"In early March of the second year of Longshuo, the Nine Tiele tribes gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses for a decisive battle with the Tang army in the Tianshan Mountains. More than a dozen Tiele fierce generals provoked in front of the battle. General Xue Rengui went to fight in person, killing three people with three arrows and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Tiele people were so frightened that they fled in defeat..."

Beside the bonfire in the camp, Ning Fu stood in the middle of the crowd, telling the martial arts teachers and students the story of "Three Arrows Fixed the Tianshan Mountains".

Ning Fu found that telling stories was more easily accepted by these young people than boring preaching.

In particular, the stories of these ancient famous generals can not only set an example for them and cultivate their patriotism for the country and the people, but also add some military explanations to the story telling to enhance their understanding of this aspect.

Ning Fu is a person who has written stories. In his previous life, he liked to listen to Mr. Shan's storytelling, so now he tells these stories vividly.

Most of the students in martial arts are young people from the military. These people come from low backgrounds. They didn't even have enough to eat when they were young, let alone spend money to listen to other people's stories.

Therefore, these young people listened attentively. Even instructors like Wu Wei sat in the back and listened silently. With more than two hundred people gathered together, there was only the sound of Ning Fu's storytelling and the sound of the bonfire burning.

After Ning Fu finished telling the whole story, he took a drink of water to moisten his throat and said, "What do you think after listening to this story?"

Someone immediately raised their hands. This was a rule Ning Fu had set for his students. If you want to speak, you must raise your hands. You can only speak when the instructor or you ask for it.

"Sun Meng!"

Ning Fu pointed at Sun Meng in the crowd and said.

This guy who was tired of learning had impure motives for coming to martial arts, but he performed very well during this period. Not only did he improve his physical fitness, he was also able to help the instructor complete many tasks, so Ning Fu also favored him.

"Xue Zheng, I have a question that I can't figure out."

Sun Meng stood up and said.

"what is the problem?"

"Since Xue Rengui has defeated the Tiele people, why did he kill hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war? As far as I know, the Tang Dynasty treated these barbarians with both kindness and power. They first conquered them and then recruited them, and then used them to contain other barbarians.

people."

Sun Meng asked with a confused look on his face.

Although he was not eager to learn, he had read history books and knew that Xue Rengui had made great achievements after the Battle of Tianshan, but he was impeached for killing prisoners. In the end, the Tang Dynasty court evened out his merits and demerits, and did not gain any benefit for Xue Rengui.

“That’s a good question!”

Ning Fu immediately praised him, and then glanced at everyone.

"The Tang Dynasty treated the Hu people with both benevolence and power. They conquered them first and then recruited them, but this also left many hidden dangers for themselves. The subsequent Anshi Rebellion was the outbreak of these hidden dangers."

Ning Fu paused for a moment and continued: "Xue Rengui, as a general, should have seen this hidden danger, especially since Tiele's strength was growing rapidly at that time, and he was about to replace the original Turks and become the new leader of the Tang Dynasty.

trouble on the frontier."

"So in this case, he directly killed hundreds of thousands of Tiele troops, which were also the elite of the Tiele people. After this battle, the rising momentum of the Tiele people was completely interrupted, and they could no longer become the Tang Dynasty.

Border troubles!"

"That's it, students are taught!"

Sun Meng saluted Ningfu solemnly.

Then Ning Fu asked several other students, some expressed their thoughts, and some raised their questions.

No matter what these students said, Ning Fu responded very seriously. Even if one of the students said that he should be Xue Rengui's second, Ning Fu also praised him a few times.

These martial arts students were supposed to learn from the famous generals in ancient times. Not even one of them, Xue Rengui, was even half of them. Ning Fu felt that the hard work he had spent was worth it.

When it was time to rest, Ning Fu asked his respective instructors to lead the team back to the tent to rest.

In fact, there is an inn next to it, but there are too many people there, and the inn cannot accommodate them at all.

Ning Fu took the initiative to set up camp outside, so that he could also exercise the students' abilities in this area.

However, when the instructor and students left, Ning Fu found that there was a person sitting behind and did not leave.

"Mr. Ye Guo! It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

When Ning Fu saw the man Qing Jin, he immediately stepped forward and saluted. He was none other than Zhao Ji's uncle, Zhao Zonghan.

"Uncle Qingping, you don't have to be polite. I'm old and I'm used to walking around after dinner. I didn't expect that your place is quite lively, so I came to take a look. I hope I don't disturb you?"

Zhao Zonghan said with a smile.

"What are you saying, Duke? I'm really looking forward to having you come to our martial arts camp!"

Ning Fu also said very politely.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Ning Fu found that Zhao Zonghan was a bit aloof and did not usually interact with others. However, he was proficient in calligraphy and painting and could chat with Zhao Ji very well.

"Uncle Qing Ping, I just heard you telling the students about Xue Rengui. The story was very good, but the murderous intention was too great. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war were killed at will. If this happened in this dynasty, I am afraid the minister would scold him.

Die!"

Zhao Zonghan changed the subject and said with a smile again.

"Although the matter of killing prisoners is controversial, martial arts is where military commanders are trained, so they must understand the truth!"

"What's the point?"

"Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!"

When Ning Fu said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Zonghan.

Zhao Zonghan was also startled by Ning Fu's cold expression.

He was from a royal family and always considered himself a scholar. His contacts were all gentle and elegant scholars. This was the first time he heard someone say such murderous words.

"The official chose Qing Pingbo to be in charge of martial arts. He is really a wise man!"

After Zhao Zonghan was silent for a moment, he finally praised him dryly.

Ning Fu also laughed and accepted the compliment happily.

Then Zhao Zonghan said goodbye and left, and Ning Fu did not stay.

In fact, Ning Fu had noticed it a long time ago. It is estimated that Zhao Zonghan came here because of his reputation as a great talent and wanted to make friends. He even had the same idea as Zhao Ji and wanted to create some poetry and harmony.

As a result, Zhao Zonghan was frightened by Ning Fu's words just now, which made him finally understand that Ning Fu and he were not the same person at all.

This also made Zhao Zonghan stop thinking about making friends, which was also Ning Fu's purpose. He didn't have the energy to deal with so-called scholars like Zhao Zonghan now.

Sure enough, in the following period, Zhao Zonghan never came to see Ning Fu again.

Zhao Ji often pestered Ning Fu, but Ning Fu had already figured out Zhao Ji's temperament.

Compared to poetry and poetry, Zhao Ji is actually more interested in playing, after all, he is a minor himself.

So whenever Zhao Ji came to see Ning Fu, Ning Fu would try his best to play with him. He even brought out playing cards, gathered a few people, and played with him all day long.

Zhao Zonghan could not stand Ning Fu's behavior of tempting Zhao Ji to play.

Zhao Zonghan had spoken to Zhao Ji several times in private, but as a future emperor, it would be strange for Zhao Ji to listen, and he would even scold Zhao Zonghan for meddling behind his back.

Under Ning Fu's influence, Zhao Ji studied less and spent more time playing.

Even Ning Fu was a little doubtful. If Zhao Jizhao continues to play like this, will the famous "thin gold body" appear again?

However, Zhao Ji's indulging in playing had its advantages. The team's schedule was not delayed at all, and with Ning Fu's urging, they finally arrived outside Gyeongju City a month later.

Qingzhou was an important military town of the Song Dynasty in the northwest. Although it was still some distance from the border, it was the rear area of ​​the northwest front line. Almost all the mobilization of military personnel and supplies had to pass through here.

As the hub of the northwest, Gyeongju's economy is of course also very prosperous, and most merchants traveling from south to north pass through here.

Officials of Gyeongju City had also received news of Zhao Ji's arrival early, so they greeted him outside the city gate early.

The leader was an old man with a resolute face and a slim figure. He was none other than the famous Zhang Kai.

"Observer, the well-behaved court suddenly sent a prince to serve as a supervisor. Is this because the court is guarding against us?"

A tall, fierce-looking middle-aged general next to Zhang Kai asked.

This middle-aged general is Zhe Keshi. He joined the army at the age of sixteen, has gone through more than hundreds of battles, and has made countless extraordinary achievements. In Xixia, his name can even stop children from crying at night!

"Wrong, this is because the officials trust us, so they sent the supervisory army. Otherwise, I might not even be able to stay in the northwest!"

Zhang Kai looked at his beloved general and explained in a low voice.

Zhang Kai was born as a Jinshi and worked as a local official for many years. Later, he entered the court and became a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, he was impeached and was demoted to the northwest as an official. However, he did not expect that Zhang Kai was quite talented in the military and became a member of the Song Dynasty.

A barrier to the northwest.

Therefore, Zhang Kai was very clear about the situation in the DPRK. In addition, he often exchanged letters with his cousin Zhang Dun, so he knew Zhao Ji's purpose of coming.

"Is this considered trust?"

Zhe Keshi looked confused. He was a fierce general on the battlefield, but he didn't know anything about the twists and turns in the court.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. All you need to know is that we have to entertain His Royal Highness Danwang well and let him eat and have fun in Gyeongju!"

Zhang Kai smiled again.

Zhao Ji, the supervisor, was basically a decoration, used to appease the emperor and the ministers. He knew this better than anyone else.

Zhe Keshi nodded when he heard the words, and then he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said with great interest: "A few days ago, my uncle wrote a letter saying that the imperial court had opened a martial arts school and asked him to teach the art of war.

, but was rejected by my uncle. I heard that this martial arts guy also came with me?"

"Yes, the officials were determined to rectify the martial arts, so they handed over the martial arts to Qingping Bo Ningfu. This time Ningfu also came with King Duan!"

Zhang Kai nodded.

When he mentioned Ning Fu, Zhang Kai couldn't help but look up at the official road in front of him.

Zhang Dun's letter to Zhang Kai already told him that it was Ning Fu's suggestion that prevented him from being transferred from the northwest, so Zhang Kai also owed a favor to Ning Fu.
