Chapter 471 Yang Wenguang's request
"Study Supervisor stay!" Just as Li Zhang was about to leave the dormitory of martial arts, he unexpectedly was suddenly stopped by a tall and strong man. When he saw the other party, Li Zhang was also quite surprised because this person was Yang Wenguang, the oldest student in martial arts.
"It turns out it's Brother Yang San. I wonder what's wrong with you calling me?" Li Zhang also smiled and asked. Yang Wenguang was not Yang Yanzhao's only son, but ranked third in the family. He was older than Li Zhang and used to work in the imperial guards, so Li Zhang couldn't call him by his name, so he called the other party Yang San Ge like Cao Qi and others.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Wenguang is now one of the celebrities in the capital. Especially last year, most of the capital was talking about him, mainly because he ignored his identity and went to martial arts to study with a group of young people who could be his son. Even his son was only one level lower than him. This can be called a strange story. In addition, the Yang family is famous, so it naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, most of these people are laughing at Yang Wenguang for being unconventional.
"Li Xueshen, I have something I want to ask for your help!" Yang Wenguang hesitated for a moment before speaking. He was not the first martial arts student, but because of his excellent performance and age, Cao Wei and Li Zhang both agreed to let him graduate with Cao Qi and others one year in advance.
"You don't have to be polite, Brother Yang, just say anything if you have anything!" Li Zhang smiled again. He was also quite interested in Yang Wenguang and wanted to have more contact before. Unfortunately, because Liu E was sick and died some time ago, he had no time to learn martial arts, so he didn't have much deep friendship with Yang Wenguang.
"This..." Yang Wenguang hesitated again at this time, then gritted his teeth and said, "School Supervisor, I know my request is a bit too much, but I still hope you can promise me not to transfer me to the Hebei Army. I want to go to the Northwest Army, and the closer you are to the border, the better!"
"Uh? Don't you want to go to the Hebei border army?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this. In fact, it was the first time he knew that Yang Wenguang was assigned to Hebei. But it was normal to think about it. His father Yang Yanzhao was a famous general in Hebei. The guarded Suicheng was even called "Tiesuicheng" by the Liao army. With such achievements, it was normal for Yang Wenguang, as his son, to be sent to Hebei.
"Yes, I think Hebei is not suitable for me, so I would rather go to the northwest!" Yang Wenguang nodded again and said with certainty. In fact, he had long wanted to find someone to help transfer himself to the northwest. However, Cao Wei was old and didn't take much care of the matter. He should have looked for Li Zhang, but Li Zhang was in the palace all day long, and other people in martial arts were unwilling to help, so he was very helpless.
"Why do Brother Yang want to go to the northwest? If you can give me a reason to convince me, I can consider it." Li Zhang was silent for a moment before looking up. Yang Wenguang is a rare talent, and what's even more rare is that he is firm in his will. Even if countless people outside laugh at him, he is still unmoved. If such a person is used well, his future will not be limited.
Hearing Li Zhang's words, Yang Wenguang also showed a hesitant expression again, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not hiding the school supervisor. I came to martial arts to go to the border army to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. But now the Hebei area is relatively calm, and it is difficult to have any major wars. On the contrary, the northwest races are mixed, and there are constant wars between big and small. It is the place where men make achievements, and..."
When Yang Wenguang said this, he suddenly paused, which made Li Zhang ask very keenly: "And what?"
"And I'm sure there will be a big battle in the northwest!" Yang Wenguang hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
Li Zhang was shocked when he heard Yang Wenguang's words, but on the surface he asked calmly: "Oh? Why did Brother Yang San have this idea?"
"I have been in the imperial guards for so long and have made some friends. A few days ago, a few friends saw me off and found some news from them, such as the imperial court was mobilizing food and grass to the northwest, and several elite troops in the northwest also received orders to step up their training. Although these things are very secret, as long as you think carefully, you can still guess some things!" Yang Wenguang said again at this time.
Li Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was worried that the secret of attacking Dangxiang would be leaked, but he didn't expect that Yang Wenguang inferred from some clues. However, it was normal to think about it. After all, the court mobilized supplies and actively prepared for war, even if it was done secretly, it would not be possible to hide it from everyone. As long as you inquire, you would definitely find out some news.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang also looked at Yang Wenguang again. Compared with young people like Di Qing and Cao Qi, Yang Wenguang was already in his thirties. Although this age was the golden age of men, it was actually the age when a person began to age, so others could wait, but Yang Wenguang couldn't wait. If he wasted a few more years, he would probably only fight under Di Qing, who was far younger than him, as in history, and finally he could not lead his troops alone until he was in his sixties. But at that time, he might not be able to carry his sword and get on his horse and kill the enemy.
"Okay, since Brother Yang San is unwilling to go to Hebei, I will help you adjust it. After you set off with the people who go to the northwest, I will arrange other things for you!" Li Zhang finally nodded and helped people to the end. Since he has changed Yang Wenguang's fate, he will change it thoroughly.
"Thank you, the Superintendent!" Seeing Li Zhang agreeing, Yang Wenguang immediately said excitedly. In fact, he came to Li Zhang and just wanted to try his best. After all, he was leaving martial arts today, and it was too late to have time. However, he didn't expect that Li Zhang agreed to him, which was also an unexpected surprise for him.
"Brother Yang San, you are the first batch of graduates of martial arts. What kind of martial arts can develop in the future depends on your performance. However, no matter where you are in the future, I hope you can remember the teachings of martial arts to you!" Li Zhang said at the end, a solemn look on his face. It was precisely because Yang Wenguang and other students were so important that he took time to see them off.
"Don't worry, the Superintendent, I remember that the Superintendent said to us at the beginning. Now we are proud of martial arts, and martial arts will be proud of us in the future. Students always keep this sentence in their hearts and will never embarrass martial arts!" Yang Wenguang immediately stood up straight and said loudly.
When he came to martial arts, he actually regarded martial arts as a stepping stone to leave the imperial guards. However, as he studied martial arts, he gradually discovered that martial arts was extraordinary, which made him quickly truly agree with the concept of martial arts. From then on, he also became a real martial arts student.
It was getting late, and Yang Wenguang and Di Qing and other students were finally ready. Then Li Zhang summoned these people to the school grounds, then gave a few brief words of encouragement, and then had the last meal with them. Then he ordered these people to carry their luggage and leave the martial arts. There were special officials outside to receive them. At that time, they would be arranged to go to Northwest or Hebei separately and be arranged to serve in various military forces.
Li Zhang supported Cao Wei and stood in a small building behind the martial arts gate. He watched the students in front of the gate be divided into several teams, and then left one after another with the reception officials. This made both of them look reluctant, especially Cao Wei, because among this group of students, many of them were his nephews, and several grandchildren, who now have to travel far away from home and go to the battlefield to fight for a future, which also makes Cao Wei look a little sad.
"These trainees have all left, but I don't know how many people will survive in a few years?" Looking at the trainees who were leaving, Cao Wei suddenly whispered in a heavy tone. As a general, no one knows the cruelty of the battlefield better than him. No matter what your origin is, whether you are tall, short, beautiful, or ugly, there is no difference on the battlefield. Even a general, he doesn't know when he will die on the battlefield?
Li Zhang was also worried when he heard Cao Wei's words. These students were recruited by him by himself, and he watched them grow little by little. Li Zhang could even call out everyone's name, but some of these people were destined to never come back. After all, as long as the battle was fought, there would always be casualties. In the upcoming war against Dangxiang, the names of these people may appear on the list of casualties.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang's mood became even more depressed, and finally asked with some doubts: "Uncle Cao, have we done something wrong?"
Cao Wei also heard Li Zhang's words, but he suddenly stood up and widened his eyes and said, "Barring, since they have entered martial arts, they must be prepared to die on the battlefield. This is also the best destination for military generals. Instead of living for a hundred years, it is better to fight in a vigorous battle!"
Cao Wei is a traditional military general and received the orthodox military general education. So although he was sad, he would not regret it. After all, as a military general, he must have the awareness of dying in battle. Otherwise, who should defend the territory of the Song Dynasty?
When Li Zhang heard Cao Wei's angrily scolding, he felt a little better. He smiled slightly and said nothing. Then he helped Cao Wei down the small building. Cao Wei's health was always bad. Even if Li Zhang was staring at him on the martial arts side, Cao Wei still couldn't help but worry. Moreover, he was too old, and even he felt that he could not hold on for a few years.
