After Huang Shang was reported by Zhao Rong, he came to Tokyo Hall General's Office with the Ministry of War's customs document. Although he also gave him a valuable gift to the officials who came forward to receive him, the Hall General's Office still did not even mention Zhao Rong's position. He posted a number on the list of Zhao Rong, so he sent Zhao Rong home to wait for the summons, saying that when something happened, he called Zhao Rong to serve the Song court.

Zhao Rong, who was mentally prepared, was not too surprised. He said a few flattering words and bowed away, intending to go back and wait for a while to see if he could get the opportunity to plaster the border. If it really doesn't work, he would spend money to bribe Shangguan and take the position of real power in the activity.

In addition, Zhao Rong, who was very curious about Gao Qiu, must have inquire about Gao Qiu. Only then did he know that although Gao Qiu was the same general as him, he did not have time to become the commander-in-chief of the palace in front of the palace and was promoted to Taiwei. He is still accumulating military achievements in the northwest. He will not know when he will return to Kaifeng, Tokyo to serve.

He didn't particularly want to meet Gao Qiu, who was as notorious as Tong Guan. Of course, Zhao Rong was not particularly disappointed with this. After returning to his residence on Ansumen Street, Zhao Rong just wrote a letter to his father for good news, so that his father would know that he had become an eighth-rank military officer and handed it out to the official station. Then he said to Zhao Xiaoyi and Wu Song: "The matter is done, let's play in Tokyo for a while, and then think about other things!"

Have fun for a while? Zhao Rong found that he was too naive that night. When he came to Huang Shang to report the situation in the evening, he learned that Zhao Rong had successfully registered and was indeed arranged by the Palace Commander's Mansion to be at home. Huang Shang immediately said: "Very good, Rong'er, from tomorrow, you will come to me to learn the sutra after dinner every day. As a teacher, you should teach you the Four Books and Five Classics well, and strive to cultivate you into a pillar of the country."

"Every day?" Zhao Rong cried and screamed in his heart. This time I was going to be tortured by me.

"Why? I don't want to?" Huang Shang asked coldly, looking a little unhappy, obviously seeing that Zhao Rong didn't want to study.

"I'm willing, of course I'm willing." Zhao Rong said against his will: "It's the greatest honor for my disciple to be able to teach the scriptures personally. Is there any reason for his disciple to be unhappy?"

"That's good." Huang Shang hummed, and with bad intentions, he took out a ruler that had obviously been prepared long ago, patted his palm and said, "Let me clarify first, it is very strict for being a teacher. If you don't learn well, don't blame the ruler for being a teacher for being ruthless!"

From the second day, Zhao Rong's biggest wish every day was that the Song Dynasty court was busy with affairs, so that his teachers were busy with business and could not take time to teach his homework. But unfortunately, Song Huizong was a famous monarch. Even if the sky fell, he only wanted to eat, drink and have fun every day. Huang Shang, who was named a state consultant, basically had nothing to do every day, and there was time to train and repair Zhao Rong, a disciple, so every afternoon, in Huang Shang's residence...

"Remember the Analects of Confucius to me!"

"The Master said: Isn't it true to be a saying when learning and practicing it from time to time? Isn't it true to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it true to be a gentleman if people don't know and don't be angry? Isn't it true to be a gentleman if they are filial and brothers, but they like to offend superiors; people who are not good at offend superiors and they like to cause chaos are not...,...,...."

With a shout, the thick and large ruler whipped heavily on Zhao Rong's shoulder, and Huang Shang's roar also came into Zhao Rong's ears: "Not that happens! A gentleman is committed to the foundation, and the Tao is born! I can't recite it in the second paragraph. Didn't you say that you have read "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" well? This is also called "The Good Life" reading? Pick up the book and recite it for me from beginning to end!"

"The Master said: "If the father is here, observe his ambition; if the father is gone, observe his conduct; if the father is gone, change his way to his father in three years, he can be said to be filial, oh!"

"I'm so angry that I can read the wrong ones with a book. I can change my father's way for three years. Is it filial to me? There is no change! There is no change!"

"Pick up the brush! Practice calligraphy for me!"

"Oh my God! You are also called characters? One big and the other small, it is crooked like a dog crawling. When you were young, you didn't practice calligraphy? Practice with copybooks and practice from the basics!"

Huang Shang personally taught the result of a few days. Zhao Rong didn't even have time to go shopping on the street. He was beaten with a ruler on his body and face, which was so terrible that he couldn't be human. Huang Shang was also so angry that his blood pressure rose countless times. He was almost pissed to death by his apprentice. He screamed more than once: "Are you blind at the beginning? Why did you accept your apprentice? If you go out in the future, don't call me master again. I am the top scholar, I can't afford to lose this person!"

Fortunately, Huang Shang's strict supervision was not ineffective. After a period of hard practice, Zhao Rong's calligraphy has improved a little - at least he no longer wrote one big or one small, and he could barely be consistent in size. At the same time, he could recite the book in front of the book. Zhao Rong could also read "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" word by word, and he did not read any typos. Only then did Huang Shang's anger fade slightly and he got angry one or two times a day.

However, of course Zhao Rong could not bear such torture. He finally waited until the rest of the day. When Zhao Rong rubbed the purple all over his body, he was thinking in his heart and said, "No, it's better to find a way to go through Tong Guan as soon as possible and beg him to put me on the border and gild it. Otherwise, if this continues, I will be beaten to death by my master sooner or later."

Just as he was planning, a servant from the Huang family suddenly walked in and said to Huang Shang who was having tea and resting: "Alang, your fellow villager Li Gang has come, saying he is here to visit you."

"Li Gang?" Zhao Rong, who was moaning quietly, raised his ears and asked Huang Shang: "Master, your friend Li Gang, is his ethical principle? "

"Yes, what's wrong?" Huang Shang asked strangely.

"It's really a national hero Li Gang!" Zhao Rong was shocked and asked again: "Master, is Li Gang and Censor Li your hometown?"

"Yeah." Huang Shang nodded and said, "He is from Shaowu, Fujian, just like me."

"After a long time, Li Gang is actually a fellow villager with my master." Zhao Rong was surprised again, and out of respect for Li Gang, Zhao Rong quickly said, "Master, how about I go and greet Jingshi Li for you?"

"Okay, Li Gang is my husband's nephew, it's just right to go and greet me." Huang Shang also paid great attention to seniority and reminded him: "But remember, don't talk about Taiwei Tong and you in front of Li Gang, and don't let him know how you entered the officialdom."

"The disciple understands." Zhao Rong said with a smile: "The disciple is not stupid either. How can the imperial censor know about the disciple?"

After saying that, Zhao Rong quickly went out and ran to the Huang family to welcome Li Gang. As a result, the person who appeared in front of Zhao Rong was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. He looked solemn and looked solemn. He saw that he was a kind of honest official who was worried about the country and the people. Zhao Rong did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly bowed to Li Gang and said, "Last general Zhao Rong, have you ever seen the Censor Li?"

"Who are you from Mr. Huang?" Li Gang asked in surprise: "Why have I never seen you before?"

"The Mo Jiang is a disciple of Mr. Huang, and he is currently temporarily in the position of Deputy Chief Xuanjie of the Imperial Army." Zhao Rong replied: "The Mo Jiang has been working on Liangzhe Road before and came to Kaifeng, Tokyo ten days ago, so you have never met the Mo Jiang."

"So that's it. I really didn't expect that Mr. Huang had a disciple who was a military general." Li Gang smiled and asked again: "Is Mr. Huang here? I'll pass by here and come to visit him."

"I'm here." Zhao Rong said quickly: "Civil Li quickly ask me, my mentor is waiting for you in the hall."

Li Gang did come to visit Huang Shang by the way. After seeing Huang Shang, he first saluted Huang Shang as his nephew and called his uncle. Then he asked about Huang Shang's recent situation. Huang Shang was polite and offered to invite Li Gang to stay for dinner. Before Li Gang could agree, Zhao Rong, who really respected Li Gang very much, quickly took out his servants and handed them over to the Huang family's servants, and asked the Huang family's servants to go to the best Zuixiao Tower nearby to buy a table of good food to treat Li Gang, and specially told him to buy the best wine and food.

Seeing this, Li Gang was not easy to refuse, so he could only thank Huang Shang and Zhao Rong for their kindness, and then asked Huang Shang curiously: "Uncle Huang, have you never heard of you having disciples before? I don't know that the blessing of General Zhao can actually worship you as his teacher."

"I accepted it in Runzhou. At that time, I met him by chance. He sincerely became a disciple. When I saw that he was reluctant to learn, I accepted this disciple." Huang Shang answered vaguely and scolded Zhao Rong: "Rong'er, since you have the fate to know Jingshi Li today, you will ask him for more advice and knowledge in the future. Also, you are a military position, and you have the opportunity to ask Jingshi Li for more advice on military strategy. Do you know who Jingshi Li's father is? Li Kui, a famous general in our dynasty! Although Jingshi Li is a civilian, he has a lot of knowledge in military strategy and military use!"

Huang Shang's words reminded Zhao Rong, which suddenly reminded Zhao Rong of an important question - sooner or later he would go to the frontier to experience gilded, but he knew almost nothing about military strategy and formation. He would definitely have to start from scratch when he arrived at the frontier. He didn't know when he would learn a little. Instead of cramming for a while, why didn't he take this opportunity to learn something from Li Gang in advance? The Kaifeng Defense Battle commanded by Li Gang in history repelled the first large-scale attack of the Jin soldiers.

After thinking about this, Zhao Rong did not hesitate anymore and hurriedly said, "What Master taught me is that my disciple is also thinking about this. Jingshi Li, I am brave enough to ask you to teach you the secrets of using troops and formations. Please agree."

"No," Li Gang waved his hand quickly and said, "General Zhao, you are a military general. How can you ask me, a civil servant, to ask me for advice on using troops to deploy troops? Although I am a professor of my father and have learned some military tactics, those are all about military tactics. How can you, General Zhao, have a strong experience in fighting on the battlefield?"

"Censor Li must not be humble." Zhao Rong hurriedly said: "Although the last general is a military general, he has never learned how to arrange troops and arrange troops and military strategies. Please give me advice."

"This..." Li Gang was a little hesitant. Seeing Zhao Rong's sincere attitude towards studying, he looked at him with a bright look. As if he refused to agree, Li Gang changed his mind and thought about it before saying, "General Zhao, since you want to learn military strategies and placing troops from me, then I will ask you first. If you are the one who commands the army, how should you manage the army?"

It’s okay. Zhao Rong was not good at the time of Ziyue, but he had some research on military affairs. He answered without thinking: “Return to the Censor Li, if the last general was asked to lead the army, the last general would use eighteen words to govern the army.”

"Those eighteen words?" Li Gang asked again.

"Re-search and select, and practice carefully." Zhao Rong replied respectfully: "Public rewards and punishments, clear orders, strict discipline, and the joys and sorrows."

Li Gang was stunned and smiled at Huang Shang for a while, saying, "It turns out that a wise master has a great disciple. I really didn't expect that Uncle Huang's disciple was so young, and he could actually summarize such a concise and concise trick to command the army. It's just like every word is gem and concise."

"It's just a talk on paper, the key is whether he can do it." Huang Shang was modest for his disciple, and said in his heart that you must not be deceived by his mouth. I just fell for him and took him as a disciple. Now I can't even regret it.

"It's already pretty good. I dare to bet that although there are many generals in our dynasty, I'm afraid that if you can summarize these eighteen words, you may not even have half a century." Li Gang praised again, then calculated a little, and asked Zhao Rong: "General Zhao, in your opinion, what is the most basic trick to using troops?"

"It's as fast as the wind, as the forest." Zhao Rong immediately replied: "Invade like fire, as if it's still as if it's still as if it's not moving; it's hard to know how it's like the yin, as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it's as if it'

Li Gang smiled again and asked, "General Zhao, have you studied "The Art of War" a lot?"

"Report to Jingshi Li, I have read some." Zhao Rong said the truth this time. When practicing fountain pen calligraphy in the 21st century, Zhao Rong practiced the first fountain pen calligraphy book "The Art of War". After repeated practice, Zhao Rong did remember many of the paragraphs.

"Not bad, good foundation." Li Gang praised again, and then said, "General Zhao, let's do it. Since you are interested in learning how to arrange troops, then you can go to my house another day. I will copy all the formation maps left by my father and some of his experience in using troops to send them to you, hoping that they will be useful to you. In addition, if you don't understand anything when you are studying military strategy, you can also go to my house to ask me at any time. I will definitely tell you everything and say everything."

When Zhao Rong heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Li Gang, and said in his heart: "This is the best. With this excuse, I will definitely learn less of the Four Books and Five Classics. If I continue to learn this way, I will be beaten to death by my master one day."

Not to mention, maybe Zhao Rong is indeed talented in this regard. After a few days, he came to Li Gang's house to get the military arts and formation maps passed down by his family. Zhao Rong not only understood it at a glance, but also often published some experiences that Li Gang praised. As a result, Huang Shang saw that his apprentice was indeed good at this, and knew that his apprentice would go to the army to experience gilding one day, so he took the initiative to reduce Zhao Rong's studies in the Four Books and Five Classics, allowing Zhao Rong to free up time to learn military arts and formations well. Zhao Rong was also less beaten because of this.

That's not all. After a few more days of time, after finishing the day's homework, Huang Shang ordered Zhao Rong again: "Rong'er, I'll give you a day off tomorrow. After lunch, I'll change into clean clothes and come to me. I'll take you to celebrate the birthday of Xianggong Cai."

"Master, tomorrow is Xianggong Cai's birthday?" Zhao Rong asked hurriedly.

Huang Shang nodded and said, "Although my teacher has no friendship with him, he is the prime minister of the court after all, and he has a close relationship with Tong Daofu. He can't do it if he doesn't go to socialize."

"What gift should the disciple give?" Zhao Rong asked hurriedly.
