Guan Ling still knelt down respectfully and saluted, while Hao Siwen looked over and met Xuan Zan's eyes. They both felt understanding. Xuan Zan immediately looked like his eyes were confused by the wind and stretched out his hand to touch randomly.
He opened his eyes, cheered up again, and laughed loudly to Guan Ling: "Good nephew, my uncle inspected and inspected Jinan a few days ago and raided several prefectural and military departments in Qing. You didn't go to greet you when you came, but now we can get together.
Uncle Hao also wants to test the skills you have learned now. It seems that you have already competed with Uncle Hao, do you still have the strength to compete with me again?"
When Guan Ling saw this, he immediately stood up. With his fiery temperament, he immediately said boldly: "My uncle has a reputation, how dare my nephew An disobey it? Of course I still have strength. Uncle Xuan also fights on horseback and uses a sword. And
The method of shooting arrows is even more extravagant. My nephew must be a good student and ask for advice. I hope my uncle will give me some advice!"
....... After another hard fight, not only Xuan Zan, but also Guan Ling couldn't help but sweat through his clothes, but it was a fierce battle. And Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, and Guan Ling looked at each other again.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but laugh loudly, feeling very happy!
"Nephew, after all, you are still young. When you grow up a few more years and serve in the army, you must know that although your horse fighting skills are enough to kill the enemy in battle, you cannot rely solely on personal bravery to make achievements on the battlefield.
Military orders, camp laws and regulations, military drills, and preparations for battle...the military skills of the generals are all considered, and they must be studied attentively. And your father...is not only strong and brave, but also has a good command of the army.
He is familiar with Confucian classics, understands principles and values righteousness, and is worthy of being a role model for our generation of warriors. My nephew, you must also work hard like your father."
Hearing the sentiments of Xuan Zan, Guan Ling's expression immediately became solemn when she mentioned her father Guan Sheng. Although her father had sadly died in battle when she was a child, Guan Sheng with his great sword killed the traitor Liu Yu in anger.
This anecdote is still widely circulated in various parts of the Qi Dynasty. Guan Ling is naturally very proud of her father. She has always taken Guan Sheng as a role model and studied hard all day long without slacking off. Now she nodded and said seriously: "Da Ming."
The government said that there was Wang Instructor in the martial arts academy, and Luo Xueyuan taught well. Xu Sheng, Ruan Liang and other older brothers who had already served in the military also came to the academy to give guidance and actually taught their younger nephews, Dong Fang and Zhang Guoxiang.
, Hu Yanyu, Hua Fengchun and other brothers who studied in Jiangwu Academy have benefited a lot. Even if they cannot build a mighty and famous name that is known all over the world like my father, they will still work hard day and night to strive to make contributions to the country as soon as possible.
!”
Hao Siwen smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xuan Zan and said: "My nephew is studying hard at the Daming Mansion Military Academy. It is not easy for me to finally have the opportunity to come and see you. Now that we have inspected what should be inspected, we will continue to investigate.
, it seems that the elders are a bit too strict. I take advantage of my free time to visit the market and have some fun, otherwise we uncles would be too unkind."
Xuan Zan laughed loudly when he saw this and said: "Of course! But we might as well go for a leisurely stroll with you later. Today, Hao Siwen brothers and nephews are all coming to my house. My wife's family has taught them to prepare
The banquet is just in time to welcome my nephew! Brother Hao Siwen, you and I haven’t had a drink together for a while. Today, I’m taking advantage of my joy. You and I will never get home without getting drunk! And my good nephew... uh
...Haha, you have to wait a few more years and have a good time drinking with your uncle!"
After hearing this, Guan Ling also smiled, her face full of the vigor and vitality of a young man who wanted to show his vigor, like the rising sun: "My uncle is taking care of me, how can my nephew not respond?"
It was not until four years later that Guan Ling joined the army and was indeed transferred to the army commanded by Hao Siwen and then served as the envoy of the Ma Army. After the Qi Dynasty established the Central Plains, although the overall situation under the rule was prosperous and stable, the imperial dynasties overturned
At this time, it is inevitable that there will still be some people everywhere who are unwilling to settle for the status quo, or try to incite the people to cede territory and seek hegemony, or recruit thousands of thieves to still try to do evil. And Hao Siwen was ordered to eliminate a few groups of bandits with limited momentum.
The thieves, of course, will consider Guan Ling's safety when marching and fighting, but they will also abide by military laws and will not be partial or indulgent. Guan Ling is also very ambitious. In the first battle, he broke the formation as ordered and rushed back and forth among the rout of the thieves.
More than ten times, he killed the man with blood and the horse with blood. He charged forward and was unstoppable.
Hao Siwen was extremely pleased and reported his merits to the imperial court. After the next three or four battles with great victories, Guan Ling relied on his solid military exploits and was promoted to the rank of military commander. Then he was transferred to the army under the command of Xuan Zan.
, participated in the war with the Xia Kingdom, and took the lead in every battle. He led his sharp cavalry to charge into the enemy's formation, crushing the enemy's morale. He praised his father, Guan Sheng, who was well versed in military books, proficient in martial arts, and had the courage of thousands of men.
In the past, when he only served as an inspection officer, he was dormant as a subordinate. Although he was not biased towards Guan Ling at all, he also intended to teach him that he would have the opportunity to achieve great achievements. At the same time, he took the trouble to teach Guan Ling that he should not get too far because of his promotion in the army.
Quick and arrogant. . . .
As expected, Guan Ling did not disappoint Xuan Zan. The two uncles, Hao Siwen, were disappointed. A few years later, a large area of northwest territory was demarcated. By the time Guan Ling was awarded a title and official position based on his military exploits and was in charge of the army and horses of all the states, he had already
Become a general in the army who can stand alone.
As for Hao Siwen, in the following years, whether he was ordered to wipe out the rebels who were making trouble here and there, or to lead his troops to conquer the captured state military fortress, he was always conscientious and did not neglect. When the Qi Dynasty expanded the border,
During the Western Regions, Hao Siwen was also assigned to patrol the border at Yumen Pass. He spent many years as a soldier, but he died of illness during his tenure. His body was then sent back to his hometown for a good burial. His descendants received generous pensions and rewards, and they became rich and prosperous for generations to come.
Yan...
Xuanzan later gave birth to two sons and a daughter with his good wife, but he, an ugly man who said he didn't care about looks, couldn't help but smile a lot every time he picked up his newborn child.
, said with a self-deprecating smile: "Fortunately, you look like your mother"...
As Emperor Xiaotang of the Qi Dynasty determined to conquer Liuhe, pacify the Eight Wastelands, and try his best to stabilize the beautiful mountains and rivers of China in later generations, he fought with the Xixia Kingdom and even went on an expedition to the Western Regions.
He had the ability to defeat the generals with his own tactics and went to the battlefield personally, and achieved two great achievements. He was not reused as a general in the Song Dynasty, but he only served as the defense envoy Baoyi in Busi Yamen, and then finally served in the Qi Dynasty.
On the contrary, he was promoted to the position of commander-in-chief, bodyguard, pro-army commander, and commander of the infantry army, commonly known as "infantry commander". During this period, when his children grew up, they also became in-laws with the Hao Siwen family.
The two generals did not know each other at first, but they formed a brotherhood with different surnames under the introduction of their sworn brother Guan Sheng. However, the two generals tried their best to train Guan Ling to build a career and achieve prestige.
Only in this way can we comfort the soul of our beloved brother in heaven. Instead of just Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen and Hao Siwen have always had the deepest friendship through life. The Guan family and the three Hao families have been friends with each other for generations, and they work together to cooperate with each other.
, many of their descendants also served in the Qi Dynasty's military, and most of them had to be promoted and promoted by Guan Ling, a highly respected figure in the Qi Dynasty, in order to continue the achievements and reputation of their ancestors...
(The relevant deeds after Guan Ling are described later in the chapter about Yue Yun and other young heroes in the army, as well as the descendants of Liangshan.)
