Chapter 10 The Ninth Session of the Marshal's Mansion Yue Pengju Talks about the Recruitment of Soldiers

It is said that when Uncle Yue looked back at that person immediately, it was Jiang Zhenzi who opened an inn in Xiangzhou.Uncle Yue said: "Why are you here? Why did I harm you?" Jiang Zhenzi said: "To tell the truth, since you got up, there has been a Hong Zhongjun who said that he was defeated by Uncle Yue in front of the Grand Master of Liudu Courtyard." You killed him and made him dismissed. So he led many people to come to you to settle accounts. The villain told him that he had gone back for two days. He blamed the young man for keeping the old men, and beat the villain's house to pieces. He also ordered the place not to allow the villain to open a shop there. The villain had no choice but to move here to the Nanxun Gate and still open a guest apartment. Just now the second came to report that the old men passed by with a few horses, so the villain Catch up, and please go to the small shop to have a rest." Uncle Yue said happily, "This is just an acquaintance of an old friend from another land!" He hurriedly called, "Brothers, come here!" When the four heard it, they turned their horses.Uncle Yue said in detail: "Jiang Zhenzi also opened a shop here."

The four of them were also happy, and went back to Jiang Zhenzi's shop to dismount. Jiang Zhenzi hurriedly asked Xiao Er to carry the luggage upstairs, led the horse to the back trough for feeding, brought tea and water, and was busy.Uncle Yue asked Jiang Zhenzi, "You went to the capital first. Do you know where the yamen Zong stayed behind?" It's easy to recognize." Uncle Yue said: "I think I have already sat down at this time." Jiang Zhenzi said: "It's very early! This old man worships the Marshal of the National Guard and stays in Bianjing. He mounts his horse to manage the army and dismounts to manage the people. At this time, I am still working in the court and have not returned, and I will not sit in the hall until after noon!" Uncle Yue said, "I have accepted the teaching." Then he went upstairs, took the books from Liuduyuan, and went downstairs.Tang Huai asked, "Where is brother going?"

Uncle Yue said: "Brother, you don't know something. The day before yesterday, there was a letter from the Liudu Courtyard, and I was asked to deliver it face-to-face at the Zong's stay. I heard the master say that he is very powerful in the court. Waiting for Brother Yu to go and download it now." If this book is interesting, brother Yu can get a background, and all brothers will benefit." Niu Gao said: "In that case, brother will go with you." Uncle Yue said: "No way! Somewhere, if you get into trouble Come on, won't you implicate me?" Niu Gao said: "I won't open my mouth, I'll just wait for you in front of the street gate." Uncle Yue insisted on refusing.Wang Guidao: "Brother, good man! Let's go together, recognize this guy who stays in the yamen, and don't allow Brother Niu to cause trouble." Uncle Yue had no choice but to say, "That is, you go again and again, just be careful, don't do it and you will come out, isn't it? Xiao Ke's mouth!" The four said, "You'll be fine if you have nothing to do." After saying that, they locked the door and went downstairs to Jiang Zhenzi, saying, "Master, please take care of the door. We'll come when we go to the left-behind yamen." Jiang Zhenzi said: "The villain has a glass of water and wine, and I will welcome the wind for the old men. I hope the old men will come back soon." The five brothers responded: "Thank you! Don't worry about it."

Out of the store, we walked together until we arrived at the left-behind yamen. It was really magnificent.After standing for a while, I saw a Junjian coming out of the teahouse by the east gate.Uncle Yue stepped forward and arched his hands, calling: "General, may I ask, has the old man ever sat in the hall?" Jun Jian said, "The old man came to court this morning and has not come back yet." Uncle Yue said: " I've been taught." Turning around, he came back and said to the brothers, "I haven't come back yet, how long will we wait? Why don't we go back to our apartment and come back tomorrow!" The brothers said, "Listen to brother." The five turned around and couldn't walk for half a mile. There are many roads, and all the people on the road stand still on both sides, saying: "Master Zong is back!" All the brothers also stood still under the eaves of others.After a while, I saw many deacons and military academies following, Zong stayed behind and sat in a big sedan chair, coming all the way mighty and mighty.Uncle Yue and the four others watched from behind until they got off the sedan chair in the lobby.

Not long after I entered, I could only hear the sound of three bangs rising, and the military schools on both sides shouting.When Zong stayed behind, he was promoted to the official case and told the banner officer: "Submit all the documents for approval one after another. If Yue Fei, a martial arts student from Tangyin County, comes, let him come in." The banner officer responded: "Oh!" Ladies and gentlemen, why did your master Daozong know that Yue Fei was coming?Just because Liu Guangshi, the governor of Xiangzhou, first sent a letter to Zong to stay behind, saying that Yue Fei is rare in the world, unparalleled in the world, versatile in both civil and military affairs, and is really a pillar of the country, and Zong needs to stay and be promoted.So Zong stayed behind and thought about Yue Fei every day: "I don't know if he is a real talent and learning; I don't know if he is a rich man. Liu Jiedu got his bribe and entrusted him with love?"

Let's say that Uncle Yue is waiting outside, and seeing that the left behind Zong is so majestic, he really looks like the emperor of Yama, so he is very scared.Tang Huai said: "Why did Zong stay in the hall and sit in the hall when he came back?" Uncle Yue said: "I also think about it. He went to the court at the fifth watch, and he should have a rest and eat something before sitting in the hall. Is there any emergency? That's why it's so hasty." While talking, he saw the banner officers handing in documents from other prefectures and counties together.Uncle Yue said: "I'm going to submit a book too, but I'm wearing white clothes, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Brother Zhang, you can change with me for a while."

Zhang Xian said: "Brother is very right, change it." Then the two changed their clothes.Uncle Yue said again: "If I go in, if there is a chance, it will benefit even the brothers; if the mountains are high and the water is low, the virtuous brothers will have to stay outside in silence, and must not be angry. Don't say that you are a brother, Lian Xian The lives of my brothers are also in danger!" Tang Huai said: "Since my brother is so afraid, I have my own skills on the spot, so why do I need to write this book? I have gained fame, and others only think that it is through Liu Jiedu's help." Uncle Yue said: "I have my own ideas, so don't stop me." He went into the gate alone, and came to see the flag board and said, "Yue Fei, a martial artist from Tangyin County, please see me." The flag board said, "Is your name Yue Fei?" The old man replied: "Yes!" The flag said: "The old man is about to see you, just wait."

The flag board went in and reported: "Yue Fei, a martial artist from Tangyin County, is here to see you." Zong Ze said, "Call him in." The flag board agreed, and came out and shouted: "Yue Fei! The great master calls you, you can come with me, if you want Be careful!" Uncle Yue replied: "I know!" Following the flag board to the lobby, he knelt down on both knees and said: "The elder is on top, Tang Yin kowtows to Wusheng Yue Fei." Zong Ye looked down, slightly With a smile: "I said that Yue Fei must be a rich man. Let's see how gorgeous he is!" Then he asked Yue Fei, "When did you come?" Uncle Yue said, "Wu Sheng just arrived today." present.Zong Ze opened it to read, took a look at the case, and shouted: "Yue Fei! How much money did you spend to buy this letter? Let's talk about it honestly. If there is a half-word in it, just wait for it!" Shout out.Early alarmed the little brothers outside the gate, and heard the yelling inside, Niu Gao said: "It's not good! Let me fight in and snatch the elder brother out." Tang Huai said: "I can't move! Let's see how he reacts." , make sense again."

The brother gesticulated and scouted for news outside.Here Uncle Yue saw that Zong stayed behind and got angry, but he didn't panic, and said slowly: "Wu Sheng is from Tangyin County. His father, Yue He, was sent by the Yellow River three days after giving birth to Wu Sheng, and his father died in Qingbo. In the middle. Wu Sheng Lai was hugged by his mother, sat in a flower vat, traveled to Neihuang County, was adopted by Wang Mingen, and his family business and Nissan were all lost. Wu grew up and worshiped Zhou Tong in Shaanxi as his adoptive father. Cheng Wuyi. Because of the examination in the Xiangzhou Academy, Mr. Liu thought of Yi, wrote Xu Gong of Tangyin County, found out the old foundation of Wusheng, and issued silver to build a house, and ordered my mother and son to return to the clan. Before leaving, I also donated fifty taels of silver. In order to pay for the trip to Beijing, Wu Sheng came here to ask for a family background, in order to make contributions. Wu Sheng is poor, how can I give money to Mr. Liu?"

After hearing these words, Zong Ze thought to himself: "I've heard for a long time that there was a Zhou Tong who was very capable and refused to be an official. It's not sure if he is his adopted son, or if he has some talents." Said to Yue Fei. "Forget it! Follow me to the Hall of Arrows." After saying that, a group of military academies surrounded the Zong Ye and brought Yue Fei to the Hall of Arrows.Zong Ze sat down, and called Yue Fei: "Go and pick a bow yourself, and shoot it for me to see." Uncle Yue took the order, went to the bow stand next to him, took a bow to try it out, and found it soft; The same is true for one piece.I took several in a row, all of which were the same.Then he knelt down and said, "My lord, these bows are too soft. I'm afraid they won't shoot very far." Zong Ye said, "How much strength do you use in the past?" More than 200 catties, I shot more than 200 steps." Zongye said: "In this case, I asked the military academy to fetch my magic arm bow, but it only weighs 300 catties. I don't know if I can move it?" Uncle Yue said, "And Please come and give it a try."

After a while, the military academy placed Zongye's own divine arm bow and a pot of carved feathers and arrows at the bottom of the steps.Uncle Yue went down the steps to fetch the general, pulled it up, and shouted: "Okay!" Putting on the arrow, Chi Chi Chi shot nine branches in a row, and the branch hit the red heart.Put down your bow and go to the hall to see Zong Ye.The Zongye was overjoyed, and asked, "What kind of weapon do you use?" Uncle Yue said, "All martial arts students know a little bit about it, but the one they are used to is the gun." The Zongye said, "OK." Bring the gun." The military academy promised, and then two people carried out the steel gun that Zongye used himself.Zong Ye ordered Yue Fei: "Let me see." Uncle Yue responded, holding the gun in his hand, still descending the steps, swinging the gun on the archery range, walking straight, walking straight, hooking inside and outside, burying his head in offering drills, making thirty-six turns, seven Twelve changes.Master Zong looked at it, and unconsciously said repeatedly: "Okay!" The applause from left and right did not wish Uncle Yue to finish, his complexion not red, his throat not panting, he gently leaned the gun aside, and bowed and knelt in the hall Down.Zongye said: "I think you are a hero. If the court uses you as a general, how about the way to use soldiers?" The order is to shake the mountains outside, and the team is strictly rewarded and punished. The general will not be courageous in seeking sacrifices, high defense and low defense pits. Take the lead and always show love, and it is not in the name to care about the soul. Received offerings to Yuan Rong to restore the land, and said that the sun will sing loudly to make peace. Zong Liushou was overjoyed after hearing this, and ordered: "Close the door." Then he got down from his seat, raised his hands and said, "Please come up with a virtuous deed. I only want to bribe you to make progress, but I know you are a real talent and a real learner." Call left and right: "Look and sit!" said Uncle Yue: "My lord, what a martial artist, he dares to sit arbitrarily." The left guard said: "You don't have to be humble, you can talk when you sit." Uncle Yue bowed and sat down.The left and right brought tea to eat, and the lord said: "Xianqi is excellent in martial arts and can be called a general, but have you ever reviewed the methods of marching and deploying troops?" It's a stubborn method, so there's no need to delve into it." After hearing this, Zong Ye felt displeased, and said, "According to what you said, the ancients don't need to use these military formations?" Uncle Yue said: It is common practice for military strategists to form an array and then engage in battle, but one should not be stubborn. The ancient times were different from the present. The battlefields were wide, narrow, dangerous, and easy. How could one use a certain array? The use of troops is very important, and it requires surprises. Only by making the enemy unable to measure my reality can we win. If the bandits come in haste, or besieged on all sides, how can we have the time to arrange the formation and fight with him again? The magic of using troops is to use power to change , all in one heart.” After hearing this discussion, the Zongye said: "He is really a pillar of the country! Liu Jiedu can be said to know people. But it is good for Xianqi to come three years early, and it is good to come three years late. It is really not a coincidence at this time!" Uncle Yue said: " I don’t know why the Eldest Master made such a sudden statement?” The Zong Ye said: “I don’t know about the Xian Qi, it’s just because there is a vassal king named Chai and Gui, who is the descendant of Chai Shizong’s descendant, who was named Xiaoliang King in Nanning Prefecture in the south of Yunnan. Chaohe is today's son, and I don't know who I have heard. This subject is going to win the champion here. I don't want to order four major examiners: one is the prime minister Zhang Bangchang, the other is Wang Duo in the hall of the Ministry of War, the other is Zhang Jun, the governor of the right army, and the other is I am an official. Then Chai Gui sent in four books and four gifts. Prime Minister Zhang accepted one point, so he promised him the champion of the current subject; Wang Bingbu and Zhang Dudu also accepted; only the old man did not accept his Now he is the master of the three, and he is going to be the champion, so it is not a coincidence." Uncle Yue said: "I will ask the master to decide this matter!" Zong Ye said: "To seek talents for the country, it is natural to seek real talents , but there are some twists and turns in this matter. Today, I should sit down with Liu Xianqi to talk again, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my eyes and ears to be ostentatious. And please go back to the apartment, and then explain the reasoning when you are on the scene." But at that time, Uncle Yue thanked him and came out of Yuanmen.The brothers received him and said: "You don't come out when you are inside, and we are so worried about it. Why do you have a frown on your face? You must have been angry with the stay-at-home?" Uncle Yue said: "He put the brother I respect you so much, what are you angry about? Let’s go back to the apartment and talk about it.” The five brothers hurried back to the apartment, and it was already dusk.Uncle Yue and Zhang Xian changed their clothes.The host brought up the banquet, put it on the table, and called out: "Masters! The water, wine, and vegetables are not suitable for food. Please have a drink slowly. The villain has to take care of the guests before and after, so it is inconvenient to accompany you." Said Come on, let's go downstairs.Here five brothers sat down to drink.Uncle Yue only told about Zong staying behind to watch the martial arts performance, and he didn't dare to mention the words of King Chai, but he was secretly puzzled.The brothers who knew him went in.Nothing to say that night. In the morning of the next day, the owner of the store came up and said quietly: "The left-behind yamen sent people to carry five tables of food and drink. They said it was inconvenient to invite them here, so they sent them here to meet Mr. Yue. How do you pay him?" " Uncle Yue said: "In that case, bring it upstairs." Immediately sealed two taels of silver and sent the visitor.The master's family asked Xiao Erxiang to help carry the wine upstairs and set it up, and then went downstairs to warm the wine, and Xiao Er came to wait on him.Uncle Yue said: "In that case, when the wine is hot, we will drink it ourselves, so you can wait on us." Niu Gao said: "The master's wine is not free to eat. Since it is sent from the yamen , Don’t go back to the table, you’ll end up eating him!” Not humble, he sat down and ate with his head down.After eating for a while, Wang Gui said, "I'm not happy eating like this. I need an order to eat Fang Miao." Tang Huai said, "That's right, it's you who ordered." Wang Gui said, "That's not what you said. Brother Yue should have been the ordering officer. Today's banquet was delivered by Zong Liushou in front of Brother Yue, who is considered the master. This order should be made by Brother Zhang." Tang Huai said, "It's wonderful, it's Brother Zhang." Zhang Xian said: " I won't make any orders, just say that an ancient man eats wine and wants to be a hero. If he can't tell, he will be fined three cups." Everyone said in unison: "Okay!" At that time, Wang Gui poured a full cup and offered it to Zhang Xian.Zhang Xian took a bite and said, "I'm talking about Guan Yunchang going to the meeting alone. Isn't that a hero drinking?" "Now it's time to be a good brother." Tang Huai also took it and ate it dry, and said, "I'm talking about Liu Jizi who killed a snake after he was drunk. Is he considered a hero?" Everyone said together: "Okay! We also respect each other One cup." The third time came to Wang Gui's house, and he also ate a cup and said, "I'm talking about Bawang's Hongmen Banquet, but can it be regarded as a hero eating wine?" Zhang Xian said: "Although Bawang is a hero, if you don't kill Liu Ji at this time, As a result, there was a subsequent defeat, and there were still shortcomings. I will be fined a cup. Now it's Brother Niu's turn." Niu Gao said: "I don't know about these antiques! It's just that I eat a few bowls of him and don't frown. You're a hero!" The four of them laughed and said, "Well, well, Brother Niu actually ate three cups!" Niu Gao said, "I'm also impatient with three cups and two cups, so I took a big bowl to eat two. That's the bowl!" Niu Gao took the big bowl and ate two bowls. Everyone said in unison: "It's time for Brother Yue to accept the order." Uncle Yue also poured out a cup and ate it dry, and said, "I'm only talking about the people from the Wei and Han Dynasties mentioned by all the virtuous brothers. It was Cao Wei, the son of Cao Bin. Zhang Le entertained the group of officials. Cao Wei was drinking at the banquet, but he disappeared for a moment, and threw the enemy's head at the banquet in a while. Isn't this a hero?" The brothers said: " Big brother speaks frankly, let's toast each other." Niu Gao said: "You guys talk about the present and the past in a polite way, how can I save it? It's just guessing riddles and eating wine." Wang Gui said: "That's right, you get up." Niu Gao didn't do it either. Rejecting, he guessed riddles with Beiren, lost several bowls in a row, and everyone ate better.The four brothers cheered and drank, and ate to their heart's content.Only Uncle Yue had something on his mind, thinking: "If the champion of martial arts is taken by the prince, our fame will come from his subordinates, how can we get a job?" On the table, he fell asleep. When Zhang and Tang met, they said, "It's such a pleasure to have wine with my eldest brother and talk about literature and martial arts! Today I just don't say a word. I don't know why?" Come, go to sleep on the couch next to you.Wang Gui had already had two extra cups, leaned on his chair and fell asleep.Niu Gao was the only one left, holding a big bowl by himself, he was still eating and looking up, he saw two fell asleep on the table, and he didn't know where they had gone, he thought to himself: "They are all asleep, why don't I Why not go to the street to see the scenery at this time?" Then he walked downstairs gently, and said to the master: "They have had an extra drink and fell asleep, so don't disturb him. Gong will come." The shop owner said: "Since that's the case, there is a wide open space in an alley to the east." Niu Gao said, "I know it myself." When I left the store, I watched Dongshou walking around and being crowded along the way, it was really lively.Unaware of the three-forked intersection, he stood on his feet and thought, "I don't know which way to go for fun?" Suddenly, he saw two people coming from the opposite side: one was dressed in white, nine feet long, and had a round white face; All in red, eight feet tall, with a rosy face.The two joined hands, talking and laughing.Niu Gao listened carefully, and the man in red said: "Brother, I have heard for a long time that Daxiangguo Temple is very lively here, let's go for a walk." , I thought to myself: "I also heard that there is a famous Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo. Why don't I go to play with them? Why not?" In front of Xiangguo Temple.But seeing the nine streams and three religions, those who are doing business and rushing to take advantage of it, it's so lively.Niu Gao said: "It's a good place! Even the eldest brother may not know that there is such a good place!" Then he followed those two into the Palace of Heavenly Kings, and saw a group of people in the east and a group in the west, all surrounded.The man in red pulled his hands towards the crowd and shouted: "Get out of the way!" When the crowd saw that he was coming fiercely, they all got out of the way.Niu Gao also followed in.exactly: Baiyun was originally an inadvertent object, but was drawn out by the breeze. I don't know what to do, let's listen to the next chapter.
