Great Song Pirate

Chapter 277 Recommendation

Chapter 277 Recommendation
Xu Yi and Zhao Xu chatted until late at night, Zhao Xu was a little drunk, Zhang Hu recruited a few maidservants to help him down, and Xu Yi was also arranged to rest in the wing.

Xu Yi was lying on the bed but couldn't sleep all the time. He always felt that he should be able to do something, or let this Zhao Xu do something to cheer him up. Compared with the him he saw in Hangzhou two years ago , has been depressed too much.

But what to do?Xu Yi seemed to have some inspiration, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, so he tossed and turned until very late before falling asleep.

Just after dawn, Xu Yi got up and came to Zhao Xu's small martial arts field, and started the morning practice that he had insisted on for a long time. Now he is dancing with swords and spears. Quite a momentum.

Just as Xu Yiwu was on the rise, suddenly a person screamed, rushed into the arena with a long sword in his hand, raised his hand and stabbed at him, Xu Yi quickly took the knife to seal the long sword of the comer, raised his eyes and saw With a smiling face on Zhao Xu's face, he quickly put away his knife and bowed to greet Zhao Xu: "I don't know that the lord has already woken up, and I danced the knife here early in the morning, which disturbed the slumber of the lord, please forgive me!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, I'm used to getting up early to practice martial arts, but I drank a little too much last night, but I was rushed to the front by you. I think your sword skills are quite good, so today I'm a little bit itchy. The two of us might as well have a competition today! Let me also see your martial arts! I really didn’t expect that you are a character who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs! Come on, let’s take a few moves and see who is the best!" As he spoke, he opened his posture.

Xu Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how dare you compare yourself with the lord. Practicing martial arts is just for the sake of strengthening your body and having a little self-protection power. How can you be your match, lord!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "You are not happy now. I just saw that your sword skills are quite good. No, you must have a competition today! Let's see the sword!" He rushed towards Xu Yi without explaining.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was in good spirits, Xu Yi didn't want to dampen his spirits, so after offending him, he swung his sword and fought with Zhao Xu. Evenly matched.

As soon as he started, Xu Yi discovered that this Zhao Xu's swordsmanship was actually quite good. He had obviously been instructed by an expert, and his moves were calm. The wind was very cold, and he followed a pure Yang routine, not some fancy posture, but very rigorous, and he must have been immersed in this aspect for a long time. After Xu Yi faced him, he felt a sense of being trapped Overwhelmed feeling.

But Xu Yi didn't give it in vain. His sword technique was passed down by Yingchun and taught by Li Bo, and he himself worked hard. Although he only practiced martial arts for more than two years, he practiced martial arts to save his life. Find a master like Li Bo to feed him, so his saber technique is after a lot of practical application experience. Every move made Zhao Xu feel like he was in a hurry.

The two people fought back and forth in the arena, and the swords in their hands collided and clanged from time to time, which shocked many guards of the palace. These people rushed to the courtyard with their weapons in their hands, and Zhang Hu was the first to arrive. He saw that the prince was fighting with Xu Yi. Although the two were fighting fiercely, it was obviously a competition, so he quickly reached out to stop the guards who were about to speak to stop Xu Yi, calmed down everyone, and stood aside watch.

Although Xu Yi fought hard, but he didn't lose his mind. After he and Zhao Xu went on a hundred moves, he deliberately sold a loophole and let Zhao Xu point his sword at his throat, then dropped the knife and said with a smile: " Your lord is really good at swordsmanship, Cao Min is no match for your lord!"

Zhao Xu laughed and took back the long sword. Amidst the applause from the guards, he raised his hand and threw it to Zhang Hu who was standing not far away. Dishonest, although you may not be able to beat me, but you will not lose so quickly, you are deliberately selling my face, no, this is no good! It makes me unhappy!"

Xu Yi hurriedly said politely: "Where! After all, Caomin has not practiced martial arts for a long time, and it is reasonable to be defeated by the prince, but the prince's swordsmanship is proficient, which opened Caomin's horizons today!"

Zhao Xu waved the guards back, leaving only Zhang Hu, ordered him to find someone to bring a towel, wiped his face with Xu Yi, went to the room and sat down to have breakfast, after such a competition After that, both of them felt comfortable and even ate two more bowls for breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhao Xu took Xu Yi and Zhang Hu back to the study. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the set of "Wu Jing Zong Yao" neatly stacked on the table. I don't remember that I seem to have moved this set of books to read, so I asked Zhang Hu: "Zhang Hu, did anyone enter my study yesterday?"

Zhang Hu immediately bowed and replied: "My lord, have you forgotten? When Mr. Xu came yesterday, you ordered me to ask Mr. Xu to wait for you in the study, and later you ordered me to invite Mr. Xu to meet you in the front hall!"

Xu Yi also quickly explained: "Yes, after I came here yesterday, I came here first, so I read some books and asked the prince to forgive me!"

Zhao Xu slapped his forehead and laughed: "Look at me, how did you forget about this matter? It's okay, brother Xu's love of reading is a serious matter, otherwise you wouldn't have such good insights, this set of books wouldn't It's you who fell in love again!" He flipped through the set of books on the table and asked with a smile.

Xu Yi shyly said: "I've heard people talk about this book before, but I've never had the chance to see it. After reading it yesterday, I really like it! Hehe!"

Seeing the smile on his face, Zhao Xu knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I really admire Brother Xu's face now, if you want you, just say so, why are you making so many detours? The compulsory books prepared by the emperor for civil and military officials all over the world cannot be sold by the people, and it is not surprising that you can’t see them. It’s a pity that there are very few people who actually read this set of books now! Thanks to the painstaking efforts of the first emperor, so that now the truly capable ministers and brave generals in my Song Dynasty can be said to be rare, and the strong soldiers that can be used are even less pitiful. The remnant soldiers of the Liao Kingdom who are about to destroy the country can't beat it! It's a pity! If you like this set of books, you can also take them. I have nothing to give you. If you like the books here, just take them. Let me thank you!" As he spoke, his complexion began to sink again.

Xu Yi hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your great love, I really can't repay you. You don't have to worry too much about today's affairs, let alone belittle yourself. It's not that our Song Dynasty is incapable, but many people are still buried in the It’s just that people or the army have never had a chance to stand out. In our great country, there are still as many people who can recruit good fighters as crucian carp crossing the river. As long as they have the opportunity, they will serve the country!”

After listening to Xu Yi's consolation, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and asked Xu Yi: "Oh? Do you really think about this? Then let me ask you, you must know the folks who walk around a lot. There are a lot of talents, so you might as well recommend some brave generals to me, and if you have a chance, I might as well recommend them too! It’s much better than letting them be buried among the people!”

Xu Yi's heart suddenly moved, and the first name that popped up in his mind was the word Yue Fei, and then a series of names flashed out. He had no chance to meet these loyal ministers and famous generals, but why not take this opportunity to recommend it to Zhao Xu Woolen cloth?Maybe with such a recommendation from him, there is really another chance for them to rise faster?After thinking of this, he quickly nodded and said: "My lord, I really remembered the names of a few people when I asked this question. This time when I was going to Cizhou, I heard a person named Yue Fei when I passed by Tangyin. Just 20 years old, born with supernatural power, able to open a five-stone hard bow, and extremely brave. He has learned martial arts from famous teachers and is good at using long spears. He is also familiar with military books, good at using soldiers, and is very concerned about state affairs. There are many heroes in the countryside. He has a few brothers, all of whom are brave generals with high martial arts skills. After I heard about it, I went to visit it on purpose. Unfortunately, he heard that the Jin people in the north were disturbing his border. Before I found his home, he took him with him. A few brothers abandoned their families and children, and went to Zhending to join the army! I am so sorry! If this person goes through experience, he will definitely become a generation of famous generals, and he will become the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty!"

After listening to Xu Yi's introduction to Yue Fei, Zhao Xu said happily: "Five-stone strong bow, how much strength does it take! Is there really such a strong general in my Song Dynasty? Good! I will definitely write down this name. Is his name Yue Fei? It’s rare to have such a heart to serve the country at such a young age, it’s really rare! If there is another chance, I must meet this person! Go on! Go on! Do you know of any capable people?”

Now that Zhao Xu asked, Xu Yi stopped hiding anything, and continued to say: "Caomin has heard of one person among the people, but this person is now serving in the army. This person's name is Han Shizhong, and he also has undeserved courage. At first, I heard that he had participated in the campaign against Xixia, and he made great achievements in beheading the generals and seizing the customs. Later, when the imperial court sent troops to suppress Fang La's rebellion, this man emerged even more. He defeated the rebels many times, and personally captured Fang La in one fell swoop. Everywhere, there are few defeats, and he is also a rare handsome talent, but I have only heard of this person, and where he is now, I don’t know!” Xu Yi can’t remember many details about Han Shizhong. , let alone who he played under.

Zhao Xu nodded and wrote down Han Shizhong's name and said, "I've heard about this man. He's a general, not bad. I'll ask someone to check later and I'll find out where he is! Is there anyone else?"

Xu Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked Zhao Xu, "I wonder if the lord has heard of Li Gang?"

Zhao Xu thought about it for a while and didn't seem to remember the name, but Zhang Hu said: "My lord, I have heard of this person. This person is a civil servant. Later, it seems that Shi, because he wrote a letter to forcefully report the current internal and external troubles, was condemned by the Holy One and demoted from the capital. I don’t remember exactly where he was demoted! But you only need to inquire later to find out!”

"Oh? There are such people in the court? I didn't notice it! It's a pity! The more capable ministers are, the less likely they are to be reused. It's really..." Zhao Xu sighed, but suddenly realized that he was so He said, as if he was blaming his father, so he quickly shut up.

No wonder Zhao Xu didn't know about Li Gang. When Li Gang was demoted from the capital, he was still young, so it's not surprising that he didn't know.

"Although this Li Gang is a civil official, the grassroots have also heard of him among the people. According to legend, this man has a high vision, a lot of literary talent, an honest official, and is loyal and daring to speak out. He is really a rare talent. Once Xun Xing is definitely a person who can be used to great advantage!" Xu Yi added.

Zhao Xu nodded again, wrote down Li Gang's name, and asked Xu Yi to continue. Xu Yi thought about it again, and suddenly thought of another celebrity. He wanted to say his name, but he hesitated again. He knew that although Zhang Jun was also a famous general, he had some real skills, but he had many bad deeds. Forget it, but the biggest stain in his life is that he followed Qin Hui, echoed Zhao Gou, and framed Yue Fei. Although he was a famous general, his character was really not that good. Thinking of him framed Yue Fei, Xu Yi gritted his teeth in hatred , So when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his words and said: "I heard that there is another person in Lushan. His name is Niu Minggao. I just heard his name, I don't know where he is now! There are many others, I can't list them all, but there are many capable generals in the army alone, as long as these people can be reused , Many people can be independent, our Song Dynasty does not lack talents, but many talents have not been discovered yet!"

Zhao Xu picked up a pen and wrote down Niu Gao's name, nodded and said: "Brother Xu is right, it seems that our Song Dynasty really has a lot of talents, what is lacking now is to give them a place where they can show their abilities, It's a pity that my ability is limited now, so I must dig out these talents one by one, and I must not let them be buried in the folk. If I have this ability, you Brother Xu will be the first talent I want to find, let you go Doing those business among the people is really deceiving your great talent.”

After hearing this, Xu Yi smiled and said, "What can I do! But I just like to think about things. If I were to be an official, I'm afraid I love money. , I definitely can't bear to refuse. With short hands and soft mouths, it won't take long if this goes on, and I will become a big corrupt official. If I don't keep it, I will become a new generation of treacherous ministers. It’s not cost-effective, I think it’s better for me to keep my head and work in this businessman’s old profession, besides, I’m used to idleness and wild cranes, so I can’t stand the constraints of officialdom! Don’t do it, absolutely not!”

Hearing what he said, Zhao Xu and Zhang Hu laughed together.

(In the third update, some brothers said that this paragraph is not good, don’t worry, the land trip will end soon, and I will go to Taiwan to farm soon!)
