not had war with Liao for a hundred years. However, foreign invasions
When we, China, invaded our homeland, how could Brother Lu stay out of it?"
"I have long heard that a Jade Qilin and Ren Xia from Hebei Province are very famous in Daming Mansion. It seems that the relationship between you and the two is quite good." Zhou Tong smiled slightly and said, "Let's not talk about this for now.
It's time to teach Fei'er the art of spear, stick and bow. Nephew Xiao Xian and nephew Hua Xian, are you willing to go with me to learn martial arts?"
Xiao Tang thought, Zhou Tong was deliberately trying to differentiate between him and Hua Rong. Seeing that Lu Junyi just nodded to him with a wry smile, Xiao Tang said: "The juniors should obey the words of the seniors."
After that, Xiao Tang and others followed Zhou Tong and Yue He and walked straight to the stacking yard in Qilin Village. They saw Yue Fei following closely behind Zhou Tong and Yue He. Although his childish look remained on his face, he behaved like an adult.
of poise.
"I have heard about Brother Xiao's deeds." Yue Fei suddenly said to Xiao Tang: "Both my father and my adoptive father taught me how to be brave in the military. The soldiers who defended the family and the country were all respectable people, like Brother Xiao.
I, Yue Fei, admire this kind of person very much."
Xiao Tang listened to Yue Fei's words and replied with a smile on his face: "I just joined the army to suppress a group of bandits who caused harm to one side. There are tens of millions of people in the army of the Song Dynasty who sacrificed their lives for the country. Their achievements are far better than mine. How can I win the title of Senior Zhou?"
If you teach him his life-long skills, you will definitely have a bright future."
Only then did Yue Fei's Chen Yi's face show a hint of joy. He nodded firmly and said: "My adoptive father said that when I study martial arts and master the art of war, he will let me enlist in the army. At that time, I may be able to fight side by side with Brother Xiao and build the country together."
Great fame!"
Xiao Tang remembered that when Yue Fei became famous, it coincided with the disgrace of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, which also touched his mind. Xiao Tang pondered for a long time and said meaningfully: "If possible, I hope we don't have any chance to gain fame.
.”
When Yue Fei heard this, he was surprised and said: "Why did Brother Xiao say that!?"
Xiao Tang sighed and said: "Those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements, and those who are good doctors do not have a brilliant name. The champion Hou Huo Qubing was granted the title of Langjuxu because the Han Dynasty was repeatedly invaded by the Huns in the Central Plains.
The chaotic China, the bloody and troubled times when the clothes went south; Guo Ziyi made the powerful vassals fearful, but the prosperous Tang Dynasty was hit by the Anshi Rebellion and the big tree was about to fall...Heroes...will eventually be born with the troubled times, really want to
As our warriors make repeated military exploits, I am afraid that the world of our Song Dynasty will also be in turmoil!"
Yue Fei carefully understood Xiao Tang's words. Although he had some insights, he thought: Brother Xiao's words are indeed reasonable, but his adoptive father was heartbroken because of the corruption of the imperial court and the control of military power by traitors, and he often couldn't sleep at night. In the army,
If the officers and soldiers were so determined to remain invincible, wouldn't they just be at the mercy of powerful traitors?
Thinking about it, Yue Fei slowly clenched his fists. He looked at Xiao Tang, who was more than ten years older than him, and slowly developed a competitive spirit...
Note: Yue Wu and Mu Yue Fei were born in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (11o3). The time context, location, description, etc. are basically consistent with this book. At the same time, comparing the official historical records with the complete biography of Yue, it is not inconsistent at this point in time.
, but later non-Water Margin characters in the book mainly refer to official history (such as Niu Gao, etc.)
