Xue Rengui himself is a living legend. Especially after joining the army, he could almost be said to be a battlefield, undefeated in a hundred battles, conquering Liaodong, defeating Khitan, and destroying Goguryeo. The most talked about "Three Arrows to Deter the Tianshan Mountains" was even more depressed, and Tiele was defeated by the nine surnames, and from then on, Tiele could no longer pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Xue Rengui was fifty-six years old, he had the greatest defeat in his life, that is, the defeat of Dafeichuan. If he was an ordinary famous general, after experiencing such a crushing defeat, he would probably ruin his previous reputation and would not even be included in the famous generals in the future. However, Xue Rengui's previous record was too prominent, so even if he had such a defeat, Xue Rengui could still be among the first-class famous generals in the history of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Xue Rengui's bad luck had just begun. After being dismissed due to his defeat, he was re-activated in less than a year. This time he served as the general manager of Jilindao, mainly to suppress some Goguryeo's remnants. However, behind these Goguryeo's remnants is Silla who has revenged his grudges.

When Silla was almost destroyed by Goguryeo, the Queen of Silla even wrote a letter to Li Zhi himself and sent embroidery made by himself. She almost claimed to be a concubine. However, when the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, Silla was greedy and wanted to annex the hometown of Goguryeo that was captured by the Tang Dynasty, so she has been secretly supporting the rebellion of the Goguryeo residents in recent years.

It is precisely because of the support of Silla behind it that the remnants of Goguryeo continued to rebel. For this reason, the court not only sent Xue Rengui, but also sent another important minister, Liu Rengui, who was the awesome person who defeated the Japanese navy at Baijiangkou and made the Japanese kneel down to the Tang Dynasty and called him father.

Although Liu Rengui was a civil servant, he was a military genius, especially good at water warfare. Originally, he was in charge of the navy and Xue Rengui was in charge of the army. With the cooperation of the two, the Silla king defeated Silla. The current Silla king was named Jin Famin, and he wrote several letters to Li Zhi to ask Li Zhi to discuss peace, but Li Zhi was treacherous and disagreed, and he was determined to destroy Silla and completely wipe out Liaodong. From this point of view, Li Zhi was really a ruthless person.

"Isn't this good? Why do you say that the old general Xue is in trouble?" Zhang Zong asked Xue Shao in confusion when he heard this. He just said that Xue Rengui was in trouble, but after hearing so much, there seemed to be no trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it soon, and it happened recently!" Xue Shao sighed at the end, and then told me about the troubles Xue Rengui had recently encountered.

It turned out that the court suddenly issued an imperial edict recently to recall Liu Rengui, who was in charge of the naval army, to serve in the capital. It was nothing, and he could have sent another general to take over the naval army. But he didn't know what the court was thinking, so he actually let Xue Rengui, who was in charge of the army, take over the naval army, and the army was under the control of another general Li Jinxing.

You should know that although Xue Rengui is a famous general, his best attitude is to command cavalry combat. When he first made his mark on the battlefield, he was alone, wearing a white robe, galloping across the battlefield. He had almost no one-piece enemy under his command. Later, most of the time he fought against the Hu people in the north and the Western Regions. Every time, he was with cavalry as the core and the enemies he killed were frightened.

But no one expected that the court would let Xue Rengui, a general who was good at cavalry warfare, command the navy. Although the navy and land armies had some similar tactics, there were actually big differences. Even if Xue Rengui wanted to start from scratch, he was over 60 years old and even if he wanted to learn, he would not have the energy.

"That's how it is. General Xue has been writing a letter recently, wanting the court to delegate the naval army to others. For this reason, he even wrote a letter to my mother, hoping that my mother would help him persuade his uncle. However, it is not convenient for my mother to intervene in such military and national affairs, so I'm afraid I can't help much. Now I don't know how the court will solve it?" Xue Shao finally spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Why did the imperial court recall General Liu from Liaodong? Don't you know that changing generals at the last minute is a taboo in the army?" Zhang Zong couldn't help but say annoyed when he heard this. It was already a fool to transfer Liu Rengui back suddenly, but now Xue Rengui, who is not good at water war, is in charge of the navy. This is simply a mess!

"I heard that, I just heard that, I don't know if it is true. However, the Dugushou you met last time was a well-informed guy. According to the information he found out, it seemed that cousin Hong suggested to his uncle that he transferred General Manager Liu from the front line." Xue Shao spoke again, and repeatedly emphasized that the source of the news was not reliable.

Zhang Zong frowned when he heard this. How could Li Hong do such a dizzy thing? Wouldn't he be worried about an accident in the Liaodong war?

"Brother Shi, let's not think about this matter for now. My cousin is coming back soon. You will know when you see him!" Xue Shao saw Zhang Zong frowned and immediately changed the subject. After saying that, he lifted the Wushi Bow on the shelf with both hands and asked with a smile, "Brother Shi, do you want to try it? See if you can pull the fiveshi hard bow open?"

Xue Shao's words immediately aroused Zhang Zong's interest. This is Xue Rengui's bow. You should know that Xue Rengui is famous for his good shooting, and the story of three arrows seizing Tianshan is well known to everyone. Maybe this bow is the bow he used when he shot Tieler people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong nodded excitedly, but if you want to use this bow, you have to do one thing, that is, hang the bow string. Weapons like bows and crossbows need to remove the strings when not in use, so as to maintain the curvature of the bow body and prevent the bow from being elastic.

However, this first step alone made Zhang Zong feel embarrassed, because no matter how hard the two of them used, they could not turn the bow body, let alone the bow string. Even the two of them used all their strength to make the bow body bend a little curved.

"Is this bow used by humans? I feel that it can be used as a crossbow?" Zhang Zong was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and then he said speechlessly that the crossbow was used to defend the city. It is said that when the string is turned, he needs to use a cow to pull the crossbow arms. The elasticity of the bow in front of him is so strong that he really doesn't believe that anyone can pull it with his hands.

"I don't believe it anymore. Call all the most powerful guards in the mansion!" Xue Shao also got angry at this time. It was second to not pull the bow. Today, he must hang the bowstring up!

Following Xue Shao's orders, four guards with a tiger back and a bear waist soon arrived. The arms of these people were thicker than Zhang Zong's thighs. One of them was the leader of the escort of the Princess's Mansion, named Zhou Yang. It is said that he had followed Li Ji to fight against Goguryeo and made many military achievements.

"Criminal, do you want to use this bow?" Zhou Yang, who was leading the way, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the bows carried by Xue Shao and Zhang Zong. When he followed Li Ji to conquer Goguryeo, Xue Rengui was the deputy general manager. He had seen the power of this bow with his own eyes. Not to mention Xue Shao, he didn't even dare to say that he could pull the bow halfway.

"Don't talk nonsense, come and help me hang the bowstring!" Xue Shao also heard what Zhou Yang said, and said with a tough look on his face. Of course, he knew that he couldn't pull it away, but now he was competing with this bow, so he had to hang the bowstring anyway.

Of course, Zhou Yang heard Xue Shao was stubborn, but he just smiled and said nothing. Then he stepped forward and took the bow and introduced: "Criminal, the method of raising bow strings is wrong. Generally speaking, there are two ways to raising bow strings. One is to stand the bow on the ground, grab the head with one hand and press it down, bend the bow body to a certain level and then hang the string. This is suitable for ordinary bows or people with more strength."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yang paused for a moment and then said: "The other type is called the back bow, which is specially designed to deal with this kind of hard bow..."

Zhou Yang said while demonstrating, but he leaned one end of the bow on the ground, and then asked someone to press the corner of the bow behind him to prevent it from sliding away. Then he stood in front of the bow and grabbed the other end of the bow, and then suddenly used force, just like a bow behind his back, and with the help of the strength of his waist and abdomen, the bow bent.

However, even though Zhou Yang's power was amazing, he could not bend his bow to the point of hanging the string. The other two guards also came forward to help. In addition to the guard behind, the four men finally hung the bow string.

"Criminal, the bowstring is hung up. Which one will come first, you or Mr. Zhang?" Zhou Yang held the bow in front of Xue Shao and Zhang Zong with both hands and asked with a smile.

Zhang Zong and Xue Shao looked at each other and had already given up on the idea of ​​testing the bow. This was not something human beings did at all, but Xue Shao turned his eyes to Zhou Yang and smiled: "Master Zhou, can you try to pull this bow?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang showed an eager expression when he heard Xue Shao's words. After all, the army advocated martial arts the most, and Xue Rengui was even more known as a sharp shooting. He had long wanted to try this bow, even if it couldn't be pulled open, it would not be embarrassing.

So Zhou Yang agreed immediately, and then tried to pull the bow in the open space outside. As a result, he turned red with his face and the blood vessels on his forehead burst out high, but in the end he could only pull half of it. As for the other guards, he could pull one third of it and smiled.

Seeing this, Zhang Zong and Xue Shao had no courage to try it. With their little arms and legs, Zhou Yang could beat them ten of them by himself. Facing this super tough bow, he was simply a dragonfly shaking pillar.

Finally, Xue Shao asked Zhou Yang and the others to take the bowstring down and put it back on the original airtight. He had only heard of Xue Rengui's courage before, but he heard it as a vain. He had no personal experience before, but now he has finally indirectly seen Xue Rengui's strength.
