In the courtyard, Le Yi wielded a big knife to show off his power.
He didn't use any inner energy, and the broadsword was swung very quickly and chaotically. It seemed that there was no order, but there was a vague sense of order from it.
The retainer Chu Qiong stood beside him like a wall, motionless.
Le Yi was kind to him, and in order to repay Le Yi, Chu Qiong followed him all the time. When Le Yi drove him away, Chu Qiong did not leave.
Seeing Zhao Kuo, Chu Qiong had a smile on his face. He had a very good impression of Zhao Kuo.
Because Zhao Kuo awakened Le Yi.
As Le Yi's retainer, Chu Qiong clearly knows what Le Yi's life was like before. Every day he was either planting vegetables or sitting in the yard, looking at the sky and reminiscing about the past.
How could I be like now when I picked up the sword and the book of war again, for fear that I would be delayed on the battlefield? Even if I go to bed at night, my face is filled with a smile.
The whole person's energy and spirit have undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
"This is Lord Wangzhu Leyi. You should serve him as a teacher. By the way, if you don't have a place to live in Handan, you can stay at my house in the past few days so that you can ask Lord Wangzhu for advice at any time." Zhao Kuo said to Li Mu.
Li Mu bowed and looked at Le Yi with reverence.
He grew up listening to Le Yi's deeds and admired Le Yi very much in his heart. He didn't expect to see the real person today.
"Ma Fuzi is really a gentleman. Not only did he confide in me and give me the opportunity to lead the army, he also introduced me to Wang Zhujun and let me live in his house and ask for advice at any time. I used to be dissatisfied with him. It’s really undeserved.”
Li Mu made up his mind to help Zhao Kuo win the Battle of Changping.
"This is Li Mu. He is one year younger than me, but his talent and strength are both above mine. He will definitely be the pillar of our Zhao Kingdom in the future."
Zhao Kuo pointed at Li Mu and said to Le Yi.
Seeing Zhao Kuo praising him so much, Li Mu waved his hands and said he didn't dare.
Le Yi threw the big knife to Chu Qiong and pinched Li Mu's bones.
"Yes, he is quite strong. He is a martial arts wizard." Le Yi said.
"Ever been in a war?"
"We fought in Northern Xinjiang," Li Mu said.
"You have the guts, have you read military books?"
"I've read it, not much." Li Mu said honestly.
"You don't need to read much about that stuff, just know the basics." Le Yi said nonchalantly.
Who can read military books among serious people? Does Sun Wu read them?
That guy only writes for others to read.
Isn't he still called the Soldier Saint?
Zhao Kuo blushed beside him because he was "familiar with military books."
"Have you ever learned battle formations?" Le Yi asked again.
"I've only learned one."
"show me."
"yes."
A pale golden light erupted from Li Mu's body, like meteors flying out, covering Le Yi.
"The basic military formation has enough scope to cover ten thousand people, and its aura is condensed, but it still lacks the baptism of blood. Not bad, very good."
Le Yi was very happy. He saw his young self in Li Mu.
"The battle formation should be refined, not numerous. Even a basic military formation can play a very big role if used properly. In this regard, you have done a very good job." Le Yi said with satisfaction.
Zhao Kuo's face turned even redder, and he learned a lot of battle formations.
"You should read these military books first. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me at any time. You must remember that scholars live and imitators die. When you get to the battlefield, throw away all the military books." Le Yi pointed out. He said this while holding a few bamboo slips on the case. He didn't just say this to Li Mu.
These books all belong to Zhao Kuo, and Le Yi just borrowed them.
This can be regarded as generosity to others. Since Zhao Kuo doesn't mind, Le Yi doesn't mind giving him some advice.
In this era, books are very precious, and a book can even be used as a family treasure.
However, Zhao Kuo, as a later generation, did not have this awareness.
He didn't know that he had unknowingly gained Le Yi's favor.
"Thank you Gong Le." Li Mu was very excited as he held the bamboo slips. With his family, it would have been impossible for him to obtain so many military documents.
"Le Gong, I want to accept you as my teacher." Li Mu bowed and said.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Le Yi waved his hand and did not agree.
Li Mu was a little disappointed.
Later, Le Yi taught Li Mu everything he had learned throughout his life, which helped Li Mu avoid many detours on his way to becoming a famous general.
Li Mu repeatedly requested to become his teacher, but Le Yi refused.
Li Mu still served Le Yi as a teacher throughout his life.
…
"Master, Gongsun Long is here."
The sun had just risen the next day, Zhao Kuo was sleepy, and Liu Ping suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Gongsun Long?" Zhao Kuo was a little surprised.
When he saw Gongsun Long leaving the banquet yesterday, he thought he was angry, but he didn't expect that he actually came to be a slave.
I often heard that the ancients valued credibility and made promises worth thousands of dollars, but I didn’t expect it to come to this!
"I see."
Zhao Kuo stood up quickly, got dressed under the service of his maid Qing He, and walked outside.
"Master, wait, my hair is not tied up yet." Qing He quickly grabbed Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo had no choice but to stop and let Qing He help him tie up his hair. He couldn't tie it up himself.
"It was really troublesome to wear clothes in ancient times." Zhao Kuo complained in his heart.
At first, Zhao Kuo was very resistant to help from others to get dressed, but it was so comfortable to have clothes on his hands and food on his hands, and Zhao Kuo was quickly corrupted.
"I haven't enjoyed enough of this damn aristocratic life, so I can't die." Zhao Kuo pinched Qing He's cheek and walked towards the living room, leaving Qing He with a blushing face.
Far away, Zhao Kuo saw an old man with a hunched body standing at the foot of the steps outside the living room. His hair was gray, his face was haggard, and his eyes were cloudy, as if he was about to die.
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and after careful identification, he recognized that the old man was actually Gongsun Long.
Zhao Kuo was immediately shocked. Yesterday, Gongsun Long was still writing and high-spirited. Today, he is so old that he no longer has half of the charm of yesterday.
When Gongsun Long saw Zhao Kuo, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Gongsun Long pays homage to the Lord. I have donated all the money and food at home to Lord Pingyuan and sent them to the front line. I am here to serve the Lord."
"Yesterday was just a joke, why should Mr. Zi Bing take it seriously." Zhao Kuo sighed.
He was indeed angry yesterday, but in the end Lord Pingyuan agreed to help him, and most of the anger in Zhao Kuo's heart disappeared.
Moreover, Zhao Kuo felt that what happened yesterday was over. To put it bluntly, if he guessed correctly, Gongsun Long had become a joke in Handan, and there was no need to really be a slave.
"If you don't trust me, you won't stand. Please Ma Fuzi accept me." Gongsun Long insisted.
Just as Zhao Kuo was about to refuse again, he suddenly thought, although Gongsun Long could not lead troops to fight, he was still a talented person, wasn't he?
Now is the time when I need talents, no matter if they are generals or civil servants, even if they are just a blacksmith.
"Since Mr. Zibing insists, then stay with me. Uncle Zhao, arrange a place for Mr. Zibing to live."
"No." Uncle Zhao said.
