Chapter 37 Talking on Paper
The heavy rain was pouring, the Qin River surged, and the Anzhou Prefecture governor Song Shou turned into a Ze State. The hurricane hit, causing the ships to be unable to go out to sea. Therefore, Wang Yuwen, who was preparing to "personally fight" Jiaozhou, could only stay in Song Shou and wait for the rain to stop.
There are seasonal storms along the southeast coast in summer and autumn - hurricanes (typhoons). Of course, according to later meteorology, the tropical cyclones that appear in the Pacific Ocean are called typhoons, and the tropical cyclones that appear in the Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes.
But in this era, the people on the southeast coast called typhoons a "hurricane", that is, "frightening wind". If you want to go to sea, you can only wait for the hurricane to leave.
Li Fozi (King Wanchun), the governor of Jiaozhou of Chen, had an attempt to become a separatist. Yuwen Wen used the marching chief Murong Sanzang as a surprise soldier to raid Longbian Port on a sea ship provided by Feng, and directly took the Longbian of Jiaozhou Prefecture. He unexpectedly attacked him and forced Li Fozi to surrender within ten days.
Li Fozi and his generals followed him to surrender to the Zhou army. Murong Sanzang led his troops into the Dragon Fence, and Wanchun Kingdom was over.
Murong Sanzang sent an envoy to report the victory and arrived at Song Shou a day before the hurricane attack. Yuwen Wen breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the battle report, but the hurricanes that followed made his plan to increase the war and dragon troupe ruin, and everything could only be carried out after the hurricane.
On rainy days, any outdoor activities have to be stopped. Ordinary people will beat their children and wives at home or "create people" when they are idle. Yuwen Wen doesn't want to mess with women, so he can only rely on competitions to consume excessive energy.
The so-called martial arts competition is certainly not the kind of fight that sets a life-and-death situation. Yuwen Wen is a way to train his reaction ability: he carries his hands on his back, wears boxing gloves, and sways his fists to "slap in the face".
When he was still in that era, he once watched a video of boxing champion Ali standing in a corner of the ring, putting his hands away and letting his opponent slap his fists in the face. The boxing champion stared at the other party with wide eyes, turning his head over and over again to avoid the opponent's straight punches and uppercuts, which made people stunned.
This kind of avoidance technique tests a boxer's reaction, courage and judgment. He does not want to go to the ring, but to exercise his reaction and judgment.
The difference between civil and military affairs in this era is not obvious. It is normal for generals to enter and enter the superiors. When leading troops to fight, most of the commanders have to charge in person, so martial arts are indispensable, and Yuwen Wen is no exception.
The martial arts mentioned here are not boxing, footing, palming, and martial arts on the battlefield. The basic requirement is to be skilled in bows and horses, and then practice cavalry weapons such as horse spears, iron maces, etc.
Yuwen Wen did not intend to become a powerful general who was a thousand horse, but he must have a certain level of martial arts, the most basic strength, agility, and endurance training, but now the venue is limited, so he chose to find someone to "slap in the face" to pass the time.
You can only dodge, not fight back, which tests your eyesight, reaction and coordination ability. You can't just wait for the other party to punch, and you have to predict how the other party will punch. Of course, Yuwen Wen can't read the special abilities of mind skills. If you want to predict, you have to observe the movements of the other party's whole body.
When a person wants to use a straight punch, the "preparation movement" of his body muscle group and the "preparation movement" of his uppercut. In theory, as long as he can pay attention to the "abnormal movement" of his opponent's muscle group, he can judge what the other party will do next.
The premise is that you cannot be scared by the approaching fist and close your eyes, so you have to stare at the other person. Just predicting that the other person's movements are not enough, and your body's coordination ability must keep up, so this kind of exercise is easier said than done.
It took Yuwen Wen eight years to be beaten countless times during the training. He suffered from countless hardships to develop this kind of vision and reaction ability.
After dodging more than a dozen punches in succession, Yuwen Wen's movements looked very cool. Although there would be no unscientific phenomenon such as "afterimage", it demonstrated how agile he was.
He was secretly proud of his heart, but he was deceived by a fake move. Then he was hit by the opponent with a right hook in the cheek with a "bang". He was unable to stand firm on the spot and almost fell to the ground.
"Master!"
The trainer was so scared that he quickly stepped forward to support him. Although he was wearing boxing gloves and Yuwen Wen also had a headgear, the uppercut was full of power, and Yuwen Wen was beaten to the point of grinning.
However, Yu Wen Wen did not get angry at all. He pulled off his head and covered his face and smiled: "Oh, you guy has made more progress, and your fake moves are becoming more and more realistic."
The trainer touched his head embarrassedly. He was the guard of the mansion, of course he was a foolish person. If the king asked him to really beat him, he would really beat him. He didn't know how to deliberately let the king stay "unbeaten". But it was precisely because of this that Yuwen Wen's exercise achieved real results.
Wang Jun, who was watching on the side, saw Yu Wenwen's cheeks swollen. When he had not yet followed the article, he also danced with swords and sticks to play with stone locks. He followed a group of people to hang out on the streets of Chang'an for the sake of the golf, but he had never seen such a way of training.
"Do you want Jingwen to practice? Let them know your skills."
"Ah, I have never practiced this kind of dodging skills, so I'm afraid I can't dodge a few punches." Wang Jun politely declined Yu Wen Wen's kindness. Seeing that the other party's face seemed to be swollen, he advised carefully:
"King, the head is damaged, even if it is not injured, there will be endless troubles. Please do not forget the story of King Wu of Qin."
"I know how to behave, so don't worry."
During the Warring States Period, King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, advocated martial arts, liked to compete with others, and liked to make friends with some strong men. As a result, he played with it while lifting a cauldron and was killed by a heavy bronze cauldron. Wang Xu used this story to advise Yu Wen Wen to have a degree in training.
The head is one of the most fragile parts of the human body. Even if the head accidentally hits the door frame when entering the door, it will make people dizzy, let alone being hit by someone's heavy punch. Wang Hu was worried that Yu Wen Wen would sooner or later something would happen to King Wu of Qin when he exercised like this.
"Jing Wen has also practiced martial arts, can you know how to avoid arrows?"
After hearing Yuwen Wen’s question, Wang Jun replied: “You must avoid arrows, at least you can’t blink, otherwise you will not be able to see the direction of the arrows clearly, so why do you dodge?”
"Yes, the most common killing of people on the battlefield is not a horse spear or a long sword, but an arrow. If you want to avoid arrows, you must at least know where the arrows are shot. But people are always afraid. When you are afraid, you will involuntarily close your eyes. So why should you hide from them?"
Yuwen Wen began to talk about his experience on the battlefield. Although he had not experienced too many fierce battles, he was actually talking about war on paper: "The big fist hits you with a sand bowl, which is as exciting as a feather arrow. If you want to hide, you have to open your eyes and see if you are beaten too much, you will not be afraid."
'Your mind will be broken at that time...' Wang Xu thought so. Of course, he could not say it, but the commander of the first army must have some martial arts. Not to mention taking the general's head among the troops, at least the battle situation is not good and can protect himself when he leads his troops to break through.
After getting in touch with Yuwen Wen for a long time, he realized that this person was really good. However, the King of Xiyang was outstanding in his military achievements but was not famous for his bravery. Wang Jun felt that Yuwen Wen might have maintained a certain intensity of exercise only for the purpose of strengthening his body.
The guards on the side looked at the pocket watch and stepped forward to remind Yuwen Wen that "time is coming." Yuwen Wen and Wang Jun moved to another room together with him. Wang Meng had been waiting in the room for a long time.
It’s rainy day, Yuwen Wen will never be idle, so apart from exercise, he just needs to find someone to talk about it on paper. The content of this discussion is how to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou.
Li Fozi's Wanchun Kingdom was over, but this does not mean that Jiaozhou will be calm from now on. As the governor of the military affairs of Lingnan, Yuwen Wen faced the next problem, how to ensure that Jiaozhou will not be repeated after the main force of the Zhou army retreats.
Even now that we are just talking about the war on paper, we must analyze the possibilities to decide how to use war next.
He summoned troops in Anzhou, indeed with the intention of deceiving Li Fozi, but even though the official army had recovered the Long Group, the troops summoned by Yuwen Wen still gathered towards Song Shou, and the war had not yet subsided.
The blood has not flowed enough.
