Chapter 27 Master and Disciple Discussion
Behind Jianfeng is a slightly childish woman in red.
But there is a feeling of heroic appearance.
That sword was fast enough, stable enough, and accurate enough. It must have been a profound skill.
Just when Wei Yuan secretly guessed the identity of the other party, the sword had already come to him.
Wei Yuan responded calmly, dodged the sword edge sideways, and asked with a smile:
"But sister Guifen?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Guifen. She sheathed her sword and stood up, frowning slightly.
"How do you know it was me?"
Wei Yuan said: "I heard from the teacher that he has a daughter who likes to wear red clothes and is good at using swords, guns, swords and halberds."
Apart from Zhang Guifen, who was loved by Zhang Fu and his wife, who else could be someone who looked young and dared to use a sword in the British palace?
Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "My sister is brave, please ask brother Wei for some advice."
After saying that, he stabbed out another sword.
Wei Yuan was still dodging, "The speed of this sword alone is enough. If you can use the strength on your wrist more skillfully, you can be called a master in swordsmanship."
In addition to the careful teachings of Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai, his martial arts skills were also learned through fighting on the battlefield.
In a chaotic battle, the sword has no eyes. If you want to avoid being injured, your reaction speed is required to be extremely fast.
Therefore, even if Zhang Guifen has good speed, it is difficult to hurt Wei Yuan at all.
Zhang Guifen stabbed a few more swords in succession, but he skillfully dodged them all, and then said a few words.
It feels like a heavy punch hitting cotton.
Simply, Zhang Guifen stood up with her sword in hand and said displeasedly: "No fight, Brother Wei, you are so boring, you just know how to hide here and there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan was about to explain something.
Then I heard Zhang Fu coming from a distance and said loudly:
"Yuan'er is born with divine power and agility. He only strikes to kill the enemy. If he is really serious, do you think you can stab the second sword?"
Just now, when he heard that someone came to report that Zhang Guifen was standing at the gate of the mansion to stop the guests from using their swords, he became furious and came here quickly.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Guifen felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She quickly handed the sword in her hand to the maid beside her, trotted to Zhang Fu, took his arm, and said with a smile:
"Dad, I'm just having fun with brother Wei."
Zhang Fu snorted coldly, "That's outrageous! This is the first time your brother from the Wei family came to our house. Is this how you treated guests?"
Zhang Guifen explained: "Dad, you always say that the brothers of the Wei family have superb martial arts skills and are hard to match among their peers. This is not why my daughter wants to learn from you."
Zhang Fu said angrily: "Are you still reasonable? Starting from tomorrow, we will be banned from practicing martial arts for one month!"
Zhang Guifen was still young and loved to play. When she heard about the ban, she panicked and begged her mother for mercy:
"Mother, look at dad, your daughter is just competing with brother Wei."
Mrs. Zhang unexpectedly changed her expression and said with an unhappy expression:
"That's enough! What kind of behavior is it for my daughter to dance with swords and guns all day long? It's also good for you to allow you to be grounded and reflect!"
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen felt incredible.
In the past, when my father taught me a lesson, my mother would always stand up and persuade him.
Helpless, she looked at her three brothers again.
But they saw the three people looking to the left and right, but ignoring Zhang Guifen.
Seeing this, Wei Yuan felt funny, and first bowed to Zhang Fu and his wife:
"Disciple pays homage to his teacher, my wife."
Then he said a few words for Zhang Guifen,
"Sister Guifen just wants to discuss things with me. She has no ill intentions."
There was indeed no malice, otherwise the sword thrust out earlier would never have reminded him to be careful.
Zhang Fu sighed and said, "Yuan'er, my little girl is so naughty and makes you laugh. Don't worry, I will teach her well when I have time to be my teacher."
At this time, Mrs. Zhang took a serious look at Wei Yuan. He was tall and handsome, with a majestic appearance.
It was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
There was a pause.
Mrs. Zhang came to Wei Yuan's side and smiled kindly:
"Fern'er is not like this usually. Yuan'er must not be angry because of this. In the future, your teacher and I will strictly discipline her."
"Since your teacher returned to the court, he has been talking about you to his wife at home all day long. I finally see you."
"Good boy, the food and wine are ready. Let's have a nice drink with your teacher tonight."
When Wei Yuan heard what the two elders said, he always felt that something was not right.
Zhang Guifen was a little casual, but it was just a discussion with herself, not a big deal.
Why do the two elders act like they want to teach Zhang Guifen a lesson?
Even if the visitor is a guest and a disciple, no matter how good she is, she can't be compared to a precious daughter, right?
He glanced at Zhang Guifen, who was bowing his head in silence, feeling even more amused, and said:
"Master's wife, you are serious. Sister Guifen is free and easy, and she lives up to the reputation of a tiger girl. Such a girl is straightforward and innocent. It's too late for her disciples to like her, so how can she be angry?"
The love he talks about is the love that a brother has for his sister.
After all, Zhang Guifen was too young, and it was the first time they met, so how could they develop a crush on each other?
However, when Mrs. Zhang heard what he said, her eyes lit up.
"Yuan'er really thinks Guifen is good like this?"
Zhang Fu, who was standing aside, was always paying attention to Wei Yuan's expression.
After Zhang Guifen heard this, she suddenly raised her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Wei Yuan, feeling quite fond of him in her heart.
In Bianjing City, who among the nobles and officials of her age would not secretly say that it is a bit outrageous for her to be a woman who dances with swords and guns all day long?
But Wei Yuan didn't say that.
"Of course it's good." Wei Yuan said subconsciously: "There has always been no shortage of gentle women in this world, but what is lacking is women like Sister Guifen."
He really couldn't find a good word to exaggerate Guifen.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she laughed even more happily. She remembered something and glared at Zhang Guifen behind her,
"Why don't you apologize to your brother from the Wei family?"
Zhang Guifen didn't dare to disobey, and she also had a good impression of Wei Yuan. She also knew that she had done something too much.
Wrong is wrong, there is nothing to be afraid of admitting, so just when she was about to apologize to Wei Yuan, she heard Wei Yuan shook his head and said:
"Sister Guifen, no need, even if what you did was not appropriate, I am also a brother, how can I let you apologize."
Before Zhang Guifen said anything, Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed and thought to herself:
"Knowing how to take care of Fen'er's emotions, and having the tolerance to tolerate others, and not disgusted with Fen'er's martial arts, what a good child."
Wait until everyone came to the main hall.
Wei Yuan first took out the gifts for the two elders.
He also gave gifts to the three sons of the Zhang family, including a hardcover edition of "Wei Gong Bing Fa", a sword, and a crossbow.
As for Zhang Guifen, he gave her a hairpin.
Although they were not expensive gifts, they were at least polite.
As for giving women gifts, he couldn't think of anything except hairpins, rouge, etc.
As the only daughter of the Duke of Ying, how could she lack jewelry on weekdays?
Every year on her birthday, the palace would send her a bunch of jewelry.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if she changed a hairpin every day, she would never wear the same one all year round.
But she still happily took the hairpin given by Wei Yuan, playing with it in her hands, treating it as a treasure.
During the meal.
Wei Yuan and the three sons of the Zhang family had a good chat.
They often heard their father talk about this senior brother in front of them.
Now he is a hero defending Yanmen.
Which son of a military hero doesn't like to communicate with such a hero?
If Zhang Fu and his wife were not around, even the three of them would have wanted to become sworn brothers with Wei Yuan on the spot.
However, this did not stop them from calling him "Brother Wei".
Zhang Guifen, who was standing aside, chose to remain silent and listened carefully to what Wei Yuan saw and heard at the border.
She also heard him tell about defending Yanmen.
Although Wei Yuan only said a few simple words, as a daughter of a general, she had read military tactics and played sand table since she was a child.
How could she not know the danger?
She admired Wei Yuan even more, and even couldn't help but secretly said in her heart:
"Brother Wei is really a great hero."
After eating and drinking.
Zhang Fu asked the three sons of the Zhang family to go back and rest first.
He winked at his wife again.
Mrs. Zhang immediately understood, took Zhang Guifen's hand and left.
She turned to the screen in the main hall and quietly listened to the conversation between the master and the apprentice.
Zhang Fu first asked about some serious matters,
"What did you say to the emperor when you entered the palace today?"
Wei Yuan concealed part of the matter and only talked about the military training.
Zhang Fu said seriously: "Do you have confidence in the military training method you created?"
Wei Yuan did not dare to be arrogant, "It is hard to say now without actual combat, but the army of our Great Zhou has accumulated problems for a long time. If it continues like this, it will be just a bunch of scattered soldiers."
"Liao and Xixia are eyeing our Great Zhou covetously. If we don't seek change now, one day they will send heavy troops south, and our Great Zhou will be in danger."
He didn't want his descendants to experience the Jingkang shame.
Zhang Fu said: "You are so young, but you have come up with a new way of training soldiers. From this point of view, even we veterans are not as good as you."
"It's just that you have never served in the central government, and you don't know that if you want to defeat Liao and Xixia, the army is secondary."
"Today, you and I are master and disciple. There are some things that I might as well tell you. It may help you analyze the current situation."
At this point, Zhang Fu changed his tone and said solemnly:
"The emperor wants to solve the problem of redundant soldiers all day long, and wants to train new troops. But even if the new troops are really trained, they are scattered all over the place and it is difficult to unite them."
"If a military general is allowed to lead, the emperor will never allow it."
"Whenever we were fighting outside, those scholars in the temple had not read many books on military tactics, and had never even been to the battlefield, nor had they seen the bloody scene of soldiers fighting bravely."
"But they dared to point fingers at the battle in front of them in the Xuanzheng Hall, relying on a mere sand table, and sometimes they would instruct the front-line generals to fight and kill the enemy."
"That's fine, the most important thing is that warriors are born inferior to scholars. This was the case when Di Gong was here, and it was also the case when Fan Xianggong was here."
"Teacher, I know your ambition. Recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is what all warriors of our generation want to do. However, with the current situation of the country, it is extremely difficult to protect yourself without major changes."
Let's not talk about anything else.
Let's just talk about the time when Zhang Fu resisted Yelu Renxian's invasion.
If he was not in a high position and had the trust of the government.
It would be difficult to carry out the strategy of Wei Wei to save Zhao.
Because, those great officials in Bian Jing would think that after detailed sand table simulation, they would act according to their plan, and everything would be fine.
But the battlefield situation changes rapidly.
By the time the news from Bian Jing reached the border, tens of millions of soldiers had already died.
Zhang Fu only told Wei Yuan some of the most basic issues.
To go deeper would be a taboo, and Wei Yuan needed to figure it out on his own.
