The wind of sticks was fierce, and on the school field, two vigorous figures were fighting, fighting from the east end to the west end, attacking and defending, advancing and retreating, all with extremely exquisite moves. Even people who are not familiar with martial arts will see it. He was so mesmerized that his movements showed off the masculine beauty of a man. It was Liu Yu and He Wuji, the two masters of the Beifu Army, who were training and competing on halberds here.
However, while the two were fighting, they never stopped talking, and they were talking about military matters. It was precisely because of the fierceness of their fight that anyone within a foot away could be injured by the strong wind of their weapons. , so even the sergeants who wanted to see the magical skills of the two masters were watching from a distance of twenty or thirty feet away, but they could not hear what they were saying at all.
He Wuji's expression did not change, his heart did not beat, and he smiled and said: "Jinnu, it seems that your halberd skills have not improved much. Have you spent all your time on riding and shooting?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "It has been difficult to train horses in the north these years. Besides, I don't have an excellent stepper like you to train with. However, I see that your equestrian skills have improved a lot."
He Wuji sighed: "The battle at Yecheng made me understand a truth. Our strong enemy is always the Hu people's cavalry. Even if we dismount and fight with them, we still need to rely on horseback to be highly maneuverable." Okay, I’ve practiced riding a lot over the years, but compared to you, it’s far behind. How about we finish the fight later and then practice riding again?”
Liu Yu shook his head: "There is no time. I will go back to Jiankang early tomorrow morning. When I go back, I have to take away two hundred soldiers and transfer them to the Su Wei Army. Wuji, that's why I came to find you."
He Wuji laughed: "I've known for a long time that this day would come. Since you and the emperor have openly become enemies of the world's aristocratic families, you can't give them any trouble. Who else can you turn to besides us Beifu brothers? It’s just that you’re not interesting enough. It’s okay to go to Ah Shou first, but why don’t you come to me when you’re looking for the bottle second?”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, deflected He Wuji's halberd that stabbed his chest, and struck out with three backhand moves without stopping: "Xianzhi's nephew Xiao Xu is under Ping Ping's hands now, and today happens to be the recruit assessment. , I also want to see how he is doing, and I will tell Xianzhi when I get back. Besides, apart from Ah Shou, it was the bottle that was hurt the most last time, so I should check on them first because of emotion and reason."
He Wuji sighed: "That Xiao Xu, his skills are very good, even better than you and me when we first entered Beifu, but his experience in facing enemies is too poor, he is inexplicably arrogant, and he has the bad temper of some children from aristocratic families. If you want to He needs to be trained well before he can become a weapon. This time, he has to protect the emperor, which is a heavy responsibility. You'd better not ruin the big thing because of your personal feelings. After training him, you should put it into small battles and slowly improve."
Liu Yu nodded, stepped forward with seven-star steps, and dodged He Wuji's several halberds that attacked him like poisonous dragons, and then turned from defense to offense: "If you all say that, then you are not wrong. It seems that you have to judge A person still has to get along day and night and practice. You can't draw conclusions just by listening to his talk about military tactics. Wuji, you turned out to be the lieutenant in the palace of Sima Daozi's Prince Donghai, and you can be considered to have some relationship with the Daozi party. Isn’t it convenient for you to come with me to protect the emperor this time?”
He Wuji laughed and blocked the two halberds that Liu Yu was attacking towards him. The halberd whipped out a halberd flower on his head. It was a violent swing that made Liu Yu retreat again and again: "You know me, I am not Liu Xile, and I don’t like to make friends with these powerful people. Being able to have fun with my brothers is better than anything else. Going to Donghai Palace is an arrangement from above. To be precise, it is an arrangement from my uncle, probably my mother. Nagging in front of the commander-in-chief asking him to promote my nephew, I actually don’t want to guard that brat Yuan Xian.”
Liu Yu shook his head, raised his halberd to the sky, and blocked He Wuji's volley attack: "Don't underestimate Sima Yuanxian. In my opinion, he is much more powerful than his father. If anyone can mess up in the future, I, Da Jin, am not his father who indulges in life and debauchery, but this son. If I were you, I would rather stay with him longer, teach him well, and use that little cleverness on the right path, it will be a blessing to the country. .”
He Wuji sighed: "Teaching this young prince is a treasure of the king. Who will get my turn in Sun Tai's business? I can only teach him some martial arts and talk about battlefield battles with him after practicing. But This guy is quite interested in these things, and so far, he hasn't used any tricks on me. If Sima Daozi hadn't been annoyed and I didn't obey his orders to help you on the stage, I really wouldn't have wanted to go back to Beifu so soon. Well, there is no Northern Expedition to fight in the end anyway!"
With a crisp sound, the wooden halberds of the two people were locked together, entangled with each other, and fell into a state of tug-of-war. However, they were closer. Liu Yu curled his lips: "Before you come back this time, there are Didn’t you hear or feel that they might want to attack the emperor?”
He Wuji's expression changed slightly and he shook his head: "No, maybe it was because they wanted to plan this that they sent me back. Since the emperor is on the opposite side of the family, then King Kuaiji will become the one they are vying to befriend. Before I came back, at least a dozen companies had taken the initiative to find Sima Daozi. However, Wang Yu, Yu Kai and others were all serving as governors of other prefectures and counties, and Diao Kui was also transferred to Guangzhou as the governor. No, I'm afraid they still want to set up their presence outside to block the two powerful vassals of Jingzhou and Beifu, and they can't care about the emperor for the time being."
Liu Yu said seriously: "We can't take it lightly. The guards in the capital, including private soldiers, tribes, and servants of major families, total tens of thousands of people. As long as King Kuaiji gives an order, they can control the entire city." The capital does not need the power of external vassals. The so-called deployment of external vassals is just to slow down the attack speed of the armies of Jingzhou and Beifu. When the overall situation in the capital is decided, either a new king will be established, or his majesty will disobey the imperial edict and declare the governor of Yin. He Wang Zhenjun is a traitor, so the general situation will be gone."
He Wuji curled his lips and said, "Can you protect your majesty with only two hundred troops?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "We two hundred veterans of the Beifu army can be like thousands of troops. With the strong strength of the palace, it will not be a problem to defend for more than a month. It is enough to delay the reinforcements of the army. And you should know that Marshal Liu has practiced countless times If everything goes well in raising an army, just one day is enough to break into Jiankang. And we just have to fight for this one day. I can’t do it alone. I have to have the help of brothers from all over the world. Therefore, I need someone who is absolutely reliable. Of course, Wuji, I won’t force you. You once served as a lieutenant for King Kuaiji and have a good future, so you don’t necessarily need to be involved in this matter."
He Wuji sighed: "In your eyes, is the emperor so reliable? He is not the same as us."
