After leaving the palace, Zhao Tong first went to Fang Han's Privy Council to receive the seal, and then went to Fan Quan's Palace Commander's Mansion to allocate troops to the camp. Then he went home and waited to officially take office tomorrow.

In the house, Yao Pingzhong rides a horse and Huang Gu dances a sword.

Zhao Tong stood there for a while and watched Huang Gu's sword skills, then said: "Isn't this the Qingyou Fist?"

Huang Gu said while dancing: "Master, it is Qingyou Fist, now it is called Qingyou Sword."

Zhao Tong saw Huang Gu's sword dance getting slower and slower, and frowned: "Why is it still slowing down? You can't lift the Xuantie Sword because you haven't eaten enough in the morning?"

Huang Gu put away his sword and said in a low voice: "Master, I am studying the sword-breaking style..."

"Breaking Knife Style?" Zhao Tong sneered: "I saw you perform a Whip-Breaking Style last year, but I didn't think it was very good. Now you're studying the Breaking Sword Style again?"

Huang Gu smiled sheepishly and said: "There are few people who use whips, so it's difficult to find an opponent to practice with. Most people use knives, so it's easier to study."

Zhao Tong said: "Wouldn't it be true that the more people use it, the more difficult and complicated it will be to break it?"

Huang Gu said: "Master, that's not the case. Although weapons like knives are more versatile than whips, they can only be used in the same way, cutting, wiping, peeling, picking..."

"When can the sword be broken?" Zhao Tong interrupted him.

"Broken sword?" Huang Gu suddenly looked bitter when he heard this and said: "Master, the sword cannot be broken!"

Zhao Tong said: "How can I not break the sword?"

Huang Gu said: "Using a sword to break a sword is like using one's own spear to attack one's own shield. How to break it?"

"What do you mean, the same weapons can't defeat each other, and we can only use each other's tactics to fight normally?" Zhao Tong said.

"That's right..." Huang Gu said.

Zhao Tong touched his chin and said nothing, then walked into the central hall with his hands behind his back.

There were no furnishings or decorations in the central hall. The mansion was empty when we moved in. All the valuable and useful things had been removed by the original owner. Zhao Tong glanced around, did not call the two of them, and went to the back to boil water.

Tea.

While drinking, he thought about Li Zhu's words in the court, and thought to himself that if he used those seven spear techniques to resist the enemy, how would he be able to resist the opponent's sword? After much thought, he felt that it must be a quick sword.

In fact, most short-hand soldiers take the fast path, because swords, hooks and rulers are not heavy enough, and most of them hurt the enemy with their sharp edges, so they need to use the word "quick".

Liyanaza's sword is on the fast track, and Zhong Lingxi's Yuanyue Sword is also on the fast track.

As for what the trick is? The trick is the means to break the fast track!

The tricks are exquisite, they can contain the opponent's speed, they can make up for their own lack of speed, they can... kill people!

The same is true for using subtle tricks against invincible strength.

Generally speaking, the weight of the horse makes the horse dismount quickly, but the tricks play the same role in it, restraining the force to control the speed.

So tricks are also very important.

Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the opponent is not as powerful or as fast as the opponent? Then just admit defeat and there is no need to fight again.

Zhao Tong thought for a long time. He had never seen Li Assistant take action, so he could not judge how fast the other party was. He thought he should ask Du Bu. After all, Du Bu had fought against Li Assistant and knew the opponent's sword speed.

After he finished drinking a pot of tea, Yao Pingzhong's voice came from outside: "Little Dia, are you looking for my master?"

Then came Dia's voice: "The general asked me to come over and ask for General Li. He said he had military information to ask for advice."

Yao Pingzhong smiled and said: "Little Dia, I just realized that your clothes are similar in color to my horse, both are apricot!"

Dia said: "Big man, what do you mean?"

Yao Pingzhong said: "It's not interesting, the colors are really similar!"

Dia said: "Big man, are you saying I'm a horse?"

Yao Pingzhong said: "I don't. Who told you to always wear yellow clothes? I can't change the color of my horse, but your clothes can be changed!"

"You!" Dia said angrily: "You have to control what color clothes I like to wear!"

Hearing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhao Tong walked out of the door, looked at the two and frowned.

Dia ran over and said: "General Li, Yao Meng bullied me!"

Yao Pingzhong muttered: "Who told you to ridicule me last time that this horse is of blood horse blood..."

Zhao Tong glared at Yao Pingzhong and said, "Diya, is there something wrong with General Shangguan?"

Dia said: "The general said he didn't understand much about leading troops, so he asked General Li to go over and ask for advice. He also said he would treat General Li to roast lamb in the evening, and asked Yao Meng and the others to come over and help."

Zhao Tong nodded. It had been a few days since the Luzhou Challenge. He was in the same palace as the other party and lived next door. His interactions were normal. He smiled and said, "It's hard to buy a whole sheep now. Your general has some tricks." ."

Dia looked around and whispered: "It was sent by brothers and sisters of the family."

Zhao Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "With such means, they are not ordinary brothers and sisters."

Dia said: "General Li can see it when he goes over. It's such a big sheep. I have to go back and prepare first."

After she said goodbye, Yao Pingzhong saw her walking away and came up to him and said, "Master, do you have any roast sheep to eat?"

Zhao Tong nodded: "You and Huang Sheng get ready and go there together."

Huang Gu was fine, Yao Pingzhong took care of the horse, and then the two of them followed Zhao Tong out.

The house next door is equally plain, with no one else except Liyanaza’s master and servant.

Liyanaza changed into a bright dress, put on silver jewelry on her head, and a pair of white soft leather boots. Although her appearance has not changed, her temperament is cool, her figure is slim and graceful, and she is graceful.

Zhao Tong said: "I was invited by General Shangguan, but Li Fei is late."

The drama that should be performed still needs to be performed. After all, the house is not big. If you are in the courtyard and there are people outside the wall, you will most likely hear it.

"Sorry to bother General Li. I have never been in contact with soldiers. I don't understand some things. It is really reckless of me to ask General Li for advice." Liyana said calmly.

Zhao Tong nodded, lowered his gaze slightly, and looked at Liyanaza's white boots. He suddenly remembered the scene in Longyou's ruined city, and couldn't help feeling that time flies so fast. It has been almost two years since he went to Longyou.< /p>

Liyanaza saw this and said: "General Li, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Tao smiled, and Liyanaza immediately took back her boots and said, "The sheep are behind, Diya will take care of them, but it's best to have someone to help."

Zhao Tong turned around and glanced at Yao Pingzhong and Huang Gu. Not to mention Huang Gu, Yao Pingzhong should be the best among them. There should be no one in the Western Army who can't roast sheep.

Seeing Zhao Tong's gaze, Yao Pingzhong immediately stepped forward and said: "Two generals, even a villain is good at this kind of thing, so I can help."

Several people came to the backyard. It used to be a garden, but since Wang Qing conquered Huaixi, the previous owner fled with his family, and the garden was deserted. Now it is overgrown with weeds and wild flowers everywhere. A fat sheep is tied to a small tree. On the tree, he was lowering his head and gnawing at the green grass below.

Yao Pingzhong's eyes lit up and he said: "What a big fat sheep. Such sheep are rare in the city now."

Dia said: "Big man, are you really good at roasting sheep? Are you bragging!"

Yao Pingzhong said: "Such a trivial matter is nothing to brag about. Just look at my methods."

He picked up the tools next to him and walked towards the fat sheep. As he walked, he said: "I'm going to slaughter the sheep. Huang Sheng will dig a hole and get some branches and charcoal fire. Xiaodia will bring all the salt, spices and spices. By the way." , take some vegetable oil if you have it."

When the two heard the words, they both walked over and obeyed.

Seeing that things were getting busy, Liyanaza said: "General Li, please go sit in the room, I have something to ask for advice."

Zhao Tong followed Liyanaza back to the front hall. After closing the door, he heard Liyanaza say: "Li Fei, the Song army..."

Zhao Tong said: "I brought it."

Liyana said: "When I asked you why you came to Luzhou to compete, it turned out to be for this purpose."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Wang Qing must be destroyed, but..."

Liyana said: "But I heard about the battle in Huaixi, and it seems that your Imperial Army in Tokyo is not as good at fighting as the Western Army?"

Zhao Tong chuckled but had no words.

Liyana frowned at him and said for a moment: "Li Fei, aren't you very strategic? Why do you want to take such a risk? It's okay for ordinary people to sneak into Luzhou City. With your identity, if there are any mistakes, what will happen?"

No..."

Zhao Tong glanced at Liya Nazha's little boots, thought for a moment and said: "Taking risks is just a matter of strength. The pony sees the big horse crossing the river and thinks it's risky, but he doesn't know that the water in the river only reaches the big horse's waist.

."

Lianaza shook her head: "Are you talking about my lack of strength? Is it that pony? But I don't know that the river is also dangerous, and there are also ferocious beasts. How can you judge whether you can cross the river based on the height?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "General Shangguan, are you worried about me?"

Liyana said: "I'm too lazy to care about you. Do you think you can defeat Mr. Li Zhu, the golden sword man?"

Zhao Tong said: "Although Li Zhu is extraordinary in martial arts, how can he determine the outcome of the battlefield? And I may not actually fight with him. I came to Luzhou this time just to find an opportunity. Now you are in a better position than me, but you are actually

In charge of a city gate, Wang Qing entrusted such an important task to me, but I never expected it."

Liyana said: "Among the ten people, I am the most flawless. It is rare for a woman to be a spy, and I am from outside the northwest Song Dynasty. There is no lie in this matter. What's more... I am not a spy in the first place!"<

/p>

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "That's right. If I were Wang Qing, I would trust you more than those small village owners."

Liyana asked: "What are you going to do? The army is slowly pressing on Luzhou. Is it possible to face the attack directly?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "How is this possible? If that were the case, why would I sneak into Luzhou and just rush over to attack the city?"

Liyanaza seemed to have thought of something, and hummed: "Longyou used his conspiracy at that time, otherwise those Tibetan soldiers would not be my opponent!"

Zhao Tong laughed and said: "I didn't come up with that plan, and that plan can only be used in small places like Longyou Military City. It may not be successful in larger areas!"
